2019 FIAT 500X snow chains

go to "Vehicle info" and then to
"Reset tyre pressure";
press the "OK" and hold down (more
than 2 seconds);
the display will show the procedure
progress (with a graphic bar) till the
RESET is completed.
At the end of the RESET procedure the
display will show the "Reset saved"
message, indicating that the
self-learning has been started and you
will hear a beep. If the self-learning
procedure of the iTPMS system has not
been carried out correctly, you will not
hear any acoustic warning.
Operating conditions
The system is active for speeds above
15 km/h.
In a few situations such as sporty
driving, particular conditions of the road
surface (e.g. icy, snowy, unsurfaced
roads) the signalling may be delayed or
partial in detecting the contemporary
deflation of more than one tyre.
Under special conditions (e.g. car
loaded asymmetrically on one side,
damaged or worn tyre, fitting the
space-saver spare wheel, use of the
"Fix&Go" tyre repair kit, fitting snow
chains, fitting different tyres on the
axles) the system may provide false
indications or be temporarily
deactivated.If the system is temporarily deactivated
the
warning light flashes for about
75 seconds and then is continuously
on; at the same time, the display shows
a warning message and the symbols "–
–" will appear next to the shape of the
car next to each tyre.
This warning is displayed also after the
engine has been switched off and then
on again if the correct operating
conditions are not restored.
In the case of abnormal signals, it is
recommended to perform the RESET
procedure. If the indications appear
again after a successful RESET, check
that the tyres used on all four wheels
are the same and that the tyres are not
damaged. As soon as possible, refit the
standard tyre instead of the
space-saver spare, remove the snow
chains, if possible, check correct load
distribution and repeat the RESET
procedure by driving on a clean,
tarmacked road. If the indications
persist, contact a Fiat Dealership.WARNING
57)The system is an aid for vehicle driving,
it DOES NOT warn the driver about
incoming vehicles outside of the detection
areas. The driver must always maintain a
sufficient level of attention to the traffic and
road conditions and for controlling the
trajectory of the vehicle.
58)The system is an aid for the driver, who
must always pay full attention while driving.
The responsibility always rests with the
driver, who must take into account the
traffic conditions in order to drive in
complete safety. The driver must always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in
front.
59)If the driver depresses the brake pedal
fully or carries out a fast steering during
system operation, the automatic braking
function may stop (e.g. to allow a possible
manoeuvre to avoid the obstacle).
60)The system intervenes on vehicles
travelling in the same lane. People, animals
and things (e.g. pushchairs) are not taken
into consideration.
61)If the car must be placed on a roller
bench for maintenance interventions or if it
is washed in an automatic roller washing
tunnel with an obstacle in the front part
(e.g. another car, a wall or another
obstacle), the system may detect its
presence and activate. In this case the
system must be deactivated through the
settings of theUconnect™system.
62)If the iTPMS system signals a pressure
decrease on the tyres, it is recommended
to check the pressure on all four tyres.

SAFETY

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

93)Vehicles equipped with catalytic
converter must be fuelled only with
unleaded petrol. Leaded petrol would
permanently damage the catalytic
converter and eliminate its ability to reduce
polluting emissions, seriously
compromising the engine performance,
which would be irreparably damaged. If the
engine does not work correctly, especially if
it starts irregularly or if there is a reduction
of its performance, immediately go to a Fiat
Dealership. Prolonged and faulty operation
of the engine may cause overheating of the
converter and, as a consequence, possible
damage to the converter and the car.
94)Using a gearbox fluid different from that
approved may compromise gearshifting
quality and/or cause vibration of the
gearbox itself.LIFTING THE
VEHICLE
If the vehicle needs to be jacked up, go
to a Fiat Dealership, which is equipped
with shop jacks and jack arms.
The vehicle lifting points are marked on
the side skirts with the
symbols (see
illustration in fig. 179 ).

RIMS AND TYRES
For the type of wheel rims and tyres
fitted on the vehicle see the "Wheels"
paragraph in the "Technical data"

SNOW CHAINS
95)
Front Wheel Drive and All Wheel
Drive versions
7-mm snow chains can be used on
215/60 R16 95H and 215/55 R17 94V
tyres.
225/45 R18 91V and 225/45 R18 91Y
tyres cannot be fitted with snow chains.
Important
The use of snow chains should be in
compliance with local regulations of
each country. In certain countries, tyres
marked with code M+S (Mud and
Snow) are considered as winter
equipment; therefore their use is
equivalent to that of the snow chains.
The snow chains may be applied only
to the front wheel tyres.

207

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.
