If you get a flat tyre, stop immedi-
ately and change it so as not to dam-
age the tyre, the wheel, the suspension
and the steering.
Tyres age even if they are not used
very much. Cracking of the tread rub-
ber and the side walls are a sign of
this ageing. In any case, if the tyres
have been fitted for more than six
years they should be examined by an
expert who can judge whether they
are still fit for use. Remember to
check the spare tyre particularly care-
fully too.
If a replacement is necessary, always
use new tyres and avoid using ones
the origin of which you are not certain
about.
Lancia Y uses tubeless tyres. Under
no circumstances should an inner
tube be used with these tyres.
If you replace a tyre it is a good idea
to change the inflation valve, too.To ensure the front and rear tyres all
wear evenly, you are advised to
change the tyres over every 10-15
thousand kilometres keeping them on
the same side of the car so as not to
reverse the direction of rotation.RUBBER TUBING
Follow the Service Schedule care-
fully in the case of the braking and
fuel supply systems rubber hoses.
Ozone, high temperatures and long
absence of liquid in the system can in
fact cause the hardening and crack-
ing of the pipes with possible loss of
fluid. A careful check is therefore es-
sential.
Do not change the tyres
over in criss-cross fashion
by moving a tyre from the
left hand side of the car to the right
and vice versa.
