2015 FIAT 500X reset

To unfasten the seat belts, press button
C fig. 63 and guide the seat belt with
your hand while it is rewinding, to
prevent it from twisting.
68) 69)
The retractor may lock when the vehicle
is parked on a steep slope: this is
perfectly normal. Furthermore, the
retractor mechanism locks the belt if it
is pulled sharply or in the event of
sudden braking, collisions or
high-speed bends.
Once seated, wear the rear seat belts
as shown in fig. 64.
IMPORTANT When returning the rear
seat from the tilted position to the
normal operating position, take care to
refit the seat belt correctly, in order to
guarantee prompt availability every
time.
ADJUSTING THE SEAT
BELT HEIGHT
70) 71)
Five different adjustments in height are
possible.
To carry out window height adjustment,
from the top to the bottom, buttons A
fig. 65 (located on both sides of handle
B) must be pressed simultaneously
(towards each other), and the handle
must be slid downwards.
To carry out window height adjustment,
from the top to the bottom, handle B
must be slid (without pressing
anything).
Always adjust the height of the seat
belts to fit the person wearing it: this
precaution could greatly reduce the risk
of injury in the event of collision.
Correct adjustment is obtained when
the belt passes approximately half way
between the shoulder and the neck.
WARNING
68)Do not press button C fig. 63 while
travelling.
69)Remember that, in the event of a
violent collision, back-seat passengers not
wearing seat belts represent a serious
danger to the front-seat passengers as well
as to themselves.
70)The height of the seat belts must be
adjusted with the vehicle stationary.
71)After the adjustment, always check that
the handle is locked in one of the preset
positions. To do this, with buttons A fig. 65
released, exert further pressure
downwards to allow the locking device to
click if the grip has not been released in
one of the possible positions.

TOWING TRAILERSIMPORTANT
120) 121)
For towing caravans or trailers the
vehicle must be fitted with an approved
tow hook and an adequate electrical
system. Should aftermarket installation
be requested, this must be carried
out by specialists.
Install any specific and/or additional
door mirrors as specified by the
Highway Code.
Remember that when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, braking
distances increase and overtaking
takes longer depending on the overall
weight of the trailer. Engage a low gear
when driving downhill, rather than
constantly using the brake. The weight
the trailer exerts on the vehicle tow
hook reduces the vehicle's loading
capacity by the same amount. To make
sure that the maximum towable weight
is not exceeded (given in the vehicle
registration document) account should
be taken of the fully laden trailer,
including accessories and luggage.
Do not exceed the speed limits specific
to each country you are driving in, in
the case of vehicles towing trailers.
In any case, the top speed must not
exceed 100 km/h.Any electric brake must be powered
directly by the battery through a cable
with a cross-section of no less than 2.5
mm
2. In addition to the electrical
branches, the vehicle electrical system
can only be connected to the supply
cable for an electric brake and to the
cable for an internal light for the trailer,
not exceeding 15 W. For connections,
use the preset control unit with a
battery cable with section not less than
2.5 mm
2. The use of auxiliary loads
other than external lights (e.g. electric
brake) must take place with engine
running.
INSTALLING A TOW
HOOKThe towing device should be fastened
to the body by specialised personnel
according to any additional and/or
integrative information supplied by the
Manufacturer of the device. It must also
meet current regulations with reference
to Directive 94/20/EC and subsequent
amendments.
For any version the towing device used
must be right for the towable weight
of the vehicle on which it is to be
installed.For the electrical connection a standard
connector should be used which is
generally placed on a special bracket
normally fastened to the towing device,
and a special ECU for external trailer
light control must be installed on the
vehicle. 7 or 13-pin 12 V DC
connections should be used (CUNA/
UNI and ISO/DIN Standards). Follow
any instructions provided by the vehicle
manufacturer and/or the towing device
manufacturer.
