tyre pressure FIAT BRAVO 2012 2.G User Guide

WARNING
Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning lights, warning
triangle, etc . Any passengers on board should
leave the car, especially if it is heavily laden.
Passengers should stay away from on-coming
traffic while the wheel is being changed. On
hills or uneven roads, use chocks or
appropriate objects to block the wheels of the
car.
WARNING
The car's driving characteristics will be
modified with the space-saver wheel
fitted. Avoid sudden starting or stopping, sharp
or fast turns.The total life of a space-saver
wheel is approximately 3000 km, after which it
must be replaced by another wheel of the
same type. Never install a traditional tyre on a
rim designed to be used as a space-saver
wheel. Have the tyre repaired and refitted as
soon as possible. Using two or more space-
saver wheels at the same time is forbidden. Do
not grease the threads of bolts before fitting
them: they might slip out .
WARNING
The jack provided is only intended to
be used for replacing wheels on the car
with which it is supplied, or on same-model
vehicles. Never use the jack for other
purposes, such as lifting other car models.
Never use it for repair operations under the
car. Incorrectly positioning the jack may cause
the car to fall. Do not use the jack for loads
higher than the one shown on its label. Never
install snow chains on the space-saver wheel; if
a front tyre (driving wheel) is punctured and
you need to use snow chains, use a standard
wheel from the rear axle and install the
space-saver wheel on the rear axle. In this
way, with two normal drive wheels, it is
possible to use snow chains.
WARNING
Fit the hub cap correctly to prevent it
from coming free in motion. Never
tamper with the inflating valve. Never
introduce tools of any kind between rim and
tyre. Check tyre and space-saver wheel
pressures regularly, referring to the values
shown in the "Technical data" chapter.

and then to be handed to the personnel charged
with handling the tyre treated with the tyre
repair kit;
❒a compressor D including a pressure gauge and
connections, found in the compartment;
❒a pair of protective gloves located in the side
compartment of the compressor;

Check tyre pressure on pressure gauge F fig. 154
with compressor off to obtain a more precise
reading;❒if after 5 minutes it is still impossible to reach at
least 1.5 bar, disengage the compressor from the
valve and power socket, then move the car
forwards by approx. 10 metres in order to
distribute the sealing fluid inside the tyre evenly,
then repeat the inflation operation;
❒if after this operation it is still impossible after 5
minutes to reach at least 1.8 bar, do not start
driving since the tyre is excessively damaged and
the quick tyre repair kit cannot guarantee proper
hold, contact a Fiat Dealership;
❒if reaching the tyre pressure specified in
paragraph “Inflation pressure” in chapter
“Technical Data”, start driving immediately;
❒after having driven for about 10 minutes, stop
and recheck the tyre pressure; remember to
apply the handbrake;
❒if, on the other hand, the pressure is at least 1.8
bar, restore the correct pressure (with the
engine running and the handbrake applied) and
resume driving;
❒drive with the utmost care to the nearest Fiat
Dealership.fig. 153

WARNING
Apply the adhesive label where it can
be easily seen by the driver as a
reminder that the tyre has been treated with
the quick repair kit . Drive carefully,
particularly on bends. Do not exceed 80 km/h.
Do not accelerate or brake suddenly.
WARNING
If the pressure has fallen below 1.8
bars, 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 Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
You must inform the dealership that
the tyre has been repaired using the
quick tyre repair kit . Give the instruction
booklet to the personnel charged with
handling the treated tyre.FOR CHECKING AND RESTORING
PRESSURE ONLY
The compressor may also be used for restoring
pressure only. Release the quick coupling and
connect directly to the tyre valve fig. 155; in this
way, the cylinder will not be connected to the
compressor and no sealing fluid will be injected.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICINGCorrect servicing is essential in guaranteeing a long
life for the car under the best conditions.
Fiat has therefore arranged a series of checks and
service operations to be carried out every 30,000
kilometres (for petrol versions) or every 35,000
kilometres (for 1.6 MultiJet and 2.0 MultiJet
versions).
It is, however, important to remember that
scheduled servicing does not completely cover all
the car's requirements: even in the initial period
before 30,000/35,000 km (the latter for 1.6 MultiJet
and 2.0 MultiJet versions), and then subsequently
between one service and another, ordinary care
is still required such as routine checks involving
topping up fluid levels, checking tyre pressures, etc.IMPORTANT The Scheduled Servicing Plan
coupons are set out by the Manufacturer. Failure to
have them carried out may invalidate the warranty.
Scheduled Servicing is performed by all Fiat
Dealerships, at pre-established times.
If, during any service, the need arises for additional
replacements or repairs, these may be carried
out only with the explicit agreement of the
Customer.
IMPORTANT It is advisable to inform a Fiat
Dealership of any small operating irregularities
without waiting for the next service.
If the car is used frequently for towing a trailer, the
interval between services should be reduced.
