seats.

Proceed as follows:
❍stop the engine and engage the handbrake;
❍engage a gear (on a slope, engage first gear if the car

leave the wheels steered.
If the car is parked on a steep slope, it is also advisable
to block the wheels with a wedge or stone.
Do not leave the ignition key turned to MAR to prevent
draining the battery. Always remove the key when you
leave the car.
Never leave children in the unattended car. Always re-
move the ignition key when leaving the car and take it

placed with a new one of the same type;
❍no tool other than its cranking device may be fitted on

ground must be flat and sufficiently compact;
❍turn the engine off and engage the handbrake;

❍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

❍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.
