BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or
coasting downhill.
This could cause fuel to flow into the catalytic
converter and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the servobrake and
electrical power steering system are not operating
until the engine is started, a greater effort will
therefore be required to press the brake pedal or turn
the steering wheel.IF A TYRE IS PUNCTURED
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
For versions/markets where applicable, the car can be
fitted with a quick tyre repair kit called FIX & GO,
replacing the usual tool fitting, the spare wheel lifting
winch and the space-saver spare wheel.
Normal spare small wheel, or (where provided)
normal size spare wheel, can be supplied on request;
for its use, follow what indicated below.
VAN versions are fitted as standard with a spare
wheel with steel rim of the same type and size as the
standard wheels mounted on the car.
Wheel changing and correct use of the jack and space-
saver spare wheel call for some precautions as listed
below.
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. If parked on a slope or rough surface, chock the
wheels with wedges or other suitable devices to prevent the car from rolling.

WARNINGThe space-saver spare wheel (where provided) is specific to your car, do not use it
on other models, or use the spare wheel of other models on your vehicle. The
space-saver spare wheel shall only be used in an emergency. It shall only be used
for the distance necessary to reach a service point and the car speed shall not
exceed 80 km/h. The spare wheel has an orange sticker that summarises the main
cautions for use and limitations. The sticker should never be removed or covered.
Never fit a wheel cap on a space-saver spare wheel. The sticker gives the following
information in four languages: caution! For temporary use only! 80 km/h max!
Replace by normal wheel as soon as possible. Do not cover this label in use.
If changing standard wheels (e.g.: wheels with alloy rims in place of steel rims)
change also all wheel bolts.
WARNINGWhen driving with a space-saver spare wheel fitted, the driving performance of the
car changes. Avoid accelerating or braking sharply, abrupt turns or fast cornerings.
The life of the spare wheel is approx. 3000 km, after this distance it should be
replaced with another of the same type. Never attempt to fit a conventional tyre
on a rim designed for use as a space-saver spare wheel. Have the punctured wheel
repaired and refitted as soon as possible. Two or more space-saver spare wheels
should never be used together. Do not grease the threads of bolts before installing
them: they might slip out.

WARNINGThe jack shall only be used for changing wheels on the car with which it is provided
or on cars of the same model. It must not be used for other purposes such as for
instance raising cars of other models. In no case should it be used for repairs under
the car. Incorrect positioning of the jack may cause the jacked vehicle to fall. Do
not use the jack for higher capacities than stated on its label. Snow chains cannot
be fitted to the space-saver spare wheel. So, if a front (drive) wheel is punctured
and chains are needed, a rear wheel should be fitted to the front of the vehicle and
the spare wheel should be fitted to the rear. This way with two normal drive
wheels, snow chains can be fitted to them to solve an emergency.
ATTENZIONEFasten the wheel cap correctly to prevent the wheel from coming free in motion.
Never tamper with the inflation valve. Never place tools between the rim and tyre.
Check and restore, if required, the pressure of tyres and spare wheel to the values
given in the “Technical specifications” section.

When you have finished:
❒place the space-saver spare wheel in the housing under the body
checking it is properly locked in place.
IMPORTANT To fasten bolt (A) use only the wrench supplied; never use
pneumatic screwer since the hooking system could be damaged. The
wheel is completely fastened when the bolt, after about 21 audible clicks,
cannot be fastened further on.
❒Return tools to their container as shown on label (D) and place them
in their recess in the boot;
❒Before closing the cover (B) fasten them with belt (C).
IMPORTANT Do not use inner tubes with Tubeless tyres.
Periodically check the pressure of the tyres and spare wheel.

In the event of a puncture caused by foreign bodies, it is possible to repair tyres showing damages
on the track or shoulder up to max 4 mm diameter.
Repairs are not possible in case of damages on the wheel rim (bad groove
distortion causing air loss). Do not remove foreign bodies (screws or nails) from the
tyre.WARNING
WARNINGHoles and damages on the tyre side walls cannot be repaired. Do not use the quick
tyre repair kit if damaging is due to running with flat tyre.

IT SHOULD BE NOTICED THAT:
The sealing fluid of the quick tyre repair kit is effective with external temperatures between -20 °C and +50 °C.
The sealing fluid has limited life.
Replace the run out cylinder. Do not throw away the cylinder and the sealing fluid. Have the
sealing fluid and the cylinder disposed of according to national and local regulations in force.
The compressor shall not be operated for more than 20 minutes. Risk of
overheating. Tyres repaired with the quick tyre repair kit shall be used temporarily
only.WARNING
WARNINGThe cylinder contains ethylene glycol. It contains latex: it can cause allergic
reactions. These substances are 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

INFLATING PROCEDURE
WARNINGPut on the protection gloves provided
together with quick tyre repair kit.
❒Pull up the handbrake. Loosen tyre inflation valve cap, take the filler
hose (A) out and screw the ring nut (B) on the tyre valve;
❒make sure the compressor switch (D) is set at 0 (off), then start the
engine and fit plug (E) into the nearest outlet and turn on the
compressor by setting switch (D) to I (on). Inflate the tyre to the
pressure value specified in paragraph “Inflation pressure” in section
“Technical Specifications”. Check tyre pressure on gauge (F) with
compressor off to obtain precise reading;
❒if after 5 minutes it is still impossible to reach at least 1.5 bar,
disengage compressor from valve and outlet, then move the car forth
for approx. ten metres in order to distribute the sealing fluid inside the
tyre evenly, then repeat the inflation operation;

❒if also in this case, after 5 minutes from turning the
compressor on it is still impossible 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 suitable sealing, contact Fiat
Dealership;
❒if the proper tyre pressure has been reached (see
paragraph “Inflation pressure” in section “Technical
Specifications”, start driving immediately;❒after driving for about 10 minutes stop and check
again the tyre pressure; pull up the handbrake;
WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
Apply the sticker in a visible position
for the driver to indicate that the tyre
has been treated with the quick tyre
repair kit. Drive carefully especially
when cornering. Do not exceed 80
km/h. Avoid heavy braking and
accelerating.
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. If the pressure falls below 1.8 bars, do
not drive any further: the quick tyre
repair kit Fix & Go automatic cannot
guarantee proper hold
because the tyre
is too much damaged.
Contact Fiat
Dealership.
❒if pressure read is at least 1.8 bar, 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 REPLACEMENTPROCEDURE
To replace 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 (A) to the cylinder and fit the transparent tube (B)
into the proper space.
