Punctures caused by foreign bodies can be re-
paired if the damage does not exceed 4 mm
on the tread and on the shoulder of the tyre. Give the booklet to the personnel who will be
handling the tyre treated with the repair kit. Punctures on the sides of the tyre cannot be
repaired. Do not use the quick tyre repair kit
if the tyre is damaged as the vehicle has run
on a flat tyre.If the wheel rim is damaged (the channel is
so deformed as to cause air leakage) it can-
not be repaired. Do not remove foreign bod-
ies (screws or nails) from the tyre.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The sealant of the quick tyre repair kit is effective with
external temperatures between –20°C and +50°C.
The sealant has an expiry date.
Never operate the compressor for longer than
20 consecutive minutes. Risk of overheating.
The quick tyre repair kit is not suitable for a
definitive repair. Tyres may only be repaired tem-
porarily.

tains latex that might cause allergic reac-
tions. It is harmful if swallowed. It is irri-
tant for the eyes. It may cause sensitisation if in-
haled or on contact. Avoid contact with eyes, skin
and clothes. In the event of contact, wash immedi-
ately with plenty of water. Do not induce vomiting
if swallowed. Rinse your mouth and drink plenty of
water. Call a doctor immediately. Keep out of the
reach of children. The product must not be used by
asthmatics. Do not breathe in the vapours during
insertion and suction. Call a doctor immediately if
allergic reactions are noted. Store the bottle in the

❍make sure that switch C - fig. 5 for the compressor is
in position 0 (off), start the engine, insert pin E - fig.
5a into the power socket and switch on the compres-
sor by placing switch C - fig. 5 in position I (on);
❍inflate the tyre to the pressure specified in the “Infla-
tion pressure” paragraph, in chapter “6”. For a more
accurate reading, check pressure value on pressure
gauge D - fig. 5 with the compressor off;
❍if after 5 minutes you cannot reach at least 1.5 bar, un-
plug the compressor from the valve and the power
socket, then move the car forward about 10 metres in
order to distribute the sealant inside the tyre evenly,
then repeat the
inflation operation;

❍if after this operation it is still not possible to reach at
least 1.8 bar after 5 minutes, do not start driving since
the tyre is excessively damaged and the quick tyre re-
pair kit cannot guarantee suitable sealing. Contact a
Lancia Dealership;
❍if the tyre reaches the pressure specified in the “Infla-
tion pressure” paragraph in chapter “6”, start driving
immediately;
Apply the adhesive label in a position clear-
ly 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
exceed 80 km/h. Do not accelerate or brake sud-
denly.

IN AN EMERGENCY
❍after driving for about 10 minutes stop and check the
tyre pressure again; pull up the handbrake
If the pressure falls below 1.8 bar, do not dri-
ve any further: the Fix & Go automatic quick
tyre repair kit cannot guarantee suitable
sealing because the tyre is too damaged. Contact a
Lancia Dealership.
❍if you get a pressure reading of at least 1.8 bar, re-
store the correct pressure (with engine running and
handbrake on) and resume driving;
❍drive with the utmost care to the nearest Lancia Deal-
ership.
Inform the Dealership that the tyre has been
repaired using the quick tyre repair kit. Give
the booklet to the personnel charged with
handling the treated tyre.
CHECKING AND RESTORING TYRE PRESSURE
The compressor can also be used solely for restoring pres-
sure. Release the quick coupling and connect directly to
the tyre valve fig. 6; in this way, the bottle will not be con-
nected to the compressor and no sealant will be injected.

REPLACING A WHEELGENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The car may be originally fitted with a space-saver wheel
(for versions/markets, where provided).
Wheel replacement and correct use of the jack and space-
saver wheel call for some precautions as listed below.
The space-saver wheel provided (for ver-
sions/markets, where provided) is specific for
the car; do not use it on other models, or use
the space-saver wheel of other models on your car.
The space-saver wheel must only be used in the
event of emergency. Never use it for more than strict-
ly necessary and never exceed 80 km/h. On the
space-saver wheel there is an orange label, sum-
marising the main warnings regarding space-saver
wheel usage restrictions.
195-232 Delta GB 1ed 02/09/13 09.35 Pagina 203

Never remove or cover the label. Never apply
a hub cap on a space-saver wheel. The la-
bel bears the following instructions in four
languages: WARNING! FOR TEMPORARY USE
ONLY! 80 KM/H MAX.! REPLACE WITH STAN-
DARD WHEEL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. DO NOT
COVER THIS LABEL.
If you change the type of wheel (alloy rims instead
of steel rims) you will have to change the entire set
of fastening bolts with another set of suitably sized
bolts.Alert other drivers that the car is stationary
in compliance with local regulations: hazard
warning lights, warning triangle, etc. Any
passengers on board should leave the car, especial-
ly if it is heavily laden. Passengers should stay
away from on-coming traffic while the wheel is be-
ing changed. If parked on a slope or rough surface,
chock the wheels with wedges or other suitable de-
vices.
204
IN AN EMERGENCY
The jack can only be used for changing
wheels on the car with which it is provided
or on cars of the same model. Never use the
jack for other purposes, such as lifting other car
models. Never use it for repair operations 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 fit-
ted to the space-saver wheel. Therefore, if a front
(drive) wheel is punctured and chains are required,
a rear wheel should be fitted at the front of the car
and the space-saver wheel should be fitted to the
rear. This way, with two normal front driving
wheels, you can install the snow chains on them,
thus resolving the emergency.If the hub cap is not installed properly, it may
detach when the vehicle is running. Never
tamper with the inflation valve. Never intro-
duce tools of any kind between rim and tyre. Reg-
ularly check tyre and space-saver wheel pressure,
complying with the data in the chapter “6”.

The driving characteristics of the car may
change when a space-saver wheel is fitted.
Avoid violent acceleration and braking,
abrupt steering and fast cornering. The total life
of a space-saver wheel is approximately 3,000 km,
after which it must be replaced by another wheel
of the same type. Never install a standard tyre on
a rim designed for use as a space-saver wheel. Have
the wheel repaired and refitted as soon as possi-
ble. Using two or more space-saver wheels at the
same time is forbidden. Do not apply grease to the
bolt threads before assembly: they might sponta-
neously unscrew.
Tool box (versions with HI-FI Bose)

for versions with HI-FI Bose.
This box contains:
❍screwdriver;
❍tow hook;
❍wheel bolt spanner;
