/ 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.
121. Move the vehicle by approximately
10 m to promote the distribution of
sealant; stop the vehicle safely, operate
the handbrake and restore pressure
using the black inflation pipe 9 fig. 126
to reach the required pressure. If also
in this case, the pressure is lower
than 1.8 bar / 26 psi 15 minutes after
turning on, do not resume driving
but contact a Fiat Dealership.After driving for about 8 km / 5 miles,

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.
