wheel bolts Lancia Delta 2015 Owner handbook (in English)

Never remove or cover the label. Never apply
a hub cap on a space-saver wheel. The la-
bel bears the following instructions in four
languages: WARNING! FOR TEMPORARY USE
ONLY! 80 KM/H MAX.! REPLACE WITH STAN-
DARD WHEEL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. DO NOT
COVER THIS LABEL.
If you change the type of wheel (alloy rims instead
of steel rims) you will have to change the entire set
of fastening bolts with another set of suitably sized
bolts.
Alert other drivers that the car is stationary
in compliance with local regulations: hazard
warning lights, warning triangle, etc. Any
passengers on board should leave the car, especial-
ly if it is heavily laden. Passengers should stay
away from on-coming traffic while the wheel is be-
ing changed. If parked on a slope or rough surface,
chock the wheels with wedges or other suitable de-
vices.
204IN AN EMERGENCY
The jack can only be used for changing
wheels on the car with which it is provided
or on cars of the same model. Never use the
jack for other purposes, such as lifting other car
models. Never use it for repair operations under the
car. Incorrect positioning of the jack may cause the
car to fall. Do not use the jack for loads higher than
those shown on the label. Snow chains cannot be fit-
ted to the space-saver wheel. Therefore, if a front
(drive) wheel is punctured and chains are required,
a rear wheel should be fitted at the front of the car
and the space-saver wheel should be fitted to the
rear. 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 may
detach when the vehicle is running. Never
tamper with the inflation valve. Never intro-
duce tools of any kind between rim and tyre. Reg-
ularly check tyre and space-saver wheel pressure,
complying with the data in the chapter “6”.

❍in the presence of a double load compartment, lift the
double compartment mat and attach it to the luggage
compartment mat as shown in fig. 10.
❍ for cars fitted with alloy rims, remove the press-fitted
hub cap using the screwdriver provided;
❍ loosen the fixing bolts for the wheel to be changed by
about one turn using the spanner provided E - fig. 11;
❍ turn the cranking device to partially open it;
❍ position the jack near the wheel to be replaced at the
reference point Oon the side member;
❍ make sure that the splines F - fig. 12 on the jack are
firmly fitted to tab G on the side member;

208IN AN EMERGENCY
❍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 jack handle make sure that
it can turn freely without scraping your hand against
the ground. The moving components of the jack
(screws and joints) can also cause injuries: avoid touch-
ing them. If you become soiled with the lubricating
grease, clean it off thoroughly;
❍ make sure the contact surfaces on the space-saver
wheel are clean so that the retaining bolts will not come
loose;
❍ fit the space-saver wheel, aligning pins T - fig. 13 with
one of the holes A on the wheel;
❍ tighten the 4 fixing 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 illustrated in
fig. 13.

REFITTING THE STANDARD WHEEL
Following the procedure described previously, raise the
car and remove the space-saver wheel.
Versions with steel rims
Proceed as follows:
❍make sure the contact surfaces between standard wheel
and hub are clean so that the fastening bolts will not
come loose;
❍ fit the standard wheel inserting the 4 bolts into the
holes;
❍ using the spanner provided, tighten the fixing bolts;
❍ press-fit the hub cap, aligning the special splining (on
the cap) with the inflation valve;
❍ lower the car and remove the jack;
❍ using the spanner provided, fully tighten the bolts in
the sequence shown previously.

Versions with alloy rims
❍Place the wheel onto the hub and tighten the bolts us-
ing the spanner provided;
❍ lower the car and remove the jack;
❍ using the spanner provided, fully tighten the bolts in
the sequence shown in fig. 8;
❍ refit the press-fitted hub cap, making sure that the ref-
erence hole on the wheel is aligned with the reference
pin on the cap.
IMPORTANT If it is not fitted properly, the hub cap may
detach when the vehicle is running.
At the end of the operation
❍ 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 box;
❍ stow the container, complete with tools, in the space-
saver wheel and tighten the locking device B - fig. 10;
❍ reposition the luggage compartment mat correctly. IMPORTANT Do not use air chambers tubes with tube-
less tyres. Check the inflation pressure of the tyres and the
space-saver wheel periodically.
Various fixing bolts and space-saver wheels,
specific and differing in structural charac-
teristics, are used depending on the wheel rim
type (alloy or steel). Fixing bolts for alloy rims can
be identified by the presence of a permanent wash-
er and a hollow side on the bolt head.
Therefore, you will need to contact a Lancia Deal-
ership to get the correct type of fixing bolts and
space-saver wheel if you change the type of wheels
fitted (alloy rims instead of steel rims, or vice ver-
sa). Keep the bolts fitted as standard in case of re-
use of the wheels originally mounted on the car.
