climate control FIAT 500X 2015 2.G User Guide

WARNING
167)The air intake system (air cleaner,
rubber hoses, etc.) can be a protection in
the case of blowbacks from the engine.
DO NOT REMOVE this system unless you
need to carry out repair or servicing
operations. Before starting the engine
make sure the system is not dismantled:
failure to comply with this precaution
may cause serious injuries.
168)Exhaust emissions are very
dangerous and may be fatal. They contain
carbon monoxide, a colourless and
odourless gas which, if inhaled, may cause
fainting and poisoning.
169)The exhaust system can reach high
temperatures and cause a fire if the vehicle
is parked on flammable material. Dry grass
or leaves can also catch fire if they come
into contact with the exhaust system.
Do not park or use the vehicle in a place in
which the exhaust system might come
into contact with flammable material.
WARNING
65)It is recommended to have the vehicle
serviced by a Fiat Dealership. When
carrying out normal periodic operations
and small servicing interventions personally
on the vehicle, it is recommended to use
suitable equipment, genuine spare parts
and the necessary fluids. Do not carry out
any interventions if you don't have the
necessary experience.66)Incorrect maintenance of the vehicle or
failure to carry out operations or repairs
(when necessary) may lead to more
expensive repairs, damage to other
components or have a negative impact on
the vehicle performance. Have any
operating faults immediately checked by a
Fiat Dealership.
67)The vehicle is equipped with fluids
optimised for protecting its performance
and duration, and to extend servicing
intervals. Do not use chemicals for washing
these components since they may
damage the engine, the gearbox or the
climate control system. This damage is not
covered by the vehicle’s warranty. If, due
to malfunction of a component, washing is
needed, only use the fluid specific for
that procedure.
68)An excessive or insufficient amount of
oil in the block is extremely harmful for
the engine. Make sure it is always at an
adequate level.
69)Always require the use of only
compressor coolants and lubricants
approved and suitable for the specific air
conditioning system fitted on the vehicle.
Some non-approved coolants are
flammable and may explode, with the risk
of injuries. The use of non-approved
coolants or lubricants may adversely affect
system efficiency, leading to expensive
repairs.
70)The air conditioning system contains
high-pressure coolant: to prevent damage
to people or the system, any topping up
with fuel or repairs that involves
disconnection of the pipes must be carried
out by a Fiat Dealership.71)Vehicles equipped with a catalytic
converter must be exclusively supplied with
unleaded petrol. Leaded petrol would
permanently damage the catalytic
converter and eliminate its ability to reduce
polluting emissions, seriously
compromising the engine performance,
which would be irreparably damaged. If the
engine does not work correctly, especially
if it starts irregularly or if there is a reduction
of its performance, immediately go to a
Fiat Dealership. Prolonged and faulty
operation of the engine may cause
overheating of the catalytic converter and,
as a consequence, possible damage to
it and the vehicle.
72)Using a gearbox fluid different from the
prescribed one may compromise
gearshifting quality and/or cause
anomalous vibration of the gearbox.

(*) Version for specific marketsFUEL CONSUMPTIONThe fuel consumption values given in the table below are determined on the basis of the type-approval tests laid down by
specific European Directives. The procedures below are followed for measuring consumption:
❒urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that simulates urban use of the vehicle;
❒extra-urban cycle: frequent accelerating in all gears, simulating extra-urban use of the vehicle: speed varies between 0 and
120 km/h;
❒combined fuel consumption: calculated with a weighting of approximately 37% of the urban cycle and 63% of the extra-
urban cycle.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic situations, weather conditions, driving style, general conditions of the car, trim level/
equipment/accessories, load, climate control system, roof rack, other situations that affect air drag may lead to different fuel
consumption levels than those measured. The fuel consumption will get more regular only after having driven the first 3000 km.
