2011 Lancia Ypsilon fuel

HOT ENGINE COOLANT
(red)
Turning the key to the MAR-ON position
illuminates the warning light, but it should switch
off after a few seconds. The warning light switches
on (on some versions, with a message on the
display and a symbol on the display) when the
engine is overheated.
If the warning light comes on when driving,
proceed as follows:
❒when driving normally:stop the car, switch
off the engine and check that the water level
in the reservoir is not below the MIN mark. If it
is, wait for a few minutes for the engine to
cool down then slowly and carefully open the
cap, top up with coolant and check that the
level is between the MIN and MAX marks. Also
check visually for any fluid leaks. Go to a
Lancia Dealership if the warning light should
switch on when the engine is started again;
❒if the vehicle is used under demanding
conditions(e.g. towing trailers uphill or fully
loaded): slow down and, if the light stays on,
stop the car. Wait for 2 or 3 minutes with the
engine running and slightly accelerated to
further favour the coolant circulation. Then stop
the engine. Check the correct liquid level as
described above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is
advisable to keep the engine on and slightly
accelerated for a few minutes before switching it
off.
FUEL RESERVE – LIMITED
RANGE (amber)
This warning light comes on when about 5 to 7
litres of fuel are left in the tank. When the
remaining range is approx. 50 km (or equivalent
value in miles), on some versions, the display
will show a warning message.
IMPORTANT The warning light will flash to
indicate a system failure. Go to a Lancia
Dealership to have the system checked.
EOBD/INJECTION SYSTEM
FAILURE (amber)
In normal conditions, the warning light switches
on when the key is turned to MAR (on some
versions, with a message on the display), but
should switch off as soon as the engine is started.

If the warning light remains on or switches on
whilst driving, the injection system is not working
properly; in particular, if the warning light
switches on constantly, this indicates a
malfunction in the supply/ignition system that
could cause excessive exhaust emissions, a possible
loss of performance, poor driveability and high
fuel consumption.
Under these conditions, you may continue
travelling at moderate speed without demanding
excessive effort from the engine. Prolonged use
of the car with the warning light on may cause
damage. Contact a Lancia Dealership as soon as
possible.
The warning light goes out after the fault
disappears, but the notification is stored in the
system.
NOTE (valid only for petrol engines)
If the warning light is flashing, the catalytic
converter could be damaged.
In this case, it is necessary to release the
accelerator pedal to lower the speed of the engine
until the warning light stops flashing; continue the
journey at moderate speed, trying to avoid
driving conditions that may cause further flashing
and contact a Lancia Dealership as soon as
possible.
Go to a Lancia Dealership as soon as
possible if
warning light either does
not light up when the key is turned to
MAR or if while travelling the warning light
comes on either constantly or flashing (along
with a message and a symbol on the display
on some versions). The operation of warning
light
may be checked by the traffic police
using specific devices. Comply with the laws
and regulations of the country where you
are driving.ESC SYSTEM FAILURE (amber)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This warning light switches on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should switch off
after a few seconds. If the warning light does not
switch off or remains on (along with a message
and a symbol on the display on some versions)
whilst driving, contact a Lancia Dealership.
Flashing of the warning light while driving
indicates the action of the ESC system.
Hill Holder failure
This warning light switches on, on some versions
together with the
symbol and a message in
the display, in the event of a Hill Holder system
failure. In this case, go to a Lancia Dealership.

LANCIA CODE SYSTEM FAILURE
(amber)
The warning light (or symbol on the display)
switches on (along with a message on the display
on some versions) to indicate a Lancia CODE
system failure: in this case contact a Lancia
Dealership as soon as possible.GLOW PLUG HEATING/GLOW PLUG
HEATING FAILURE (Diesel versions)
(amber)
GLOW PLUG HEATING
The warning light switches on when the key is
turned to MAR and switches off as soon as the
glow plugs have reached the preset temperature.
The engine can be started as soon as the warning
light switches off.
IMPORTANT At high ambient temperatures the
warning light may stay on for an extremely short
time.
GLOW PLUG HEATING FAILURE
The warning light flashes (together with a
message and a symbol on the display on some
versions) to indicate a fault in the glow plugs
preheating system. Contact a Lancia Dealership to
have the fault fixed as soon as possible.
WATER IN DIESEL FUEL FILTER
(Diesel versions) (amber)
The warning light remains on constantly when
driving (together with a message and a symbol on
the display on some versions), to indicate the
presence of water in the diesel fuel filter.The presence of water in the supply
circuit may cause severe damage to the
injection system and irregular engine
operation. If the
warning light switches on,
go to a Lancia Dealership as soon as possible
for bleeding. If this problem is indicated
immediately after refueling, water may have
entered the fuel tank. In this case,
immediately turn off the engine and contact
your Lancia Dealership.
“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING FAILURE (red)
This warning light switches on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR-ON, but it should switch off
after a few seconds. If the warning light (or, on
some versions, a message and a symbol on the
display) remains on, you may not have steering
assistance and the effort required to operate
the steering wheel could be notably increased;
steering is, however, possible. In this case, go to a
Lancia Dealership.

WARNING
The driving speed should always be
suitable to traffic
conditions, weather
conditions and the driver should always
comply with the Highway Code. The engine
may be turned off while the DPF light is
on; however, repeated interruption of the
regeneration process may result in
premature exhaustion of engine oil. For this
reason, always wait until the warning light
switches off before stopping the engine as
described above. It is not a good idea to
complete DPF regeneration with the
car stationary.GENERIC FAILURE INDICATION

Never use a fast battery-charger to start
the engine as this could damage the
electronic systems of your car,
particularly the ignition and fuel supply
control units.
WARNING
This procedure must be performed by
expert personnel because
incorrect
actions could cause electrical discharge of
considerable intensity. Furthermore, battery
fluid is poisonous and corrosive: avoid
contact with skin and eyes. Keep naked
flames and lighted cigarettes away from the
battery and do not cause sparks.
BUMP STARTING
Never jump start the engine by pushing, towing or
coasting downhill.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake servo and
electrical power steering system are not active
until the engine is started. A much greater effort
will therefore be required to use the brake pedal or
turn the steering wheel.
REPLACING A WHEELGENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The car is equipped with the "Fix&Go Automatic
Kit": see the paragraph “Automatic Fix&Go
Kit” for how to use this device. As an alternative
to the “Automatic Fix&Go Kit” the car may be
equipped with a space-saver wheel: see the
instructions on the following pages for changing
the tyre.
WARNING
The space-saver wheel (for versions/
markets where provided)
is specific
to your car, do not use it on other models, or
use the space-saver wheel of other models
on your car. The space-saver wheel must
only be used in case of emergency. It must
only be used for the distance necessary
to reach a service point and the car speed
must not exceed 80 km/h. The space-saver
wheel has an orange sticker that summarises
the main cautions for use and limitations.
Never remove or cover the label. The
following information is provided in four
languages on the label: "Important! For
temporary use only! 80 km/h max! Replace
with a standard tyre as soon as possible.
Never cover this indication." Never apply a
hub cap on a space-saver wheel.
