The doors are fitted with an emer-
gency device so that they can be
closed using a lock in the event of a
current failure.
In this case, to close the doors of the
car, proceed as follows:
❒fit the ignition key into the revolv-
ing plug B-fig. 1.
❒turn it to 1and close the door.

STARTING
THE ENGINE
STARTING WITH AN
AUXILIARY BATTERY
If the battery is lat, the engine may be
started using an auxiliary battery with
the same capacity or a little higher
than the flat one.
Proceed as follows:
❒connect the positive terminals (+
sign near the terminal) of the two
batteries using an appropriate ca-
ble; To re-open the door, proceed as fol-
lows:
❒fit the ignition key in the revolving
plug of the lock on the driver’s side
and turn it anticlockwise
❒open the door on the driver side
❒from the inside of the car, open the
remaining doors by lifting the re-
spective levers on the door han-
dles.

❒Start the engine;
❒when the engine has been started,
remove the leads reversing the or-
der above.
If after various attempts the engine
does not start, do not persist in vain.
Contact a Lancia Dealership.
IMPORTANT Do not connect the neg-
ative terminals of the two batteries di-
rectly: sparks could ignite explosive
gas released from the battery. If the
auxiliary battery is installed on an-
other car, prevent accidental contact
between metallic parts of the two cars.Never use a quick battery
charger for the emergency
start: this could damage the
electronic systems and the
engine fuel feed and ignition control
units.
This starting procedure
must be carried out by
expert personnel as incorrect ma-
noeuvres can cause electric dis-
charges of considerable intensity.
Furthermore, battery fluid is poi-
sonous and corrosive: avoid con-
tact with your skin and eyes. Keep
naked flames away from the bat-
tery. No smoking. Do not cause
sparks.

laws in force: emergency lights, re-
fracting warning triangle, etc. Pas-
sengers should leave the car, partic-
ularly if it is very loaded and wait
for the wheel to be changed away
from on-coming traffic. In case of
steep slopes or rough slopes, place
wedges or other materials suitable
to stop the vehicle under the wheels.

REPAIR KIT FIX
& GO automatic
(if provided for)
The quick tyre repair kit Fix & Go
automaticfig. 3is placed in the boot.
The kit includes:
❒cylinderAcontaining sealing liq-
uid and fitted with:
– filling pipe B;
– adhesive label Cbearing the
words “max. 80 km/h”, to be at-
tached in a position easily visi-
ble to the driver (on the dash-
board) after tyre repair;
❒informative leaflet fig. 4, used to
ensure the correct use of the quick
tyre repair kit and then given to
the personnel who will handle the
treated tyre; BUMP STARTING
Never jump start the engine by push-
ing, towing or driving downhill. This
could cause a flow of fuel into the cat-
alytic converter and damage it beyond
repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the
brake booster and the power steering
system are not operating until the en-
gine is started, a greater effort will
therefore be required to press the
brake pedal or turn the steering
wheel.

❒a pair of protective gloves located
in the side space of the compres-
sor;
❒adaptors for the inflation of vari-
ous elements.
The kit container (placed in the boot
under the carpet) also holds the
screwdriver and the tow hitch.
Give the instruction book-
let to the tyre repair work-
shop personnel.
WARNING
IMPORTANT Do not use the Fix &
Go if the tyre was damaged by run-
ning on a flat.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
The sealing fluid of the quick tyre re-
pair kit is effective with external tem-
peratures between –20 °C and +50 °C.
The sealing fluid will expire.
The kit cannot be used to
repair damage to the tyre
sidewall. Do not use the quick re-
pair kit if the tyre was damaged by
running on a flat.
The damage cannot be repaired
with the kit if the wheel rim is
damaged (deformation of the chan-
nel causing leakage of air). Do not
remove the foreign body (screw or
nail) from the tyre.
Do not operate the compressor for
longer than 20 consecutive min-
utes. Risk of overheating. The
quick repair kit is not suitable for
definitive repairs. The tyres may
only be repaired temporarily.
WARNING
Should any tyre get punc-
tured due to foreign bodies,
you can repair it if the
damage doesn’t exceed 4
mm on the tread and on the shoul-
der of the tyre.
Replace the cylinder con-
taining the expired sealing
fluid. Dispose of the cylinder
and the sealant liquid prop-
erly. Dispose of according to the na-
tional and local laws in force.

For a more accurate reading,
check pressure gauge F-fig. 6with
the compressor off;
❒if after 5 minutes it is still impos-
sible to reach at least 1.5 bar, dis-
engage compressor from the valve
and current outlet and move the
car forward by 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 im-
possible after 5 minutes to reach
at least 1.8 bar, do not start dri-
ving since the tyre is excessively
damaged and the quick tyre repair
kit cannot guarantee suitable seal-
ing, contact the Lancia Dealership;
fig. 8L0D0485m
Apply the adhesive label in
a position clearly visible
by the driver as a reminder that
the tyre has been treated with the
quick repair kit. Drive carefully,
particularly on bends. Do not ex-
ceed 80 km/h. Do not accelerate
and brake sharply.
WARNING
If the pressure has
dropped below 1.8 bar, do
not continue to drive: the automatic
Fix & Go quick repair kit cannot
work properly because the tyre is
excessively damaged. Contact a
Lancia Dealership.
WARNING
❒if the tyre has been inflated to the
pressure in paragraph “Inflation
pressure” in section “Technical
Specifications”, resume driving
immediately;
❒after driving for about 10 minutes,
stop and check again the tyre
pressure again; remember to pull
the handbrake;
❒if, on the other hand, a pressure
of at least 1.8 bar pressure is read,
restore the correct (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 may also be used for
restoring pressure only. Release the
quick coupling and connect directly
to the tyre valve; in this way, the
cylinder will not be connected to the
compressor and no sealing fluid will
be injected.
