light FIAT 500 GUCCI 2012 2.G Owner's Manual

- Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light
•This light informs you of a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system.
• If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the engine is running. Cycle the ignition
when the vehicle has completely stopped and the shift lever is placed in the PARK position; the
light should turn off.
• If the light remains lit with the engine running, your vehicle will usually be drivable; however, see
an authorized service center immediately. If the light is flashing when the engine is running,
immediate service is required and you may experience reduced performance, an elevated/rough
idle or engine stall and your vehicle may require towing.
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) OFF Indicator Light
•This light indicates the Electronic Stability Control system (ESC) has been turned off by the
driver.
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation / Malfunction Indicator
Light
• The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” in the instrument cluster will come on for four
seconds when the ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN position. If the “ESC
Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” comes on continuously with the engine running, a
malfunction has been detected in the ESC system. If this light remains on, see your authorized
dealer as soon as possible to have the problem diagnosed and corrected.
NOTE:
• The “ESC Off Indicator Light” and the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” come on
momentarily each time the ignition switch is turned to ON/RUN.
• Each time the ignition is turned to ON/RUN, the ESC system will be ON even if it was turned
off previously.
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light
•Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly, when cold and inflated to
the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
• As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated.Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving
on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s
handling and stopping ability.
• IF THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE, ADJUST THE
AIR PRESSURE IN THE LOW TIRE TO THE AIR PRESSURE SHOWN ON THE VEHICLE
PLACARD OR TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE LABEL LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S
DOOR. NOTE: AFTER INFLATION, THE VEHICLE MAY NEED TO BE DRIVEN FOR 20
MINUTES BEFORE THE FLASHING LIGHT WILL TURN OFF.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
40

•Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s
responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
• Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the
system is not operating properly.The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire
pressure telltale.When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately
one minute and then remain continuously illuminated.This sequence will continue each time the
vehicle is restarted as long as the malfunction exists.
• When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal
low tire pressure as intended.TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including
the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly.Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or
more tires or wheels on your vehicle, to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
NOTE: Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C) of air temperature
change. Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage, especially in the Winter.
Example: If garage temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the outside temperature is 32°F (0°C), then
the cold tire inflation pressure should be increased by 3 psi (21 kPa), which equals 1 psi (7 kPa) for
every 12°F (7°C) for this outside temperature condition.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels.TPMS
pressures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle.
Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement
equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage. Do not use tire sealant from a can, or balance beads if your vehicle is
equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.
BRAKE- Brake Warning Light
• The Brake Warning light illuminates when there is either a system malfunction or the parking
brake is applied. If the light is on and the parking brake is not applied, it indicates a possible brake
hydraulic malfunction, brake booster problem or an Anti-Lock Brake System problem.
• Please have your vehicle serviced immediately.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous. Part of the brake system may
have failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle.You could have a collision. Have the
vehicle checked immediately.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
41

- Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
•Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc., may illuminate the
MIL after engine start.The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on through several typical
driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive normally and not require towing.
• If the MIL flashes when the engine is running, serious conditions may exist that could lead to
immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage.We recommend you do not
operate the vehicle. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
- Charging System Light
•This light shows the status of the electrical charging system. If the charging system light remains
on, it means that the vehicle is experiencing a problem with the charging system.
• We recommend you do not continue driving if the charging system light is on. Have the vehicle
serviced immediately.
- Oil Pressure Warning Light
•This light indicates low engine oil pressure. If the light turns on while driving, stop the vehicle and
shut off the engine as soon as possible.A chime will sound for four minutes when this light turns
on.
• We recommend you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the vehicle
serviced immediately.
- Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Light
•This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS).
• If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, we recommend you drive
to the nearest service center and have the vehicle serviced immediately.
- Air Bag Warning Light
•If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, have the vehicle serviced
by an authorized service center immediately.
IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS
•In any of the following situations, you can reduce the potential for overheating by taking the
appropriate action.
•On the highways — slow down.
• In city traffic — while stopped, shift transmission into NEUTRAL, but do not increase engine
idle speed.
NOTE: There are steps that you can take to slow down an impending overheat condition:
• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off.The A/C system adds heat to the engine cooling
system and turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.
• You can also turn the Temperature control to maximum heat, the Mode control to floor and the
Fan control to high.This allows the heater core to act as a supplement to the radiator and aids in
removing heat from the engine cooling system.
• If the temperature reading does not return to normal, turn the engine off immediately.

4. Using the swivel wrench, raise the vehicle byturning the jack screw to the right. Raise the
vehicle only until the tire just clears the
surface and enough clearance is obtained to
install the spare tire. Minimum tire lift provides
maximum stability.
5. Remove the wheel bolts and pull the wheel off the hub. For vehicles equipped with
aluminum wheels, the center caps must be
removed to remove the wheel bolts.
NOTE: The wheel cover is held on the wheel by the wheel bolts.When reinstalling the original
wheel, properly align the wheel cover to the valve stem, place the wheel cover onto the wheel,
then install the wheel bolts.
6. Install the spare wheel and wheel bolts with the cone shaped end of the bolts toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the bolts.To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do not tighten
the bolts fully until the vehicle has been lowered.
7. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the left.
8. Finish tightening the bolts. Push down on the wrench while tightening the wheel bolts.Alternate bolts until each bolt has been tightened twice.The correct wheel bolt torque is 63 ft lbs
(85 N·m) for steel wheel and 75 ft lbs (100 N·m) for aluminum wheels. If you doubt that you
have tightened the bolts correctly, have them checked with a torque wrench by your authorized
dealer or service station.
9. Disassemble the jack and tools and place them in the bag. Stow it under the driver's seat and secure the bag to the floor with the straps attached to the floor of the vehicle.
10. Place the deflated (flat) tire in the cargo area. Have the tire repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
11. Check the spare tire pressure as soon as possible. Correct the tire pressure as required.
Spare Tire Stowage
Reverse instructions of the spare removal section.
Rotate the jack wrench tool on the winch drive nut clockwise until effort becomes heavy and an
audible click is heard indicating the spare is properly stowed.
CAUTION!
• The winch mechanism is designed for use with the jack wrench extension tool only.
Use of air wrench or power tool may damage the winch.
• Do not attempt to raise the vehicle by jacking on locations other than those
indicated in the Jacking Instructions for this vehicle.
• Be sure to mount the spare tire with the valve stem facing outward.The vehicle
could be damaged if the spare tire is mounted incorrectly.

•Battery power is required to release the brake/transmission interlock system (automatic
transmission only).There is a removable plug in the right side of the shift lever housing that
allows you to insert your finger to override the system.The ignition key must be in the
ON/RUN position to use the override lever.
CAUTION!
•Failure to follow these towing methods can cause severe transmission damage. Such
damage is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
• DO NOT flat tow any vehicle equipped with an automatic transmission. Damage to
the drivetrain will result.
• If the vehicle being towed requires steering, the ignition switch must be in the
ON/RUN position.
• Do not attempt to use sling-type equipment when towing.When securing the
vehicle to a flatbed truck, do not attach to front or rear suspension components.
Damage to your vehicle may result from improper towing.
ENHANCED ACCIDENT RESPONSE SYSTEM
•In the event of an impact causing airbag deployment, if the communication network remains
intact, and the power remains intact, depending on the nature of the event the ORC will
determine whether to have the Enhanced Accident Response System perform the following
functions:
•Cut off fuel to the engine.
• Flash hazard lights as long as the battery has power or until the ignition key is turned off.
• Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the battery has power or until the
ignition key is removed.
• Unlock the doors automatically.
• After the event occurs, when the system is active, the message "Fuel Cutoff See Handbook" is
displayed.
• Carefully check the vehicle for fuel leaks in the engine compartment and on the ground near
the engine compartment and fuel tank before resetting the system and starting the engine.
NOTE: In order to start the engine and move the vehicle to a safe location after an impact, the
System Reset Procedure must be completed.

FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
•If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it can often be moved by a rocking motion.
Turn your steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the front wheels.Then shift
back and forth between DRIVE/1st gear and REVERSE. Using minimal accelerator pedal
pressure to maintain the rocking motion, without spinning the wheels, is most effective.
NOTE: If your vehicle is equipped with Traction Control or Electronic Stability Control (ESC),
turn the system OFF before attempting to “rock” the vehicle.
CAUTION!
• Racing the engine or spinning the wheels may lead to transmission overheating and
failure.Allow the engine to idle with the shift lever in NEUTRAL for at least one
minute after every five rocking-motion cycles.This will minimize overheating and
reduce the risk of transmission failure during prolonged efforts to free a stuck
vehicle.
• When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by moving between DRIVE/1st and REVERSE, do not
spin the wheels faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drivetrain damage may result.
• Revving the engine or spinning the wheels too fast may lead to transmission
overheating and failure. It can also damage the tires. Do not spin the wheels above
30 mph (48 km/h) while in gear (no transmission shifting occurring).

WARNING!
•Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect
vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended
load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them.
• Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause collisions. Under-inflation is
the leading cause of tire failure and may result in severe cracking, component
separation, or “blow out”. Over-inflation reduces a tire’s ability to cushion shock.
Objects on the road and chuck holes can cause damage that results in tire failure.
Unequal tire pressures can cause steering problems.You could lose control of your
vehicle. Over-inflated or under-inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail
suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control.
WHEEL AND WHEEL TRIM CARE
•All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and chrome plated wheels, should be cleaned
regularly with a mild soap and water to prevent corrosion.
• To remove heavy soil and/or excessive brake dust, use a wheel cleaner or select a non-abrasive,
non-acidic cleaner.
CAUTION!
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, a bristle brush, or metal polishes. Do not use
oven cleaner.These products may damage the wheel's protective finish.Avoid
automatic car washes that use acidic solutions or harsh brushes that may damage the
wheel's protective finish.
