❒
arrange the container and tools in the spare wheel and
secure the clamping device B;
❒
correctly reposition the boot stiff cover.
IMPORTANT Do not use inner tubes with tubeless tyres.
Check the inflation pressure of the tyres and the space-
saving wheel regularly.
IMPORTANT You will need to change the set of bolts if
you want to change the type of wheels fitted (alloy rims
instead of steel rims, and vice versa).The whole set of fas-
tening bolts must be replaced by another set of suitably
sized bolts and use a special space-saving wheel having dif-
ferent building characteristics.
You should keep the bolts and space-saving wheel in case
you decide to use the original type of wheel later on.

make sure that the compressor switch D-fig. 135 is in
position 0 (off), start the engine, fit the plug E-fig. 136
in the 12 V-socket in the central tunnel and operate the
compressor turning the switch D-fig. 135 to position I
(on). Inflate the tyre at the pressure value specified in
paragraph “Inflation pressure” in chapter “Technical
specifications”.
For a more accurate reading, check pressure gauge
F-fig. 135 with the compressor off;
❒
if after five minutes it is still impossible to reach at least
1.5 bar, disengage the compressor from the valve and
current socket, 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;
INFLATING PROCEDURE
Replace the bottle containing out of date
sealant fluid. Dispose of the bottle and the
sealant liquid properly. Dispose according
to the national and local regulations in force.Put on the protection gloves provided to-
gether with quick tyre repair kit.

❒
if after this operation it is still not possible to reach at
least 1.8 bar after five minutes, do not start driving since
the tyre is excessively damaged and the fast tyre re-
pair kit cannot guarantee suitable sealing. Contact
a Fiat Dealership;
❒
if the tyre reaches the pressure specified in “Inflation
pressure” paragraph in the “Technical Specifications”
chapter, start driving immediately;
Apply the adhesive label in a position
clearly visible by the driver as a reminder
that the tyre has been treated with the quick re-
pair kit. Drive carefully, particularly on bends. Do
not exceed 80 km/h. Do not accelerate and brake
suddenly.
WARNING
❒
after driving for about 10 minutes stop and check the
tyre pressure again; remember to engage the handbrake;
If the pressure falls below 1.8 bar, 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
a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
❒
if at least 1.8 bar pressure is read, restore proper pres-
sure (with engine running and handbrake on) and
restart;
❒
drive with the utmost care to the nearest Fiat Dealer-
ship.
