2020 FIAT 500 dashboard

129)Before starting any servicing
operation, stop the engine and remove the
key from the ignition switch to operate
the steering lock, particularly when the
wheels do not touch the ground. If this is
not possible (for example if the key needs
to be turned to MAR or the engine must be
running), remove the main fuse that
protects the electric power steering.START&STOP
SYSTEM
130) 131) 132) 133)
46)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The Start&Stop system automatically
stops the engine each time the car
is stationary and starts it again when
the driver wants to move off.
In this way, the vehicle efficiency is
increased, by reducing consumption,
dangerous gas emissions and sound
pollution.
OPERATING MODE
Stopping the engine
With manual transmission: with the car
stationary, the engine stops with the
transmission in neutral and the clutch
pedal released.
With Dualogic gearbox: the engine
stops if the car is at a standstill and the
brake pedal is pressed. This condition
can be maintained even if the brake
pedal is not depressed, if the gear lever
is in position N (Neutral).NOTE The engine can only be stopped
automatically over about 10 km/h, to
prevent the engine from being
repeatedly stopped when driving at
walking pace.
Stopping of the engine is indicated by
the warning light or the symbol
on
the instrument panel switching on
(on some versions, together with a
message on the display).
Restarting the engine
With manual transmission: press the
clutch pedal.
With Dualogic gearbox: if the gear lever
is in position N (Neutral), place it in
any other gear, otherwise release the
brake pedal or move the gear lever
to+,–or R (Reverse).
MANUAL SYSTEM
ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
The system can be activated/
deactivated by pressing the button A
fig. 79 on the dashboard.
With the system off, the warning light or
the symbol
appear on the
instrument panel (with a message for
versions with colour display).
Start&Stop mode will be active
whenever the engine is started.

STARTING AND DRIVING

WARNING
143)Modifications or repairs to the electric
system that are not carried out properly
or do not take the system technical
specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
144)Halogen bulbs contain pressurised
gas, in the case of breakage they may
burst causing glass fragments to be
projected outwards.
145)Only replace the light bulbs when the
engine is off and in a position that does
not interfere with traffic and lets you safely
replace them (see the description in the
“Replacement” paragraph). Also ensure
that the engine is cold, to prevent the risk
of burns.
146)Before replacing the bulb, wait for the
exhaust ducts to cool down: DANGER
OF SCALDING!147)Due to the high power supply voltage,
gas discharge bulbs (Xenon) should only
be replaced by specialised personnel:
danger of death! Contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
49)Halogen bulbs must be handled
holding the metallic part only. Touching the
transparent part of the bulb with your
fingers may reduce the intensity of the
emitted light and even reduce the lifespan
of the bulb. In the event of accidental
contact, wipe the bulb with a cloth
moistened with alcohol and let the bulb
dry.
50)Where possible, it is advisable to have
bulbs changed at a Fiat Dealership. The
correct operation and direction of the
external lights are absolutely essential for
the safety of the car and of compliance
with the law.
51)The intervention must be carried out
taking all precautions necessary to avoid
damaging the bodywork (please use a
sufficiently rigid and appropriately thick
plastic card).

52)
The fusebox is located on the right side
of the engine compartment. To access
the fuses, proceed as follows:
Fully press screw A fig. 109;
at the same time slowly rotate the
screw anticlockwise, until resistance is
encountered (do not overtighten);
slowly release the screw;
opening is indicated by the entire
screw head coming out of its seat;
remove cover B, sliding it upwards
on the side guides, as indicated in
the figure.Once the fuse has been replaced,
proceed as follows:
correctly refit the cover B in the side
guides of the casing;
slide it down completely from the
top;
fully tighten screw A using the
screwdriver provided;
at the same time slowly rotate the
screw clockwise, until resistance is
encountered (do not overtighten);
slowly release the screw;
closure is indicated by the securing
of the entire screw head in its housing.
The number identifying the electrical
component corresponding to each fuse
is shown on the control unit cover.

159)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. Never go
under the raised vehicle. If any work under
the vehicle is necessary, contact the Fiat
Service Network. Incorrect placing of
the jack can cause the vehicle to drop: 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 vehicle raised. If the vehicle is raised
more than necessary, everything can
become more unstable, with the risk of the
vehicle dropping violently. Thus, lift the
vehicle only as needed in order to access
the spare tyre.
160)Snow chains cannot be fitted to the
space-saver wheel. So, if a front (drive)
wheel is punctured and chains are needed,
a rear wheel should be fitted to the front
of the car and the space-saver wheel
should be fitted to the rear. In this way,
equipped with two normal drive wheels at
the front, they can be fitted with snow
chains, thus resolving the emergency
situation.
161)If the hub cap is not fitted correctly, it
may come off when the car is travelling.
Never tamper with the inflation valve. Never
introduce tools of any kind between rim
and tyre. Check tyre and space-saver
wheel pressures regularly, complying with
the values given in the "Technical
specifications" chapter.162)It is extremely dangerous to attempt
to change a wheel on the side of the
vehicle next to the driving lane: make sure
that the vehicle is at a sufficient distance
from the road, to avoid being run over.
163)Be very careful when removing/
refitting the hub cap due to the proximity of
the brake disc. We recommend using
heat protection gloves.
WARNING
53)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.
54)Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible to have the correct tightening
of the wheel bolts checked.
