2011 Lancia Ypsilon engine

MSR SYSTEM
(Motor Schleppmoment Regelung)
This system is an integral part of the ABS, that
intervenes, if there is sudden downshifting,
restoring torque to the engine, thereby preventing
excessive drive at the drive wheels which,
especially in poor grip conditions, could lead to a
loss in stability of the car.
START&STOP SYSTEMINTRODUCTION
The Start&Stop system automatically stops the
engine each time the car is stationary and starts it
again when the driver wants to move off. In this
way, the car efficiency is increased, by reducing
consumption, dangerous gas emissions and noise
pollution.
The system activates every time the car is started.
OPERATING MODES
Engine stopping mode
With the car stopped, the engine stops with
gearbox in neutral and clutch pedal released.
NoteThe engine can only be stopped
automatically after driving at a speed of more
than about 10 km/h, to prevent the engine from
being repeatedly stopped when driving at walking
pace.
Symbol
appears on the display when the engine
stops.

res arting

In these cases, the display shows a message and -
for versions/markets, where provided - the symbol
flashes on the display.
If climate comfort is to be favoured, the
Start&Stop system can be disabled,
for a continuous operation of the
climate control system.
ENGINE RESTARTING CONDITIONS
For reasons of comfort, limiting harmful emissions
and safety purposes, the power unit can restart
automatically without any action on behalf of the
driver if certain conditions are met, including:
❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒windscreen wipers working at maximum speed;
❒reduced braking system vacuum (e.g. if the
brake pedal is pressed repeatedly);
❒car moving (e.g. when driving on roads with a
gradient);
❒engine stopping by Start&Stop system for over
3 minutes;
❒for versions equipped with automatic climate
control (for versions/markets where provided),
to enable suitable thermal comfort or with
MAX-DEF activation.With gear engaged, automatic engine restarting is
possible only by fully depressing the clutch pedal.
The driver is informed by the displaying of a
message on the display and - for versions/markets,
where provided - by the flashing of the symbol
.
Notes
If the clutch is not pressed, 3 minutes after the
engine stops, the engine can be restarted only
using the ignition key.
In cases when the engine stops and this is not
desired, due for example to the clutch pedal being
released sharply with a gear engaged, if the
Start&Stop system is activated, the engine can be
restarted by fully depressing the clutch pedal or
by placing the gear lever in neutral.
SAFETY FUNCTIONS
When the engine is stopped by the Start&Stop
system, if the driver releases his/her seat belt and
opens the driver's or passenger's door, the engine
can be restarted only using the ignition key.
The driver is informed by a buzzer and by the
flashing of the symbol
on the display; on some
versions, a message is displayed as well.

"ENERGY SAVING" FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
If, following automatic engine restarting, the
driver does not carry out any action on the car for
over 3 minutes, the Start&Stop system stops the
engine once and for all, to prevent fuel
consumption. In these cases, the engine can be
restarted only using the ignition key.
NoteIn any case, it is possible to keep the engine
running by deactivating the Start&Stop system.
IRREGULAR OPERATION
In the event of malfunction, the Start&Stop
system is deactivated. The driver is informed
about the fault through the flashing of the symbol
on the display (for some versions through the
display of a message). In this case, go to a Lancia
Dealership.CAR INACTIVITY
In the event of car inactivity, special attention
must be paid due to the disconnection of the
battery power supply.
Proceed as follows: detach the connector A fig. 70
(by pressing button B) from sensor C for
monitoring the status of the battery installed on
the negative battery pole D. This sensor should
never be disconnected from the pole except if the
battery is replaced.
WARNING
When replacing the battery, always
contact a Lancia
Dealership. Replace
the battery with one of the same type
(HEAVY DUTY) and with the same
specifications.

EOBD SYSTEMThe EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnosis) carries out a continuous diagnosis of
the components of the car related to emissions. It
also alerts the driver about component
deterioration by switching on the warning light on
the instrument panel and the displaying of a
relevant message (for versions/markets, where
provided) (see the chapter “Warning lights and
messages”).
The aim of the EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnosis) is to:
❒monitor the system efficiency;
❒indicate an increase in emissions;
❒indicate the need to replace damaged
components.
The system also has a diagnosis connector that
can be interfaced to suitable instruments, to read
the error codes stored in the control unit together
with a series of specific parameters for engine
operation and diagnosis.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the failure, to
check the system completely, Lancia Dealerships
run a bench test and, if necessary, road tests which
may also call for a long journey.
DUALDRIVE ELECTRIC POWER
STEERINGThis only operates with the key turned to MAR
and the engine started. The steering allows the
force required at the steering wheel to be adjusted
to suit driving conditions.
IMPORTANT When turning the ignition key
quickly, full power steering functionality can be
achieved after a few seconds.
CITY FUNCTION ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
Press button CITY fig. 73 to activate/deactivate
the function. The activation of the function is
signalled by the word CITY on the display (in
some versions it is signalled by the word CITY
appearing on the instrument panel).

When the CITY function is on, the steering wheel
effort is lighter, parking operations are easier:
therefore this function is particularly useful for
driving in city centres.
WARNING
It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market
operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device) that could badly affect performance
and safety, invalidate warranty and also
result in non-compliance of the car with
type approval requirements.
IMPORTANT During parking manoeuvres
requiring a lot of steering, the steering may
become harder; this is normal and is due to the
intervention of the system to protect the electric
steering motor from overheating, so no
intervention is required. When the car is used
again later on, the power steering will work
normally.
WARNING
Before starting any servicing
operation, stop the
engine and
remove the key from the ignition switch to
operate the steering lock, particularly when
the wheels do not touch the ground. If this
is not possible (for example if the key needs
to be turned to MAR-ON or the engine must
be running), remove the main fuse that
protects the electric power steering.

REFUELLING THE CARVersions equipped with "Smart Fuel" system are
provided with an inhibiter preventing refuelling
with incorrect fuel.
Accidental refuelling with non compliant fuels (for
example petrol in Diesel engines) can only occur
in the case of versions equipped with fuel tank
cap. Before refuelling, make sure that the fuel type
is correct.
Switch off the engine before refuelling.
PETROL ENGINES
Use unleaded petrol only, with an octane number
(R.O.N.) no lower than 95. In order to prevent
damage to the catalytic converter never introduce
even the smallest amount of leaded petrol, even
in the event of an emergency.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalytic converter
leads to harmful exhaust emissions, thus
contributing to air pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol, even in
small amounts or in an emergency, as this would
damage the catalytic converter beyond repair.DIESEL ENGINES
Operation at low temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, the diesel
thickens due to the formation of paraffin clots
with consequent defective operation of the fuel
supply system.
In order to avoid these problems, different types of
diesel fuel are distributed according to the season:
summer type, winter type and arctic type
(cold/mountain areas). If refuelling with diesel
fuel whose specifications are not suitable for the
current temperature, it is advisable to mix
TUTELA DIESEL ART additive in the
proportions shown on the container with the fuel.
Pour the additive into the tank before the diesel
fuel.
When using or parking the car for a long time in
the mountains or cold areas, it is advisable to
refuel using locally available diesel. In this case, it
is also advisable to keep the tank over 50% full.
