the tyre repair kit.
WARNING
In the case of a puncture, caused by
a foreign body, tyres that have suffered
damage up to a maximum diameter of
4 mm on the tread or the shoulder can be
repaired.
The kit cannot be used to repair damage
to the tyre sidewall. Do not use the quick
repair kit if the tyre is damaged as the vehicle has
run on a flat tyre.
WARNING
If the wheel rim is damaged (bad groove
distortion causing air leakage) it cannot
be repaired. Do not remove the foreign body
(screw or nail) from the tyre.
WARNING
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
The sealing fluid of the quick tyre repair kit is
effective at external temperatures of between −20 °C
and +50 °C.
The sealing fluid will expire.
Do not operate the compressor for
longer than 20 consecutive minutes. Risk
of overheating. The quick repair kit is not
suitable for definitive repairs. Tyres may only be

For a more accurate reading, it is advisable to check
the pressure reading on the pressure gauge F-fig. 173
with the compressor off and without moving the
centre selector from the repair position;
❒if a pressure of at least 3 bar is not reached within
10 minutes, detach the transparent filler pipe from
the valve and switch off the 12 V current pin, then
move the vehicle about 10 metres forward to
distribute the sealant liquid inside the tyre and repeat
the inflation operation;
❒if after this operation it is still not possible to reach
at least 3 bar after 10 minutes, do not start driving
since the tyre is excessively damaged and the fast
tyre repair kit cannot guarantee adequate hold.
Contact a Fiat Dealership;
❒if the tyre reaches the pressure specified in the
“Inflation pressure” paragraph in the „Technical
Specifications“ chapter, start driving immediately;
Apply the adhesive label in a position
clearly visible 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 and
brake suddenly.
WARNING
❒After driving for about 10 minutes stop and check
the tyre pressure again; pull up the handbrake.
If the pressure falls below 3 bars, do not
drive any further: the quick tyre repair kit
Fix & Go automatic cannot guarantee adequate
hold because the tyre is too damaged. Contact
a Fiat Dealership.

CHANGING A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒When a light is not working, check that the
corresponding fuse is intact before changing a bulb.
For the location of fuses, refer to the paragraph
“If a fuse blows” in this section;
❒before changing a bulb check the contacts for
oxidation;
❒burnt bulbs must be replaced by others of the same
type and power;
❒always check the height of the headlight beam after
changing a bulb for safety reasons. CYLINDER REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
To replace the bottle, proceed as follows:
❒press button A-fig. 177 to release the replacement
part;
❒fit the new cylinder and press until it is automatically
engaged.
Halogen bulbs must be handled holding
the metallic part only. Touching the
transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the light
emitted and even compromise the life of the bulb
itself. In the event of accidental contact, rub the
bulb with a cloth dampened with alcohol and let
it dry.

Changes or repairs to the electrical
system (electric control units) carried
out incorrectly and without due consideration
for the technical specifications of the system
can lead to malfunctioning and generate a fire
hazard.
WARNING
Halogen lamps contain gas under
pressure. Their breaking can cause
scattering of glass fragments.
WARNING
C Tubular bulbs: release them from their contacts to
remove.
D-E Halogen bulbs: to remove the bulb, release the clip
holding the bulb in place.
IMPORTANT The headlight inner surface might be
slightly misted: this should not be considered irregular
rather a natural phenomenon due to low temperature
and the air humidity level. Misting will disappear as soon
as the headlights are turned on. The presence of drops
inside the headlights indicates infiltration of water.
Contact a Fiat Dealership.
BULB TYPES fig. 178
Various types of bulbs are fitted to your vehicle.
A Glass bulbs: clipped into position. Pull to extract.
B Bayonet type bulbs: to remove this type of bulb from
its holder, press the bulb and turn it anticlockwise.
