(screws and joints) can also cause injuries: avoid
touching them. If you become soiled with thelubricating grease, clean it off thoroughly;
fully loosen the four fastening bolts and remove
the wheel;
make sure the contact surfaces between spare
wheel and hub are clean so that the fastening bolts
will not come loose;
fit the standard wheel by inserting the first bolt
two threads B fig. 135 into the hole closest to
the inflation valve A;
fit the hub cap, making sure that the symbol(on
the cup) aligns with the inflation valve, and then
insert the other three bolts;

possible to repair tyres which have been damaged
on tread up to a diameter of 4mm; however,
tyres damaged on their side cannot be repaired.
Before using Fix&Go kit , ensure that the tyre isn't
excessively damaged and that the rim is in good
condition, otherwise do not use it and contact
a Fiat Dealership. Do not remove foreign bodies
from the tyre. Do not let the compressor turned
on for more than 20 consecutive minutes -

RESTORING PROCEDURE
Proceed as follows:
place the vehicle in a safe and suitable area,
engaging the parking brake. Take the kit from the

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;
