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
161)Give the booklet to the personnel who
will be handling the tyre treated with the
repair kit.
162)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.
163)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.
164)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.165)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.

use a second lead to connect the
negative terminal (–) of the auxiliary
battery to the earth point as shown in
fig. 200;
start the engine;
when the engine has been started,
remove the cables reversing the order
above.
If after a few attempts the engine does
not start, do not persist but contact
the nearest Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Do not directly connect
the negative terminals of the two
batteries: sparks could ignite explosive
gas released from the battery. If the
auxiliary battery is installed on another
vehicle, avoid any metal parts on the
latter and the vehicle with the flat
battery from accidentally coming into
contact.

pushing, towing or driving downhill.
This could cause fuel to flow into the
catalytic converter and damage it
beyond repair.
WARNING
171)This starting procedure must be
performed by expert personnel because
incorrect actions could cause electrical
discharge of considerable intensity.
Furthermore, battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive: avoid contact with skin and
eyes. Keep naked flames and lighted
cigarettes away from the battery and do
not cause sparks.

RECHARGING
IMPORTANT The battery recharging
procedure is given as information only.
To carry out this operation contact a
Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT After setting the ignition
device to STOP and having closed the
driver side door, wait at least one
minute before disconnecting the
electrical supply from the battery. When
reconnecting the electrical supply to
the battery, make sure that the ignition
device is in the STOP position and
the driver side door is closed.
IMPORTANT Charging should be slow
at a low ampere rating for
approximately 24 hours. Charging for a
longer time may damage the battery.IMPORTANT The cables of the
electrical system must be correctly
reconnected to the battery, i.e. the
positive cable (+) to the positive
terminal and the negative cable (–) to
the negative terminal. The battery
terminals are marked with the positive
(+) and negative (–) symbols, and are
shown on the battery cover. The battery
terminals must also be corrosion-free
and firmly secured to the terminals. If a
"quick-type" battery charger is used
with the battery fitted on the car,
disconnect both battery leads before
connecting it. Do not use a "quick-type"
battery charger to provide the starting
voltage.
