2015 FIAT 500L light

U.S. Federal regulations require that upon transfer of
vehicle ownership, the seller certify to the purchaser the
correct mileage that the vehicle has been driven. If your
odometer needs to be repaired or serviced, the repair
technician should leave the odometer reading the same
as it was before the repair or service. If s/he cannot do so,
then the odometer must be set at zero, and a sticker must
be placed in the door jamb stating what the mileage was
before the repair or service. It is a good idea for you to
make a record of the odometer reading before the repair/
service, so that you can be sure that it is properly reset, or
that the door jamb sticker is accurate if the odometer
must be reset at zero.
NOTE:If the vehicle is equipped with the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) in the instrument
cluster, all warnings including “door” and “gate” and
“Change Engine Oil” will only be displayed in the EVIC
display. For additional information, refer to “Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).”
23. Fuel Door Location Reminder
The fuel door reminder indicates that the fuel filler door
is located on the right side of the vehicle.
24. Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light
This light informs you of a problem with the
Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system. If a
problem is detected, the light will come on
while the engine is running. Cycle the ignition
key when the vehicle has completely stopped and the
shift lever is placed in the NEUTRAL position. The light
should turn off. If the light remains lit with the engine
running, your vehicle will usually be drivable; however,
see an authorized dealer for service as soon as possible. If
the light is flashing when the engine is running, imme-
diate service is required and you may experience reduced
performance, an elevated/rough idle or engine stall and
your vehicle may require towing. The light will come on
when the ignition is first turned to ON/RUN and remain

on briefly as a bulb check. If the light does not come on
during starting, have the system checked by an autho-
rized dealer.
25. Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Light
This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS). The light will turn on when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON/RUN position and
may stay on for as long as four seconds.
If the ABS light remains on or turns on while driving, it
indicates that the Anti-Lock portion of the brake system
is not functioning and that service is required. However,
the conventional brake system will continue to operate
normally if the BRAKE warning light is not on.
If the ABS light is on, the brake system should be serviced
as soon as possible to restore the benefits of Anti-Lock
brakes. If the ABS light does not turn on when the
ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN position, have
the light inspected by an authorized dealer.

RADIO OPERATION AND MOBILE PHONES
Under certain conditions, the mobile phone being on in
your vehicle can cause erratic or noisy performance from
your radio. This condition may be lessened or eliminated
by relocating the mobile phone antenna. This condition is
not harmful to the radio. If your radio performance does
not satisfactorily “clear” by the repositioning of the
antenna, it is recommended that the radio volume be
turned down or off during mobile phone operation.

NOTE:
•Continuous use of the Recirculation mode may make
the inside air stuffy and window fogging may occur.
Extended use of this mode is not recommended.
•The use of the Recirculation mode in cold or damp
weather could cause windows to fog on the inside,
because of moisture buildup inside the vehicle. Se-
lect the outside air position for maximum defogging.
•Recirculation can be used in all modes except for
Defrost.
•The A/C can be deselected manually without dis-
turbing the mode control selection.
3. Blower Control
Rotate this control to regulate the amount of air forced
through the ventilation system in any mode. The blower
speed increases as you move the control to the right from
the “0” (OFF) position. There are four blower speeds.
4. A/C Button
Push this button to engage the Air Conditioning. A light
will illuminate when the Air Conditioning system is
engaged.
MAX A/C

rear window over the heating filaments, to avoid damage
that might cause them to stop working properly.
Air Recirculation
Push and release the Air Recirculation button, so that the
LED on the button switch is on, to enter recirculation
mode. It is advisable to switch internal air recirculation
on while standing in traffic or in tunnels to prevent the
introduction of polluted air.
Do not use the function for a long time, particularly if
there are many passengers on board, to prevent the
windows from misting up.
NOTE:Internal air recirculation makes it possible to
reach the required heating or cooling conditions more
quickly depending on the mode selected. Do not use the
internal air recirculation function on rainy/cold days as it
would considerably increase the possibility of the win-
dows misting.

with maximum temperature settings for best wind-
shield and side window defrosting. When the defrost
mode is selected, the blower will automatically default

•Right Arrow – Air flow at central and side dashboard
vents to ventilate the chest and the face during the hot
season.
•Down Arrow – Air flow to the front and rear footwell
diffusers. This air distribution setting heats the passen-
ger compartment most quickly, giving a prompt sen-
sation of warmth.
•Right/Down Arrows – Air flow distributed between
footwell diffusers (hotter air) and central and side
dashboard vents (cooler air). This distribution setting
is useful in spring and autumn on sunny days.
•Up/Down Arrows – Air flow distributed between
footwell diffusers and windshield and front side win-
dow defrosting diffusers. This distribution setting al-
lows the passenger compartment to be warmed effec-
tively and prevents the windows from misting.
•Up/Right Arrows – Air flow distribution between
windshield defrosting diffusers and side and central
dashboard vents. This allows air to be sent to the
windshield in conditions of strong sunlight.
•Up/Right/Down Arrows – Air flow distribution to all
diffusers on the car.
NOTE:Air always flows from the side dashboard diffus-
ers: it is, however, possible to interrupt the air flow by
operating the wheel located near the corresponding
vents.
