the information on chemical substances
for the protection of human health and
the environment and on the safe use of
the sealing fluid are on the packaging
label. Compliance with the indications on
the label is an essential condition to

of the product. Remember to carefully
read the label before use; the user of the
product is responsible for any damages
caused by improper use. The sealing fluid
has an expiry date. Replace the bottle if
the sealant has expired.

provided with the kit.

can be easily seen by the driver as a
reminder that the tyre has been treated
with the quick repair kit. Drive carefully,
especially on corners. Do not exceed
80 km/h. Avoid sudden acceleration or
braking.
109)If the pressure has fallen below 1.8
bar, do not drive any further: the Fix&Go
Automatic quick tyre repair kit cannot
guarantee proper hold because the tyre is
too damaged. Contact a dedicated Alfa
Romeo Dealership.

repaired using the quick tyre repair kit.
Give the leaflet to the personnel charged
with handling the tyre treated with the
tyre repair kit.

can be repaired if the damage does not
exceed 4 mm on the tread and on the
shoulder of the tyre. Do not use the repair
kit if the tyre was damaged as a result of
being used when underinflated.
