brake light FIAT IDEA 2007 1.G Owner's Manual

CAR INACTIVITY
If the car is to be left inactive for longer than a month,
the following precautions should be noted:
❒park the car in covered, dry and if possible well-
ventilated premises;
❒engage a gear;
❒check that the handbrake is not engaged;
❒disconnect battery terminals (first disconnect the
negative terminal) and check the battery charge.
This check is to be repeated every three months
when the car is left inactive. Recharge if the optical
indicator shows a dark colour without the central
green area;
❒clean and protect the painted parts using protective
wax;
❒clean and protect the shiny metal parts using
special compounds readily available;❒sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber windscreen
and rear window wiper blades and lift them off the
glass;
❒slightly open the windows;
❒cover the car with a cloth or perforated plastic
sheet. Do not use sheets of non-perforated plastic
as they do not allow moisture on the car body to
evaporate;
❒inflate tyres to +0.5 bar above the normal specified
pressure and check it at intervals;
❒if you don’t disconnect the battery from the
electric system, check its charge every month and
recharge it if the optical indicator shows a dark
colour without the central green area;
❒do not drain the engine cooling system.

BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine (bu pushing, towing, or
coasting downhill) as this could cause fuel to flow into
the catalytic exhaust system and damage it beyond
repair.IMPORTANT Remember that until the engine has
started the brake booster and electrical power
steering systems will not work and a greater effort will
therefore be required to press the brake pedal or turn
the steering wheel.
WARNINGAlert 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
oncoming traffic while the wheel is being changed on. If the wheel is being changed
on a steep or badly surfaced road, place the wedges or other suitable material
under the wheel to stop the car.

INFLATING PROCEDURE
❒Pull up the handbrake. Loosen tyre inflation valve cap, take out the
filler hose Aand screw the ring nut Bon the tyre valve;

Replace the cylinder if sealer has run out. Do not throw away the cylinder and the sealing fluid.
Have the sealing fluid and the cylinder disposed of in compliance with national and local
regulations.
Put on the protection gloves provided together with quick tyre repair kit.WARNING
WARNINGThe cylinder contains ethylene glycol. The cylinder contains latex: it can cause
allergic reactions. It is harmful if ingested or inhaled and irritant for the eyes and in
case of contact. In case of contact rinse immediately with water and take off
contaminated clothes. If swallowed, do not induce vomit, rinse out the mouth,
drink a lot of water and call the doctor immediately. Keep away from children.
This product must not be used by asthmatics. Do not inhale vapours. Call the
doctor immediately in case of allergic reactions. Keep the cylinder in the space
provided for the purpose and far from heat. The sealing fluid has limited life.

It is of vital importance to communicate that the tyre has been repaired using the
quick tyre repair kit. Hand the instruction brochure to the personnel charged with
treating the tyre repaired with the kit.WARNING
❒if reaching the tyre pressure specified in paragraph “Inflation pressure”
in section “Technical Specifications”, start driving immediately;
❒after driving for about 10 minutes stop and check again the tyre pres-
sure; pull up the handbrake;
❒if at least 1.8 bar pressure is read, restore proper pressure (with engine
running and handbrake on) and restart;
❒drive with the utmost care to the nearest Fiat Dealership.
FOR CHECKING AND RESTORING PRESSURE ONLY
The compressor can be also used just for restoring pressure. Disconnect
the quick connection and connect it directly to the tyre valve; in this way the
cylinder is not connected to compressor and the sealing fluid will not flow
into the tyre.
CYLINDER REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
To replace the cylinder proceed as follows:
❒disconnect connection A;
❒turn counter-clockwise the cylinder to replace and raise it;
❒fit the new cylinder and turn it clockwise;
❒connect connection Ato the cylinder and fit the transparent tube Bin-
to the proper space.
