❒if after this operation it is still impossible after 5
minutes 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 you do reach the tyre pressure specified in the
“Cold tyre pressures” paragraph of the “Technical
specifications” section, continue your journey
immediately;
WARNING
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 exceed 80 km/h. Do not accelerate or
brake suddenly.
❒after having driven for about 10 minutes, stop and
recheck the tyre pressure; remember to apply the
handbrake;
WARNING
If the pressure has fallen below 1.8 bar,
do
not drive any further: the Fix&Go
automatic quick tyre repair kit cannot
guarantee proper hold because the tyre is too
damaged. Contact a Fiat Dealership.❒if, on the other hand, the pressure is at least 1.8
bar, restore the correct pressure (with the engine
running and the handbrake applied) and resume
driving;
❒drive with the utmost care to the nearest Fiat
Dealership.

Remember to inform the workshop that
t
he tyre has been treated with a quick

CHANGING A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒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 reasons of safety;
❒when a light is not working, check that the
corresponding fuse is intact before changing the
bulb. For the location of fuses, refer to the
“Changing a fuse” paragraph in this section;
WARNING
Modifications or repairs to the electrical
sys
tem that are not carried out
properly or do not take the system's technical
specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pressurised gas
w
hich may cause small fragments of
glass to be projected outwards if the bulb is
broken.
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 emitted
light and even reduce the lifespan of the bulb.
If you do touch it accidentally, rub the bulb with
an alcohol-soaked cloth and leave to dry.
If possible, we recommend have bulbs
replaced by a Fiat Dealership. Proper
operation and orientation of the external
lights are essential for the safety of the running
vehicle, and to avoid incurring legal sanctions.
IMPORTANT The internal surface of the light may
appear slightly misty: this does not indicate a fault,
and is actually caused by low temperature and the
degree of humidity in the air. Misting will rapidly
disappear when the headlights are switched on. The
presence of drops inside the headlights indicates
infiltration of water. Go to a Fiat Dealership.
