REPLACING A WHEEL
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The car may be originally fitted with a space-saver wheel
(for versions/markets, where provided).
Wheel changing and correct use of the jack and spare
wheel call for some precautions as listed below.
The space-saver wheel (for versions/mar kets
where provided) is specific to your car, do not
use it on other models, or use the spare wheel
of other models on your car. The space-saver wheel
must only be used in case of emergency. Never use
it for more than strictly necessary and never exceed
80 km/h. On the space-saver wheel there is an or-
ange label, summarising the main warnings re-
garding space-saver wheel usage restrictions.
Never remove or cover the label. Never ap-
ply a hub cup on a space-saver wheel. The
following information is provided in four
languages on the label: IMPORTANT! FOR TEM-
PORARY USE ONLY! 80 KM/H MAX.! REPLACE
WITH STANDARD WHEEL AS SOON AS POS-
SIBLE. DO NOT COVER THIS LABEL.
If you change the type of wheel (alloy rims instead
of steel rims) you will have to change the entire set
of fastening bolts with another set of suitably sized
bolts.
Alert other drivers that the car is stationary
in compliance with local regulations: haz-
ard warning lights, warning triangle, etc.
Any passengers on board should leave the car, es-
pecially if it is heavily laden. Passengers should
stay away from on-coming traffic while the wheel
is being changed. If parked on a slope or rough sur-
face, chock the wheels with wedges or other suit-
able devices.

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;

❍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.

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.
