❍warn anybody nearby that the car is about to be lift-
ed. They must stay clear and not touch the car until
it is back on the ground;
❍fit the handle H-fig. 12 into device I of the jack and
lift the car until the wheel is several centimetres off the
ground. When turning the handle, make sure that it
rotates freely, without risking injury to your hand by
rubbing it against the ground. Even the moving com-
ponents of the jack (screws and joints) can cause in-
juries; do not touch them. If you come into contact with
lubricating grease, clean yourself thoroughly;
❍make sure the contact surfaces on the small spare wheel
are clean so that the retaining bolts will not come loose;
❍fit the small spare wheel, coinciding pins T-fig. 11 with
the openings S on the wheel;
❍tighten the 4 retaining bolts;
❍turn the jack handle to lower the car and remove the
jack;
❍fully tighten the bolts, passing alternately from one bolt
to the opposite one, following the order indicated in
fig. 13.

❍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-

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.

Halogen bulbs contain gas under pressure, if
they break, glass fragments may be dis-
persed.IMPORTANT A slight misting may appear on the inter-
nal surface of the headlight: this does not indicate a fault
and is caused by low temperature and the degree of hu-
midity in the air. Misting will rapidly disappear when the
headlights are switched on. The presence of drops inside
the headlights indicates water penetration. Contact a Lan-
cia Dealership.
IMPORTANT When the weather is cold or damp or after
hard rain or after washing, the area of headlamps or rear
lights, may steam up and/or form drops of condensation
on the inside. This is a natural phenomenon due to the dif-
ference in temperature and humidity between the inside
and the outside of the glass which does not indicate a fault
and does not compromise the normal operation of light-
ing devices. The mist disappears quickly turning the lights
on, starting from the centre of the diffuser, extending pro-
gressively towards the edges.
When handling halogen bulbs, only touch the
metal part. Touching the transparent part of
the bulb with your fingers may reduce the in-
tensity of the emitted light and even compromise the
life of the lamp. In the event of accidental contact,
wipe the bulb with a cloth moistened with alcohol
and leave it to dry.
Where possible, it is advisable to have bulbs
changed at a Lancia Dealership. The correct
operation and orientation of the external
lights is essential for safe driving. You may be li-
able to fines if this is not the case.
