The cylinder contains ethylene glycol. Con-
tains latex: may cause an allergic reaction.
Harmful if swallowed. Irritates the eyes. May
cause sensitization by inhalation or contact. Avoid
contact with your eyes, skin and clothes. In the event
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.

Inflate the tyre to the pressure specified in the “Infla-
tion pressure” paragraph, in chapter “6”. For a more
accurate reading, check pressure gauge F-fig. 5 with
the compressor off;
❍if a pressure value of a least 1.5 bars is not reached
within 5 minutes, disconnect the compressor from the
valve and current socket, move the vehicle forwards
by about 10 metres to distribute the sealant fluid in
the tyre and repeat the inflation procedure;❍if event then a pressure value of a least 1.8 bars, is
not reached within 5 minutes of switching on the com-
pressor, do not continue driving because the tyre is too
damaged to be repaired by the kit and the seal can-
not be guaranteed, contact a Lancia Dealership;
❍the tyre reaches the pressure specified in paragraph
“Inflation pressure” in chapter “6”, start driving im-
mediately;

182IN 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.

FOR CHECKING AND RESTORING
PRESSURE ONLY
The compressor may also be used for restoring pressure
only. Release the quick coupling and connect directly to
the tyre valve fig. 6; in this way, the cylinder will not be
connected to the compressor and no sealing fluid will be
injected.

REPLACING A WHEEL
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The vehicle can be provided with (if requested, for ver-
sions/markets, where provided) a small spare wheel.
Wheel changing and correct use of the jack and of the
small spare wheel call for some precautions as listed
below.
The small spare wheel (for versions/markets,
where provided) is specific for your car. Do
not use it on different models of car. Do not
use spare wheels from different models on your car.
The small spare wheel must only be used in an
emergency. Never use it for more than strictly nec-
essary and never exceed 80 km/h. On the small
spare wheel there is an orange label, summarizing
the main warnings regarding small spare wheel us-
age restrictions.
Never remove or cover the label. Never apply
any hub cap on the small spare wheel. The
label contains the following indications in
four languages: Warning! For temporary use only!
80 km/h max! Replace as soon as possible with a
standard service wheel. Never cover this indication.
If you choose to install wheels of a different type
(with alloy rims instead of steel ones) you must al-
so change all the wheel retaining bolts with others
of a suitable size.
Indicate that the car is stationary according
to the laws in force: hazard warning lights,
refracting warning triangle, etc. Passengers
should leave the car, particularly if it is very loaded
and wait for the wheel to be changed away from on-
coming traffic. In the event of a wheel change on a
slope or on unsurfaced roads, chock the wheels.
175-214 Delta 4ed gb 24-02-2010 14:36 Pagina 185

186IN AN EMERGENCY
Vehicle handling is modified with the small
spare wheel fitted. Avoid violent acceleration
and braking, sharp steering and fast bend-
ing. The overall duration of the small spare wheel
is of about 3000 km, after which the relevant tyre
must be replaced with another one of the same type.
Never install a traditional tyre on a rim designed to
be used as a small spare wheel. Repair and refit the
standard wheel as soon as possible. Using two or
more small spare wheels at the same time is for-
bidden. Do not apply grease to the bolt threads be-
fore assembly: they might come unscrewed.The jack may only be used to replace wheels
on the car which it equips or other cars of the
same model. Never use the jack for other pur-
poses, such as lifting other car models. Never use
the jack to carry out repairs under the car. Incor-
rect positioning of the jack may cause the car to fall.
Do not use the jack for loads higher than those
shown on the label. Never install snow chains on the
small spare wheel; if a front tyre (driving wheel)
is punctured and you need to use snow chains, use
a standard wheel from the rear axle and install the
small spare wheel on the rear axle. This way, with
two normal front driving wheels, you can install the
snow chains on them, thus resolving the emergency.
If the hub cap is not installed properly, it can
detach itself when the vehicle is running. Nev-
er tamper with the inflation valve. Never in-
troduce tools of any kind between rim and tyre.
Check tyre and small spare wheel pressure regu-
larly referring to the values shown in chapter “6”.
Tool box (versions with Bose Hi-Fi)
There is a tool box located in the luggage compartment
for versions with Bose Hi-Fi.
This box contains:
❍screwdriver;
❍tow hook;
❍wheel bolt spanner;
❍wheel bolt access spanner;
❍alloy wheel centering;
❍jack.

REMOVING THE SUBWOOFER
(versions with Bose HI-FI system)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
IMPORTANT The following procedure only applies to ve-
hicles equipped with Bose Hi-Fi systems with Subwoofer
(for versions/markets, where provided).
SUBWOOFER AND SMALL SPARE WHEEL
Proceed as follows to remove the Subwoofer:
❍open the luggage compartment, pull tab A-fig. 10 and

ment C;❍rest the Subwoofer to one side in the luggage com-
partment, remove the container and take out the small
spare wheel;
❍replace the wheel as described in this chapter.
After tyre replacement:
❍reposition the container and place the Subwoofer on
top of it, taking care to position it according to the in-
structions on the container (fig. 9) so that the arrow
on the spacer is pointing in the direction of travel;
❍rest cable B-fig. 8 into Velcro Attachment C to avoid
pinching it. Then tighten locking device A-fig. 8. Re-
place the luggage compartment mat.

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);
❍loosen the fastener B-fig. 10;
❍take out the tool box C and place it next to the wheel
to be changed;
❍remove the small spare wheel D-fig. 10;
❍use the provided screwdriver to remove the hub cap,
levering the dedicated opening on the outer edge;
