IMPORTANT Do not connect the neg-
ative terminals of the two batteries di-
rectly: sparks could ignite explosive
gas released from the battery. If the
auxiliary battery is installed on an-
other car, prevent accidental contact
between metallic parts of the two cars.Never use a quick battery
charger for the emergency
start: this could damage the
electronic systems and the
engine fuel feed and ignition control
units.
This starting procedure
must be carried out by
expert personnel as incorrect ma-
noeuvres can cause electric dis-
charges of considerable intensity.
Furthermore, battery fluid is poi-
sonous and corrosive: avoid con-
tact with your skin and eyes. Keep
naked flames away from the bat-
tery. No smoking. Do not cause
sparks.

For a more accurate reading,
check pressure gauge F-fig. 6with
the compressor off;
❒if after 5 minutes it is still impos-
sible to reach at least 1.5 bar, dis-
engage compressor from the valve
and current outlet and move the
car forward by approx. ten metres
in order to distribute the sealing
fluid inside the tyre evenly. Then
repeat the inflation operation;
❒If after this operation it is still im-
possible after 5 minutes to reach
at least 1.8 bar, do not start dri-
ving since the tyre is excessively
damaged and the quick tyre repair
kit cannot guarantee suitable seal-
ing, contact the Lancia Dealership;
fig. 8L0D0485m
Apply the adhesive label in
a position clearly visible
by the driver as a reminder that
the tyre has been treated with the
quick repair kit. Drive carefully,
particularly on bends. Do not ex-
ceed 80 km/h. Do not accelerate
and brake sharply.
WARNING
If the pressure has
dropped below 1.8 bar, do
not continue to drive: the automatic
Fix & Go quick repair kit cannot
work properly because the tyre is
excessively damaged. Contact a
Lancia Dealership.
WARNING
❒if the tyre has been inflated to the
pressure in paragraph “Inflation
pressure” in section “Technical
Specifications”, resume driving
immediately;
❒after driving for about 10 minutes,
stop and check again the tyre
pressure again; remember to pull
the handbrake;
❒if, on the other hand, a pressure
of at least 1.8 bar pressure is read,
restore the correct (with engine
running and handbrake on) and
restart;
❒drive with the utmost care to the
nearest Lancia Dealership.
FOR CHECKING AND
RESTORING PRESSURE ONLY
The compressor may also be used for
restoring pressure only. Release the
quick coupling and connect directly
to the tyre valve; in this way, the
cylinder will not be connected to the
compressor and no sealing fluid will
be injected.

The small spare wheel is
specific for your car. Do
not use it on cars of different mod-
els. Do not use spare wheels of dif-
ferent models on your car. The
small spare wheel must only be
used in an emergency. Never use it
for more than strictly necessary
and never exceed 80 km/h. On the
small spare wheel there is an or-
ange label, summarizing the main
warnings regarding small spare
wheel usage restrictions. Never re-
move or cover the label. Never ap-
ply any hub cap on the small spare
wheel. The label contains the fol-
lowing indications in four lan-
guages: Warning! For temporary
use only! 80 km/h max! Replace
the standard wheel as soon as pos-
sible. Do not cover this instruction.
WARNING
The driving characteristics
of the car are different
when the small spare wheel is in-
stalled. Avoid violent accelerations
and braking, sharp steering and
fast bending. The overall duration
of the small spare wheel is of about
3000 km, after which the relevant
tyre must be replaced with another
one of the same type. Never install
a traditional tyre on a rim de-
signed to be used as a small spare
wheel. Repair and refit the stan-
dard wheel as soon as possible.
Using two or more small spare
wheels at the same time is forbid-
den. Do not apply grease to the bolt
threading before assembly: they
might come unscrewed.
WARNING
The jack may only be used
to replace wheels on the
car which it equips or other cars of
the same model. Never use the jack
for other purposes, such as lifting
other car models. Never use the
jack to carry out repairs 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.
Never install snow chains on the
small spare wheel; if a front tyre
(driving wheel) is punctured and
you need to use snow chains, use a
standard wheel from the rear axle
and install the small spare wheel
on the rear axle. 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 in-
stalled properly, it can de-
tach itself when the vehicle is run-
ning. Never tamper with the infla-
tion valve. Never introduce tools of
any kind between rim and tyre.
Check tyre and small spare wheel
pressure regularly referring to the
values shown in the “Technical
Specifications” chapter.
WARNINGImportant notes:
❒the jack cannot be repaired: re-
place with an original spare part if
damaged;
❒no tool other than its cranking de-
vice may be fitted on the jack.
To change a wheel proceed as follows:

it is not a danger for on-coming
traffic and where you can replace
the wheel safely. The ground must
be flat and compact;
❒turn the engine off and pull the
handbrake;
❒engage first gear or reverse;
❒raise the mat on the floor of the
baggage compartment;
❒loosen the fastener A-fig. 10;
