2014 FIAT 500L LIVING power steering

Never use a fast batter y-charger to star t
the engine as this could damage the
electronic systems of your car, particularly
the ignition and fuel supply control units.
WARNING
This procedure must be performed by
expert personnel because incorrect
actions could cause electrical discharge of
considerable intensity. Furthermore, battery
fluid is poisonous and corrosive: avoid contact
with skin and eyes. Keep naked flames and
lighted cigarettes away from the battery and do
not cause sparks.
BUMP STARTING
Never jump start the engine by pushing, towing or
coasting downhill.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake servo and
electrical power steering system are not active until
the engine is started. A much greater effort will
therefore be required to use the brake pedal or turn
the steering wheel.
REPLACING A WHEELGENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The car is equipped with the "Fix&Go Automatic
Kit": see the paragraph “Fix&Go Automatic Kit” for
how to use this device.
As an alternative to the “Fix&Go Automatic Kit” the
car may be equipped with a space-saver wheel: see
the instructions on the following pages for changing
the wheel.
WARNING
The space-saver wheel (for versions/
markets where provided) is specific to
your car, do not use it on other models, or use
the space-saver wheel of other models on your
car.The space-saver wheel must only be used
in case of emergency. It must only be used
for the distance necessary to reach a service
point and the car speed must not exceed 80
km/h.The space-saver wheel has an orange
sticker that summarises the main cautions for
use and limitations. Never remove or cover
the label.The following information is provided
in four languages on the label: "Important!
For temporary use only! 80 km/h max! Replace
with a standard tyre as soon as possible. Never
cover this indication." Never apply a hub cap on
a space-saver wheel.

WARNING
Before towing, turn the ignition key to
MAR and then to STOP without
removing it .The steering column will
automatically lock when the key is removed and
the wheels cannot be steered.
WARNING
Before tightening the hook clean the
threaded housing thoroughly. Make sure
that the hook is fully fastened in the housing
before towing the car.
WARNING
Whilst towing, remember that the
assistance of the brake servo and the
electric power steering is not available,
therefore greater force needs to be exerted on
the brake pedal and more effort is required
on the steering wheel. Do not use flexible cables
when towing and avoid jerky movements. Make
sure not to damage parts in contact with the
car while towing.When towing the vehicle, you
must comply with all specific traffic regulations
and adopt an appropriate driving behaviour.
Do not start the engine while towing the car.
