technical data FIAT 500 2018 Owner handbook (in English)

Dear Customer,
We would like to congratulate and thank you for choosing a Fiat.
We have written this handbook to help you get to know all the features of your vehicle and use it in the best possible way.
Here you will find information, advice and important warnings regarding use of your vehicle and how to achieve the best
performance from its technical features.
You are advised to read it right through before taking to the road for the first time, to become familiar with the controls and above all
with those concerning brakes, steering and gearbox; at the same time, you can understand the vehicle behaviour on different road
surfaces.
This document also provides a description of special features and tips, as well as essential information for the safe driving, care and
maintenance of your vehicle over time.
After reading it, you are advised to keep the handbook inside the vehicle, for an easy reference and for making sure it remains on
board the vehicle should it be sold.
In the attached Warranty Booklet you will also find a description of the Services that Fiat offers to its customers, the Warranty
Certificate and the detail of the terms and conditions for maintaining its validity.
We are sure that these will help you to get in touch with and appreciate your new vehicle and the service provided
by the people at Fiat.
Enjoy reading. Happy motoring!
This Owner Handbook describes all vehicle versions.
Options, equipment dedicated to specific markets or versions are not explicitly indicated in the text: as a
consequence, you should only consider the information which is related to the trim level, engine and version that you
have purchased. Any content introduced throughout the production of the model, outside the specific request of
options at the time of purchase, will be identified with the wording
(where provided).
All data contained in this publication are intended to help you use your vehicle in the best possible way. FCA Italy
S.p.A. aims at a constant improvement of the vehicles produced. For this reason it reserves the right to make changes
to the model described for technical and/or commercial reasons.

the vehicle and start the engine;
❒ turn on the compressor by pressing
the ON-OFF button 5 fig. 107.

❒ disconnect the cartridge 1 from the
compressor by pressing the
release button 8 and lifting the
cartridge 1 up fig. 109.
108DVDF0S0231
109DVDF0S0233
If the pressure gauge 7 fig. 107 shows
a pressure less than 1.8 bar / 26 psi
15 minutes after turning on the
compressor, switch off the
compressor, disconnect the sealant
hose 4 from the tyre valve and remove
the cartridge 1 from the compressor
fig. 105.
Move the vehicle about 10m to
distribute the sealant; stop the vehicle
safely, engage the handbrake and
restore the pressure using the black
inflation hose 9 fig. 110 until the
required pressure is reached. If also in
this case, the pressure is lower than
1.8 bar / 26 psi 15 minutes after
turning on, do not resume driving but
contact a Fiat Dealership.

TYRE INFLATION PRESSURES 33) 39)
When the tires are warm, the inflation pressure should be + 0.3 bar in relation to the recommended figure. However, recheck
that the value is correct with the tyre cold.
SNOW CHAINS 15)
The use of snow chains should be in compliance with local regulations of each country. Snow chains can be fitted to the
tyres of the front wheels (drive wheels) only. Check the tension of the snow chains after the first few metres have been
driven.
IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be fitted to the space-saver spare wheel. If a front tyre is punctured, replace a rear wheel
with the space-saver wheel and move the rear wheel to the front axle. In this way, with two normal drive wheels at the front,
snow chains can be fitted.
