IMPORTANT The steering may become slightly stiff fol-
lowing parking manoeuvres involving a lot of steering.
This is normal and is caused by a system to prevent the
motor from overheating. No servicing is required. The
power steering system will return to normal operation the
next time the car is used.T.P.M.S. SYSTEM
(Tyre Pressure Monitoring System)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The car may be equipped with a tyre pressure monitoring
system (T.P.M.S.). This system comprises a radio fre-
quency transmitter fitted to each wheel (on the wheel rim
inside the tyre), which is able to send information on the
tyre inflation pressure of each wheel to the control unit.
IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THE
T.P.M.S. SYSTEM
The fault indications are not stored and will therefore not
be displayed after the engine has been switched off and
then on again. If the fault conditions persist, the control
unit will send the relative indications to the instrument
panel only after the vehicle has been in motion for a short
time.
Before servicing the car, always switch off the
engine and remove the key from the ignition
to activate the steering lock. This is especially
important when the car wheels do not touch the
ground. If this is not possible (the key must be on
MAR or the engine must be running), remove the
main fuse that protects the electric power steering.
The T.P.M.S.system is not able to detect sud-
den tyre inflation pressure losses (for exam-
ple when a tyre explodes). In this case stop
the car, braking with care and avoiding sharp steer-
ing actions.

After tyre replacement
❍stow the small spare wheel D-fig. 10 in the space pro-
vided in the luggage compartment;
❍fit the partially-opened jack in its box, forcing it light-
ly to prevent it from vibrating when travelling;
❍put the tools back into place in the container;
❍stow the container, complete with tools, into the spare
wheel and tighten the locking device B-fig. 10;
❍put back the luggage compartment mat into the prop-
er position.
IMPORTANT Do not use an inner tube with tubeless tyres.
Periodically check the inflation pressure of the tyres and
small spare wheel.CHANGING A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❍Before changing a bulb check the contacts for oxida-
tion;
❍blown bulbs must be replaced with others of the same
type and power;
❍after replacing a headlight bulb, always check its align-
ment for safety reasons;
❍when a bulb is not working, check that the corre-
sponding fuse is intact before replacing it: refer to the
“Replacing fuses” paragraph in this chapter for fuse
location.
Modifications or repairs to the electrical sys-
tem that are not carried out properly or do
not take the system’s technical specifications
into account can cause malfunctions leading to the
risk of fire. If you choose to install wheels of a different
type (with alloy rims instead of the steel ones
or vice versa) you must change all the re-
taining bolts with others of a suitable size and use
a specific small spare wheel, with different speci-
fications. It is advisable to keep the replaced bolts
and small spare wheel, as they are necessary if in
future you decide to reinstall the original wheels.

Halogen bulbs contain gas under pressure, if
they break, glass fragments may be dis-
persed.IMPORTANT A slight misting may appear on the inter-
nal surface of the headlight: this does not indicate a fault
and is caused by low temperature and the degree of hu-
midity in the air. Misting will rapidly disappear when the
headlights are switched on. The presence of drops inside
the headlights indicates water penetration. Contact a Lan-
cia Dealership.
IMPORTANT When the weather is cold or damp or after
hard rain or after washing, the area of headlamps or rear
lights, may steam up and/or form drops of condensation
on the inside. This is a natural phenomenon due to the dif-
ference in temperature and humidity between the inside
and the outside of the glass which does not indicate a fault
and does not compromise the normal operation of light-
ing devices. The mist disappears quickly turning the lights
on, starting from the centre of the diffuser, extending pro-
gressively towards the edges.
When handling halogen bulbs, only touch the
metal part. Touching the transparent part of
the bulb with your fingers may reduce the in-
tensity of the emitted light and even compromise the
life of the lamp. In the event of accidental contact,
wipe the bulb with a cloth moistened with alcohol
and leave it to dry.
Where possible, it is advisable to have bulbs
changed at a Lancia Dealership. The correct
operation and orientation of the external
lights is essential for safe driving. You may be li-
able to fines if this is not the case.

REPLACING FUSES
GENERAL INFORMATION
Fuses protect the electrical system: they cut in (i.e. they
blow) in the event of a fault or improper action on the sys-
tem. Check the efficiency of the corresponding fuse when
a device does not work: the conducting element A- fig.
37 must not be interrupted. If it is, replace the blown fuse
with a new one with the same amperage (same colour).
B intact fuse.
C fuse with damaged filament.
To replace a fuse, use the pliers D-fig. 37 attached to the
dashboard control unit.
To identify the protection fuse, see the tables in the fol-
lowing pages.
fig. 37L0E0085m
If the fuse blows again contact a Lancia
Dealership.
Never replace a blown fuse with anything
other than a new fuse.
Never change a fuse with another with a
higher amp rating; FIRE RISK.
If a general protection fuse (MEGA-FUSE,
MIDI-FUSE, MAXI-FUSE) blows, do not at-
tempt any repair and contact a Lancia Deal-
ership.
Before changing a fuse, check the ignition key
has been removed and that all the other elec-
tric devices have been turned off/disabled.
