2019 FIAT 500L manual transmission

WARNING
100)Depress the clutch pedal fully to
change gear correctly. It is therefore
essential that there is nothing under the
pedals: make sure the mats are lying
flat and do not get in the way of the
pedals.
WARNING
43)Do not drive with your hand resting on
the gear lever as the force exerted, even
if slight, could lead over time to premature
wear of the gearbox internal components.
USING THE
DUALOGIC
GEARBOX
(for versions/markets, where provided)
101)44)
GEAR LEVER
The gear lever A fig. 89 is the
multistable floating type, in other words
it has three stable and three unstable
positions.
The three stable positions correspond
to neutral (N), reverse (R) and the
central position located between the
unstable positions (+) and (-).
The central position of the gear lever
identifies forward gear.The unstable positions, in other words
those that are abandoned as soon
as the lever is released, are the
positions for requesting a higher gear
(+), requesting a lower gear (–) and
requesting to switch mode from
automatic to manual and vice versa
(A/M).
OPERATING MODE
The transmission/transmission can
function in two operating modes:
MANUALin which the driver
decides when to shift gear
AUTOin which the system decides
when to shift gear
MANUAL MODE
Proceed as follows:
press the brake pedal and start the
engine;
push the gear lever towards (+) to
engage first gear (if starting from N
or R, simply place the lever in the
middle position) or R to engage reverse;
in case of forward gear, the view on
the display must be “M1”, “M2” (see
figure), etc. If this is not so, move the
A/M to activate manual mode;
release the brake pedal and press
the accelerator pedal;

STARTING AND DRIVING

WARNING
101)If the engine fails to start with a gear
engaged, the potentially dangerous
situation due to the fact that the
transmission is automatically put in neutral
will be signalled by an acoustic signal.
WARNING
44)Avoid keeping your hand on this lever
except during gear change or AUTO/
MANUAL mode requests.
45)Using the paddles incorrectly (paddles
pushed towards the dashboard) could
break them.
START&STOP
SYSTEM
102) 103)46)
The Start&Stop system automatically
stops the engine whenever the car
is stationary and all the conditions for
automatic switch-off are met. The
engine is restarted when the driver
wants to move off.
In this way, the car efficiency is
increased, by reducing consumption,
dangerous gas emissions and sound
pollution.
OPERATING MODE
Stopping the engine
Versions with manual transmission
: with the car stationary, the engine
stops with the gears in neutral and the
clutch pedal released.
Versions with Dualogic
transmission: the engine stops if the
vehicle is at a standstill and the brake
pedal is pressed. This condition can be
maintained even if the brake pedal is
not depressed, if the gear lever is
in position N (Neutral).
NOTE The engine can only be stopped
automatically after exceeding about
10 km/h, to prevent the engine from
being repeatedly stopped when driving
at walking pace.The
warning light on the instrument
panel switches on to signal that the
engine has stopped.
Restarting the engine
Versions with manual transmission:
press the clutch pedal.
Versions with Dualogic
transmission: if the gear lever is in
position N (Neutral), place it in any other
gear, otherwise release the brake pedal
or move the gear lever to +, – or R.
MANUAL SYSTEM
ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
To activate/deactivate the system
manually, press the
fig. 92 button.
LED off: system activated /LED on:
system deactivated.
WARNING
102)If the battery needs to be replaced,
always contact a Fiat Dealership. Replace
the battery with one of the same type
(HEAVY DUTY) and with the same
specifications.
108
STARTING AND DRIVING
IMPORTANT For versions/markets,
where provided, the system is
activated automatically whenever the
engine is started, regardless of the
condition (system on or off) present
before the engine was stopped.

Versions with Dualogic
transmission
Make sure that the transmission is in
neutral (N) (checking that the car moves
when pushed) and proceed in the
same way as for towing a normal car
with a manual transmission. If the
gearbox cannot be put in neutral, do
not tow the car and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
WARNING
141)Before towing, turn the ignition key to
MAR-ON and then to STOP without
removing it. The steering column
will automatically lock when the key is
removed and the wheels cannot be
steered.
142)Before tightening the ring clean the
threaded housing thoroughly. Make sure
that the ring is fully screwed into the
housing before towing the car.
143)Whilst towing, remember that the
assistance of the brake servo and the
electric power steering is not available,
therefore greater force needs to be exerted
on the brake pedal and more effort is
required on the steering wheel. Do not use
flexible cables when towing and avoid
jerky movements. Make sure not to
damage parts in contact with the car while
towing. When towing the vehicle, you
must comply with all specific traffic
regulations, both in terms of the towing
device and behaviour on the road. Do not
start the engine while towing the vehicle.144)The front and rear tow hooks should
be used only for emergencies on the road.
The car may be towed for short distances
when a dedicated device is used in
compliance with the Highway Code (rigid
bar), and in order to move the vehicle
on the road in preparation for towing or
transport via a tow truck (on Cross versions
do NOT use the rear tow hook for
transport on a tow truck: use the front tow
hook). Tow hooks MUST NOT be used
to tow vehicles off the road or where there
are obstacles (e.g. snow, mud, etc.) and/or
for towing operations using cables or
other non-rigid devices, or if there are
obstructions preventing the car from
moving forward normally with the
transmission in neutral. In compliance with
the above conditions, towing must take
place with the two vehicles (one towing,
the other towed) aligned as much as
possible along the same centre line, to
prevent excessive lateral forces on the
towing devices.
