❒ check that the compressor switch D-
fig. 4 is set at 0 (off), start the engine,
fit plug E-fig. 5 into the 12V outlet lo-
cated on the central console and then
turn the compressor on setting the
switch D-fig. 4 in position I (on). Inflate
the tyre at the pressure value specified
in paragraph “Inflation pressure” in sec-
tion “Technical Specifications”
Check tyre pressure on gauge F-
fig. 4 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;
❒ after driving for about 10 minutes stop
and check again the tyre pressure; pull
up the handbrake;
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.
