2015 Lancia Ypsilon engine

“FOLLOW ME HOME” DEVICE
This allows the space in front of the car to be lit
up for a certain period of time.
Activation:with the ignition key on STOP or
removed, pull the stalk towards the steering wheel
within 2 minutes from when the engine is turned
off.
At each single movement of the stalk, the lights
will remain on for an extra 30 seconds up to a
maximum of 210 seconds; then the lights are
switched off automatically.
Each time the stalk is operated, the
warning
light on the instrument panel switches on and the
display also shows a message and how long the
function will remain active.The
warning light switches on when the stalk
is first moved and stays on until the function is
automatically deactivated. Each movement of the
stalk only increases the amount of time the lights
stay on.
Deactivation:keep the stalk pulled towards the
steering wheel for more than two seconds.

WINDOW CLEANING
The right stalk controls windscreen wiper/washer
and heated rear window wiper/washer operation.
WINDSCREEN WASHER/WIPER
They can be operated only with the ignition key
turned to MAR.
The ring nut A fig. 35 can be moved to four
different positions:
windscreen wiper off.
intermittent operation.
continuous slow operation.
continuous fast operation.Move the stalk upwards (unstable position) to
limit operation to the time for which the stalk is
held in this position. When released, the stalk will
return to its default position and the wiper will
be automatically stopped.
With the ring nut A fig. 35 in position
, the
windscreen wiper will automatically adapt
operating speed to the speed of the car.
With the windscreen wipers operational, if reverse
gear is engaged, the rear window wiper is
automatically activated.
Never use the windscreen wipers to
remove layers of snow or ice from the
windscreen. In such conditions, the
windscreen wipers may be subjected to
excessive stress and the motor protection,
which prevents operation for a few seconds,
may intervene. If operation is not restored
(even after using the key to restart the engine),
contact a Lancia Dealership.
Do not operate the windscreen wiper
with the blades lifted from the
windscreen.

Deactivation
Move the stalk ring nut away from the position
or turn the ignition key to STOP.
If the ignition key is turned to the STOP position
leaving the ring nut A in position
, no wiping
cycle is performed at the next startup (ignition key
to the MAR position) even if rain is present. This
prevents unwanted activation of the rain sensor
when the engine is started (i.e. when the
windscreen is being washed by hand or the wipers
are stuck to the windscreen by ice).
To restore automatic operation of the rain sensor,
turn ring nut A from
position toposition
and then turn the ring nut back to the
position.
When the rain sensor is reactivated using any of
the manoeuvres described above, reactivation
is indicated by a single stroke of the windscreen
wipers, regardless of the condition of the
windscreen.If the sensitivity is changed whilst the rain sensor
is operating, a windscreen wiper stroke is carried
out to confirm the change even if the windscreen
is dry.
In the event of malfunction of the rain sensor
whilst it is active, the windscreen wiper operates
intermittently at a speed consistent with the
sensitivity setting of the rain sensor, regardless of
whether there is rain on the glass (on some
versions sensor failure is indicated on the display).
The sensor continues to operate and it is possible
to set the windscreen wiper to continuous mode
(1
stor 2ndspeed). The failure indication remains
for as long as the sensor is active.

Decreasing the stored speed
This can be carried out in two ways:
❒by deactivating the device and then storing the
new speed;
or
❒by moving the stalk downwards (-) until the
new speed, which will be stored automatically, is
reached.
Each movement of the lever corresponds to a
reduction in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping
the stalk held downwards will decrease the speed
continuously.
Deactivating the device
The device can be deactivated by the driver in the
following ways:
❒by turning ring nut A to the OFF position
❒by stopping the engine
❒by pressing the brake pedal, the clutch or the
accelerator; in this last case the system is not
effectively deactivated but gives priority to the
acceleration request. The device still remains
active, without the need to press the RES button
to return to the previous condition once
acceleration is concluded.Automatic deactivation
The device deactivates automatically in the
following cases:
❒if the ABS or ESC systems intervene
❒with the car speed below the set limit
❒in the event of system failure.
WARNING
When travelling with the device
active, never move the gear lever to
neutral.
WARNING
In the event of device faults or
failures, turn knob A to OFF and
contact a Lancia Dealership.

ROOF LIGHT TIMING
On certain versions, to facilitate getting into/out of
the car, especially at night or in poorly-lit areas,
two timed modes have been provided.
Timing when getting into the car
The roof lights switch on according to the
following modes:
❒for about 10 seconds when the doors are
unlocked;
❒for about 3 minutes when one of the doors is
opened;
❒for about 10 seconds when the doors are closed.
The timed period is interrupted when the ignition
key is turned to MAR-ON.
The lights switch off in three ways:
❒when all doors are closed, the 3-minute timer
will stop and a 10-second one will start. This
timer will stop when the key is turned to
MAR-ON;
❒when doors are locked (either with remote
control or with key on driver side door), the roof
light switches off;
❒the courtesy lights are switched off in any case
after 15 minutes to preserve battery chargeTiming when getting out of the car
After removing the key from the ignition switch,
the roof lights switch on as follows:
❒if the ignition key is removed within 3 minutes
from the engine stopping, the roof lights switch
on for 10 seconds;

ECO FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Press the ECO button fig. 47 for at least 5 seconds
to activate the function.
When the ECO function is activated, the car is set
for city driving, characterised by less effort on
the steering wheel (Dualdrive system on) and
reduced fuel consumption.
When this function is activated, the word ECO on
the display will light up on some versions.
This function stays in the memory, so when the
vehicle is started again, the system keeps the
setting it had before the engine was stopped. Press
the ECO button again to deactivate the function
and restore the normal driving setting.FUEL CUT-OFF SYSTEM
This intervenes in the event of an impact causing:
❒the interruption of the fuel supply with the
engine consequently cutting out
❒the automatic unlocking of the doors
❒the automatic switching on of the interior lights
❒the switching on of the hazard warning lights.
On some versions, the intervention of the system is
indicated by a message shown on the display.
IMPORTANT Carefully check the car for fuel
leaks, for instance in the engine compartment,
under the car or near the tank area. After a
collision, turn the ignition key to STOP to prevent
the battery from running down.

Proceed as follows:
❒keep the bonnet raised with one hand and
remove rod C fig. 67 from housing D with the
other, inverting the opening motion, then fit
it back into its catch;
❒lower the bonnet to approximately 20
centimetres from the engine compartment and
let it drop. Make sure that the bonnet is
completely closed and not only fastened by the
safety catch by trying to open it. If it is not
perfectly closed, do not try to press the bonnet
lid down but open it and repeat the procedure.
IMPORTANT Always check that the bonnet is
closed correctly to avoid it opening while the car is
travelling.
WARNING
Perform these operations only when
the car is stationary.

illustrated in the figure and can only be accessed
with the doors open. The Lineaccessori Lancia
includes a dedicated roof rack/ski rack for this
