Dear Customer,
We would like to congratulate and thank you for choosing a Fiat.
We have written this handbook to help you get to know all the features of your vehicle and use it in the best possible way.
Here you will find information, advice and important warnings regarding use of your vehicle and how to achieve the best
performance from the technical features of your Fiat 500X.
You are advised to read it right through before taking to the road for the first time, to become familiar with the controls and
above all with those concerning brakes, steering and gearbox; at the same time, you can understand the vehicle behaviour on
different road surfaces.
This document also provides a description of special features and tips, as well as essential information for the safe driving, care
and maintenance of your Fiat 500X over time.
After reading it, you are advised to keep the handbook inside the vehicle, for an easy reference and for making sure it remains
on board the vehicle should it be sold.
In the attached Warranty Booklet you will also find a description of the Services that Fiat offers to its customers, the Warranty
Certificate and the detail of the terms and conditions for maintaining its validity.
We are sure that these will help you to get in touch with and appreciate your new vehicle and the service provided by the
people at Fiat.
Enjoy reading. Happy motoring!
This Owner Handbook describes all Fiat 500X versions. Options, equipment dedicated to specific markets or
versions are not explicitly indicated in the text: as a consequence, you should only consider the information which
is related to the trim level, engine and version that you have purchased. Any content introduced throughout the
production of the model, outside the specific request of options at the time of purchase, will be identified with the
wording(where provided).
All data contained in this publication are intended to help you use your vehicle in the best possible way. FCA Italy
S.p.A. aims at a constant improvement of the vehicles produced. For this reason it reserves the right to make
changes to the model described for technical and/or commercial reasons.
For further information, contact a Fiat Dealership.

Warning light What it means
iTPMS
iTPMS failure
The warning light switches on when a failure is detected in the iTPMS. Should one or more wheels be
fitted without sensors, the display will show a warning message until initial conditions are restored.
IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or more flat tyres as handling may be compromised. Stop
the car, avoiding sharp braking and steering. Repair immediately using the dedicated tyre repair kit (see
the “Fix&Go Automatic kit” paragraph in the "In an emergency" chapter) and contact a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible.
Low tyre pressure
The warning light switches on and a message is displayed to indicate that the tyre pressure is lower than
the recommended value and/or that slow pressure loss is occurring. In these cases, optimal tyre duration
and fuel consumption may not be guaranteed.
In any situation in which the dedicated message is shown on the display, it is ESSENTIAL to refer to the
contents of the "Wheels" paragraph in the "Technical data" chapter, strictly complying with the indications
that you find there.
Once the normal operating conditions of the car are restored, carry out the "Reset" procedure.
IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or more flat tyres as the car handling may be
compromised. Stop the car, avoiding sharp braking and steering.
ABS FAILURE
The warning light switches on to indicate an ABS fault. In this case the braking system maintains its
efficiency unaltered but without the advantage of the ABS system. Drive carefully and contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

a compressor D complete with
pressure gauge and connectors;
an instruction leaflet, to refer to for
prompt and correct use and that must
be then given to the personnel dealing
with the tyre treated with sealant;
a pair of gloves located in the side
compartment of the compressor;
some adaptors, for inflating different
elements.
IMPORTANT The sealing fluid is
effective with external temperatures of
between –20°C and +50°C. The sealing
fluid has an expiry date.
TYRE REPAIRING AND
PRESSURE RESTORING
PROCEDURE
Proceed as follows:
place the car in a safe and suitable
area, engaging the parking brake. Take
the kit from the specific compartment.Remove the speed limit sticker and
apply it in a clearly visible position. Wear
the protective gloves provided. Remove
the valve cap of the punctured tyre and
connect and firmly tighten the
transparent tube of the sealant
Afig. 138 and tighten nut B on the tyre
valve;
ensure that the ON-OFF button A
fig. 139 is in the0(off) position. Ifprovided, open the compressor cover,
insert the electrical connector in the
car’s 12V socket and start the car
engine;
activate the compressor moving
"ON-OFF" button toI(ON) position.
When the pressure gauge B
fig. 139 shows the required pressure for
the car (see “Wheels” paragraph in the
“Technical data” chapter), switch off the
compressor moving "ON-OFF" button
to0(off) position. If after 5 minutes from
starting the compressor, the pressure
gauge indicates a pressure lower than
1.8 bar / 26 psi, switch off the
compressor, disconnect the sealant
tube from the tyre valve, re-screw the
valve cap and move the car about
10 meters to allow the sealing fluid to
distribute in the tyre. Stop the car safely
and repeat the operation above until the
required pressure is reached. If after
other 5 min. after running the
compressor the pressure gauge still
indicates a pressure lower than 1.8 bar
/ 26 psi, the TYRE IS TOO DAMAGED
AND CANNOT BE REPAIRED. Remove
and place the kit in the specific
compartment and contact a Fiat
Dealership;
if the required pressure is reached,
restart driving. Do not exceed 80 km/h.
Avoid sudden acceleration or braking.
After driving for about 8 km (or

IN AN EMERGENCY

86)Vehicles equipped with catalytic
converter must be fuelled only with
unleaded petrol. Leaded petrol would
permanently damage the catalytic
converter and eliminate its ability to reduce
polluting emissions, seriously
compromising the engine performance,
which would be irreparably damaged. If the
engine does not work correctly, especially if
it starts irregularly or if there is a reduction
of its performance, immediately go to a Fiat
Dealership. Prolonged and faulty operation
of the engine may cause overheating of the
converter and, as a consequence, possible
damage to the converter and the vehicle.
87)Using a gearbox fluid different from that
approved may compromise gearshifting
quality and/or cause vibration of the
gearbox itself.LIFTING THE
VEHICLE
If the vehicle needs to be jacked up, go
to a Fiat Dealership, which is equipped
with shop jacks and jack arms.
The vehicle lifting points are marked on
the side skirts with the
symbols (see
illustration in fig. 164 ).

RIMS AND TYRES
For the type of wheel rims and tyres
fitted on the vehicle see the "Wheels"
paragraph in the "Technical data"
chapter.
SNOW CHAINS
88)
Front Wheel Drive and All Wheel
Drive versions
7-mm snow chains can be used on
215/60 R16 95H and 215/55 R17 94V
tyres.
225/45 R18 91V and 225/45 R18 91Y
tyres cannot be fitted with snow chains.
Important
The use of snow chains should be in
compliance with local regulations of
each country. In certain countries, tyres
marked with code M+S (Mud and
Snow) are considered as winter
equipment; therefore their use is
equivalent to that of the snow chains.
The snow chains may be applied only
to the front wheel tyres.
