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, do not resume driving
because the tyre is too damaged and the quick
tyre repair kit cannot guarantee suitable sealing.
Contact a Fiat Dealership;
❒ if the tyre pressure specified in paragraph “Inflation
pressure” in section “Technical Specifications” has
been reached, 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
accelerate or brake suddenly.
❒ after driving for about 10 minutes stop and check
the tyre pressure again; pull up the handbrake;
WARNING
If the pressure has fallen below 1.8 bar,
do not drive any further: the automatic
Fix&Go automatic quick tyre repair kit cannot
guarantee the correct hold because the tyre
is too damaged. Go to a Fiat Dealership.
❒ if at least 1.8 bar pressure is read, restore correct
pressure (with engine running and handbrake on)
and restart;
❒ drive with the utmost care to the nearest Fiat
Dealership.
WARNING
You must inform the dealership that the
tyre has been repaired using the quick
tyre repair kit. Give the instruction booklet to
the personnel charged with handling the
treated tyre.
FOR CHECKING AND RESTORING
PRESSURE ONLY
The compressor can be also used solely for restoring
pressure. Release the quick coupling and connect
directly to the tyre valve fig. 107; in this way, the
cylinder will not be connected to the compressor
and no sealing fluid will be injected.
