2020 Lancia Ypsilon wheel

VERSIONS WITH DUAL FUNCTION
SYSTEM GEARBOX
Make sure that the gearbox is in neutral
(N) (checking that the vehicle moves
when pushed) and proceed in the same
way as for towing a normal vehicle
with a manual gearbox.
If the gearbox cannot be put in neutral,
do not tow the car and contact a
Lancia Dealership.
WARNING
148)Before towing, turn the ignition key to
MAR-ON and then to STOP without
removing it. The steering column
will automatically lock when the key is
removed and the wheels cannot be
steered.
149)Before tightening the ring clean the
threaded housing thoroughly. Make sure
that the ring is fully fastened in the housing
before towing the car.150)Whilst towing, remember that the
assistance of the brake servo and the
electric power steering is not available,
therefore greater force needs to be exerted
on the brake pedal and more effort is
required on the steering wheel. Do not use
flexible cables when towing and avoid
jerky movements. Make sure not to
damage parts in contact with the car while
towing. When towing the vehicle, you
must comply with all specific traffic
regulations and adopt an appropriate
driving behaviour. Do not start the engine
while towing the car.
151)The front and rear tow hooks should
be used only for emergencies on the road.
You are allowed to tow the vehicle for
short distances using an appropriate
device in accordance with the highway
code (a rigid bar), to move the vehicle on
the road in readiness for towing or
transport via a breakdown vehicle. Tow
hooks MUST NOT be used to tow vehicles
off the road or where there are obstacles
and/or for towing operations using cables
or other non-rigid devices. In compliance
with the above conditions, towing must
take place with the two vehicles (one
towing, the other towed) aligned as much
as possible along the same centre line.

SERVICING AND CARE
Correct servicing permits the
performance of the vehicle to be
maintained over time, as well as limited
running costs and safeguarding the
efficiency of the safety systems.

SERVICING AND CARE

WARNING
164)Driving with worn windscreen/rear
window wiper blades is a serious hazard,
because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.
WARNING
65)Do not operate the windscreen wiper
with the blades lifted from the windscreen.
LIFTING THE CAR
If the car is to be lifted, go to a Lancia
Dealership which is equipped with
arm hoists or workshop lifts.
BRAKES
Depending on the version/market, the
vehicle may be equipped with
mechanical wear detectors for the
brake pads: one for each wheel
assembly.
When the brake linings are close to
wearing out, pressing the brake pedal
will generate a slight squeal: this lasts
for about 100 km (the mileage varies
with the driving style and route).
In this case, it is still possible to
continue driving, with caution.
In any case, contact a Lancia
Dealership as soon as possible to have
the worn brake pads replaced.

IMPORTANT NOTES
Take the following precautions to
prevent damage to the tyres:
avoid braking suddenly, racing starts
and violent impact against the curb,
potholes or other obstacles and driving
for extended periods on uneven road
surfaces;
periodically check that the tyres
have no cuts in the side wall, abnormal
swelling or irregular tread wear;
avoid travelling with the vehicle
overloaded. If a tyre is punctured, stop
immediately and change it;
tyres age even if they are not used
much. Cracks in the tread rubber
and at the sides are a sign of ageing. In
any case, if the tyres have been on
the car for over 6 years, they should be
checked by specialised personnel.
Also remember to check the
space-saver wheel very carefully (for
versions/markets, where provided);
alternate the tyres, between front
and rear, every 10-15 thousand
kilometres, keeping them on the same
side of the car so as not to reverse
the direction of rotation;
in the case of replacement, always
fit new tyres, avoiding those of
unknown origin;
if a tyre is changed, also change the
inflation valve.
avoid travelling with partially or
completely deflated tyres as this can
compromise safety and damage the
tyres beyond repair.
WARNING
165)The road holding qualities of the car
also depend on the correct inflation
pressure of the tyres.
166)If tyre pressure is too low, it may
overheat and be severely damaged as a
result.
167)Do not cross switch the tyres, moving
them from the right of the car to the left
and vice versa.
168)Do not repaint alloy wheel rims at
temperatures higher than 150°C. The
mechanical characteristics of the wheels
might be compromised.
169)Travelling with partially or completely
deflated tyres can cause safety problems
and damage the concerned tyre beyond
repair.
BODY
PRESERVING THE
BODYWORK
Paint
Touch up abrasions and scratches
immediately to prevent the formation of
rust.
Maintenance of paintwork consists of
washing the car: the frequency
depends on the conditions and
environment where the car is used. For
example, in highly polluted areas, or if
the roads are spread with salt, it is
advisable to wash the car more
frequently.
To correctly wash the car, proceed as
follows:
remove the aerial from the roof to
prevent damage to it if the car is
washed in an automatic system;
if there is any decorative sticker or if
high pressure jets or cleaners are used
to wash the car, keep a distance of
at least 40 cm from the bodywork to
avoid damage or alteration;
wash the bodywork using a low
pressure jet of water;
wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy
solution over the bodywork, frequently
rinsing the sponge;

COLD TYRE INFLATION PRESSURE (bar)
When the tires are warm, the inflation pressure should be + 0.3 bar in relation to the recommended figure.
However, recheck that the value is correct with the tyre cold.

SNOW CHAINS
67) 68)
The use of snow chains should be in compliance with local regulations of each country. In certain countries, tyres marked with
code M+S (Mud and Snow) are considered as winter equipment; therefore their use is equivalent to that of the snow chains.
Snow chains can be fitted to the tyres of the front wheels (drive wheels) only.
Check the tension of the snow chains after the first few metres have been driven.
Using snow chains with tyres with non-original dimensions may damage the vehicle.
Using different size or type (M+S, snow, etc.) tyres between front and rear axle may adversely affect car driveability, with the risk
of losing control of the car and resulting accidents.
IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be fitted to the space-saver wheel. If a front tyre is punctured, replace a rear wheel with the
space-saver wheel and move the rear wheel to the front axle. In this way, with two normal drive wheels at the front, snow
chains can be fitted.
WARNING
170)DO NOT fit wheel hub caps when using integral hub caps fixed (with springs) to the steel rim and after sale tyres provided with Rim
Protector. Use of unsuitable tyres and wheel caps may cause sudden decrease of tyre pressure.
171)The maximum speed for snow tyres marked “Q” is 160 km/h, while it is 190 km/h for “T” tyres and 210 km/h for "H" tyres. The highway
code speed limits must however always be complied with.
WARNING
67)Keep the vehicle's speed down when snow chains are fitted; never exceed 50 km/h. Avoid potholes, steps and pavements and avoid
driving long distances on roads not covered with snow to avoid damaging the car and the road surface.
68)With snow chains, use the accelerator with extreme care to prevent, or to limit as much as possible, slipping of the drive wheels that
could cause chain breakage, resulting in damage to the car body or mechanical components.
