REPAIR PROCEDURE
Proceed as follows:
stop the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic where
you can carry out the procedure safely.
The ground must be flat and sufficiently
compact;
stop the engine, engage the hazard
warning lights and the parking brake;
wear the reflective safety jacket
before getting out of the car (anyway
comply with the laws in force in the
country you are driving in);
Insert the cartridge 1 containing the
sealant in the proper compartment of
the compressor 2, pressing it down
hard fig. 183. Remove the speed limit
sticker 3 and apply it in a clearly visible
position fig. 184;
wear the gloves;
remove the cap from the tyre valve
and connect and firmly tighten the
transparent tube of the sealing fluid 4
fig. 183. If a 250 ml cartridge is present
the housing of the transparent tube is
provided with removable ring to
facilitate extraction. Make sure that the
ON-OFF button 5 fig. 185 is in the off
position (button not pressed);
insert the electrical connector 6
fig. 186 into the 12V socket on the car;
operate the compressor by pressing
the ON-OFF button 5 fig. 185. When
the pressure shown in the Owner
Handbook or on the specific label
appears on the pressure gauge 7, stop
the compressor by pressing the
ON-OFF button 5 again;
disconnect the cartridge 1 from the
compressor, by pressing the release
button 8 and lifting the cartridge
1 upwards fig. 187.

IN AN EMERGENCY
If the pressure gauge 7
fig. 185 indicates a pressure lower than
1.8 bar / 26 psi 15 minutes after
starting the compressor, switch off the
compressor, disconnect the sealing
fluid tube 4 from the tyre valve and
remove the cartridge 1 from the
compressor fig. 187.
Move the car by approximately 10 m to
distribute the sealant; stop the car
safely, engage the handbrake and use
the black inflation pipe 9 fig. 188 to
reach the required pressure. If also in
this case, the pressure is lower than
1.8 bar / 26 psi after 15 minutes, do not
resume driving but contact a Fiat
Dealership.After driving for about 8 km / 5 miles,
position the car in a safe and suitable
area and engage the handbrake. Take
the compressor and restore pressure
using the black inflation tube 9 fig. 188.
If the pressure shown is higher than
1.8 bar / 26 psi, restore the pressure
and drive safely to a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible. If, however, the
pressure is lower than 1.8 bar / 26 psi,
do not resume driving but contact a Fiat
Dealership.
INFLATION PROCEDURE
Proceed as follows:
stop the car safely, as described
above, and operate the handbrake;
extract the black inflation tube 9
fig. 188 and screw it firmly onto the tyre
valve. Follow the instructions shown in
fig. 186 and fig. 188.
Press the air release button 10
fig. 185 to adjust any tyre overpressure.
CARTRIDGE
REPLACEMENT
Proceed as follows:
only use original Fix&Go cartridges,
which can be purchased from the Fiat
Dealership.
to remove the cartridge 1 fig. 183,
press the release button 8 fig. 187 and
lift it.
WARNING
153)The information required by the
applicable regulation is indicated on the
Fix&Go kit package label. Carefully read the
label on the cartridge before use, avoid
improper use. The kit should be used by
adults and cannot be used by children.
154)IMPORTANT: Do not exceed 80 km/h.
Avoid sudden acceleration or braking. The
kit provides a temporary repair, therefore
the tyre must be examined and repaired by
a specialist as soon as possible. Before
using the kit, ensure that the tyre is not
excessively damaged and that the rim is in
good condition, otherwise do not use it
and call roadside assistance. Do not
remove foreign bodies from the tyre. Do
not let the compressor turned on for more
than 20 consecutive minutes - overheating
hazard.

WHEELS AND TYRES
178) 179) 180) 181) 182)
SNOW CHAINS
86)
205/55 R16 and 195/65 R15 tyres can
be fitted with 9 mm snow chains.
7 mm chains can be fitted to
225/45 R17 tyres.
Chains cannot be fitted on
225/40 R18 92W XL tyres.
Important notes
The use of snow chains should be in
compliance with local regulations of
each country. In certain countries, tyres
marked with code M+S (Mud and
Snow) are considered as winter
equipment; therefore their use is
equivalent to that of the snow chains.
The snow chains may be applied only
to the front wheel tyres.
Check the tension of the snow chains
after the first few metres have been
driven.
IMPORTANT Using snow chains with
tyres with non-original dimensions may
damage the vehicle.IMPORTANT Using different size or type
(M+S, snow, etc.) tyres between front
and rear axle may adversely affect
vehicle driveability, with the risk of losing
control of the vehicle and resulting
accidents.
WARNING
178)The road holding qualities of the car
also depend on the correct inflation
pressure of the tyres.
179)If tyre pressure is too low, it may
overheat and be severely damaged as a
result.
180)If the tyres are "unidirectional", do not
switch tyres from the right-hand side of the
vehicle to the left-hand side, and vice
versa. This type of tyres can only be
switched from the front axle to the rear axle
and vice versa, keeping them on the same
side of the vehicle.
181)Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the use of
temperatures exceeding 150°C. The
mechanical properties of the wheels could
be impaired.
182)Travelling with partially or completely
deflated tyres can cause safety problems
and damage the concerned tyre beyond
repair.
IMPORTANT
86)Keep your speed down when snow
chains are fitted; do not exceed 50 km/h.
Avoid potholes, do not drive over steps or
sidewalks and do not drive long distances
over roads without snow, to avoid
damaging both your vehicle and the road
surface.

SERVICING AND CARE
WHEELS
SNOW TYRES
187)
Use snow tyres of the same size as the
standard tyres provided with the car.
The Fiat Dealership will be happy to
provide advice concerning the most
suitable type of tyre for the customer's
requirements.
For the type of snow tyre to be used,
inflation pressures and the
specifications of the tyres, carefully
follow the instructions given in this
chapter.
The winter features of these tyres are
reduced considerably when the tread
depth is below 4 mm. Replace them in
this case.
Due to the specific characteristics of
snow tyres, in normal weather
conditions or on long motorway
journeys, the performance of these
tyres is lower than that of standard
tyres.
Their usage should therefore be
restricted in accordance with their
type-approval; always comply with
specific local regulations relating to the
use of snow tyres.All four tyres should be the same (brand
and track) to ensure greater safety
when driving and braking as well as a
good manoeuvrability. Remember that
you should not change the rotation
direction of the tyres.
209
COLD TYRE INFLATION PRESSURE (bar)
When the tires are warm, the inflation pressure should be + 0.3 bar in relation to the recommended figure. However, recheck
that the value is correct with the tyre cold.
If it is necessary to raise the vehicle, refer to the "Raising the vehicle" paragraph in the "In an emergency" chapter.
