WARNING
92) Indicate the presence of thestationary car in accordance with
current regulations: hazard
warning lights, warning triangle,
etc. Those on board should get
out of the vehicle and wait for the
wheel to be repaired away from
the threat posed by the traffic.
If parked on a slope or rough
surface, chock the wheels with
wedges or other suitable devices
(for the correct procedure for
parking the car safely, refer to the
"Parking" paragraph in the
"Starting and driving" chapter).
93) Give the booklet to the technicians who will be handling
the tyre that was treated using
the "Fix&Go automatic" kit.
94) A repair is not possible if the wheel rim is damaged (groove
is deformed, causing air to
escape). Do not remove foreign
bodies (screws or nails) from the
tyre. 95) Do not use the compressor for
more than 20 consecutive
minutes. Risk of overheating. The
kit is not suitable for definitive
repairs, so the repaired tyres may
only be used temporarily.
96) The bottle contains ethylene glycol and latex: it may cause
an allergic reaction. It is harmful if
swallowed. Eye irritant. It may
cause sensitisation if inhaled or
on contact. Avoid contact with
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 its special
compartment, away from sources
of heat. The sealant has an expiry
date. Replace the bottle if the
sealant has expired.
97) Wear the protective gloves provided with the kit. 98) 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, especially on
corners. Do not exceed 80 km/h.
Avoid sudden acceleration or
braking.
99) If the pressure has fallen below 1.8 bar, 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 dedicated
Alfa Romeo Dealership.
100) Always indicate that the tyre was repaired using the quick
tyre repair kit. Give the booklet to
the personnel charged with
handling the tyre treated with the
repair kit.
