2017 Lancia Ypsilon stop start

The warning lights will stay on fixed at
the end of the cycle until the engine
is stopped. The acoustic signal will be
interrupted immediately when the
driver’s seat belt is fastened and the
warning light will turn green.
The reminder cycle (acoustic and visual)
will be repeated as described above
and the red warning light will flash if the
seat belt is unfastened again while
travelling.The reminder cycle is run only when
any seat belt is unfastened (red
blinking). In this condition, the warning
light for the seat belt which has been
unfastened will become red and flash
for approximately 30 seconds. An
acoustic signal is also emitted.
The visual indication (flashing red) will
start and end independently for each
warning light if several seat belts are
unfastened. The warning light will
become green when the relevant seat
belt is fastened again.
After about 30 seconds from the last
indication, the warning lights for rear
seats will switch off, irrespective of the
belt conditions (red or green).
IMPORTANT When the ignition key is
turned to MAR, if all the front and
rear belts are already fastened the
warning lights will remain lit with
a constant green light for 30 seconds.
IMPORTANT When the ignition key
is turned to MAR, the "belts fastened"
warning lights will be lit with a constant
green light while those for the belts
unfastened will be lit with a constant
red light. If the last belt is also fastened,
the the warning lights will remain lit
with a steady green light for about 30
seconds then they will switch off.
PRETENSIONERS
76) 77) 78) 79)33)
The vehicle is equipped with front seat
belt pretensioners, which draw back
the seat belts by several centimetres in
the event of a strong frontal impact.
This guarantees the perfect adherence
of the seat belts to the occupant's
bodies before the retention action
begins.
It is evident that the pretensioners have
operated when the belt withdraws
towards the retractor. This vehicle is
also equipped with a second
pretensioner (in the kick plate area). Its
activation is signalled by the shortening
of the metal cable.
A slight discharge of smoke may be
produced during the activation of the
pretensioner which is not harmful and
does not involve any fire hazard.
If, due to unusual natural events (floods,
sea storms, etc.), the device has been
affected by water and/or mud, contact
a Lancia Dealership to have it replaced.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest
degree of protection from the action of
the pretensioner, wear the seat belt
tight to the chest and pelvis.

pressure on the gauge with compressor
off to obtain a more precise reading;
if after five minutes it is still
impossible to reach at least 1.8 bar,
disengage the compressor from the
valve and power socket, then move the
car forwards by approx. ten metres in
order to distribute the sealing fluid
inside the tyre evenly, then repeat the
inflation operation;
if after this operation you still cannot
reach at least 1.8 bar after 5 minutes
from switching on the compressor,
do not resume driving but contact a
Lancia Dealership;
after driving for about 10 minutes
stop and check the tyre pressure again;
pull up the handbrake. For the safety
of the car when it is parked, follow
the indication in the paragraph "When
parked" in the chapter "Starting up and
driving".
