2011 Lancia Ypsilon wheel

WARNING
If you change the type of wheel (alloy
rims instead of
steel rims and vice
versa) you will have to change the entire set
of fastening bolts with another set of suitably
sized bolts.
WARNING
Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance
with local
regulations: hazard warning lights, warning
triangle, etc. Any passengers on board
should leave the car, especially if it is
heavily laden. Passengers should stay away
from on-coming traffic while the wheel is
being changed. On hills or uneven roads, use
chocks or appropriate objects to block the
wheels of the car.
WARNING
The car's driving characteristics will
be modified with
the space-saver
wheel fitted. Avoid sudden starting or
stopping, sharp or fast turns. 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 install
a standard tyre on a rim that is designed
for use with a space-saver wheel. Have the
tyre repaired and refitted as soon as
possible. Using two or more space-saver
wheels at the same time is forbidden. Do not
grease the threads of bolts before fitting
them: they might slip out.

WARNING
The jack provided is only intended to
be used for
replacing tyres on the
car with which it is supplied, or on
same-model vehicles. Never use the jack for
other purposes, such as lifting other car
models. Never use it for repair operations
under the car. Incorrectly positioning the
jack may cause the car to fall. Do not use the
jack for loads higher than the one shown
on its label. Never install snow chains on the
space-saver wheel; if a front tyre (driving
wheel) is punctured and you need to use
snow chains, use a standard wheel from the
rear axle and install the space-saver wheel
on the rear axle. In this way, with two
normal drive wheels, it is possible to use
snow chains.
WARNING
Fit the wheel cap correctly to prevent
it from coming
free in motion. Never
tamper with the inflating valve. Never
introduce tools of any kind between rim and
tyre. Check tyre and space-saver wheel
pressures regularly, referring to the values
shown in the "Technical specifications"
section.JACK
Important notes:
❒the jack weight is 1,76 kg;
❒the jack requires no adjustment;
❒the jack cannot be repaired and in the event of a
fault it must be replaced by another original
one;
❒no tool other than its cranking device may be
fitted on the jack.
To change a wheel proceed as follows:
❒Stop the car in a position that is not dangerous
for oncoming traffic where you can change the
wheel safely. The ground must be flat and
sufficiently compact;
❒switch off the engine, pull up the handbrake
and engage the 1
stgear or the reverse gear.
Wear the reflective safety jacket (compulsory by
law in certain countries) before getting out of
the car;
❒open the luggage compartment, pull tab A fig.
111 and lift up the mat;
❒using the wrench A fig. 112 located in the tool
box, loosen the locking device, take the tool
box B and place it close to the wheel to be
replaced. Then take the space-saver wheel C;
❒take the wrench A fig. 113 and loosen the fixing
bolts by about one turn. For versions with alloy
rims, shake the car to facilitate detachment of
the rim from the wheel hub.

raised; all persons should be kept away from the
car until it has been lowered;
❒fit handle D fig. 114 into the housing in device
A, operate the jack and raise the car until the
wheel is a few centimetres from the ground;
❒remove the wheel cap after loosening the 3
fixing bolts and finally loosen the fourth bolt
and extract the wheel (only for versions with
wheel caps fixed by bolts);
❒make sure the contact surfaces between
space-saver wheel and hub are clean so that the
fastening bolts will not come loose;
❒fit the space-saver wheel by inserting the first
bolt for two threads into the hole closest to the
valve;
❒take the wrench A fig. 113 and fully tighten the

❒operate the jack handle D to lower the car. Then
extract the jack;
❒use the wrench A provided to fully tighten the
bolts in a criss-cross fashion as per the order
illustrated in fig. 116;❒when replacing an alloy wheel it is advisable to
place it upside down, with the aesthetic part
facing upwards.
Restore the standard wheel as soon as possible,
because, once placed in the associated
compartment, the luggage compartment load
platform is rendered uneven as the standard wheel
is larger than the spare wheel.

WARNING
Before towing, turn the ignition key to
MAR and then
to STOP without
removing it. The steering column will
automatically lock when the key is removed
and the wheels cannot be steered.
WARNING
Before tightening the hook clean the
threaded housing thoroughly
. Make
sure that the hook is fully fastened in the
housing before towing the car.
WARNING
Whilst towing, remember that as the
assistance of the
brake servo and
the electric power assisted steering is not
available, greater force needs to be exerted
on the brake pedal and more effort is
required on the steering wheel. Do not use
flexible cables when towing and avoid jerky
movements. During towing, make sure that
the trailer hitch does not damage any
components it is touching. When towing the
car, it is compulsory to respect specific
highway code regulations relating to the tow
hook and procedures for towing on the
road. Do not start the engine while towing
the car.
