❒if after this operation you still cannot
reach at least 3 bar after 10 minutes,
do not resume driving because the

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
