❒make sure that the switch for the
compressor is in position0(off), start
the engine, insert the plug into the
power socket located on the central
tunnel and switch on the compressor
by bringing the switch to positionI(on);
❒inflate the tyre to the pressure
indicated in the “Wheels” paragraph
(see “Technical data” chapter). In order
to obtain a more precise reading, check
the pressure value on pressure gauge
B with the compressor off;
❒if after five minutes pressure is not at
least 1.8 bar, disengage the
compressor from the valve and power
socket, then move the vehicle forwards
by approx. ten metres in order to
distribute the sealing fluid inside the tyre
evenly, then repeat the inflation
operation;❒if after this operation you still cannot
reach at least 1.8 bar after 5 minutes
from switching on the compressor,
do not resume driving but contact a
Fiat Dealership;
❒after having driven for about 10
minutes, stop and re-check the tyre
pressure; remember to engage the
electric parking brake;
❒if a pressure value of at least 1.8 bar
is detected, restore the correct
pressure (with engine running and
electric parking brake engaged),
resume driving immediately and drive
with great care to a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
140)Punctures on the sides of the tyre
may not be repaired. Do not use the
Fix&Go automatic kit if the tyre is damaged
due to travelling when flat.
141)Wear the protective gloves provided
with the Fix&Go automatic kit.
142)Apply the adhesive label where it can
be easily seen by the driver as a reminder
that the tyre has been treated with the
Fix&Go automatic kit. Drive carefully,
particularly on bends. Do not exceed 80
km/h. Do not accelerate or brake suddenly.
143)If the pressure has fallen below 1.8
bar, do not drive any further: the Fix&Go
automatic kit cannot guarantee proper hold
because the tyre is too damaged. Contact
a Fiat Dealership.144)You must always indicate that the tyre
was repaired using the Fix&Go automatic
kit. Give the leaflet to the technicians who
will be handling the tyre that was treated
using the Fix&Go automatic kit.
145)Repair is not possible if the wheel rim
is damaged (tread is deformed, causing
air to escape). Do not remove foreign
bodies (screws or nails) from the tyre.
146)Do not operate the compressor for
longer than 20 minutes consecutively. Risk
of overheating. The Fix&Go automatic kit
is not suitable for definitive repairs, so
the repaired tyres may only be used
temporarily.
147)The bottle contains ethylene glycol
and latex: it may cause an allergic reaction.
It is harmful if swallowed. It is irritant for
the eyes. It may cause sensitisation if
inhaled or on contact. Avoid contact with
eyes, skin and clothes. In the case of
contact, wash immediately with plenty of
water. In the event that it is swallowed, 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.

STARTING
55)
If the battery is flat, a jump starting can
be performed using the battery and
the cables of another vehicle, or using
an auxiliary battery. In all cases, the
battery used must have a capacity
equal to or a little higher than the flat
one.IMPORTANTDo not use an auxiliary battery or any
other source of external supply with
a voltage above 12 V: the battery, the
starter, the alternator and the electrical
system of the vehicle could be
damaged.
Do not attempt jump starting if the
battery is frozen. The battery could
break and explode!JUMP STARTINGThe vehicle battery is located in the
engine compartment, behind the left
