2015 Lancia Ypsilon gas type

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR VERSIONS
EQUIPPED WITH "Smart Fuel"
WARNING
At the end of the filler do not apply
any object/plug which is not provided
for for the car. The use of non compliant
objects/plugs could cause a pressure
increase inside the tank, generating
dangerous situations.
WARNING
Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel filler: fire
risk. Keep your face away from the fuel filler
to prevent breathing in harmful vapours.
IMPORTANT If the filler compartment is washed
with a high pressure jet, keep it at a distance of
at least 20 cm.
PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The following devices are used for reducing petrol
fuel engine emissions: catalytic converter, oxygen
sensors and evaporation control system
Do not let the engine run, even for a test, with one
or more spark plugs disconnected.
The following devices are used for reducing diesel
fuel engine emissions: oxidising catalytic
converter, exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR)
and particulate filter (DPF).
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter,
integral with the exhaust system, that physically
traps particulates present in the exhaust gases
of Diesel engines.
The diesel particulate filter is needed to eliminate
almost all particulates in compliance with
During normal use of the vehicle, the engine
control unit records a set of data (e.g. travel time,
type of route, temperatures, etc.) and it will then
calculate how much particulate has been trapped
by the filter.
Since this filter physically traps particulate, it
should be regenerated (cleaned) at regular
intervals by burning the carbon particles.

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.
