transmission FIAT 500E 2016 2.G Owner's Manual

In order to move your vehicle to the side of the road the transmission must be in NEU-
TRAL and the 12 Volt system must be functional.To place the transmission into NEU-
TRAL you must turn the ignition OFF and then back to the RUN position (cycle the igni-
tion) then push the NEUTRAL button.
NOTE:
The high voltage battery will remain disabled after an Enhanced Accident Response Event
and must be reset by your authorized dealership.
FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it can often be moved using a rock-
ing motion.Turn the steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the front
wheels.Then shift back and forth between DRIVE and REVERSE while gently pushing the
accelerator.Use the least amount of accelerator pedal pressure that will maintain the
rocking motion, without spinning the wheels.
NOTE:
Push the “ESC Off ” switch, to place the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system in “Par-
tial Off ” mode, before rocking the vehicle.Refer to “Electronic Brake Control” in “Start-
ing And Operating” on the DVD for further information.Once the vehicle has been
freed, push the “ESC Off ” switch again to restore “ESC On” mode.
CAUTION!
•When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by shifting between DRIVE and REVERSE, do not
spin the wheels faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drivetrain damage may result.
•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.
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous.Forces generated by excessive wheel speeds may
cause damage, or even failure, of the axle and tires.A tire could explode and injure
someone.Do not spin your vehicle's wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) or for lon-
ger than 30 seconds continuously without stopping when you are stuck and do not let
anyone near a spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.

CAUTION!
•Mixing of coolant (antifreeze) other than specified Organic Additive Technology
(OAT) coolant (antifreeze), may result in cooling system damage and may decrease
corrosion protection.Organic Additive Technology (OAT) coolant is different and
should not be mixed with Hybrid Organic Additive Technology (HOAT) coolant
(antifreeze).If a non-OAT coolant (antifreeze) is introduced into the cooling sys-
tem in an emergency, it should be replaced with the specified coolant (antifreeze)
as soon as possible.
•Do not use water alone or alcohol-based coolant (antifreeze) products.Do not
use additional rust inhibitors or antirust products, as they may not be compatible
with the radiator coolant and may plug the radiator.
•This vehicle has not been designed for use with propylene glycol-based coolant
(antifreeze).Use of propylene glycol-based coolant (antifreeze) is not recom-
mended.
