IMPORTANT NOTES ON TYRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM (T.P.M.S.)
IMPORTANT Failure indications will not be stored
and therefore will not be displayed when turning
the engine off and on again. If failure persists, the
control unit will send warning indications to the
instrument panel only after a few seconds when the
car is moving.
IMPORTANT T.P.M.S. system cannot indicate
sudden tyre pressure drops (e.g.: tyre burst).
In this event, brake the car cautiously and avoid
sudden steering.
IMPORTANT Cross switching of rear tyres with
front tyres or replacing standard tyres with winter
tyres and vice versa involves T.P.M.S. system set-up
that shall be performed at Lancia Dealerships only.IMPORTANT The T.P.M.S. system requires specific
equipment. Apply to Lancia Dealerships for
compatible accessories (wheels, wheel caps, etc.).
Other accessories could impair regular system
operation.
Due to the particular valve characteristics, use only
Lancia-approved tyre repair sealing fluids. Other
products could impair regular system operation.
IMPORTANT Tyre pressure could change according
to outside temperature. For this reason the T.P.M.S.
system could temporarily indicate low tyre pressure.
In this event check pressure with cold tyres and
restore proper inflation values if required.
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 after repairing a punctured tyre
with the Fix&Go kit and restoring the initial
conditions the flat tyre warning light continues to
stay on, contact Lancia Dealership.

SNOW TYRES
Use snow tyres of the same size as the normal tyres
provided with the car.
Lancia Dealership will be happy to provide advice
concerning the most suitable type of tyre for the
customer’s requirements.
For the type of tyre to be used, inflation pressures
and the specifications of snow tyres, follow the
instructions given in paragraph “Wheels” in section
“Technical specifications”.
The winter features of these tyres are reduced
considerably when the tread depth is below 4 mm.
In this case, they should be replaced.Due to the snow tyre features, under normal
conditions of use or on long motorway journeys, the
performance of these tyres is lower than that of
normal tyres. It is therefore necessary to limit their
use to the purposes for which they are certified.
IMPORTANT When snow tyres are used with a max
speed index below the one that can be reached by
the car (increased by 5%), place a notice in the
passenger compartment, plainly in the driver’s view
which states the max permissible speed of the snow
tyres (as per EC Directive).
All four tyres should be the same (brand and track)
to ensure greater safety when driving and braking
and better driveability.
Remember that it is inappropriate to change the
direction of rotation of tyres.
