2021 Lancia Ypsilon cooling

IMPORTANT It is advisable to switch the air recirculation on whilst queueing or in tunnels to prevent the introduction of polluted
air. However, it is better not to use the function for long periods, particularly if there are many people on board, to prevent the
windows from misting.
C - Air distribution knob:
towards the body and the side windows
towards the body, the side windows and the feet

D - Heated rear window activation/deactivation button. The LED on the button switches on to indicate activation.
E - Fan speed adjustment knob.
NOTE To stop the air flow from the vents turn the knob to 0.
F - Climate control system compressor on/off button. Press the button to activate the climate control system; the LED on the
button switches on (this enables rapid cooling of the passenger compartment).
ADDITIONAL HEATER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This device speeds up passenger compartment warming when it is very cold. The additional heater turns off automatically after
the required comfort conditions are achieved.
The heater activates automatically when knob A is turned to the last red section and the fan is activated (knob E turned to at
least 1
stspeed).
The heater only operates if the outside temperature and engine coolant temperature are low. The heater will not activate if the
battery voltage is too low.

The battery F in normal usage
conditions the electrolyte does not
need topping up with distilled water.
IMPORTANT If the charge level remains
under 50% for a long time, the battery
is damaged by sulphation, reducing
its capacity and efficiency at start-up.
CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
In winter, the climate control system
must be turned on at least once a
month for about 10 minutes. Have the
system inspected at a Lancia
Dealership before the summer.
WARNING
152)Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: gas and inflammable
vapours may be present, with the risk of
fire.
153)Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine
is hot: you may get burned. Remember
that the fan may start up if the engine
is hot: this could injure you. Scarves, ties
and other loose clothing might be pulled by
moving parts.154)The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only replace the plug with
another original or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do not
remove the reservoir plug when the engine
is hot: you risk scalding yourself.
155)Do not travel with the windscreen
washer fluid reservoir empty: the
windscreen washer is essential for
improving visibility. Some commercial
windscreen washer additives are
flammable. The engine compartment
contains hot components which may set it
on fire.
156)Brake fluid is poisonous and highly
corrosive. In the event of accidental
contact, immediately wash the affected
parts with water and mild soap. Then rinse
thoroughly. Call a doctor immediately if
swallowed.
157)The symbol
, on the brake fluid
container indicates if a brake fluid is
synthetic or mineral­based. Use of mineral
type fluids will damage the special rubber
seals of the braking system beyond repair.
158)Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive: avoid contact with your skin and
eyes. The battery should be charged in a
well ventilated place, away from naked
flames or possible sources of sparks:
danger of explosion and fire.
159)Using the battery with insufficient fluid
irreparably damages the battery and may
cause an explosion.
160)Always wear appropriate goggles
when working on or near the battery.161)Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin and
eyes. Keep open flames away from the
battery and do not use objects that might
create sparks: risk of explosion and fire.
162)If the car will be unused for an
extended period of time in extremely cold
weather conditions, remove the battery
and store it in a heated area to prevent it
from freezing.
WARNING
59)When topping up, take care not to mix
up the various types of fluids: they are
not compatible with each other and could
seriously damage the car.
60)The oil level must never exceed the
MAX reference.
61)Always top up using engine oil of the
same specifications as that already in
the engine.
62)PARAFLU
UPantifreeze is used in the
engine cooling system. Use the same fluid
as in the cooling system when topping
up. PARAFLU
UPfluid cannot be mixed
with any other type of fluid. If this occurs,
do not start the engine and contact your
Lancia Dealership immediately.
63)Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
