IMPORTANTIf the type of wheel is
to be changed (alloy wheels in place
of steel wheels and vice-versa) all the
wheel bolts must be replaced with
others of a suitable length and a spe-
cific spare wheel employed with dif-
ferent construction characteristics.
The original wheel bolts though,
should be kept in case you wish to
change back to the original wheels at
a later date.
To unscrew/screw the inflation valve
cap, use extension F (fig. 2).

WITH A SHOP JACK
Front end
The car may only be raised by plac-
ing the jack arm under the transaxle,
with a block of wood or rubber as il-
lustrated in (fig. 38).IF THE CAR NEEDS
TO BE RAISED
WITH THE JACK
See “If a tyre is punctured”, in this
section.
The jack should only be
used to change a wheel on
the vehicle with which it is
supplied or on vehicles of the same
model. All other uses, for example
raising other vehicles, must be ex-
cluded. Under no circumstances
use the jack to carry out repairs
under the vehicle.
If the jack is not used
correctly, the raised vehi-
cle may fall. Do not use the
jack to lift weights above that in-
dicated on the label attached to the
jack itself.
It must be remembered that:
– the jack does not require adjust-
ments;
– the jack cannot be repaired. If it
breaks, it must be changed with an-
other new jack;
– only the jack handle described in
the chapter “If a tyre is punctured”
can be fitted onto the jack.

While the car is being
towed with the engine off,
remember that the brake
pedal and steering will require
more effort as you no longer have
the benefit of the brake booster
and power steering. Do not use
flexible cables to tow. Avoid jerk-
ing. Whilst towing, ensure that the
coupling to the car does not dam-
age the surrounding components.Do not extract the igni-
tion key during towing;
leave it at MAR, to prevent
the steering lock engaging and,
provided the electrical system is
not damaged, keep the brake lights
and direction indicators working.
When the ignition key is re-
moved, the steering lock will cut in
thus preventing the steering wheel
from being turned.IF AN ACCIDENT
OCCURS
– It is important to keep calm.
– If you are not directly involved,
stop at least ten metres away from the
accident.
– If you are on a motorway do not
obstruct the emergency lane with your
car.
– Turn off the engine and turn on
the hazard lights.
– At night, illuminate the scene of
the accident with your headlights.
– Act carefully, you must not risk
being run over.
– Mark the accident by putting the
red triangle at the regulatory distance
from the car where it can be clearly
seen.
– If the doors are jammed, do not try
to leave the car by breaking the glass
of the windscreen as the glass is strat-
ified. Side windows and the rear win-
dow can be broken more easily.

CAR MAINTENANCE
The Lancia Y is brand new throughout, even in
its servicing schedule. Its design and manufactur-
ing process have made the traditional check at
1,500 kilometres unnecessary, which means its
first service schedule coupon is to be used at
20,000 kilometres. Your car, however, still re-
quires a certain amount of care and attention e.g.
the various fluid/liquid levels and tyre pressure
must be systematically checked and topped up if
necessary.
You should nonetheless bear in mind that proper
car maintenance is certainly the best way to keep
your car in tip-top condition for years to come and
safeguard its safety features, its environmentally-
friendly nature and its cheap running costs.
Also remember that the following servicing reg-
ulations marked with the symbol ∑are essential

ADDITIONAL
CHECKS
Every 1000 kilometres or before
long trips, check and top up as neces-
sary:
– coolant level
– brake fluid level
– power steering fluid level
– windscreen washer liquid level
– tyre pressure and condition.
Every 3,000 kmcheck and top up
as necessary: engine oil level.
You are recommended to use
FL Groupproducts designed and pro-
duced specially for Lancia cars (see
the “Capacities” table in the “Tech-
nical specifications” section).
ANNUAL
INSPECTION
SCHEDULE
The following annual inspection
schedule is recommended for cars
travelling less than 20,000 km a year
(e.g. approximately 10,000 km). The
schedule includes the following oper-
ations:
– Check tyre condition and wear and
adjust pressure, if required (including
spare wheel).
– Check operation of lights (head-
lights, direction indicators, hazard
lights, boot light, passenger compart-
ment ceiling light, glove compartment
light, instrument panel lights, etc.).
– Check windscreen wiper/washer
and adjust nozzles.
– Check position/wear of wind-
screen/rear window wiper blades.
– Check front brake pad conditions
and wear.– Inspect conditions of. engine, gear-
box, transmission, piping (exhaust -
fuel feed - brakes), rubber parts (boots
- sleeves - bushings - etc.), brake and
fuel line hoses.
– Check battery charge status.
– Check conditions of various con-
trol belts.
– Check and top up fluid levels (en-
gine coolant, brakes, windscreen
washer, battery, etc.).
– Change engine oil.
– Replace engine oil filter.
– Replace pollen filter (where fitted).

Car maintenance should
be entrusted to a LANCIA
Dealership. For interven-
tions of routine maintenance and
small repairs you wish to carry out
yourself, make sure you always
have the proper equipment, gen-
uine LANCIA spare parts and the
necessary liquids; do not carry out
servicing operations if you have no
experience.
Pay attention when top-
ping up not to confuse the
different types of fluid:
they are all incompatible with
each other and could seriously
damage the car.
If the car is frequently
used with a trailer, main-
tenance should be carried
out more frequently.
The jack supplied with
the car is only to be used
when changing a wheel.
For other operations that require
the car to be lifted, special meth-
ods are to be used. It is therefore
recommended to have them per-
formed by a LANCIA Dealership.
Scarves, ties and loose
garments can get caught in
moving parts.
Never smoke while work-
ing on the engine compart-
ment: gas or inflammable
vapours could be present, causing
a risk of fire.

WHEELS
AND TYRES
TYRE PRESSURE
Every two weeks and before long
journeys, check the pressure of each
tyre including the spare.
The pressure must be checked when
the tyre is rested and cold.
It is normal for the pressure to rise
when you are driving. If you have to
check or restore the pressure when the
tyres are warm, remember that the
pressure value must be 0.3 bar above
the specified value.Incorrect pressure causes uneven
wear of the tyres (fig. 7):
A- Correct pressure: tyre wears
evenly.
B- Underinflated tyre: shoulder
tread wear.
C- Overinflated tyre: centre tread
wear.Tyres must be replaced when the
tread wears down to 1.6 mm. Comply
with the laws in the country where the
car is being driven.
IMPORTANT
As far as possible avoid sharp brak-
ing and screech starts.
Be careful not to hit the kerb, pot-
holes or other obstacles hard. Driving
for long stretches over bumpy roads
can damage the tyres.
Periodically check that the tyres
have no cuts in the side wall, abnor-
mal swelling or irregular tyre wear. If
any of these occur, have the car seen
to at a LANCIA Dealership.
Avoid travelling with an overloaded
car: this can seriously damage wheels
or tyres.
Remember that road-
holding is also influenced
by correct tyre pressure.
fig. 7
P4C00130
If the pressure is too low
the tyre overheats and this
can cause it serious dam-
age.

If you get a flat tyre, stop immedi-
ately and change it so as not to dam-
age the tyre, the wheel, the suspension
and the steering.
Tyres age even if they are not used
very much. Cracking of the tread rub-
ber and the side walls are a sign of
this ageing. In any case, if the tyres
have been fitted for more than six
years they should be examined by an
expert who can judge whether they
are still fit for use. Remember to
check the spare tyre particularly care-
fully too.
If a replacement is necessary, always
use new tyres and avoid using ones
the origin of which you are not certain
about.
Lancia Y uses tubeless tyres. Under
no circumstances should an inner
tube be used with these tyres.
If you replace a tyre it is a good idea
to change the inflation valve, too.To ensure the front and rear tyres all
wear evenly, you are advised to
change the tyres over every 10-15
thousand kilometres keeping them on
the same side of the car so as not to
reverse the direction of rotation.RUBBER TUBING
Follow the Service Schedule care-
fully in the case of the braking and
fuel supply systems rubber hoses.
Ozone, high temperatures and long
absence of liquid in the system can in
fact cause the hardening and crack-
ing of the pipes with possible loss of
fluid. A careful check is therefore es-
sential.
Do not change the tyres
over in criss-cross fashion
by moving a tyre from the
left hand side of the car to the right
and vice versa.
