2019 FIAT 500L fuel cap

34)The iTPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre
pressure drops (for example when a tyre
bursts). In this case, stop the vehicle,
braking with caution and avoiding abrupt
steering.
35)The iTPMS system only warns that the
tyre pressure is low: it cannot inflate
them.
36)Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel
consumption, reduces the tread duration
and may affect the capacity to drive safely.OCCUPANT
PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
Some of the most important safety
equipment of the car comprise the
following protection systems:
seat belts;
SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system;
head restraints;
child restraint systems;
Front airbags and side bags.
Read the information given the
following pages with the utmost care. It
is of fundamental importance that the
protection systems are used in the
correct way to guarantee the maximum
possible safety level for the driver and
the passengers.
For the description of the head restraint
adjustment see the "Head restraints"
paragraph in the "Knowing your car"
chapter.
SEAT BELTS
62) 63)
All vehicle seats are equipped with seat
belts with three anchor points and a
retractor.
The reel mechanism operates locking
the belt in the event of sharp braking or
strong deceleration due to an impact.
This allows the seat belt strap to slide
freely and to adapt to the body of
the occupant. In the event of an
accident, the seat belt will lock reducing
the risk of impact inside the passenger
compartment and of being projected
outside the car.
The driver is responsible for respecting,
and ensuring that all the other
occupants of the vehicle also respect,
the local laws in force in relation to
the use of the seat belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before
setting off.
USING THE SEAT BELTS
The seat belt should be worn keeping
the chest straight and rested against
the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the
tongue A fig. 62 and insert it into the
buckle B, until it clicks into place.
If the belt jams while being removed, let
it rewind for a short stretch, then pull
it out again without jerking.

SAFETY

Flap A is provided with a dust cover
gaiter C fig. 104which prevents
deposits of impurities and dust at the
end of the filler when the flap is closed.
Emergency refuelling
If there is no fuel in the car or the supply
circuit is completely empty, proceed
as follows to reintroduce fuel to the
tank:
open the luggage compartment and
get the adapter, located in the toolbox
or, depending on the versions, in the
Fix&Go Automatic container;
open the fuel flap by pulling
outwards, insert the adapted in the filler,
as shown in fig. 105 and refuel;
after refuelling, remove the adapter
and close the flap;
reintroduce the adapter in the box
and put this back in the boot.Topping for AdBlue® (UREA) Diesel
Emissions Additive
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Preliminary conditions
AdBlue® freezes at temperatures lower
than -11 °C. If the vehicle stands for a
long time at this temperature refilling
could be difficult. For this reason, it
is advised to park the vehicle in a
garage and/or heated environment and
wait for the UREA to return to liquid
state before topping up.
Proceed as follows:
park the car on level ground;
stop the engine by turning the
ignition device to MAR;
open the fuel flap A fig. 104 and
then unscrew and remove the cap D
(blue colour) fig. 104 from the AdBlue®
filler.
Refilling with nozzles
The system was designed in
compliance with ISO 22241-5 (nozzle
capacity: 10 l/min.). Refilling at stations
with higher flow rates is possible, but
the nozzle could shut off and the
amount introduced into the tank may
vary.Proceed as follows:
insert the AdBlue® nozzle in the
filler, start refilling and stop refilling
at the first shut-off (the shut-off
indicates that the AdBlue® tank is full).
Do not proceed with the refilling, to
prevent spillage of AdBlue®;
extract the nozzle.
Refilling with containers
Proceed as follows:
check the expiration date;
read the advice for use on the label
before pouring the content of the bottle
into the AdBlue® tank;
if systems which cannot be screwed
in (e.g. tanks) are used for refilling,
after the indication appears on
the instrument panel display (see
“Warning lights and messages"
paragraph in the “Knowing the
instrument panel” chapter), fill the
AdBlue® tank with no more than 6.5
litres;
if containers which can be screwed
to the filler are used, the reservoir is
full when the AdBlue® level in the
container stops pouring out. Do not
proceed further.
Operations after refilling
Proceed as follows:
fit the cap D fig. 104 back on the
AdBlue® filler by turning it clockwise
and screwing it completely;

WARNING
112)Do not apply any object/plug to the
end of the filler which is not provided
for the car. The use of non-compliant
objects/plugs could cause a pressure
increase inside the tank, resulting in
dangerous situations.
113)Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel filler: fire risk.
Keep your face away from the fuel filler to
prevent breathing in harmful vapours.114)Do not use a mobile phone near the
refuelling pump: risk of fire.
WARNING
49)For diesel engines, only use diesel fuel
for motor vehicles in accordance with
EN 590 European specifications. The use
of other products or mixtures may damage
the engine beyond repair and
consequently invalidate the warranty, due
to the damage caused. If you accidentally
introduce other types of fuel into the tank,
do not start the engine. Empty the tank.
If the engine has been run for even an
extremely limited amount of time, you must
not only drain the fuel tank, but the rest of
the supply circuit as well.
50)If AdBlue® overheats for a prolonged
period inside the tank to over 50 °C (for
example due to direct solar irradiation),
AdBlue® can decompose ammonia
vapours. Ammonia vapours have a
pungent odour when the cap of the
AdBlue® tank is unscrewed, therefore be
careful not to inhale any ammonia vapours
in the tank outlet. In this concentration,
however, the ammonia vapours are not
harmful or dangerous to health.
AdBlue® (UREA)
ADDITIVE FOR
DIESEL EMISSIONS
The car is equipped with an AdBlue®
(UREA) injection system and Selective
Catalytic Reduction (SCR) to meet
emission standards.
These two systems ensure compliance
with the diesel emissions requirements;
at the same time, they ensure
fuel-efficiency, handling, torque and
power. For messages and system
warnings, refer to the "Warning lights
and messages" paragraph in the
"Knowing the instrument panel"
chapter.
AdBlue® (UREA) is considered a very
stable product with a long shelf life.
Stored at temperatures LOWER than
32 °C, it has a shelf life of at least
one year.
For more information on the AdBlue®
(UREA) liquid type, see the “Fluids
and lubricants” paragraph in the
“Technical specifications” chapter.
The car is provided with an automatic
AdBlue® (UREA) heating system when
the engine starts allowing the system
to work correctly at temperatures lower
than -11 °C.
IMPORTANT AdBlue® (UREA) freezes
at temperatures lower than -11 °C.
