INFLATION PROCEDURE
❒Ensure that the handbrake is
up. Undo the tyre valve cap, ex-
tract the inflation tube A-fig. 5and
tighten the ring nut Bon the tyre
valve;
fig. 5L0D0484m
Put on the protection
gloves provided together
with quick tyre repair kit.
WARNING
The cylinder contains
ethyl glycol. Contains la-
tex: may cause an allergic reaction.
Harmful if swallowed. Irritant for
the eye. May cause sensitization by
inhalation or contact. Avoid con-
tact with your eyes, skin and
clothes. In the event of contact,
wash immediately with plenty of
water. Do not induce vomit if swal-
lowed. Rinse your mouth and
drink plenty of water. Call a doc-
tor immediately. Keep away from
children. The product must not be
used by asthmatics. Do not breath
in the vapours during insertion and
suction. Call a doctor immediately
if allergic reactions are noted.
Store the cylinder in the specific
compartment, away from sources
of heat.
WARNING
❒make sure that the switch D-
fig. 6of the compressor is in posi-
tion0(off), start the engine, insert
plugA-fig. 7into the cigar lighter
(or 12V socket) and operate the
compressor by taking the switch
Dto position I(on). Inflate the
tyre to the pressure specified in the
“Inflation pressure” paragraph,
“Technical Specifications” chap-
ter.

For a more accurate reading,
check pressure gauge F-fig. 6with
the compressor off;
❒if after 5 minutes it is still impossi-
ble to reach at least 1.5 bar, disen-
gage compressor from valve and
current outlet, then move the car
forth for approx. ten metres in or-
der to distribute the sealing fluid
inside the tyre evenly, then repeat
the inflation operation;
❒If after this operation it is still im-
possible after 5 minutes to reach at
least 1.8 bar, do not start driving
since the tyre is excessively dam-
aged and the quick tyre repair kit
cannot guarantee suitable sealing,
contact Lancia Dealership.
fig. 8L0D0485m
Apply the adhesive label in
a position clearly visible
by the driver as a reminder that
the tyre has been treated with the
quick repair kit. Drive carefully,
particularly on bends. Do not ex-
ceed 80 km/h. Do not accelerate or
brake suddenly.
WARNING
Stop if the pressure has
dropped to less than 1.8
bars: the automatic Fix & Go quick
repair kit cannot work properly
because the tyre is excessively
damaged. Go to a Lancia Dealer-
ship.
WARNING
❒if reaching the tyre pressure speci-
fied in paragraph “Inflation pres-
sure” in section “Technical Specifi-
cations”, start driving immediately;
❒after driving for about 10 minutes
stop and check again the tyre pres-
sure; pull up the handbrake;
❒if at least 1.8 bar pressure is read,
restore proper pressure (with en-
gine running and handbrake on)
and restart;
❒drive with the utmost care to the
nearest Lancia Dealership.
FOR CHECKING AND
RESTORING PRESSURE ONLY
The compressor may also be used for
restoring pressure only. Release the
quick coupling and connect directly
to the tyre valve; in this way, the
cylinder will not be connected to the
compressor and no sealant will be in-
jected.

The driving features of the
car may change when a
space saver spare wheel is fitted.
Avoid sudden acceleration and
braking, sudden steering and fast
cornering. The total life of a space
saver spare wheel is approxi-
mately 3000 km, after which it
must be replaced by another wheel
of the same type. Never install a
traditional tyre on a space saver
spare wheel rim. Repair and refit
the standard wheel as soon as pos-
sible. Only one space saver spare
can be used at a time. Do not ap-
ply grease to the bolt threading be-
fore assembly: the bolts could come
loose unexpectedly.
WARNING
The jack may only be used
to replace wheels on the
car which it equips or other cars of
the same model. Never use the jack
for other purposes, such as lifting
other car models. Never use the
jack to carry out repairs under the
car. Incorrect positioning of the
jack may cause the car to fall. Do
not use the jack for loads higher
than those shown on the label.
Snow chains cannot be fitted on a
space saver spare wheel. There-
fore, if a front wheel (drive wheel)
is punctured and you need to use
snow chains, swap with a rear
wheel. In this way, you will have
two normal wheels on the front on
which you can fit snow chains and
solve the emergency.
WARNING
Incorrect wheel cup as-
sembly may cause it to
come off when the car is travelling.
Never tamper with the inflation
valve. Never introduce tools of any
kind between rim and tyre. Check
tyre and space saver spare wheel
pressure regularly referring to the
values shown in the “Technical
Specifications” chapter.

MAINTENANCE
AND CARE
IMPORTANT A battery which is kept
at a charge of less than 50% (optical
indicator with dark colour without
green area in the middle) for any
length of time will be damaged by sul-
phation leading to a reduction in
cranking power.
The battery will also be more at risk
of freezing (e.g. already at -10°C).
In case of prolonged halt, refer to the
“Storing the car” paragraph in the
“Starting and driving” chapter.
If after buying the car, you want to in-
stall electric accessories which require
permanent electric supply (alarm,
etc.) contact Lancia Dealership whose
qualified personnel, in addition to
suggesting the most suitable devices
from Lineaccessori Lancia, will eval-
uate the overall electric absorption,
checking whether the car’s electric
system is capable of withstanding the
load required, or whether it should be
integrated with a more powerful bat-
tery.
Since these devices continue absorb-
ing energy even when the ignition key
is off, they gradually run down the
battery.WHEELS AND
TYRES
Check the pressure of each type, in-
cluding the spare, approximately once
every two weeks and before starting a
long journey: this check must be per-
formed with the tyre rested and cold.
It is normal for pressure to increase
when the car is used. For the correct
tyre inflation pressure, see “Wheels”
in “Technical specifications” section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal
tyre wearfig. 15:
A: normal pressure: evenly worn
tread.
B: low pressure: tread particularly
worn on the edges.
C: excessive pressure: tread particu-
larly worn in the middle.
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
country where you are driving.IMPORTANT NOTES
❒Avoid braking suddenly, burning
starts and violent knocks against
the curb, potholes or other obsta-
cles if 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 vehicle: this
may cause serious damage to
wheels and tyres;
❒if a tyre is punctured, stop the ve-
hicle immediately and charge it to
avoid damage to the tyre, the rim,
suspensions and steering system;

AND CARE
❒a tyre will age even if it is not used
much. Cracks in the tread and on
the sidewalls are a sign of ageing.
Have the tyres checked by spe-
cialised personnel if they have been
fitted for longer than 6 years. Re-
member to check the spare wheel
very carefully;
❒In case of replacement, always fit
new tyres, avoiding those with an
unknown origin.
❒If a tyre is replaced, 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
thousand 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 depends on the correct in-
flation pressure of the tyres.
WARNING
Excessively low pressure
will cause overheating of
the tyre and may cause severe tyre
damage.
WARNING
Do not exchange the tyres
from the left to the right of
the car and vice versa.
WARNING
Do not repaint alloy wheel
rims at temperatures
higher than 150°C. The mechani-
cal features of the wheels could be
compromised.
WARNING
RUBBER HOSES
Carefully follow the information con-
tained in the “Service schedule” in
this section for maintenance of brake
system and fuel feed rubber hoses.
Ozone, high temperatures and pro-
longed lack of fluid in the system may
cause hardening and cracking of the
hoses, with possible leaks. Careful in-
spections are therefore necessary.
