2013 Lancia Ypsilon Owner handbook (in English)

WARNING
The jack provided is only intended to
be used for replacing tyres on the
car with which it is supplied, or on
same-model vehicles. Never use the jack for
other purposes, such as lifting other car
models. Never use it for repair operations
under the car. Incorrectly positioning the
jack may cause the car to fall. Do not use the
jack for loads higher than the one shown
on its label. Never install snow chains on the
space-saver wheel; if a front tyre (driving
wheel) is punctured and you need to use
snow chains, use a standard wheel from the
rear axle and install the space-saver wheel
on the rear axle. In this way, with two
normal drive wheels, it is possible to use
snow chains.
WARNING
Fit the wheel cap correctly to prevent
it from coming free in motion. Never
tamper with the inflating valve. Never
introduce tools of any kind between rim and
tyre. Check tyre and space-saver wheel
pressures regularly, referring to the values
shown in the "Technical specifications"
section.JACK
Important notes:
❒the jack weight is 1,76 kg;
❒the jack requires no adjustment;
❒the jack cannot be repaired and in the event of a
fault it must be replaced by another original
one;
❒no tool other than its cranking device may be
fitted on the jack.

❒use the wrench A provided to fully tighten the
bolts in a criss-cross fashion as per the order
illustrated in fig. 120;
❒when replacing an alloy wheel it is advisable to
place it upside down, with the aesthetic part
facing upwards.Restore the standard wheel as soon as possible,
because, once placed in the associated
compartment, the luggage compartment load
platform is rendered uneven as the standard wheel
is larger than the spare wheel.
REFITTING THE STANDARD WHEEL
Following the procedure described previously,
raise the car and remove the space-saver wheel.
Versions with steel rims
Proceed as follows:
❒make sure the contact surfaces between
standard wheel and hub are clean so that the
fastening bolts will not come loose;
❒fit the standard wheel inserting the 4 bolts into
the holes;
❒using the wrench provided, tighten the fastening
bolts; ❒press-fit the hub cap, aligning the special
splining (on the cap) with the inflation valve;
❒lower the car and remove the jack;
❒using the wrench provided, fully tighten the
bolts in the sequence shown previously.
