2013 Lancia Ypsilon engine

THE LANCIA CODE SYSTEMTo further protect your car from theft, it has been
fitted with an engine immobilising system. It is
automatically activated when the ignition key
is removed.
Each key contains an electronic device which
modulates the signal emitted during ignition by an
antenna built into the ignition device. The signal
is the "password", different every time the car
is started, through which the control unit
recognises the key and enables starting.OPERATION
Each time the car is started by turning the ignition
key to MAR, the Lancia CODE system control
unit sends an acknowledgement code to the engine
control unit to deactivate the immobilizer. The
code is sent only if the control unit of the Lancia
CODE system has acknowledged the code received
from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to STOP, the
Lancia CODE system deactivates the functions
of the engine management control unit. If, during
starting, the code is not correctly recognised, the
warning light switches on in the instrument
panel. In this case, turn the key to STOP and then
to MAR; if it is still locked, try again with the
other keys that come with the vehicle. Contact a
Lancia Dealership if you still cannot start the
engine.
Warning light
switching on while driving
If the
warning light switches on, this means
that the system is running a self-diagnosis (for
example for a voltage drop). If the problem
persists, contact a Lancia Dealership.

tampered with (e.g. an attempted
theft), have it checked over by a Lancia
Dealership before driving again.

Proceed as follows:
❒turn knob A to the red section;
❒move slider B to
;
❒turn knob C to
;
❒turn knob E to 4 (maximum fan speed).
IMPORTANT The climate control system is very
useful for speeding up demisting since it
dehumidifies the air. Adjust the controls as
described above and press button
to activate the
climate control system (the LED on the button
will light up).ADDITIONAL HEATER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This device speeds up passenger compartment
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
In winter, the climate control system must be
turned on at least once a month for about
10 minutes. Have the system inspected at a
Lancia Dealership before the summer.

SWITCHING ON THE CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM
The system can be switched on in various ways; it
is however advisable to press the AUTO button
and set the desired temperature on the display.
The climate control system allows you to
customise the temperatures requested.
The climate control system compressor works only
with the engine running and with an outside
temperature of above 0°C.
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
OPERATION
Press the AUTO button; the system will
automatically adjust:
❒the amount of air introduced into the passenger
compartment;
❒the distribution of the air in the passenger
compartment;
cancelling all previous manual adjustments.
During climate control system automatic
operation, the word AUTO appears on the display.
During automatic operation it is still possible to
adjust the temperatures set and carry out the
following operations manually:
❒fan speed adjustment
❒air distribution selection
❒internal air recirculation on/off button;
❒climate control compressor activation.
WARNING
It is advisable not to use the internal
air recirculation function when the
outside temperature is low, because the
windows could mist rapidly.
ADJUSTING THE FAN SPEED
Press button
to increase/decrease the fan speed.
The possible speeds are indicated by bars lighting
up on the display:
❒maximum fan speed = all bars lit
❒minimum fan speed = one bar lit.
The fan can be disabled (no bars lit) only if the
climate control compressor has been switched off
by pressing button
.
To restore automatic fan speed control after a
manual adjustment, press the AUTO button.

IMPORTANT Internal air recirculation makes it
possible to reach the required heating or cooling
conditions more quickly depending on the mode
selected. It is not advisable to switch the air
recirculation on when it is rainy/cold to prevent
the windows from misting, especially if the climate
control system has not been activated. It is
advisable to switch the internal air recirculation
on whilst queuing or in tunnels to prevent the
introduction of polluted air. Do not use the
function for a long time, particularly if there are
several passengers on board, to prevent the
windows from misting.
CLIMATE CONTROL COMPRESSOR
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
Press button
to switch on the climate control
compressor.
Compressor activation:
symbol appears on
display.
Compressor deactivation
❒
symbol on display disappears;
❒internal air recirculation excluded;
With the climate control compressor switched off,
air cannot be introduced into the passenger
compartment that has a lower temperature than
the outside air; in this case the
symbol in the
display will flash.
The deactivation of the climate control compressor
is memorised even after the engine has stopped.
To reactivate the climate control compressor, press
button
or AUTO again: if you press AUTO,
the other manual settings will be cancelled.AIR DISTRIBUTION SELECTION
Press one or more of buttons A to manually select
one of the possible air distribution settings for
the passenger compartment:
Air flow to the windscreen and front side
window diffusers to demist/defrost them.Air flow to the footwell diffusers. This air
distribution allows the passenger
compartment to be warmed up quickly.Air flow distribution to centre/side dashboard
diffusers (passenger's body).+
Air flow distributed between footwell
diffusers and windscreen and front side
window defrosting/demisting diffusers.
This distribution setting allows the
passenger compartment to be warmed
effectively and prevents the windows
from misting.
+
Air flow distribution between footwell
diffusers (hotter air) and centre/side
dashboard diffusers (cooler air).
IMPORTANT For the climate control system to
function, at least one of the buttons A must be
operated. The system does not allow the
deactivation of all the buttons A.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
In winter, the climate control system must be
turned on at least once a month for about
10 minutes.
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.
