It is not possible to repair damage to the tyre side-
wall. Do not use the kit on tyres damaged by run-
ning with a flat tyre.
If the wheel rim is damaged (the channel is so de-
formed as to cause air leakage) it cannot be re-
paired. Do not remove the foreign body (screw
or nail) from the tyre.
Do not operate the compressor for longer than 20
minutes consecutively. Risk of overheating. The kit
is not suitable for permanent repairs. The tyres re-
paired may only be used temporarily.
Dispose of the bottle and sealing liquid it contains
properly. Dispose according to the national and local
laws in force.
The bottle contains ethylene and latex: it may
cause an allergic reaction. Harmful if swallowed.
Irritating for eyes. There could be a reaction in the
event of inhalation or contact. Avoid contact with the eyes,
skin and clothes. In the event of contact, wash immedi-
ately with plenty of water. Do not induce vomiting if swal-
lowed. Rinse your mouth and drink plenty of water. Call
a doctor immediately. Keep away from children. The prod-
uct must not be used by asthmatics. Do not breathe in
the vapours during insertion and suction. Call a doctor im-
mediately if allergic reactions are noted. Store the bottle
in the specific compartment, away from sources of heat.
The sealant has an expiry date. Replace the cylinder if
its sealant is out of date.
❍a pair of gloves located in the side compartment of the com-
pressor;
❍adapters for inflating different elements.
IMPORTANT The sealing liquid is suitable for use at temperatures
in the range from –20°C to +50°C. The sealant has an expiry
date.
Hand over the instruction booklet to the personnel
charged with treating the tyre repaired with the
Automatic Fix&Go kit.
In the event of a puncture caused by foreign bod-
ies, the kit may be used to repair tyres showing
damage to the tread or shoulder up to a maximum
diameter of 4 mm.

❍inflate the tyre to the pressure shown in the “Wheels” para-
graph in the “Technical Specifications” chapter. In order to ob-
tain a precise reading, check the pressure on pressure gauge
B-fig. 126 with the compressor off;
❍if after 5 minutes you cannot reach at least 1.8 bar, unplug the
compressor from the valve and the socket, then move the car
forward about ten metres in order to distribute the sealant in-
side the tyre evenly, then repeat the inflation operation;
❍if you still cannot obtain a pressure of at least 1.8 bar within
5 minutes from the compressor switching on, do not drive off
and contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services;
❍after driving for about 10 minutes, stop and check the tyre pres-
sure again; remember to put the handbrake on;
Apply the adhesive label where it can be easily
seen by the driver as a reminder that the tyre has
been treated with the quick repair kit. Drive care-
fully, particularly on bends. Do not exceed 80 km/h. Do
not accelerate or brake suddenly.
❍if a pressure value of at least 1.8 bar is detected, restore the
correct pressure (with the engine running and the handbrake
engaged), and drive with care to Alfa Romeo Authorized Ser-
vices.
If the pressure has fallen below 1.8 bar, do not dri-
ve any further: the Automatic Fix&Go quick tyre
repair kit cannot guarantee proper hold because
the tyre is too damaged. Contact Alfa Romeo Authorized
Services.
Remember to inform the workshop that the tyre
has been treated with a quick repair kit. Give the
instruction booklet to the personnel charged with
handling the treated tyre.

Add +0.3 bar to the prescribed pressure when the tyres are warm. Check correct pressure on a cold tyre.
With snow tyres, add +0.2 bar to the pressure prescribed for standard tyres.
When running at speeds higher than 160 km/h, inflate tyres at full-load pressures.
