2011 Lancia Ypsilon technical specifications

ELECTRIC WINDOWSThese operate when the ignition key is turned to
MAR and for about three minutes after turning
the key to STOP or removing it if one of the front
doors is open.
The control buttons are located in the door panels
(for versions/markets, where provided) (the driver
side door panel can be used to operate all the
windows).
An anti-crush device operates when the front and
rear windows are raised (for versions/markets,
where provided).
WARNING
Improper use of the electric windows
can be dangerous.
Before and during
operation, always check that passengers are
not exposed to the risk of being injured
either directly by the moving windows or
through objects getting caught or struck by
them. When leaving the car, always remove
the ignition key to avoid the risk of injury
of people still on board due to accidental
operation of the electric windows.CONTROLS

Front and rear passenger doors
(for versions/markets, where provided)
On the passenger side front door control panel,
and on some versions also on the rear doors,
buttons are provided to control the associated
windows.
Anti-crush safety device
The car is equipped with an anti-crush function
for the raising of the front and rear windows. This
safety system detects the presence of an obstacle
during the window closing travel and intervenes
by stopping and reversing the window travel,
depending on its position.
This device is also useful if the windows are
activated accidentally by children on board the
car.The anti-crush safety function is active both
during the manual and the automatic operation of
the window. When the anti-crush system is
activated the window travel is immediately
interrupted and then reversed. The window
cannot be operated in any way during this
operation.
IMPORTANT If the anti-crush protection
intervenes 3 consecutive times within 1 minute or
is faulty, the automatic closing operation of the
window is inhibited, only allowing it in steps
of half a second; the button is released for the
subsequent manoeuvre. In order to restore the
correct operation of the system, the relevant
window must be lowered.
IMPORTANT With ignition key at STOP or
removed, the electric windows remain active for
about 3 minutes and are deactivated when a door
is opened.
IMPORTANT Where the anti-crush function is
present, pressing button
on the remote control
for more than 2 seconds opens the windows for as
long as the button is pressed. Pressing button
for more than 2 seconds closes the windows.
The system conforms to the 2000/4/EC
standard concerning the safety of
passengers leaning out of the passenger
compartment.
