2012 Lancia Ypsilon light

PRESCRIPTIONS FOR HANDLING THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF ITS LIFELancia has been committed for many years to safeguarding the environment through the constant
improvement of its production processes and manufacturing products that are increasingly "eco-
compatible". To assure customers of the best possible service in terms of respecting environmental laws
and in response to European Directive 2000/53/EC governing vehicles at the end of their life, Lancia
is offering their customers the opportunity of handing over their vehicle (*) at the end of its life without
incurring any additional costs.
The European Directive sets out that when the vehicle is handed over the last keeper or owner should
not incur any expenses as a result of it having a zero or negative market value. In all European Union
countries, until 1st January 2007, only vehicles registered after 1st July 2002 were collected free of
charge, while since 2007 collection has been free of charge irrespective of the year of registration as long
as the vehicle contains its basic components (in particular, the engine and bodywork) and has no
additional waste.
To hand your vehicle over at the end of its life without extra cost, go to one of our Lancia dealerships or
authorised collection and scrapping centres. These centres have been carefully chosen to offer high
quality service for the collection, treatment and recycling of unused vehicles with respect to the
environment.
You can find further information on these collection and scrapping centres either from a Lancia
Dealership or by calling the freephone number 00800 526242 00 or on the Lancia website.
(*) Vehicle for transporting passengers with a maximum of nine seats and a total permitted weight of
3.5 t

CD
Dirt, scratches or any distortions on CDs may
cause skipping during playback and poor sound
quality. Follow these tips for optimum playback
conditions:
❒only use CDs with the brand:❒clean every CD thoroughly removing any
fingerprints or dust using a soft cloth. Hold CDs
by the circumference and clean them from the
centre towards the edge;
❒never use chemical products (e.g. antistatic or
thinner spray cans) for cleaning as they could
damage the surface of the CDs;❒after listening to them place CDs back in their
cases to avoid them being damaged;
❒do not expose CDs to direct sunlight, high
temperatures or moisture for long periods;
❒do not stick labels on the surface of the CD and
do not write on the recorded surface using pens
or pencils;
❒Never use CDs that are very scratched, cracked,
distorted, etc. Their use could cause damage the
player or make it malfunction;
❒to achieve the best quality audio reproduction
we recommend the use of original CD media.
Correct operation is not guaranteed when CD-
R/RW media are used that were not correctly
burnt and/or with a maximum capacity above
650 Mb;

AF SWITCHING function
(alternative frequency search)
The radio can operate in two different modes in
the RDS system:
❒"AF Switching On": search for alternative
frequencies activated (the letters "AF" appear
on the display);
❒"AF Switching Off": search for alternative
frequencies not activated.
Proceed as follows to activate/deactivate the
function:
❒press the MENU button and select “AF
Switching On”;
❒press the
or
buttons to activate/deactivate
the function.
With the function activated, the radio
automatically tunes into the station with the
strongest signal broadcasting the same
programme. While driving, the same station can
be continuously listened to without having to
change the frequency when you change zones.
Obviously, it must be possible to receive the station
that you are listening to, in the area you are
driving through.
If the AF function is activated, "AF" will light up
in the display.If the AF function has been activated and the
radio is not able to receive the tuned station, the
radio activates the automatic search, during which
"FM Search" appears on the display (only for top
of the range radios).
With the AF function deactivated, the remaining
RDS functions, such as the display of the station
name, still remain active.
The AF function can only be activated on FM
bands.

SOUND-SYSTEM

TRAFFIC INFORMATION function
(traffic information)
Some stations on the FM band (FM1, FM2 and
FMA) can broadcast information about traffic
conditions.
In this case the text "TA" appears on the display.
Proceed as follows to activate/deactivate the TA
function:
❒press the MENU button briefly and select
“Traffic info”;
❒press the
or
buttons to activate/deactivate
the function.
❒If the TA function has been activated, the icon
“TA” lights up on the display.Note
If the TA function is activated with an audio
source other than Tuner (Radio) (CD, MP3,
telephone or Mute/Pause), the radio can carry out
an automatic search and therefore it is possible,
when reactivating the Tuner (Radio) source, that
the frequency tuned into is different from the one
previously set.
With the TA function, it is possible to:
❒search only for RDS stations that broadcast in
FM and are enabled to broadcast traffic
information;
❒receive traffic information even when the CD
player is in operation;
❒receive traffic information at a minimum preset
volume even with the radio volume off.
