2012 Lancia Ypsilon instrument panel

All restraint devices must bear the type-approval
data along with the control mark on a label firmly
secured to the child seat which must never be
removed. When over 1.50 m in height, from the
point of view of restraint systems, children are
considered as adults and have to wear the
standard seat belts. Lineaccessori Lancia includes
child seats for each weight group. These devices
are recommended having been specifically
designed for Lancia cars.
WARNING
Do not arrange cradle child seats
facing backwards if the front air bag
on the passenger's side is enabled.
Deployment of the air bag in an accident
could cause fatal injuries to the baby
regardless of the severity of the collision. It
is advisable to always carry children in a
child seat on the rear seat, which is the most
protected position in the event of a collision.
WARNING
Should it be absolutely necessary to
carry a child on the front seat in a
backwards-facing craddle seat, the
passenger's front and side air bags must be
deactivated through the Setup menu.
Deactivation should be verified by checking
the warning light on the instrument panel.
The passenger seat must also be positioned
back as far as possible in order to avoid
the child seat from coming into contact with
the dashboard.

Main safety rules to be followed when
carrying children:
❒Install the child seats on the rear seat, which is

accident.
❒If the passenger's air bag is deactivated always
check the warning light on the instrument
panel to make sure that it has actually been
deactivated.
❒Carefully follow the instructions supplied with
the child seat which are mandatory by law.
Keep the instructions in the car along with the
other documents and this handbook. Do not use
second-hand child seats without instructions.
❒Always check that the seat belt is well fastened
by pulling on it.❒Only one child is to be strapped into each
retaining system; never carry two children using
one child seat.
❒Always check that the seat belts do not restrain
the child's throat.
❒While travelling, do not let the child sit
incorrectly or release the belts.
❒Never carry children on your lap, even
newborns. No-one can restrain a child in the
event of an accident.

WARNING
SERIOUS DANGER: never place
cradle child seats facing backwards
on the front passenger seat of cars
with active passenger side airbag.
Deployment of the airbag following an
impact could cause fatal injuries to the
child. Always deactivate the passenger side
airbag when placing a child seat on the front
seat. The passenger seat must also be
positioned back as far as possible in order
to avoid the child seat from coming into
contact with the dashboard. Although this is
not mandatory by law, the airbag should
be immediately reactivated when children
are no longer transported to ensure better
protection for adults.
Deactivation of passenger side front airbag
and side bag for chest/pelvis protection (for
versions/markets, where provided)
If a child must be carried on the front seat,
deactivate the front passenger side airbag and side
bags for chest/shoulder protection (for versions/
markets where provided). With the airbags
deactivated, the
warning light switches on in
the instrument panel.
IMPORTANT To deactivate the airbags see the
description in the "Getting to know your car"
chapter, "Menu Options" paragraph.SIDE BAGS (Side bag - Window bag)
Side bag
(for versions/markets, where provided)
These comprise two types of bags located in the
front seat backrests fig. 110 which protect the
chest and shoulder area of the occupants in the
event of a side impact of medium-high severity.

cause the warning light on the instrument panel to
switch on. In this case, stop the car immediately,
switch off the engine for about 20 seconds and
then restart the engine. If the warning light (or, on
some versions, a message and a symbol on the
display) remains on constantly, contact a Lancia

IN AN EMERGENCY
In an emergency we recommend that you call the free-phone number found on the Warranty
Booklet. It is also possible to go to the www.lancia.com website to find the closest Lancia
Dealership.STARTING THE ENGINEGo to a Lancia Dealership immediately if
instrument panel warning light
remains on
constantly.
JUMP STARTING
If the battery is flat, the engine may be started
using an auxiliary battery with the same capacity
or a little higher than the flat one.To start the vehicle, proceed as follows:
❒connect the positive terminals (sign + near the
terminal) of the two batteries with a jump lead
fig. 114;
❒with a second lead, connect the negative
terminal – of the auxiliary battery to an
earthing point
on the engine or the gearbox of
the car to be started;
❒start the engine;
❒when the engine has been started, remove the
leads reversing the order above.
For versions with Start&Stop system, in case of
starting by auxiliary battery, refer to the
paragraph “Start&Stop system” in the chapter
“Getting to know your car”.
If after a few attempts the engine does not start,
do not persist but contact a Lancia Dealership.
IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the negative
terminals of the two batteries: sparks could ignite
explosive gas released from the battery. If the
auxiliary battery is installed on another car,
prevent accidental contact between metallic parts
of the two cars.
