STARTING AND DRIVING
193
3
Keep your speed down when snow chains are
fitted. Do not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid potholes,
steps and pavements and also avoid driving
long distances on roads not covered with snow in
order to prevent damaging the car and the roadbed.
SNOW CHAINSThe use of snow chains should be in compliance with lo-
cal regulations.
The snow chains may be applied only onto the front wheel
(drive wheels).
Check the tension of the snow chains after the first few
metres have been driven.
IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be fitted to the space-
saver wheel. So, if a front (drive) wheel is punctured and
chains are needed, a rear wheel should be fitted to the front
of the car and the space-saver wheel should be fitted to
the rear. In this way, with two normal drive wheels at the
front, snow chains can be fitted.
CAR INACTIVITYIf the car is to be left inactive for longer than a month, the
following precautions should be followed:
❍park the car in a covered, dry and, if possible, well-
ventilated place;
❍engage a gear;
❍check that the handbrake is not engaged;
❍disconnect the negative battery terminal;
❍clean and protect the painted parts of the vehicle with
protective wax;
❍clean and protect the shiny metal parts using special
compounds commercially available;
❍sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber windscreen and
rear window wiper blades and lift them off the glass;
❍open the windows slightly;
❍cover the car with a fabric or perforated plastic sheet.
Do not use sheets of non-perforated plastic as they do
not allow moisture on the car body to evaporate;
❍inflate tyres to a pressure of +0.5 bar above the nor-
mal specified pressure and check regularly;
❍do not drain the engine cooling system.

❍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;

L0E0288m
❍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 FUSESGENERAL INFORMATION
Fuses protect the electric system: they blow in the event
of a failure or improper action on the system. Check the
condition of the corresponding fuse when a device does
not work: the filament A - fig. 37 must be intact. If it is
not, replace the blown fuse with another having the same
amperage (same colour).
Bintact fuse
C fuse with damaged filament.
To replace a fuse, use the pliers D - fig. 37 attached to
the dashboard fuse box.
Refer to the tables on the following pages to identify the
protection fuse.
fig. 37
L0E0085m
If the fuse blows again contact a Lancia
Dealership.Never replace a blown fuse with metal wires
or other materials.Never replace a fuse with another with a
higher amp rating; FIRE RISK.If a general protection fuse (MEGA-
FUSE, MIDI-FUSE, MAXI-FUSE) blows,
contact a Lancia Dealership.Before changing a fuse, check that the igni-
tion key has been removed and that all the
other electric devices have been turned
off/disabled.If a general protection fuse for safety systems
(airbag system, braking system), power unit
systems (engine system, gearbox system) ac-
tive suspension system (for versions/markets, where
provided) or steering system blows, contact a Lan-
cia Dealership.

ENGINE OIL A - Fig. 1
Check the oil level a few minutes (about five) after the en-
gine has stopped, with the car parked on level ground. The
oil level should be between the MIN and MAX marks on
the dipstick. The range between the MIN and MAX marks
corresponds to about 1 litre of oil.
If the level of the oil is close to or below the MIN mark,
add oil via the filler neck until the MAX mark is reached.
The oil level must never exceed the MAX mark.
Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption is usually 400
grams every 1,000 km. When the car is new, the engine
needs to run in, therefore the engine oil consumption can
only be considered stabilised after the first 5,000 - 6,000
km.IMPORTANT The oil consumption depends on driving
style and car usage conditions.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let the en-
gine run for a few seconds and wait a few minutes after
turning it off before you check the level.
When the engine is hot, take care when work-
ing inside the engine compartment to avoid
burns. Remember that when the engine is hot,
the fan may operate: danger of injury. Pay atten-
tion to scarves, ties and other loose fitting garments:
they may get caught by moving components. Do not add any oil with different specifica-
tions than those of the existing engine oil. The used engine oil and the replaced oil fil-
ter contain substances that may be danger-
ous for the environment. It is advisable to
have oil and filters changed by a Lancia Dealership
where they will be disposed of according to the law.

ENGINE COOLANT B - Fig. 1
The coolant level must be checked when the engine is cold
and must range between the MIN and MAX marks on the
reservoir. If the level is low, slowly pour a mixture of 50%
demineralised water and 50% PARAFLU
UP
of
PETRONAS LUBRICANTS through the filler neck until
the level reaches MAX.
The mixture of 50% PARAFLU
UP
and 50% distilled wa-
ter protects against freezing down to temperatures of
–35°C. For particularly harsh climate conditions, we rec-
ommend using a mixture of 60% PARAFLU
UP
and 40%
distilled water.
PA R A F L U
UP
anti-freeze is used in the engine
cooling system. Use the same fluid as in the
cooling system when topping up. PARAFLU-
UP
cannot be mixed with any other type of fluid. If
this occurs, do not start the engine and contact your
Lancia Dealership immediately.
The cooling system is pressurised. If nec-
essary, only replace the plug with another
original one or the operation of the system
may be adversely affected. Do not remove the cap
from the reservoir when the engine is hot: danger
of scalding.
