2015 Lancia Ypsilon power steering

DISPLAY
The car may be provided with a multifunction/
reconfigurable multifunction display that shows
useful information, according to the previous
settings, when driving.
With the ignition key removed, the display
activates and shows the time and total milometer
reading (in km or miles) for a few seconds when
a door is opened/closed.
NOTE With a low outside temperature (below
0°C) it may take longer than normal for
information to appear on the display.MULTIFUNCTION DISPLAY "STANDARD"

EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnosis) carries out a continuous diagnosis of
the components of the car related to emissions. It
also alerts the driver about component
deterioration by switching on the warning light on
the instrument panel and the displaying of a
relevant message (for versions/markets, where
provided) (see the chapter “Warning lights and
messages”).
The aim of the EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnosis) is to:
❒monitor the system efficiency;
❒indicate an increase in emissions;
❒indicate the need to replace damaged
components.
The system also has a diagnosis connector that
can be interfaced to suitable instruments, to read
the error codes stored in the control unit together
with a series of specific parameters for engine
operation and diagnosis.
IMPORTANT After eliminating the failure, to
check the system completely, Lancia Dealerships
run a bench test and, if necessary, road tests which
may also call for a long journey.
DUALDRIVE ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING
This only operates with the key turned to MAR
and the engine started. The steering allows the
force required at the steering wheel to be adjusted
to suit driving conditions.
IMPORTANT When turning the ignition key
quickly, full power steering functionality can be
achieved after a few seconds.
CITY FUNCTION ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
Press button CITY fig. 75 to activate/deactivate
the function. The activation of the function is
signalled by the word CITY on the display (in
some versions it is signalled by the word CITY
appearing on the instrument panel).

When the CITY function is on, the steering wheel
effort is lighter, parking operations are easier:
therefore this function is particularly useful for
driving in city centres.
WARNING
It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device) that could badly affect performance
and safety, invalidate warranty and also
result in non-compliance of the car with
type approval requirements.
IMPORTANT During parking manoeuvres
requiring a lot of steering, the steering may
become harder; this is normal and is due to the
intervention of the system to protect the electric
steering motor from overheating, so no
intervention is required. When the car is used
again later on, the power steering will work
normally.
WARNING
Before starting any servicing
operation, stop the engine and
remove the key from the ignition switch to
operate the steering lock, particularly when
the wheels do not touch the ground. If this
is not possible (for example if the key needs
to be turned to MAR-ON or the engine must
be running), remove the main fuse that
protects the electric power steering.

INDEX

If, when the ignition key is at MAR the
warning light remains lit, turn the key to
STOP and then back to MAR; if the warning light
remains lit, try with the other keys provided
with the car.
Contact a Lancia Dealership if you still cannot
start the engine.
Warning lightwill flash for 60
seconds after starting or during
prolonged cranking to indicate a fault
with the glow plug heating system. You can
use the car as usual if the engine starts but
you should contact a Lancia Dealership as
soon as possible.
WARNING
It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine takes
in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.
WARNING
Remember that the brake servo and
power steering are not operational
until the engine has been started, therefore
much effort than usual is required on the
brake pedal and steering wheel.

STARTING PROCEDURE FOR DIESEL
VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❒engage the handbrake and place the gearbox in
neutral;
❒turn the ignition key to MAR: the warning lights
andon the instrument panel will turn
on;
❒wait for the warning lights
andto
switch off;
❒press the clutch pedal down to the floor without
touching the accelerator;
❒turn the ignition key to AVV as soon as warning
light
switches off. Waiting too long will
waste the work done by the glow plugs. Release
the key as soon as the engine starts.
IMPORTANT With cold engine, the accelerator
must be entirely released when turning the
ignition key to position AVV.
If the engine does not start at the first attempt,
return the ignition key to STOP before repeating
the procedure.

GLOW PLUG HEATING/GLOW PLUG
HEATING FAILURE (Diesel versions)
(amber)
GLOW PLUG HEATING
The warning light switches on when the key is
turned to MAR and switches off as soon as the
glow plugs have reached the preset temperature.
The engine can be started as soon as the warning
light switches off.
IMPORTANT At high ambient temperatures the
warning light may stay on for an extremely short
time.
GLOW PLUG HEATING FAILURE
The warning light flashes (together with a
message and a symbol on the display on some
versions) to indicate a fault in the glow plugs
preheating system. Contact a Lancia Dealership to
have the fault fixed as soon as possible.
WATER IN DIESEL FUEL FILTER
(Diesel versions) (amber)
The warning light remains on constantly when
driving (together with a message and a symbol on
the display on some versions), to indicate the
presence of water in the diesel fuel filter.
The presence of water in the supply
circuit may cause severe damage to the
injection system and irregular engine
operation. If the
warning light switches on,
contact a Lancia Dealership as soon as
possible for bleeding. If this problem
is indicated immediately after refuelling,
water may have entered the fuel tank. In this
case, stop the engine immediately and contact
a Lancia Dealership.
“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING FAILURE (red)
This warning light switches on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should switch off
after a few seconds.
If the warning light (or, on some versions, a
message and a symbol on the display) remains on,
you may not have steering assistance and the
effort required to operate the steering wheel could
be notably increased; steering is, however,
possible. In this case, contact a Lancia Dealership.

IMPORTANT In some circumstances, factors
independent of the electric power steering could
cause the warning light on the instrument panel to
switch on. In this case, stop the car immediately,
switch off the engine for about 20 seconds and
then restart the engine. If the warning light (or, on
some versions, a message and a symbol on the
display) remains on constantly, contact a Lancia
Dealership.
IMPORTANT After the battery is disconnected,
the steering must be initialised. The warning light
switches on to indicate this. To carry out this
procedure, simply turn the steering wheel all the
way from one end to the other or drive in a
straight line for about a hundred metres.
CRUISE CONTROL (green)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This warning light switches on when the ignition
key is turned to MAR, but it should switch off
after a few seconds, if the Cruise Control is
deactivated.
The warning light switches on when the Cruise
Control ring nut is turned to the ON position (see
the “Cruise Control” paragraph in the "Knowing
your car" section). On some versions the display
shows the dedicated message.
DPF (PARTICULATE FILTER) BEING
CLEANED
(only Diesel versions with DPF) (amber)
Turning the key to the MAR-ON position
illuminates the warning light, but it should switch
off after a few seconds.
The warning light (together with a message and a
symbol on the display on some versions) switches
on constantly to notify the driver that the DPF
system needs to eliminate captured pollutants
(particulate) through the regeneration process.
The warning light does not come on during every
DPF regeneration, but only when driving
conditions require that the driver is notified. To
switch the warning light off, the car must be kept
moving until the regeneration process is
completed.
As an average, the process lasts fifteen minutes.
The best conditions to complete the regeneration
process are reached driving the car at about 60
km/h with engine speed over 2000 rpm.
When this warning light switches on, it does not
indicate a fault with the car and it should
therefore not be taken to a workshop. A specific
message will appear on the display when the
warning light comes on (for versions/markets,
where provided).
