❒ an instruction leaflet, to refer to for
prompt and correct use and that must
be then given to the personnel dealing
with the tyre treated with sealant;
❒ a pair of gloves located in the side
compartment of the compressor;
❒ some adaptors, 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:
❒ engage the electric parking brake,
unscrew the tyre valve cap, take out
filler hose A fig. 134 and tighten ring nut
B on the tyre valve;

❒ make sure that the switch for the
compressor is in position 0 (off), start
the engine, insert the plug into the
power socket located on the central
tunnel and switch on the compressor
by bringing the switch to position I (on);
❒ inflate the tyre to the pressure
indicated in the "Wheels" paragraph
(see "Technical data" chapter). In order
to obtain a more precise reading, check
the pressure value on pressure gauge
B with the compressor off;
❒ if after five minutes pressure is not at
least 1.8 bar, disengage the
compressor from the valve and power
socket, then move the vehicle 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 having driven for about 10
minutes, stop and re-check the tyre
pressure; remember to engage the
electric parking brake;
❒ if a pressure value of at least 1.8 bar
F1B0229C
is detected, restore the correct
pressure (with engine running and
electric parking brake engaged),
resume driving immediately and drive
with great care to a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
147) 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.
148) Wear the protective gloves provided
with the Fix&Go automatic kit.
149) 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.
150) 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.
