❒a compressor Dcomplete with
pressure gauge and fittings, lo-
cated in the space;
❒a pair of protective gloves located
in the side space of the compres-
sor;
❒adaptors for the inflation of vari-
ous elements.
The kit container (placed in the boot
under the carpet) also holds the
screwdriver and the tow hitch.
Give the instruction book-
let to the tyre repair work-
shop personnel.
WARNING
IMPORTANT Do not use the Fix &
Go if the tyre was damaged by run-
ning on a flat.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
The sealing fluid of the quick tyre re-
pair kit is effective with external tem-
peratures between –20 °C and +50 °C.
The sealing fluid will expire.
The kit cannot be used to
repair damage to the tyre
sidewall. Do not use the quick re-
pair kit if the tyre was damaged by
running on a flat.
The damage cannot be repaired
with the kit if the wheel rim is
damaged (deformation of the chan-
nel causing leakage of air). Do not
remove the foreign body (screw or
nail) from the tyre.
Do not operate the compressor for
longer than 20 consecutive min-
utes. Risk of overheating. The
quick repair kit is not suitable for
definitive repairs. The tyres may
only be repaired temporarily.
WARNING
Should any tyre get punc-
tured due to foreign bodies,
you can repair it if the
damage doesn’t exceed 4
mm on the tread and on the shoul-
der of the tyre.
Replace the cylinder con-
taining the expired sealing
fluid. Dispose of the cylinder
and the sealant liquid prop-
erly. Dispose of according to the na-
tional and local laws in force.

INFLATION PROCEDURE
❒Ensure that the handbrake is
up. Unscrew the pneumatic valve
cap, take out the flexible filling
pipeA-fig. 5and screw down the
ring nut Bon the tyre valve;
fig. 5L0D0484m
Wear the protective gloves
provided with the quick
tyre repair kit.
WARNING
The cylinder contains eth-
ylene glycol. Contains la-
tex: may cause an allergic reaction.
Harmful if swallowed. Irritant for
the eye. May cause sensitization by
inhalation or contact. Avoid con-
tact with your eyes, skin and
clothes. In the event of contact,
wash immediately with plenty of
water. Do not induce vomiting if
swallowed. Rinse your mouth and
drink plenty of water. Call a doc-
tor immediately. Keep away from
children. The product must not be
used by asthmatics. Do not breath
in the vapours during insertion and
suction. Call a doctor immediately
if allergic reactions are noted.
Store the cylinder in the specific
compartment, away from sources
of heat.
WARNING
❒ensure that the switch D-fig. 6of
the compressor is in the 0(off) po-
sition, start the engine, fit the plug
A-fig. 7in the cigar lighter (or
12V socket) and switch on the
compressor by turning the switch
Dto the I(on) position. Inflate the
tyre to the pressure specified in the
“Inflation pressure” paragraph,
“Technical Specifications” chap-
ter.

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.

MAINTENANCE
AND CARE
IMPORTANT If the charge level re-
mains for a long time under 50%, the
battery is damaged by sulphation, re-
ducing its capacity and starting atti-
tude.
The battery will also be more at risk
of freezing (e.g. already at –10°C).
Refer to the paragraph “Car inactiv-
ity” in “Starting and driving” if the
car is left parked for a long time.
If after buying the car, you want to in-
stall electric accessories which require
permanent electric supply (alarm,
etc.) contact the Lancia Dealership
whose qualified personnel, in addition
to suggesting the most suitable devices
beloning to the Lancia Lineaccessori
line, will evaluate the overall electric
absorption, checking whether the car’s
electric system is capable of with-
standing the load required, or whether
it should be integrated with a more
powerful battery.
Since these devices continue absorb-
ing energy even when the ignition key
is off, they gradually run down the
battery.WHEELS
AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each type, in-
cluding the spare, approximately once
every two weeks and before starting a
long journey: this check must be per-
formed with the tyre rested and cold.
It is normal for the pressure to in-
crease when the car is used; for the
correct tyre inflation pressure, see
“Wheels” in “Technical specifica-
tions” section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal
tyre wear:
A: normal pressure: evenly worn
tread.
B: low pressure: tread particularly
worn on the edges.
C: excessive pressure: tread particu-
larly worn in the middle.
The tyres must be replaced when the
tread is less than 1.6 mm thick. In all
cases, follow the laws in force in the
country where you are driving.IMPORTANT NOTES
❒Avoid braking suddenly, burning
starts and violent knocks against
the curb, potholes or other obsta-
cles if possible. Long distances on
rough roads may damage the
tyres;
❒check the tyres regularly for cuts
on the sides, swelling or irregular
tread wear. Go to a Lancia Deal-
ership if required;
❒do not overload your car: this may
cause serious damage to wheels
and tyres;
❒if a tyre is punctured, stop imme-
diately and charge it to avoid
damage to the tyre, the rim, sus-
pensions and steering system;

MAINTENANCE
AND CARE
❒the tyre ages even if rarely used.
Cracks in the tread and on the
sidewalls are a sign of ageing.
Have the tyres checked by spe-
cialised personnel if they have
been fitted for longer than 6 years.
Remember to check the spare
wheel very carefully;
❒In the case of replacement, always
fit new tyres, avoiding those of du-
bious origin;
❒If a tyre is changed, also change
the inflation valve;
❒to allow even wear between the
front and rear tyres, it is advisable
to change them over 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 road hold-
ing depends also on the
correct tyre inflation pressure.
WARNING
If the pressure is too low
the tyre overheats and this
can cause it serious damage.
WARNING
Do not cross switch the
tyres, moving them from the
right of the car to the left and vice
versa.
WARNING
Never subject alloy rims to
repainting treatments re-
quiring the use of temperatures ex-
ceeding 150°C. The mechanical
properties of the wheels could be
impaired.
WARNING
RUBBER HOSES
As far as the brake system and fuel
rubber hoses are concerned, carefully
follow the “Service schedule” in this
section.
Ozone, high temperatures and pro-
longed lack of fluid in the system may
cause hardening and cracking of the
hoses, with possible leaks. Careful in-
spections are therefore necessary.
