2014 Lancia Ypsilon wheel size

Activation/deactivation of the ASR system
The ASR system activates automatically each time
the engine is started.
Whilst driving, the ASR can be deactivated and
subsequently activated again by pressing the ASR
OFF button fig. 70.
On some versions, the intervention of the system is
indicated by a message shown on the display.
When the system is not active, the LED on the
button ASR OFF turns on and, on some versions,
a message appears on the display.
When the ASR is deactivated whilst driving, the
next time the car is started the ASR is
automatically activated.
When travelling on snowy roads with snow chains,
it may be helpful to turn the ASR off: in fact, in
these conditions, slipping of the drive wheels when
moving off makes it possible to obtain better
traction.
WARNING
For the ESC and ASR systems to
function correctly, all four tyres must,
above all, be the type, brand and size
prescribed, of the same brand and type, and
must be in excellent condition.
WARNING
The ESC functions even when the
space-saver wheel is being used.
Always remember that the space-saver
wheel, being smaller than the original
wheel, provides less grip.
WARNING
Do not take unnecessary risks, even if
your vehicle is fitted with the ESC
and ASR systems. Your driving style must
always be suited to the road conditions,
visibility and traffic. The driver is always
responsible for road safety.

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.

All four tyres should be the same (brand and
track) to ensure greater safety when driving and
braking and better driveability. Remember that
you should not change the rotation direction of the
tyres.
WARNING
The maximum speed for snow tyres
marked “Q” is 160 km/h, while it
is 190 km/h for “T” tyres and 210 km/h for
"H" tyres. The highway code speed limits
must however always be complied with.

SNOW TYRESUse snow tyres of the same size as the normal
tyres provided with the car.
A Lancia Dealership will be happy to provide
advice concerning the most suitable type of tyre
for the customer's requirements.
For the type of tyre to be used, inflation pressures
and the specifications of snow tyres, follow the
instructions given in paragraph "Wheels" in
section "Technical specifications".
The winter performance of these tyres is
considerably reduced when the tread thickness is
less than 4 mm. Replace them in this case.
Due to their specific features, the performance of
snow tyres is much lower than that of normal
types in normal conditions or long motorway
stretches. Their usage should therefore be
restricted in accordance with their type approval.
IMPORTANT When using snow tyres with a
maximum speed index below the one that can be
reached by the car (increased by 5%), place a
notice in the passenger compartment, plainly in
view, which states the maximum speed allowed by
the snow tyres (as per EC Directive).

WARNING
If you change the type of wheel (alloy
rims instead of steel rims and vice
versa) you will have to change the entire set
of fastening bolts with another set of suitably
sized bolts.
WARNING
Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning lights, warning
triangle, etc. Any passengers on board
should leave the car, especially if it is
heavily laden. Passengers should stay away
from on-coming traffic while the wheel is
being changed. On hills or uneven roads, use
chocks or appropriate objects to block the
wheels of the car.
WARNING
The car's driving characteristics will
be modified with the space-saver
wheel fitted. Avoid sudden starting or
stopping, sharp or fast turns. The total life of
a space-saver wheel is approximately 3000
km, after which it must be replaced by
another wheel of the same type. Never install
a standard tyre on a rim that is designed
for use with a space-saver wheel. Have the
tyre repaired and refitted as soon as
possible. Using two or more space-saver
wheels at the same time is forbidden. Do not
grease the threads of bolts before fitting
them: they might slip out.
