2013 Lancia Flavia engine

2.
Remove the Speed Limit sticker
from the top of the Sealant Bottle (1)
and place the sticker on the instrument
panel.
3. Immediately disconnect the Seal-
ant Hose (6) from the valve stem,
reinstall the cap on the fitting at the
end of the hose, and place the TIRE-
FIT kit in the vehicle storage location.
Quickly proceed to (D) “Drive Ve-
hicle”.CAUTION!
 The metal end fitting from Power Plug (8) may get hot after use, so
it should be handled carefully.
 Failure to reinstall the cap on the
fitting at the end of the Sealant
Hose (6) can result in sealant
contacting your skin, clothing,
and the vehicle’s interior. It can
also result in sealant contacting
internal TIREFIT kit components
which may cause permanent
damage to the kit. (A) Whenever You Stop To Use
TIREFIT:
1.
Pull over to a safe location and turn
on the vehicle’s Hazard Warning flash-
ers.
2.
Verify that the valve stem (on the
wheel with the deflated tire) is in a
position that is near to the ground. This
will allow the TIREFIT Hoses (6) and
(7) to reach the valve stem and keep the
TIREFIT kit flat on the ground. This
will provide the best positioning of the
kit when injecting the sealant into the
deflated tire and running the air pump.
Move the vehicle as necessary to place
the valve stem in this position before
proceeding.
3. Place the transmission in PARK
(auto transmission) or in Gear
(manual transmission) and turn Off
the ignition.
4. Set the parking brake. (B) Setting Up To Use TIREFIT:
1. Turn the Mode Select Knob (5) to
the Sealant Mode position.
2. Uncoil the Sealant Hose (6) and
then remove the cap from the fitting
at the end of the hose.
3. Place the TIREFIT kit flat on the
ground next to the deflated tire.
4. Remove the cap from the valve
stem and then screw the fitting at the
end of the Sealant Hose (6) onto the
valve stem.
5. Uncoil the Power Plug (8) and in-
sert the plug into the vehicle’s 12 Volt
power outlet.
NOTE: Do not remove foreign ob-
jects (e.g., screws or nails) from the
tire.
(C) Injecting TIREFIT Sealant
Into The Deflated Tire:
 Always start the engine before
turning ON the TIREFIT kit.
176

NOTE:
Manual transmission ve-
hicles must have the parking brake
engaged and the shift lever in NEU-
TRAL.
After pressing the Power Button (4),
the sealant (white fluid) will flow
from the Sealant Bottle (1) through
the Sealant Hose (6) and into the
tire.NOTE: Sealant may leak out
through the puncture in the tire.
If the sealant (white fluid) does not
flow within 0 – 10 seconds through
the Sealant Hose (6):
1. Press the Power Button (4) to turn
Off the TIREFIT kit. Disconnect the
Sealant Hose (6) from the valve stem.
Make sure the valve stem is free of
debris. Reconnect the Sealant
Hose (6) to the valve stem. Check that
the Mode Select Knob (5) is in the
Sealant Mode position and not Air
Mode. Press the Power Button (4) to
turn On the TIREFIT kit. 2. Connect the Power Plug (8) to a
different 12 Volt power outlet in your
vehicle or another vehicle, if avail-
able. Make sure the engine is running
before turning ON the TIREFIT kit.
3.
The Sealant Bottle (1) may be empty
due to previous use. Call for assistance.
NOTE: If the Mode Select
Knob (5) is on Air Mode and the
pump is operating, air will dis-
pense from the Air Pump Hose (7)
only, not the Sealant Hose (6).
If the sealant (white fluid) does
flow through the Sealant Hose (6):
1.
Continue to operate the pump until
sealant is no longer flowing through
hose (typically takes 30 - 70 seconds).
As the sealant flows through the Sealant
Hose (6), the Pressure Gauge (3) can
read as high as 70 psi (5 Bar). The
Pressure Gauge (3) will decrease
quickly from approximately 70 psi
(5 Bar) to the actual tire pressure when
the Sealant Bottle (1) is empty.
2. The pump will start to inject air
into the tire immediately after the
Sealant Bottle (1) is empty. Continue
to operate the pump and inflate the
tire to the pressure indicated on the
tire pressure label on the driver-side
latch pillar (recommended pressure).
Check the tire pressure by looking at
the Pressure Gauge (3).
If the tire does not inflate to at least
26 psi (1.8 Bar) pressure within
15 minutes:
 The tire is too badly damaged. Do
not attempt to drive the vehicle fur-
ther. Call for assistance.
NOTE: If the tire becomes over-
inflated, press the Deflation But-
ton to reduce the tire pressure to
the recommended inflation pres-
sure before continuing.

PREPARATIONS FOR
JUMP-START
The battery in your vehicle is located
between the left front headlight as-
sembly and the left front wheel splash
shield. To allow jump-starting there
are remote battery posts located on
the left side of the engine compart-
ment.
WARNING!
 Take care to avoid the radiatorcooling fan whenever the hood is
raised. It can start anytime the
ignition switch is ON. You can be
injured by moving fan blades.
 Remove any metal jewelry such
as watch bands or bracelets that
might make an inadvertent elec-
trical contact. You could be seri-
ously injured.
 Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your skin or eyes
and generate hydrogen gas which
is flammable and explosive. Keep
open flames or sparks away from
the battery.
1. Set the parking brake, shift the
automatic transmission into PARK
and turn the ignition to LOCK.
2. Turn off the heater, radio, and all
unnecessary electrical accessories. 3. Remove the protective cover over
the remote positive
(+)battery post.
To remove the cover, press the locking
tab and pull upward on the cover.
4. If using another vehicle to jump-
start the battery, park the vehicle
within the jumper cables reach, set
the parking brake and make sure the
ignition is OFF.
WARNING!
Do not allow vehicles to touch each
other as this could establish a
ground connection and personal in-
jury could result.

JUMP-STARTING
PROCEDUREWARNING!
Failure to follow this procedure
could result in personal injury or
property damage due to battery ex-
plosion.CAUTION!
Failure to follow these procedures
could result in damage to the
charging system of the booster ve-
hicle or the discharged vehicle.
1. Connect the positive (+)end of the
jumper cable to the remote posi-
tive (+)post of the discharged vehicle.
2. Connect the opposite end of the
positive (+)jumper cable to the posi-
tive (+)post of the booster battery.
3. Connect the negative end (-)of the
jumper cable to the negative (-)post
of the booster battery. 4. Connect the opposite end of the
negative
(-)jumper cable to the re-
mote negative (-)post of the vehicle
with the discharged battery.
WARNING!
Do not connect the cable to the
negative post (-)of the discharged
battery. The resulting electrical
spark could cause the battery to
explode and could result in per-
sonal injury.
5. Start the engine in the vehicle that
has the booster battery, let the engine
idle a few minutes, and then start the
engine in the vehicle with the dis-
charged battery.
Once the engine is started, remove the
jumper cables in the reverse sequence:
6. Disconnect the negative (-)jumper
cable from the remote negative (-)
post of the vehicle with the discharged
battery. 7. Disconnect the negative end
(-)of
the jumper cable from the negative (-)
post of the booster battery.
8. Disconnect the opposite end of the
positive (+)jumper cable from the
positive (+)post of the booster bat-
tery.
9. Disconnect the positive (+)end of
the jumper cable from the remote
positive (+)post of the discharged ve-
hicle.
10. Reinstall the protective cover
over the remote positive (+)battery
post of the discharged vehicle.
If frequent jump-starting is required
to start your vehicle, you should have
the battery and charging system in-
spected at your authorized dealer.
181

CAUTION!Accessories that can be plugged into
the vehicle power outlets draw power
from the vehicle’s battery, even when
not in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.).
Eventually, if plugged in long
enough, the vehicle’s battery will dis-
charge sufficiently to degrade battery
life and/or prevent the engine from
starting.FREEING A STUCK
VEHICLE
If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud,
sand, or snow, it can often be moved
using a rocking motion. Turn the
steering wheel right and left to clear
the area around the front wheels.Then shift back and forth between
DRIVE and REVERSE, while gently
pressing the accelerator. Use the least
amount of accelerator pedal pressure
that will maintain the rocking motion,
without spinning the wheels, or racing
the engine.
CAUTION!
Racing the engine or spinning the
wheels may lead to transmission
overheating and failure. Allow the
engine to idle with the transmission
in NEUTRAL for at least one min-
ute after every five rocking-motion
cycles. This will minimize over-
heating and reduce the risk of
transmission failure during pro-
longed efforts to free a stuck ve-
hicle.NOTE:
Press the "ESC Off" switch,
to place the Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system in "Partial Off"
mode, before rocking the vehicle.
Refer to “Electronic Brake Control”
in “Starting And Operating” for fur-
ther information. Once the vehicle
has been freed, press the "ESC Off"
switch again to restore "ESC On"
mode.
CAUTION!
 When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by shifting between DRIVE and
REVERSE, do not spin the
wheels faster than 24 km/h, or
drivetrain damage may result.
 Revving the engine or spinning
the wheels too fast may lead to
transmission overheating and
failure. It can also damage the
tires. Do not spin the wheels
above 48 km/h while in gear (no
transmission shifting occurring).
182

WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be danger-
ous. Forces generated by excessive
wheel speeds may cause damage, or
even failure, of the axle and tires. A
tire could explode and injure some-
one. Do not spin your vehicle's
wheels faster than 48 km/h or for
longer than 30 seconds continu-
ously without stopping when you
are stuck and do not let anyone
near a spinning wheel, no matter
what the speed.SHIFT LEVER
OVERRIDE
If a malfunction occurs and the shift
lever cannot be moved out of the
PARK position, you can use the fol-
lowing procedure to temporarily
move the shift lever:
1. Turn the engine OFF.
2. Firmly apply the parking brake.
3. Remove the rubber cupholder
liner. Squeeze one side of the liner's
center to expose its edge and facilitate
removal.
4. Turn the ignition to the ACC or
ON/RUN position, but do not start the
engine.
5. Press and maintain firm pressure
on the brake pedal. 6. Insert a screwdriver or similar tool
into the access hole (at the front of the
cupholder) and push and hold the
override release lever forward.
7. Move the shift lever into the NEU-
TRAL position.
8. The vehicle may then be started in
NEUTRAL.
9. Reinstall the cupholder liner.
