❒ make sure that the switch D-fig. 6
of the compressor is in position 0 (off),
start the engine, insert plug A-fig. 7
into the cigar lighter (or 12V socket)
and operate the compressor by taking
the switch D to position I (on). In-
flate the tyre to the pressure specified
in the "Inflation pressure" paragraph,
"Technical Specifications" chapter.
For a more accurate reading, check
pressure gauge F-fig. 13 with the
compressor off;
❒ if after 5 minutes it is still impossible
to reach at least 1.5 bar, disengage
compressor from valve and current
outlet, then move the car forth for ap-
prox. ten metres in order to distribu-
te the sealing fluid inside the tyre
evenly, then repeat the inflation ope-
ration;

❒ If after this operation it is still impos-
sible after 5 minutes to reach at least
1.8 bar, do not start driving since the
tyre is excessively damaged and the
quick tyre repair kit cannot guarantee
suitable sealing, contact Fiat Dealer-
ship;
❒ if reaching the tyre pressure specified
in paragraph "Inflation pressure" in
section "Technical Specifications",
start driving immediately;
WARNING
Apply the adhesive label in a
position clearly visible 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. Do not ac-
celerate or brake suddenly.

❒ after driving for about 10 minutes stop
and check again the tyre pressure; pull
up the handbrake;
❒ if at least 1.8 bar pressure is read, re-
store proper pressure (with engine

start;
❒ drive with the utmost care to the nea-
rest Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Stop if the pressure has
dropped to less than 1.8 bar:
The automatic Fix & Go fast repair
kit cannot work properly if the tyre is
excessively damaged. Go to a Fiat
Dealership.
