2012 Lancia Ypsilon battery

VERY IMPORTANTREFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded
petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than
95 in compliance with the European Standard
EN228.
The use of petrol that does not conform to the
above-mentioned specification will cause the
EOBD warning light to come on and the
irregular operation of the engine.
Diesel engines: refuel only with diesel fuel
conforming to the European specification
EN590. The use of other products or mixtures
may damage the engine beyond repair and
consequently invalidate the warranty.
STARTING THE ENGINEMake sure that the handbrake is engaged;
place the gear lever in neutral. Fully depress
the clutch pedal, without pressing the
accelerator, then turn the ignition key to the
MAR position and wait for the
and
warning lights to switch off (diesel
versions); turn the ignition key to the AVV
position and release it as soon as the engine
starts.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high
temperatures during operation. Do not park
the car on grass, dry leaves, pine needles
or other flammable material: fire hazard.RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The car is fitted with a system that allows
continuous diagnosis of the components
related to emissions to ensure increased respect
for the environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIESIf, after buying the car, you decide to add
electrical accessories (with the risk of
gradually draining the battery), contact a
Lancia Dealership. They can calculate the
overall electrical requirement and check that
the car's electric system can support the
required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICINGCorrect maintenance of the car is essential for
ensuring that it maintains its performance
and its safety features, its environmental
friendliness and low running costs for a long
time to come.
THE OWNER MANUAL CONTAINS…... important information, advice and warnings
for correct use, driving safety and maintenance
of your car over time. Special attention must
be paid to the symbols provided
(safety
of persons)
(environmental protection)
(car integrity).

warming when it is very cold. The additional
heater turns off automatically after reaching the
required comfort conditions.
The heater activates automatically when knob A is
turned to the last red section and the fan is
activated (knob E turned to at least 1
stspeed).
The heater only works if the outside temperature
and engine coolant temperature are low. The
heater will not activate if the battery voltage is too
low.SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

Before summer, have the system checked at a
Lancia Dealership.
The system uses R134a refrigerant
fluid which does not pollute the
environment in the event of accidental
leakage. Never use R12 fluid, which is not
compatible with the system components.ADDITIONAL HEATER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This allows the passenger compartment to be
heated more quickly in cold weather conditions.
The heater switches on automatically according to
the environmental conditions and with engine
started when the temperature of the engine
coolant is low.
The heater switches off automatically when the
required comfort conditions are achieved.
The heater only operates if the outside
temperature and engine coolant temperature are
low. The heater will not activate if the battery
voltage is too low.
START&STOP
Automatic Climate Control
The automatic climate control manages the
Start&Stop function (engine off when the car
speed is zero) to guarantee adequate comfort
inside the passenger compartment.
In particular, when the weather is extremely hot,
the Start&Stop function is deactivated until
adequate passenger compartment comfort is
ensured. During these transitory stages the engine
is not stopped, even if the car speed is zero.
