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.
