❒ make sure the compressor switch D-

fig. 6 is set to 0 (off), start the engine
and fit plug A-fig. 7 into the nearest
current outlet and then turn on the
compressor by setting switch D to I
(on). Inflate the tyre to the pressure
specified in paragraph “Inflation pres-
sure” in section “Technical Specifica-
tions”. Check tyre pressure on gauge F
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 “Inflation pressure” in sec-
tion “Technical Specifications”, start
driving immediately;

Apply the sticker in a visible
position for the driver to in-

dicate that the tyre has been treat-
ed with the quick tyre repair kit. Dri-
ve carefully especially when corner-
ing. Do not exceed 80 km/h. Avoid
heavy braking and accelerating.

WARNING

If the pressure falls below 1.8
bars, do not drive any fur-

ther: the quick tyre repair kit Fix & Go
automatic cannot guarantee proper
hold because the tyre is too much
damaged. Contact Fiat Dealership.

WARNING

❒ after driving for about 10 minutes stop

and check again the tyre pressure; pull
up the handbrake;

❒ if at least 1.8 bar pressure is read, re-

store proper pressure (with engine
running and handbrake on) and restart;

❒ drive with the utmost care to the near-

est Fiat Dealership.
