Start the engine by pressing the start button (see
page 114).
Press the Fix&Go button
E at position “I”. The
electric compressor will activate and the liquid
with air will inflate the tyre.
A pressure of at least 1.8 bar (26 psi) should
be reached within 20 minutes. If this does not
occur, turn off and remove the Fix&Go kit.
Move the vehicle forward and backward by 10
metres to better distribute the sealant in the tyre.Attach the quick-connector of the compressor
directly on the tyre valve and repeat the inflation
procedure.
If the minimum tyre pressure is not reached,
do not start the vehicle. Contact an Authorised
Service Centre of the Manufacturer’s
Network.
When the correct pressure has been reached,
move the vehicle forward and backward to
evenly distribute the sealant in the tyre.
After 10 minutes, stop and check the tyre
pressure. If the pressure is below 1.3 bar
(19 psi), do not drive the vehicle. The tyre is
excessively damaged. Contact an Authorised Service Centre of the
Manufacturer’s Network.
If the pressure is equal to or greater than 1.3
bar (19 psi), repeat the inflation procedure until
reaching the adequate tyre pressure and resume
driving.
Remove the warning label
F from the bottle and
position it on the dashboard as a reminder to
the driver that the tyre has been treated with
automatic Fix&Go.

IF YOU HAVE TO
TOW THE VEHICLE If you need to tow the vehicle, observe the
following recommendations:
- if possible, have the vehicle transported on
a vehicle equipped with loading platform
and specifi c for roadside assistance and
recovery.
If this is not possible:
- Tow the vehicle for a stretch of less than
100 km at a speed below 60 km/h, using
the towing hook provided in the toolkit.To be able to tow the vehicle, you must:
- Turn the ignition key to MAR without
starting the engine (see page 87)
- Engage neutral (position N) by
simultaneously pulling the gearshift paddles
UP and DOWN while holding the brake
pedal depressed (see page 118)
- turn the key back to position STOP.
CAUTION
Do not extract the key, as the
steering wheel will lock automatically
and you will be unable to steer the
wheels.
CAUTION
When towing the vehicle, make
sure that you observe the road traffic
regulations concerning both the towing
device and driving conduct.CAUTION
When towing the vehicle with
the engine off, remember that, without
the assistance of the brake servo, a
stronger effort is required on the brake
pedal for braking and on the steering
wheel for steering.
CAUTION
Screw down the towing hook
into its seat (approx. 11 turns).
Accurately clean the threaded seat
before tightening the hook.
WARNING: If you have to tow the vehicle with 2
wheels raised, ensure that the ignition key is in
the STOP position. Otherwise, when the VDC is
active, the relative ECU will store a malfunction,
which will cause the illumination of the warning
light
on the instrument panel display. This
requires the intervention of an Authorised
Service Centre of the Manufacturer’s Network
to correct the system malfunction.

IN AN EMERGENCY
IN THE EVENT OF
AN ACCIDENT It is important always to stay calm.
- If you are not directly involved, stop at a
distance of at least ten metres away from
the accident area.
- If you are on a highway, stop without
obstructing the emergency lane.
- Turn off the engine and turn on the hazard
warning lights.
- At night, illuminate the accident area with
the headlights.
- Always act with caution: you should not risk
someone crashing into you.
- Indicate that an accident has occurred
by placing the emergency triangle in a
well visible position and at the prescribed
distance.
- Call the emergency services, providing as
much information as possible. On highways,
use the special emergency call boxes.
- Remove the ignition key from the vehicles
involved.
- If you smell fuel or other chemical products,
do not smoke and ask people around you to put their cigarettes out.
To extinguish fires, even small ones, use a fire
extinguisher, blankets, sand or earth. Never use
water.
In multiple accidents occurred on highways,
particularly where visibility is poor, there is a
high risk of being involved in other collisions.
Leave your vehicle immediately and move away
from it. IF THERE ARE INJURED
PERSONS
- Never leave an injured person alone.
Persons not directly involved in the accident
are also required to give assistance.
- Do not crowd around injured persons.
- Reassure the injured person that aids are on
the way and stay close to them to help with
possible panic attacks.
- Unfasten or cut the seat belts restraining
the injured persons.
- Do not give the injured persons anything to
drink.
- The injured person should never be moved.
- Remove the injured person from the vehicle
only if there is a risk of fi re, sinking in water
or falling down into a pit. When removing
an injured person, do not pull his/her limbs,
bend his/her head and, as far as possible,
keep the body in a horizontal position.
