ABS FIAT 500L LIVING 2017 2.G User Guide

37)Sensor operation may also be
compromised by the presence of dust,
condensation, dirt or ice on the
windscreen, by traffic conditions (e.g.
vehicles that are driving not aligned with
yours, vehicles driving in a transverse
or opposite way on the same lane, bend
with a small radius of curvature), by road
surface conditions and by driving
conditions (e.g. off-road driving). Make sure
the windscreen is always clean. Use
specific detergents and clean cloths to
avoid scratching the windscreen. The
sensor operation may also be limited or
absent in some driving, traffic and road
surface conditions.
38)Projecting loads on the roof of the
vehicle may interfere with the correct
operation of the sensor. Before starting
make sure the load is correctly positioned,
in order not to cover the sensor operating
range.
39)If the windscreen must be replaced
due to scratches, chipping or breakage,
contact exclusively a Fiat Dealership.
Do not replace the windscreen on your
own, risk of malfunction! It is advisable to
replace the windscreen if it is damaged
in the area of the laser sensor.
40)Do not tamper with nor operate on the
laser sensor. Do not close the openings
in the aesthetic cover located under the
interior rear view mirror. In the event of
a sensor failure, contact a Fiat Dealership.
41)If you are driving on roads close to
trees with protruding branches it is
advisable to deactivate the system to
prevent the branches at the height of the
bonnet or the windscreen from interfering
with the system.42)Do not cover the operating range of the
sensor with stickers or other objects. Also
pay attention to other objects on the
bonnet (e.g. a layer of snow) and make
sure they do not interfere with the light
emitted by the laser.
43)If a trailer or a vehicle is towed, the
system must be deactivated with the
display Setup Menu.
44)If the system signals a pressure
decrease on a specific tyre, it is
recommended to check the pressure on all
four tyres.
45)iTPMS does not relieve the driver from
the obligation to check the tyre pressure
every month; it is not to be considered
a system to replace maintenance or a
safety system.
46)The iTPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre
pressure drops (for example when a tyre
bursts). In this case, stop the vehicle,
braking with caution and avoiding abrupt
steering.
47)The iTPMS only warns that the tyre
pressure is low: it is not able to inflate
them.
48)Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel
consumption, reduces the tread duration
and may affect the capacity to drive safely.
49)Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres cold. Should it become necessary for
whatever reason to check pressure with
warm tyres, do not reduce pressure even
though it is higher than the prescribed
value, but repeat the check when tyres are
cold.OCCUPANT
PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
The most important safety equipment
of the vehicle comprise the following
protection systems:
❒seat belts;
❒SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system;
❒head restraints;
❒child restraint systems;
❒front airbags and side bags.
Read the information given the
following pages with the utmost care. It
is of fundamental importance that the
protection systems are used in the
correct way to guarantee the maximum
possible safety level for the driver and
the passengers.
For the description of the head restraint
adjustment see paragraph "Head
restraints" in chapter "Knowing your
vehicle".

Restoring the memorised speed:
accelerate gradually until reaching
a speed approaching the memorised
speed, engage the gear selected at the
time of speed memorising and press
the CANC RES button (B fig. 95).
INCREASING/
DECREASING
MEMORISED SPEED
Speed increase: press the accelerator
and memorise the new speed or move
the stalk upwards (+), until reaching
the new speed, which will be
memorised automatically.
Speed decrease: deactivate the
device and memorise the new speed or
move the stalk downwards (-), until
reaching the new speed, which will be
memorised automatically.
Each movement of the stalk
corresponds to an increase/decrease in
speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping
the stalk held upwards will continuously
increase the speed.
DEACTIVATING THE
DEVICE
The device can be switched off in the
following ways:
❒turning ring nut A toO;
❒by switching off the engine;❒by pressing the brake pedal, the
clutch or the accelerator; in this last
case the device is not effectively
deactivated, rather it gives priority to
the acceleration request. The device still
remains active, without the need to
press the CANC RES button to return
to the previous conditions once
acceleration is concluded.
Automatic deactivation of the
device: the device deactivates
automatically if the ABS (or ESC)
systems are activated, if the vehicle
speed is below the set limit or in the
case of device failure.
WARNING
108)While travelling with the device
engaged, do not put the gear lever into
neutral.
109)In the case of malfunctioning or if the
device fails, turn ring nut toOand contact
a Fiat Dealership.
SPEED LIMITER
(for versions/markets, where provided)
DESCRIPTION
This steering aid device allows the
speed of the vehicle to be limited to
values which can be set by the driver.
The maximum speed can be set both
with vehicle stationary and in motion.
The minimum speed that can be set is
30 km/h.
When the device is active, the vehicle
speed depends on the pressure at
the accelerator pedal, until the set
speed limit is reached. If necessary (in
the event of overtaking for example),
the set speed limit can be exceeded by
fully depressing the accelerator pedal.
By gradually reducing the pressure
on the accelerator pedal, the device will
be reactivated as soon as the car
speed drops below the set speed.
100
STARTING AND DRIVING

In addition to the electrical branches,
the car's electrical system can be
connected only to the supply cable for
an electric brake and to the cable for an
internal trailer light, though not more
than 15 W. To connect, use the preset
control unit with a battery cable with
cross-section no less than 2.5 mm
2.
IMPORTANT The use of auxiliary loads
other than external lights (electric brake,
winch, etc.) must occur with engine
running.
IMPORTANT To install a tow hook
contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
112)The ABS with which the vehicle is
equipped will not control the braking
system of the trailer. Take particular care
when travelling on slippery roads.
113)Never modify the braking system of
the vehicle to control the trailer brake. The
trailer braking system must be fully
independent of the vehicle’s hydraulic
system.
114)After fitting, fixing screw holes must
be sealed to prevent an exhaust gas inlet.
REFUELLING THE
VEHICLE
115) 116) 117)61)
During refuelling, switch the engine off,
engage the handbrake, turn the ignition
key to STOP and do not smoke.
PETROL ENGINES
Use unleaded petrol only, with octane
number (RON) no lower than 95.
DIESEL ENGINES
Only use Diesel for motor vehicles (EN
590 specification).
When using or parking the car for a
long time in the mountains or cold
areas, it is advisable to refuel using
locally available diesel. In this case, it is
also advisable to keep the tank over
50% full.
REFUELLING
PROCEDURE
Diesel and petrol versions
Proceed as follows:
❒open the flap A fig. 100 pulling it
outwards, fit the dispenser in the filler
and start refuelling;
❒at the end of refuelling, before
removing the dispenser, wait for at least
10 seconds in order for the fuel to
flow inside the tank;❒then remove the dispenser from the
filler and close flap A.
The refuelling procedure described
above is illustrated on label B fig. 100
which is applied inside the fuel flap. The
label also indicates the fuel type
(UNLEADED FUEL: petrol, DIESEL:
diesel fuel).
Flap A is provided with a dust cover
gaiter C fig. 100 which prevents
deposits of impurities and dust at the
end of the filler when the flap is closed.
