2011 Lancia Ypsilon Owner handbook (in English)

INTRODUCTIONThe radio has been designed according to the
passenger compartment's specific characteristics
and with a personalised design that complements
the style of the dashboard.
The instructions for use are given below. We
recommend that you read them carefully.
TIPS
Road safety
Familiarise yourself with the various car radio
functions (e.g. storing radio stations), before
starting to drive.
Reception conditions
Reception conditions change constantly while
driving. Reception may be interfered with by the
presence of mountains, buildings or bridges, or
when you are far away from the broadcaster.
Note
The volume may be increased when receiving
traffic alerts and news.
WARNING
If the volume is too loud this could be
dangerous for the
driver and for
passengers when driving in traffic. Always
adjust the volume so that you can still hear
background noises.
Maintenance and care
Only clean the cover with a soft, anti-static cloth.
Cleaning and polishing products may damage the
surface.
CD
Dirt, scratches or any distortions on CDs may
cause skipping during playback and poor sound
quality. Follow these tips for optimum playback
conditions:
❒only use CDs with the brand:
❒clean every CD thoroughly removing any
fingerprints or dust using a soft cloth. Hold CDs
by the circumference and clean them from the
centre towards the edge;

SOUND-SYSTEM

❒never use chemical products (e.g. antistatic or
thinner spray cans) for cleaning as they could
damage the surface of the CDs;
❒after listening to them place CDs back in their
cases to avoid them being damaged;
❒do not expose CDs to direct sunlight, high
temperatures or moisture for long periods;
❒do not stick labels on the surface of the CD and
do not write on the recorded surface using pens
or pencils;
❒Never use CDs that are very scratched, cracked,
distorted, etc. Their use could cause damage the
player or make it malfunction;
❒to achieve the best quality audio reproduction
we recommend the use of original CD media.
Correct operation is not guaranteed when CD-
R/RW media are used that were not correctly
burnt and/or with a maximum capacity above
650 Mb;
❒do not use commercially available protective
sheets for CDs or discs with stabilisers as they
could get stuck in the internal mechanism and
damage the disc;❒if a copy-protected CD is used, it may take a few
seconds before the system starts to play it. The
CD player cannot be guaranteed to play all
protected discs. The presence of copy protection
is often indicated in small letters or may be
difficult to read on the cover of the CD; it may
say something like, for example, "COPY
CONTROL", "COPY PROTECTED", "THIS
CD CANNOT BE PLAYED ON A PC/MAC" or
may be identified through the use of symbols,
such as, for example:
❒The CD player is able to read most of the
compression systems currently on the market
(e.g.:LAME, BLADE, XING, FRAUNHOFER)
but as these systems are continually evolving,
playback of all compression formats is not
guaranteed.

carefully designed to provide the best acoustic
performance and reproduce sound like a live
concert in all areas of the passenger compartment.
The system faithfully reproduces crystalline treble
tones and provides full and rich bass tones that
make the loudness function superfluous.
The complete range of sound is reproduced
throughout the entire passenger compartment so
that the occupants are enveloped with the feeling
of space experienced when listening to live music.
The components used have been patented and
make use of the most sophisticated technology
whilst at the same time being easy to use by even
the most inexperienced people.
