2019 FIAT 500 service

SCHEDULED
SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the car
under the best conditions.
For this reason, Fiat has planned a
series of checks and services at fixed
distance and/or time intervals, as
described in the Service Schedule.
To keep the car’s efficiency in tip-top
condition, in the following Scheduled
Service plan pages a few additional
checks are listed that should be carried
out more frequently with respect to
the normal coupon redemption
schedule.
Scheduled Servicing is offered by all
Fiat Dealerships according to fixed time
or kilometres/miles intervals. If, during
each operation, in addition to the ones
scheduled, the need arises for further
replacements or repairs, these may
be carried out with the owner's explicit
agreement only. If your car is used
frequently for towing, the interval
between one scheduled servicing
operation and the next should
be reduced.IMPORTANT NOTES
Scheduled Servicing interventions are
set out by the Manufacturer. Failure
to have them carried out may invalidate
the warranty.
We advise sharing any doubts
regarding the car’s proper operation
with your Fiat Dealership, before waiting
for the next coupon redemption.

SERVICING AND CARE

BATTERY
The car is fitted with a low-maintenance
battery: no electrolyte top-ups with
distilled water are needed in standard
conditions of use.
INSPECTING THE
CHARGE AND THE
ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
The operations must be carried out as
described in this Owner Handbook only
by specialised personnel. Topping
must be carried out by specialised
personnel at a Fiat Dealership.
180) 181)
REPLACING THE
BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with a
genuine spare part with the same
specifications.
If a battery with different specifications
is fitted, the service intervals given in
the "Service Schedule" will no longer be
valid.
Follow the battery manufacturer's
instructions for maintenance.
182) 183) 184)
64)
5)
CAR INACTIVITY (CARS
EQUIPPED WITH
START&STOP SYSTEM)
In the event of vehicle inactivity (or if the
battery is replaced), special attention
must be paid to the disconnection
of the battery power supply.
Proceed as follows: detach the
connector A fig. 132 (by pressing
button B) from sensor C for monitoring
the status of the battery installed on
the negative battery pole D. This sensor
should never be disconnected from
the battery pole except if the battery is
replaced.
IMPORTANT After turning the ignition
key to STOP and having closed the
driver's side door, wait at least one
minute before disconnecting the battery
and then reconnecting the electrical
supply to the battery.
WARNING
180)Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with skin and
eyes. Keep naked flames and sources of
sparks away from the battery: risk of
explosion and fire.
181)Running the battery with an
excessively low liquid level will damage the
battery beyond repair and could even
cause its explosion
182)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.
183)When performing any operation on
the battery or near it, always protect your
eyes with special goggles.
184)Do not attempt to charge a frozen
battery: it must be thawed first, otherwise it
may explode. If freezing has occurred, the
battery should be checked by skilled
personnel to make sure that the internal
elements are not damaged and that the
body is not cracked, with the risk of leaking
poisonous and corrosive acid.

more efficient driving style as far as
consumption and emissions are
concerned.
In addition, the data can be saved on a
USB flash drive, and the data analysis
can be made on your personal
computer thanks to theeco:Drive™
desktop application, available on

following parameters:
Acceleration
Deceleration
Transmission
Speed
eco:Drive™ display
Press theeco:Drive™button to
interact with the function.
A screen will be displayed on the radio,
showing the 4 indices described above.
These indices are grey until the system
has enough data to evaluate the driving
style.Once sufficient data are available, the
indices will have 5 colours depending
on the evaluation: dark green (very
good), light green, yellow, orange and
red (very bad).
"Current trip index" refers to the entire
value calculated in real time based
on the average of the described
indices.
It represents eco-friendliness of the
driving style: from 0 (low) to 100 (high).
In the event of extended inactivity the
display will show the average of the
indices up to that moment (“Average
index”) then the indices will be coloured
again in real time as soon as the car is
restarted.
To check the data average for the
previous trip (the “trip” starts when the
ignition key is turned to the MAR
position and stops when it is turned to
STOP), select the “Previous Route”
button.
The details of the previous trip can also
be displayed by pressing the "Details"
button to show trip duration (time
and mileage) and average speed.
