and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle
with the air conditioner turned off
until the temperature gauge drops
back into the normal range. If the
temperature gauge remains on the
red zone "H," turn the engine off
immediately and contact the Service
Network.
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned
by hot engine coolant (antifreeze) or
steam from your radiator. If you see
or hear steam coming from under the
hood, do not open it until the radiator
has had time to cool.
Never try to open a coolant bottle
pressure cap (refer to "Maintenance
Procedures" in section "Maintenance
and Care") when the radiator is
overheated.
In case of a Punctured Tire
The vehicle can be equipped with
a tire repair kit or with a compact
spare wheel, depending on the
destination markets and on customer
requirements.
Using Tire Repair Kit
Small punctures up to 6 mm (1⁄4")
in the tire tread can be sealed using
the tire repair kit, fitted beneath
the ground coverage of the boot
compartment (see chapter "Tool Kit"
in this section).
The kit consists of two parts:
• an electric compressor with pressure
gauge and power cable;
• a bottle containing sealant with hose
to be connected to the punctured
tire.
In an Emergency
NOTE:
For the tire repair procedures with tire
repair kit see instructions included in
the kit.
This kit will provide a temporary tire
seal, allowing you to drive your vehicle
up to 10 km (6 miles) with a maximum
speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).
CAUTION!
•
Intruding objects (e.g., screws or
nails) should not be removed from
the tire, which could compromise the
repair with the tire repair kit.
•
Do not use the tire repair kit if the
tire shows lateral damages and/or the
rim is damaged by driving with flat
tire.
•
Tire repair kit can be used in outside
temperatures down to approximately
-20°C (-4°F).
•
Replace the tire repair kit sealant
bottle prior to the expiration date
(printed on the bottle label) to assure
optimum operation of the system.
NOTE:
• The compressor power plug can be
inserted either in the 12 V power
outlet housed in the boot or inside
the passenger compartment (see
