Indicate that the car is sta-
tionary according to the
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.

(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.

EMERGENCY
The small spare wheel is
specific for your car. Do
not use it on cars of different mod-
els. Do not use spare wheels of dif-
ferent models on your car. The
small spare wheel must only be
used in an emergency. Never use it
for more than strictly necessary
and never exceed 80 km/h. On the
small spare wheel there is an or-
ange label, summarizing the main
warnings regarding small spare
wheel usage restrictions. Never re-
move or cover the label. Never ap-
ply any hub cap on the small spare
wheel. The label contains the fol-
lowing indications in four lan-
guages: Warning! For temporary
use only! 80 km/h max! Replace
the standard wheel as soon as pos-
sible. Do not cover this instruction.
WARNING
The driving characteristics
of the car are different
when the small spare wheel is in-
stalled. Avoid violent accelerations
and braking, sharp steering and
fast bending. The overall duration
of the small spare wheel is of about
3000 km, after which the relevant
tyre must be replaced with another
one of the same type. Never install
a traditional tyre on a rim de-
signed to be used as a small spare
wheel. Repair and refit the stan-
dard wheel as soon as possible.
Using two or more small spare
wheels at the same time is forbid-
den. Do not apply grease to the bolt
threading before assembly: they
might come unscrewed.
WARNING
The jack may only be used
to replace wheels on the
car which it equips or other cars of
the same model. Never use the jack
for other purposes, such as lifting
other car models. Never use the
jack to carry out repairs under the
car. Incorrect positioning of the
jack may cause the car to fall. Do
not use the jack for loads higher
than those shown on the label.
Never install snow chains on the
small spare wheel; if a front tyre
(driving wheel) is punctured and
you need to use snow chains, use a
standard wheel from the rear axle
and install the small spare wheel
on the rear axle. This way, with
two normal front driving wheels,
you can install the snow chains on
them, thus resolving the emergency.

of the steering column and in the en-
gine compartment next to the battery.

HOOKING THE TOW RING
Proceed as follows:
❒take the tow hook B-fig. 45from
its support;
❒tighten the ring on the rear or
front threaded pin.
fig. 45L0D0487m
fig. 46L0D0205m
The power brakes and the
electrical power steering
will not work while the car is be-
ing towed. More effort on the brake
pedal and steering wheel will
therefore be required. Do not use
wires for towing. Do not jerk.
Make sure not to damage parts in
contact with the car while towing.
When towing the vehicle, be sure to
respect the specific rules of the
Highway Code when towing the
car specifically in relation to the
towing device and the behaviour to
maintain on the road.
WARNING
Before beginning the tow,
turn the ignition key to
MAR and then to STOP, without
extracting it When the key is re-
moved, the steering wheel lock au-
tomatically activates. making it
impossible to turn the wheels.
WARNING
During towing do not
start up the engine.

MAINTENANCE
AND CARE
IMPORTANT If the charge level re-
mains for a long time under 50%, the
battery is damaged by sulphation, re-
ducing its capacity and starting atti-
tude.
The battery will also be more at risk
of freezing (e.g. already at –10°C).
Refer to the paragraph “Car inactiv-
ity” in “Starting and driving” if the
car is left parked for a long time.
If after buying the car, you want to in-
stall electric accessories which require
permanent electric supply (alarm,
etc.) contact the Lancia Dealership
whose qualified personnel, in addition
to suggesting the most suitable devices
beloning to the Lancia Lineaccessori
line, will evaluate the overall electric
absorption, checking whether the car’s
electric system is capable of with-
standing the load required, or whether
it should be integrated with a more
powerful battery.
Since these devices continue absorb-
ing energy even when the ignition key
is off, they gradually run down the
battery.WHEELS
AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each type, in-
cluding the spare, approximately once
every two weeks and before starting a
long journey: this check must be per-
formed with the tyre rested and cold.
It is normal for the pressure to in-
crease when the car is used; for the
correct tyre inflation pressure, see
“Wheels” in “Technical specifica-
tions” section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal
tyre wear:
A: normal pressure: evenly worn
tread.
B: low pressure: tread particularly
worn on the edges.
C: excessive pressure: tread particu-
larly worn in the middle.
The tyres must be replaced when the
tread is less than 1.6 mm thick. In all
cases, follow the laws in force in the
country where you are driving.IMPORTANT NOTES
❒Avoid braking suddenly, burning
starts and violent knocks against
the curb, potholes or other obsta-
cles if possible. Long distances on
rough roads may damage the
tyres;
❒check the tyres regularly for cuts
on the sides, swelling or irregular
tread wear. Go to a Lancia Deal-
ership if required;
❒do not overload your car: this may
cause serious damage to wheels
and tyres;
❒if a tyre is punctured, stop imme-
diately and charge it to avoid
damage to the tyre, the rim, sus-
pensions and steering system;

Do not keep aerosol cans
in the car: risk of explo-

to sunlight, the internal tempera-
ture can greatly exceed this value.

LEVER COVERED
IN REAL LEATHER
These components must be cleaned
with mild soap and water only. Never
use spirit and/or alcohol based prod-
ucts.
Before using specific products for the
cleaning of the interiors, ensure
through careful reading that the in-
structions on the label of the product
do not contain alcohol and/or alcohol-
based substances.
If, during cleaning of the windscreen,
window cleaner accidentally drips
onto the leather of the steering wheel
/ gear lever knob, wipe away imme-
diately and then wash the area with
mild soap and water.
IMPORTANT Be careful when in-
stalling a steering wheel lock device,
where applicable, to prevent damag-
ing the leather upholstery by rubbing.
