if the pressure is greater than 1.3 bar
but less than prescribed, you need to
adjust it (see the label attached to the
driver's door pillar), otherwise see a Fiat
Dealership: you cannot repair it.
WARNING
172)There should be no objects at the
driver's feet: in case of sharp braking, they
could slide under the pedals, preventing
their correct use.
IMPORTANT
32)The kit can repair tyres whose treads A
fig. 257 are damaged by foreign objects
smaller than 4 millimetres. It cannot repair
all types of puncture, such as cuts larger
than 4 millimetres and those on side B
fig. 257 of the tyre. Also make sure the rims
are in good condition. Do not remove the
foreign object that caused the puncture if it
is implanted in the tyre.33)Do not use the inflation kit if the tyre is
damaged by driving with a puncture. Check
the tyre sides carefully before any
intervention. Travelling with partially or
completely deflated tyres (or punctured)
can cause safety problems and damage
the concerned tyre beyond repair. This
reparation is temporary. A tyre that has
been punctured must be examined (and
repaired if possible) by a specialist as soon
as possible. When replacing a tyre repaired
by the kit, always notify the tyre repairer.
When driving, you can feel vibrations
caused by the product being in the tyre.
34)The kit is approved only for inflating
tyres of vehicles that were originally
equipped with it. It should never be used to
inflate another vehicle's tyres or any other
object (life vests, inflatable mattresses,
etc.). Avoid splashing on skin when using
the repair canister. If the product comes in
contact with skin, rinse thoroughly. Keep
the kit out of the reach of children. Do not
leave empty canister in the environment.
Deliver it to a Fiat Dealership or to a
consortium specialised in its disposal. The
canister has an expiration date indicated on
the label. Check the expiration date. Go to
a Fiat Dealership to replace the inflation
hose and repair canister.
35)Before using the kit, park the vehicle so
it is sufficiently far from traffic, turn on the
emergency lights, pull up the handbrake
and get all the occupants out of the vehicle,
moving them far away from the traffic.
36)In case you are stopped by the
carriageway, warn other road users that
your vehicle is there by placing the warning
triangle or other device allowed by law in
the country you are driving in.37)Caution, a missing or badly screwed on
valve cap could impact the tyre's grip and
cause a loss of pressure. The valve caps
must all be identical to the original ones
and screwed tightly.
38)After repair using the kit, do not drive
farther than 200 km. In addition, lower your
speed, and in any case do not exceed
80 km/h. The label is to be attached in a
visible part of the dashboard. Depending
on the market country or local laws, a tyre
repaired with the inflation kit must be
replaced.

IMPORTANT For any interior service
advice or in case of unsatisfactory
results, see a Fiat Dealership.
Dismounting/remounting
removable equipment original to
the vehicle
If you need to remove original
equipment from the passenger
compartment (for example, mats) in
order to clean it, be sure to replace
them carefully on the correct side (the
driver's mat goes on the driver's side)
and fasten them using the components
supplied with them (for example, the
driver's mat must be held in place with
the standard fastening elements).
In any case, when the vehicle is
stopped, make sure nothing can
interfere with driving (impedes use of
the pedals: a heel that catches on the
mat, etc.).
What not to do
Placing objects where the diffusers are,
such as deodorants, air fresheners,
etc., that could damage the dashboard
trim.
WARNING
212)Never use flammable products, such
as petrol ether or rectified petrol to clean
the inside of the vehicle. The electrostatic
charges which are generated by rubbing
during the cleaning operation may cause a
fire.213)Do not keep aerosol cans in the
vehicle: they might explode. Aerosol cans
must not be exposed to a temperature
exceeding 50°C. When the vehicle is
exposed to sunlight, the internal
temperature can greatly exceed this value.
214)There must be no obstacles on the
floor underneath the pedals; make sure
that mats are always flat and do not
interfere with the pedals.
IMPORTANT
62)We advise you not to use a high
powered or spray cleaner inside the
passenger compartment: without the
necessary precautions, you could damage
the electrical or electronic components in
the vehicle.
63)Never use alcohol, petrols and
derivatives to clean the dashboard and
instrument panel lens.
