2018 FIAT 500 rims

SAFETY
118
Side bag
(for versions/markets, where
applicable)
These comprise two instantly inflating
bags located in the front seat
backrests, fig. 83, which protect the
pelvis, chest and shoulder area of the
occupants in the event of a side impact
of medium/high severity.
Window bag
(for versions/markets, where
applicable)
This consists of two "curtain" bags
housed behind the roof side trim fig. 84
and covered with trims. Thanks to a
wide bag deployment area, they
protect the heads of the front and,
depending on the market, where
provided, rear occupants in the event
of a side impact.
83DVDF0S055c
Important notes
In the event of a side impact, the system
provides best protection if the passenger
sits on the seat in a correct position, thus
allowing correct window bag
deployment.
The front airbags and/or side bags may
be deployed if the car is subject to heavy
knocks or accidents involving the
underbody area, such as for example
violent shocks against steps, pavements
or low obstacles, the car falling in big
holes or dips in the road.
84DVDF0S0218c
A small amount of dust will be released
when the airbags are deployed. The dust
is not harmful and does not indicate the
beginning of a fire. Furthermore, the
surface of the deployed bag and the
interior of the car may be covered in a
dusty residue: this may irritate skin and
eyes. Wash with mild soap and water in
the event of exposure.
Should an accident occur in which any of
the safety devices are activated, take the
vehicle to a Fiat Dealership to have the
activated devices replaced and to have
the whole system checked.
Every control, repair and replacement
operation concerning the airbags must
be carried out only by a Fiat Dealership.
If the car is scrapped, have the system
deactivated at a Fiat Dealership.
Pretensioners, front airbags and side
bags are deployed according to different
logics on the basis of the type of collision.
Failure to activate one or more of the
devices does not indicate a system
malfunction.

32) CHANGING A WHEEL
•The space-saver wheel (for versions/markets, where
provided) is specific to your car, do not use it on other models,
or use the space-saver wheel of other models on your car.
The space-saver wheel must only be used in an emergency.
Never use it for more than strictly necessary and never exceed
80 km/h.
•On the space-saver wheel there is an orange label,
summarising the main warnings regarding space-saver wheel
usage restrictions. Never remove or cover the label. The label
contains the following indications in four languages: “Warning!
For temporary use only! 80 km/h max! Replace with standard
wheel as soon as possible. Never cover this indication.” Never
apply a wheel cap on a space-saver wheel.
•If you change the type of wheel (alloy rims instead of
steel rims and vice versa) you will have to change the entire set
of fastening bolts with another set of suitably sized bolts.
•Alert other drivers that the car is stationary in compliance
with local regulations: hazard warning lights, warning triangle,
etc. Any passengers on board should leave the car, especially
if it is heavily laden. Passengers should stay away from on-
coming traffic while the wheel is being changed. On hills or
uneven roads, use chocks or appropriate objects to block the
wheels of the vehicle.
•The driving features of the car may change when a space-
saver wheel is fitted. Avoid violent acceleration and braking,
abrupt steering and fast cornering.
The total life of a space-saver wheel is approximately 3,000
km, after which it must be replaced by another wheel of the
same type. Never install a traditional tyre on a rim designed to
be used as a space-saver wheel.
PERSONAL SAFETY
(CONTINUED)
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 apply grease to the bolt threads before fitting: they could
come unscrewed.
•Snow chains cannot be fitted to the space-saver wheel.
So, if a front (drive) wheel is punctured and chains are needed,
a rear wheel should be fitted to the front of the car and the
space-saver wheel should be fitted to the rear. In this way,
equipped with two normal drive wheels at the front, they can be
fitted with snow chains, thus resolving the emergency situation.
•If the hub cap is not fitted correctly, it may come off when the
car is travelling.
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.
•The jack is a tool developed and designed only for changing a
wheel, if a tyre gets punctured or damaged, on the vehicle with
which it is supplied or on other vehicles of the same model.
Any other use, e.g. to jack up other vehicle models or different
things, is strictly prohibited. Never use it to carry out
maintenance or repairs under the vehicle or to change
summer/winter wheels and vice versa.
Never go under the raised vehicle. If any work under the vehicle
is necessary, contact the Fiat Service Network. Incorrect
placing of the jack can cause the vehicle to drop: use it only in
the positions indicated.

PERSONAL SAFETY
(CONTINUED)
42) INTERIORS
•Never use flammable products, such as petrol ether or rectified
petrol to clean the inside of the car. The electrostatic charges which
are generated by rubbing during the cleaning operation may cause
a fire.
•Do not keep aerosol cans in the vehicle: they might explode.
Aerosol cans must not be exposed to a temperature exceeding
50°C. When the vehicle is exposed to sunlight, the internal
temperature can greatly exceed this value.
43) TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS – FUEL SUPPLY
Modifications or repairs to the supply system that are not carried
out correctly or do not take the system technical specifications
into account can cause malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
44) TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS – RIM PROTECTOR
TYRES
DO NOT fit wheel hub caps when using integral hub caps fixed
(with springs) to the steel rim and after sale tyres provided with
Rim Protector. Use of unsuitable tyres and wheel caps may cause
sudden decrease of tyre pressure.
45) LPG
•Note that in some countries (including Italy) there are legal
restrictions in force for parking/garaging motor vehicles fuelled by
gas that is denser than air; LPG comes under this category.
•Do not switch between the two operating modes (petrol/LPG)
whilst starting the engine.
•The LPG supply system is equipped with a “consumption”
function linked to the LED display of LPG level on the switch; this
function activates only after a consistent variation in fuel level has
been detected. •Running the battery with an excessively low liquid level will
damage the battery beyond repair and could even cause its
explosion.
•If the vehicle must remain unused for a long time at a very low
temperature, remove the battery and take it to a warm place, to
avoid freezing.
•When performing any operation on the battery or near it,
always protect your eyes with special goggles.
40) TYRES AND WHEELS
•Remember that the road holding qualities of your car also
depend on correct tyre pressures.
•If tyre pressure is too low, the tyre may overheat and be
severely damaged as a result.
•Do not switch tyres from the right hand side of the vehicle to the
left hand side, and vice versa.
•Never submit alloy rims to repainting treatments requiring the
use of temperatures exceeding 150°C.
The mechanical properties of the wheels could be impaired.
41) WINDSCREEN AND –REAR WINDOW WIPER
•Driving with worn windscreen/rear window wiper blades is a
serious hazard, because visibility is reduced in bad weather.
•If the window needs to be cleaned, make sure the device is
deactivated or the key is on STOP.
