INFLATION PROCEDURE
162) 163) 164) 165) 166)
Pull the handbrake. Unscrew the
tyre valve cap, take out the filler hose A
fig. 173 and tighten the ring nut B
onto the tyre valve;
insert the plug E fig. 175 in the
nearest 12 V power socket and start
the engine. Turn the selector D fig. 174
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 on the
pressure gauge F fig. 174 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 it is still
impossible after 10 minutes to reach at
least 3 bar, do not start driving since
the tyre is excessively damaged and the
quick tyre repair kit cannot guarantee
proper hold, 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.
WARNING
157)Give the booklet to the personnel who
will be handling the tyre treated with the
repair kit.
158)Holes and damage on the tyre side
walls cannot be repaired. Do not use
the quick tyre repair kit if the damage is
due to running with flat tyre.
159)Repairs are not possible in the case of
damage to the wheel rim (bad groove
distortion causing air loss). Do not remove
the foreign body (screws or nails) from
the tyre.
160)Never operate the compressor for
longer 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.161)The bottle contains ethylene glycol. It
contains latex that might cause allergic
reactions. 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,
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.

clearly visible by the driver as a reminder
that the tyre has been treated with the
quick repair kit. Drive carefully, particularly
on bends. Do not exceed 80 km/h. Avoid
sudden acceleration or braking.
164)If the pressure falls below 3 bar, do
not drive any further: the Fix & Go
automatic quick tyre repair kit cannot
guarantee suitable sealing because the tyre
is too damaged. Contact a Fiat Dealership.
165)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.
