2010 Lancia Delta wheel

234CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre, including the spare wheel,
approximately once every two weeks and before starting
a long journey: this check must be performed with the tyre
rested and cold.
It is normal for the pressure to increase when the car is
used; for the correct tyre inflation pressure, see “Wheels”
in chapter “6”.
Incorrect tyre pressure causes abnormal tyre wear fig. 4:
A normal pressure: evenly worn tread;
B low pressure: tread particularly worn on the edges;
C excessive pressure: tread particularly worn in the mid-
dle.
fig. 4L0E0096m
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 coun-
try where you are driving.
IMPORTANT NOTES
❍Avoid braking suddenly, burning starts and violent
knocks against the curb, potholes or other obstacles
where 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 Dealership if
required;
❍do not overload your car: this may cause serious dam-
age to wheels and tyres;
❍if a tyre is punctured, stop immediately and change it
to avoid damage to the tyre, wheel rim, suspension and
steering system;

❍the tyre ages even if rarely used. Cracks in the tread and
on the sidewalls are a sign of ageing. Have the tyres
checked by specialised personnel if they have been fit-
ted for longer than 6 years. Remember to check the spare
wheel very carefully;
❍when replacing the tyres, always fit new tyres, avoid-
ing those of dubious origin;
❍if a tyre is changed, also change the inflation valve;
❍to allow even wear between the front and rear tyres,
it is advisable to change them over every 10-15 thou-
sand kilometres, keeping them on the same side of the
car so as not to reverse the direction of rotation.
Remember that the road holding qualities of
your car also depend on the correct inflation
pressure of the tyres.
If the pressure is too low the tyre will get
overheated, with the risk of serious damage
to the tyre.
Avoid moving the tyres from the right side of
the vehicle to the left side and vice versa.
Do not repaint alloy wheel rims at temper-
atures higher than 150°C. The mechanical
characteristics of the wheels might be dis-
rupted.

BODYWORK
PROTECTION FROM ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS
The main causes of corrosion are the following:
❍atmospheric pollution;
❍salty air and humidity (coastal areas, or hot humid cli-
mates);
❍seasonal environment conditions.
The abrasive action of wind-borne atmospheric dust and
sand, as well as mud and gravel raised by other cars is
also not to be underestimated.
On your car, Lancia has implemented the best manufac-
turing technologies to effectively protect the bodywork
against corrosion.These include:
❍painting products and systems which give the car par-
ticular resistance to corrosion and abrasion;
❍use of galvanised (or pre-treated) steel sheets, with high
resistance to corrosion;
❍spraying the underbody, engine compartment, wheel-
house internal parts and other parts with highly pro-
tective wax products;
❍spraying of plastic parts, with a protective function, in
the most exposed points: underdoor, inner wing parts,
edges, etc.;
❍use of “open” boxed sections to prevent condensation
and pockets of moisture from triggering rust inside.
BODY AND UNDERBODY WARRANTY
Your car is covered by warranty against perforation due
to rust of any original element of the structure or body.
For the general terms of this warranty, refer to the War-
ranty Booklet.
