2011 Lancia Ypsilon maintenance schedule

VERY IMPORTANTREFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol
with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in
compliance with the European Standard EN228.
The use of petrol that does not conform to the
above-mentioned specification will cause the
EOBD warning light to come on and the irregular
operation of the engine.
Diesel engines: refuel only with diesel fuel
conforming to the European specification
EN590. The use of other products or mixtures
may damage the engine beyond repair and
consequently invalidate the warranty.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Make sure that the handbrake is engaged; place
the gear lever in neutral. Fully depress the clutch
pedal, without pressing the accelerator, then
turn the ignition key to the MAR position and
wait for the
and
warning lights to
switch off (diesel versions); turn the ignition key
to the AVV position and release it as soon as
the engine starts.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high
temperatures during operation. Do not park the
car on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other
flammable material: fire hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The car is fitted with a system that allows
continuous diagnosis of the components related
to emissions to ensure increased respect for
the environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the car, you decide to add
electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually
draining the battery), contact a Lancia
Dealership. They can calculate the overall
electrical requirement and check that the car's
electric system can support the required load.
CODE card(for versions/markets, where provided)
Keep it in a safe place, not in the car. Make sure
you have the electronic code written on the
CODE card with you at all times.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance of the car is essential for
ensuring that it maintains its performance and its
safety features, its environmental friendliness
and low running costs for a long time to come.
THE OWNER MANUAL CONTAINS…
... important information, advice and warnings
for correct use, driving safety and maintenance of
your car over time. Special attention must be
paid to the symbols provided
(safety of
persons)
(environmental protection)
(car
integrity).

❒press the button
or
to adjust the
volume; an acoustic signal equal to the volume
level being selected is emitted during this
adjustment;
❒press the
button briefly to return to the menu
screen or give the button a long press to return
to the standard screen without storing.
On versions with reconfigurable multifunction
display, the volume level is represented by bars.
Belt buzzer (Buzzer activation for SBR
indication)(for versions/markets, where
provided)
This function can only be displayed after a Lancia
Dealership has deactivated the SBR system (see
"SBR system" in the "Safety" chapter).
Service (Scheduled servicing)
Using this function you can display information
about the mileage or daily intervals for car
servicing. With the Service function it is also
possible to view the interval (in kilometres or
miles) before the next engine oil change is due.
To consult this display, proceed as follows:
❒briefly press the
button, which makes the
display show the service interval in km or mi
according to the previous setting (see "Distance
units of measurement" paragraph);
❒briefly press button
to return to the menu
screen or hold it down to return to the standard
screen.NoteThe "Scheduled Servicing Plan" requires the
car to be serviced every 30,000 km (or 18,000
miles). This is automatically displayed, when the
ignition key is turned to MAR, from 2,000 km
(or the equivalent in miles) and reappears every
200 km (or the equivalent in miles). Below 200
km servicing indications are more frequent. The
display will be in kilometres or miles depending
on the measurement unit settings. When the next
scheduled service is approaching, the message
"Service" will appear on the display, followed by
the number of kilometres or miles left, when
the key is turned to MAR. Contact a Lancia
Dealership where the operations of the "Scheduled
Servicing Plan" will be performed and the
message will be reset.

WARNING
Press the clutch pedal fully to change
gears correctly.
It is therefore
essential that there is nothing under the
pedals: make sure the mats are lying flat and
do not get in the way of the pedals.Do not drive with your hand resting on
the gear lever as the force exerted,
even if slight, could lead over time to
premature wear of the gearbox internal
components.
FUEL SAVINGSHere are some suggestions which may help you to
save fuel and lower the amount of harmful
emissions released into the atmosphere.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in
accordance with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressure at least once every 4
weeks: if the pressure is too low, consumption
levels increase as resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight
of the car and its arrangement greatly affect fuel
consumption and stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof
after use. These accessories lower aerodynamic
penetration and adversely affect consumption
levels. When transporting particularly large
objects, use a trailer if possible.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICINGCorrect servicing is essential in guaranteeing a
long life for the car under the best conditions.
Lancia has prepared a series of checks and service
operations to be carried out every 30,000
kilometres (for petrol versions) or every 35,000
kilometres (for diesel versions).
Check the items on the Scheduled Servicing Plan
(e.g. periodically check level of liquids, tyre
pressure, etc.) before 30,000/35,000 km and
between these services deadlines.
Scheduled Services are offered by all Lancia
Dealerships according to a set time schedule. If,
during each operation, in addition to the ones
scheduled, the need arises for further
replacements or repairs, these may be carried out
only with the explicit agreement of the Customer.
If your car is used frequently for towing, the
interval between one service operation and the
next should be reduced.WARNING
At 2000 km from the next service operation the
display will show a message.
The Scheduled Services are set out by the
Manufacturer. Failure to have them carried out
may invalidate the warranty.
It is advisable to inform the Lancia Dealership of
any small operating irregularities without waiting
for the next service.

PARAFLU
UP
anti-freeze is used in the
engine cooling system. Use the same
fluid as in the cooling system when
topping up. PARAFLU
UP
may not be mixed
with any other types of fluids. If this occurs,
do not start the engine and contact your
Lancia Dealership immediately.
WARNING
The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only
replace the cap with
another genuine one or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do not
remove the reservoir cap when the engine is
hot: you risk scalding yourself.
WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW WASHING
FLUID
If the level is too low, raise reservoir cap D (see
previous pages) and add the fluid described in the
chapter "Technical Specifications".
WARNING
Do not travel if the windscreen
washer reservoir is
empty: using the
windscreen washer is essential for
improving visibility. Some commercial
windscreen washer additives are flammable.
The engine compartment contains hot
components which may set it on fire.
BRAKE FLUID
Check that the liquid is at the maximum level (the
fluid level in the reservoir must not exceed the
MAX mark). If the fluid level in the tank is too
low, undo reservoir cap E (see previous pages) and
add the fluid described in the chapter "Technical
Specifications".
NoteCarefully clean the cap of the reservoir E
and the surrounding surface.
When opening the cap, make sure that no dirt gets
into the reservoir.
For topping-up, always use a funnel with
integrated filter with mesh equal to or lower than
0.12 mm.
IMPORTANT Brake fluid is hygroscopic (i.e. it
absorbs moisture). For this reason, if the car
is mainly used in areas with a high degree
of atmospheric humidity, the fluid should be
replaced at more frequent intervals than specified
in the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
