2013 Lancia Ypsilon wheel

When the CITY function is on, the steering wheel
effort is lighter, parking operations are easier:
therefore this function is particularly useful for
driving in city centres.
WARNING
It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device) that could badly affect performance
and safety, invalidate warranty and also
result in non-compliance of the car with
type approval requirements.
IMPORTANT During parking manoeuvres
requiring a lot of steering, the steering may
become harder; this is normal and is due to the
intervention of the system to protect the electric
steering motor from overheating, so no
intervention is required. When the car is used
again later on, the power steering will work
normally.
WARNING
Before starting any servicing
operation, stop the engine and
remove the key from the ignition switch to
operate the steering lock, particularly when
the wheels do not touch the ground. If this
is not possible (for example if the key needs
to be turned to MAR-ON or the engine must
be running), remove the main fuse that
protects the electric power steering.

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.

IMPORTANT The SEARCHING is disabled if,
after about 10 minutes, a suitable parking space
has not been found.
❒Identification:if the system identifies a free
parking space that is a suitable size for the
car, it signals its presence and indicates
the actions required for starting the manoeuvre.
❒Manoeuvre:the driver is asked to engage
reverse gear, release the steering wheel and
manage the accelerator, brake and clutch (in the
case of manual gearbox) or accelerator and
brake (in the case of automatic gearbox) (for
versions/markets, where provided). During the
reverse parking manoeuvre, the system manages
the steering wheel automatically. According to
the parking space, the manoeuvre may end
through reversing or further manoeuvres may be
necessary in both in forward and reverse gears.
After the first manoeuvre, when the rear buzzer
sounds continuously, the driver is requested to
disengage reverse and engage the forward
gear. If this is not enough, when the continuous
tone is reached, the driver is requested to engage
reverse. The semi-automatic manoeuvre ends
when the display shows the message "End
manually".
❒Conclusion:at the end of the manoeuvre, the
driver resumes control and, if necessary, has to
complete parking manually.
IMPORTANT MANOEUVRING is disabled if,
after 3 minutes, parking has not been completed.IMPORTANT Steering will be realigned after
reversing when reverse gear is disengaged. The
driver must complete the manoeuvre manually.
The Magic Parking operation is based
on various components: front and
rear parking sensors, side sensors,
steering system, wheels and braking system,
instrument panel. Bear in mind that
malfunction of one of these components could
compromise the operation of the system.
DESCRIPTION OF MANOEUVRING STAGES
Activation
The system is activated by pressing button
:as
soon as it is activated, the system starts searching
(the switching on of the LED on the button
indicates that the system is active).
Since the system recognises parking spaces even
when it is deactivated, the system can be activated
straight away after having driven past an
adjacent parking space that is deemed suitable.
If the system has identified a parking space,
searching will not be performed and the system
will notify the driver of the operations required to
carry out the manoeuvre correctly through the
instrument panel display.

The car can be stopped during the manoeuvre
and, whilst remaining stationary, reverse gear can
temporarily be released (for example, to allow a
pedestrian to pass through the area of the
manoeuvre).
The speed should be less than about 7 km/h
during the manoeuvre, otherwise the parking
manoeuvre will be interrupted.
If the driver carries out a voluntary or involuntary
action on the steering during the parking
manoeuvre (touching it or preventing its
movement), the manoeuvre will be interrupted.
If the road surface is very uneven or there are
obstacles under the wheels affecting the movement
of the car, preventing it from continuing along
the correct trajectory, the manoeuvre may be
interrupted.End of manoeuvre
If the size of parking space permits, the parking
manoeuvre may be performed in one manoeuvre.
When the reverse gear is disengaged the wheels
will be realigned and the manoeuvre will be
considered completed (the system will
consequently be deactivated).
If the size of the parking space is smaller, it may
take several manoeuvres: the driver will be
advised to complete the parking manoeuvre
manually via a dedicated message in the
instrument panel display.
WARNING
If you wish to stop the steering wheel
with your hands during a manoeuvre,
it is advisable to handle it firmly on the
outer rim. Do not try and keep your hands
on the inside or hold the spokes.

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.

❒If a parking manoeuvre is being carried out
between two parked vehicles alongside the
pavement, the Magic Parking system may cause
the car to mount the pavement.
❒Some manoeuvres at very tight bends may not
be carried out.
❒Take great care to ensure that conditions do not
change during the parking manoeuvre (e.g. if
there are persons and/or animals in the parking
area, moving cars, etc.) and intervene
immediately if necessary.
❒During parking manoeuvres, pay attention to
cars approaching from the opposite direction.
Always follow the Highway Code.
IMPORTANT Correct system operation is not
guaranteed if snow chains or emergency wheels
are fitted.
IMPORTANT The correct positioning of the car
inside the parking space detected by the system
depends on various factors, in particular the
circumference of the wheels. For example,
if wheels with a 14" diameter are fitted, the
position of the car inside the parking area could
be slightly different.MESSAGES ON THE DISPLAY
Search in progress:the Magic Parking system is
searching for a suitable parking space.
Parking found:the Magic Parking system has
found a suitable parking space.
Drive forward:the Magic Parking system
requests the driver to proceed slowly to bring the
car to the correct position before starting the
semi-automatic manoeuvre or, during the
semi-automatic manoeuvre, the system requests
the driver to engage the forward gear to continue
the manoeuvre.
Engaging reverse:a suitable parking place has
been found and the position is correct for starting
the parking manoeuvre. Stop and engage reverse.
Disengage reverse:when the Magic Parking
activation button is pressed, reverse gear must be
released for the system to be switched on.
Magic Parking: steering wheel being usedThe
manoeuvre is about to begin, the driver is
requested to release the steering wheel.
Drive backwards - Magic Parking: steering
wheel being used:The manoeuvre has started,
the driver can accelerate and release the clutch (in
the case of a manual gearbox) to enter the parking
space. The system manages the steering
automatically.
