be started using an auxiliary battery
with the same capacity or a little
higher than the flat one.
Proceed as follows to start the engine:
❒connect the positive terminals (+
sign near terminal) of both batter-
ies using a lead;
❒With a second lead, connect the
negative terminal (–) of the auxil-
iary battery to an earthing point E
on the engine or the gearbox of the
car to be started;
❒start the engine;
❒when the engine has been started,
remove the leads reversing the or-
der above. If engine fails to start
again do not attempt any further
and call a Lancia Dealership. To reopen the doors:

If after a few attempts the engine does
not start, do not insist but contact the
nearest Lancia Dealership.
IMPORTANT Never connect the neg-
ative terminals of the two batteries di-
rectly: sparks could ignite explosive
gas released from the battery. If the
auxiliary battery is installed on an-
other car, prevent accidental contact
between metallic parts of the two cars.
fig. 2L0D0396m
This procedure must be
performed by expert per-
sonnel because incorrect actions
may cause electrical discharge of
considerable intensity. Further-
more, battery fluid is poisonous
and corrosive: avoid contact with
your skin and eyes. Keep naked
flames away from the battery. No
smoking. Do not cause sparks.
WARNING
Never use a rapid battery
charger to jump start the
engine: this could damage
the electronic systems and
the engine ignition and injection
control units.

BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by push-
ing, towing or driving downhill. This
could cause a flow of fuel into the cat-
alytic converter and damage it beyond
repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the
brake servo and the electric power
steering system are not activated un-
til the engine is started, a greater ef-
fort will therefore be required to press
the brake pedal or turn the steering
wheel.
Indicate that the car is
standing according to the
laws in force: emergency lights, re-
fracting warning triangle, etc. Pas-
sengers should leave the car, partic-
ularly if it is very loaded, and wait
for the wheel to be changed away
from on-coming traffic. Arrange
wedges or other suitable material
under the wheels to block the car on
slopes or rough roads.

ments.
The quick repair kit container in the
boot under the mat also contains the
screwdriver and tow rings.
Give the instruction book-
let to the tyre repair work-
shop personnel.
WARNING
IMPORTANT Do not use the quick
repair kit if the tyre was damaged by
running on a flat.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
The sealing fluid of the quick tyre re-
pair kit is effective with external tem-
peratures between 20 °C –and
+50 °C.
The sealing fluid will expire.
The kit cannot be used to
repair damage to the tyre
sidewall. Do not use the quick re-
pair kit if the tyre was damaged by
running on a flat.
The damage cannot be repaired
with the kit if the wheel rim is
damaged (deformation of the chan-
nel causing leakage of air). Do not
remove the foreign body (screw or
nail) from the tyre.
Do not operate the compressor for
longer than 20 consecutive min-
utes. Risk of overheating. The
quick repair kit is not suitable for
definitive repairs. The tyres may
only be repaired temporarily.
WARNING
In the event of a puncture
caused by foreign bodies,
the kit may be used to re-
pair tyres showing dam-
ages on the track or shoulder up to
max 4 mm diameter.
Replace the cylinder con-
taining the sealant after the
expiration date. Dispose of
the cylinder and the sealant

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.
