Dear Customer,
We would like to congratulate and thank you for choosing a Fiat 500L.
We have written this handbook to help you get to know all the features of your car 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 500L.
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 transmission; at the same time, you can understand the car behaviour on different road
surfaces.
This document contains specifications, special procedures and essential information for caring for and maintaining your Fiat 500L over
time, driving it safely and running it correctly.
After reading it, you are advised to keep the handbook inside the car, for an easy reference and for making sure it remains on board
the car 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 car and the service provided by the people at Fiat.
Enjoy reading. Happy motoring!

REPAIR PROCEDURE
Proceed as follows:
stop the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic where
you can change the wheel safely. The
car must be stopped in a lay-by,
car-park or parking or service area, and
the ground must be as level as possible
and sufficiently compact;
switch off the engine, pull up the
handbrake and engage the 1stgear or
reverse. Make sure that any passengers
get out of the car and go to a safe
place where they will not obstruct traffic
or be exposed to the risk of injury.
Wear the reflective safety jacket
(compulsory by law) before getting out
of the car;
Insert the cartridge A fig. 130
containing the sealant in the proper
compartment of the compressor B,
pressing it down hard. Remove the
adhesive speed label C and apply it in a
visible position;
wear the gloves;
remove the cap from the tyre valve
and connect and firmly tighten the
transparent tube of the sealing fluid D
fig. 130. If a 250 ml cartridge is present
the housing of the transparent tube is
provided with removable ring to
facilitate extraction. Make sure that the
ON-OFF button F fig. 132 is in the off
position (button not pressed);
insert the electrical connector E fig.
131 in the 12 V current socket of the
car and start the engine;
operate the compressor by pressing
the ON-OFF button F fig. 132. When
the pressure shown in the "Wheels"
paragraph in the “Technical data”
chapter or on the specific label appears
on the pressure gauge G, stop the
compressor by pressing the ON-OFF
button again;
disconnect the cartridge A fig. 133
from the compressor, by pressing
the release button H and lifting the

WHEELS
167) 168)
RIMS AND TYRES
PROVIDED
Pressed steel or alloy rims. Tubeless
radial carcass tyres. All approved tyres
are listed in the registration document.
IMPORTANT If there are any
discrepancies between the Owner
Handbook and the registration
certificate, take the information from the
latter. For safe driving, the car must be
fitted with tyres of the same make
and type on all wheels.
IMPORTANT Do not use air chambers
with tubeless tyres.
SNOW CHAINS
Important notes
83)
NOTE Reduced-width snow chains
with a maximum projection of 9 mm
beyond the tyre profile can be fitted on
195/65 R15 91H and 205/55 R16
91H tyres. 225/45 R17 91V tyres
cannot be fitted with snow chains.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.
Snow chains can be fitted to the tyres
of the front wheels (drive wheels) only.
Check the tension of the snow chains
after the first few metres have been
driven.
Using snow chains with tyres with
non-original dimensions may damage
the vehicle.
Using different size or type (M+S, snow,
etc.) tyres between front and rear axle
may adversely affect car handling,
with the risk of losing control of the car
and resulting accidents.
Snow chains cannot be fitted to the
space-saver wheel (for versions/
markets, where provided). If a front tyre
is punctured, replace a rear wheel
with the space-saver wheel and move
the rear wheel to the front axle. In
this way, with two normal drive wheels
at the front, snow chains can be fitted.
