for on-coming traffic and in such a
position that the tyre can be changed
in safety. The ground must be flat and
adequately firm. During the night,
chose a lit area, if possible.
– Turn engine off and engage the
handbrake.
– Engage first or reverse gear.
– Signal that the car is stopped ac-
cording to traffic regulations: hazard
lights, warning triangle, etc.
Any passengers must leave the car
and watch out for traffic while the
tyre is being changed.
If the ground is sloping or bumpy,
place wedges or other suitable mate-
rial for stopping the car under the
wheels.2. TAKE OUT THE TOOLS,

which follow must be complied with
to ensure that the jack and the spare
wheel are used correctly.
It must be remembered that:
– the jack weighs 1.85 kg;
– the jack does not require adjust-
ments;
– the jack cannot be repaired. If it
breaks, it must be changed with an-
other new jack;
– only the jack handle described in
this chapter can be fitted onto the
jack.
3. CHANGING THE WHEEL1)Remove the wheel cup with a
screwdriver (LS versions).
2)Loosen the wheel bolts of the
wheel to be changed by about 1 turn.
3)If the car is fitted with alloy rims,
shake the car to facilitate removing
the rim from the wheel hub.
4)Turn the jack handle Cso that
the jack opens partially.
5)Place the jack at the point marked
by a notch H (fig. 3)near the wheel to
be changed at approximately 10 cm
towards the centre of the car (fig. 3).6)Turn the handle Cto open the
jack until the jack groove is correctly
inserted in the sidemember ribbing.
7)Warn any other people present
that the car is going to be lifted. Other
people must stay clear and not touch
the car until it is back on the ground.
8)Turn jack handle and lift the ve-
hicle until the tyre is a few centime-
tres above the ground.
The jack handle must turn freely,
without touching the ground to avoid
scraping your hand.
Do not touch moving parts of the
jack (screws and joints) as they can
cause injuries. If you dirty your hands
with grease, clean them carefully.

While the car is being
towed with the engine off,
remember that the brake
pedal and steering will require
more effort as you no longer have
the benefit of the brake booster
and power steering. Do not use
flexible cables to tow. Avoid jerk-
ing. Whilst towing, ensure that the
coupling to the car does not dam-
age the surrounding components.Do not extract the igni-
tion key during towing;
leave it at MAR, to prevent
the steering lock engaging and,
provided the electrical system is
not damaged, keep the brake lights
and direction indicators working.
When the ignition key is re-
moved, the steering lock will cut in
thus preventing the steering wheel
from being turned.IF AN ACCIDENT
OCCURS
– It is important to keep calm.
– If you are not directly involved,
stop at least ten metres away from the
accident.
– If you are on a motorway do not
obstruct the emergency lane with your
car.
– Turn off the engine and turn on
the hazard lights.
– At night, illuminate the scene of
the accident with your headlights.
– Act carefully, you must not risk
being run over.
– Mark the accident by putting the
red triangle at the regulatory distance
from the car where it can be clearly
seen.
– If the doors are jammed, do not try
to leave the car by breaking the glass
of the windscreen as the glass is strat-
ified. Side windows and the rear win-
dow can be broken more easily.

IMPORTANT - Battery
You should check the battery charge
preferably at the beginning of the
winter to avoid the possibility of the
electrolyte freezing up.
This check should be performed
more frequently if the car is mainly
used for short trips, or if it is fitted
with accessories that absorb energy
even when the ignition key is re-
moved, especially if they are after-
market accessories.
You should check the battery fluid
(electrolyte) level more frequently
than shown in the Service Schedule
(see “Car maintenance”) if the car is
used in hot climates or particularly
demanding conditions. IMPORTANT - Engine oil
Change the engine oil more fre-
quently than indicated in the Service
Schedule, if the car is normally driven
in one of the following particularly se-
vere conditions:
– towing a trailer or caravan
– on dusty roads
– short, repetitive trips (less than 7
or 8 kilometres) in outside tempera-
tures below zero
– engines that are frequently left to
idle or drive slowly over long dis-
tances.
IMPORTANT - Air cleaner
Change the air cleaner more often
than indicated in the Service Sched-
ule if you use the car on dusty roads.
If you are in doubt about how often
the engine oil or the air cleaner should
be changed in relation to how you use
the car, contact a LANCIA Dealer-
ship.IMPORTANT - Pollen filter
If the car is often used in dusty or
highly polluted areas, you should
change the pollen filtering element
more frequently, especially if you no-
tice that the amount of air entering
the passenger compartment is re-
duced.
IMPORTANT - Remote control
If the LED on the remote control
unit flashes only once when you press
the remote control button, you need
to replace the batteries.
