BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine (by pushing, towing,
or coasting downhill) as this could cause fuel to
flow into the catalytic exhaust system and damage
it beyond repair.IMPORTANT Remember that until the engine has
started the brake booster and electrical power
steering systems will not work and a greater effort
will therefore be required to press the brake pedal
or turn the steering wheel.
WARNING
Alert other drivers that the car is stationary in compliance with local regulations:
hazard warning lights, warning triangle etc. Any passengers on board should
leave the car, especially if it is heavily laden. Passengers should stay away from
oncoming traffic while the wheel is being changed on. If the wheel is being
changed on a steep or badly surfaced road, place the wedges or other suitable
material under the wheel to stop the car.

IMPORTANT Do not use the quick repairing kit if
the tyre is damaged due to driving with the wheel
flattened.IT SHOULD BE NOTICED THAT:
The sealing fluid of the quick tyre repair kit is
effective with external temperatures between –20 °C
and +50 °C.
The sealing fluid has limited life.
In the event of a puncture caused by foreign bodies, it is possible to repair tyres showing damages
on the track or shoulder up to max 4 mm diameter.
The compressor shall not be operated for more than 20 minutes. Risk of
overheating!. Tyres repaired with the quick tyre repair kit shall be used
temporarily only.WARNING
Repairs are not possible in case of damages on the wheel rim (bad groove
distortion causing air loss). Do not remove foreign bodies (screws or nails) from
the tyre.WARNING
Holes and damages on the tyre side walls cannot be repaired. Do not use the
quick tyre repair kit if damaging is due to running with flat tyre.WARNING

❒make sure the compressor switch D is set to 0 (off), start the engine
and fit plug A into the nearest current outlet and then turn on the com-
pressor by setting switch D to I (on). Inflate the tyre to the pressure
specified in paragraph “Inflation pressure” in section “Technical Spec-
ifications”.
Check tyre pressure on gauge F with compressor off to obtain pre-
cise reading;
❒if after 5 minutes it is still impossible to reach at least 1.5 bar, disen-
gage compressor from valve and current outlet, then move the car forth
for approx. ten metres in order to distribute the sealing fluid inside the
tyre evenly, then repeat the inflation operation;
❒if after this operation it is still impossible after 5 minutes to reach at
least 1.8 bar, do not start driving since the tyre is excessively damaged
and the quick tyre repair kit cannot guarantee suitable sealing, con-
tact Lancia Dealership;

WARNINGApply the sticker in a visible position for
the driver to indicate that the tyre has
been treated with the quick tyre repair
kit. Drive carefully especially when
cornering. Do not exceed 80 km/h. Avoid
heavy braking and accelerating.
WARNINGIf the pressure falls below 1.8 bars, do not
drive any further: the quick tyre repair
kit Fix & Go automatic cannot guarantee
proper hold because the tyre is too much
damaged. Contact Lancia Dealership.

It is of vital importance to communicate that the tyre has been repaired using the
quick tyre repair kit. Hand the instruction brochure to the personnel charged with
treating the tyre repaired with the kit.WARNING
❒if reaching the tyre pressure specified in paragraph “Inflation pressure”
in section “Technical Specifications”, start driving immediately;
❒after driving for about 10 minutes stop and check again the tyre pres-
sure; pull up the handbrake;
❒if at least 1.8 bar pressure is read, restore proper pressure (with engine
running and handbrake on) and restart;
❒drive with the utmost care to the nearest Lancia Dealership.
FOR CHECKING AND RESTORING PRESSURE ONLY
The compressor can be also used just for restoring pressure.
Disconnect the quick connection and connect it directly to the tyre
valve; in this way the cylinder is not connected to compressor and the
sealing fluid will not flow into the tyre.
CYLINDER REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
To replace the cylinder proceed as follows:
❒disconnect connection A;
❒turn counter-clockwise the cylinder to replace and raise it;
❒fit the new cylinder and turn it clockwise;
❒connect connection A to the cylinder and fit the transparent tube B in-
to the proper space.

WARNING
The space-saver spare wheel is specific to the vehicle: do not use it on other
models and do not use spare wheels designed for other models on your car.
The space-saver spare wheel must only be used in the event of an emergency, and
then only for as little as possible and at no more than 80 km/h.
The space-saver spare wheel is fitted with an orange sticker giving the main
instructions for its use and limitations. The sticker must never be removed or
covered. Do not fit the hub cap to the spare wheel. The sticker gives the following
information in four languages: C
AUTION! FOR TEMPORARY USE ONLY! 80 KM/H MAX!
R
EPLACE BY NORMAL WHEEL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. DO NOT COVER THIS LABEL IN USE. IMPORTANT If the car is fitted with T.P.M.S.
system, tyre and/or rim changing should be
performed adopting special precautions. To avoid
bad installation of sensors or damages, have these
operations performed by Lancia Dealership
qualified personnel only.
IMPORTANT If the car is fitted with T.P.M.S.
system, when changing a tyre, change also the
rubber inflation valve seal. Contact Lancia
Dealership.
IF A TYRE IS PUNCTURED
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Wheel changing and correct use of the jack and
space-saver spare wheel call for some precautions as
listed below.
IMPORTANT If the car is equipped with “Kit for
tyre quick repair Fix & Go”, see the instructions
contained in the following chapter.

WARNING
The jack should only be used to change a wheel on the car for which it was
designed. It should not be put to other uses or employed to raise other models of
cars. Under no circumstances should it be used when carrying out repairs under
the car. An incorrectly positioned jack may cause the car to fall.
Do not use the jack to lift loads exceeding that indicated on the label attached to
the jack itself.
Do not fit snow chains on a space-saver spare wheel.
If a front wheel (drive wheel) is punctured and you require snow chains to
proceed, take a standard wheel from the rear axle and fit the space-saver spare
wheel in its place.
Having fitted two standard wheels on the front drive axle you can use snow
chains, thus solving the emergency situation.
WARNING
When driving with a space-saver spare wheel fitted, the driving performance of
your car may change. Avoid accelerating or braking suddenly, steering abruptly
or fast cornering.
The lifespan of a space-saver spare wheel is approximately 3000 km, after which
it will need to be replaced with another spare wheel of the same type. Never fit a
standard tyre on the space-saver spare wheel rim.
Have the wheel replaced and refitted as soon as possible. Never use two or more
spare wheels at the same time. Do not lubricate the bolt threads before fitting
them back: they could come loose.
WARNING
Fasten the wheel cap correctly to prevent the wheel from coming free in motion.
Never tamper with the inflation valve.
Never place tools between the rim and tyre. Check the tyre and space-saver spare
wheel pressure regularly. The tyre inflation pressure is shown in the “Technical
specifications” chapter.
