2017 Lancia Ypsilon tow

IMPORTANT The use of the “Kick
Down” function is recommended only
when overtaking or accelerating quickly,
in order not to increase fuel
consumption.
STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
42)
On some versions, the gearbox can be
managed sequentially using the
steering wheel controls fig. 72.
To use the controls on the steering
wheel, the gear lever must be in the
central position between + and – :
operating the + lever: engage
a higher gear;
operating the – lever: engage a
lower gear.
The engagement of a lower (or higher)
gear is only permitted if the engine
rpm allow it.
WARNING
41)Avoid keeping your hand placed on this
lever in between gear changes or
Auto/Manual mode.
42)Using the paddles incorrectly (paddles
pushed towards the dashboard) could
break them.
STOP/START
SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
114) 115)43)
The Stop/Start system automatically
stops the engine each time the vehicle
is stationary and starts it again when
the driver wants to move off. In this
way, the vehicle efficiency is increased,
by reducing consumption, dangerous
gas emissions and sound pollution.
OPERATING MODES
Stopping the engine
With manual gearbox: with the car
stationary, the engine stops with the
gearbox in neutral and the clutch pedal
released.
With Dual FuNction System gearbox:
the engine stops if the vehicle is at
a standstill and the brake pedal is
pressed. This condition can be
maintained even if the brake pedal is
not depressed, if the gear lever is
in position N (Neutral).
NOTE The engine can only be stopped
automatically after exceeding a speed
of about 10 km/h, to prevent the engine
from being repeatedly stopped when
driving at walking pace.

type (HEAVY DUTY) and with the same
specifications.
115)We recommend that you remove the
key from the ignition if other people remain
in the vehicle. Exit from the vehicle only
after having removed the ignition key
or having rotated it to the STOP position.
During refuelling, make sure that the engine
is off and that the ignition key is in the
STOP position.
WARNING
43)If climate comfort is to be favoured, the
Stop/Start system can be disabled, for a
continuous operation of the climate control
system.
CRUISE CONTROL
(for versions/markets, where provided)
116) 117)
This is an electronically controlled
driving assistance device that allows
the desired vehicle speed to be
maintained, without having to press the
accelerator pedal.
This device can be used at a speed
above 30 km/h on long stretches of dry,
straight roads with few variations (e.g.
motorways).
It is therefore not recommended to use
this device on extra-urban roads with
traffic. Do not use the device in town.
ACTIVATING THE DEVICE
Turn ring nut A fig. 74 to ON. Activation
is indicated by the
warning light
switching on and, on some versions, by
a message on the display.
Storing the car speed
Proceed as follows:
turn ring nut A fig. 74 to ON and
press the accelerator pedal so that the
car reaches the desired speed;73L0F0421C

PARKING SENSORS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
44)
SENSORS
The sensors are located in the rear
bumper fig. 75 and their function is to
detect the presence of any obstacles
near the rear part of the vehicle and
inform the driver, through an
intermittent acoustic signal.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated
when reverse gear is engaged. As the
obstacle behind the vehicle gets closer,
the acoustic signal becomes more
frequent.OPERATION WITH A
TRAILER
Sensor operation is automatically
deactivated when the trailer's electric
cable plug is fitted in the vehicle's
tow hook socket.
The sensors are automatically
reactivated when the trailer's cable plug
is removed.
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
118)45)
When parking, take the utmost care
over obstacles that may be above
or under the sensor.
Objects close to the vehicle are not
detected under certain circumstances
and could therefore cause damage
to the vehicle or be damaged.
The following conditions may influence
the performance of the parking
assistance system:
the presence of ice, snow, mud or
multiple layers of paint on the surface of
the sensor may reduce its sensitivity
and the system performance;
mechanical interference (e.g.
washing the vehicle, rain, strong wind,
hail) may cause the sensor to detect
a non-existent obstacle ("echo
interference");
the presence of ultrasonic systems
(e.g. pneumatic brake systems of
trucks or pneumatic drills) near the
vehicle could alter the signals sent to
the sensor;
the variation in sensor position,
caused by variation in ride (due
to suspension or shock absorber wear),
changing tyres, overloaded vehicle, or
tuning that lowers the vehicle, for
example, may affect parking sensor
system performance;
the presence of a tow hook without
trailer interferes with the correct
operation of the parking sensors. If a
fixed tow hook is installed, the sensors
cannot be used. If the customer installs
a removable tow hook, this must
always be disconnected from
the crossmember whenever the trailer
is not attached to prevent the activation
of the sensors.

WARNING
118)Parking manoeuvres, however, are
always the driver’s responsibility. While
carrying out these manoeuvres, always
make sure that no people (especially
children) or animals are in the area
concerned. The parking sensors are used
to assist the driver, who must never allow
his attention to lapse during potentially
dangerous manoeuvres, even those
executed at low speeds.
WARNING
44)For correct operation of the system,
sensors must always be clean from mud,
dirt, snow or ice. Be careful not to scratch
or damage the sensors while cleaning
them. Avoid using dry, rough or hard
cloths. The sensors must be washed using
clean water, with the addition of vehicle
shampoo if necessary. When using special
washing equipment such as high pressure
jets or steam cleaning, clean the sensors
very quickly keeping the jet more than
10 cm away. Also, do not apply stickers to
the sensors.
45)Have interventions on the bumper in
the area of the sensors carried out only by
a Lancia Dealership. Interventions on the
bumper that are not carried out properly
may compromise the operation of the
parking sensors.
TOWING TRAILERS
119) 120)
IMPORTANT NOTES
For towing caravans or trailers the
vehicle must be fitted with an approved
tow hook and an adequate electrical
system. Installation must be carried out
by a specialist.
Install any specific and/or additional
door mirrors as specified by the
Highway Code.
Remember that when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, braking
distances increase and overtaking
takes longer depending on the overall
weight of the trailer.
Engage a low gear when driving
downhill, rather than constantly using
the brake.
The weight the trailer exerts on the
vehicle tow hook reduces the vehicle's
loading capacity by the same amount.
To make sure that the maximum
towable weight is not exceeded (given
in the vehicle registration document)
account should be taken of the fully
laden trailer, including accessories and
luggage.Do not exceed the speed limits specific
to each country you are driving in, in
the case of vehicles towing trailers.
In any case, the top speed must not
exceed 100 km/h.
Any electric brake must be powered
directly by the battery through a cable
with a cross-section of no less than 2.5
mm
2.
In addition to the electrical branches,
the vehicle electrical system can only
be connected to the supply cable for an
electric brake and to the cable for an
internal light for the trailer, not
exceeding 15 W. For connections, use
the preset control unit with a battery
cable with section not less than 2.5
mm
2.
IMPORTANT The use of auxiliary loads
other than external lights (electric brake,
etc.) must take place with engine
running.
IMPORTANT To install a tow hook
contact a Lancia Dealership.

HAZARD WARNING
LIGHTS
Press button A fig. 82 to switch the
lights on/off. When the hazard warning
lights are on, the
andwarning
lights flash.
IMPORTANT The use of hazard warning
lights is governed by the highway
code of the country you are driving in:
comply with legal requirements.
Emergency braking
In the event of emergency braking the
hazard warning lights switch on
automatically as well as the
and
warning lights in the instrument
panel.
The lights switch off automatically when
emergency braking ceases.
REPLACING A BULB
GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
121) 122)51) 52)
Before replacing a bulb check the
contacts for oxidation;
burnt bulbs must be replaced by
others of the same type and power;
after replacing a headlight bulb,
always check its alignment;
when a light is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before replacing a bulb. For the location
of fuses, refer to the paragraph
"Replacing fuses" in this chapter.
IMPORTANT When the weather is cold
or damp or after heavy rain or washing,
the surface of headlights or rear lights
may steam up and/or form drops of
condensation on the inside. This is
a natural phenomenon due to the
difference in temperature and humidity
between the inside and the outside
of the glass which does not indicate a
fault and does not compromise the
normal operation of lighting devices.
The mist disappears quickly when the
lights are turned on, starting from
the centre of the diffuser, extending
progressively towards the edges.

129)The space-saver wheel (for
versions/markets where provided) is
specific to your car, do not use it on other
models, or use the space-saver wheel
of other models on your car. The
space-saver wheel must only be used in
the event of an emergency. Never use it for
more than strictly necessary and never
exceed 80 km/h. On the space-saver
wheel there is an orange label,
summarising the main warnings regarding
space-saver wheel usage restrictions.
Never remove or cover the label. The label
contains the following indications in four
languages: "Warning! For temporary use
only! 80 km/h max.! Replace with standard
wheel as soon as possible. Never cover
this indication." Never apply a wheel cap
