INFLATING PROCEDURE

Put on the protection gloves
provided together with quick

tyre repair kit.

WARNING

❒ Pull up the handbrake. Loosen tyre

inflation valve cap, take out the filler
hose A-fig. 15 and screw the ring nut
B on the tyre valve;

❒ make sure the compressor switch

E-fig. 17 is set to 0 (off), start the en-
gine and fit plug D-fig. 16 into the cig-
ar lighter outlet and then turn on the
compressor by setting switch E-fig. 17
to I (on). Inflate the tyre to the pres-
sure specified in paragraph “Cold tyre
inflation pressure” in section “Techni-
cal specifications”. Check tyre pressure
on gauge F-fig. 17 with compressor off
to obtain precise reading;

❒ 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 “Cold tyre inflation pres-
sure” in section “Technical specifica-
tions”, start driving immediately;
