2019 FIAT 500L ignition

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.

RECHARGING
158) 159)
IMPORTANT After turning the ignition
key to STOP and having closed the
driver side door, wait at least 1 minute
before disconnecting the electrical
supply from the battery. When
reconnecting the electrical supply to the
battery, make sure that the ignition
device is in the STOP position and the
driver side door is closed.
IMPORTANT Charging should be slow
at a low ampere rating for
approximately 24 hours. Charging for a
longer time may damage the battery.IMPORTANT Make sure that the cables
of the electrical system are correctly
reconnected to the battery: the positive
cable (+) to the positive terminal and
the negative cable (-) to the negative
terminal. The battery terminals are
marked with the positive (+) and
negative (–) symbols, and are shown on
the battery cover. The battery terminals
must also be corrosion-free and firmly
secured to the terminals. If a "quick-
type" battery charger is used with the
battery fitted on the vehicle, before
connecting it disconnect both cables of
the battery itself. Do not use a
"quick-type" battery charger to provide
the starting voltage.
IMPORTANT The battery recharging
procedure is given as information only.
You are advised to contact a Fiat
Dealership to have this operation
carried out.
VERSIONS WITHOUT
Start&Stop SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
To recharge, proceed as follows:
disconnect the terminal from the
negative battery pole;
connect the charger cables to the
battery terminals, observing the polarity;
turn on the battery charger;

SERVICING AND CARE

In the event of extended inactivity the
display will show the average of the
indices until that moment (the "Average
index"), then the indices will be
coloured again in real time as soon as
the vehicle is restarted.
To check the data average of previous
route (the "route" starts when the
ignition key is turned to MAR 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.
Trip data storage and transfer
The trip data can be stored in
the system memory and transferred
through a properly configured USB
memory stick or by theUconnect™
LIVE App.
This allows you to display the history of
the collected data, showing the
complete analysis of the trip data and
of your driving style.
For further information visit the
www.driveuconnect.eu websiteIMPORTANT Do not remove the USB
memory stick nor unpair the
smartphone and theUconnect™ LIVE
App before the system has
downloaded the data, since these
could be lost. During the transfer of
data to the devices,Uconnect™
messages may appear on the display
to guide the user correctly through
the operation; follow these instructions.
These messages are only displayed
with the ignition key at STOP and when
a delay in theUconnect™system
switching off is set. The data are
automatically transferred to the devices
when the engine is switched off.
Transferred data will be deleted from
the system memory in this manner. You
can choose to store the trip data or
not, by pressing the "Settings" button
and by setting the storage activation
and the USB or Cloud transfer mode.
When the USB memory stick is full, the
dedicated messages are shown on
theUconnect™system display.
When theeco:Drive™data have not
been transferred to the USB key for
a while, theUconnect™system
internal memory could become
saturated: in this case, follow the
recommendations provided by the

Transmission
Speed
eco:Drive™ display
Press theeco:Drive™button to
interact with the function. A screen will
be displayed showing the 4 indices

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).
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.
