❒the tyre ages even if rarely used.
Cracks in the tread and on the
sidewalls are a sign of ageing.
Have the tyres checked by spe-
cialised personnel if they have
been fitted for longer than 6 years.
Remember to check the spare
wheel very carefully;
❒In the case of replacement, always
fit new tyres, avoiding those of du-
bious 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 not to reverse the direction of
rotation.
Remember that road hold-
ing depends also on the
correct tyre inflation pressure.
WARNING
If the pressure is too low
the tyre overheats and this
can cause it serious damage.
WARNING
Do not cross switch the
tyres, moving them from the
right of the car to the left and vice
versa.
WARNING
Never subject alloy rims to
repainting treatments re-
quiring the use of temperatures ex-
ceeding 150°C. The mechanical
properties of the wheels could be
impaired.
WARNING
RUBBER HOSES
As far as the brake system and fuel
rubber hoses are concerned, carefully
follow the “Service schedule” in this
section.
Ozone, high temperatures and pro-
longed lack of fluid in the system may
cause hardening and cracking of the
hoses, with possible leaks. Careful in-
spections are therefore necessary.

To ensure the proper operation of the Multijet versions with DPF only use genuine lubricant. In an emergency, if the genuine product is
not available, top up with at most 0.5 l and drive to a Lancia Dealership as soon as possible.
If genuine SAE 5W-40 products cannot be used, lubricants with minimal performance ACEA A3 for petrol engines and ACEA B4 for
diesel engines are admissible; in this case, optimal performance of the engine is not guaranteed. Using products with lower characteristics
than ACEA A3 and ACEA B4 could cause damage to the engine not covered by the guarantee.
When the car is to be used under particularly harsh climate conditions, ask a Lancia Dealership for the appropriate product from the Se-
leniarange.Quality characteristics of fluids and lubricants
