Inform the dealership that the tyre has
been repaired using the quick tyre repair
kit. Hand the instruction brochure over to the
personnel charged with treating the tyre
repaired with the kit.
WARNING
FOR CHECKING AND RESTORING
PRESSURE ONLY
The compressor can also be used solely for restoring
pressure. Release the quick coupling and connect it
directly to the tyre valve fig. 133; in this way, the
cylinder will not be connected to the compressor and
no sealant will be injected.
F0U134Abfig. 133
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. Contact an Abarth Dealership.
WARNING
❒if at least 1.8 bar pressure is read, restore the correct
pressure (with engine running and handbrake on) and
restart;
❒drive with the utmost care to the nearest Abarth
Dealership.

Halogen bulbs must be handled by holding
the metallic part only. Touching the
transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the light
emitted and even compromise the life of the bulb
itself. In the event of accidental contact, wipe the
bulb with an alcohol-soaked cloth and leave to dry.

IMPORTANT The internal surface of the light may
appear slightly misty: this does not indicate a fault, and is
actually caused by low temperature and the degree of
humidity in the air. Misting will rapidly disappear when
the headlights are switched on. The presence of drops
inside the headlights indicates infiltration of water.
Contact an Abarth Dealership.
TYPES OF BULBS
Different types of bulbs fig. 135 are installed on the car:
A Glass bulbs: clipped into position. Pull to remove.
B Bayonet type bulbs: to remove this type of bulb from its holder, press the bulb and turn it anticlockwise. C Tubular bulbs: release them from their contacts to
remove.
D-E Halogen bulbs: to remove the bulb, release the clip holding the bulb in place.
