2018 FIAT 500X fuel consumption

DISPLAY
DESCRIPTION
The vehicle is equipped with a display
that can show useful information to the
driver while driving.
The display fig. 57 will show the
following information:
A: time, Gear Shift Indicator (where
provided), gear engagement (versions
with automatic transmission only),
outside temperature, compass
indications (where provided), date.
B: vehicle speed, warning
messages/any failure indications.
C: total kilometres (or miles) run and
icons of any failure indications.
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
(where provided)
The Gear Shift Indicator (GSI) system
advises the driver when to change gear
through a special indication on the
display
Through the GSI, the driver is informed
that the gear change will allow a
reduction in fuel consumption to be
obtained.
When the SHIFT UP icon (
SHIFT) is
shown on the display, the GSI is
advising the driver to engage a higher
gear, while the SHIFT DOWN (
SHIFT) icon advises the driver to
engage a lower gear.
The indication in the display remains
until a gear is shifted or the driving
conditions go back to a situation where
gearshifting is not required to improve
consumption.
CONTROL BUTTONS
These are located on the left side of the
steering wheel fig. 58.
They allow the driver to select and
interact with the items in the Main menu
of the display (see paragraph "Main
menu").

TRIP COMPUTER
The "Trip computer" is used to display
information on vehicle operation when
the ignition device is at MAR.
This function is characterised by two
separate memories, called "Trip A" and
"Trip B", where the vehicle's "complete
missions" (journeys) are recorded in a
reciprocally independent manner.
“Trip A” and “Trip B” are used to display
the values relating to:
Distance travelled
Average fuel consumption
Average speed
Trip time (driving time)
On LPG versions, the “Range”,
“Average consumption” and
“Instantaneous consumption” values
are available for both petrol and LPG. To reset the values, press and hold
down the
OKfig. 59 button on the
steering wheel.
NOTE "Range" and "Instant
consumption" values cannot be reset.

Warning lightWhat it means
yellowiTPMS
iTPMS failure
When an iTPMS system failure is detected, the light flashes for 75 seconds, then stays on and a warning
message appears. This also happens if there are one or more wheels without sensors, until initial
conditions are restored.
IMPORTANT Do not continue driving with one or more flat tyres as handling may be compromised. Stop
the vehicle, 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.
Tyre pressure low
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.
WARNING Do not continue driving with one or more flat tyres as the car handling may be compromised.
Stop the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and steering.
yellow
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.

WARNING
60)The system is an aid for vehicle driving,
it DOES NOT warn the driver about
incoming vehicles outside of the detection
areas. The driver must always maintain a
sufficient level of attention to the traffic and
road conditions and for controlling the
trajectory of the vehicle.
61) The system is an aid for the driver, who
must always pay full attention while driving.
The responsibility always rests with the
driver, who must take into account the
traffic conditions in order to drive in
complete safety. The driver must always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in
front.
62) If the driver depresses the brake pedal
fully or carries out a fast steering during
system operation, the automatic braking
function may stop (e.g. to allow a possible
manoeuvre to avoid the obstacle).
63) The system intervenes on vehicles
travelling in the same lane. People, animals
and things (e.g. pushchairs) are not taken
into consideration.
64) If the car must be placed on a roller
bench for maintenance interventions or if it
is washed in an automatic roller washing
tunnel with an obstacle in the front part
(e.g. another car, a wall or another
obstacle), the system may detect its
presence and activate. In this case the
system must be deactivated through the
settings of the Uconnect™system.
65) If the iTPMS system signals a pressure
decrease on the tyres, it is recommended
to check the pressure on all four tyres. 66)
The iTPMS does not relieve the driver
from the obligation to check the tyre
pressure every month; it is not even to be
considered a replacing system for
maintenance or a safety system.
67) Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres cold. Should it become necessary for
whatever reason to check pressure with
warm tyres, do not reduce pressure even
though it is higher than the prescribed
value, but repeat the check when tyres are
cold
68) The iTPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre
pressure drops (e.g. if a tyre bursts). In this
case, stop the vehicle, braking with caution
and avoiding abrupt steering.
69) The system only warns that the tyre
pressure is low: it is not able to inflate
them.
70) Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel
consumption, reduces the tread duration
and may affect the capacity to drive safely.
IMPORTANT
32) The system may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such
as: heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow.
33) The section of the bumper before the
sensor must not be covered with
adhesives, auxiliary headlights or any other
object.
34) System intervention might be
unexpected or delayed when other vehicles
transport loads projecting from the side,
above or from the rear, with respect to the
normal size of the vehicle. 35)
Operation can be adversely affected by
any structural change made to the vehicle,
such as a modification to the front
geometry, tyre change, or a heavier load
than the standard load of the vehicle.
36) Incorrect repairs made on the front part
of the vehicle (e.g. bumper, chassis) may
alter the position of the radar sensor, and
adversely affect its operation. Go to a Fiat
Dealership for any operation of this type.
37) Do not tamper with nor carry out any
intervention on the radar sensor or on the
camera on the windscreen. In the event of
a sensor failure, contact a Fiat Dealership.
38) When towing a trailer (with modules
installed after purchasing the vehicle), a
vehicle or during loading manoeuvres on a
vehicle transporter (or in vehicle for
transport), the system must be deactivated
via the Uconnect™system.
39) Do not wash with high-pressure jets in
the bumper lower area: in particular do not
operate on the system's electrical
connector.
40) Be careful in the case of repairs and
new paintings in the area around the
sensor (panel covering the sensor on the
left side of the bumper). In the event of a
frontal impact the sensor may automatically
deactivate and display a warning to indicate
that the sensor needs to be repaired. Even
without a malfunction warning, deactivate
the system operation if you think that the
position of the radar sensor has changed
(e.g. due to low-speed frontal impact as
during parking manoeuvres). In these
cases, go to a Fiat Dealership to have the
radar sensor realigned or replaced.

SAFETY

The acceptance by the system of the
requested driving mode is signalled by
the LED, located besides the symbol,
coming on, and by the corresponding
symbol appearing on the instrument
panel display.
When the engine is started, the system
usually maintains the driving mode that
was active before the engine was
stopped. For versions/markets where
provided, on start-up, the system is set
to the "Auto" mode.
"Auto" MODE
Recommended mode for normal
driving, aimed at comfort and safety in
normal grip and driving conditions. On
4x4 versions, this mode also reduces
fuel consumption, since it automatically
disconnects the transmission from the
rear wheels if the road and driving
conditions allow it, in addition to
changing drive torque distribution
between the front and rear axles.
Activation
Starting from the active "Traction/All
Weather" mode, turn the ring nut
anticlockwise, keeping it in this position
for at least half a second, and in any
case until the relevant LED turns on,
and the selected mode is shown on the
display. The LED for the previously set
mode will simultaneously turn off.Upon release, the ring nut will return to
the central position.
Starting from the active "Sport" mode,
turn the ring nut clockwise, keeping it in
this position for at least half a second,
and in any case until the relevant LED
turns on, and the selected mode is
shown on the display. The LED for the
previously set mode will simultaneously
turn off. Upon release, the ring nut will
return to the central position.
"Traction"/"All Weather"
MODE
It is a driving mode for safety in poor
vehicle grip conditions (wet/slippery
road surface, rain, snow). On the
4x4 versions use is also recommended
on unsurfaced roads or off-road.
Activation
Starting from the active "Auto" mode,
turn the ring nut clockwise, keeping it in
this position for at least half a second,
and in any case until the relevant LED
turns on, and the selected mode is
shown on the display. The LED for the
previously set mode will simultaneously
turn off. Upon release, the ring nut will
return to the central position.
Starting from the active "Sport" mode,
turn the ring nut anticlockwise, keeping
it in this position for at least half a
second, and in any case until the
relevant LED turns on, and the selected
mode is shown on the display. The LED
for the previously set mode will
simultaneously turn off. Upon release,
the ring nut will return to the central
position.
"Sport" MODE
It is the mode that emphasises the
pleasure of sport driving; it increases
fuel consumption however. Traction is
optimised on 4x4 versions, allowing the
vehicle road-hold performance to be
improved, even on bends.
Activation
Starting from the active "Auto" mode,
turn the ring nut anticlockwise, keeping
it in this position for at least half a
second, and in any case until the
relevant LED turns on, and the selected
mode is shown on the display. The LED
for the previously set mode will
simultaneously turn off. Upon release,
the ring nut will return to the central
position.

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption values given in the table below are determined on the basis of the type-approval tests laid down by
specific European Directives. The procedures below are followed for measuring consumption:
urban cycle: cold starting followed by driving that simulates urban use of the vehicle;
extra-urban cycle: frequent accelerating in all gears, simulating extra-urban use of the vehicle: speed varies between 0 and
120 km/h;
combined fuel consumption: calculated with a weighting of approximately 37% of the urban cycle and 63% of the
extra-urban cycle.
IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic conditions, weather conditions, driving style, general condition of the car, trim
level/equipment/accessories, use of the climate control system, car load, presence of roof racks and other situations that
adversely affect the aerodynamics or wind resistance lead to different fuel consumption figures than those measured. The fuel
consumption will get more regular only after having driven the first 3000 km.
