INDEXIn the event of a puncture caused by for-
eign bodies, it is possible to repair tyres
showing holes on the track or shoulder of
up to 4 mm in diameter.
It is not possible to repair damage to the
tyre sidewall. Do not use the quick repair
kit if the damage has been caused by travelling on
a flat tyre.
WARNING
If the wheel rim is damaged (the channel
is so deformed as to cause an air leakage)
it cannot be repaired. Do not remove foreign bod-
ies (screws or nails) from the tyre.
WARNING
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
The sealing fluid of the quick tyre repair kit is effective at
external temperatures of between -20 °C and +50 °C.
Do not operate the compressor for longer
than 20 minutes at a time. Risk of over-
heating. The quick repair kit is not suitable for
permanent repairs. The tyres repaired must there-
fore be used only temporarily.
WARNING
Do not dispose of the cylinder and sealant
in the open environment. Dispose of them
according to the national and local laws in
force.

INFLATION PROCEDURE
The cylinder contains ethylene glycol. It
contains latex, which may cause an aller-
gic reaction. Harmful if swallowed. Irritates the
eyes. There could be a reaction in case of inhala-
tion or contact. Avoid contact with your eyes, skin
and clothes. In the event of contact, wash imme-
diately with plenty of water. Do not induce vom-
iting if swallowed. Rinse your mouth out and drink
plenty of water. Call a doctor immediately. Keep
out of the reach of children. The product must
not be used by asthmatics. Do not breathe in the
vapours during insertion and suction. Call a doc-
tor immediately if allergic reactions are noted.
Store the canister in its proper compartment,
away from sources of heat. The sealant has an
expiry date. Replace the cylinder if its sealant is
out of date.

the quick tyre repair kit.

❒if in this case a pressure of at least 1.8 bar is not reached
within five minutes of switching on the compressor,
do not continue driving because the tyre is too dam-
aged and the hold cannot be guaranteed. Contact
a Fiat Dealership
❒if you do reach the tyre pressure specified in the “Cold
tyre pressures” paragraph of the “Technical specifica-
tions” section, continue your journey immediately; ❒make sure that switch E-fig. 145 of the compressor is
in position 0 (off), start the engine, insert plug D-fig.
144 into the socket and activate the compressor by
turning switch E-fig. 145 to position I (on). Inflate the
tyre to the pressure specified in the “Cold tyre pres-
sures” paragraph in the “Technical specifications” sec-
tion. For a more accurate reading, check pressure
gauge F-fig. 145 with the compressor off;
❒if a pressure value of a least 1.5 bar is not reached with-
in five minutes, disconnect the compressor from the
valve and socket, move the vehicle forwards by about
10 metres to distribute the sealant fluid within the tyre

❒If you get a pressure reading of at least 1.8 bar, restore
the proper pressure (with engine running and hand-
brake on) and continue your journey.
❒drive with the utmost care to the nearest Fiat Dealer-
ship. ❒after driving for about 10 minutes, stop and check the
tyre pressure again; remember to put the handbrake
on;
Apply the adhesive label where it can be
easily seen 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 sud-
denly.
WARNING
If the pressure has fallen below 1.8 bar,
do not drive any further: the automatic
Fix & Go quick tyre repair kit cannot guarantee
proper hold because the tyre is too damaged.
Contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Remember to inform the workshop that
the tyre has been treated with a quick re-
pair kit. Give the instruction booklet to the per-
sonnel charged with handling the treated tyre.

INDEXCHANGING A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒Before changing a bulb, check the contacts for rusting;
❒burnt-out bulbs must be replaced by others of the same
type and wattage;
❒always check the direction of the beam after changing
a headlight bulb;
❒when a light is not working, check that the corre-
sponding fuse is intact before changing the bulb. For
the location of fuses, refer to the “Changing a fuse”
paragraph in this section.
Changes or repairs to the electrical sys-
tem carried out incorrectly and without
due consideration for the technical specifications
of the system can lead to malfunctioning and gen-
erate a fire hazard.
WARNING
Halogen lamps contain pressurised gas.
If they break, glass fragments could fly
everywhere.
WARNING
Touch only the metal part of a halogen
lamp. Touching the transparent part of the
bulb with your fingers may reduce the in-
tensity of the emitted light and even reduce the
lifespan of the bulb. If you do touch it accidental-
ly, rub the bulb with an alcohol-soaked cloth and
leave to dry.
If possible, we recommend that you let
a Fiat Dealership replace the bulbs. Prop-
er operation and orientation of the exter-
nal lights are essential for driving safety and com-
plying with the law.
IMPORTANT The internal surface of the light may ap-
pear slightly misty: this does not indicate a fault, and is
actually caused by low temperature and the degree of hu-
midity in the air. Misting will rapidly disappear when the
headlights are switched on. The presence of drops inside
the headlights indicates infiltration of water. Go to a Fiat
Dealership.
