2015 Lancia Ypsilon headlights

WARNING
Never exceed the maximum permitted
loads (see chapter "Technical
specifications").
WARNING
Evenly distribute the load and take
into account, when driving, the
increased effect of side wind on the car.
Fully comply with the regulations in
force concerning maximum clearance.
HEADLIGHTS
LIGHT BEAM DIRECTION
The correct alignment of the headlights is
important for the comfort and safety of not only
the driver but all other road users. This is also
covered by a specific rule of the highway code.
The headlights must be correctly aimed to
guarantee the best visibility conditions for all
drivers while travelling with headlights on.
Contact a Lancia Dealership to have the
headlights properly adjusted.
Check beam alignment every time the load or its
distribution changes.
IMPORTANT When the gas discharge (Xenon)
headlamps (for versions/markets, where provided)
are switched on, normally parabolas and light
beam move vertically for about 2 seconds until
headlamp alignment has stabilised.

MAR position and the dipped headlights on.
Headlight alignment adjustment
Press the
orbuttons to adjust fig. 69. The
instrument panel display shows the position in
relation to the adjustment set.
Position 0 - one or two persons on the front seats
Position1-4persons
Position2-4persons + load in the luggage
compartment
Position 3 - driver + maximum admissible load all
stored in the luggage compartment.
IMPORTANT Check alignment every time the
load carried changes.IMPORTANT If the car is equipped with (Xenon)
gas discharge headlights, the headlight alignment
is controlled electronically, as a consequence the
andbuttons are not present.
FOG LIGHT ALIGNMENT
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Contact a Lancia Dealership to have the
headlights properly adjusted.
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS WHEN
ABROAD
Dipped headlights are adjusted to drive in the
country where the vehicle was originally
purchased. When travelling in countries with
opposite driving direction, to avoid dazzling the
drivers on the other side of the road, you need
to cover areas of the headlight according to the
Highway code of the country you are travelling in.

Electrical devices
Only use electrical devices for the amount of time
needed. The heated rear window, additional
headlights, windscreen wipers and heater fan need
a considerable amount of energy, therefore
increasing fuel consumption (by up to 25% in the
urban cycle).
Climate control system
The use of the climate control system leads to
higher fuel consumption. If the temperature
outside permits, try to use ventilation only.
Devices for aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified devices for aerodynamic
control may adversely affect air drag and fuel
consumption.
DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine with the car at a
standstill or at idle or high speed: under these
conditions the engine warms up much more
slowly, increasing consumption and emissions. It is
therefore advisable to move off immediately,
slowly, avoiding high speeds: in this way
the engine will warm up more quickly.

SAVING FUEL
Here are some suggestions which can help you to
save fuel and lower harmful emissions.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in
accordance with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressure at least once every 4
weeks: if the pressure is too low, consumption
levels increase as resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight
of the car and its arrangement greatly affect fuel
consumption and stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof
after use. These accessories lower aerodynamic
penetration and adversely affect consumption
levels. When transporting particularly large
objects, use a trailer if possible.

Due to the high supply voltage, Xenon
gas-discharge bulbs (for versions/
markets, where provided) must only be
replaced by a specialist technician: danger of
death! Contact a Lancia Dealership.IMPORTANT When the weather is cold or damp
or after heavy rain or washing, the surface of
headlights or rear lights, may steam up and/or
form drops of condensation on the inside. This is a
natural phenomenon due to the difference in
temperature and humidity between the inside and
the outside of the glass which does not indicate a
fault and does not compromise the normal
operation of lighting devices. The mist disappears
quickly when the lights are turned on, starting
from the centre of the diffuser, extending
progressively towards the edges.
