2018 FIAT 500L spare wheel

When the power steering is on, the
steering wheel effort is lighter, making
parking easier: therefore, this function is
particularly useful for driving in city
centres.
WARNING
32)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g. installation of anti-theft
device) that could adversely affect
performance and safety, invalidate the
warranty and also result in the car not
meeting type-approval requirements.
33)Before performing any maintenance
operations, always turn off the engine and
remove the key from the ignition to lock the
steering column (especially when the car
wheels are not touching the ground). If this
is not possible (for example if the key
needs to be turned to MAR or the engine
must be running), remove the main fuse
that protects the electric power steering.

The "Reset" procedure must be carried
out:
each time 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”
procedure, inflate the tyres to the rated
pressure values specified in the inflation
pressure table (see "Wheels" paragraph
in the "Technical specifications"
chapter).
If the “Reset” procedure 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 car stopped and the ignition
device at MAR, use the Setup Menu on
the display as follows:
go to "Vehicle info" and then to
"Reset tyres";
hold the "OK" button the steering
wheel pressed (see figure) more longer
than 2 seconds;
the display will show the procedure
progress until the "Reset" is completed.At the end of the “Reset” procedure the
display will show the dedicated
message, indicating that the self-
learning has been started. If the
self-learning procedure of the iTPMS
system has was not performed
correctly on the display, no message
will be shown.
Operating conditions
The system is active for speeds above
15 km/h.
In a few situations such as sporty
driving, particular conditions of the road
surface (e.g. ice, snow, unsurfaced
roads) the warning may be delayed or
partial in detecting the contemporary
deflation of more than one tyre.Under special conditions (e.g. car
loaded asymmetrically on one side,
towing a trailer, damaged or worn tyre,
fitting the space-saver wheel, use of the
"Fix&Go Automatic" kit, fitting snow
chains, fitting different tyres on the
axles) the system may give false
indications or be temporarily
deactivated.
If the system is temporarily deactivated
the
warning light flashes for about
75 seconds and then is continuously
on; at the same time, the display shows
a dedicated message and the symbols
"– –" will appear next to the shape of
the car next to each tyre.
This warning is displayed also after the
engine has been switched off and
then on again if the correct operating
conditions are not restored.
In the case of abnormal signals, it is
recommended to perform the “Reset”
procedure. If the indications appear
again after a successful “Reset”, check
that the tyres used on all four wheels
are the same and that the tyres are not
damaged. As soon as possible, refit
the standard tyre instead of the
space-saver spare, remove the snow
chains (if possible), check correct
load distribution and repeat the “Reset”
procedure by driving on a clean,
tarmacked road. If the indications
persist, contact a Fiat Dealership.68F0Y0659C

SAFETY

500L WAGON versions: lift up the
tab A fig. 121 of the luggage
compartment mat, take the wrench B
from the tool bag and fit it onto the
device C. Turn the wrench B
anticlockwise to unscrew the
space-saver spare wheel fixing bolt so
that it can be lowered, and use the
wrench to drag the wheel out of the
car;
500L WAGON versions: turn the
device D fig. 122 and release the
space-saver spare wheel from its fixing
support E;
take the spanner A fig. 123 and
loosen the fixing stud bolts by about
one turn. For versions with alloy rims,
shake the car to facilitate detachment
of the rim from the wheel hub;
take the chock from the tool bag
and open it out (see fig. 124);
position the chock behind the wheel
diagonally opposite the one to be
replaced to prevent the car from
moving when it is raised, then fit the
jack underneath the car, next to the
wheel to be replaced;
insert the wrench A fig. 125 to
extend the jack until the top of the jack
B fits correctly into the sidemember
C (next to the mark
on the
sidemember itself);

IN AN EMERGENCY

If you are on a slope or uneven surface,
place the wedge provided under the wheel
(see the instructions on the next pages).
124)The vehicle's driving characteristics
will be 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 of 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.
125)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: we advise
you to contact a Fiat Dealership. Never go
under the raised vehicle: use it only in
the positions indicated. Do not use the jack
for loads higher than the one shown on
its label. Never start the engine with car
raised. If the vehicle is raised more than
necessary, everything can become more
unstable, with the risk of the vehicle
dropping violently. Thus, lift the car only as
needed in order to access the space-saver
spare wheel.126)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. In this way, with two normal drive
wheels at the front axle, it is possible to use
snow chains.
127)When turning the jack handle make
sure that it can turn freely without scraping
your hand against the ground. The moving
components of the jack ("worm screw"
and joints) can also cause injuries: do not
touch them. If you come into contact
with lubricating grease, clean yourself
thoroughly.
128)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.
129)At the end of the operation of
raising/locking the space-saver wheel
device, the spanner must be extracted,
taking care NOT to turn it in the wrong
direction to facilitate the extraction of the
spanner itself, so as to prevent the
attachment device from being released and
the lack of safe restraint.
WARNING
62)Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible to have the correct tightening
of the wheel stud bolts checked.
