ESP Abarth 500 2019 Owner handbook (in English)

WARNING
136)Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: gas and inflammable
vapours may be present, with the risk of
fire.
137)Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine
is hot: you may get burned. Remember
that the fan may start up if the engine
is hot: this could injure you. Scarves, ties
and other loose clothing might be pulled by
moving parts.
138)The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only replace the plug with
another original or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do not
remove the reservoir plug when the engine
is hot: you risk scalding yourself.
139)Do not travel with the windscreen
washer fluid reservoir empty: the
windscreen washer is essential for
improving visibility. Some commercial
windscreen washer additives are
flammable. The engine compartment
contains hot components which may set it
on fire.
140)Brake fluid is poisonous and highly
corrosive. In the event of accidental
contact, immediately wash the affected
parts with water and mild soap. Then rinse
thoroughly. Call a doctor immediately if
swallowed.141)The
symbol on the reservoir
identifies synthetic brake fluids,
distinguishing them from the mineral type.
Use of mineral type fluids will damage
the special rubber seals of the braking
system beyond repair.
WARNING
30)Abarth 595/695 is designed and built
for road use, in compliance with the
current regulations. Car use in the track
must be considered as occasional and in
any case under the responsibility of the
user. The vehicle CANNOT be modified or
tampered with for any reason; this would
alter the Manufacturer homologation
and/or safety requirements. Using a
modified or tampered product relieves the
Manufacturer from any responsibility on
the product and may expose people
to serious risks.
31)When topping up, take care not to mix
up the various types of fluids: they are
not compatible with each other and could
seriously damage the car.
32)Do not add oil with specifications other
than those of the oil already existing in
the engine.
33)PARAFLU
UPanti-freeze is used in the
engine cooling system. Use the same fluid
as in the cooling system when topping
up. PARAFLU
UPcannot be mixed with any
other type of fluid. If this happens, do not
start the engine under any circumstances
and contact an Abarth Dealership.34)Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
WARNING
4)Used engine oil and oil filters contain
substances which are harmful to the
environment. You are advised to go to an
Abarth Dealership to have the oil and filters
changed.

PRESCRIPTIONS FOR HANDLING THE VEHICLE AT THE END OF
ITS LIFE
(for markets where provided)
FCA has been committed for many years to safeguarding the environment through the constant improvement of its production
processes and manufacturing products that are increasingly "eco-compatible". To grant customers the best possible service
in terms of respecting environmental laws and in response to European Directive 2000/53/EC governing vehicles at the end of
their life, FCA is offering its customers the chance to hand over their vehicle at the end of its life without incurring any additional
costs. The European Directive sets out that when the vehicle is handed over, the last keeper or owner should not incur any
expenses as a result of it having a zero or negative market value
To hand your vehicle over at the end of its life without extra cost, contact one of our dealerships if you are purchasing another
vehicle or an FCA-authorised collection and scrapping centre. These centres have been carefully chosen to offer high quality
service for the collection, treatment and recycling of vehicles at their end of life, respecting the surrounding environment.
You can find further information on these collection and scrapping centres either from an FCA dealership or by calling the
number in the Warranty Booklet or by consulting the websites of the various FCA brands.

TIPS, CONTROLS
AND GENERAL
INFORMATION
Road safety
Learn how to use the various system
functions before setting off.
Read the instructions for the system
carefully before setting off.
Reception conditions
Reception conditions change
constantly while driving. Reception may
be interfered with by the presence of
mountains, buildings or bridges,
especially when you are far away from
the broadcaster.
IMPORTANT The volume may be
increased when receiving traffic
bulletins.
Care and maintenance
Observe the following precautions to
ensure the system is fully operational:
the display is sensitive to scratching,
liquids and detergents. Avoid hitting
the display with pointed or hard objects
that could damage its surface. Do not
press on the display when cleaning it.
never use alcohol, petrol or
petroleum-based solvents to clean the
display screen.
Prevent any liquid from entering the
system: this could damage it beyond
repair.
Anti-theft protection
The system is equipped with an
anti-theft protection system based on
the exchange of information with the
electronic control unit (Body Computer)
on the vehicle.
This guarantees maximum safety and
prevents the secret code from being
entered after the power supply has
been disconnected.
If the check has a positive outcome, the
system will start to operate, whereas if
the comparison codes are not the
same or if the electronic control unit
(Body Computer) is replaced, the
system will ask the user to enter the
secret code according to the procedure
described in the paragraph below.
Entering the secret code
When the system is switched on, if the
code is requested, the display will
show “Please enter Anti-Theft Code”
followed by the screen showing a
keypad to enter the secret code.
The secret code is made up of four
digits from 0 to 9.If an incorrect code is entered, the
system displays “Incorrect Code” to
notify the user of the need to enter the
correct code.
After the 3 available attempts to enter
the code, the system displays
“Incorrect Code. Radio locked. Wait for
30 minutes”. After the text has
disappeared it is possible to start the
code entering procedure again.
Vehicle radio passport
This document certifies ownership of
the system. The vehicle radio passport
shows the system model, serial number
and secret code.
IMPORTANT Keep the car radio
passport in a safe place so that you
can give the information to the relevant
authorities if the system is stolen.
In case of loss of the car radio
passport, contact the Abarth
Dealership, taking an ID document and
the car ownership documents.Important notes
In the event of an anomaly, the system
should only be checked and repaired at
an Abarth Dealership.
If the temperature is particularly low, the
display may take a while to reach
optimum brightness.

After updating the phone software, for
proper operation, it is recommended to
remove the phone from the list of
devices linked to the radio, delete the
previous system pairing also from
the list ofBluetooth® devices on the
phone and make a new pairing.
USB SOURCE
To activate the USB mode, insert the
corresponding device into the USB port
on the central console.
If a USB device is inserted with the
system on, it will start playing the tracks
found on the device.
AUX SOURCE
To activate AUX mode, insert an
appropriate device in the AUX socket
on the car.
When a device is inserted using the
AUX output socket the system starts
reproducing the AUX source
connected, if it is already being played.
Adjust the volume using the
button/
knob on the front panel or using the
volume adjustment control on the
connected device.
The "AUX volume compensation"
function can be selected in Radio mode
only when the AUX source is active.IMPORTANT The functions of the
device connected with the AUX socket
are directly managed by the device
itself: it is not possible to change
track/folder/playlist or control playing
start/end/pause with the controls on
the front panel or on the steering wheel.
Do not leave the cable of your portable
player connected to the AUX socket
after disconnection, to avoid possible
hiss from the speakers.
TRIP COMPUTER
Press the "Trip" button on the display to
view the car's trip information.
This function is composed of the
“Instant info” items (“Range” and
“Current fuel consumption”) and the
two separate trips called “Trip A” and
“Trip B” for monitoring the vehicle's
"complete journey" in a reciprocally
independent manner.
Both functions can be reset (reset -
start of a new journey): to reset the
desired "Trip" hold down the "Trip A" or
"Trip B" buttons.
PHONE MODE
PHONE MODE ACTIVATION
Press the “Phone” button on the
display to activate the Phone mode.
