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.

G
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.

RIMS AND TYRES
Pressed-steel or alloy rims; specific
wheel bolts (different dimensions and
reciprocally incompatible) for each of
the 2 types of rim.
Tubeless tyres.
The vehicle log-book also lists all
types of homologated tyres.IMPORTANTIn the event of dis-
crepancies between the information
given in the Owner Handbook and
that shown in the log-book, refer to
the latter only.
Even if the specified dimensions are
complied with, the vehicle, for safety
reasons, must still be fitted with tyres
of the same make and type on all
wheels.

designed to secure steel wheels and
vice-versa. For the compatibility be-
tween wheels and bolts and between
these and the spare wheel, refer to the
indications given in the paragraph “If
a tyre is punctured”.
