lock FIAT 500 2020 Owner handbook (in English)

129)Before starting any servicing
operation, stop the engine and remove the
key from the ignition switch to operate
the steering lock, particularly when the
wheels do not touch the ground. If this is
not possible (for example if the key needs
to be turned to MAR or the engine must be
running), remove the main fuse that
protects the electric power steering.START&STOP
SYSTEM
130) 131) 132) 133)
46)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Start&Stop system automatically
stops the engine each time the car
is stationary and starts it again when
the driver wants to move off.
In this way, the vehicle efficiency is
increased, by reducing consumption,
dangerous gas emissions and sound
pollution.
OPERATING MODE
Stopping the engine
With manual transmission: with the car
stationary, the engine stops with the
transmission in neutral and the clutch
pedal released.
With Dualogic gearbox: the engine
stops if the car is at a standstill and the
brake pedal is pressed. This condition
can be maintained even if the brake
pedal is not depressed, if the gear lever
is in position N (Neutral).NOTE The engine can only be stopped
automatically over about 10 km/h, to
prevent the engine from being
repeatedly stopped when driving at
walking pace.
Stopping of the engine is indicated by
the warning light or the symbol
on
the instrument panel switching on
(on some versions, together with a
message on the display).
Restarting the engine
With manual transmission: press the
clutch pedal.
With Dualogic gearbox: if the gear lever
is in position N (Neutral), place it in
any other gear, otherwise release the
brake pedal or move the gear lever
to+,–or R (Reverse).
MANUAL SYSTEM
ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
The system can be activated/
deactivated by pressing the button A
fig. 79 on the dashboard.
With the system off, the warning light or
the symbol
appear on the
instrument panel (with a message for
versions with colour display).
Start&Stop mode will be active
whenever the engine is started.

STARTING AND DRIVING

FUEL TANK CAP
Plug B fig. 84 is fitted with loss
prevention device C which secures it to
flap A.
Refuelling procedure
open lid A;
turn the ignition key anticlockwise in
the lock and unscrew the cap B. The
sealing may cause a slight pressure
increase in the tank. A little breathing
off, while slackening the cap is
absolutely normal;
when refuelling, fasten the cap to
the device inside the flap as shown
in fig. 84.LPG VERSIONS
IMPORTANT Only use LPG for motor
vehicles.
The gas filler is located next to the
petrol filler cap. It has a check valve,
located in the filler body itself.
To access the filler, open the access
flap A fig. 85 and undo the cap B.
Observe the following precautions
during the refuelling operation:stop the engine;
apply the handbrake;
turn the ignition key to STOP;
do not smoke;
hand the special adapter over to the
qualified LPG refuelling personnel.IMPORTANT Before refuelling with LPG,
the qualified personnel must make
sure that the adapter is correctly
screwed onto the filler.
IMPORTANT Depending on the country,
there are various types of adapters for
the refuelling pump. The adapter C
fig. 86 that comes with the car in a
special case is specifically designed for
the country in which the car is sold. If
you are in a different country, find out
what type of adapter is used there.
IMPORTANT Look after the LPG
adapter carefully so that it does not get
damaged.
IMPORTANT Only use LPG for motor
vehicles.

engage the hub cap by applying an
axial force in several points as shown
in fig. 120 to allow the correct coupling
between hub cap and wheel.
Versions with alloy rims
Proceed as follows:

the spanner provided to tighten the
bolts;
lower the vehicle and remove the
jack;
use the wrench provided to fully
tighten the bolts in an alternating
sequence;

vehicle is running.
WARNING
154)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
exceed 80 km/h.
155)On the space-saver wheel there is an
orange label, summarising the main
warnings regarding space-saver wheel
usage restrictions. Never remove or cover
the label. The label contains the following
indications in four languages: "Warning! For
temporary use only! 80 km/h max.!
Replace with standard wheel as soon as
possible. Never cover this indication."
Never apply a wheel cap on a space-saver
wheel.
156)If you change the type of wheel (alloy
rims instead of steel rims and vice versa)
you will have to change the entire set
of fastening bolts with another set of
suitably sized bolts.157)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.
158)The driving features of the car may
change when a space-saver wheel is fitted.
Avoid violent acceleration and braking,
abrupt steering and fast cornering. The
total life of a space-saver wheel is
approximately 3,000 km, after which it
must be replaced by another wheel 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 wheels
at the same time is forbidden. Do not apply
grease to the bolt threads before fitting:
they could come unscrewed.

IN AN EMERGENCY

WARNING
166)This starting procedure must be
performed by expert personnel because
incorrect actions could cause electrical
discharge of considerable intensity.
Furthermore, battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive: avoid contact with skin and
eyes. Keep naked flames and lighted
cigarettes away from the battery and do
not cause sparks.
167)Remove any metal objects (e.g. rings,
watches, bracelets), that might cause an
accidental electrical contact and cause
serious injury.
168)Do not attempt to charge a frozen
battery: it must be thawed first, otherwise it
may explode. If freezing has occurred, the
battery should be checked by skilled
personnel to make sure that the internal
elements are not damaged and that the
body is not cracked, with the risk of leaking
poisonous and corrosive acid.
WARNING
56)Never use a fast battery-charger to
start the engine as this could damage the
electronic systems of your vehicle,
particularly the ignition and engine fuel
supply control units.57)Do not connect the cable to the
negative terminal (–) of the flat battery. The
following spark could lead to battery
explosion and cause serious harm. Only
use the specific earth point; do not use any
other exposed metallic part.
58)Never bump start the engine by
pushing, towing or coasting downhill. This
could cause fuel to flow into the catalytic
converter and damage it beyond repair.
FUEL CUT-OFF
SYSTEM
169)
This intervenes in the case of an impact
causing:
the fuel supply cut-off with the
engine consequently switching off
the automatic unlocking of the doors
turning on of the lights inside the
vehicle;
The intervention of the system is
indicated by a message shown on the
display.
IMPORTANT Carefully check the car for
fuel leaks, for instance in the engine
compartment, under the car or near the
tank area. After a collision, turn the
ignition key to STOP position to prevent
the battery from running down.
To restore the correct operation of the
vehicle, proceed as follows:
turn the ignition key to the MAR-ON
position
activate the right direction indicator
deactivate the right direction
indicator
activate the left direction indicator
deactivate the left direction indicator
