2013 Lancia Ypsilon service

Never use a fast battery-charger to start
the engine as this could damage the
electronic systems of your car,
particularly the ignition and fuel supply
control units.
WARNING
This procedure must be performed by
expert personnel because incorrect
actions could cause electrical discharge of
considerable intensity. Furthermore, battery
fluid is poisonous and corrosive: avoid
contact with skin and eyes. Keep naked
flames and lighted cigarettes away from the
battery and do not cause sparks.
BUMP STARTING
Never jump start the engine by pushing, towing or
coasting downhill.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake servo and
electrical power steering system are not active
until the engine is started. A much greater effort
will therefore be required to use the brake pedal or
turn the steering wheel.
REPLACING A WHEELGENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The car is equipped with the “Fix&Go Automatic
Kit”: see the paragraph “Fix&Go Automatic
Kit” for how to use this device.
As an alternative to the “Fix&Go Automatic Kit”
the car may be equipped with a space-saver
wheel: see the instructions on the following pages
for changing the tyre.
WARNING
The space-saver wheel (for versions/
markets where provided) is specific
to your car, do not use it on other models, or
use the space-saver wheel of other models
on your car. The space-saver wheel must
only be used in case of emergency. It must
only be used for the distance necessary
to reach a service point and the car speed
must not exceed 80 km/h. The space-saver
wheel has an orange sticker that summarises
the main cautions for use and limitations.
Never remove or cover the label. The
following information is provided in four
languages on the label: "Important! For
temporary use only! 80 km/h max! Replace
with a standard tyre as soon as possible.
Never cover this indication." Never apply a
hub cap on a space-saver wheel.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICINGCorrect servicing is essential in guaranteeing a
long life for the car under the best conditions.
Lancia has prepared a series of checks and service
operations to be carried out every 30,000
kilometres (for petrol versions) or every 35,000
kilometres (for diesel versions).
Check the items on the Scheduled Servicing Plan
(e.g. periodically check level of liquids, tyre
pressure, etc.) before 30,000/35,000 km and
between these services deadlines.
Scheduled Services are offered by all Lancia
Dealerships according to a set time schedule. If,
during each operation, in addition to the ones
scheduled, the need arises for further
replacements or repairs, these may be carried out
only with the explicit agreement of the Customer.
If your car is used frequently for towing, the
interval between one service operation and the
next should be reduced.WARNING
At 2000 km from the next service operation the
display will show a message.
The Scheduled Services are set out by the
Manufacturer. Failure to have them carried out
may invalidate the warranty.
It is advisable to inform the Lancia Dealership of
any small operating irregularities without waiting
for the next service.

PRESCRIPTIONS FOR HANDLING THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF ITS LIFELancia has been committed for many years to safeguarding the environment through the constant
improvement of its production processes and manufacturing products that are increasingly "eco-
compatible". To assure customers of the best possible service in terms of respecting environmental laws
and in response to European Directive 2000/53/EC governing vehicles at the end of their life, Lancia
is offering their customers the opportunity of handing over their vehicle (*) at the end of its life without
incurring any additional costs.
The European Directive sets out that when the vehicle is handed over the last keeper or owner should
not incur any expenses as a result of it having a zero or negative market value. In all European Union
countries, until 1st January 2007, only vehicles registered after 1st July 2002 were collected free of
charge, while since 2007 collection has been free of charge irrespective of the year of registration as long
as the vehicle contains its basic components (in particular, the engine and bodywork) and has no
additional waste.
To hand your vehicle over at the end of its life without extra cost, go to one of our Lancia dealerships or
authorised collection and scrapping centres. These centres have been carefully chosen to offer high
quality service for the collection, treatment and recycling of unused vehicles with respect to the
environment.
You can find further information on these collection and scrapping centres either from a Lancia
Dealership or by calling the freephone number 00800 526242 00 or on the Lancia website.
(*) Vehicle for transporting passengers with a maximum of nine seats and a total permitted weight of
