Automatic FIX&GO QUICK TYRE
REPAIR KIT
(for versions/markets where provided)
The automatic tyre Fix & Go repair kit is positioned at
the front of the vehicle passenger compartment and
includes:
❒cylinder A containing sealer and fitted with:
– a transparent filler pipe B;
– a black pressure restoring pipe E;
– an adhesive label C with the message “max.
80 km/h” to be applied in a position clearly visible
by the driver (on the dashboard) after repairing
the tyre;
❒instruction brochure (see fig. 177), to be used for
prompt and proper use of the quick repair kit and
then to be handed to the personnel charged with
handling the treated tyre;
Each time the spare wheel is moved,
check that it is correctly positioned in its
housing under the floor. If it is not correctly
positioned, this could adversely affect safety.
WARNING
❒introduce the supplied wrench C-fig. 168 with the
suitable extension B-fig. 167 on the screw A-fig. 167
of the spare wheel housing manoeuvring device and
turn clockwise 2 to lift the spare wheel back up until
it is fully supported in its housing beneath the floor
pan, checking that the attachment reference
D-fig. 168 appears in the window on the device.
❒Check the correct position of the replaced wheel
under the floor (the lifting system is supplied with
a clutch to limit the end of the stroke). Incorrect
positioning may jeopardise safety.
❒place the removal spanner back in the tool box;
❒place the tool box in its housing under the passenger
seat.

connections;
❒adapters for inflating various elements;
❒protective gloves.
Hand the leaflet over to the staff who
have to manage the tyre treated using
the tyre repair kit.
WARNING
In the case of a puncture, caused by
a foreign body, tyres that have suffered
damage up to a maximum diameter of
4 mm on the tread or the shoulder can be
repaired.
The kit cannot be used to repair damage
to the tyre sidewall. 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
(screw or nail) 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.
The sealing fluid will expire.
Do 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.

RAISING THE VEHICLE
If the vehicle needs to be lifted, go to a Fiat Dealership
which is equipped with arm hoists or workshop lifts.
The vehicle must only be raised laterally by placing the
ends of the arms or workshop lift in the areas shown in
fig. 216.
Do not start the engine whilst the
vehicle is being towed.
WARNING
Before towing, switch off the steering lock
(see „Starting device“ paragraph under the
„Dashboard and controls“ chapter). The brake
servo and power steering will not work while the
vehicle is being towed. More effort on the brake
pedal and steering wheel will therefore be
required. Do not use flexible cables when towing
and avoid jerky movements. During towing
operations, make sure that the fastened joint does
not damage adjoining components. When towing
the vehicle comply with the specific rules of the
Highway Code regarding both the towing device
and the behaviour to maintain on the road.
WARNING
TOWING THE VEHICLE
The vehicle is equipped with two rings for attaching the
tow hook.
The front ring is located in the tool box beneath the
passenger side seat. On versions with Fix&Go kit and
without spare wheel, the tool box is available only on
request for versions/markets where provided. In the
absence of the tool box the vehicle tow hook is housed
in the on-board documentation container, together with
the Owner Handbook.

POWER STEERING FLUID fig. 230
Check that the liquid contained in the tank is at the
maximum level. This operation must be carried out with
the vehicle level and with the engine off and cold. Check
that the fluid level is up to the MAX mark on the
dipstick attached to the fuel cap (use the level shown on
the 20°C side of the dipstick to check when cold).
If the level of the fluid in the tank is lower than the
specified level, top up using only one of the products
indicated in the “Fluid and lubricants” table in the
“Technical specifications” section, proceeding as follows:
❒Start the engine and wait for the level of fluid in the
tank to stabilise.
❒With the engine running, turn the steering wheel
from right to left fully, several times.

Power steering fluid consumption is very
low. If the fluid needs topping up a short
time after the last top-up, have the
system checked by a Fiat Dealership to ensure
there are no leaks.
Do not press the power steering end of
travel lock for longer than 8 consecutive
seconds with the engine running because
it will cause noise and risk damaging the system.
❒Top up the fuel to the MAX level and then retighten
the cap.
Prevent power steering fluid from
coming into contact with hot engine
parts: the liquid is flammable.

IMPORTANT NOTES
❒Avoid braking suddenly, burning starts and violent
knocks against the curb, potholes or other obstacles
if possible. Driving for long stretches over bumpy
roads can damage the tyres;
❒check the tyres regularly for cuts on the sides,
swelling or irregular tread wear. Contact a Fiat
Dealership if required.
❒avoid overloading the car when travelling: this may
cause serious damage to the wheels and tyres;
❒if a tyre is punctured, stop the vehicle immediately
and change it to avoid damage to the tyre, the rim,
the suspensions and the steering system;
❒a tyre will age even if it is not used much. Cracks in
the tread and on the sidewalls are a sign of ageing.
Have the tyres checked by skilled personnel if they
have been fitted for longer than six years. Also
remember to check the space-saver wheel very
carefully;
❒In the case of replacement, always fit new tyres,
avoiding those with an unknown origin.
❒If a tyre is replaced, also change the inflation valve.
❒to allow an even wear between the front and rear
tyres, it is advisable to change them over every
10-15 thousand kilometres, keeping them on the
same side of the vehicle so as not to reverse the
direction of rotation.
WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre, including the space-
saver wheel, approximately every two weeks and before
long journeys: the pressure should be checked with the
tyre rested and cold. It is normal for the pressure to
increase when the vehicle is used; for the correct tyre
inflation pressure, see “Wheels” in the “Technical
specifications” section. Incorrect pressure causes
abnormal tyre wear fig. 233:
A normal pressure: tread evenly worn.
B low pressure: tread particularly worn at the edges.
C high pressure: tread particularly worn in the centre.
The tyres must be replaced when the tread is less than
1.6 mm thick. In all cases, follow the laws in force in the
country where you are driving.

RUBBER HOSES
As far as the brake system and fuel rubber hoses are
concerned, follow the “Scheduled Servicing Programme”
in this chapter carefully.
Ozone, high temperatures and prolonged lack of fluid in
the system may cause hardening and cracking of the
hoses, with possible leaks.
Careful inspections are therefore necessary.Remember that the road holding
qualities of your vehicle also depend on
the correct inflation pressure of the tyres.
WARNING
If the pressure is too low the tyre will get
overheated, with the risk of serious
damage.
WARNING
Avoid moving the tyres from the right
side of the vehicle to the left side and
vice versa.
WARNING
Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the use of
temperatures exceeding 150 °C. The mechanical
properties of the wheels could be impaired.
