❒after having driven for about 10 minutes, stop and
recheck the tyre pressure; remember to apply the
handbrake;
WARNING
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 Fiat Dealership.
❒if, on the other hand, the pressure is at least 1.8
bar, restore the correct pressure (with the engine
running and the handbrake applied) and resume
driving;
❒drive with the utmost care to the nearest Fiat
Dealership.
WARNING
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.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. 132; in this way, the cylinder will
not be connected to the compressor and no sealing
fluid will be injected.

ENGINE OIL
Engine oil check
Check the oil level a few minutes (about 5) after the
engine has stopped, with the vehicle parked on
level ground.
Take out the dipstick A fig. 168, clean it and then
fully reinsert it; take it out and check that the level is
between the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick.
The interval between MIN and MAX corresponds to
about 1 litre of oil.Topping up the engine oil
If the oil level is near or even under the MIN line,
add oil through the filler B fig. 168 to reach the MAX
line.
The oil level should never exceed the MAX line.
IMPORTANT If the engine oil level after the check is
over the MAX level, go to a Fiat Dealership to
have the correct level restored.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing the oil, let the
engine turn over for a few seconds and wait a few
minutes after turning it off before you check the
level.

IMPORTANT
❒Avoid braking suddenly, burning starts and violent
knocks against the curb, potholes or other
obstacles if possible. Long distances on uneven
roads can damage the tyres;
❒check the tyres regularly for cuts on the sides,
swelling or irregular tread wear. Go to a Fiat
Dealership if required.
❒avoid overloading the car when travelling: this may
cause serious damage to the wheels and tyres;
❒if a tyre is punctured, stop immediately and charge
it to avoid damage to the tyre, the rim,
suspensions and steering system;
❒a tyre will age even if it is not used much. Cracks
in the tread and on the sidewalls are a sign of
ageing. In any event, have the tyres checked by
specialised personnel if they have been fitted for
longer than six years. Remember to check the
spare wheel very carefully;
❒in the case of replacement, always fit new tyres,
avoiding those of dubious origin;
❒if a tyre is changed, also change the inflation valve;
❒to allow even wear between the front and rear
tyres, it is advisable to change them over every
10-15 thousand kilometres, keeping them on the
same side of the vehicle so as not to reverse
the direction of rotation.
WARNING
Remember that the road holding
qualities of your vehicle also depend on
the correct inflation pressure of the tyres.
WARNING
Excessively low pressure will cause
overheating of the tyre and may cause
severe tyre damage.
WARNING
Do not exchange the tyres from the left
to the right of the vehicle and vice versa.
WARNING
Do not repaint alloy wheel rims at
temperatures higher than 150°C.The
mechanical characteristics of the wheels might
be compromised.

Windows
Use specific detergents to clean the windows. Also
use clean cloths to avoid scratching the glass or
altering the transparency.
IMPORTANT Wipe the rear window gently with a
cloth in the direction of the filaments to avoid
damaging the heating device.
Engine compartment
At the end of each winter, thoroughly wash the
engine compartment, taking care to avoid spraying
the water jet directly onto the electronic control
units and the relay/fuse box on the left side of the
engine compartment (as you look from behind
the wheel). Have this operation performed at a
specialist garage.
IMPORTANT The washing should take place with the
engine cold and the ignition key in the STOP
position. After the wash, make sure that the various
protective devices (e.g. rubber caps and guards)
have not been removed or damaged.
Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g.
petrol) or ketenes (e.g. acetone) for cleaning the
plastic lenses of the front headlights.
INTERIORSCheck regularly that water is not trapped under the
mats (from dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.) which
could cause the metal to rust.
WARNING
Never use flammable products, such as
petroleum ether or modified petrol,
to clean the inside of the vehicle.The
electrostatic charges which are generated by
rubbing during the cleaning operation may
cause a fire.
WARNING
Do not keep aerosol cans in the vehicle:
these could explode. Aerosol cans must
not be exposed to temperatures of more than
50°C .When the vehicle is exposed to sunlight ,
the temperature inside can greatly exceed
this value.
