Tyre side wall holes and punctures cannot
be repaired. Do not use the quick repair
kit if the tyre is damaged as the vehicle has run on
a flat tyre.
WARNING
If the wheel rim is damaged (bad groove
distortion causing air leakage) it cannot
be repaired. Do not remove the foreign body
(screws or nails) from the tyre.
WARNING
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT:
The sealing fluid of the quick tyre repair kit is effective with
external temperatures between −20 °C and +50 °C.
The sealing fluid has a limited life.
Never not operate the compressor for
longer than 20 consecutive minutes. Risk
of overheating. The quick repair kit is not suitable
for definitive repairs. Tyres may only be repaired
temporarily.
WARNING
The bottle contains ethylene glycol. It con-
tains latex that might cause allergic reac-
tions. It is harmful if swallowed. It is irritant for the
eyes in case of contact. It may cause sensitisation
by inhalation or contact. Avoid contact with your
eyes, skin and clothes. In the event of contact, wash
immediately with plenty of water. Do not induce
vomit if swallowed. Rinse your mouth and drink
plenty of water. Call a doctor immediately. Keep
away from children. The product must not be used
by asthmatics. Do not inhale the vapours during in-
sertion and suction. Call a doctor immediately if al-
lergic reactions are noted. Store the bottle in the
specific compartment, away from sources of heat.
The sealant fluid has a limited life.

❒
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Replace the bottle containing out of date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.
WARNING
❒
Ensure that the handbrake is engaged. Remove the tyre
valve cap, extract the flexible filler tube A-fig. 134 and
fasten the ring B onto the tyre valve;

❒
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.

BOTTLE REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
To replace the bottle, proceed as follows:❒
disconnect the connection A-fig. 139;
❒
turn the bottle counter-clockwise to replace and raise
it;
❒
fit the new bottle and turn it clockwise;
❒
secure the connection A to the bottle and fit the trans-
parent tube B in the relevant compartment.
Absolutely inform the dealership that the
tyre has been repaired using the quick tyre
repair kit. Hand the instruction brochure over to
the personnel charged with treating the tyre re-
paired with the kit.
WARNING
FOR CHECKING AND RESTORING PRESSURE
ONLYThe compressor can be also used just for restoring pres-
sure. Release the bottle connection A-fig. 139 and connect
it directly to the tyre valve fig. 138; in this way the bottle
is not connected to the compressor anymore and the seal-
ing fluid will not flow into the tyre.

CHANGING A BULBGENERAL INSTRUCTIONS❒
Before changing a bulb check the contacts for oxidation;
❒
burnt bulbs must be replaced by others of the same type
and power;
❒
always check the headlight beam aiming after changing
a bulb;
❒
when a light is not working, check that the corre-
sponding fuse is intact before changing a bulb. For the
location of fuses, refer to the paragraph “Replacing fus-
es” in this chapter.
Modifications or repairs to the electric sys-
tem that are not carried out properly or
do not take the system technical specifications in-
to account can cause malfunctions leading to the
risk of fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain gas under pressure;
if they break, glass fragments may be dis-
persed.
WARNING
When handling halogen bulbs, only touch
the metal part. If the transparent bulb is
touched with the fingers, its lighting inten-
sity is reduced and life of the bulb may be com-
promised. In the event of accidental contact, wipe
the bulb with a cloth moistened with alcohol
and leave it to dry.
IMPORTANT The headlight inner surface might be slight-
ly misted: this should not be considered irregular rather
a natural phenomenon due to low temperature and the air
humidity level. Misting will disappear as soon as the head-
lights are turned on. The presence of drops inside the
headlights indicates infiltration of water. Contact a Fiat
Dealership.
Where possible, it is advisable to have bulbs
changed at a Fiat Dealership. The correct
operation and aiming of the outer lights are
absolutely important to the safety of the car and
its passengers and the subject of specific laws about
road traffic.
