exceed 80 km/h. "Warning! For temporary

use only! 80 km/h max!”. Replace with

standard wheel as soon as possible.

Never remove or cover the sticker on the

space-saver wheel. Never apply a wheel

cap on a space-saver wheel. The vehicle's

driving characteristics will be modified

with the space-saver wheel fitted. Avoid

violent acceleration and braking, abrupt

steering and fast cornering. The driving

characteristics of the car will be modified

with the space-saver spare wheel or spare

wheel fitted. Avoid violent acceleration

and braking, abrupt steering and fast

cornering. The overall duration of the

space-saver wheel is about 3000 km, after

which the relevant tyre must be replaced

with another one of the same type. Never

install a traditional tyre on a rim designed

to be used as a space-saver wheel. Have

the wheel repaired and refitted as soon as

possible. Using two or more space-saver

spare wheels or spare wheels at the same

time is forbidden. Do not apply grease to

the bolt threads before fitting: they could

come unscrewed.

58) Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as

possible to have the correct tightening of

the wheel bolts checked.

150) The jack is a tool developed and

designed only for changing a wheel, if a

tyre gets punctured or damaged, on

the car with which it is supplied or on

other cars of the same model. It must

not be used, for example, to jack other

vehicle models or objects. Never use it

to carry out servicing or repairs under

the vehicle or to change summer/winter

wheels and vice versa: we advise you

to contact a Fiat Dealership. Never go

under the raised vehicle: use it only in

the positions indicated. Do not use the

jack for loads higher than the one shown

on its label. Never start the engine with

vehicle raised. If the vehicle is raised more

than necessary, everything can become

more unstable, with the risk of the vehicle

dropping violently. Thus, lift the car only

as needed in order to access the spare

wheel.

151) Never tamper with the inflation valve.

Never introduce tools of any kind between

the rim and the tyre. Check tyre and

space-saver wheel pressures regularly,

complying with the values given in the

"Technical specifications" chapter.

152) Observe the following instructions if

the car is equipped with a spare wheel

smaller than the normal size (a 16” spare

wheel is provided with 17" and 18" tyres)

or a space-saver spare wheel. The space-

saver wheel (for versions/markets where

provided) is specific to your car, do not

use it on other models, or use the space-

saver wheel of other models on your car.

The space-saver wheel must only be used

in the event of an emergency. Never use it

for more than strictly necessary and never

with lubricating grease, clean yourself

thoroughly.

PROCEDURE FOR

RESTORING THE

PRESSURE

(OPT1 Kit)

After driving for approx. 8 km / 5 miles

fig. 205, park the car in a safe and

convenient area, turn off the engine,

Proceed as follows:

stop the car safely, as described

169

guarantee proper seal because the tyre is

too damaged. Contact a Fiat Dealership.

163) Carefully read the cartridge label

before use and avoid improper use. The kit

should be used by adults and cannot be

used by children.

164) Do not let the compressor turned on

for longer than 10 consecutive minutes -

overheating hazard

157) 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.

158) 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.

159) 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.

165) Use the kit only in case of a

punctured tyre.

206

F0S0788

WARNING

IMPORTANT

59) The sealant fluid is effective with

external temperatures from -30°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.

153) 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.

154) 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.

155) Wear the protective gloves provided

with the Fix&Go.

60) The surface of the tube may be hot.

160) 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

roads, use chocks or appropriate objects

to block the wheels of the vehicle.

161) Never operate the compressor for

longer than 20 consecutive minutes: risk of

overheating.

162) If the pressure falls below 1.8 bar, do

not drive any further: the Fix&Go cannot

WARNING

3) Dispose of the bottle and the sealant

liquid properly. Have them disposed of

in compliance with national and local

regulations.

156) 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.
