WARNING
Give the booklet to the technicians
who will be handling the tyre that
was treated using the Fix&Go kit.
WARNING
In the event of a puncture caused by
foreign bodies, the kit may be used to
repair tyres showing damage on the track or
shoulder up to max 4 mm diameter. Holes
and damage on the tyre side walls cannot be
repaired. Do not attempt to use the Fix&Go
kit if the tyre was damaged as a result of
being used when underinflated.
WARNING
If the wheel rim has been damaged
(bent so as to cause pressure loss), the
wheel may not be repaired. Do not remove
the foreign body (screws or nails) from the
tyre.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The sealing fluid of the quick tyre repair kit is
effective at external temperatures of between
-20°C and +50°C.

IMPORTANT To get a more precise reading, it is
recommended to check the value with compressor
off.
❒If the pressure does not reach at least 1.5 bar in
5 minutes, switch the compressor off and
disconnect the filling pipe B from the tyre valve,
then remove the plug H;
❒move the car of about 10 m, to distribute the
sealant inside the tyre, then inflate again;
IMPORTANT If after this operation it is still
impossible, after 5 minutes, to reach at least 1.5
bar, do not start driving since the tyre is
excessively damaged and the Fix&Go kit cannot
guarantee proper hold. In this case, go to a Lancia
Dealership.

❒if the tyre reaches the pressure specified, start
driving immediately;
❒after driving for about 10 minutes stop, operate
the handbrake and check the tyre pressure
again.
WARNING
Apply the adhesive label where it can
be easily seen by the driver as a
reminder that the tyre has been treated with
the Fix&Go kit. Drive carefully, particularly
on bends. Do not exceed 80 km/h. Do not
accelerate or brake suddenly.
WARNING
If pressure has fallen below 1.5 bar,
do not drive any further: the Fix&Go
kit cannot guarantee the correct hold
because the tyre is too damaged, contact a
Lancia Dealership. If instead a pressure
value of at least 1.5 bar is detected, restore
the correct pressure (with the engine
running and the handbrake engaged),
resume driving and drive with care to the
nearest Lancia Dealership.

the compressor.IMPORTANT To adjust the possible overpressure
of the tyre, press the air relief button M.

CHANGING A BULBGENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒Before changing a bulb check the contacts for
oxidation;
❒Burnt bulbs must be replaced by others of the
same type and power;
❒after replacing a headlight bulb, always check
its alignment;
❒when a light is not working, check that the
corresponding fuse is intact before changing
a bulb. For the location of fuses, refer to the
paragraph “If a fuse blows” in this section;
WARNING
Modifications or repairs to the
electric system that are not carried
out properly or do not take the system
technical specifications into account can
cause malfunctions leading to the risk of
fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pressurised
gas, in the case of breakage they may
burst.Halogen bulbs must be handled
holding the metallic part only.
Touching the transparent part of the
bulb with your fingers may reduce the

Due to the high supply voltage, Xenon
gas-discharge bulbs (for versions/
markets, where provided) must only be
replaced by a specialist technician: danger of
death! Contact a Lancia Dealership.IMPORTANT When the weather is cold or damp
or after heavy rain or washing, the surface of
headlights or rear lights, may steam up and/or
form drops of condensation on the inside. This is a
natural phenomenon due to the difference in
temperature and humidity between the inside and
the outside of the glass which does not indicate a
fault and does not compromise the normal
operation of lighting devices. The mist disappears
quickly when the lights are turned on, starting
from the centre of the diffuser, extending
progressively towards the edges.
