WARNINGThe jack shall only be used for changing wheels on the car with which it is provided
or on cars of the same model. It must not be used for other purposes such as for
instance raising cars of other models. In no case should it be used for repairs under
the car. Incorrect positioning of the jack may cause the jacked vehicle to fall. Do
not use the jack for higher capacities than stated on its label. Snow chains cannot
be fitted to the space-saver spare wheel. So, if a front (drive) wheel is punctured
and chains are needed, a rear wheel should be fitted to the front of the vehicle and
the spare wheel should be fitted to the rear. This way with two normal drive
wheels, snow chains can be fitted to them to solve an emergency.
ATTENZIONEFasten the wheel cap correctly to prevent the wheel from coming free in motion.
Never tamper with the inflation valve. Never place tools between the rim and tyre.
Check and restore, if required, the pressure of tyres and spare wheel to the values
given in the “Technical specifications” section.

When you have finished:
❒place the space-saver spare wheel in the housing under the body
checking it is properly locked in place.
IMPORTANT To fasten bolt (A) use only the wrench supplied; never use
pneumatic screwer since the hooking system could be damaged. The
wheel is completely fastened when the bolt, after about 21 audible clicks,
cannot be fastened further on.
❒Return tools to their container as shown on label (D) and place them
in their recess in the boot;
❒Before closing the cover (B) fasten them with belt (C).
IMPORTANT Do not use inner tubes with Tubeless tyres.
Periodically check the pressure of the tyres and spare wheel.

INFLATING PROCEDURE
WARNINGPut on the protection gloves provided
together with quick tyre repair kit.
❒Pull up the handbrake. Loosen tyre inflation valve cap, take the filler
hose (A) out and screw the ring nut (B) on the tyre valve;
❒make sure the compressor switch (D) is set at 0 (off), then start the
engine and fit plug (E) into the nearest outlet and turn on the
compressor by setting switch (D) to I (on). Inflate the tyre to the
pressure value specified in paragraph “Inflation pressure” in section
“Technical Specifications”. Check tyre pressure on gauge (F) with
compressor off to obtain precise reading;
❒if after 5 minutes it is still impossible to reach at least 1.5 bar,
disengage compressor from valve and outlet, then move the car forth
for approx. ten metres in order to distribute the sealing fluid inside the
tyre evenly, then repeat the inflation operation;

❒if also in this case, after 5 minutes from turning the
compressor on it is still impossible 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 suitable sealing, contact Fiat
Dealership;
❒if the proper tyre pressure has been reached (see
paragraph “Inflation pressure” in section “Technical
Specifications”, start driving immediately;❒after driving for about 10 minutes stop and check
again the tyre pressure; pull up the handbrake;
WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
Apply the sticker in a visible position
for the driver to indicate that the tyre
has been treated with the quick tyre
repair kit. Drive carefully especially
when cornering. Do not exceed 80
km/h. Avoid heavy braking and
accelerating.
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. If the pressure falls below 1.8 bars, do
not drive any further: the quick tyre
repair kit Fix & Go automatic cannot
guarantee proper hold
because the tyre
is too much damaged.
Contact Fiat
Dealership.
❒if pressure read is at least 1.8 bar, restore proper
pressure (with engine running and handbrake on)
and restart;
❒drive with the utmost care to the nearest 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; in this way
the cylinder is not connected to compressor and the sealing fluid will not
flow into the tyre.
CYLINDER REPLACEMENTPROCEDURE
To replace cylinder proceed as follows:
❒disconnect connection (A);
❒turn counter-clockwise the cylinder to replace and raise it;
❒fit the new cylinder and turn it clockwise;
❒connect connection (A) to the cylinder and fit the transparent tube (B)
into the proper space.

SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance is essential for ensuring long car
life under the best conditions.
This is why Fiat has programmed a series of checks
and maintenance operations every 20,000 km.
It is however important to remember that scheduled
servicing does not completely cover all the car’s
requirements: also in the initial period before the first
service coupon and later, between one coupon and
another, ordinary care is still required such as for
example routine check and topping up the level of
fluids, tyre pressure check, etc.IMPORTANT The Programmed Maintenance coupons
are specified by the Manufacturer. Failure to have
them carried out may invalidate the warranty.
Scheduled Servicing is performed by all Fiat Dealership,
at pre-established times.
If during each operation, in addition to the ones
programmed, the need arises for further replacements
or repairs, these may be carried out only with the
explicit agreement of the Customer.
IMPORTANT You are advised to contact Fiat
Dealership in the event of any minor operating faults,
without waiting for the next service coupon.
If your car is used frequently for towing, the interval between one service coupon and the other
must be reduced.
