regulations: hazard warning lights,
warning triangle, etc. Those on board
should get out of the vehicle and wait for
the wheel to be repaired away from the
threat posed by the traffic. If parked on a
slope or rough surface, chock the wheels
with wedges or other suitable devices
(for the correct procedure for parking the
car safely, refer to the “Parking”
paragraph in the “Starting and driving”
chapter).
103)A repair is not possible if the wheel
rim is damaged (groove is deformed,
causing air to escape). Do not remove
foreign bodies (screws or nails) from the
tyre.
104)Give the booklet to the technicians
who will be handling the tyre that was
treated using the “Fix&Go Automatic” kit.
105)Do not operate the compressor for
longer than 20 consecutive minutes.
Risk of overheating. The kit is not suitable
for definitive repairs, so the repaired
tyres may only be used temporarily.

1 fig. 110 in the suitable housing inside the
car and rotate them by ¼ turn clockwise
to lock them. Check the correct insertion of
the pins into their seats and make sure the
grab ring is in horizontal position.
The fixing is carried out correctly and the
soft top is ensured only when the ring is
located in a horizontal position
(not vertical, or at 45°).
IMPORTANT NOTES
❒ It is advisable to install the soft top
after parking the car.
The closed top effectively protects the
car from rain and from theft.
