❍when replacing the tyres, always fit new tyres, avoid-
ing those of dubious origin;
❍If a tyre is replaced, you should also change the in-
flation valve;
❍to allow even wear between the front and rear tyres,
it is advisable to switch them every 10-15 thousand
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
specifications of the wheels might be ad-
versely affected.

BODYWORK
PROTECTION FROM ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS
The main causes of corrosion are the following:
❍atmospheric pollution;
❍salty air and humidity (coastal areas, or hot humid
climates);
❍seasonal environmental conditions.
The abrasive action of wind-borne atmospheric dust and
sand, as well as mud and gravel raised by other cars is
also not to be underestimated.
On your car, Lancia has implemented the best manufac-
turing technologies to effectively protect the bodywork
against corrosion.These include:
❍paint products and systems which give the car a spe-
cial resistance to corrosion and abrasion;
❍use of galvanised (or pre-treated) steel sheets with
high resistance to corrosion;
❍spraying the underbody, engine compartment, wheel
arch internal parts and other elements with highly
protective wax-based products;
❍spraying protective plastic materials in the most ex-
posed areas: underdoor, inner wing parts, edges, etc.;
❍using “open” boxed sections to prevent condensation
and pockets of moisture from causing rust inside.
BODY AND UNDERBODY WARRANTY
Your car is covered by warranty against perforation due
to rust of any original element of the structure or body.
For the general terms of this warranty, refer to the War-
ranty Booklet.

Hard Black versions
Detergents pollute the environment. Only
wash the car in areas equipped for the col-
lection and purification of the fluids used in
the washing process.
Glasses
To clean glasses, use specific window cleaner products.
Also use clean cloths to avoid scratching the glass or dam-
aging the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window inside gently with
a cloth in the direction of the filaments to avoid damag-
ing the heating device.
Engine compartment
At the end of each winter, thoroughly wash the engine
compartment, taking care to avoid spraying the water jet
directly onto the electronic control units and the re-
lay/fuse control unit on the left side of the engine com-
partment (as you look from behind the wheel). Have this
operation performed at a specialised workshop.
IMPORTANT The washing should take place with the en-
gine cold and the ignition key in the STOP position. Af-
ter the washing operation, make sure that the various
protections (e.g. rubber caps and guards) have not been
removed or damaged.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g.:
petrol) or ketones (e.g.: acetone) for cleaning the front
headlight plastic lenses.
In order to preserve the aesthetic appearance
of the paintwork abrasive products and/or pol-
ishes should not be used for cleaning the car.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be washed off imme-
diately and carefully as the acid they contain is particu-
larly aggressive.
It is recommended to avoid washing with
rollers and/or brushes in car wash stations.
Thus, wash the car only by hands using neu-
tral pH detergents; dry it with a wet chamois leather.
Abrasive products and/or polishes should not be used
for cleaning the car. Bird droppings must be washed
off immediately and thoroughly as the acid they con-
tain is particularly aggressive. Avoid (if possible) to
park your car under trees; remove immediately veg-
etable resins as, when dried, they could only be re-
moved with abrasive products and/or polishes that
are not recommended as they could possibly alter the
typical paint opacity. Do not use pure windscreen
washer fluid for cleaning the front windscreen and
rear screen; dilute it min. 50% with water.

Pressed steel or alloy rims. Tubeless radial carcass tyres.
All approved tyres are listed in the Vehicle Registration
Document.
IMPORTANT In the event of discrepancies between the
information provided in this “Owner’s handbook” and
the “Registration Document”, consider the specifications
shown in the log book only.
For safe driving, the car must be fitted with tyres of the
same make and type on all wheels.
IMPORTANT Do not use inner tubes with Tubeless tyres.

RIM PROTECTORS fig. 5a
Do not fit wheel caps when using caps fixed
(with springs) to the steel rim and tyres other
than factory-fitted tyres provided with Rim
Protector (fig. 5a). The use of unsuitable tyres and
wheel hub caps could cause a sudden pressure loss
in the tyre.

(*) Depending on the trim level, the space-saver 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 this case the 205/55 R16 91V tyre has the same specifications as the space-saver: the information
in “Replacing a wheel” therefore refers to the 205/55 R16 91V tyre.

tion of 7 mm beyond the tyre profile.
IMPORTANT Special techniques need to be adopted for 225/40 R18 92W tyres. For this reason, this tyre can only
be ordered when the car is purchased. Do not fit this tyre after the vehicle has been purchased!
