REPLACING FUSES
INTRODUCTION fig. 35
The fuse is a protective device for the
electric system: it comes into action
(i.e. it cuts off) mainly due to a fault
or improper action on the system.
Check the efficiency of the corre-
sponding fuse when a device does not
work: the conducting element Amust
not be interrupted. If it is, replace the
blown fuse with another with the
same amperage (same colour).
B: intact fuse
C: fuse with damaged filament.
Use the tongs Din the fusebox on the
dashboard to change a fuse.
fig. 35L0D0198m
If a fuse blows again, con-
tact a Lancia Dealership.
WARNING
Never replace a fuse with
another of higher amper-
age: FIRE RISK.
If a general protection fuse
(MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-
FUSE, MAXI-FUSE) blows, con-
tact your Lancia Dealership
WARNING
Remove the key from the
ignition switch and switch
off all loads before replacing a
fuse.
WARNING
If a general protection fuse
for safety systems (air bag
system, braking system), power
unit systems (engine system, trans-
mission system) or steering system
is triggered, contact a Lancia
Dealership.

FASTENING THE TOW RING
Proceed as follows:
❒take the tow hook Afrom the sup-
port;
❒tighten the ring on the rear fig. 46
or front fig. 45threaded pin.
fig. 45L0D0487m
fig. 46L0D0205m
The power brakes and
power steering will not
work while the car is being towed.
More effort on the brake pedal and
steering wheel will therefore be re-
quired. Do not use wires for tow-
ing. Do not jerk. Make sure not to
damage parts in contact with the
car while towing. Respect the spe-
cific rules of the Highway Code
when towing the car specifically in
relation to the towing device and
the behaviour to maintain on the
road.
WARNING
Before towing, turn the key
to MAR and then to STOP
without extracting it. The steering
column will automatically lock
when the key is removed and the
wheels cannot be steered.
WARNING
Do not start the engine
while towing the car.

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;

IMPORTANT Water, ice and salt sprinkled on the roads may deposit on the brake disks reducing braking efficiency the first time the
brakes are applied.
