4.2 Inflation Procedure
CAUTION: Wear the protective gloves
provided together with the quick tyre repair kit.
CAUTION: Affix the adhesive label in an easy-
to-see position for the driver as a reminder
that the tyre has been treated with the quick
tyre repair kit. Drive carefully, particularly
on bends. Do not exceed 80 km/h. Do not
accelerate or brake suddenly.
CAUTION: If the pressure falls below 3
bars, do not drive any further: the Fix &
Go automatic quick tyre repair kit cannot
guarantee proper hold because the tyre is too
much damaged. Contact a Fiat Dealership.
CAUTION: You must inform the dealership that
the tyre has been repaired using the quick tyre
repair kit. Give the booklet to the personnel
who will be handling the tyre treated with the
repair kit.
CAUTION: If different tyres from the ones
supplied with the vehicle are used, it may
not be possible to carry out the repair. If the
tyres are replaced, it is advisable to use those
approved by the manufacturer. Consult a Fiat
Dealership.
• Pull the handbrake. Unscrew the tyre valve
cap, take out the filler hose A (Fig. C) and
tighten the ring nut B on the tyre valve;
• Insert the plug E (Fig. E) in the nearest 12V
power socket and start the engine. Turn the
selector D (Fig. D) anti-clockwise to the repair
position. Activate the kit by pressing the on/
off switch. Inflate the tyre to the pressure
specified in the “Inflation pressure” paragraph,
in the “Technical Data” chapter;
For a more accurate reading, it is advisable to
check the pressure reading on the pressure
gauge F (Fig. D) with the compressor off and
without moving the centre selector from the
repair position

• If after 10 minutes it is still impossible to reach
at least 3 bar, release the transparent filler
pipe from the valve and take out the 12 V plug,
then move the vehicle forwards by about 10
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 3 bar after 10 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 reaches the pressure specified
in “Inflation pressure” paragraph in the
“Technical Data” section of the Fiat user
manual start driving immediately;
