2012 FIAT 500 GUCCI ECU

•Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details regarding the Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS).
WARNING!
•Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision.The air
bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some collisions, the air bags
won't deploy at all.Always wear your seat belts even though you have air bags.
• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced Front
Air Bag deployment could cause serious injury, including death.Air bags need room
to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the steering wheel or
instrument panel.
• Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains and Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bags need room to inflate. Do not lean against the door or window. Sit upright in
the center of the seat.
• Being too close to the Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain and/or
Seat-Mounted Side Air Bag during deployment could cause you to be severely
injured or killed.
• Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you are involved in
another collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immediately.
CHILD RESTRAINTS
•Children 12 years and under should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if available.
According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats rather
than in the front.
• Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children ride in
proper restraint systems.This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.
Installing The LATCH - Compatible Child Restraint System
•Your vehicle's second row passenger seats are equipped with the child restraint anchorage
system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren. LATCH child
restraint anchorage systems are installed in both rear seating positions.
• NEVER install compatible child seats so that two seats share a common lower anchorage.

Installing the Child Restraint Using the Vehicle Seat Belts
•To install a child restraint, first pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractor to route
it through the belt path of the child restraint, and then slide the latch plate into the buckle.
• Next, extract all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor and then allow the belt to retract
into the retractor. Finally, pull on any excess webbing to tighten the lap portion around the child
restraint.Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally, and pull it
tight if necessary.
• Once you have completed securing the child restraint with the seat belt, secure the top tether
strap.The tether strap should be routed under the center of the head restraint.
WARNING!
•In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectile inside
the vehicle.The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could become so
great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are.The child and
others could be badly injured.Any child riding in your vehicle should be in a proper
restraint for the child's size.
• Improper installation of a child restraint to the anchorages can lead to failure of an
infant or child restraint.The child could be severely injured or killed. Follow the
manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.
• An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and
possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the child
seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.
• Rearward-facing child seats must never be used in the front seat of a vehicle with a
front passenger air bag.An air bag deployment could cause severe injury or death to
infants in this position.

death.
• In a collision, there is a greater risk of being thrown from a vehicle with an open
sunroof.You could also be seriously injured or killed.Always fasten your seat belt
properly and make sure all passengers are properly secured.

4. Using the swivel wrench, raise the vehicle byturning the jack screw to the right. Raise the
vehicle only until the tire just clears the
surface and enough clearance is obtained to
install the spare tire. Minimum tire lift provides
maximum stability.
5. Remove the wheel bolts and pull the wheel off the hub. For vehicles equipped with
aluminum wheels, the center caps must be
removed to remove the wheel bolts.
NOTE: The wheel cover is held on the wheel by the wheel bolts.When reinstalling the original
wheel, properly align the wheel cover to the valve stem, place the wheel cover onto the wheel,
then install the wheel bolts.
6. Install the spare wheel and wheel bolts with the cone shaped end of the bolts toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the bolts.To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do not tighten
the bolts fully until the vehicle has been lowered.
7. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the left.
8. Finish tightening the bolts. Push down on the wrench while tightening the wheel bolts.Alternate bolts until each bolt has been tightened twice.The correct wheel bolt torque is 63 ft lbs
(85 N·m) for steel wheel and 75 ft lbs (100 N·m) for aluminum wheels. If you doubt that you
have tightened the bolts correctly, have them checked with a torque wrench by your authorized
dealer or service station.
9. Disassemble the jack and tools and place them in the bag. Stow it under the driver's seat and secure the bag to the floor with the straps attached to the floor of the vehicle.
10. Place the deflated (flat) tire in the cargo area. Have the tire repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
11. Check the spare tire pressure as soon as possible. Correct the tire pressure as required.

WARNING!
•Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the vehicle close to moving traffic.
Pull far enough off the road to avoid the danger of being hit when operating the jack
or changing the wheel.
• Being under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous.The vehicle could slip off the jack and
fall on you.You could be crushed. Never put any part of your body under a vehicle
that is on a jack.
• Never start or run the engine while the vehicle is on a jack. If you need to get under
a raised vehicle, take it to a service center where it can be raised on a lift.
• The jack is designed to be used as a tool for changing tires only.The jack should not
be used to lift the vehicle for service purposes.The vehicle should be jacked on a
firm level surface only.Avoid ice or slippery areas.
• Carefully follow these tire changing warnings to help prevent personal injury or
damage to your vehicle:
• Always park on a firm, level surface as far from the edge of the roadway as possible
before raising the vehicle.
• Turn on the Hazard Warning flashers.
• Block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be raised.
• Set the parking brake firmly and set an automatic transmission in PARK; a manual
transmission in REVERSE.
• Never start or run the engine with the vehicle on a jack.
• Do not let anyone sit in the vehicle when it is on a jack.
• Do not get under the vehicle when it is on a jack.
• Only use the jack in the positions indicated and for lifting this vehicle during a tire
change.
• If working on or near a roadway, be extremely careful of motor traffic.
• To assure that spare tires, flat or inflated, are securely stowed, spares must be stowed
with the valve stem facing the ground.
• Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the vehicle less stable. It could slip
off the jack and hurt someone near it. Raise the vehicle only enough to remove the
tire.
• To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do not fully tighten the wheel
bolts until the vehicle has been lowered. Failure to follow this warning may result in
personal injury.
• To avoid possible personal injury, handle the wheel covers with care to avoid contact
with any sharp edges.
• A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a collision or hard stop could endanger the
occupants of the vehicle.Always stow the jack parts and the spare tire in the places
provided.
