2015 FIAT 500X check engine light

BATTERY
164) 165) 166)63)6)
The battery does not require the
electrolyte to be topped up with distilled
water.
A periodic check carried out at a Fiat
Dealership is, however, necessary
to check efficiency.Replacing the batteryIf necessary, replace the battery with
another original battery with the same
specifications. Follow the battery
Manufacturer’s instructions for
maintenance.USEFUL ADVICE FOR
EXTENDING THE LIFE OF
YOUR BATTERY
Useful advice for extending the life
of your batteryTo avoid draining your battery and
make it last longer, observe the
following instructions:
❒when you park the vehicle, ensure
that the doors, tailgate and bonnet are
closed properly, to prevent any lights
from remaining on inside the passenger
compartment;❒switch off all roof lights inside the
vehicle: the vehicle is however
equipped with a system which switches
all interior lights off automatically;
❒do not keep accessories (e.g. radio,
hazard warning lights, etc.) switched on
for a long time when the engine is not
running;
❒before performing any operation on
the electrical system, disconnect the
negative battery cable.
If, after purchasing the vehicle, you wish
to install electrical accessories which
require permanent electrical supply (e.g.
alarm, etc.) or accessories which
influence the electrical supply
requirements, contact a Fiat Dealership,
whose qualified staff will evaluate the
overall electrical consumption.

IMPORTANT After the battery is
disconnected, the steering must be
initialised. The
warning light on the
instrument panel (or symbol on the
display) switches on to indicate this. To
carry out this procedure, simply turn
the steering wheel all the way from one
end to the other or drive in a straight
line for about a hundred metres.IMPORTANT If the charge level remains
under 50% for a long time, the battery
is damaged by sulphation, reducing
its capacity and efficiency at start-up.
The battery is also more prone to the
risk of freezing (at temperatures of
-10°C). Refer to the "Vehicle inactivity"
paragraph in "Starting and driving"
chapter if the vehicle is left parked for a
long time.
WARNING
156)Never smoke when performing
operations in the engine compartment.
Flammable gases and fumes may be
present and risk igniting.
157)Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine
is hot: you may get burned.
158)If the engine oil is being topped up,
wait for the engine to cool down before
loosening the filler plug, particularly for
vehicles with aluminium plug (where
provided). CAUTION: risk of burns!
159)The cooling system is pressurised. If
the cap needs replacing, do so with
another original or the effectiveness of the
system may be compromised. Do not
remove the cap from the reservoir when
the engine is hot: danger of scalding.

WINDSCREEN/REAR
WINDOW WIPERReplacing the windscreen wiper
bladesProceed as follows:
❒raise the wiper arm, press button A
fig. 143 of the attachment spring and
remove the blade from the arm;
❒fit the new blade, inserting the tab in
the dedicated housing in the arm and
checking that it is locked;
❒lower the wiper arm on the
windscreen.
IMPORTANT Do not operate the
windscreen wiper with the blades lifted
from the windscreen.
Replacing the rear window wiper
bladeProceed as follows:
❒widen the two tabs as shown by the
arrows and rotate cover A fig. 144
outwards;
❒undo nut B and remove arm C from
the central pin;
❒correctly align the new arm;
❒fully tighten nut B and then refit cover
A.
IMPORTANT Do not operate the rear
window wiper with the blade lifted from
the rear window.Windscreen washerThe window washer nozzles are fixed. If
there is no jet of fluid, firstly check that
there is fluid in the reservoir (see
paragraph “Engine compartment” in
this chapter). Only use the prescribed
fluid; do not use only water.Then check that the nozzle holes are
not clogged; use a needle to unblock
them if necessary.
IMPORTANT In versions with sun roof,
make sure that the roof is closed before
operating the windscreen washer
nozzles.
Rear window washerThe rear window washer nozzle is fixed.
The jet nozzle is located at the side of
the third brake light.EXHAUST SYSTEM
168) 169)71)
Adequate maintenance of the engine
exhaust system represents the best
protection against leaks of carbon
monoxide into the passenger
compartment.AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
72)
Use only a gearbox fluid with the same
characteristics as those indicated in
the "Fluids and lubricants" table (see
"Technical specifications" chapter).

In addition, the data can be saved on
an USB device or through theApp
Uconnect™LIVE; the data analysis
can be made on your personal
computer thanks to theeco:Drive™
desktop application, available on
www.fiat.it or www.DriveUconnect.eu.
Evaluation of the driving style is
dependent on four indices that monitor
the following parameters:
❒Acceleration
❒Deceleration
❒Gearbox
❒SpeedDisplay of the
eco:Drive™Press theeco:Drive™button to use
the function
A screen will be displayed on the radio,
showing the 4 indices described above.
These indices are grey until the system
has enough data to evaluate the driving
style.
Once sufficient data is available, the
indices will have 5 colours depending
on the evaluation: dark green (very
good), light green, yellow, orange and
red (very bad).
"Current route index" refers to the entire
value calculated in real time based on
the average of the described indices. It
represents eco-friendliness of the
driving style: from 0 (low) to 100 (high).In the event of extended inactivity the
display will show the average of the
indices until that moment (the "Average
index"), then the indices will be
coloured again in real time as soon as
the vehicle is restarted.
To check the data average of previous
route (the "route" starts when the
ignition key is turned to MAR and stops
when it is turned to STOP), select the
"Previous route" button.
The details of the previous trip can also
be displayed by pressing the "Details"
button, in which journey duration (time
and mileage) and average speed will be
reported.
Trip data storage and
transferThe trip data can be stored in the
system memory and transferred
through a properly configured USB
memory stick or theApp Uconnect™
LIVE. This allows you to display the
history of the collected data, showing
the complete analysis of the trip data
and of your driving style.
Further information is available at
www.DriveUconnect.eu.IMPORTANT Do not remove the USB
memory stick nor unpair the
smartphone and theApp Uconnect™
LIVEbefore the system has
downloaded the data, since these
could be lost. During the transfer of
data to the devices, messages may
appear on the radio display to guide the
user correctly through the operation;
follow these instructions. These
messages are only displayed with the
ignition key at STOP and when a delay
in the system switching off is set. The
data are automatically transferred to the
devices when the engine is switched
off. The data transferred are deleted
from the system memory. You can
choose to store the trip data or not, by
pressing the "Settings" button and by
setting the storage activation and
the USB or Cloud transfer mode.
When the USB memory stick is full, the
dedicated messages are shown on
the radio display.
When theeco:Drive™data are not
transferred to the USB memory stick for
a long time, the internal memory of the
Uconnect™LIVEsystem may be
full. Follow the instructions given by the
messages on the radio display.
