door lock FIAT 500L LIVING 2018 Owner handbook (in English)

THE FIAT CODE
SYSTEM
This is an electronic engine locking
system which increases protection
against attempted thefts of the car. It is
automatically activated when the
ignition key is removed.
There is an electronic device in each
key which can identify the signal
emitted, when the engine is started,
from an aerial built into the ignition
switch. The signal is the "password",
different every time the car is started,
through which the control unit
recognises the key and enables
starting.
OPERATION
Each time the car is started by turning
the ignition key to MAR, the Fiat CODE
system control unit sends a recognition
code to the Powertrain Control Module
to deactivate the immobiliser.
The code is sent only if the Fiat CODE
system control unit has acknowledged
the code received from the key.Each time the ignition key is turned to
STOP, the Fiat CODE system
deactivates the functions of the engine
control module. If, during starting,
the code is not correctly recognised,
the icon
appears on the instrument
panel display. In this case, turn the
key to STOP and then to MAR-ON; if it
is still locked, try again with the other
keys that come with the car. Contact a
Fiat Dealership if you still cannot start
the engine.
Activation of symbol while driving
If the
symbol illuminates, this
means that the system is running a
self-diagnosis (for example due to
a voltage drop). If the symbol remains
on, contact a Fiat Dealership.

KNOWING YOUR CAR

If you are on a slope or uneven surface,
place the wedge provided under the wheel
(see the instructions on the next pages).
124)The vehicle's driving characteristics
will be modified with the space-saver wheel
fitted. Avoid violent acceleration and
braking, abrupt steering and fast cornering.
The overall duration of the space-saver
wheel is of about 3000 km, after which the
relevant tyre must be replaced with another
one of the same type. Never install a
standard tyre on a rim that is designed for
use with 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 grease the threads of the stud bolts
before fitting them: they might slip out.
125)The jack is a tool developed and
designed only for changing a wheel, if a
tyre gets punctured or damaged, on the
vehicle with which it is supplied or on other
vehicles of the same model. Any other
use, e.g. to jack up other vehicle models or
different things, is strictly prohibited. Never
use it to carry out maintenance or repairs
under the vehicle or to change summer/
winter wheels and vice versa: we advise
you to contact a Fiat Dealership. Never go
under the raised vehicle: use it only in
the positions indicated. Do not use the jack
for loads higher than the one shown on
its label. Never start the engine with car
raised. If the vehicle is raised more than
necessary, everything can become more
unstable, with the risk of the vehicle
dropping violently. Thus, lift the car only as
needed in order to access the space-saver
spare wheel.126)The space-saver wheel cannot be
fitted with snow chains. If a front (drive) tyre
is punctured and chains are needed, use
a standard wheel from the rear axle and
install the space-saver wheel on the rear
axle. In this way, with two normal drive
wheels at the front axle, it is possible to use
snow chains.
127)When turning the jack handle make
sure that it can turn freely without scraping
your hand against the ground. The moving
components of the jack ("worm screw"
and joints) can also cause injuries: do not
touch them. If you come into contact
with lubricating grease, clean yourself
thoroughly.
128)If the hub cap is not fitted correctly, it
may come off when the car is travelling.
Never tamper with the inflation valve. Never
introduce tools of any kind between rim
and tyre. Check tyre and space-saver
wheel pressures regularly, complying with
the values given in the "Technical
specifications" chapter.
129)At the end of the operation of
raising/locking the space-saver wheel
device, the spanner must be extracted,
taking care NOT to turn it in the wrong
direction to facilitate the extraction of the
spanner itself, so as to prevent the
attachment device from being released and
the lack of safe restraint.
WARNING
62)Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible to have the correct tightening
of the wheel stud bolts checked.
