2013 Lancia Ypsilon ESP

BRAKE ASSIST
The system, which cannot be turned off,
recognises emergency braking (on the basis of the
brake pedal operating speed) and speeding up
the response of the braking system. The Brake
Assist device is deactivated if there is a ESC
system failure.
MSR SYSTEM
(Motor Schleppmoment Regelung)
This system is an integral part of the ABS, that
intervenes, if there is sudden downshifting,
restoring torque to the engine, thereby preventing
excessive drive at the drive wheels which,
especially in poor grip conditions, could lead to a
loss in stability of the car.
START&STOP SYSTEMINTRODUCTION
The Start&Stop system automatically stops the
engine each time the car is stationary and starts it
again when the driver wants to move off. In this
way, the car efficiency is increased, by reducing
consumption, dangerous gas emissions and noise
pollution.
OPERATING MODES
Engine stopping mode
With the car stopped, the engine stops with
gearbox in neutral and clutch pedal released.
NoteThe engine can only be stopped
automatically after driving at a speed of more
than about 10 km/h, to prevent the engine from
being repeatedly stopped when driving at walking
pace.
The
symbol appears on the display when the
engine stops.
Restarting the engine
Press the clutch pedal to restart the engine.

ENGINE STOPPING FAILURE CONDITIONS
When the system is active, due to comfort,
emission control and safety reasons, the engine
does not stop in some conditions, among which:
❒engine still cold;
❒especially cold outside temperature;
❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒particulate filter regeneration (DPF) in progress
(diesel engines only);
❒driver's door not shut;
❒driver's seat belt not fastened;
❒reverse gear engaged (for example, for parking
manoeuvres);
❒for versions equipped with automatic climate
control (for versions/markets, where provided),
if an adequate level of thermal comfort has
not been reached or with MAX-DEF activation;
❒during the first period of use, to initialise the
system.
If climate comfort is to be favoured, the
Start&Stop system can be disabled,
for a continuous operation of the
climate control system.

❒the signals sent by the sensor can also be altered
by the presence of ultrasonic systems (e.g.
pneumatic brake systems of trucks or
pneumatic drills) near the vehicle;
❒parking assistance system performance can also
be influenced by the position of the sensors, for
example due to a change in the ride setting
(caused by wear to the shock absorbers,
suspension), or by changing tyres, overloading
the car or carrying out specific tuning
operations that require the car to be lowered.
WARNING
The driver is always responsible for
parking manoeuvres however. When
making these manoeuvres, always make sure
that no people (especially children) or
animals are present in your manoeuvring
area. The parking sensors are an aid for the
driver, but must never allow their attention
to lapse during potentially dangerous
manoeuvres, even those executed at low
speeds.

GENERAL WARNINGS
❒When parking, take the utmost care over
obstacles that may be above or under the
sensors.
❒Objects close to the car, are not detected under
certain circumstances and could therefore cause
damage to the car or be damaged.
The following conditions may influence the
performance of the parking sensor system:
❒reduced sensor sensitivity and a reduction in the
parking assistance system performance could be
due to the presence on the surface of the sensor
of: ice, snow, mud, thick paint;
❒the sensor may detect a non-existent obstacle
(echo interference) due to mechanical
interference, for example when washing the car,
in rain (strong wind), hail;

WARNING
The parking sensors serve to assist
the driver. The driver must never
allow his or her attention to lapse during
potentially dangerous manoeuvres, even
those executed at low speeds. The Magic
Parking system does NOT in any way adjust
the speed of the car during the manoeuvre:
the control of the acceleration speed and
braking remain the responsibility of the
driver.

MAGIC PARKING(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Magic Parking system notifies the driver of a
free parallel parking space that is a suitable length
for the car; it helps the driver when manoeuvring
by automatically managing the movement of
the steering wheel.
During the manoeuvre the driver is also assisted
by information from the parking sensors (4 front
and 4 rear) which provide further distance
information when approaching obstacles in front
of and behind the car.
When looking for a parking space the front and
rear sensors are not activated (only the side
sensors are activated), during the manoeuvre, the
front and rear sensors will be automatically
activated when reverse gear is engaged.
WARNING
The ultimate responsibility when
parking is always the drivers. During
the entire manoeuvre it is always necessary
to make sure that there are no people or
animals in the space.

GENERAL WARNINGS
❒The ultimate responsibility when parking is
always the drivers. During these manoeuvres,
always make sure that no people, animals
or objects are within the manoeuvring area. The
Magic Parking system (like parking sensors) is
designed to assist drivers: in all cases, you
must always pay the utmost attention during
potentially dangerous manoeuvres, even when
these are carried out a low speed:
❒If the sensors undergo shocks influencing their
position, the system operation could be strongly
degraded.
❒If the sensors are dirty, covered by snow, ice or
mud or are repainted compared to the original
conditions, the system operation could be
strongly degraded. It is vital that the sensors are
always clean in order for the system to work
properly. During cleaning make sure not to
scratch or damage them; avoid using dry or
rough cloths. The sensors should be washed
using clean water with the addition of car
shampoo if necessary. In washing stations, clean
the sensors quickly, keeping the steam jet/high
pressure washing nozzles at least 10 cm away
from the sensors.
❒Ultrasonic sound sources (e.g. pneumatic brakes
of trucks or air drills) nearby could negatively
influence the sensor performance.❒Sensors may detect a non-existent obstacle
(echo noise) due to mechanical noises, for
example while washing the car, in the case of
rain, strong wind, hail.
❒The sensors might not detect objects of a
particular shape or made from particular
materials (very thin poles, trailer beams, panels,
nets, bushes, parking deterrents, rubbish bins,
motor vehicles, etc.). Always take great care
to check that the car and its path are actually
compatible with the parking area identified
by the system.
❒The use of (one or more) tyres or wheels of a
different size to those at the time the car was
purchased could affect the operation of the
system.
❒If the battery is disconnected or is nearly flat,
the Magic Parking system will not be available
until the vehicle is driven for a few hundred
metres on a curved path to initialise the system.
❒If a trailer is fitted (with the plug correctly
inserted) the Magic Parking system will
automatically be disabled.
❒If the Magic Parking system is in "search in
progress" mode, the system could incorrectly
identify a parking space and carry out the
manoeuvre (e.g. by a junction, carriage track,
roads crossing the direction of travel, etc.)
❒In the case of parking manoeuvres on roads on a
gradient, the performance of the system could
be inferior and it may deactivate.

When reverse gear is released, the front and rear
sensors remain activated until a speed of around
15 km/h is exceeded to allow the parking
manoeuvre to be completed.
The sensors are deactivated by pressing the PARK
button again or when a speed of 15 km/h is
exceeded: the LED in the button is off when the
system is not active.
When the sensors are activated, the system starts
to produce acoustic signals from the front or
rear buzzers as soon as an obstacle is detected
with the frequency increasing as the obstacle gets
closer. When the obstacle is less than about 30
cm away, the sound becomes continuous.
Depending on the position of the obstacle (front or
rear) the sound is produced by the corresponding
buzzers (front or rear). The obstacle closest to
the car is signalled.
The acoustic signal stops immediately if the
distance of the obstacle increases. The sound cycle
remains constant if the distance measured by the
centre sensors remains unchanged, while if this
situation occurs for the side sensors, the signal is
interrupted after about 3 seconds (for example, to
prevent signals in the case of manoeuvres
alongside walls).
WARNING
Parking manoeuvres are always the
driver’s responsibility. When making
these manoeuvres, always make sure that no
people (especially children) or animals are
present in your manoeuvring space. The
parking sensors serve to assist the driver.
The driver must never allow his or her
attention to lapse during potentially
dangerous manoeuvres, even those executed
at low speeds.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE
SEAT BELTS
The driver is responsible for respecting, and
ensuring that all the other occupants of the car
also respect, the local laws in force in relation to
the use of the seat belts. Always fasten the seat
belts before starting.
Seat belts must also be worn by expectant
mothers: the risk of injury in the event of an
accident is greatly reduced for them and
the unborn child if they are wearing a seat belt.
Pregnant women must position the lower part
of the belt very low down so that it passes over the
pelvis and under the abdomen (see fig. 98).
WARNING
For maximum safety, keep the back
of your seat upright, lean back into it
and make sure the seat belt fits closely
across your chest and pelvis. Always fasten
the seat belts on both the front and the rear
seats! Travelling without wearing seat belts
will increase the risk of serious injury and
even death in the event of an accident.
WARNING
Removing or otherwise tampering
with safety belt and pretensioner
components is strictly prohibited. Any
operations on these components must be
performed by qualified and authorised
technicians. Always go to a Lancia
Dealership.

GROUP 2
Children from 15 to 25 kg may use the car seat
belts directly fig. 103.
The child seat is now needed only to position the
child correctly with respect to the belts so that the
diagonal section crosses the child's chest and
never the neck, and the lower part is snug on the
pelvis not the abdomen.
GROUP 3
For children from 22 kg up to 36 kg suitable
risers are available to position the seat belt
correctly.
Thefig. 104 shows an example of correct child seat
positioning on the rear seat.
Children over 1.50 m in height can wear seat belts
like adults.
WARNING
The figures are only examples for
fitting purposes. Install the car seat
according to the instructions, which are
mandatorily included with this type of
restraint system.
