❒using a second cable connect the
negative terminal (–) of the auxil-
iary battery to the ground E
on the
engine or on the gearbox of the car
to be started;
❒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 per-
sonnel as incorrect manoeuvres can
cause electric discharges of consid-
erable intensity. Furthermore, bat-
tery fluid is poisonous and corrosive:
avoid contact with your skin and
eyes. Keep naked flames away from
the battery. No smoking. Do not
cause sparks.

Indicate that the car is sta-
tionary according to the laws
in force: emergency lights, refracting
warning triangle, etc. Passengers
should leave the car, particularly 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.
WARNINGQUICK TYRE
REPAIR KIT FIX

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.

Should any tyre get punc-
tured due to foreign bodies,
you can repair it if the dam-
age doesn’t exceed 4 mm on
the tread and on the shoulder of the
tyre.
Replace the cylinder contain-
ing the expired sealing fluid.

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 re-
pair kit. Drive carefully, particularly
on bends. Do not exceed 80 km/h.
Do not accelerate and brake sharply.
WARNING
If the pressure has dropped
below 1.8 bar, do not con-
tinue to drive: the automatic Fix &
Go quick repair kit cannot work
properly because the tyre is exces-
sively 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.

The small spare wheel is
specific for your car. Do not
use it on cars of different models. Do
not use spare wheels of different
models on your car. The small spare
wheel must only be used in an emer-
gency. Never use it for more than
strictly necessary and never exceed
80 km/h. On the small spare wheel
there is an orange label, summariz-
ing the main warnings regarding
small spare wheel usage restrictions.
Never remove or cover the label.
Never apply any hub cap on the
small spare wheel. The label con-
tains the following indications in
four languages: Warning! For tem-
porary use only! 80 km/h max! Re-
place the standard wheel as soon as
possible. Do not cover this instruc-
tion.
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 tra-
ditional tyre on a rim designed to be
used as a small spare wheel. Repair
and refit the standard wheel as soon
as possible. Using two or more small
spare wheels at the same time is for-
bidden. 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. In-
correct 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 dri-
ving wheels, you can install the snow
chains on them, thus resolving the
emergency.
