(FOLLOWS)
• 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.
Avoid sudden acceleration or braking.
• If the pressure has fallen below 1.5 bar, do not drive any
further: the Fix&Go quick tyre repair kit cannot guarantee the
correct hold because the tyre is too damaged. Contact a Fiat
Dealership.
If instead a pressure value of at least 1.5 bar is detected,
restore the correct pressure (with the engine running and the
handbrake engaged), resume driving and drive with great care
to the nearest Fiat Dealership
• Always indicate that the tyre was repaired using the quick
tyre repair kit. Give the leaflet to the personnel charged with
handling the tyre treated with the tyre repair kit.
34) CHANGING A BULB
• Modifications or repairs to the electric system that are not
carried out properly or do not take the system technical
specifications into account can cause malfunctions leading to
the risk of fire.
• Halogen bulbs contain pressurised gas, in the case of
breakage they may burst causing glass fragments to be
projected outwards.
• Due to the high power supply voltage, gas discharge bulbs
(Xenon) should only be replaced by specialised personnel:
danger of death! Contact a Fiat Dealership.
35) REPLACING FUSES
• If the replaced fuse blows again, contact a Fiat Dealership.

PERSONAL SAFETY
• Never replace a blown fuse with metal wires or other material.
• Never replace a fuse with another with a higher amp rating:
DANGER OF FIRE.
• If a general fuse (MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-FUSE, MAXI-FUSE) cuts
in, do not attempt any repair and contact a Fiat Dealership.
• Before replacing a fuse, make sure that the ignition key
has been removed and that all the other devices are switched
off and/or deactivated.
• If a general protection fuse for safety systems
(airbag system, braking system), power unit systems (engine
system, transmission system) or steering system blows, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
36) BATTERY RECHARGING
• Battery fluid is poisonous and corrosive:
avoid contact with your skin and eyes. The battery must be
recharged in a well ventilated area and away from open flames
and objects that might create sparks, in order to avoid
explosion or fire.
• Do not attempt to charge a frozen battery: it must be thawed
first, otherwise it may explode.
If freezing has occurred, the battery should be checked by skilled
personnel to make sure that the internal elements are not
damaged and that the body is not cracked, with the risk of
leaking poisonous and corrosive acid.
37) TOWING THE CAR
• Before tightening the ring clean the threaded housing
thoroughly. Make sure that the ring is fully fastened in the
housing before towing the vehicle.
