2019 FIAT 500X inflation pressure

Important notesThe system has not been designed
to prevent impacts and cannot detect
possible conditions leading to an
accident in advance. Failure to take into
account this warning may lead to
serious or fatal injuries.
The system may be activated,
assessing the trajectory of the car, in
case of reflecting metal objects different
from other cars, such as safety barriers,
road signs, barriers before parking lots,
toll-gates, level crossings, gates,
railways, objects near road
constructions sites or higher than the
car (e.g. a flyover). In the same way, the
system may intervene inside
multi-storey car parks or tunnels, or due
to a glare on the road surface. These
possible activations follow the normal
operating logic of the system and must
not be regarded as faults.
The system has been designed for
road use only. If the car is driven
off-road, the system must be
deactivated, to avoid unnecessary
warnings. Automatic deactivation is
signalled by the dedicated warning
light/icon switching on in the instrument
panel (see the instructions in the
"Warning lights and messages"
paragraph, "Knowing the instrument
panel" chapter).
TPMS (Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System)
62) 63) 64) 65) 66) 67)
Description
The car can be equipped with the
iTPMS (indirect Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System) which monitors the
tyre inflation status thanks to wheel
speed sensors.
Correct tyre pressure
If no under-inflated tyres are detected,
the outline of the car will be shown on
the display.
Low tyre pressure
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by switching on the
warning light on the instrument
panel and a warning message on the
display, along with an acoustic signal.This warning is displayed also when
turning the engine off and on again until
the RESET procedure is carried out.
Reset procedure
The iTPMS needs an initial
"self-learning" phase (with length
depending on the driving style and road
conditions: optimal conditions being
driving on a straight road at 80 km/h for
at least 20 minutes) which starts when
the RESET procedure is carried out
manually.
The RESET procedure must be carried
out:
each time tyre pressure is modified;
when even only one tyre is changed;
when tyres are rotated/inverted;
when the space-saver wheel is fitted.
Before carrying out the RESET
procedure, inflate the tyres to the rated
pressure values specified in the inflation
pressure table (see "Wheels" paragraph
in the "Technical specifications"
chapter).
If the RESET procedure is not carried
out, in all above cases, the
warning
light may give false indications on one
or more tyres.
To carry out the RESET procedure, with
the vehicle stopped and the ignition
device at MAR, use the Main Menu as
follows:

63)The iTPMS does not relieve the driver
from the obligation to check the tyre
pressure every month; it is not even to be
considered a replacing system for
maintenance or a safety system.
64)Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres cold. Should it become necessary for
whatever reason to check pressure with
warm tyres, do not reduce pressure even
though it is higher than the prescribed
value, but repeat the check when tyres are
cold
65)The iTPMS cannot indicate sudden tyre
pressure drops (e.g. if a tyre bursts). In this
case, stop the vehicle, braking with caution
and avoiding abrupt steering.
66)The system only warns that the tyre
pressure is low: it is not able to inflate
them.
67)Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel
consumption, reduces the tread duration
and may affect the capacity to drive safely.
IMPORTANT
22)The system may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such
as: heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow.
23)The section of the bumper before the
sensor must not be covered with
adhesives, auxiliary headlights or any other
object.
24)System intervention might be
unexpected or delayed when other vehicles
transport loads projecting from the side,
above or from the rear, with respect to the
normal size of the vehicle.25)Operation can be adversely affected by
any structural change made to the vehicle,
such as a modification to the front
geometry, tyre change, or a heavier load
than the standard load of the vehicle.
26)Incorrect repairs made on the front part
of the vehicle (e.g. bumper, chassis) may
alter the position of the radar sensor, and
adversely affect its operation. Go to a Fiat
Dealership for any operation of this type.
27)Do not tamper with nor carry out any
intervention on the radar sensor or on the
camera on the windscreen. In the event of
a sensor failure, contact a Fiat Dealership.
28)When towing a trailer (with modules
installed after purchasing the vehicle), a
vehicle or during loading manoeuvres on a
vehicle transporter (or in vehicle for
transport), the system must be deactivated
via theUconnect™system.
29)Do not wash with high-pressure jets in
the bumper lower area: in particular do not
operate on the system's electrical
connector.
30)Be careful in the case of repairs and
new paintings in the area around the
sensor (panel covering the sensor on the
left side of the bumper). In the event of a
frontal impact the sensor may automatically
deactivate and display a warning to indicate
that the sensor needs to be repaired. Even
without a malfunction warning, deactivate
the system operation if you think that the
position of the radar sensor has changed
(e.g. due to low-speed frontal impact as
during parking manoeuvres). In these
cases, go to a Fiat Dealership to have the
radar sensor realigned or replaced.
OCCUPANT
PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
The most important safety equipment
of the vehicle comprises 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 paragraph "Head
restraints" in chapter "Knowing your
vehicle".

152)The space-saver wheel cannot be
fitted with snow chains. If a front (drive) tyre
is punctured and chains are needed, use a
standard wheel from the rear axle and
install the space-saver wheel on the rear
axle. In this way, with two normal drive
wheels at the front axle, it is possible to
use snow chains (this instruction is also
valid for 4x4 versions).
153)Never tamper with the inflation valve.
Never introduce tools of any kind between
the rim and the tyre. Check tyre and
space-saver wheel pressures regularly,
complying with the values given in the
"Technical specifications" chapter.
154)The jack is a tool developed and
designed only for changing a wheel, if a
tyre gets punctured or damaged, on the
vehicle with which it is supplied or on other
vehicles of the same model. Any other use,
e.g. to jack up other vehicle models or
different things, is strictly prohibited. Never
use it to carry out maintenance or repairs
under the vehicle or to change
summer/winter wheels and vice versa: we
advise you to contact a Fiat Dealership.
Never go under the raised vehicle: use it
only in the positions indicated. Do not use
the jack for loads higher than the one
shown on its label. Never start the engine
with car raised. If the car is raised more
than necessary, everything can become
more unstable, with the risk of the car
dropping violently. Thus, lift the car only as
needed in order to access the space-saver
spare wheel.155)When turning the jack handle make
sure that it can turn freely without scraping
your hand against the ground. The moving
components of the jack ("worm screw" and
joints) can also cause injuries: do not touch
them. If you come into contact with
lubricating grease, clean yourself
thoroughly.FIX&GO KIT

Move the car by approximately 10 m to
distribute the sealant; stop the car
safely, engage the handbrake and use
the black inflation pipe 9 fig. 150 to
reach the required pressure. If also in
this case, the pressure is lower than
1.8 bar / 26 psi 15 minutes after turning
on, do not resume driving but contact a
Fiat Dealership.After driving for about 8 km / 5 miles,
position the vehicle in a safe and
suitable area and engage the
handbrake. Take the compressor and
restore pressure using the black
inflation tube 9 fig. 150.
If the pressure shown is higher than
1.8 bar / 26 psi, restore the pressure
and drive safely to a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible. If, however, the
pressure is lower than 1.8 bar / 26 psi,
do not resume driving but contact a Fiat
Dealership.
INFLATION PROCEDURE
Proceed as follows:
stop the car safely, as described
above, and operate the handbrake;
extract the black inflation tube 9
fig. 150 and screw it firmly onto the tyre
valve. Follow the instructions shown in
fig. 148 and fig. 150.Press the air release button 10

191

Check the tension of the snow chains
after the first few metres have been
driven.
IMPORTANT Using snow chains with
tyres with non-original dimensions may
damage the vehicle.
IMPORTANT Using different size or type
(M+S, snow, etc.) tyres between front
and rear axle may adversely affect
vehicle driveability, with the risk of losing
control of the vehicle and resulting
accidents.
SUGGESTIONS ABOUT
THE ROTATION OF THE
TYRES
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. Tyre
rotation means moving the wheels to a
different position, with respect to the
vehicle. The single wheel will therefore
operate on a different axle and, where
possible, on the opposite side of the
vehicle.Tyre rotation contributes to the
preservation of the grip and traction
performance on wet, muddy or snowy
roads, guaranteeing optimal driveability
of the vehicle.
In the case of irregular wear of the tyres
identify the cause and correct it as soon
as possible, by contacting a Fiat
Dealership.
WARNING
180)The road holding qualities of the car
also depend on the correct inflation
pressure of the tyres.
181)If tyre pressure is too low, it may
overheat and be severely damaged as a
result.
182)If the tyres are "unidirectional", do not
switch tyres from the right-hand side of the
vehicle to the left-hand side, and vice
versa. This type of tyres can only be
switched from the front axle to the rear axle
and vice versa, keeping them on the same
side of the vehicle.
183)Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the use of
temperatures exceeding 150°C. The
mechanical properties of the wheels could
be impaired.
184)The wheel rotation methods shown in
the text must NOT be used with one-way
tyres! This type of tyres can only be
switched from the front axle to the rear axle
and vice versa, keeping them on the same
side of the vehicle.185)Travelling with partially or completely
deflated tyres can cause safety problems
and damage the concerned tyre beyond
repair.
IMPORTANT
95)Keep your speed down when snow
chains are fitted; do not exceed 50 km/h.
Avoid potholes, do not drive over steps or
pavements and do not drive long distances
over roads without snow, to avoid
damaging both your vehicle and the road
surface.
208
SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

COLD TYRE INFLATION PRESSURE (bar)
When the tyres are warm, the inflation pressure should be +0.3 bar compared with the prescribed value. However, recheck that
the value is correct with the tyre cold.
With snow tyres, add +0.2 bar to the pressure value prescribed for standard tyres.
If it is necessary to raise the vehicle, refer to the "Raising the vehicle" paragraph in the "In an emergency" chapter.
WARNING
190)If winter tyres with a lower speed rating than that indicated in the Registration Document are used, do not exceed the maximum speed
corresponding to the speed rating of the tyres used.
191)DO NOT fit wheel hub caps when using integral hub caps fixed (with springs) to the steel rim and after sale tyres provided with Rim
Protector. Use of unsuitable tyres and wheel caps may cause sudden decrease of tyre pressure.
