FIAT 500 - Manual (Page 139)

❒ if after 5 minutes it is still impossible to reach at
least 1.5 bar, disengage the compressor from the
valve and power socket, then move the car
forwards by approx. 10 metres in order to
distribute the sealant inside the tyre evenly, then
repeat the inflation operation;
❒ if after this operation you still cannot reach at least
1.8 bar after 5 minutes, do not resume driving
because the tyre is too damaged and the quick
tyre repair kit cannot guarantee suitable sealing.
Contact a Fiat Dealership;
❒ if the tyre pressure specified in the "Tyre pressure"
paragraph in the "Technical specifications" chapter
has been reached, start driving immediately;
WARNING
Apply the adhesive label where it can be
easily seen by the driver as a reminder
that the tyre has been treated with the quick
repair kit. Drive carefully, particularly on bends.
Do not exceed 80 km/h. Do not accelerate or
brake suddenly.
❒ after driving for about 10 minutes stop and check
the tyre pressure again; pull up the handbrake;
WARNING
If the pressure has fallen below 1.8 bar,
do not drive any further: the Fix&Go
Automatic quick tyre repair kit cannot
guarantee the correct hold because the tyre is
too damaged. Contact a Fiat Dealership.
❒ if at least 1.8 bar pressure is read, restore correct
pressure (with engine running and handbrake on)
and restart;
❒ drive with the utmost care to the nearest Fiat
Dealership.
WARNING
Always indicate that the tyre was
repaired using the quick tyre repair kit.
Give the instruction booklet to the personnel
charged with handling the treated tyre.
