2012 Lancia Ypsilon lock

WARNING
Do not travel carrying objects in your
lap, in front of your chest or between
your lips (pipe, pencils, etc.). They could
cause severe injury if the airbag is deployed.
WARNING
The expiry dates of the explosive
charge and the clock spring are
shown on a specific label contained in the
glove box. Contact a Lancia Dealership
to have them replaced when the expiry date
approaches.
WARNING
If your car has been subject to theft,
attempted theft, vandalism, or
flooding, contact a Lancia Dealership to
have the airbag system checked.
WARNING
The airbags may also be deployed
when the car is not moving, if the key
is in the ignition and turned to MAR or when
the engine is off, if the car is hit by another
moving vehicle. For this reason, children
must never occupy the front seat, even if the
car is not moving. On the other hand, if
the key is inserted in STOP position, none of
the safety devices (airbags or pretensioners)
will be deployed in the event of impact.
Non-deployment of these devices does not
indicate a system malfunction.
WARNING
When the ignition key is turned to
MAR, the warning light
(with
passenger side front airbag active) switches
on for a few seconds to remind you that
the passenger airbag will be deployed in an
impact, after which it should switch off.
WARNING
The
warning light flashes to
indicate
warning light failure. In
this case, for versions/markets where
provided, the explosive charges of the
passenger airbag are deactivated.

STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition key to STOP while the engine is
idling.
IMPORTANT After a taxing drive, before turning
the engine off you should allow it to idle to allow
the temperature in the engine compartment to fall.
A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely
no practical purpose, it wastes fuel
and is damaging especially to turbocharged
engines.
PARKINGSwitch off the engine and engage the handbrake.
Engage a gear (first gear if parked uphill or
reverse if facing downhill) and leave the wheels
turned. If the car is parked on a steep slope block
the wheels with a wedge or stone. Always remove
the ignition key when leaving the car.
HANDBRAKE
To engage the handbrake pull lever A fig. 112
upwards until the car is secured. To release the
handbrake, raise the lever A slightly, press and
hold the button B and lower the lever.
If the car is parked on a steep slope, it is also
advisable to block the wheels with a wedge or
stone.

The warning light (or symbol on the display)
switches on when the handbrake is engaged. If the
car is moving the buzzer will also sound.
IMPORTANT If the warning light comes on when
the car is in motion, check that the handbrake
is not on.
EBD FAILURE (red)
(amber)
The simultaneous switching on of the
(red),
(amber) andESCwarning lights with the
engine on, indicates either a failure of the EBD
system or that the system is not available. In this
case, the rear wheels may suddenly lock and
the vehicle may swerve when braking sharply.
Drive very carefully to the nearest Lancia
Dealership to have the system inspected
immediately. On some versions the display shows
the dedicated message.
ABS SYSTEM FAILURE (amber)
Turning the key to the MAR position switches on
the warning light, but it should switch off after
a few seconds. The warning light switches on (on
some versions, with a message on the display
and a symbol on the display) when the system is
not efficient. In this case the braking system
maintains its own efficiency unaltered but without
the advantage of the ABS system.
Drive carefully and contact a Lancia Dealership as
soon as possible.AIRBAG FAILURE (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 constantly (on some
versions, with a message on the display and a
symbol on the display) to indicate an airbag
system fault.

HANDBRAKE ENGAGED
When the key is turned to MAR position, the
warning light switches on but should switch off
after a few seconds.

WARNING
If you change the type of wheel (alloy
rims instead of steel rims and vice
versa) you will have to change the entire set
of fastening bolts with another set of suitably
sized bolts.
WARNING
Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning lights, warning
triangle, etc. Any passengers on board
should leave the car, especially if it is
heavily laden. Passengers should stay away
from on-coming traffic while the wheel is
being changed. On hills or uneven roads, use
chocks or appropriate objects to block the
wheels of the car.
WARNING
The car's driving characteristics will
be modified with the space-saver
wheel fitted. Avoid sudden starting or
stopping, sharp or fast turns. The total life of
a space-saver wheel is approximately 3000
km, after which it must be replaced by
another wheel of the same type. Never install
a standard tyre on a rim that is designed
for use with a space-saver wheel. Have the
tyre repaired and refitted as soon as
possible. Using two or more space-saver
wheels at the same time is forbidden. Do not
grease the threads of bolts before fitting
them: they might slip out.

WARNING
The jack provided is only intended to
be used for replacing tyres on the
car with which it is supplied, or on
same-model vehicles. Never use the jack for
other purposes, such as lifting other car
models. Never use it for repair operations
under the car. Incorrectly positioning the
jack may cause the car to fall. Do not use the
jack for loads higher than the one shown
on its label. Never install snow chains on the
space-saver wheel; if a front tyre (driving
wheel) is punctured and you need to use
snow chains, use a standard wheel from the
rear axle and install the space-saver wheel
on the rear axle. In this way, with two
normal drive wheels, it is possible to use
snow chains.
WARNING
Fit the wheel cap correctly to prevent
it from coming free in motion. Never
tamper with the inflating valve. Never
introduce tools of any kind between rim and
tyre. Check tyre and space-saver wheel
pressures regularly, referring to the values
shown in the "Technical specifications"
section.JACK
Important notes:
❒the jack weight is 1,76 kg;
❒the jack requires no adjustment;
❒the jack cannot be repaired and in the event of a
fault it must be replaced by another original
one;
❒no tool other than its cranking device may be
fitted on the jack.
To change a wheel proceed as follows:
❒Stop the car in a position that is not dangerous
for oncoming traffic where you can change the
wheel safely. The ground must be flat and
sufficiently compact;
❒switch off the engine, pull up the handbrake
and engage the 1
stgear or the reverse gear.
Wear the reflective safety jacket (compulsory by
law in certain countries) before getting out of
the car;
❒open the luggage compartment, pull tab A fig.
115 and lift up the mat;
❒using the wrench A fig. 116 located in the tool
box, loosen the locking device, take the tool
box B and place it close to the wheel to be
replaced. Then take the space-saver wheel C;
❒take the wrench A fig. 117 and loosen the fixing
bolts by about one turn. For versions with alloy
rims, shake the car to facilitate detachment of
the rim from the wheel hub.
