❒make sure the compressor switch D-
fig. 10is set to 0 (off), start the engine
and fit plug E-fig. 11into the nearest
current outlet and then turn on the
compressor by setting switch D-fig. 10
to I(on). Inflate the tyre to the pres-
sure specified in paragraph “Inflation
pressure” in section “Technical Speci-
fications”. Check tyre pressure on gauge F-fig.
10with compressor off to obtain pre-
cise reading;
❒if after 5 minutes it is still impossible
to reach at least 1.5 bar, disengage com-
pressor from valve and current outlet,
then move the car forth for approx. ten
metres in order to distribute the seal-
ing fluid inside the tyre evenly, then re-
peat the inflation operation;
❒If after this operation it is still impossi-
ble after 5 minutes to reach at least 1.8
bar, do not start driving since the tyre
is excessively damaged and the quick
tyre repair kit cannot guarantee suit-
able sealing, contact Fiat Dealership;
❒if reaching the tyre pressure specified
in paragraph “Inflation pressure” in sec-
tion “Technical Specifications”, start
driving immediately;

Apply the sticker in a visible
position for the driver to in-
dicate that the tyre has been treat-
ed with the quick tyre repair kit. Dri-
ve carefully especially when corner-
ing. Do not exceed 80 km/h. Avoid
heavy braking and accelerating.
WARNING
❒after driving for about 10 minutes stop
and check again the tyre pressure; pull
up the handbrake;
If the pressure falls below 1.8
bars, do not drive any fur-
ther: the quick tyre repair kit Fix & Go
automatic cannot guarantee proper
hold because the tyre is too much
damaged. Contact Fiat Dealership.

❒if at least 1.8 bar pressure is read, re-
store proper pressure (with engine
running and handbrake on) and restart;
❒drive with the utmost care to the near-
est Fiat Dealership.
FOR CHECKING AND
RESTORING PRESSURE ONLY
The compressor can be also used just for
restoring pressure. Disconnect the quick
connection and connect it directly to the
tyre valve fig. 13; in this way the cylinder
is not connected to compressor and the
sealing fluid will not flow into the tyre. CYLINDER REPLACEMENT
PROCEDURE
To replace the cylinder proceed as fol-
lows:
❒disconnect connection A-fig. 14;
❒turn counter-clockwise the cylinder to
replace and raise it;
❒fit the new cylinder and turn it clock-
wise;
❒connect connection Ato the cylinder
and fit the transparent tube Binto the
proper space.
It is of vital importance to
communicate that the tyre
has been repaired using the quick tyre
repair kit. Hand the instruction
brochure to the personnel charged
with treating the tyre repaired with
the kit.
