fuel cap FIAT 500X 2019 Owner handbook (in English)

63)The iTPMS does not relieve the driver
from the obligation to check the tyre
pressure every month; it is not even to be
considered a replacing system for
maintenance or a safety system.
64)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
65)The iTPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre
pressure drops (e.g. if a tyre bursts). In this
case, stop the vehicle, braking with caution
and avoiding abrupt steering.
66)The system only warns that the tyre
pressure is low: it is not able to inflate
them.
67)Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel
consumption, reduces the tread duration
and may affect the capacity to drive safely.
IMPORTANT
22)The system may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such
as: heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow.
23)The section of the bumper before the
sensor must not be covered with
adhesives, auxiliary headlights or any other
object.
24)System intervention might be
unexpected or delayed when other vehicles
transport loads projecting from the side,
above or from the rear, with respect to the
normal size of the vehicle.25)Operation can be adversely affected by
any structural change made to the vehicle,
such as a modification to the front
geometry, tyre change, or a heavier load
than the standard load of the vehicle.
26)Incorrect repairs made on the front part
of the vehicle (e.g. bumper, chassis) may
alter the position of the radar sensor, and
adversely affect its operation. Go to a Fiat
Dealership for any operation of this type.
27)Do not tamper with nor carry out any
intervention on the radar sensor or on the
camera on the windscreen. In the event of
a sensor failure, contact a Fiat Dealership.
28)When towing a trailer (with modules
installed after purchasing the vehicle), a
vehicle or during loading manoeuvres on a
vehicle transporter (or in vehicle for
transport), the system must be deactivated
via theUconnect™system.
29)Do not wash with high-pressure jets in
the bumper lower area: in particular do not
operate on the system's electrical
connector.
30)Be careful in the case of repairs and
new paintings in the area around the
sensor (panel covering the sensor on the
left side of the bumper). In the event of a
frontal impact the sensor may automatically
deactivate and display a warning to indicate
that the sensor needs to be repaired. Even
without a malfunction warning, deactivate
the system operation if you think that the
position of the radar sensor has changed
(e.g. due to low-speed frontal impact as
during parking manoeuvres). In these
cases, go to a Fiat Dealership to have the
radar sensor realigned or replaced.
OCCUPANT
PROTECTION
SYSTEMS

REFUELLING THE
VEHICLE
136) 137) 138)
PETROL ENGINES
Only use unleaded petrol with a number
of octanes (R.O.N.) not lower than 95
(EN228 specification).
IMPORTANT Never introduce leaded
petrol to the tank, even in small
amounts in an emergency, as this
would damage the catalytic converter
beyond repair.
DIESEL ENGINES
70)
Only use Diesel for motor vehicles (EN
590 specification).
When using or parking the vehicle 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
"Capless Fuel" is a device at the
opening for the fuel tank which opens
and re-closes automatically when the
fuel supply gun is introduced/removed.The "Capless Fuel" device is provided
with an inhibitor which prevents
refuelling with incorrect fuel.
Opening the flap
To refuel proceed as follows:
open flap A fig. 115, pulling the tab
outwards;
introduce the dispenser in the filler
and refuel;
after 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 flap is provided with a dust cover
gaiter B which prevents deposits of
impurities and dust at the end of the
filler when the flap is closed.Emergency refuelling
Proceed as follows:
open the boot and take adaptor C
fig. 116, located in the tool box or in the
Fix&Go kit container (according to the
versions);
open flap A fig. 115, as described
previously;
introduce the adaptor in the filler as
shown and refuel;
after refuelling, remove the adapter
and close the flap;
finally refit the adaptor in the boot.

TOPPING UP AdBlue® DIESEL
EMISSIONS ADDITIVE
(Diesel versions only)
(where provided)
71)
Preliminary conditions
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures lower
than -11°C. If the car stands for a long
time at this temperature refilling could
be difficult.
Proceed as follows:
park the car on flat ground and stop
the engine by setting the start device in
the OFF position;
open the fuel flap A fig. 117, then
undo and remove the cap B (blue) from
the AdBlue® filler.Proceed as follows:
insert the AdBlue® nozzle in the filler,
start refilling and stop refilling at the first
shut-off (the shut-off indicates that the
AdBlue® tank is full). Do not proceed
with the refilling, to prevent spillage of
AdBlue®;
extract the nozzle.
Refilling with containers
Proceed as follows:
check the expiration date;
read the advice for use on the label
before pouring the content of the bottle
into the AdBlue® tank;
if systems which cannot be screwed
in (e.g. tanks) are used for refilling, after
the indication appears on the
instrument panel display (see “Warning
lights and messages" paragraph in the
“Knowing the instrument panel”
chapter), fill the AdBlue® tank with no
more than 7.5 litres;
if containers which can be screwed
to the filler are used, the reservoir is full
when the AdBlue® level in the container
stops pouring out. Do not proceed
further.
Operations after refilling
Proceed as follows:
fit the cap B fig. 117back on the
AdBlue® filler by turning it clockwise
and screwing it completely;
set the ignition device to MAR (it is
not necessary to start the engine);
wait for the indication on the
instrument panel to switch off before
moving the car. The indication may stay
on for a few seconds to approximately
half a minute. If the engine is started
and the car is moved, the indication will
remain on for longer. This will not
compromise engine operation;
if the AdBlue® was topped up when
the tank was empty, see the “Refuelling
” paragraph in the “Technical
Specifications” chapter and wait for
2 minutes before starting the engine.
IMPORTANT If AdBlue® is spilled out of
the filler neck, clean up well the area
and proceed to filling up again. If the
liquid crystallises, eliminate it with a
sponge and warm water.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM
LEVEL: this could cause damage to
the reservoir. AdBlue® freezes at
under -11 °C. Although the system
is designed to operate below the
freezing point of the AdBlue®, it is
advisable not to fill the tank beyond
the maximum level because if the
AdBlue® freezes the system can be
damaged. Follow the instructions in
this paragraph.

STARTING AND DRIVING

WARNING
136)Do not apply any object/plug to the
end of the filler which is not provided for
the car. The use of non-compliant
objects/plugs could cause a pressure
increase inside the tank, resulting in
dangerous situations.
137)Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel filler: fire risk.
Keep your face away from the fuel filler to
prevent breathing in harmful vapours.
138)Do not use a mobile phone near the
refuelling pump: risk of fire.
IMPORTANT
70)Vehicles with a diesel engine must only
be filled with diesel fuel for motor vehicles,
in compliance with European Standard EN
590. The use of other products or mixtures
may damage the engine beyond repair and
consequently invalidate the warranty, due
to the damage caused. If you accidentally
introduce other types of fuel into the tank,
do not start the engine. Empty the tank. If
the engine has been run for even an
extremely limited amount of time, you must
not only drain the fuel tank, but the rest of
the supply circuit as well.71)If the
AdBlue®overheats for a
prolonged period inside the tank to over 50
°C (for example, due to direct solar
irradiation), the
AdBlue®may decompose
and produce ammonia vapours. Ammonia
vapours have a pungent odour when the
cap of the
AdBlue®tank is unscrewed,
therefore be careful not to inhale any
ammonia vapours in the tank outlet. In this
concentration, however, the ammonia
vapors are not harmful or dangerous to
health.
AdBlue®(UREA)
ADDITIVE FOR
DIESEL EMISSIONS
The car may be equipped with an
AdBlue® (UREA) injection system and
Selective Catalytic Reduction to meet
emission standards, where provided.
These two systems ensure compliance
with the diesel emissions requirements;
at the same, they ensure fuel-efficiency,
handling, torque and power. For
messages and system warnings, refer
to the "Warning lights and messages"
paragraph in the "Knowing the
instrument panel" chapter.
AdBlue® (UREA) is considered a very
stable product with a long shelf life.
Stored at temperatures LOWER than
32 °C, it has a shelf life of at least one
year.
For more information on the AdBlue®
liquid type, see the “Fluids and
lubricants” paragraph in the “Technical
specifications” chapter.
The car is provided with an automatic
AdBlue® heating system when the
engine starts allowing the system to
work correctly at temperatures lower
than -11 °C.
IMPORTANT AdBlue® freezes at
temperatures lower than -11 °C.
