insert the plug into the socket
located on the centre tunnel and

Inflate the tyre to the pressure
specified in the "Inflation pressure"
paragraph in the "Technical
specifications" section. Check tyre
pressure on the gauge with compressor
off to obtain a more precise reading;
L0F0006C
if after five minutes it is still
impossible to reach at least 1.8 bar,
disengage the compressor from the
valve and power socket, then move the
car forwards by approx. ten metres in
order to distribute the sealing fluid
inside the tyre evenly, then repeat the
inflation operation;
if after this operation you still cannot
reach at least 1.8 bar after 5 minutes
from switching on the compressor,
do not resume driving but contact a
Lancia Dealership;
after driving for about 10 minutes
stop and check the tyre pressure again;
pull up the handbrake. For the safety
of the car when it is parked, follow
the indication in the paragraph "When
parked" in the chapter "Starting up and
L0F0176C
driving".
if a pressure value of at least 1.8 bar
is detected, restore the correct
pressure (with the engine running and
the handbrake engaged), resume
driving and drive with care to nearest
Lancia Dealership.
WARNING
136) Give the instruction brochure to the
personnel charged with handling the
tyre treated with the quick tyre repair kit.
137) Holes and damage on the tyre side
walls cannot be repaired. Do not use
the quick tyre repair kit if the tyre is
damaged as a result of driving with it
deflated.
138) Repairs are not possible in the case
of damage to the wheel rim (bad groove
distortion causing air loss). Do not remove
the foreign body (screws or nails) from
the tyre.
139) Never operate the compressor for
longer than 20 consecutive minutes. Risk
of overheating. Tyres repaired with the
quick tyre repair kit must only be used
temporarily, as the kit is not suitable for a
definitive repair.
