one tank A containing the sealing fluid, provided
with: filler tube B and adhesive label C with the
writing "Max. 80 km/h”, to be attached in a
position easily visible to the driver (on the
dashboard) after tyre repair;
compressor D complete with pressure gauge and
connectors;
an instruction leaflet fig. 139, to refer to for
prompt and correct use and that must be then
given to the personnel dealing with the tyre
treated with sealant;
a pair of protective gloves located in the side
compartment of the compressor;
some adaptors, for inflating different elements.TYRE REPAIRING AND PRESSURE
RESTORING PROCEDURE
Proceed as follows:
place the vehicle in a safe and suitable area,
engaging the parking brake. Take the kit from the
specific compartment. Remove the adhesive
label of speed C fig. 138 and apply it in a visible
position. Wear the protective gloves provided.
Remove the cap from the valve B fig. 140 of
the punctured tyre and connect and firmly tighten
the transparent tube of the sealing fluid A;
ensure that the on-off button E fig. 142 is in the 0
(OFF) position. If provided, open the cover of the
compressor D fig. 138 and insert the electrical
connector in the 12V socket of the vehicle
fig. 141, switch on the vehicle engine;

activate the compressor moving on-off button E
to the I (ON) fig. 142 position. When the
pressure gauge F indicates the right pressure for
the vehicle, switch off the compressor by moving
the on-off switch F to the 0 position. If after 5
minutes from the compressor ignition, the
pressure gauge F indicates a pressure less than 1.8
bar / 26 psi, switch off the compressor, disconnect
the sealing fluid tube from the tyre valve,
re-screw the valve cap and move the vehicle about
10 meters to allow the distribution of sealing
fluid in the tyre. Securely stop the vehicle and
repeat the operation above until reaching the
required pressure. If after other 5 min. from the
compressor ignition, the pressure gauge F still
indicates a pressure lower than 1.8 bar / 26 psi,
the TYRE IS TOO DAMAGED AND CANNOT
BE REPAIRED. Remove and place the kit in the
specific compartment and contact a Fiat
Dealership;if the required pressure is reached, restart driving.
Do not exceed 80 km/h. Avoid sudden
acceleration or braking. After driving for about 8
km / 5 miles, place the vehicle in a safe and
suitable area, engaging the parking brake. Pick up
the kit, ensure the on-off switch E is in the 0
position, insert the electrical connector in the
vehicle 12V socket. Remove the cap from the
valve of repaired tyre, disconnect and pull out the
black inflation tube fig. 143, connect it to the
valve and lock it with the lever. Inspect the
pressure gauge F to check the tyre pressure
fig. 142;
if the pressure indicated is lower than 1.8 bar / 26
psi, the TYRE IS TOO DAMAGED AND
CANNOT BE REPAIRED. Remove and place the
kit in the specific compartment and contact a Fiat
Dealership;

if the pressure indicated is equal to or higher than
1.8 bar / 26 psi, switch on the compressor and
reach the required pressure. Disconnect and
replace the kit in the specific compartment.
Carefully drive and reach the Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible;
PRESSURE RESTORING
The compressor can also be used to check and, if
necessary, restore the tyre pressure. Disconnect and
pull out the black inflation tube, connect and block
it to the tyre valve fig. 143 with the lever. With
the same procedure it is possible to inflate bicycle
tyres and balloons. The kit should be used by adults
and cannot be used by children.CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT
Only use Fix&Go original cartridges which can be
purchased at Fiat Dealership. To remove the
cartridge, disengage the coupling of the black
inflation tube B fig. 144, rotate the cartridge
anticlockwise and then lift it; insert the new
cartridge, rotate it clockwise to end of travel
position, insert the coupling of the black inflation
tube blocking it with the stalk and then rewind the
transparent tube A in the compressor site.

SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is essential for ensuring long
vehicle life under the best conditions.
This is why Fiat has planned a series of checks and
services every 30,000/35,000 km.
It is, however, important to remember that
scheduled servicing does not completely cover all the
requirements of the vehicle: even in the initial period
before 30,000/35,000 km, and then subsequently,
between one service and another, ordinary care
is always required such as routine checks involving
topping up fluid levels, checking tyre pressures etc.
IMPORTANT The Scheduled Servicing coupons
are set out by the Manufacturer. Failure to comply
with the schedule may invalidate the warranty.
Scheduled Servicing is performed by all Fiat
Dealerships, at pre-established times.If, during any service, the need arises for additional
replacements or repairs, these may be carried out
only with the explicit agreement of the Customer.
IMPORTANT It is advisable to inform a Fiat
Dealership of any small operating irregularities
without waiting for the next service.
The interval between scheduled services must be
reduced if your vehicle is used frequently for towing
trailers.

cleanliness and lubrication of linkage;
visually inspect the conditions of: engine, gearbox,
transmission, pipes and hoses (exhaust/fuel
supply/brakes), rubber parts (boots/sleeves/
bushes, etc.);
check battery charge and battery fluid level
(electrolyte);

Refer to the paragraph "Vehicle inactivity" in "Starting
and driving" if the vehicle is left parked for a long
time.
If, after buying the vehicle, you want to install
electric accessories which require permanent electric
supply (alarm, etc.) contact the Fiat Dealership
whose qualified personnel, in addition to suggesting
the most suitable devices, will evaluate the overall
electric absorption, checking whether the vehicle
electric system is capable of withstanding the load
required, or whether it should be integrated with
a more powerful battery.
Since these devices continue to use electricity even
when the engine is off, they gradually run down
the battery.WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre, including the spare,
every two weeks and before long journeys. The
pressure should be checked with the tyre rested and
cold.
It is normal for the pressure to increase when the
vehicle is used; for the correct tyre inflation
pressure, see the "Wheels" paragraph in the
"Technical specifications" chapter.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre wear
fig. 188:
Anormal pressure: tread evenly worn.
Blow pressure: tread particularly worn at the edges.
Chigh pressure: tread particularly worn in the
centre.
The tyres must be replaced when the tread is less
than 1.6 mm thick. In any case, follow the laws
in force in the country you are in.
