2011 Lancia Ypsilon gearbox

HILL HOLDER SYSTEM
This system is an integral part of the ESC system
and facilitates starting on slopes.
It is activated automatically in the following
instances:
❒uphill: car stationary on a road with a gradient
higher than 5%, engine running, brake pressed
and gearbox in neutral or gear (other than
reverse) engaged;
❒downhill: car stationary on a road with a
gradient higher than 5%, engine running, brake
pressed and reverse gear engaged.
When setting off, the ESC system control unit
maintains braking pressure on the wheels until the
torque required for starting is reach or, in any
case, for a maximum of 2 seconds so that the right
foot can be moved easily from the brake pedal to
the accelerator pedal.
When 2 seconds have elapsed, without any
departure having taken place, the system is
automatically deactivated, gradually releasing the
braking pressure. During this release stage, a
typical mechanical brake release noise can
be heard, indicating that the car is about to move.
IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is not a
parking brake, therefore do not leave the vehicle
without activating the handbrake, switching
off the engine and engaging first gear.ASR SYSTEM (AntiSlip Regulation)
It is an integral part of the ESC system. It
automatically operates in the event of one or both
drive wheels slipping, loss of grip on wet roads
(aquaplaning) and acceleration on slippery, snowy
or icy roads, etc…
Depending on the slipping conditions, two
different control systems are activated:
❒if the slipping involves both drive wheels, the
ASR intervenes reducing the power transmitted
by the engine;
❒if the slipping only involves one of the drive
wheels, it intervenes automatically braking
the wheel that is slipping.
Activation/deactivation of the ASR system
The ASR system activates automatically each time
the engine is started.
Whilst driving, the ASR can be deactivated and
subsequently activated again by pressing the ASR
OFF button fig. 68.
On some versions, the intervention of the system is
indicated by a message shown on the display.
When the system is not active, the LED on the
button ASR OFF turns on and, on some versions,
a message appears on the display.
When the ASR is deactivated whilst driving, the
next time the car is started the ASR is
automatically activated.

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.

When jump starting, never connect the negative
lead (-) of the auxiliary battery to the negative
pole A fig. 71 of the car battery, but rather to an
engine/gearbox earth point.IMPORTANT NOTES
WARNING
Before opening the bonnet, make sure
that the engine
is off and that the
ignition key is in the STOP position. Follow
the instructions on the dedicated label on the
front crossmember fig. 72. We recommend
that you remove the key from the ignition
if other people remain in the vehicle. Exit
from the car only after having removed the
ignition key or having rotated it to the STOP
position. During refuelling, make sure the
car has been stopped and the key is in STOP
position.

❒Activation:pressing the button
starts the
search.
❒Search:through side sensors, the system
continuously searches for a free parking space,
suitable for the car's dimensions. The driver
chooses on which side of the road they intend to
park using the direction indicators (if no
information is available from the direction
indicators or hazard warning lights, the search
takes place on the passenger side).
IMPORTANT The SEARCHING is disabled if,
after about 10 minutes, a suitable parking space
has not been found.
❒Identification:if the system identifies a free
parking space that is a suitable size for the
car, it signals its presence and indicates
the actions required for starting the manoeuvre.
❒Manoeuvre:the driver is asked to engage
reverse gear, release the steering wheel and
manage the accelerator, brake and clutch (in the
case of manual gearbox) or accelerator and
brake (in the case of automatic gearbox) (for
versions/markets, where provided). During the
reverse parking manoeuvre, the system manages
the steering wheel automatically. According to
the parking space, the manoeuvre may end
through reversing or further manoeuvres, both
in forward gear and in reverse, may be
necessary. After the first manoeuvre, when the
rear buzzer sounds continuously, the driver
is requested to disengage reverse and engage the
forward gear. If this is not enough, when thecontinuous tone is reached, the driver is
requested to engage reverse. The semi-
automatic manoeuvre ends when the display
shows the message "End manually".
❒Conclusion:at the end of the manoeuvre, the
driver resumes control and, if necessary, has to
complete engagement manually.
IMPORTANT MANOEUVRING is disabled if,
after 3 minutes, parking has not been completed.
IMPORTANT Steering will be realigned after
reversing when reverse gear is disengaged. The
driver must complete the manoeuvre manually.
The Magic Parking operation is based
on various components: front and
rear parking sensors, side sensors,
steering system, wheels and braking system,
instrument panel. Bear in mind that
malfunction of one of these components could
compromise the operation of the system.
DESCRIPTION OF MANOEUVRING STAGES
Activation
The system is activated by pressing button
:as
soon as it is activated, the system starts searching
(the switching on of the LED on the button
indicates that the system is active).

IMPORTANT If the "Lane Change" function is
activated (see paragraph "Exterior lights" in this
chapter), the search for the parking space always
takes place on the passenger side.
IMPORTANT If the parking sensors are activated
during the search for a parking space (see
paragraph "Front and rear parking sensors" in
this chapter), the system is deactivated.
WARNING
The search for the parking space and
the parking manoeuvres
must
performed in compliance with the current
regulations of the Highway Code.
Identifying a parking space
If the system identifies a suitable parking space
between two stationary vehicles or between other
obstacles (e.g. objects with an extensive side
surface such as vehicles, boxes, etc.) it will signal
that it has found a parking space that can be
entered fig. 80.
If the position reached is already suitable at the
beginning of the manoeuvre, the system will
advise the driver to engage reverse gear, otherwise
it will request further forward motion.At the request to engage reverse gear the driver
should stop the car and engage reverse in order to
confirm the wish to start the manoeuvre. If the
driver continues driving, after about 10 metres the
system will no longer consider the parking space
identified and will start the search for new
suitable space.
Manoeuvre
The driver controls the movements of the car
using accelerator pedal, brake and clutch (only on
versions with manual gearbox) whilst the system
automatically manages the steering system to
enter the parking space identified in the best
possible way.
During the manoeuvre it will be possible to take
advantage of the information coming from the
parking sensors (when reversing it is advisable to
reach the area where the rear sensors provide a
continuous tone signal), but it is always advisable
to keep an eye on the surrounding area.

IMPORTANT Correct system operation is not
guaranteed if snow chains or emergency wheels
are fitted.
IMPORTANT The correct positioning of the car
inside the parking space detected by the system
depends on various factors, in particular the
circumference of the wheels. For example,
if wheels with a 14" diameter are fitted, the
position of the car inside the parking area could
be slightly different.
