2015 Lancia Ypsilon Liquid

If the warning light comes on when driving,
proceed as follows:
❒when driving normally:stop the car, switch
off the engine and check that the water level
in the reservoir is not below the MIN mark. If it
is, wait for a few minutes for the engine to
cool down then slowly and carefully open the
cap, top up with coolant and check that the
level is between the MIN and MAX marks. Also
check visually for any fluid leaks. Go to a
Lancia Dealership if the warning light should
switch on when the engine is started again;
❒if the vehicle is used under demanding
conditions(e.g. towing trailers uphill or fully
loaded): slow down and, if the light stays on,
stop the car. Wait for 2 or 3 minutes with the
engine running and slightly accelerated to
further favour the coolant circulation. Then stop
the engine. Check the correct liquid level as
described above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is
advisable to keep the engine on and slightly
accelerated for a few minutes before switching it
off.FUEL RESERVE – LIMITED
RANGE (amber)
This warning light comes on when about 5 to 7
litres of fuel are left in the tank. When the
remaining range is approx. 50 km (or equivalent
value in miles), on some versions, the display
will show a warning message.
IMPORTANT The warning light will flash to
indicate a system failure. Go to a Lancia
Dealership to have the system checked.
EOBD/INJECTION SYSTEM
FAILURE (amber)
In normal conditions, the warning light switches
on when the key is turned to MAR (on some
versions, with a message on the display), but
should switch off as soon as the engine is started.
If the warning light remains on or switches on
whilst driving, the injection system is not working
properly; in particular, if the warning light
switches on constantly, this indicates a
malfunction in the supply/ignition system that
could cause excessive exhaust emissions, a possible
loss of performance, poor driveability and high
fuel consumption.

SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is essential in guaranteeing a long
life for the car under the best conditions.
For this reason, Lancia has planned a series of
checks and services at fixed distance intervals and,
for versions/markets, where provided, at fixed
time intervals, as described in the Scheduled
Servicing Plan.
Regardless of the above, it is always necessary to
carefully follow the instructions in the Scheduled
Servicing Plan (e.g. periodically check level of
liquids, tyre pressure, etc.).
Scheduled Servicing is offered by all Lancia
Dealerships according to fixed time or kilometres/
miles intervals. If, during each operation, in
addition to the ones scheduled, the need arises for
further replacements or repairs, these may be
carried out only with your explicit agreement. If
your car is used frequently for towing, the interval
between one service operation and the next should
be reduced.WARNING
The Scheduled Servicing intervals are set out by the
Manufacturer. Failure to comply with the schedule
may invalidate the warranty.
It is advisable to inform a Lancia Dealership of any
small operating irregularities without waiting for
the next service.
For versions equipped with specific fuel supply
and/or trim level (e.g. LPG, Natural Power,
automatic transmission), in addition to what is
described in the following Scheduled Servicing Plan,
refer to the relevant additional items in the
dedicated supplements.

ENGINE COOLANT
The coolant level must be checked when the
engine is cold and must be between the MIN and
MAX marks on the reservoir.
If the level is too low, undo reservoir cap C (see
previous pages) and add the fluid described in the
chapter "Technical Specifications".
PARAFLUUPanti-freeze is used in the
engine cooling system. Use the same
fluid as in the cooling system when
topping up. PARAFLU
UPmay not be mixed
with any other types of fluids. If this occurs,
do not start the engine and contact your
Lancia Dealership immediately.
WARNING
The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only replace the cap with
another genuine one or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do not
remove the reservoir cap when the engine is
hot: you risk scalding yourself.WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW WASHING
FLUID
If the level is too low, raise reservoir cap D (see
previous pages) and add the fluid described in the
chapter "Technical Specifications".
WARNING
Do not travel if the windscreen
washer reservoir is empty: using the
windscreen washer is essential for
improving visibility. Some commercial
windscreen washer additives are flammable.
The engine compartment contains hot
components which may set it on fire.

BRAKE FLUID
Check that the liquid is at the maximum level (the
fluid level in the reservoir must not exceed the
MAX mark). If the fluid level in the tank is too
low, undo reservoir cap E (see previous pages) and
add the fluid described in the chapter "Technical
Specifications".
NoteCarefully clean the cap of the reservoir E
and the surrounding surface.
When opening the cap, make sure that no dirt gets
into the reservoir.
For topping-up, always use a funnel with
integrated filter with mesh equal to or lower than
0.12 mm.

LEATHER SEATS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Remove the dry dirt with a buckskin or slightly
damp cloth, without exercising too much pressure.
Remove any liquid or grease stains using an
absorbent dry cloth, without rubbing. Then clean
with a soft cloth or buckskin cloth dampened
with water and neutral soap. If the stain persists,
use specific products and observe the instructions
carefully.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol. Make sure that
the cleaning products used contain no alcohol
or alcohol derivatives, even in small quantities.LEATHER PARTS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Use only water and neutral soap to clean these
parts. Never use alcohol or alcohol-based
products. Before using a specific product for
cleaning interiors, make sure that it does
not contain alcohol and/or alcohol based
substances.
