PRECAUTIONS IN CASE  
OF ACCIDENT  
Ignoring system fault signals (red LED  
on the ceiling light and dedicated  
messages on the instrument panel)  
may mean that you cannot make an EU  
eCall, if necessary.  
IMPORTANT  
To minimise the risk of serious injury,  
observe the following precautions:  
park safely on the side of the road,  
apply the electric parking brake, put  
the one-speed transmission in P and  
switch off the electric motor;  
contact rescue immediately, warning  
that it is a electric car equipped with a  
high-voltage system;  
218) Do not touch high-voltage  
components (identified by the colour  
orange) or any components that have  
come into contact with exposed  
high-voltage cables. NEVER touch  
exposed electric cables: danger of  
ELECTROCUTION.  
Even if the EU eCall system is fully  
functional, factors outside the control of  
the Manufacturer could interfere with  
or prevent operation of the EU eCall.  
These factors can be identified in:  
clogged or unavailable satellite signals,  
network connection, adverse weather

GENERAL  
INSTRUCTIONS  
Before replacing a bulb check the  
contacts for oxidation;  
burnt bulbs must be replaced by  
others of the same type and power;  
always check the headlight beam  
direction after changing a bulb for  
safety reasons;  
when a light is not working, check  
that the corresponding fuse is intact  
before replacing a bulb. For the  
location of fuses, refer to the "Fuses  
replacement" chapter in this section.  
WARNING When the weather is cold or  
damp or after heavy rain or washing,  
the surface of headlights or rear lights  
may steam up and/or form drops of  
condensation on the inside. This  
is a natural phenomenon due to the  
difference in temperature and humidity  
between the inside and the outside  
of the glass which does not indicate  
a fault and does not compromise the  
normal operation of lighting devices.  
The mist disappears quickly when  
the lights are turned on, starting from  
the centre of the air vent, extending  
progressively towards the edges.

After driving approximately 8 km / 5  
miles, place the vehicle in a safe and  
easy area, stop the engine, switch on  
the hazard lights, apply the electric  
parking brake; engage 1st gear if uphill  
or reverse gear if downhill with wheels  
all steered. In the event of a steep  
slope, place a wedge or stone behind  
the wheels.  
If the tyre pressure is higher than  
expected, after switching off the  
compressor, it can be lowered by  
means of the button, fig. 249, located  
next to the black tube connection.  
If the pressure is still lower than 2 bar  
/ 29 psi 10 minutes after turning on,  
do not resume driving, but contact a  
Dealership.  
IMPORTANT  
Take the compressor and restore the  
pressure using the black inflation tube.  
If the pressure shown is higher than 2  
bar / 29 psi, restore the pressure and  
carefully drive to a Dealership in the  
shortest possible time. Otherwise, if  
the pressure is less than 2 bar / 29 psi,  
do not resume driving, but contact a  
Dealership.  
224) IMPORTANT: Do not exceed  
80 km/h. Avoid sudden acceleration or  
braking. The kit provides a temporary  
repair, therefore the tyre must be  
examined and repaired by a specialist  
as soon as possible. Before using the  
kit, ensure that the tyre isn't excessively  
damaged and that the rim is in good  
condition, otherwise do not use it and  
call roadside assistance. Do not remove  
foreign bodies from the tyre.  
225) Punctures on the sides of the tyre  
may not be repaired. Do not use the  
Fix&Go if the tyre was damaged as a result  
of being used with the wheel underinflated.  
228  
roads, use chocks or appropriate objects  
to block the wheels of the vehicle.  
232) Never operate the compressor for  
longer than 20 consecutive minutes: risk of  
overheating.  
233) If the pressure falls below 1.8 bar, do  
not drive any further: the Fix&Go cannot  
guarantee proper seal because the tyre is  
too damaged. Contact a Dealership.  
234) Carefully read the cartridge label  
before use and avoid improper use. The kit  
should be used by adults and cannot be  
used by children.  
235) Do not let the compressor turned on  
for longer than 10 consecutive minutes -  
overheating hazard  
236) Use the kit only in case of a  
punctured tyre.  
237) If the valve is positioned at 12  
o'clock, turn the tyre forwards or  
backwards by a quarter of a turn.  
226) Wear the protective gloves provided  
with the Fix&Go.  
WARNING  
227) Apply the adhesive label where it can  
be easily seen by the driver as a reminder  
that the tyre has been treated with the  
Fix&Go. Drive carefully, particularly on  
bends.  
228) 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.  
229) As required by current regulations,  
the information on chemical substances  
for the protection of human health and the  
environment and on the safe use of the  
sealing fluid are on the packaging label.  
Compliance with the indications on the  
label is an essential condition to ensure  
the safety and the effectiveness of the  
product. Remember to carefully read the  
label before use; the user of the product  
is responsible for any damages caused  
by improper use. The sealing fluid has an  
expiration date. Replace the bottle if the  
sealant has expired.  
230) The Fix&Go kit is not suitable for  
definitive repairs, so the repaired tyres may  
only be used temporarily. The Fix&Go kit  
provides a temporary repair, therefore the  
tyre must be examined and repaired by a  
specialist as soon as possible.  
6) Dispose of the bottle and the sealant  
liquid properly. Have them disposed of  
in compliance with national and local  
regulations.  
JUMP STARTING  
Emergency starting with an auxiliary  
battery or fast-charging device is

If it is possible to recharge the  
high-voltage battery, do so before  
proceeding with the emergency start  
on the 12V auxiliary battery. If charging  
the high-voltage battery is impossible, it  
is necessary:  
85) The sealant fluid is effective with  
external temperatures from -40°C to  
+50°C. The sealant fluid has an expiry date  
and must be replaced periodically. It is  
possible to repair tyres with damage on  
the tread up to a maximum diameter of  
6 mm. Show the cartridge and the label  
to the personnel who will handle the tyre  
treated with the Fix&Go.  
Contact a Fiat Dealership;  
transport the car with a tow truck  
to a public or private charging point  
and charge the high-voltage battery  
(for transport see the "Towing the car"  
chapter in this section).  
231) Alert 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 on-coming traffic while the  
wheel is being changed. On hills or uneven
