CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
AND POLLUTION
Some suggestions which may help
you to keep the running costs of your
car down and lower the amount of
toxic emissions released into the at-
mosphere are given below.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
The overall state of the car is an im-
portant factor which has a marked in-
fluence over fuel consumption and
driving comfort and on the life span
of your car. For this reason care
should be taken to maintain your ve-
hicle by carrying out the necessary
checks and regulations in accordance
with the specifications given in the
Servize Schedule (see spark plugs,
idle, air filters, timing sections).Tyres
Tyres should be checked at least
every four weeks: if the pressure is too
low fuel consumption increases as the
resistance to the rolling movement of
the tyre is greater. In this state, tyre
wear is increased and car handling
suffers which will affect safety.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with too much luggage
stowed in the boot. The weight of the
car (especially when driving in town)
and its trim greatly affects consump-
tion and stability.
Roof/ski racks
Remove roof or ski racks from the
roof of the car as soon as they are no
longer needed. These accessories re-
duce the aerodynamic penetration of
the car and will increase consump-
tion. When transporting particularly
large objects, use a trailer where pos-
sible.Electrical devices
Use the electrical devices for the nec-
essary time only. The heated rear win-
dow, supplementary lights, wind-
screen wipers, heating system blower
require large amounts of energy and,
increasing the request for power also
increases fuel consumption (up to
+25% when driving in built-up areas).
Air conditioner
The air conditioner is an additional
load which greatly affects the engine
leading to higher consumption (on av-
erage up to +20%). When the tem-
perature outside the car permits it,
use the air vents where possible.
Spoilers
The use of aerodynamic optional ex-
tras which are not certified for specific
use on the car, may reduce the aero-
dynamic penetration of the car and
increase consumption.

1. STOP THE CAR
– Stop the car so it is not a danger
for on-coming traffic and in such a
position that the tyre can be changed
in safety. The ground must be flat and
adequately firm. During the night,
chose a lit area, if possible.
– Turn engine off and engage the
handbrake.
– Engage first or reverse gear.
– Signal that the car is stopped ac-
cording to traffic regulations: hazard
lights, warning triangle, etc.
Any passengers must leave the car
and watch out for traffic while the
tyre is being changed.
If the ground is sloping or bumpy,
place wedges or other suitable mate-
rial for stopping the car under the
wheels.2. TAKE OUT THE TOOLS,
JACK AND SPARE WHEEL
(space-saver wheel)
They are in the boot.
– Lift the carpeting.
– Unscrew the fastener A (fig. 2)
and take out the tool holder.
The tool holder contains:
B- vehicle tow ring;
C- jack handle;
D- wheel bolt wrench;
E- screwdriver;F- extension for screwing wheel
bolts and inflation valve cap;
G- jack.

7)Lower the car and re-
move the jack.
8)Tighten up the bolts com-
pletely in the order given previously in
(fig. 5).
9)Fit the wheel cover (LS version)
making sure that the inflation valve
seat is positioned correctly; press the
cover with the palm of your hands (do
not bang) against the rim shoulder
and ensure that all the retaining flaps
are inserted into the rim.
When you have finished:
– Put the space-saver spare
wheel into its special recess in
the boot.
– Refit the jack in its support mak-
ingA (fig. 7)coincide with the ring B
on the jack and positioning the base
of the jack to match C.
– Refit the tools you used on the sup-
port.
– Arrange the support and close the
fastenerA (fig. 8).
IMPORTANTCheck the inflation
pressure of the tyres and the spare
wheel regularly.
fig. 9
P4C00301
IMPORTANTIf the type of wheel is
to be changed (alloy wheels in place
of steel wheels and vice-versa) all the
wheel bolts must be replaced with
others of a suitable length and a spe-
cific spare wheel employed with dif-
ferent construction characteristics.
The original wheel bolts though,
should be kept in case you wish to
change back to the original wheels at
a later date.
To unscrew/screw the inflation valve
cap, use extension F (fig. 2).

bulb, remove the lens A (fig. 28), by

GENERAL
The fuse is an element for protecting
the electrical system. It will blow (that
it will break) in the event of a failure
or incorrect interventions on the elec-
trical system.
If an electrical device is not working,
check whether the respective fuse is
blown. The conductor should not be
broken. If it is, replace it with another
with the same amperage (same
colour)(fig. 29).
A- Intact fuse.
B- Fuse with broken filament.
Use the tongs C (fig. 29-32)to re-
move the fuse to be replaced. One set
of tongs is to be found in the main
fuse box, while the other is in the en-
gine compartment fuse box.
If the problem re-occurs have the car
seen to at a LANCIA Dealership.
Do not replace a fuse
with another of a higher
amp rating - DANGER OF
FIRE!
Never replace a broken
fuse with anything other
than a new fuse. Always
use an undamaged fuse of the
same colour (same value).
