2012 Lancia Ypsilon fuel consumption

CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short distances and frequent cold start-ups will
prevent the engine from reaching optimal running
temperature.
Consequently, both consumption (from +15 to
+30% on urban cycle ) and emissions will
increase.
Traffic and road conditions
Rather high fuel consumption is caused by heavy
traffic, for instance when travelling in a queue
with frequent use of low gears or in large towns
with many traffic lights. Winding mountain roads
and rough road surfaces also adversely affect
consumption.
Stops in traffic
During prolonged stops (e.g. level crossings) the
engine should be switched off.
TOWING TRAILERSIMPORTANT NOTES
For towing caravans or trailers the car must be
fitted with a type-approved tow hook and an
adequate electrical system. Installation must be
carried out by a specialist.
Install any specific and/or additional rear view
mirrors as specified by the Highway Code.
Remember that when towing a trailer, steep hills
are harder to climb, braking distances increase
and overtaking takes longer depending on the
overall weight of the trail.
Engage a low gear when driving downhill, rather
than constantly using the brake.
The weight of the trailer on the car's tow hook will
reduce the load capacity of the car by the same
amount. To make sure that the maximum towable
weight is not exceeded (given in the car
registration document) account should be taken of
the fully laden trailer, including accessories and
luggage.
Respect the speed limits specific to each country
for vehicles towing trailers. In any case, the top
speed must not exceed 100 km/h.
Any electric brake or other device (winch etc.)
should be powered directly by the battery through
a cable with a cross-section of no less than 2.5
mm
2.

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)
Turning the key to the MAR-ON position
illuminates the warning light, 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 intervention 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.

FUEL CONSUMPTIONThe fuel consumption figures given in the table below are determined on the basis of the type-approval
tests laid down by specific European Directives.
The following procedures are followed to measure consumption:
❒urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that simulates urban use of the car;
❒extra-urban cycle: frequent accelerating in all gears, simulating extraurban use of the car: speed
varies between 0 and 120 km/h;
❒combined fuel consumption: calculated with a weighting of approximately 37% of the urban cycle
and 63% of the extra-urban cycle.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic conditions, weather conditions, driving style, general condition
of the car, trim level/equipment/accessories, use of the climate control, car load, presence of roof racks
and other situations that adversely affect the aerodynamics or wind resistance lead to different fuel
consumption figures than those measured.
