IN AN
EMERGENCY
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
& 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.

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 being
towed. More effort on the brake
pedal and steering wheel will there-
fore 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 ex-
tracting it When the key is removed,
the steering wheel lock automati-
cally 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;
