2016 Abarth 500 reset

According to the temperature set by the
user, the automatic climate control
system fig. 26 automatically adjusts:
❒the temperature of the air sent into
the passenger compartment;
❒the speed of the fan (continuous
variation of the air flow rate);
❒the distribution of the air in the
passenger compartment;
❒compressor engagement/
disengagement (for cooling/
dehumidifying the air);
❒interior air recirculation on/off.
All the above functions can be changed
manually by selecting the required
function(s).
Manual setting of a function does not
impair the automatic control of the
other functions even if the AUTO button
LED is off.AUTO button (automatic
climate control function
on)
When the AUTO button is pressed and
the required temperature is set, the
system adjusts air temperature,
quantity and distribution into the
passenger compartment and controls
the compressor operation.
Button
(climate
control system
compressor on/off)
Pressing the button, with LED on, the
compressor and the LED switch off.
When the compressor is off:
❒the system will deactivate air
recirculation to prevent the windows
from misting up;
❒it is not possible to convey air to the
passenger compartment with a
temperature below the outside
temperature (the displayed
temperature value will flash when the
system cannot guarantee the
required comfort conditions);
❒the fan speed can be manually reset
(with compressor enabled, ventilation
cannot go below a bar shown on
the display).OFF button (climate
control system off)
Pressing the OFF button the climate
control system is turned off.
With climate control system off:
❒all LEDs are off;
❒set temperature display is off;
❒air recirculation is off;
❒the compressor is off;
❒the fan is off.
In this condition, air recirculation can be
turned on or off without activating the
climate control system.
Button
(internal air
recirculation on/off)
It is advisable to switch the internal air
recirculation on whilst queuing or in
tunnels to prevent the introduction of
polluted air.
LED on button ON = recirculation ON.
LED on button OFF = recirculation OFF.
At low temperatures or if the
compressor is off, the recirculation is
forced to off to avoid misting.
IMPORTANT It is inadvisable to use air
recirculation when the outside
temperature is low, since the windows
could mist rapidly.

Low tyre pressure
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by switching on
the
warning light on the instrument
panel.
The display will also show the following
information:
❒one or morethan one tyre flat: the
display will show “KO” beside the tyres
fig. 62 along with a warning message.
If the system does not recognise the
pressure value of one or more tyres, the
display will show dashes "– –"
This indication is displayed also when
turning the engine off and on again until
the RESET procedure is carried out.
RESET PROCEDURE
The iTPMS needs an initial "self-
learning" phase (with length depending
on the driving style and road conditions:
optimal conditions being driving on a
straight road at 80 km/h for at least 20
minutes) which starts when the Reset
procedure is carried out.The Reset procedure must be carried
out:
❒whenever the tyre pressure is
modified;
❒when even only one tyre is changed;
❒when tyres are rotated/inverted;
❒when the space-saver wheel is fitted.
Before carrying out the RESET
pressure values specified in the inflation
pressure table (see "Wheels" paragraph
in the "Technical specifications"
chapter).
If the RESET is not carried out, in all
above cases, the
warning light may
give false indications on one or more
tyres.
To carry out the RESET procedure, with
the vehicle stopped and the ignition
key at MAR, use the setup menu (see
the description of the "Menu items"
paragraph).
At the end of the Reset procedure the
display will show the "Reset saved"
message, indicating that the self-
learning has been started.

INSTRUMENT PANEL
LIGHTING ADJUSTMENT
(Brightness sensor)
Versions with colour display are
equipped with a brightness sensor
(fitted inside the instrument panel)
capable of detecting ambient
light conditions and adjusting the
brightness of the instrument panel
accordingly.
The behaviour of the instrument is as
follow:
❒"daytime" mode: the display can be
set to 8 levels;
❒"nighttime" mode: the display can be
set to 8 levels. The brightness of the
radio and automatic dual zone
climate control display is also
adjusted.
For adjusting, see paragraph "Menu
items" in this chapter.TRIP COMPUTER
IN BRIEF
The Trip Computer can be used to
display information on car operation
when the key is turned to MAR-ON.
This function is characterised by
two separate memories, called "Trip
A" and "Trip B", where the car's
"complete missions" (journeys) are
recorded in a reciprocally
independent manner, as well as, for
versions where provided, "Instant
info" and "Best average
consumption".
Both memories can be reset: i.e. start
of a new journey.
"Trip A" can be used to display the
values relating to:
❒Range (for versions/markets, where
provided)
❒Distance travelled A
❒Average consumption A
❒Instant consumption (for versions/
markets, where provided)
❒Average speed A
❒Trip time A (driving time)❒Reset Trip A.
"Trip B" can be used to display the
values relating to:
❒Distance travelled B
❒Average consumption B
❒Average speed B
❒Trip time B (driving time)
❒Reset Trip B.
The "Trip B" function may be disabled
(see "Activating Trip B"). "Range" and
"Instant consumption" values cannot be
reset.
"Instant info" displays the following
values (when they are not displayed in
the main screen, depending on
versions/markets):
❒Range
❒Instant consumption
"Best average consumption" displays a
screen summarising the best average
consumption (for versions/markets,
where provided). This information can
be reset.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

VALUES DISPLAYED
Range (for versions/markets, where
provided)
This indicates the distance that can still
be travelled with the fuel in the tank,
assuming that driving style remains
unvaried. The display will show the
reading "----"when the following
events take place:
❒range value lower than 50 km (or 30
mi)
❒car parked with engine running for a
long period.
IMPORTANT The range can be affected
by several factors: driving style (see
"Driving style" paragraph in the
"Starting and driving" chapter), type of
route (motorway, towns and cities,
mountain roads, etc.), conditions of use
(load, tyre pressure, etc.). Trip planning
must therefore take the above into
account.
Distance travelled
This value shows the distance covered
from the start of the new journey.Average consumption
This value shows the approximate
average fuel consumption from the start
of the new journey.
Instant consumption (for versions/
markets, where provided)
This value shows the fuel consumption.
The value is constantly updated. The
display will show "----"ifthecar
is parked with the engine running.
Average speed
This value shows the car's average
speed based on the overall time
elapsed since the start of the new
journey.
Trip time
Time elapsed since the start of the new
journey.TRIP BUTTON
The TRIP button is located on the
right-hand stalk fig. 74. With the ignition
key turned to MAR-ON, this button
allows you to view the previously
described values and also zero them to
begin a new mission:
❒brief pressto access the various
value displays;
❒long pressto reset and then start a
