SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT


Safety and respect for the environment are the guidelines that inspired the LANCIA Ypsilon design from the drawing
board onwards.
This concept has meant that the LANCIA Ypsilon has been able to face and pass the strictest safety tests.
So much so that, from this point of view, the car is the best in its class and has probably already incorporated features
that belong to the future.
In addition, ongoing research into new and effective features to help safeguard the environment makes the LANCIA
Ypsilon a car to imitate for this reason as well.
All versions are in fact equipped with environmental protection devices that reduce harmful exhaust fumes in compli-
ance with the limits provided for by current legislation.

SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT


Safeguarding the environment has directed the design and manufacturing of the LANCIA Ypsilon right from the start.
The result is the use of materials and the perfection of devices that can reduce or sweepingly reduce harmful influences
on the environment.
The LANCIA Ypsilon equipped with environment safeguarding devices which curtail harmful exhaust gas emissions,
is ready to travel well ahead of the most stringent international pollution control standards.
001-034 Ypsilon GB 10-10-2008 10:17 Pagina 3

USE OF MATERIALS THAT DO NOT HARM THE ENVIRONMENT


None of the car’s components contain asbestos. Padding and the air conditioning system do not contain CFCs (Chlo-
rofluorocarbides), the gases considered responsible for the destruction of the ozone layer. None of the colourings and
anti-corrosion coatings of the nuts and bolts contain air- or water-table-polluting cadmium or chromates, but envi-
ronmentally-friendly substances.

DEVICES FOR REDUCING EMISSIONS (petrol engines)

Three-way catalytic converter (catalytic exhaust pipe)


The exhaust system is equipped with a catalyst made up of noble metal alloys; it is housed in a stainless steel container
capable of withstanding the very high operating temperatures.
The catalyst converts the unburnt hydrocarbons, the carbon monoxide and the nitric oxides found in the exhaust gases
(though in small amounts, thanks to the electronic-injection ignition systems) into non-polluting substances.
When functioning normally, the catalytic converter reaches high temperatures. For this reason do not park the car over
inflammable material (e.g. paper, fuel oil, grass, dead leaves, etc.).

Lambda sensors
The Lambda sensors detect the oxygen content in the exhaust gas. The signal sent by the oxygen sensor is used by the
injection system electronic control unit to constantly mix air and fuel in the correct proportion.

Evaporation control system


As it is impossible to stop the build-up of petrol fumes, also when the engine is not running, the system traps them in
a special container holding active carbon.
The fumes are sucked in from here and burnt while the engine is running.
001-034 Ypsilon GB 10-10-2008 10:17 Pagina 4

DEVICES FOR REDUCING EMISSIONS (Multijet engine)

Oxidising catalytic converter


This device converts the polluting substances in the exhaust gas (carbon monoxide, unburnt hydrocarbons and partic-
ulates) into harmless substances, thus reducing the smokiness and smell associated with diesel engine exhaust fumes.
The catalytic converter consists of a stainless steel case containing a honeycomb ceramic core in which there is the pre-
cious metal that carries out the catalysing action.

Exhaust Gas Recirculation (E.G.R.) system


This system recirculates or reuses part of the exhaust gas in a proportion which varies according to engine operating
conditions.
When necessary, it is used for the control of nitrogen oxide emissions.
001-034 Ypsilon GB 10-10-2008 10:17 Pagina 5

MUST BE READ!
REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 conforming

K
to the European specification EN 228.
Multijet engines: only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590.
The use of other products or mixtures may irreparably damage the engine with invalidation of the war-
ranty due to the damage caused.

ENGINE STARTING
Petrol engines: make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral; fully depress
the clutch without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the
engine has started.
Multijet engines: turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the instrument panel warning light Y and
m to go out, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine starts.

PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL


While working, the catalyst develops a very high temperature. Do not park the car over grass, dry leaves,

 pine needles or any other inflammable materials: risk of fire.

RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

U
A system for continuously monitoring emission system components to ensure greater environmental pro-
tection is fitted in your car.

ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical accessories (that will gradually drain the battery),
visit a Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the car’s electric
system can support the required load.

CODE card
Keep the code card in a safe place, not in the car. You should always keep the electronic code written on
the CODE card with you in case you need to carry out an emergency start-up procedure.

SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring it stays in tip-top condition and safeguards its
safety features, its environmental friendliness and low running costs for a long time to come.

THE OWNER HANDBOOK CONTAINS…


…information, tips and important warnings regarding the safe, correct driving of your car, and its main-
tenance. Pay particular attention to the symbols " (personal safety) # (environmental protection) â (car
well-being).

FUEL CONSUMPTION

AND CONTROLS
DASHBOARD
The fuel consumption figures given in the table below are determined on the basis of the homologation tests set down
by specific European Directives.
The procedures below are followed for measuring consumption:

DEVICES
SAFETY
❒ urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that simulates urban use of the car;
❒ extra-urban cycle: frequent accelerating in all gears, simulating extraurban use of the car; the speed varies between
0 and 120 km/h;

CORRECT

THE CAR
USE OF
❒ combined consumption: is calculated weighing about 37% of urban cycle consumption and about 63% of extrau-
rban consumption.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic situations, weather conditions, driving style, general conditions of the car, trim
level/equipment/accessories, load, climate control system, roof rack, other situations that affect air drag may lead to

PROVISIONS FOR THE PROCESSING OF A VEHICLE


AT THE END OF ITS LIFE-CYCLE
For years now Lancia has been developing its global commitment towards the safeguarding and protection of
the Environment through the continuous improvement of its production processes and the making of
increasingly more “eco friendly” products. With a view to guaranteeing the best possible service to clients in
full observance of environmental standards and in response to the obligations imposed by European Directive
2000/53/EC on end-of-life vehicles, Lancia offers its clients the possibility to hand in their vehicle* at the end
of its life span without additional costs.
The European Directive, in fact, provides for the take-back of the vehicle without the last holder or owner of
the same incurring expenses due to the fact that the market value of the vehicle is zero or negative. In
particular, in almost all of the countries of the European Union, up until 1st January 2007, take-back of the
vehicle free of charge only applies to vehicles registered from 1 July 2002 on, while, from 2007 on, take-back
will be carried out free of charge, independently of the year of registration, provided that the vehicle still
contains all its essential component parts (especially engine and body) and is free from additional waste
materials.
Our contracted network of authorised treatment facilities has been carefully selected in order to provide a
quality service to our customers by de-polluting and recycling “End of Life Vehicles” to approved
environmental standards. To find out the location of your nearest authorised treatment facility, offering free of
charge take-back, simply contact one of our dealers or refer to the Lancia web site or call the toll free number
00800 526242 00.
