A, operate the jack and raise the car until the
wheel is a few centimetres from the ground;
❒remove the wheel cap after loosening the 3
fixing bolts and finally loosen the fourth bolt
and extract the wheel (only for versions with
wheel caps fixed by bolts);
❒make sure the contact surfaces between
space-saver wheel and hub are clean so that the

❒use the wrench A provided to fully tighten the
bolts in a criss-cross fashion as per the order
illustrated in fig. 120;
❒when replacing an alloy wheel it is advisable to
place it upside down, with the aesthetic part
facing upwards.Restore the standard wheel as soon as possible,
because, once placed in the associated
compartment, the luggage compartment load
platform is rendered uneven as the standard wheel
is larger than the spare wheel.
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 wrench provided, tighten the fastening
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 wrench provided, fully tighten the
bolts in the sequence shown previously.

WARNING
Give the booklet to the technicians
who will be handling the tyre that
was treated using the Fix&Go kit.
WARNING
In the event of a puncture caused by
foreign bodies, the kit may be used to
repair tyres showing damage on the track or
shoulder up to max 4 mm diameter. Holes
and damage on the tyre side walls cannot be
repaired. Do not attempt to use the Fix&Go
kit if the tyre was damaged as a result of
being used when underinflated.
WARNING
If the wheel rim has been damaged
(bent so as to cause pressure loss), the
wheel may not be repaired. Do not remove
the foreign body (screws or nails) from the
tyre.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The sealing fluid of the quick tyre repair kit is
effective at external temperatures of between
-20°C and +50°C.

The sealing fluid has an expiry date.
WARNING
Never operate the compressor for
longer than 20 consecutive minutes.
Risk of overheating. The Fix&Go kit is not

WARNING
The bottle contains ethylene glycol. It
contains latex that might cause
allergic reactions. It is harmful if swallowed.
It is irritant for the eyes. May cause a
reaction if inhaled or on contact. Avoid
contact with eyes, skin and clothes. In the
event of contact, wash immediately with
plenty of water. If ingested, do not induce
vomiting. Rinse out your mouth, drink large
quantities of water and seek immediate
medical attention. Keep out of the reach of
children. The product must not be used
by asthmatics. Do not inhale the vapours
during insertion and suction. Call a doctor
immediately if allergic reactions are noted.
Store the spray bottle away from heat
sources. The sealing fluid has an expiry
date.
Replace the bottle if the sealing fluid
has expired. Dispose of the bottle
and the sealant liquid properly. Have
the sealing fluid and the bottle disposed of in
compliance with national and local
regulations.
INFLATION PROCEDURE
WARNING
Wear the protective gloves provided
with the Fix&Go kit.
To carry out the inflation procedure proceed as
follows:
❒engage the handbrake;
❒place the Fix&Go kit close to the tyre to be
repaired;
❒locate the filler pipe fig. 124 already
connected to the spray bottle A;
❒open the side lid E fig. 125 then connect the
spray bottle A to the fitting, following the
direction of the arrow;
❒undo the cap of the tyre valve F and connect the
filling pipe B tightening the relevant ring nut on

IMPORTANT To get a more precise reading, it is
recommended to check the value with compressor
off.
❒If the pressure does not reach at least 1.5 bar in
5 minutes, switch the compressor off and
disconnect the filling pipe B from the tyre valve,
then remove the plug H;
❒move the car of about 10 m, to distribute the
sealant inside the tyre, then inflate again;
IMPORTANT If after this operation it is still
impossible, after 5 minutes, to reach at least 1.5
bar, do not start driving since the tyre is
excessively damaged and the Fix&Go kit cannot
guarantee proper hold. In this case, go to a Lancia
Dealership.
fig. 127L0F0305
❒if the tyre reaches the pressure specified, start
driving immediately;
❒after driving for about 10 minutes stop, operate
the handbrake and check the tyre pressure
again.
WARNING
Apply the adhesive label where it can
be easily seen by the driver as a
reminder that the tyre has been treated with
the Fix&Go kit. Drive carefully, particularly
on bends. Do not exceed 80 km/h. Do not
accelerate or brake suddenly.
WARNING
If pressure has fallen below 1.5 bar,
do not drive any further: the Fix&Go
kit cannot guarantee the correct hold
because the tyre is too damaged, contact a
Lancia Dealership. If instead a pressure
value of at least 1.5 bar is detected, restore
the correct pressure (with the engine
running and the handbrake engaged),
resume driving and drive with care to the
nearest Lancia Dealership.

the compressor.IMPORTANT To adjust the possible overpressure
of the tyre, press the air relief button M.

CHANGING A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒Before changing a bulb check the contacts for
oxidation;
❒Burnt bulbs must be replaced by others of the
same type and power;
❒after replacing a headlight bulb, always check
its alignment;
❒when a light is not working, check that the
corresponding fuse is intact before changing
a bulb. For the location of fuses, refer to the
paragraph “If a fuse blows” in this section;
WARNING
Modifications or repairs to the
electric system that are not carried
out properly or do not take the system
technical specifications into account can
cause malfunctions leading to the risk of
fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pressurised
gas, in the case of breakage they may
burst.
Halogen bulbs must be handled
holding the metallic part only.
Touching the transparent part of the
bulb with your fingers may reduce the
intensity of the emitted light and even reduce
the lifespan of the bulb. In case of accidental
contact, wipe the bulb with a cloth moistened
with alcohol and let the bulb dry.
