Please note that:
❒the jack weight is 4.5 kg;
❒the jack requires no adjustment;
❒the jack cannot be repaired. If it breaks it must be
replaced with a new jack;
❒no tool other than its cranking device may be fitted
on the jack.
Repair and refit the standard wheel as
soon as possible. Do not apply grease to
the bolt threading before assembly: they might
come unscrewed.
WARNING
The jack may only be used to replace
wheels on the car which it equips or
other cars of the same model. Never use the
jack for other purposes, such as lifting other car
models. Never use the jack to carry out repairs
under the vehicle. Incorrect positioning of the
jack may cause the lifted vehicle to fall. Do not
use the jack for loads higher than those shown
on the label.
WARNING
Never tamper with the inflation valve.
Never introduce tools of any kind
between rim and tyre. Check tyre and spare
wheel pressure regularly referring to the values
shown in the “Technical Specifications” section.
WARNING
No tools other than the crank provided
should be used with the spare wheel
lifting device; it should be operated by hand
only.
WARNING
To change a wheel proceed as follows:
❒stop the vehicle in a position where it does not pose
a danger for on-coming traffic and where you can
replace the wheel safely. The ground must be flat
and sufficiently compact;
❒turn the engine off and pull up the handbrake;
❒engage first gear or reverse;
❒wear the reflecting safety jacket (compulsory by law
in certain countries) before getting out of the
vehicle;

❒instruction brochure (see fig. 171), to be used for
prompt and proper use of the quick repair kit and
then to be handed to the personnel charged with

INFLATION PROCEDURE
The cylinder contains ethylene glycol.
Contains latex: may cause an allergic
reaction. Harmful if swallowed. Eye irritant.
May cause sensitisation on inhalation or
contact. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and
clothes. In the event of contact, wash
immediately with plenty of water. Do not
induce vomiting 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 breathe in the vapours during insertion
and suction. Call a doctor immediately if
allergic reactions are noted. Store the bottle in
the specific compartment, away from sources of
heat. The sealant fluid has a limited life.
WARNING
Replace the bottle containing out of date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 protective gloves provided
together with quick tyre repair kit.

For a more accurate reading, it is advisable to check
the pressure reading on the pressure gauge F-fig. 173
with 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 12 V current pin, then
move the vehicle about 10 metres forward to
distribute the sealant liquid inside the tyre and repeat
the inflation operation;
❒if after this operation it is still not possible to reach
at least 3 bar after 10 minutes, do not start driving
since the tyre is excessively damaged and the fast
tyre repair kit cannot guarantee adequate hold.
Contact a Fiat Dealership;
❒if the tyre reaches the pressure specified in the
“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
repair 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; pull up the handbrake.
If the pressure falls below 3 bars, do not
drive any further: the quick tyre repair kit
Fix & Go automatic cannot guarantee adequate
hold because the tyre is too damaged. Contact
a Fiat Dealership.
