❍warn anybody nearby that the car is about to be lift-
ed. They must stay clear and not touch the car until
it is back on the ground;
❍fit the handle H-fig. 12 into device I of the jack and
lift the car until the wheel is several centimetres off the
ground. When turning the handle, make sure that it
rotates freely, without risking injury to your hand by
rubbing it against the ground. Even the moving com-
ponents of the jack (screws and joints) can cause in-
juries; do not touch them. If you come into contact with
lubricating grease, clean yourself thoroughly;
❍make sure the contact surfaces on the small spare wheel
are clean so that the retaining bolts will not come loose;
❍fit the small spare wheel, coinciding pins T-fig. 11 with
the openings S on the wheel;
❍tighten the 4 retaining bolts;
❍turn the jack handle to lower the car and remove the
jack;
❍fully tighten the bolts, passing alternately from one bolt
to the opposite one, following the order indicated in
fig. 13.

REFITTING THE STANDARD WHEEL
Following the procedure described previously, raise the
car and remove the small spare wheel.
Versions with steel rims
Proceed as follows:
❍make sure the contact surfaces between standard wheel
and hub are clean so that the retaining bolts will not
come loose;
❍fit the standard wheel inserting the 4 bolts into the
holes;
❍using the wrench provided, tighten the retaining bolts;
❍press-fit the hub cap, aligning the special groove (on
the cap) with the inflation valve;
❍lower the car and remove the jack;
❍using the wrench provided, fully tighten the bolts in
the sequence shown previously in the diagram.Versions with alloy wheels
❍insert the wheel on the hub and tighten the bolts us-
ing the wrench provided;
❍lower the car and remove the jack;
❍using the wrench provided, fully tighten the bolts in
the sequence shown in fig. 8;
❍reinstall the press-fitted hub cap, making sure that the

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.

TOWING THE CAR
The tow ring provided with the car is housed in the tool
box under the luggage compartment mat.
FASTENING THE TOW RING fig. 43-44
Proceed as follows:
❍release cap A;
❍take the tow hook B from its seat in the tool support;
❍tighten the ring on the rear or front threaded pin.
fig. 43L0E0090mfig. 44L0E0091m
Before starting towing operations, turn the ig-
nition key to MAR and then to STOP, without
extracting it. If the key is extracted, the steer-
ing wheel lock will be automatically activated, thus
preventing steering. The power brakes and the elec-
trical power steering will not work while the car is be-
ing towed. More effort on the brake pedal and steer-
ing 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. Respect the spe-
cific rules of the Highway Code when towing the car
specifically in relation to the towing device and the be-
haviour to maintain on the road. Do not start the en-
gine while towing the car.

BATTERY
The battery F-fig, 1-2-3 provided with this vehicle is a
“Reduced maintenance” battery: no top-ups with distilled
water are needed in normal conditions of use.
It should nevertheless be periodically checked by a Lan-
cia Dealership or specialised personnel to check its effi-
ciency.
The battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive.
Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Keep
naked flames and sources of sparks away
from the battery: risk of explosion and fire.
Running the battery with an excessively low
liquid level will damage the battery beyond
repair and even cause an explosion.
CHANGING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with a genuine spare part
with the same specifications.
If a battery with different specifications is fitted, the ser-
vice intervals given in the “Scheduled Service Plan” will
no longer be valid.
Refer therefore to the instructions provided by the battery
manufacturer.
If the battery is disconnected, the áwarning light will
come on (together with a message in the display) to indi-
cate that the system must be realigned. To switch the
warning light off, carry out the following initialization pro-
cedure:
❍turn the ignition key to the ON position;
❍turn the steering wheel fully both clockwise and anti-
clockwise (to move from the position with the wheels
straight);
❍turn the ignition key to the OFF position and then turn
it back ON.
If the áwarning light does not go out after a few seconds,
seek assistance from a Lancia Dealership.
