gears correctly. It is therefore essential that
there is nothing under the pedals: make
sure the mats are lying flat and do not get

the gear lever as the force exerted, even
if slight, could lead over time to premature
wear of the gearbox internal components.
The clutch pedal should be used only
for gear changes. Do not drive with your
foot resting on the clutch pedal, however
lightly. For versions/markets where
provided, the electronic clutch control
could cut in, interpreting the incorrect
driving style as a fault.

if after this operation it is still
impossible after 10 minutes to reach at
least 3 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 the tyre reaches the pressure
specified in “Inflation pressure”
paragraph in the "Technical Data"
section, start driving immediately;
after having driven for about 10
minutes, stop and recheck the tyre
pressure; remember to apply the
handbrake;
if a pressure value of at least 3 bar is
detected, restore the correct pressure
prescribed in the paragraph “Inflation
pressure” in “Technical specification”
(with the engine running and the
handbrake engaged), resume driving

WARNING
157)Give the booklet to the personnel who
will be handling the tyre treated with the
repair kit.
158)Holes and damage on the tyre side
walls cannot be repaired. Do not use
the quick tyre repair kit if the damage is
due to running with flat tyre.
159)Repairs are not possible in the case of
damage to the wheel rim (bad groove
distortion causing air loss). Do not remove
the foreign body (screws or nails) from
the tyre.
160)Never operate the compressor for
longer than 20 consecutive minutes. Risk
of overheating. Tyres repaired with the
quick tyre repair kit must only be used
temporarily, as the kit is not suitable for a
definitive repair.161)The bottle contains ethylene glycol. It
contains latex that might cause allergic
reactions. It is harmful if swallowed. Eye
irritant. It may cause sensitisation if inhaled
or on contact. Avoid contact with eyes,
skin and clothes. In the event of contact,
wash immediately with plenty of water.
In the event that it is swallowed, do not
induce vomiting. Rinse out your mouth,
drink large quantities of water and seek
immediate medical attention. Keep out of
the reach of children. The product must
not be used by asthmatics. Do not inhale
the vapours during insertion and suction.
Call a doctor immediately if allergic

on bends. Do not exceed 80 km/h. Avoid
sudden acceleration or braking.
