SNOW CHAINS
Use of snow chains should be in com-
pliance with local regulations.
The snow chains may be applied only
onto the front wheel tyres (drive
wheels). Use of Lineaccessori Lancia
snow chains is recommended.
Check the tension of the chains after
the first few metres have been driven.
IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be
fitted on the space saver wheel. In
case of puncture to a front tyre, re-
place a rear wheel using the space
saver spare and fit the normal size
wheel on the front axle. In this way,
you can fit snow chains on the two
front wheels.
The tyres which are suitable for fitting snow chains and the type
of chain which can be used are shown in the table above. Follow
indications carefully.
Keep your speed down when snow chains are fitted. Do not
exceed 50 km/h. Avoid potholes, steps and pavements and
also avoid driving long distances on roads not covered with
snow in order to prevent damaging the car and the roadbed.
Tyres suitable for fitting Chain typesnow chains to be used
185/65 R14 86T
195/60 R15 88T
Chains cannot be fitted on
205/50 R16 87V tyres.
WARNING
Normal size snow chains
with maximum protrusion beyond tyre
profile equal to 12 mm.

STARTING
AND DRIVING
IN AN
EMERGENCY
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.
