CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT
Only use Fix&Go original cartridges
which can be purchased at an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
To remove the cartridge, disengage the
coupling of the black inflation tube,
rotate the cartridge anticlockwise and
then lift it. Insert the new cartridge,
rotate it clockwise to its end of travel,
insert the coupling of the black inflation
tube blocking it with the lever and then
rewind the transparent tube into its
compartment on the compressor.
IMPORTANT
32)Show the package and the label to the
personnel charged with handling the tyre
treated with the tyre repair kit.33)Fix&Go provides a temporary repair,
therefore the tyre must be examined and
repaired by a specialist as soon as possible.
The sealing fluid is effective at temperatures
between -40°C and +50°C. It is possible to
repair tyres which have been damaged on
tread up to a diameter of 4mm; however,
tyres damaged on their side cannot be
repaired. Before using Fix&Go kit, ensure
that the tyre isn't excessively damaged and
that the rim is in good condition, otherwise
do not use it and contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership. Do not remove foreign bodies
from the tyre. Do not let the compressor
turned on for more than 20 consecutive
minutes - overheating hazard.
WARNING
123)The information required by the
applicable regulation is indicated on the
Fix&Go kit package label. Compliance with
the indications on the label is an essential
condition to ensure the safety and the
effectiveness of the Fix&Go kit. Carefully
read the label before use, avoid improper
use. Fix&Go is subject to expiration and
must be replaced periodically. The kit should
be used by adults and cannot be used by
children.

JUMP STARTING(versions with Start&Stop system)
125)
When jump starting, never connect the
negative lead (–) of the auxiliary battery
to the negative pole 1 fig. 111 of the car
battery, but rather to an engine/gearbox
earth point.
BUMP STARTING
Never, under any circumstances, jump
start the engine by pushing, towing or
coasting downhill.
IMPORTANT
34)Never connect the negative terminals of
the two batteries directly! If the auxiliary
battery is installed on another car, prevent
accidental contact between metallic parts of
the two cars.35)Never use a fast battery-charger to
start the engine as this could damage the
electronic systems of your vehicle,
particularly the ignition and engine fuel
supply control units.
WARNING
124)This starting procedure must be
performed by expert personnel because
incorrect actions could cause electrical
discharge of considerable intensity.
Furthermore, battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive: avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Keep naked flames and lighted cigarettes
away from the battery and do not cause
sparks.
125)Before opening the bonnet, make sure
that the engine is off and that the ignition
key is in the STOP position. Please follow the
instructions on the decal near the front
crossmember. We recommend that you
remove the key from the ignition if other
people remain in the vehicle. The vehicle
should always be left after the key has been
removed or turned to the STOP position.
During refuelling, make sure that the engine
is off (and that the ignition key is in the STOP
position).
