❒ instruction booklet to be used for
prompt and correct use of the kit and
then to be handed to the personnel
charged with handling the treated tyre;
❒ a pair of protective gloves located
in the side compartment of the
compressor;
❒ adapters for inflating different
elements.
IMPORTANT The sealing fluid is
effective with external temperatures of
between –20°C and +50°C. The sealing
fluid has an expiry date.
INFLATION PROCEDURE
Proceed as follows:
❒ Pull the handbrake. Unscrew the
tyre valve cap, take out the filler hose A
fig. 116 and tighten the ring nut B on
the tyre valve;
114
❒ make sure that the compressor
switch A is in position 0 (off), start the
engine, insert the plug into the power
socket in the central tunnel or the
luggage compartment (for
versions/markets where provided) and
operate the compressor, turning switch
A to position I (on).

❒ inflate the tyre to the pressure
specified in the "Inflation pressure"
paragraph in the "Technical
specifications" section. Check tyre
pressure on gauge B with compressor
off to obtain a more precise reading;
❒ if after five minutes it is still impossible
to reach at least 1.8 bar, disengage
the compressor from the valve and
power socket, then move the car
forwards by approx. ten metres in order
to distribute the sealing fluid 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
from switching on the compressor,
do not resume driving but contact a
Fiat Dealership;
❒ after driving for about 10 minutes
stop and check the tyre pressure again;
engage the handbrake and park
safely;
❒ if a pressure value of at least 1.8 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.
WARNING
F0Y0010C
124) Punctures on the sides of the tyre
may not be repaired. Do not use the
Fix&Go automatic kit if the tyre is damaged
due to travelling when flat.
125) Wear the protective gloves provided
with the Fix&Go automatic kit.
126) Apply the adhesive label where it can
be easily seen by the driver as a reminder
that the tyre has been treated with the
Fix&Go automatic kit. Drive carefully,
particularly on bends. Do not exceed 80
km/h. Do not accelerate or brake suddenly.
127) If the pressure has fallen below 1.8
bar, do not drive any further: the Fix&Go
Automatic kit cannot guarantee proper
hold because the tyre is too damaged.
Contact a Fiat Dealership.
