❒ if in this case a pressure of at least 1.8 bar is not reached
within five minutes of switching on the compressor, do
not continue driving because the tyre is too damaged
and the hold cannot be guaranteed. Contact
a Fiat Dealership
❒ if you do reach the tyre pressure specified in the “Cold
tyre pressures” paragraph of the “Technical specifica-
tions” section, continue your journey immediately;
❒
make sure that switch E-fig. 145 of the compressor is
in position 0 (off), start the engine, insert plug D-fig.
144 into the socket and activate the compressor by
turning switch E-fig. 145 to position I (on). Inflate the
tyre to the pressure specified in the “Cold tyre pres-
sures” paragraph in the “Technical specifications” sec-
tion. For a more accurate reading, check pressure
gauge F-fig. 145 with the compressor off;
❒ if a pressure value of a least 1.5 bar is not reached with-
in five minutes, disconnect the compressor from the
valve and socket, move the vehicle forwards by about
10 metres to distribute the sealant fluid within the tyre
and repeat the inflation procedure;

❒ If you get a pressure reading of at least 1.8 bar, restore
the proper pressure (with engine running and handbrake
on) and continue your journey.
❒ drive with the utmost care to the nearest Fiat Dealer-
ship.
❒
after driving for about 10 minutes, stop and check the
tyre pressure again; remember to put the handbrake
on;
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 ex-
ceed 80 km/h. Do not accelerate or brake sud-
denly.
WARNING
If the pressure has fallen below 1.8 bar, do
not drive any further: the automatic
Fix&Go quick tyre repair kit cannot guarantee
proper hold because the tyre is too damaged.
Contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Remember to inform the workshop that
the tyre has been treated with a quick re-
pair kit. Give the instruction booklet to the per-
sonnel charged with handling the treated tyre.

CHANGING A FUSE
GENERAL INFORMATION
The fuse is a protective device for the electric system: it
operates if there is a fault or improper intervention in the
system.
Check the state of the corresponding fuse when a device
does not work: the filament A-fig. 173 should be intact.
If it is not, replace the blown fuse with a new one of the
same amperage (same colour).
B intact fuse.
Cfuse with damaged filament.
To change a fuse, use the tweezer D located in the tool
box or the Fix&Go container (for versions/markets where
provided).
If the same fuse blows again, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
Never replace a damaged fuse with metal
wires or other recycled material.
Do not replace one fuse with another of
greater amperage; FIRE HAZARD.
If a general protection fuse (MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-
FUSE) is activated, contact a Fiat Dealership.
Remove the key from the ignition and switch off
or disable all electrical devices before replacing
a fuse.
WARNING
To identify the protective fuse, see the tables on the fol-
lowing pages.
If a general protection fuse for safety sys-
tems (air bag system, braking system),
power unit systems (engine system, transmission
system) or steering system is triggered, contact a
Fiat Dealership.
