Bump Starting; If A Tyre Is Punctured - Lancia Lybra Owner's Handbook Manual

BUMP STARTING

Do not bump start by
pushing, towing or coast-
ing downhill. This way of
starting could cause a rush of fuel
into the catalytic converter and
damage it beyond repair.
Remember that if the en-
gine is not running, the
power brakes will not
work. You therefore have to use
considerably more effort on the
brake pedal.

IF A TYRE IS
PUNCTURED
Follow the instructions on this and
the following pages to use the jack
and spare wheel (or space-saver spare
wheel, where fitted) correctly.
Signal the presence of the
stopped car according to
the laws in force (e.g. haz-
ard lights, reflecting triangle, etc.).
Any passengers on board should
get out, especially if the car is
heavily laden. Passengers should
stay clear from oncoming traffic
while the wheel is being changed.
If the wheel is being changed on
a steep or badly surfaced road,
place wedges or other suitable ma-
terial under the wheels to stop the
car from moving.
The space-saver spare
wheel (where fitted) is ve-
hicle-specific. Never use
the wheel on other models. Never
use other models of spare wheels
on your car.
The space-saver spare
wheel is narrower than a
standard wheel and must
only be used to reach a service sta-
tion where to have the punctured
tyre repaired. Do not exceed 80
km/h with the spare wheel fitted.
An adhesive label is attached to
the space-saver spare wheel sum-
marising the main precautions to
observe when the spare wheel is
fitted and the respective limita-
tions. The following information is
provided in four languages on the
adhesive label:
CAUTION! FOR TEMPORARY
USE ONLY! 80 KM/H MAX!
REPLACE WITH A STANDARD
WHEEL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
DO NOT COVER THIS LABEL.
Never apply a wheel cap on the
space-saver spare wheel. The han-
dling of your car will change when
the spare wheel is fitted. Avoid ac-
celerating or braking suddenly,
steering abruptly or fast cornering.
