2013 Alfa Romeo MiTo technical specifications

Repairs are not possible in the case of damage to the
wheel rim (bad groove distortion causing air loss).
Do not remove foreign bodies (screws or nails) from
the tyre.Never operate the compressor for longer than 20
consecutive minutes. Risk of overheating. The kit is not
suitable for definitive repairs, so the repaired tyres
may only be used temporarily.Dispose of the bottle and the sealant liquid properly. Have
the sealing fluid and the cylinder disposed of in compliance
with national and local regulations.
The bottle contains ethylene glycol and latex: it may
cause an allergic reaction. It is harmful if swallowed. It
is irritant for the eyes in case of contact. 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, rinse
immediately with plenty of water. If ingested, do not induce
vomiting. Rinse out your mouth, drink large quantities of water
and seek immediate medical attention. Keep out of the reach
of children. The product must not be used by asthmatics. Do not
inhale 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 an expiry date. Replace the bottle containing out-of-
date sealant fluid.

INFLATION PROCEDURE
Wear the protective gloves provided with the kit.
Proceed as follows:
❒engage the handbrake, unscrew the tyre valve cap, take out the
flexible filler pipe A fig. 126 and tighten the ring nut B on the tyre
valve;
❒make sure that switch A fig. 127 for the compressor is in position 0
(off), start the engine, insert the plug A fig. 128 into the power
socket on the central tunnel and switch on the compressor by
bringing switch A fig. 127 to position I (on);
❒inflate the tyre to the pressure indicated in the “Wheels” paragraph
in the “Technical specifications” section. In order to obtain a more
precise reading, check the pressure value on pressure gauge B
fig. 127 with the compressor off;❒if after five minutes it is still impossible to reach at least 1.8 bar,
disengage the compressor from the valve and power socket, then
move the car forwards by approx. ten metres in order to distribute
the sealing fluid inside 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 pressure
again; remember to put the handbrake on;
❒if a pressure value of at least 1.8 bar is detected, restore the correct
pressure (with the engine running and the handbrake engaged),
resume driving and drive with great care to Alfa Romeo Authorized
Services.
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 carefully,
particularly on bends. Do not exceed 80 km/h. Do not accelerate
or brake suddenly.If the pressure has fallen below 1.8 bar, do not drive
any further: the Fix&Go Automatic quick tyre repair kit
cannot guarantee the correct hold because the tyre is
too damaged. Contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.
Inform the dealership that the tyre has been repaired
using the quick tyre repair kit. Give the leaflet to the
technicians who will be handling the tyre that was
repaired using the quick repair kit.

Release quick connector A fig. 129 and connect it directly to the valve
of the tyre to be inflated.
REPLACING THE BOTTLEProceed as follows:
❒release connector A fig. 130 and disconnect tube B;
❒turn the bottle to be replaced anticlockwise and raise it;
❒fit the new bottle and turn it clockwise;
❒insert connector A and tube B in their housings.

CHANGING A BULBGENERAL INSTRUCTIONS❒Before changing a bulb check the contacts for oxidation;
❒blown bulbs must be replaced with others of the same type and
power;
❒after replacing a headlight bulb, always check its alignment;
❒when a light is not working, check that the corresponding fuse is
intact before changing a bulb. For the location of fuses, refer to
the paragraph “Replacing fuses” in this section.
Halogen bulbs must be handled holding the metal 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.Modifications or repairs to the electric system that are
not carried out properly or do not take the system
technical specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.Halogen bulbs contain pressurised gas which may
cause small fragments of glass to be projected
outwards if the bulb is broken.
Due to the high power supply voltage, gas discharge
bulbs (Bi-Xenon) should only be replaced by
specialised personnel: danger of death! Contact Alfa
Romeo Authorized Services.
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.
