IN AN
EMERGENCY
❒ make sure that switch D-fig. 10 of the
compressor is in position 0 (off), start
the engine, plug into the nearest sock-
et E-fig. 11 and activate the compres-
sor by turning switch D-fig. 10 to po-
sition I (on). Inflate the tyre to the
pressure specified in the “Inflation
pressure” paragraph in the “Technical
specifications” section.
For a more accurate reading, check
pressure gauge F-fig. 10 with the com-
pressor off;
❒ if after 5 minutes you cannot reach at
least 1.5 bar, unplug the compressor
from the valve and the socket, then
move the car forward about ten metres
in order to distribute the sealant inside
the tyre evenly, then repeat the infla-
tion 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 fast tyre repair
kit cannot guarantee suitable sealing.
Contact a Fiat Dealership;
❒ if you do reach the tyre pressure spec-
ified in the “Inflation pressure” para-
graph in the “Technical specifications”
section, start driving immediately;
fig. 10 F0M0202m
fig. 11 F0M0203m
fig. 12 F0M0364m
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, particular-
ly on bends. Do not exceed 80 km/h.
Do not accelerate or brake suddenly.
WARNING
❒ after driving for about 10 minutes, stop
and check the tyre pressure again; re-
member to put on the handbrake;
If the pressure has fallen be-
low 1.8 bar, do not drive any
further: the Fix & Go automatic quick
tyre repair kit cannot guarantee
proper hold because the tyre is too
damaged. Contact a Fiat Dealership.
