2011 Lancia Delta wheel

194IN AN EMERGENCY
The driving characteristics of the car may
change when a space-saver wheel is fitted.
Avoid sudden acceleration and braking, sud-
den steering and fast cornering. The total life of
a space-saver wheel is approximately 3000 km,
after which it must be replaced by another wheel of
the same type. Never attempt to fit a conventional
tyre on a rim designed for use as a space-saver
wheel. Have the punctured wheel repaired and re-
placed as soon as possible. Two or more space-
saver wheels should never be used together. Do not
apply grease to the bolt threads before assembly:
they might spontaneously unscrew.The jack can only be used for changing
wheels on the car with which it is provided or
on cars of the same model Never use the jack
for other purposes, such as lifting other car models.
In no case should it be used for repairs under the
car. Incorrect positioning of the jack may cause the
jacked car to fall. Do not use the jack for loads
higher than those shown on the label. Snow chains
cannot be fitted to the space-saver wheel. So, if
a front (drive) wheel is punctured and chains are
needed, a rear wheel should be fitted to the front of
the car and the space-saver wheel should be fitted
to the rear. This way, with two normal front driving
wheels, you can install the snow chains on them,
thus resolving the emergency.
If the hub cap is not installed properly, it
may detach when the vehicle is running.
Never tamper with the inflation valve. Never
introduce tools of any kind between rim and tyre.
Regularly check tyre and space-saver wheel pres-
sure, complying with the data in the chapter “6”.

REMOVING THE SUBWOOFER
(versions with Bose HI-FI)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
IMPORTANT The following procedure only applies to
cars equipped with Bose HI-FI systems with subwoofer
(for versions/markets, where provided).
SUBWOOFER AND SPACE-SAVER WHEEL
Proceed as follows to remove the Subwoofer:
❍open the luggage compartment, pull tab A-fig. 10 and
lift up the mat;
❍undo locking device A-fig. 8 and lift up the Sub-
woofer. Then remove connection cable B from velcro
attachment C;❍rest the Subwoofer to one side in the luggage com-
partment, remove the container and take out the
space-saver wheel;
❍change the wheel as described in this chapter.
After tyre replacement:
❍reposition the container and place the Subwoofer on
top of it, taking care to position it according to the in-
structions on the container (fig. 9) so that the arrow
on the spacer is pointing in the direction of travel;
❍rest cable B-fig. 8 on velcro attachment C to avoid
pinching it. Then tighten locking device A-fig. 8.
Lower the luggage compartment mat.

TAKING OUT THE SPACE-SAVER WHEEL
Please note that:
❍the jack weight is 1.76 kg;
❍the jack requires no adjustment;
❍the jack cannot be repaired; if it breaks, it must be re-
placed with a new one of the same type;
❍no tool other than its cranking device may be fitted on
the jack.
To change a wheel proceed as follows:
❍stop the car where it is not a danger to other road
users and you can replace the wheel safely. The
ground must be flat and sufficiently compact;
❍turn the engine off and engage the handbrake;
❍engage first gear or reverse;
❍lift up the luggage compartment mat using handle A-
fig. 10 (in the presence of a double load platform, first
lift the upper cover and then the luggage compart-
ment mat);
❍unscrew the locking device B-fig. 10;
❍take out the tool box C and place it next to the wheel
to be changed;
❍remove the space saver wheel D-fig. 10;
❍use the provided screwdriver to remove the hub cap,
levering the dedicated opening on the outer edge;

❍in the presence of a double load compartment, lift the
double compartment mat and attach it to the luggage
compartment mat as shown in fig. 10;
❍for cars fitted with alloy wheels, remove the press-fit-
ted hub cap using the screwdriver provided;
❍loosen the fixing bolts for the wheel to be changed by
about one turn using the spanner provided E-fig. 11;
❍turn the jack handle to partially open it;
❍position the jack near the wheel to be replaced at the
reference point
Oon the side member;
❍make sure that the splines F-fig. 12 on the jack are
firmly fitted to tab G on the side member;
fig. 11L0E0082mfig. 12L0E0083m

198IN AN EMERGENCY
❍warn anybody nearby that the car is about to be lifted.
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 jack handle make sure
that it can turn freely without scraping your hand
against the ground. The moving components of the
jack (screws and joints) can also cause injuries: avoid
touching them. If you become soiled with the lubri-
cating grease, wash it off thoroughly;
❍make sure the contact surfaces on the space-saver
wheel are clean so that the retaining bolts will not
come loose;
❍fit the space-saver wheel, aligning pins T-fig. 13 with
one of the openings A 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 illustrated
in fig. 13.

REFITTING THE STANDARD WHEEL
Following the procedure described previously, raise the
car and remove the space saver spare wheel.
Versions with steel rims
Proceed as follows:
❍make sure the contact surfaces between standard
wheel and hub are clean so that the fastening bolts
will not come loose;
❍fit the standard wheel inserting the 4 bolts into the
holes;
❍using the wrench provided, tighten the fastening bolts;
❍press-fit the hub cap, aligning the special splining (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.Versions with alloy wheels
❍Place the wheel onto the hub and tighten the bolts us-
ing the wrench provided;
❍lower the car and remove the jack;
❍using the spanner provided, fully tighten the bolts in
the sequence shown in fig. 8;
❍refit the press-fitted hub cap, making sure that the
reference hole on the wheel is aligned with the refer-
ence pin on the cap.
IMPORTANT If it is not fitted properly, the hub cap may
detach when the vehicle is running.

200IN AN EMERGENCY
After tyre replacement
❍Stow the space saver wheel D-fig. 10 in the space pro-
vided in the luggage compartment;
❍fit the partially open jack in its box forcing it lightly
to prevent it from vibrating when travelling;
❍put the tools back into place in the container;
❍stow the container, complete with tools, in the spare
wheel and tighten the locking device B-fig. 10;
❍reposition the boot mat correctly.
IMPORTANT Do not use inner tubes with tubeless tyres.
Check the inflation pressure of the tyres and the space-
saving wheel periodically.CHANGING A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❍Before changing a bulb, check the contacts for rust-
ing;
❍burnt-out bulbs must be replaced by others of the
same type and wattage;
❍always check the alignment of the beam after chang-
ing a headlight bulb;
❍when a light is not working, check that the corre-
sponding fuse is intact before changing a bulb. For the
location of fuses, refer to the paragraph “Replacing
fuses” in this chapter.
Modifications or repairs to the electric sys-
tem that are not carried out properly or do
not take the system technical specifications
into account can cause malfunctions leading to the
risk of fire.
Various fastening bolts and space-saver
wheels, specific and differing in structural
characteristics, are used depending on the
wheel rim type (alloy or steel). Fastening bolts for
alloy rims can be identified by the presence of a per-
manent washer and a hollow side on the bolt head.
Therefore, you will need to go to a Lancia Dealer-
ship to get the correct type of fastening bolts and
space saver wheel if you change the type of wheels
fitted (alloy rims instead of steel rims, or vice
versa). Keep the bolts fitted as standard in case of
re-use of the wheels originally mounted on the car.
