The equipment in the relative tool bag
varies according to the vehicle's

32) 33) 34) 35) 36) 37) 38)
To take the kit out, move the seat as far
forward as possible and lower the
backrest.
Undo the tool bag fixing screw C
fig. 258 and then turn the bag to
remove it.Precautions for using the kit
The kit must not be used for more than
15 consecutive minutes.
With the engine started and the
handbrake engaged;unwind the hose from the canister;
connect compressor hose 3
fig. 259 to the canister 8,
depending on the versions, connect
or screw in canister 8 to the
compressor where there is a hollow 7
fig. 259;
unscrew the tyre valve cap involved
and screw the inflation hose 1 fig. 259;
disconnect all the accessories
previously connected to the accessory
socket;
only connect plug 2 fig. 259 to the
vehicle’s accessory socket;
press switch 4 fig. 259 to inflate the
tyre to the prescribed pressure (refer to
the "Tyre inflation pressure” paragraphin the “Maintenance and care” chapter);
after 15 minutes at most, stop
inflating;
NOTE While emptying the canister
(about 30 seconds), the pressure gauge
5 fig. 259 briefly indicates a pressure of
up to 6 bar, then it goes back down
again.
adjust the pressure: to increase it,
continue inflating the tyre with the kit; to
lower it, press button 6 fig. 259.
If after 15 minutes a minimum pressure
of 1.8 bar has not been reached, it
means that you cannot repair the tyre;
do not drive and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
Once the tyre has been correctly
inflated, remove the kit: slowly unscrew
the inflation hose 1 fig. 259 so the
product does not spatter and replace
the canister in a plastic bag so that the
product does not leak out.
Attach the instruction label on the
dashboard where the driver can see it;
replace the kit in the tool bag and put
it back under the driver's seat;
when the first inflation has been
done, the tyre will continue to lose air
and you need to start driving again to
plug the hole;
leave immediately and drive at a
speed between 20 and 60 km/h to
uniformly distribute the product on the
tyre and, after 3 kilometres, stop to
check the pressure;
