WHEEL AND TIRE
TORQUE
SPECIFICATIONS
Proper lug nut/bolt torque is very im-
portant to ensure that the wheel is
properly mounted to the vehicle. Any
time a wheel has been removed and
reinstalled on the vehicle the lug nuts/
bolts should be torqued using a prop-
erly calibrated torque wrench.

**Use only LANCIA recommended
lug nuts/bolts and clean or remove
any dirt or oil before tightening.
Inspect the wheel mounting surface
prior to mounting the tire and remove
any corrosion or loose particles. Tighten the lug nuts/bolts in a star
pattern until each nut/bolt has been
tightened twice.
After 40 km check the lug nut/bolt
torque to be sure that all the lug nuts/
bolts are properly seated against the
wheel.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the ve-
hicle off the jack, do not tighten the
lug nuts fully until the vehicle has
been lowered. Failure to follow this
warning may result in personal in-
jury.
TIREFIT KIT (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
Small punctures up to 6 mm in the tire
tread can be sealed with TIREFIT.
Foreign objects (e.g., screws or nails)
should not be removed from the tire.
TIREFIT can be used in outside tem-
peratures down to approximately
-20°C.
This kit will provide a temporary tire
seal, allowing you to drive your ve-
hicle up to 160 km with a maximum
speed of 88 km/h.

to “Sealing a Tire with TIREFIT”
section (F) “Sealant Bottle and
Hose Replacement”.
The Sealant Bottle (1) and Sealant Hose (6) are a one tire application
use. After each use, always replace
these components immediately at
an authorized dealer.
When the TIREFIT sealant is in a liquid form, clean water, and a
damp cloth will remove the mate-
rial from the vehicle or tire and
wheel components. Once the seal-
ant dries, it can easily be peeled off
and properly discarded.
For optimum performance, make sure the valve stem on the wheel is
free of debris before connecting the
TIREFIT kit.
You can use the TIREFIT air pump to inflate bicycle tires. The kit also
comes with two needles, located in
the Accessory Storage Compart-
ment (on the bottom of the air
pump) for inflating sport balls,
rafts, or similar inflatable items.
However, use only the Air Pump Hose (7) and make sure the Mode
Select Knob (5) is in the Air Mode
when inflating such items to avoid
injecting sealant into them. The
TIREFIT Sealant is only intended
to seal punctures less than 6 mm
diameter in the tread of your
vehicle.
Do not lift or carry the TIREFIT kit by the hoses.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to seal a tire onthe side of the vehicle close to
traffic. Pull far enough off the
road to avoid the danger of being
hit when using the TIREFIT kit.
Do not use TIREFIT or drive the vehicle under the following cir-
cumstances:– If the puncture in the tire tread is approximately 6 mm or
larger.
– If the tire has any sidewall damage.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
If the tire has any damage fromdriving with extremely low tire
pressure.
If the tire has any damage from driving on a flat tire.
If the wheel has any damage.
If you are unsure of the condition of the tire or the wheel.
Keep TIREFIT away from open flame or heat source.
A loose TIREFIT kit thrown for- ward in a collision or hard stop
could endanger the occupants of
the vehicle. Always stow the
TIREFIT kit in the place pro-
vided. Failure to follow these
warnings can result in injuries
that are serious or fatal to you,
your passengers, and others
around you.

WARNING!(Continued)
Take care not to allow the con-tents of TIREFIT to come in con-
tact with hair, eyes, or clothing.
TIREFIT is harmful if inhaled,
swallowed, or absorbed through
the skin: It causes skin, eye, and
respiratory irritation. Flush im-
mediately with plenty of water if
there is any contact with eyes or
skin. Change clothing as soon as
possible, if there is any contact
with clothing.
TIREFIT Sealant solution con- tains latex. In case of allergic re-
action or rash, consult a physi-
cian immediately. Keep TIREFIT
out of reach of children. If swal-
lowed, rinse mouth immediately
with plenty of water and drink
plenty of water. Do not induce
vomiting! Consult a physician
immediately.
Use the gloves provided in the Accessory Storage Compartment
(located on the bottom of the air
pump) when operating the TIRE-
FIT kit.
SEALING A TIRE WITH
TIREFIT
(A) Whenever You Stop To Use
TIREFIT:
1. Pull over to a safe location and
turn on the vehicle’s Hazard Warning
flashers.
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 po-
sitioning of the kit when injecting the
sealant into the deflated tire and run-
ning 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.

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 jumper cable to
the negative (-)post of the dis-
charged battery. The resulting elec-
trical spark could cause the battery
to explode and could result in per-
sonal injury. Only use the specific
ground point, do not use any other
exposed metal parts.
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.
If frequent jump-starting is required
to start your vehicle you should have
the battery and charging system in-
spected at your authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
Accessories 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 without engine operation,
the vehicle’s battery will discharge
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
by a rocking motion. Turn your steer-
ing wheel right and left to clear the
area around the front wheels. Then
shift back and forth between DRIVE
and REVERSE. Using minimal accel-
erator pedal pressure to maintain the
rocking motion, without spinning the
wheels, is most effective.
NOTE: For vehicles with 8-speed
transmission: Shifts between
DRIVE and REVERSE can only be
261

achieved at wheel speeds of 8 km/h
or less. Whenever the transmission
remains in NEUTRAL for more
than 2 seconds, you must press the
brake pedal to engage DRIVE or
REVERSE.
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 minute
after every five rocking-motion
cycles. This will minimize overheat-
ing and reduce the risk of transmis-
sion failure during prolonged efforts
to free a stuck vehicle.
NOTE: Press the "ESC Off"
switch, to place the Electronic Sta-
bility Control (ESC) system in
"Partial Off" mode, before rocking
the vehicle. Refer to “Electronic
Brake Control” in “Starting And
Operating” for further informa-
tion. Once the vehicle has been
freed, press the "ESC Off" switch
again to restore "ESC On" mode.
CAUTION!
When “rocking” a stuck vehicleby 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).
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.
TOW EYES
Your vehicle is equipped with tow
eyes, which are mounted in the front
and the rear.
CAUTION!
Tow eyes are for emergency use
only, to rescue a vehicle stranded
off road. Do not use tow eyes for
tow truck hookup or highway tow-
ing. You could damage your ve-
hicle. Tow straps are recommended
when towing the vehicle; chains
may cause vehicle damage.
WARNING!
Stand clear of vehicles when pull-
ing with tow eyes. Tow straps and
chains may break, causing serious
injury.

Proper towing or lifting equipment is
required to prevent damage to your
vehicle. Use only tow bars and other
equipment designed for this purpose,
following equipment manufacturer’s
instructions. Use of safety chains is
mandatory. Attach a tow bar or other
towing device to main structural
members of the vehicle, not to bum-
pers or associated brackets. State and
local laws regarding vehicles under
tow must be observed.
If you must use the accessories (wip-
ers, defrosters, etc.) while being
towed, the ignition must be in the
ON/RUN position, not the ACC posi-
tion. If the vehicle's battery is discharged,
see “Manual Park Release” or “Shift
Lever Override” in this section for
instructions on shifting the transmis-
sion out of PARK for towing.
CAUTION!
Do not use sling type equipment
when towing. Damage to the fas-
cia will occur.

When securing the vehicle to a
flatbed truck, do not attach to the
front or rear suspension compo-
nents. Damage to your vehicle may
result from improper towing.
(Continued)
CAUTION!(Continued)
Do not push or tow this vehicle with another vehicle as damage to
the bumper fascia and transmis-
sion may result.
The manufacturer does not rec- ommend towing this vehicle using
a tow dolly. Vehicle damage may
occur.
The manufacturer recommends tow-
ing your vehicle with all four wheels
OFF the ground using a flatbed.
If flatbed equipment is not available,
and the transmission is operable, this
265

vehicle may be towed (with rear
wheels on the ground) under the fol-
lowing conditions:
The transmission must be in NEU-TRAL.
The towing speed must not exceed 48 km/h.
The towing distance must not ex- ceed 24 km for 5-speed transmis-
sion, or 48 km for 8-speed trans-
mission.
If the transmission is not operable, or
the vehicle must be towed faster than
48 km/h or farther than 24 km for
5-speed transmission, or 48 km for
8-speed transmission, tow with the
rear wheels OFF the ground (on a
flatbed, or with the rear wheels raised
using a wheel lift and the transmission
in NEUTRAL).CAUTION!
Towing this vehicle in violation of
the above requirements can cause
severe transmission damage. Dam-
age from improper towing is not
covered under the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
Vehicles equipped with AWD can also
be towed with the ignition in the ON/
RUN position, the transmission in
NEUTRAL (not in PARK!), and the
rear wheels OFF the ground with no
limitation on speed or distance.
NOTE:
If the key fob is unavailable
on a AWD vehicle, it must be towed
with ALL FOUR wheels OFF the
ground (e.g. on a flatbed truck) .
WITHOUT THE KEY FOB
Special care must be taken when the
vehicle is towed with the ignition in
the LOCK/OFF position. The only
approved method of towing without
the key fob is with a flatbed truck.
Proper towing equipment is necessary
to prevent damage to the vehicle.
