2011 Lancia Ypsilon tyre pressure

Incorrect installation of electrical and
electronic devices may cause severe
damage to your car. After purchasing
your car, if you wish to install any accessories
(car alarm, car phone etc.), contact a Lancia
Dealership, which will suggest the most
appropriate devices for your vehicle and will,
most importantly, advise you if a
higher-capacity battery needs to be installed.Batteries contain substances which are
very dangerous for the environment.
For battery replacement, contact a
Lancia Dealership.
WARNING
If the car will be unused for an
extended period of
time in extremely
cold weather conditions, remove the battery
and store it in a heated area to avoid it
freezing.
WARNING
Always wear appropriate goggles
when working on
or near the battery.
WHEELS AND TYRESBefore long trips, and every two weeks, check the
tyre and space-saver wheel inflation pressure
(for versions/markets, where provided). Check the
tyres when cold.
While driving the car, the pressure increases under
standard conditions: for the correct tyre inflation
pressure, see "Wheels" paragraph in the
"Technical specifications" chapter.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear fig.
161:
A normal pressure: tread evenly worn;
B low pressure: tread particularly worn at the
edges;
C high pressure: tread particularly worn in the
centre.

INDEX

The tyres must be replaced when the tread is less
than 1.6 mm thick. In any case, follow the laws
in force in the country where you are driving.
IMPORTANT
Take the following precautions to prevent damage
to the tyres:
❒avoid braking suddenly, racing starts and
violent impact against the curb, potholes or
other obstacles and driving for extended periods
on uneven road surfaces;
❒periodically check that the tyres have no cuts in
the side wall, abnormal swelling or irregular
tyre wear;
❒avoid travelling with the car overloaded. If you
have a puncture, stop immediately and change
the tyre;
❒tyres age even if they are not used much. Cracks
in the tread rubber and at the sides are a sign of
ageing. In any case, if the tyres have been on
the car for over 6 years, they should be checked
by specialised personnel. Also remember to
check the space-saver wheel very carefully (for
versions/markets, where provided);
❒change the position of the tyres every 10-15
thousand kilometres, keeping them on the same
side of the car to avoid inverting the direction
of rotation;❒In the case of replacement, always fit new tyres,
avoiding those of dubious origin;
❒if a tyre is changed, also change the inflation
valve.
WARNING
The road holding qualities of the car
also depend on
the correct inflation
pressure of the tyres.
WARNING
If the pressure is too low the tyre
overheats and this
can cause it
serious damage.
WARNING
Do not cross switch the tyres, moving
them from the
right of the car to the
left and vice versa.
WARNING
Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the
use of
temperatures exceeding 150°C. The
mechanical properties of the wheels could
be impaired.
