REFITTING THE STANDARD WHEEL
Following the procedure described previously, raise the
car and remove the small spare wheel.
Versions with steel rims
Proceed as follows:
❍make sure the contact surfaces between standard wheel
and hub are clean so that the retaining bolts will not
come loose;
❍fit the standard wheel inserting the 4 bolts into the
holes;
❍using the wrench provided, tighten the retaining bolts;
❍press-fit the hub cap, aligning the special groove (on
the cap) with the inflation valve;
❍lower the car and remove the jack;
❍using the wrench provided, fully tighten the bolts in
the sequence shown previously in the diagram.Versions with alloy wheels
❍insert the wheel on the hub and tighten the bolts us-
ing the wrench provided;
❍lower the car and remove the jack;
❍using the wrench provided, fully tighten the bolts in
the sequence shown in fig. 8;
❍reinstall the press-fitted hub cap, making sure that the
reference hole on the wheel is aligned with the refer-
ence pin on the cap.
IMPORTANT If it is not fitted properly, the hub cap may
detach itself when the vehicle is running.

192IN AN EMERGENCY
After tyre replacement
❍stow the small spare wheel D-fig. 10 in the space pro-
vided in the luggage compartment;
❍fit the partially-opened jack in its box, forcing it light-
ly to prevent it from vibrating when travelling;
❍put the tools back into place in the container;
❍stow the container, complete with tools, into the spare
wheel and tighten the locking device B-fig. 10;
❍put back the luggage compartment mat into the prop-
er position.
IMPORTANT Do not use an inner tube with tubeless tyres.
Periodically check the inflation pressure of the tyres and
small spare wheel.CHANGING A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❍Before changing a bulb check the contacts for oxida-
tion;
❍blown bulbs must be replaced with others of the same
type and power;
❍after replacing a headlight bulb, always check its align-
ment for safety reasons;
❍when a bulb is not working, check that the corre-
sponding fuse is intact before replacing it: refer to the
“Replacing fuses” paragraph in this chapter for fuse
location.
Modifications or repairs to the electrical sys-
tem that are not carried out properly or do
not take the system’s technical specifications
into account can cause malfunctions leading to the
risk of fire. If you choose to install wheels of a different
type (with alloy rims instead of the steel ones
or vice versa) you must change all the re-
taining bolts with others of a suitable size and use
a specific small spare wheel, with different speci-
fications. It is advisable to keep the replaced bolts
and small spare wheel, as they are necessary if in
future you decide to reinstall the original wheels.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE231

BATTERY
The battery F-fig, 1-2-3 provided with this vehicle is a
“Reduced maintenance” battery: no top-ups with distilled
water are needed in normal conditions of use.
It should nevertheless be periodically checked by a Lan-
cia Dealership or specialised personnel to check its effi-
ciency.
The battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive.
Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Keep
naked flames and sources of sparks away
from the battery: risk of explosion and fire.
Running the battery with an excessively low
liquid level will damage the battery beyond
repair and even cause an explosion.
CHANGING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with a genuine spare part
with the same specifications.
If a battery with different specifications is fitted, the ser-
vice intervals given in the “Scheduled Service Plan” will
no longer be valid.
Refer therefore to the instructions provided by the battery
manufacturer.
If the battery is disconnected, the áwarning light will
come on (together with a message in the display) to indi-
cate that the system must be realigned. To switch the
warning light off, carry out the following initialization pro-
cedure:
❍turn the ignition key to the ON position;
❍turn the steering wheel fully both clockwise and anti-
clockwise (to move from the position with the wheels
straight);
❍turn the ignition key to the OFF position and then turn
it back ON.
If the áwarning light does not go out after a few seconds,
seek assistance from a Lancia Dealership.

234CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre, including the spare wheel,
approximately once every two weeks and before starting
a long journey: this check must be performed with the tyre
rested and cold.
It is normal for the pressure to increase when the car is
used; for the correct tyre inflation pressure, see “Wheels”
in chapter “6”.
Incorrect tyre pressure causes abnormal tyre wear fig. 4:
A normal pressure: evenly worn tread;
B low pressure: tread particularly worn on the edges;
C excessive pressure: tread particularly worn in the mid-
dle.
fig. 4L0E0096m
The tyres must be replaced when the tread is less than 1.6
mm thick. In all cases, follow the laws in force in the coun-
try where you are driving.
IMPORTANT NOTES
❍Avoid braking suddenly, burning starts and violent
knocks against the curb, potholes or other obstacles
where possible. Long distances on rough roads may
damage the tyres;
❍check the tyres regularly for cuts on the sides, swelling
or irregular tread wear. Go to a Lancia Dealership if
required;
❍do not overload your car: this may cause serious dam-
age to wheels and tyres;
❍if a tyre is punctured, stop immediately and change it
to avoid damage to the tyre, wheel rim, suspension and
steering system;
215-242 Delta 3ed gb 11-11-2009 12:14 Pagina 234

CARE AND MAINTENANCE235
5
❍the tyre ages even if rarely used. Cracks in the tread and
on the sidewalls are a sign of ageing. Have the tyres
checked by specialised personnel if they have been fit-
ted for longer than 6 years. Remember to check the spare
wheel very carefully;
❍when replacing the tyres, always fit new tyres, avoid-
ing those of dubious origin;
❍if a tyre is changed, also change the inflation valve;
❍to allow even wear between the front and rear tyres,
it is advisable to change them over every 10-15 thou-
sand kilometres, keeping them on the same side of the
car so as not to reverse the direction of rotation.
Remember that the road holding qualities of
your car also depend on the correct inflation
pressure of the tyres.
If the pressure is too low the tyre will get
overheated, with the risk of serious damage
to the tyre.
Avoid moving the tyres from the right side of
the vehicle to the left side and vice versa.
Do not repaint alloy wheel rims at temper-
atures higher than 150°C. The mechanical
characteristics of the wheels might be dis-
rupted.

(*) Depending on the trim level, the spare wheel for the 1.9 Twin Turbo Multijet and the 2.0 Multijet has a 205/55 R16-91V tyre
and a 7Jx16” – ET31 rim. In that case the 205/55 R16-91V has the same specifications as the spare wheel: the text and the warn-
ings in the “Chaging a wheel” paragraph therefore refer to the 205/55 R16-91V tyre.

of 7 mm beyond the tyre profile.
IMPORTANT The use of 225/40 R18 92W tyres requires specific technical measures to be adopted. For this reason, this
tyre may only be ordered at the time of vehicle purchase. Do not install this tyre after vehicle purchase!
