2011 Lancia Ypsilon climate control

Electrical devices
Only use electrical devices for the time needed.
The heated rear window, additional headlights,
windscreen wipers and heater fan need a
considerable amount of energy, therefore
increasing fuel consumption (by up to 25% in the
urban cycle).
Climate control system
The use of the climate control system leads to
higher fuel consumption. If the temperature
outside permits, try to use ventilation only.
Devices for aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified devices for aerodynamic
control may adversely affect air drag and fuel
consumption.
DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine with the car at a
standstill or at idle or high speed: under these
conditions the engine warms up much more
slowly, increasing consumption and emissions. It is
therefore advisable to move off immediately,
slowly, avoiding high speeds: in this way
the engine will warm up more quickly.Unnecessary actions
Avoid revving up when at traffic lights or before
stopping the engine. This and also double
declutching is absolutely pointless on modern cars
and also increases consumption and pollution.
Gear selection
Use a higher gear as soon as traffic and road
conditions allow. Using a low gear for faster
acceleration will increase consumption.
In the same way improper use of a high gear
increases consumption, emissions and engine wear.
Maximum speed
Fuel consumption considerably increases as speed
increases. Maintain a constant speed, avoiding
unnecessary braking and acceleration, which cost
in terms of both fuel and emissions.
Acceleration
Sudden acceleration has a very negative effect on
fuel consumption and emissions: accelerate
gradually.

FUEL CONSUMPTIONThe fuel consumption figures given in the table below are determined on the basis of the type-approval tests laid down by specific European Directives. The procedures below are followed for measuring consumption:❒
urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that simulates urban use of the car;
❒
extra-urban cycle: frequent accelerating in all gears, simulating extraurban use of the car: speed varies between 0 and 120 km/h;
❒
combined fuel consumption: calculated with a weighting of approximately 37% of the urban cycle and 63% of the extra-urban cycle.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic conditions, weather conditions, driving style, general condition of the car, trim level/equipment/accessories, use of the climate control, car load, presence of roof racksand other situations that adversely affect the aerodynamics or wind resistance lead to different fuelconsumption figures than those measured.
