the quick repair kit . Drive carefully,
particularly on bends. Do not exceed 80 km/h.
Do not accelerate or brake suddenly.
WARNING
If the pressure has fallen below 1.8
bars, do not drive any further: the
Fix&Go Automatic quick tyre repair kit cannot
guarantee proper hold because the tyre is
too damaged. Contact a Fiat Dealership.

the tyre has been repaired using the
quick tyre repair kit . Give the instruction
booklet to the personnel charged with
handling the treated tyre.FOR CHECKING AND RESTORING
PRESSURE ONLY
The compressor may also be used for restoring
pressure only. Release the quick coupling and
connect directly to the tyre valve fig. 155; in this
way, the cylinder will not be connected to the
compressor and no sealing fluid will be injected.

CYLINDER REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
To replace the cylinder, proceed as follows:
❒disconnect coupling B fig. 156;
❒turn the cylinder to be replaced anticlockwise
and raise it;
❒fit the new cylinder and turn it clockwise;
❒connect coupling B to the cylinder and fit
transparent pipe A in the specific compartment.

Halogen bulbs must be handled holding
the metallic part only.Touching the
transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the emitted
light and even reduce the lifespan of the bulb. In
case of accidental contact , wipe the bulb with
a cloth moistened with alcohol and let the bulb
dry.If possible, we recommend have bulbs
replaced by a Fiat Dealership.The
correct operation and aiming of the
outer lights are absolutely essential for the
safety of the car and of compliance with law.Due to the high supply voltage, gas
discharge bulbs (Bi-Xenon) (for
versions/markets, where provided) must
only be replaced by a specialist technician:
danger of death! Contact a Fiat Dealership.IMPORTANT When the weather is cold or damp
or after heavy rain or washing, the surface of
headlights or rear lights, may steam up and/or form
drops of condensation on the inside. This is a
natural phenomenon due to the difference in
temperature and humidity between the inside and
the outside of the glass which does not indicate
a fault and does not compromise the normal
operation of lighting devices. The mist disappears
quickly when the lights are turned on, starting from
the centre of the diffuser, extending progressively
towards the edges.
