PROCEDURE
158) 159) 160) 161) 162)
❒Pull the handbrake. Unscrew the tyre
valve cap, take out the filler hose A
fig. 196 and tighten the ring nut B on
the tyre valve;
❒insert the plug E fig. 198 in the
nearest 12 V power socket and start
the engine. Turn the selector D fig.
197 anticlockwise to the repair
position. Activate the kit by pressing
the on/off switch. Inflate the tyre to
the pressure specified in the "Inflation
pressure" paragraph, in the
"Technical Data" chapter;
For a more accurate reading, it is
advisable to check the pressure
reading on the pressure gauge
F fig. 197 with the compressor off
and without moving the centre
selector from the repair position;
❒if after 10 minutes it is still impossible
to reach at least 3 bar, release the
transparent filler pipe from the valve
and take out the 12 V plug, then
move the vehicle forwards by about
10 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 3 bar after 10 minutes,
do not resume driving because the
tyre is too damaged and the quick
tyre repair kit cannot guarantee
suitable sealing. Contact a Fiat
Dealership;
❒if the tyre reaches the pressure
specified in “Inflation pressure”
paragraph in the "Technical Data"
section, start driving immediately;

❒after having driven for about 10
minutes, stop and recheck the tyre
pressure; remember to apply the
handbrake;
❒if a pressure value of at least 3 bar is
detected, restore the correct
pressure prescribed in the paragraph
“Inflation pressure” in “Technical
specification” (with the engine
running and the handbrake
engaged), resume driving and drive
with care to nearest Fiat Dealership.
FOR CHECKING AND
RESTORING
PRESSURE ONLY
The compressor can also be used
solely for restoring pressure.
❒Pull the handbrake.
❒Undo the cap for the tyre valve,

quick coupling and connect it directly
to the valve of the tyre to be inflated.
❒Insert the plug in the nearest 12
V power socket and start the engine.
❒Rotate the selector clockwise to the
pressure renewal position.❒Activate the kit by pressing the on/off
switch. Inflate the tyre to the pressure
specified in the "Inflation pressure"
paragraph, in the "Technical Data"
chapter.
NOTE If the tyre has to be deflated,
press the dedicated button B
illustrated in fig. 200. For a more
accurate reading, it is advisable to
check the pressure reading on
the pressure gauge with the
compressor off and without moving
the centre selector from the
pressure renewal position.BOTTLE

IN AN EMERGENCY

WARNING
153) Give the instruction booklet to
the tyre repair workshop
personnel.
154) Punctures on the sides of the
tyre cannot be repaired. Do not
use the quick tyre repair kit if the
damage is due to running with flat
tyre.
155) If the wheel rim has been
damaged (bent so as to cause air
to leak), the wheel cannot be
repaired. Do not remove the
foreign body (screws or nails)
from the tyre.
156) Do not use the compressor for
more than 20 consecutive
minutes. Risk of overheating.
Tyres repaired with the quick tyre
repair kit must only be used
temporarily, as the kit is not
suitable for a definitive repair.157) The bottle contains ethylene
glycol. It contains latex that might
cause allergic reactions. 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 event of
contact, wash immediately with
plenty of water. Do not induce
vomiting if swallowed. Rinse your
mouth and drink plenty of water.
Call a doctor immediately. Keep
out of the reach of children. The
product must not be used by
asthmatics. Do not breathe in the
vapours during insertion and
suction. Call a doctor immediately
if allergic reactions are noted.
Store the bottle in its proper
compartment, away from sources
of heat. The sealant has an expiry
date. Replace the bottle if the
sealant has expired.
158) Wear the protective gloves
provided together with the quick
tyre repair kit.
159) affix the adhesive label in an
easy-to-see position for the driver
as a reminder that the tyre has
been treated with the quick tyre
repair kit. Drive carefully,
particularly on bends. Do not
exceed 80 km/h. Do not
accelerate or brake suddenly.160) If the pressure falls below 3
bars, do not drive any further: the
Fix & Go automatic quick tyre
repair kit cannot guarantee proper
hold because the tyre is too much
damaged. Contact a Fiat
Dealership.
161) You must inform the dealership
that the tyre has been repaired
using the quick tyre repair kit.
Give the booklet to the personnel
who will be handling the tyre
treated with the repair kit.
162) If different tyres from the ones
supplied with the vehicle are
used, it may not be possible to
carry out the repair. If the tyres
are replaced, it is advisable to use
those approved by the
manufacturer. Consult a Fiat
Dealership.
IMPORTANT
44) Punctures caused by foreign
bodies can be repaired if the
damage does not exceed 4 mm on
the tread and on the shoulder of
the tyre.
207

IMPORTANT
2) Replace the bottle containing the
sealant after the expiry date.
Dispose of the bottle and
the sealant properly. Have the
sealing fluid and the bottle
disposed of in compliance with
national and local regulations.
CHANGING A BULB
GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
45)
163) 164)
❒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
chapter.
❒before changing a bulb check the
contacts for oxidation;
❒burnt bulbs must be replaced by
others of the same type and power;
❒always check the headlight beam
direction after changing a bulb;
IMPORTANT A slight misting may
appear on the internal surface
of the headlight: this does
not indicate a fault and is caused
by low temperature and the degree
of humidity in the air. Misting will
rapidly disappear when the
headlights are switched on. The
presence of drops inside the
headlights indicates infiltration of
water. Contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT
45) Halogen bulbs must be handled
by 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 the event
of accidental contact, wipe the
bulb with a cloth moistened with
alcohol and let the bulb dry.
WARNING
163) 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.
164) Halogen bulbs contain
pressurised gas; in the case of
breakage they may burst.
