IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
The sealant fluid for the quick tyre repair
kit is effective at outside temperatures
between -20 °C and +50 °C.
The sealant fluid has an expiry date.
Do not operate the com-
pressor for longer than 20
minutes consecutively. Risk of over-
heating. The quick repair kit is not
suitable for definitive repairs. Tyres
may only be repaired temporarily.
WARNING
In the case of a puncture,
caused by a foreign body,
tyres that have suffered
damage up to a maximum
diameter of 4 mm on the tread or the
shoulder can be repaired.
The kit cannot be used to
repair damage to the tyre
sidewall. Do not use the quick
repair kit if the tyre is damaged as a
result of driving with it deflated.
WARNING
In the case of damage to
the wheel rim (deformation
of the channel that causes an air
leak), it cannot be repaired. Do not
remove foreign bodies (screws or
nails) from the tyre.

may cause an allergic reaction.
Harmful if swallowed. Irritates the
eyes. May cause sensitization by
inhalation or contact. Avoid contact
with your eyes, skin and clothes. In
the event of contact, wash immedi-
ately with plenty of water. Do not
induce vomiting if swallowed. Rinse
your mouth and drink plenty of
water. Call a doctor immediately.

❒insert the pin E-fig. 14in the near-
est 12V current socket and start the
engine. Turn the selector D-fig. 13
anti-clockwise to the repair position.
Activate the kit by pressing the
on/off switch. Inflate the tyre to the
pressure specified in the “Inflation
pressure” paragraph, in the “Technical
Data” chapter.For a more accurate reading, it is
advisable to check the pressure
reading on the pressure gauge F-
fig. 13with the compressor off and
without moving the centre selector
from the repair position;
❒if a pressure of at least 3 bar is not
reached within 10 minutes, detach
the transparent filler pipe from the
valve and switch off the 12V current
pin, then move the vehicle about 10
metres forward to distribute the
sealant liquid inside the tyre and
repeat the inflation operation;
❒if, in this case too, within 10 minutes
of turning the compressor on, a
pressure of at least 3 bar is not
reached, do not start driving again
because the tyre is too damaged and
the quick repair kit is not sufficient in
this situation and it is necessary to
go to a Fiat Dealership;
❒if the tyre reaches the pressure spec-
ified in “Inflation pressure” pressure
in the “Technical Data” chapter,
start driving immediately;
fig. 13F0N0827m
fig. 14F0N0182m
Apply the adhesive label in a
position clearly visible by the
driver as a reminder that the tyre has
been treated with the quick repair
kit. Drive carefully, particularly on
bends. Do not exceed 80 km/h. Do
not accelerate or brake suddenly.
WARNING
❒after driving for about 10 minutes,
stop and check the tyre pressure
again; remember to engage the
handbrake;
❒if, on the other hand, a pressure of at
least 3 bar is reached, restore the cor-
rect pressure recommended in the
“Tyre inflation” paragraph in the
“Technical Data” chapter (with engine
running and handbrake on) and
resume driving;
Stop if the pressure has
dropped to less than 3 bar:
The automatic Fix & Go fast repair
kit cannot work properly if the tyre
is excessively damaged. Go to a Fiat
Dealership.

pressure specified in the “Inflation
pressure” paragraph, in the
“Technical Data” chapter.
NOTE If the tyre has to be deflated,
press the dedicated button Billustrated
in fig. 16.
For a more accurate reading, it is advis-
able to check the pressure reading on the
pressure gauge with the compressor off
and without moving the centre selector
from the repair position.CANISTER REPLACEMENT

WHEN NEEDING TO
CHANGE A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒When a light is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before changing a bulb. For the loca-
tion of fuses, refer to the paragraph “If
a fuse blows” in this section;
❒Before changing a bulb check the con-
tacts for oxidation;
❒Burnt bulbs must be replaced by oth-
ers of the same type and power;
❒Always check the height of the head-
light beam after changing a bulb.
IMPORTANT The headlight inner surface
may be lightly misted over: this is not a
fault but a natural fact due to low tem-
perature and the level of air humidity. It
will disappear as soon the headlights are
turned on. The presence of drops inside
the headlights means water infiltration,
therefore contact Fiat Dealership.
TYPES OF BULBS
Various types of bulbs are fitted to your
vehicle:
AGlass bulbs: clipped into position. Pull
to remove.BBayonet type bulbs: to remove this
type of bulb from its holder, press the
bulb and turn it counter-clockwise.
CTubular bulbs: release them from
their contacts to remove.
D-EHalogen bulbs: to remove the bulb,
release the clip holding the bulb in
place. Halogen bulbs must be han-
dled touching only the metal-
lic part. If the transparent bulb
is touched with the fingers, its
lighting intensity is reduced and life of
the bulb may be compromised. If
touched accidentally, rub the bulb with
a cloth moistened with alcohol and al-
low to dry.
Modifications or repairs to
the electrical system (elec-
tronic control units) carried out in-
correctly and without bearing the fea-
tures of the system in mind can cause
malfunctions with the risk of fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pres-
surised gas which, if broken,
may cause small fragments of glass to
be projected outwards.
