After tyre replacement
❍Stow the space saver wheel D-fig. 10 in the space pro-
vided in the luggage compartment;
❍fit the partially open jack in its box forcing it lightly
to prevent it from vibrating when travelling;
❍put the tools back into place in the container;
❍stow the container, complete with tools, in the spare
wheel and tighten the locking device B-fig. 10;
❍reposition the boot mat correctly.
IMPORTANT Do not use inner tubes with tubeless tyres.
Check the inflation pressure of the tyres and the space-
saving wheel periodically.CHANGING A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❍Before changing a bulb, check the contacts for rust-
ing;
❍burnt-out bulbs must be replaced by others of the
same type and wattage;
❍always check the alignment of the beam after chang-
ing a headlight bulb;
❍when a light is not working, check that the corre-
sponding fuse is intact before changing a bulb. For the
location of fuses, refer to the paragraph “Replacing
fuses” in this chapter.
Modifications or repairs to the electric sys-
tem that are not carried out properly or do
not take the system technical specifications
into account can cause malfunctions leading to the
risk of fire.
Various fastening bolts and space-saver
wheels, specific and differing in structural
characteristics, are used depending on the
wheel rim type (alloy or steel). Fastening bolts for
alloy rims can be identified by the presence of a per-
manent washer and a hollow side on the bolt head.
Therefore, you will need to go to a Lancia Dealer-
ship to get the correct type of fastening bolts and
space saver wheel if you change the type of wheels
fitted (alloy rims instead of steel rims, or vice
versa). Keep the bolts fitted as standard in case of
re-use of the wheels originally mounted on the car.

Halogen bulbs contain gas under pressure;
if they break, glass fragments may be dis-
persed.IMPORTANT The headlight inner surface might be
slightly misted: this should not be considered irregular
rather a natural phenomenon due to low temperature and
the air humidity level. Misting will disappear as soon as
the headlights are turned on. The presence of drops in-
side the headlights indicates infiltration of water. Contact
a Lancia Dealership.
IMPORTANT When the weather is cold or damp or after
heavy rain or after washing, the surface of headlights or
rear lights, may steam up and/or form drops of conden-
sation on the inside. This is a natural phenomenon due
to the difference 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
lighting devices. The mist disappears quickly when the
lights are turned on, starting from the centre of the dif-
fuser, extending progressively towards the edges.
When handling halogen bulbs, only touch the
metal part. If the transparent bulb is touched
with the fingers, its lighting intensity is re-
duced and life of the bulb may be compromised. 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. Proper op-
eration and orientation of the external lights
are essential for driving safety and complying
with the law.
