SNOW TYRES
Use snow tyres of the same size as the
normal tyres provided with the car.
Lancia Dealership will be happy to
provide advice concerning the most
suitable type of tyre for the customer’s
requirements.
For the type of tyre to be used, infla-
tion pressures and the specifications
of snow tyres, follow the instructions
given in paragraph “Wheels” in sec-
tion “Technical specifications”.
The performance of these tyres is con-
siderably reduced when the tread
depth is less than 4 mm. Replace
them in this case.Due to their specific features, the per-
formance of snow tyres is much lower
than that of normal types in normal
conditions or long motorway
stretches. Limit performance accord-
ing the use for which they were ap-
proved.
IMPORTANT When snow tyres are
used with a max speed index below
the one that can be reached by the car
(increased by 5%), place a notice in
the passenger’s compartment, plainly
in the driver’s view which states the
max permissible speed of the snow
tyres (as per EC Directive).
All four tyres should be the same
(brand and track) to ensure greater
safety when driving and braking and
better driveability.
Remember that it is inappropriate to
change the direction of rotation of
tyres.The top speed of a “T”
type snow tyre is 190
km/h. Respect the highway code in
all cases.

SNOW CHAINS
Use of snow chains should be in com-
pliance with local regulations.
The snow chains may be applied only
onto the front wheel tyres (drive
wheels). Use of Lineaccessori Lancia
snow chains is recommended.
Check the tension of the chains after
the first few metres have been driven.
IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be
fitted on the space saver wheel. In
case of puncture to a front tyre, re-
place a rear wheel using the space
saver spare and fit the normal size
wheel on the front axle. In this way,
you can fit snow chains on the two
front wheels.
The tyres which are suitable for fitting snow chains and the type
of chain which can be used are shown in the table above. Follow
indications carefully.
Keep your speed down when snow chains are fitted. Do not
exceed 50 km/h. Avoid potholes, steps and pavements and
also avoid driving long distances on roads not covered with
snow in order to prevent damaging the car and the roadbed.
Tyres suitable for fitting Chain typesnow chains to be used
185/65 R14 86T
195/60 R15 88T
Chains cannot be fitted on
205/50 R16 87V tyres.
WARNING
Normal size snow chains
with maximum protrusion beyond tyre
profile equal to 12 mm.

should go out as soon as the engine is
started.
If the warning light stays on or turns

haust, possible lack of performance,
poor handling and high consumption
levels.
The display will show a dedicated

In these conditions, you may continue
travelling at moderate speed without
demanding excessive effort from the
engine. Go to a Lancia Dealership as

BUMP STARTING
Never bump 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 servo and the electric power
steering system are not activated un-
til the engine is started, a greater ef-
fort will therefore be required to press
the brake pedal or turn the steering
wheel.
Indicate that the car is
standing according to the
laws in force: emergency lights, re-
fracting warning triangle, etc. Pas-
sengers should leave the car, partic-
ularly if it is very loaded, and wait
for the wheel to be changed away
from on-coming traffic. Arrange
wedges or other suitable material
under the wheels to block the car on
slopes or rough roads.
