If after several attempts the engine will not start, do not
keep trying but contact a Lancia Dealership.
IMPORTANT Never connect the negative terminals of the
two batteries directly: sparks could ignite explosive gas re-
leased from the battery. If the auxiliary battery is installed
on another car, prevent accidental contact between metal-
lic parts of the two cars.
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or dri-
ving downhill.
This could cause a flow of fuel into the catalytic convert-
er and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake servo and the
power steering system (if present) are not operative until
the engine is started, a greater effort will therefore be re-
quired to press the brake pedal or turn the steering wheel.QUICK TYRE REPAIR KIT -
FIX & GO AUTOMATIC
The quick tyre repair kitFix & Go automatic is placed in
the luggage compartment.
The kit fig. 2 includes:
a cylinder A containing sealing liquid and fitted with:
– a filling pipe B;
– an adhesive label C bearing the words “max. 80
km/h”, to be attached in a position easily visible to
the driver (on the dashboard) after tyre repair;

of contact, wash immediately with plenty of water.
Do not induce vomiting if swallowed. Rinse your
mouth and drink plenty of water. Call a doctor im-
mediately. Keep away from children. The product
must not be used by asthmatics. Do not breath in
the vapours during insertion and suction. Call a
doctor immediately if allergic reactions are noted.
Store the cylinder in the specific compartment, away
from sources of heat. The sealing fluid will expire.
Replace the cylinder containing expired seal-
ing liquid. Dispose of the cylinder and the
sealant liquid properly. Dispose according to
the national and local laws in force.

164IN AN EMERGENCY
after driving for about 10 minutes, stop and check the
tyre pressure again; remember to engage the hand-
brake;if, on the other hand, a pressure of at least 1.8 bar pres-
sure is read, restore the correct pressure (with engine
running and handbrake on) and continue driving;
drive with the utmost care to the nearest Lancia Deal-
ership.
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 and brake sud-
denly.
Stop if the pressure has dropped to less than
1.8 bars: The automatic Fix & Go fast repair
kit cannot work properly because the tyre is
excessively damaged. Contact a Lancia Dealership.
Remember to inform the workshop that the
tyre has been treated with a quick repair kit.
Give the instruction booklet to the tyre repair
workshop personnel.

Taking out the small spare wheel
Important notes:
the jack weight is 1.76 kg;
the jack requires no adjustment;
the jack cannot be repaired; If it breaks it must be re-
placed with a new jack;
no tool other than the cranking device may be fitted
on the jack.
To replace a tyre proceed as follows:
stop the car in a position where it does not present a
danger for on-coming traffic and where you can re-
place the wheel safely. The ground must be flat and
compact.
turn the engine off and engage the handbrake;
engage first gear or reverse;
lift up the luggage compartment mat using handle A-
fig. 10 (in the presence of a double load platform, first
lift the upper cover and then the luggage compartment
mat).

take out the tool box C and place it next to the wheel
to be changed;
remove the small spare wheel D-fig. 10;

(*) Regardless of the km covered, the timing belt should be replaced every 4 years for particularly demanding use (cold climates,
driving in the city, idling for a long time) or in any case every 5 years.
(**) If the car is mainly used in cities or less than 10,000 km a year, change the engine oil and filter every 12 months.
For 1.4 Turbo Jet versions, in order to guarantee correct operation and prevent serious damage to the engine, it is essential to ob-
serve the following:
- only use spark plugs specifically certified for Turbo Jetengines; all spark plugs should be of the same type and brand (see the “En-
gine” paragraph);
- carefully observe the spark plug replacement intervals detailed in the Scheduled Service Plan;
- it is advisable to have this performed at a Lancia Dealership.
