This warning light switches on (on some versions
together with a message and a symbol in the
display) when this device is used (see the
paragraph "Follow me home" in the chapter
"Knowing your car").

IN AN EMERGENCY
In an emergency we recommend that you call the free-phone number found on the Warranty
Booklet. It is also possible to go to the www.lancia.com website to find the closest Lancia
Dealership.STARTING THE ENGINEGo to a Lancia Dealership immediately if
instrument panel warning light
remains on
constantly.
JUMP STARTING
If the battery is flat, the engine may be started
using an auxiliary battery with the same capacity
or a little higher than the flat one.To start the vehicle, proceed as follows:
❒connect the positive terminals (sign + near the
terminal) of the two batteries with a jump lead
fig. 114;
❒with a second lead, connect the negative
terminal – of the auxiliary battery to an
earthing point
on the engine or the gearbox of
the car to be started;
❒start the engine;
❒when the engine has been started, remove the
leads reversing the order above.
For versions with Start&Stop system, in case of
starting by auxiliary battery, refer to the
paragraph “Start&Stop system” in the chapter
“Getting to know your car”.
If after a few attempts the engine does not start,
do not persist but contact a Lancia Dealership.
IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the negative
terminals of the two batteries: sparks could ignite
explosive gas released from the battery. If the
auxiliary battery is installed on another car,
prevent accidental contact between metallic parts
of the two cars.

Never use a fast battery-charger to start
the engine as this could damage the
electronic systems of your car,
particularly the ignition and fuel supply
control units.
WARNING
This procedure must be performed by
expert personnel because incorrect
actions could cause electrical discharge of
considerable intensity. Furthermore, battery
fluid is poisonous and corrosive: avoid
contact with skin and eyes. Keep naked
flames and lighted cigarettes away from the
battery and do not cause sparks.
BUMP STARTING
Never jump start the engine by pushing, towing or
coasting downhill.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake servo and
electrical power steering system are not active
until the engine is started. A much greater effort
will therefore be required to use the brake pedal or
turn the steering wheel.
REPLACING A WHEELGENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The car is equipped with the “Fix&Go Automatic
Kit”: see the paragraph “Fix&Go Automatic
Kit” for how to use this device.
As an alternative to the “Fix&Go Automatic Kit”
the car may be equipped with a space-saver
wheel: see the instructions on the following pages
for changing the tyre.
WARNING
The space-saver wheel (for versions/
markets where provided) is specific
to your 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 case of emergency. It must
only be used for the distance necessary
to reach a service point and the car speed
must not exceed 80 km/h. The space-saver
wheel has an orange sticker that summarises
the main cautions for use and limitations.
Never remove or cover the label. The
following information is provided in four
languages on the label: "Important! For
temporary use only! 80 km/h max! Replace
with a standard tyre as soon as possible.
Never cover this indication." Never apply a
hub cap on a space-saver wheel.

The sealing fluid has an expiry date.
WARNING
Never operate the compressor for
longer than 20 consecutive minutes.
Risk of overheating. The Fix&Go kit is not
suitable for definitive repairs, so the
repaired tyres may only be used temporarily.
WARNING
The bottle contains ethylene glycol. It
contains latex that might cause
allergic reactions. It is harmful if swallowed.
It is irritant for the eyes. May cause a
reaction if inhaled or on contact. Avoid
contact with eyes, skin and clothes. In the
event of contact, wash immediately with
plenty of water. If ingested, do not induce
vomiting. Rinse out your mouth, drink large
quantities of water and seek immediate
medical attention. Keep out of the reach of
children. The product must not be used
by asthmatics. Do not inhale the vapours
during insertion and suction. Call a doctor
immediately if allergic reactions are noted.
Store the spray bottle away from heat
sources. The sealing fluid has an expiry
date.
Replace the bottle if the sealing fluid
has expired. Dispose of the bottle
and the sealant liquid properly. Have
the sealing fluid and the bottle disposed of in
compliance with national and local
regulations.
INFLATION PROCEDURE

Wear the protective gloves provided
with the Fix&Go kit.
To carry out the inflation procedure proceed as
follows:
❒engage the handbrake;
❒place the Fix&Go kit close to the tyre to be
repaired;
❒locate the filler pipe fig. 124 already
connected to the spray bottle A;
❒open the side lid E fig. 125 then connect the
spray bottle A to the fitting, following the
direction of the arrow;
❒undo the cap of the tyre valve F and connect the
filling pipe B tightening the relevant ring nut on

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.
fig. 127
L0F0305
❒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.

WARNING
If a fuse blows again, contact a
Lancia Dealership.
WARNING
Never replace a fuse with metal wires
or anything else.
WARNING
Never replace a fuse with another
with a higher amp rating; DANGER
OF FIRE.
WARNING
If a general protective fuse (MEGA-
FUSE, MIDI-FUSE, MAXI-FUSE)
blows contact a Lancia Dealership.
WARNING
Before replacing a fuse, make sure
that the ignition key has been
removed and that all the other services are
switched off and/or disengaged.
WARNING
If a general protective fuse for safety
systems (airbag system, braking
system), power unit systems (engine system,
transmission system) or steering system
intervenes, contact a Lancia Dealership.
