2020 Lancia Ypsilon steering

INITIALISATION
PROCEDURE
Following an automatic movement
malfunction while opening/closing or
after an emergency manoeuvre (see
description in the previous paragraph),
the automatic operation of the sun
roof must be initialised again.
Proceed as follows:
Press button B in closed position;
hold down button B: after
approximately 10 seconds the roof
moves jerkily to closing position. Once
the operation has ended (roof closed)
release button B;
turn the ignition key to STOP and
keep it there for 10 seconds;
turn the ignition key to the MAR
position;
Press button B in closed position;
hold down button B until the roof is
completely closed: the initialisation
procedure has ended;
press button B again within 3
seconds from the conclusion of the
initialisation procedure;
hold down button B: the roof will
perform an automatic opening and
closing cycle: should this not occur,
repeat the operation from the
beginning;
keeping button B held down, wait
until the roof is completely closed.
WARNING
21)When leaving the vehicle, always
remove the key from the ignition switch to
avoid the risk of injury to those still inside
the car due to accidental operation of
the sun roof. Improper use of the roof can
be dangerous. Before and during
operation, always check that no-one is
exposed to the risk of being injured by the
moving sunroof or by objects getting
caught or hit by it.
WARNING
12)Do not open the sun roof if there is
snow or ice on it: you may damage it. In
vehicles with sun roof no roof rack can be
fitted.
CONTROLS
DUALDRIVE ELECTRIC
POWER STEERING
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This only operates with the ignition
key turned to MAR and the engine
started. Electric power steering allows
the force required at the steering wheel
to be adapted to the driving conditions.
IMPORTANT When turning the ignition
key quickly, full power steering
functionality can be achieved after a
few seconds.
Activation / Deactivation (CITY
function)
Press the CITY button (A-fig. 27) to
activate the function. When this
function is active, the word CITY on the
instrument panel will light up.

27L0F0428C
29

When the CITY function is on, the
steering wheel effort is lighter, making
parking easier: therefore, this function is
particularly useful for driving in city
centres.
To deactivate the function press the
button again.
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
repair is required. When the car is
used again later on, the power steering
will work normally.
ECO FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Press the ECO button fig. 28 for at least
5 seconds to activate the function.When the ECO function is activated,
the car is set for city driving,
characterised by less effort on the
steering wheel (Dualdrive system on)
and reduced fuel consumption.
When this function is activated, the
word ECO on the display will light up on
some versions.
This function stays in the memory, so
when the vehicle is started again,
the system keeps the setting it had
before the engine was stopped. Press
the ECO button again to deactivate
the function and restore the normal
driving setting.
WARNING
22)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 adversely affect
performance and safety, invalidate the
warranty and also result in the car not
meeting type-approval requirements.
23)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 or the engine must be running),
remove the main fuse that protects the
electric power steering.

H - Car status warning (e.g. doors
open, possible ice on road, etc.)
On some versions the display shows
the turbine pressure.GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
The GSI (Gear Shift Indicator) system
advises the driver to change gear
through a specific indication on the
control panel.
Through the GSI, the driver is notified
that changing gear will allow a
reduction in fuel consumption.
When the SHIFT UP icon (
SHIFT) is
shown on the display, the GSI advises
the driver to engage a higher gear,
while when the SHIFT DOWN icon (
SHIFT) is shown, the GSI advises the
driver to engage a lower gear.
The indication on the instrument panel
remains until the driver shifts gear or the
driving conditions return to a situation
where gearshifting is not required to
improve consumption.
CONTROL BUTTONS
They are located on the dashboard fig.

“Trip B” may be used to display the
figures relating to: "Travel Distance B",
"Average fuel consumption B",
"Average speed B", "Travel time B
(driving time)".
Both functions can be reset (reset
means start of a new journey).
To reset, hold the TRIP button on the
right steering wheel stalk pressed.
NOTE “Range” and “Current fuel
consumption" parameters cannot be
reset.
WARNING
28)Failure to top up the engine oil could
result in a low level, which could prevent
normal car operation and even cause it to
stop
43

Warning light What it means
EBD FAILURE
The simultaneous switching on of the (red)
, (amber)andESCwarning lights with the engine on,
indicates either an anomaly of the EBD system or that the system is not available. In this case, the rear
wheels may suddenly lock and the vehicle may swerve when braking sharply. On some versions the display
shows the dedicated message.
Drive very carefully to the nearest Lancia Dealership to have the system inspected immediately.
“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILURE
When the key is turned to MAR, the warning light switches on but it should switch off after a few seconds.
If the warning light (or, on some versions, a dedicated 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 (should it be in
motion), stop the engine for about 20 seconds and then restart the engine. If the warning light (or, on some
versions, a dedicated message and a symbol on the display) remains on steadily, 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.
45

Warning light What it means
iTPMS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Tyre pressure low
The warning light (or symbol for versions with multifunction reconfigurable display) switches on constantly
to indicate that the tyre pressure is lower than the recommended value, in order to guarantee long tyre life
and low fuel consumption, or to indicate a slow loss of pressure.
In this way the iTPMS warns the driver that one or more tyres may be flat and probably punctured. In this
case it is advisable to restore the correct pressure value. Once the normal operating conditions of the
vehicle are restored, carry out the Tyre reset procedure.
IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or more flat tyres as handling may be compromised. Stop
the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and steering.
iTPMS failure/iTPMS temporarily deactivated
The warning light (or symbol for versions with multifunction reconfigurable display) flashes for about 75
seconds and then stays on constantly (along with a dedicated message on the display) to indicate that the
system is temporarily deactivated or faulty. The system goes back to normal operation when the operating
conditions allow it. If this is not the case, carry out the Tyre reset procedure after restoring the normal
operating conditions.
If the malfunction warning persists, contact a Lancia Dealership as soon as possible.
59

Warning light What it means
“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM ACTIVATION
The warning light (or symbol for versions with multifunction display) switches on when the "Dualdrive"
electric power steering system is activated by pressing the button on the dashboard.
When the button is pressed again the warning light (or symbol for versions with multifunction display)
switches off.
CRUISE CONTROL
(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, on some versions along with a message on the display, rotating the Cruise
Control ring nut to ON.
Blue warning lights
Warning light What it means
MAIN BEAM HEADLIGHTS
The warning light switches on when the main beam headlights are turned on.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Under special conditions (e.g. car
loaded asymmetrically on one side,
towing a trailer, damaged or worn tyre,
fitting the space-saver wheel, use of the
"Fix&Go Automatic" kit, fitting snow
chains, fitting different tyres on the
axles) the system may give false
indications or be temporarily
deactivated.
If the system is temporarily deactivated,
the warning light
flashes for about
75 seconds and then is continuously
on; at the same time, the display shows
a dedicated message.
This warning is displayed also after the
engine has been switched off and
then on again if the correct operating
conditions are not restored.
WARNING
67)If the system signals a pressure
decrease on a specific tyre, it is
recommended to check the pressure on all
four tyres.
68)The iTPMS does not relieve the driver
from the obligation to check the tyre
pressure every month; it is not to
be considered a system to replace
maintenance or a safety system.69)Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres cold. Should it become necessary for
whatever reason to check pressure with
warm tyres, do not reduce pressure even
though it is higher than the prescribed
value, but repeat the check when tyres are
cold.
70)The iTPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre
pressure drops (for example when a tyre
bursts). In this case, stop the vehicle,
braking with caution and avoiding abrupt
steering.
71)The system only warns that the tyre
pressure is low: it is not able to inflate
them.
72)Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel
consumption, reduces the tread duration
and may affect the capacity to drive safely.
OCCUPANT
