Lancia Ypsilon - Video tutorial

Model: Lancia Ypsilon Y3, 846, MK 3, Ypsilon 3 - Years 2011-2023
Part: Checks and maintenance
Operation: How does the Lancia Ypsilon hybrid system work?

The hybrid system of the Lancia Ypsilon falls into the mild-hybrid category: in this case the car is fitted with an electric motor in addition to the classic internal combustion engine. The latter is simply recharged while driving and there is no charging socket in the car. The electric motor, combined with the internal combustion engine, makes it easier to restart after temporary stops: it also helps save on fuel consumption and reduces emissions. When you lift your foot off the accelerator with a gear engaged, or when you brake, the lithium-ion battery recharges, also allowing the electric motor to recharge.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
