2019 FIAT 500L Owner handbook (in English)

WARNING
160)Driving with worn windscreen/rear
window wiper blades is a serious risk,
because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.
WARNING
64)Do not operate the windscreen wiper
with the blades lifted from the windscreen.
LIFTING THE CAR
161)
65)
If the car needs to be lifted, go to a Fiat
Dealership which is equipped with
arm hoists or workshop lifts.
WARNING
161)The care must only be raised laterally
by placing the ends of the arms or
workshop lift in the areas shown in fig. 168
and fig. 169 (for lifting the rear side).
WARNING
65)Take special care when positioning the
arm lifts or the workshop lift in order not
to damage the aerodynamic spoilers and
the side skirts, if any.

WHEELS AND TYRES
SUGGESTIONS ABOUT
THE ROTATION OF THE
TYRES
162)66) 67) 68) 69)
The front and rear tyres are subject to
different loads and stress due to
steering, manoeuvres and braking. For
this reason they are subject to uneven
wear.
To resolve this problem, tyres should be
rotated at the appropriate time. This
operation is recommended for tyres
with a deep tread pattern, suitable both
for on-road and off-road driving.
Tyre rotation contributes to the
preservation of the grip and traction
performance on wet, muddy or snowy
roads, guaranteeing optimal driveability
of the car.
In the case of irregular wear of the
tyres, the reason must be identified and
corrected before rotating them.
WARNING
162)Do not cross switch the tyres if they
are "unidirectional" type. In this case,
always take care not to fit the tyres with a
direction of rotation that is opposite to that
indicated: you would risk losing grip and
control of the vehicle.
WARNING
66)The road holding qualities of the car
also depend on the correct inflation
pressure of the tyres.
67)If tyre pressure is too low, the tyre may
overheat and be severely damaged as a
result.
68)Do not switch tyres from the right­hand
side of the vehicle to the left­hand side,
and vice versa.
69)Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the use of
temperatures exceeding 150°C. The
mechanical properties of the wheels could
be impaired.
BODYWORK
PRESERVING THE
BODYWORK
Paintwork
70)6)
Touch up abrasions and scratches
immediately to prevent the formation of
rust.
Versions with matt paint
(for versions/markets, where provided)
On some versions the car may have
an exclusive opaque paint on the roof,
which requires special care to keep it
in good condition.
71)
Washing the car
To correctly wash the car, follow these
instructions:
if the vehicle is washed remove the
aerial from the roof;
if high pressure jets or cleaners are
used to wash the vehicle, keep a
distance of at least 40 cm from the
bodywork to avoid damage or
alteration. Build up of water could
cause damage to the car in the long
term;
wash the bodywork using a low
pressure jet of water;
168
SERVICING AND CARE

wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy
solution over the bodywork, frequently
rinsing the sponge;
rinse well with water and dry with a
jet of air or a chamois leather.
WARNING
70)In order to preserve the aesthetic
appearance of the paint abrasive products
and/or polishes should not be used for
cleaning the vehicle.
71)Avoid washing with rollers and/or
brushes in washing stations. Wash the car
only by hand using neutral pH detergents;
dry it with a wet chamois leather. Abrasive
products and/or polishes should not be
used for cleaning the car. Bird droppings
must be washed off immediately and
thoroughly as the acid they contain
is particularly aggressive. Avoid (if at all
possible) parking the vehicle under trees;
remove vegetable resins immediately
as, when dried, it may only be possible to
remove them with abrasive products
and/or polishes, which is highly inadvisable
as they could alter the typical opaqueness
of the paint. Do not use pure windscreen
washer fluid for cleaning the front
windscreen and rear window; dilute it min.
50% with water. Only use pure screen
washer fluid when strictly necessary due to
outside temperature conditions.
WARNING
6)Detergents pollute the water. Only wash
your car in areas equipped to collect and
treat wastewater from this type of activity.
