❒Using the wrench provided, fully tighten the four fastening bolts;
❒Turn the jack handle L to lower the car and remove the jack;
❒Use the wrench provided to fasten the bolts completely in a criss-
cross fashion as shown in the figure.
REFITTING THE STANDARD WHEEL
Following the procedure described previously, raise the car and
remove the spare wheel.
For versions with steel rim
Proceed as follows:
❒Make sure the contact surfaces between standard wheel and hub
are clean so that the fastening bolts will not come loose;
❒Fit the standard wheel by inserting the first bolt in the hole closest
to the inflation valve;
❒Fit the wheel cap making the groove (on the wheel cap) coincide
with the inflation valve and fit the other three bolts;
❒For versions with press-fit wheel cap, press the cap edge against
the wheel with your palm (do not hit it);
❒Using the wrench provided, tighten the fastening bolts;
❒Lower the car and remove the jack;
❒Using the wrench provided, fully tighten the bolts in the sequence
shown previously for the spare wheel;
IMPORTANT Incorrect fitting may cause the wheel cap to come off
when the car is travelling.

JACKING THE CAR
If the car is to be lifted, go to a Lancia Dealership which is equipped
with the arm hoist or workshop lift.
Jack up the car only by positioning the jack arms or the shop jack in
the points shown in the figures.
TOWING THE CAR
The car is delivered with two tow rings: the short tow ring shall be
fitted at the front and the long one at the back.
Tow rings are arranged in tool container.
Side figures show how rear (long) ring was arranged, within spare
wheel and in the container of kit Fix & Go automatic, respectively.
For versions with Dual FuNction System gearbox, make sure that it is
in neutral N (checking that the car moves when pushed) and proceed
as for towing a normal car with mechanical gearbox.

ANNUAL INSPECTION SCHEDULE
For cars with an annual mileage of below 20,000
km (for example about 15,000 km) the following
yearly inspection programme is provided:
❒check tyre conditions/wear and adjust pressure if
required (including the spare wheel);
❒check lighting system operation (headlights,
direction indicators, hazard lights, boot lights,
passenger compartment lights, warning lights,
etc.);
❒check windscreen/washer
(nozzles/and blade position regulation)
❒check front disk brake pad conditions and wear;
❒sight inspect the conditions of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and hoses (exhaust - fuel -
brakes), rubber parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc;
❒check for bonnet and boot lock cleanness, lever
cleanness and lubrication;
❒check battery charge;
❒visual check on various drive belt conditions;
❒top up fluid levels (engine coolant, brakes,
windscreen washer, battery, etc.);
❒change engine oil;
❒change engine oil filter;
❒replace pollen filter (where provided).
ADDITIONAL CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys, check and
top up if required:
❒engine coolant fluid level;
❒brake fluid level;
❒windscreen washer fluid level;
❒tyre pressure and conditions.
Every 3,000 km check and top up if required:
engine oil level.
You are recommended to use FL Selenia products,
designed and produced specifically for Lancia cars
(see table “Capacities” in section “Technical
specifications”).

WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre, including the spare, every two weeks
and before long journeys. The pressure should be checked with the
tyre rested and cold.
For the correct tyre inflation pressure, see “Wheels” in “Technical
specifications” section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear:
A: normal pressure: tread evenly worn.
B: low pressure: tread particularly worn at the edges.
C: high pressure: tread particularly worn in the centre.
Tyres must be replaced when the tread wears down to 1.6 mm. In any
case, comply with the laws in the country where the car is being
driven.
IMPORTANT NOTES
❒As far as possible, avoid sharp braking and screech starts, etc. Be
careful not to hit the kerb, potholes or other obstacles hard.
Driving for long stretches over bumpy roads can damage the tyres;
❒Periodically check that the tyres have no cuts in the side wall,
abnormal swelling or irregular tyre wear. If any of these occur,
have the car seen to at a Lancia Dealership;

❒Avoid overloading the vehicle when travelling:
this may cause serious damage to the wheels and
tyres;
❒If a tyre is punctured, stop immediately and
change it to avoid damage to the tyre, the rim,
suspensions and steering system;
❒Tyres age even if they are not used much. Cracks
in the tread rubber are a sign of ageing. In any
case, if the tyres have been on the car for over 6
years, they should be checked by specialised
personnel, to see if they can still be used.
Also remember to check the spare wheel;
❒In the case of replacement, always fit new tyres,
avoiding those of dubious origin;
❒If a tyre is changed, also change the inflation
valve;
❒To allow even wear between the front and rear
tyres, it is advisable to change them over every
10-15 thousand kilometres, keeping them on the
same side of the car so as to not reverse the
direction of rotation.

WARNINGIf the pressure is too low the tyre overheats and this can cause it serious damage.
WARNINGRemember that road holding depends also on the correct tyre inflating pressure.
WARNINGDo not cross switch the tyres, moving them from the right of the car to the left and
vice versa.
Never submit alloy rims to repainting treatments requiring to use temperatures
exceeding 150°C since the mechanical properties of the wheels could be impaired.
