2012 Lancia Ypsilon trailer

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 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.

WARNING
Before towing, turn the ignition key to
MAR and then to STOP without
removing it. The steering column will
automatically lock when the key is removed
and the wheels cannot be steered.
WARNING
Before tightening the hook clean the
threaded housing thoroughly. Make
sure that the hook is fully fastened in the
housing before towing the car.
WARNING
Whilst towing, remember that as the
assistance of the brake servo and
the electric power assisted steering is not
available, greater force needs to be exerted
on the brake pedal and more effort is
required on the steering wheel. Do not use
flexible cables when towing and avoid jerky
movements. During towing, make sure that
the trailer hitch does not damage any
components it is touching. When towing the
car, it is compulsory to respect specific
highway code regulations relating to the tow
hook and procedures for towing on the
road. Do not start the engine while towing
the car.
