2015 FIAT 500L LIVING key

READ THIS CAREFULLYREFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in compliance with the European specification
EN228. Do not use petrol containing methanol or ethanol E85. Using these mixtures may cause misfiring and driving issues, as well as
damage fundamental components of the supply system.
Diesel engines: refuel only with diesel fuel motor vehicles conforming to the European specification EN590. The use of other products or
mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the damage caused.
For further details on the use of the correct fuel see the "Refuelling the vehicle" paragraph in the "Starting and driving" chapter.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Make sure that the handbrake is engaged and place the gear lever in neutral. Fully depress the clutch pedal, without pressing the accelerator,
then turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the
warning light to switch off (and
warning light for diesel versions); turn the
ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine starts.
Versions with Dualogic gearbox: make sure that the handbrake is engaged and that the gear lever is in P (Park) or N (Neutral), fully
depress the brake pedal, then turn the ignition key to AVV.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the vehicle on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other
flammable material: fire hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The vehicle is fitted with a system that carries out a continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to help protect the
environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), contact a Fiat Dealership.
They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle's electric system can support the required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing of the vehicle is essential for ensuring that it maintains its performance and its safety features, its environmental friendliness
and low running costs unchanged in time.

USE OF THE OWNER HANDBOOKOPERATING INSTRUCTIONSEach time direction instructions (left/right or forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are given, these must be intended as
regarding an occupant in the driver's seat. Special cases not complying with this rule will be specified as appropriate in the text.
The figures in the Owner Handbook are provided by way of example only: this might imply that some details of the image do
not correspond to the actual arrangement of your vehicle. In addition, the Handbook has been conceived considering vehicles
with steering wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible that on vehicles with steering wheel on the right side, the position
or construction of some controls is not exactly mirror-like with respect to the figure.
To identify the chapter with the information needed you can consult the index at the end of this Owner Handbook.
Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedicated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd page. A few pages further there is a key
for getting to know the chapter order and the relevant symbols in the tabs. There is in any case a textual indication of the
current chapter at the side of each even page.WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONSWhile reading this Owner Handbook you will find a series ofWARNINGSto prevent procedures that could damage your
vehicle.
There are alsoPRECAUTIONSthat must be carefully followed to prevent incorrect use of the components of the vehicle,
which could cause accidents or injuries.
Therefore allWARNINGSandPRECAUTIONSmust always be carefully followed.
WARNINGSandPRECAUTIONSare recalled in the text with the following symbols:
personal safety;vehicle safety;environmental protection.
NOTE These symbols, when necessary, are indicated besides the title or at the end of the line and are followed by a number.
That number recalls the corresponding warning at the end of the relevant section.

THE FIAT CODE
SYSTEMThis is an electronic engine locking
system which increases protection
against attempted thefts of the vehicle.
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 vehicle is
started, through which the control unit
recognises the key and enables
starting.OPERATIONEach time the vehicle 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
Powertrain Control Module. If, during
starting, the code is not correctly
recognised, the
warning light
switches on in the instrument panel. In
this case, turn the key to STOP and
then to MAR; if it is still locked, try again
with the other keys that come with the
vehicle. Contact a Fiat Dealership if
you still cannot start the engine.
Activation of warning light while
drivingIf the
warning light switches on, this
means that the system is running a
self-diagnosis (for example due to
a voltage drop). Should the fault persist,
contact a Fiat Dealership.

IGNITION DEVICE
3) 4) 5) 6)
The key can be turned to 3 different
positions fig. 5:
❒STOP: engine off, key can be
removed, steering column locked.
Some electrical devices (e.g. central
door locking system, etc.) can operate;
❒MAR: driving position. All electrical
devices are enabled;
❒AVV: engine starting.
The ignition switch is fitted with a safety
system that requires the ignition key
to be turned back to STOP if the engine
does not start, before the starting
operation can be repeated.
STEERING LOCKEngagement:when the key is in
position STOP, remove the key and turn
the steering wheel until it is locked.
Disengagement:move the steering

possible before resuming driving.
4)When getting out of the vehicle, always
remove the key to prevent any occupants
from accidentally activating the controls.
Remember to engage the handbrake.

or reverse if the car is parked downhill.
Never leave children unattended in the car.
5)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device). This could badly affect
performance and safety, invalidate the
warranty and also result in the non-
compliance of the car with approval
requirements.
6)Never remove the key while the car is
moving. The steering wheel will
automatically lock as soon as it is turned.
