❒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.

WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre, includ-
ing the spare, every two weeks and before
long journeys. The pressure should be
checked with the tyre rested and cold.
It is normal for pressure to rise when you
are driving. For the correct tyre inflation
pressure, see “Wheels” in section “Tech-
nical specifications”.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre
wearfig. 13:
Anormal pressure: tread evenly worn.
Blow pressure: tread particularly worn
at the edges.
Chigh pressure: tread particularly worn
in the centre.
Tyres must be replaced when the tread
wears down to 1.6 mm. In any case, com-
ply with the laws in the country where the
vehicle is being driven.

IMPORTANT NOTES
❒As far as possible, avoid sharp brak-
ing and screech starts etc. Be careful
not to hit the kerb, potholes or oth-
er obstacles hard. Driving for long
stretches over bumpy roads can dam-
age the tyres;
❒periodically check that the tyres have
no cuts in the side wall, abnormal
swelling or irregular tyre wear. If any
of these occur, have the vehicle seen
to at a Fiat Dealership;
❒avoid overloading the vehicle when
travelling: this may cause serious dam-
age to the wheels and tyres;
❒if a tyre is punctured, stop immediately
and change it to avoid damage to the
tyre, the rim, suspensions and steer-
ing system;
❒tyres age even if they are not used
much. Cracks in the tread rubber are
a sign of ageing. In any case, if the
tyres have been on the vehicle for
over 6 years, they should be checked
by specialised personnel, to see if they
can still be used. Also remember to
check the spare wheel;
❒in the case of replacement, always fit
new tyres, avoiding those of dubious
origin;
❒if a tyre is changed, also change the in-
flation valve;
❒to allow even wear between the front
and rear tyres, it is advisable to change
them over every 10-15 thousand kilo-
metres, keeping them on the same
side of the vehicle so as to not reverse
the direction of rotation.
Remember that road holding
depends also on the correct
tyre inflating pressure.
