2017 FIAT 500L LIVING refuelling

In addition to the electrical branches,
the car's electrical system can be
connected only to the supply cable for
an electric brake and to the cable for an
internal trailer light, though not more
than 15 W. To connect, use the preset
control unit with a battery cable with
cross-section no less than 2.5 mm
2.
IMPORTANT The use of auxiliary loads
other than external lights (electric brake,
winch, etc.) must occur with engine
running.
IMPORTANT To install a tow hook
contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
112)The ABS with which the vehicle is
equipped will not control the braking
system of the trailer. Take particular care
when travelling on slippery roads.
113)Never modify the braking system of
the vehicle to control the trailer brake. The
trailer braking system must be fully
independent of the vehicle’s hydraulic
system.
114)After fitting, fixing screw holes must
be sealed to prevent an exhaust gas inlet.

STARTING AND DRIVING

WARNING
61)The vehicle must only be filled with
diesel fuel for motor vehicles, in
compliance with European Standard EN
590. The use of other products or mixtures
may damage the engine beyond repair
and consequently invalidate the warranty,
due to the damage caused. If you
accidentally refuel with another type of fuel,
do not start the engine, and drain the
tank. If the engine has run, even for a very
short time, you will need to have the entire
fuel supply system emptied in addition to
the tank.
62)The plates (provided with the vehicle
documents) show the date when the
first cylinder inspection/test is due.
Methane refuelling station operators are
not authorised to refill the cylinders when
the inspection date has expired.
107
WARNING
115)Do not apply any object/plug to the
end of the filler which is not provided
for the vehicle. Using non-approved
objects/plugs may cause pressure
increase in the tank, leading to dangerous
conditions.
116)Do not get close to the filler of the
tank with naked flames or lit cigarettes: risk
of fire. Do not get too close to the filler
with your face, in order not to inhale
harmful vapours.
117)Do not use a mobile phone near the
fuel pump: risk of fire.

120)Vehicle handling is modified with the
space-saver wheel fitted. Avoid violent
acceleration and braking, abrupt steering
and fast cornering. The overall duration
of the space-saver wheel is about 3000
km, after which the relevant tyre must be
replaced with another one of the same
type. Never install a standard tyre on a rim
that is designed for use with a space-saver
wheel. Have the wheel repaired and refitted
as soon as possible. Using two or more
space-saver wheels at the same time
is forbidden. Do not grease the threads of
the stud bolts before fitting them: they
might slip out when driving.
121)The jack shall only be used for raising
the car model it has been supplied with.
Never use the jack for other purposes,
such as raising other car models. Never
use the jack for repair operations under the
vehicle. Incorrect positioning of the jack
may cause the vehicle to fall. Do not use
the jack for loads higher than the one
shown on its label. The space-saver wheel
cannot be fitted with snow chains. If a
front (drive) tyre is punctured and chains
are needed, use a standard wheel from the
rear axle and install the space-saver wheel
on the rear axle. This way, with two
standard front driving wheels, you can
install the snow chains on them.
122)Incorrect hub cap assembly may
cause it to come off when the vehicle is
moving. Never tamper with the inflation
valve. Never introduce tools of any kind
between rim and tyre. Check tyre and
space-saver wheel pressures regularly,
complying with the values given in the
"Technical specifications" chapter.123)At the end of the operation of
raising/locking the spare wheel, the ignition
key must be extracted, taking care not to
turn it in the wrong direction to facilitate the
extraction of the key itself, to prevent the
attachment device from being released and
the wheel assembly not being securely
retained.
WARNING
63)Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible to have the correct tightening
of the wheel stud bolts checked.
