❒ make sure that switch D-fig. 14 of the
compressor is in position 0 (off), start
the engine, plug into the socket E-fig.
15 and operate the compressor turn-
ing switch D-fig. 14 to position I (on).
Inflate the tyre to the pressure speci-
fied in the “Inflation pressure” para-
graph, “Technical Specifications” chap-
ter.
For a more accurate reading, check
pressure gauge F-fig. 14 with the
compressor off;
❒ if after 5 minutes it is still impossible
to reach at least 1.5 bar, disengage com-
pressor from valve and current outlet,
then move the car forth for approx. ten
metres in order to distribute the seal-
ing fluid inside the tyre evenly, then re-
peat the inflation operation;
❒ If after this operation it is still impossi-
ble after 5 minutes to reach at least 1.8
bar, do not start driving since the tyre
is excessively damaged and the quick
tyre repair kit cannot guarantee suit-
able sealing, contact Fiat Dealership;
❒ if reaching the tyre pressure specified
in paragraph “Inflation pressure” in sec-
tion “Technical Specifications”, start
driving immediately;
Apply the adhesive label in a
position clearly visible by the
driver as a reminder that the tyre has
been treated with the quick repair kit.
Drive carefully, particularly on bends.
Don’t exceed 80 km/h. Don’t accel-
erate and brake suddenly.
WARNING
❒ after driving for about 10 minutes stop
and check again the tyre pressure; pull
up the handbrake;
Stop if the pressure has
dropped to less than 1.8
bars: the automatic Fix & Go quick
repair kit cannot work properly be-
cause the tyre is excessively damaged.
Go to a Fiat Dealership.
