2015 Lancia Ypsilon window

STORING THE CAR
If the car is to be left inactive for longer than a
month, the following precautions should be
observed:
❒park the car in covered, dry and if possible
well-ventilated premises and slightly open
the windows;
❒engage a gear and check that the handbrake is
not engaged;
❒disconnect the negative battery terminal (for
versions with Start&Stop system refer to the
paragraph "Start&Stop system" in the chapter
"Knowing your car"); If the battery is not
disconnected the from the electrical system,
check its charge every thirty days;
❒clean and protect the painted parts using
protective wax;
❒clean and protect the shiny metal parts using
special compounds available commercially;
❒sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber
windscreen and rear window wiper blades and
lift them off the glass;
❒cover the car with a cloth or perforated plastic
sheet. Do not use sheets of non-perforated
plastic as they do not allow moisture on the car
body to evaporate;
❒inflate tyres to +0.5 bar above the standard
specified pressure and check it at intervals;
❒do not drain the engine cooling system.

SNOW CHAINS
The use of snow chains should be in compliance
with local regulations.
The snow chains may be applied only onto the
front wheel tyres (drive wheels).
Check the tension of the snow chains after the first
few metres have been driven.
IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be fitted to the
space-saver wheel (for versions/markets, where
provided). If the front tyre has a puncture, replace
a rear wheel with the sapce-saver wheel and
move the rear wheel to the front axle. This way
with two normal drive wheels, snow chains can be
fitted to them to solve an emergency.
Keep your speed down when snow
chains are fitted; do not exceed 50
km/h. Avoid potholes, steps and
pavements and avoid driving for long
distances on roads not covered with snow to
prevent damaging the car and the roadbed.

FUSE LOCATION
Engine compartment fuse box
This is located by the side of the battery fig. 154:
to access the fuses, proceed as follows:
❒move the cover A fig. 152 aside;
❒undo screw A fig. 153, release tabs B and
remove cover C by pulling upwards.The number identifying the electrical component
corresponding to each fuse is shown on the cover.
After replacing the fuse, make sure that you
have closed cover C correctly on the fuse box.
If you need to wash the engine
compartment, take care not to directly
hit the fuse box and the window wiper
motors with the water jet.

CHECKING FLUID LEVELS
WARNING
Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: gas and
inflammable vapours may be present, with the
risk of fire.
WARNING
Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine
is hot: you may get burned. Remember that
the fan may start up if the engine is hot: this
could injure you. Scarves, ties and other loose
clothing might be pulled by moving parts.
Be careful, when topping up, and take
care not to mix up the various types
of fluids: they are all incompatible with
one another and could seriously damage the
car.
