Dear Customer,
We would like to congratulate and thank you for choosing a Fiat.
We have written this handbook to help you get familiar with all the features of your car.
Here you will find information, advice and important warnings regarding use of your vehicle and how to achieve the best
performance from the technical features of your Fiat 500X.
You are advised to read it right through before taking to the road for the first time, to become familiar with the controls and
above all with those concerning brakes, steering and gearbox; at the same time, you can understand the car behaviour on
different road surfaces.
This document contains specifications, special procedures and essential information for caring for and maintaining your Fiat

After reading it, you are advised to keep the handbook inside the car, for an easy reference and for making sure it remains on
board the car should it be sold.
In the attached Warranty Booklet you will also find a description of the Services that Fiat offers to its customers, the Warranty
Certificate and the detail of the terms and conditions for maintaining its validity.
We are sure that these will help you to get in touch with and appreciate your new car and the service provided by the people at
Fiat.
Enjoy reading. Happy motoring!
This Owner Handbook describes all Fiat 500X versions. Options, equipment dedicated to specific markets or
versions are not explicitly indicated in the text: as a consequence, you should only consider the information which
is related to the trim level, engine and version that you have purchased. Any content introduced throughout the
production of the model, outside the specific request of options at the time of purchase, will be identified with the
wording (where provided).
The data contained in this publication should be understood as intended to guide you in the correct use of the car.
FCA Italy S.p.A. aims at a constant improvement of the vehicles produced. For this reason it reserves the right to
make changes to the model described for technical and/or commercial reasons.
For further information, contact a Fiat Dealership.

ESSENTIAL INFORMATION!
REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in compliance with the European
specification EN228. Do not use petrol containing methanol or ethanol E85. Using these mixtures may cause misfiring and
driving issues, as well as damage fundamental components of the supply system. For further details on the use of the correct
fuel see the "Refuelling the car" paragraph in the "Starting and driving" chapter.
Diesel engines: refuel only with Diesel fuel motor vehicles conforming to the European specification EN590. The use of
other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the
damage caused. For further details on the use of the correct fuel see the "Refuelling the vehicle" paragraph in the "Starting
and driving" chapter.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Versions with manual transmission (petrol engines): make sure that the parking brake is engaged; set the gear lever to
neutral, fully depress the clutch pedal without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV or press the ignition
device button; release the key or button as soon as the engine has started.
Versions with manual gearbox (diesel engines): make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gear lever to neutral,
fully depress the clutch pedal without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the warning
light to switch off. Turn the ignition key to AVV or press the ignition device button; release the key or the button as soon as
the engine has started.
Versions with automatic transmission: make sure that the handbrake is engaged and that the gear lever is in P (Parking)
or N (Neutral), depress the brake pedal, without pressing the accelerator pedal, then turn the ignition key to AVV or press the
ignition device button; release the key or the button as soon as the engine has started.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the car on grass, dry leaves, pine needles
or other flammable material: fire hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The vehicle is fitted with a system that carries out a continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to
help protect the environment.

ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), contact a
Fiat Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle's electric system can support
the required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring that it maintains its performance and its safety features, its
environmental friendliness and low running costs for a long time to come.
"CYBERSECURITY" DEVICES
The car is equipped with security devices developed according to the technological standards currently applied in the
automotive industry to protect the onboard electronic systems from hacking attempts. The purpose of these security devices is
to minimise the risk of cyber-attacks or the installation of viruses or malware which could compromise the performance of the
car and/or allow stealing of personal data of the buyers and/or users and/or unauthorised dissemination of said information.
The car's purchaser must not remove, modify or tamper with these anti-hacking security devices. The Manufacturer will
therefore not be liable for negative consequences and/or damage to the vehicle and/or to the buyer and/or to third parties
deriving from the removal, modification or alteration of the security devices performed by the car's purchaser and/or user.

SYMBOLS
Some car components have coloured labels whose symbols indicate precautions to be observed when using this component.
A plate summarising these symbols can also be found under the bonnet.
1J0A2300C

CHANGES/ALTERATIONS TO THE CAR
IMPORTANT Any change or alteration of the car might seriously affect its safety and road holding, thus causing accidents, in
which the occupants could even be fatally injured.
IMPORTANT The use of these devices inside the passenger compartment (without an external aerial) may cause the electrical
systems to malfunction. This could compromise the safety of the vehicle in addition to constituting a potential hazard for
passengers' health.
IMPORTANT If mobile phones/laptops/smartphones/tablets are inside the car and/or close to the electronic key, reduced
performance of the Keyless Entry/Keyless Go system may occur.

USE OF THE OWNER HANDBOOK
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Each time direction instructions (left/right or forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are given, these must be understood as
regarding an occupant in the driver's seat.
Special cases not complying with this rule will be specified as appropriate in the text.
The figures in the Owner Handbook are provided by way of example only: this might imply that some details of the image do not
correspond to the actual arrangement of your car.
In addition, the Handbook has been conceived considering vehicles with steering wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible
that on vehicles with steering wheel on the right side, the position or construction of some controls is not exactly mirror-like with
respect to the figure.
To identify the chapter with the information needed you can consult the index at the end of this Owner Handbook.
Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedicated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd page. A few pages further there is a
key for getting to know the chapter order and the relevant symbols in the tabs. There is in any case a textual indication of the
current chapter at the side of each even page.
IMPORTANT NOTES AND PRECAUTIONS
While reading this Owner Handbook you will find a series of WARNINGS to prevent procedures that could damage your
vehicle.
There are also PRECAUTIONS that must be carefully followed to prevent incorrect use of the components of the car, which
could cause accidents or injuries.
Therefore all WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS must always be carefully followed.
IMPORTANT NOTES and PRECAUTIONS are recalled in the text with the following symbols:
personal safety;
vehicle safety;
environmental protection.
NOTE These symbols, when necessary, are indicated besides the title or at the end of the line and are followed by a number.
That number recalls the corresponding warning at the end of the relevant section.

IGNITION DEVICE
Versions with key without remote
control
The key can be turned to three different
positions: fig. 5
STOP: engine off, key can be
removed, steering column locked (with
key removed). Some electrical devices
(e.g. central door locking system,
alarm, etc.) are still available;
MAR: driving position. All electrical
devices are available;
AVV: engine starting.
3) 4)
5F1B0642
Versions with electronic key
("Keyless Go" system)
To activate the starter switch fig. 6
the electronic key must be inside the
passenger compartment.
The ignition device activates also if the
electronic key is inside the boot or on
the rear shelf.
6F1B0014C
The ignition device has the following
possible states:
STOP: engine off, steering locked.
Some electrical devices (e.g. central
door locking system, alarm, etc.) are
still available;
MAR: driving position. All electrical
devices are available. This state can be
entered by pressing the ignition device
button once, without pressing the
brake pedal (versions with automatic
transmission) or the clutch pedal
(versions with manual gearbox);
AVV: engine starting.
NOTE The ignition device does NOT
activate if the electronic key is inside
the boot and this is open.
NOTE With the ignition device at
MAR, if 30 minutes pass with the
vehicle stationary (versions with manual
gearbox) or with the gear lever at
P (Park) (versions with automatic
transmission) and the engine stopped,
the ignition device will automatically
move to the STOP position.
NOTE With the engine running, it is
possible to go away from the car taking
the electronic key with you. The engine
will still be running. The vehicle will
indicate the absence of the key on
board when the door is closed.
NOTE If the device does switch off the
engine, refer to the “Display” paragraph
in the “Knowing the instrument panel”
chapter, where available, and contact
the Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

For more information on the engine
start-up, see the description in the
"Starting the engine" paragraph, in the
"Starting and driving" chapter.
5) 6)
STEERING LOCK
Activation
Versions with key without remote
control : with the device at STOP,
remove the key and turn the steering
wheel until it locks.
IMPORTANT If the ignition key has
been moved from the MAR to the
STOP position, the steering lock
cannot engage until the key is removed
from the ignition device.
Versions with electronic key : the
steering lock engages when the driver
door is opened, with the ignition device
button at STOP and speed 3 km/h.
Turning off
Versions with key without remote
control : slightly moving the steering
wheel, turn the key to the MAR
position.
Versions with electronic key : the
steering lock disengages when the
ignition device is pressed and the
electronic key is recognised.
7) 8)
WARNING
3) If the ignition device has been tampered
with (e.g. attempted theft), have it checked
over by a Fiat Dealership before driving
again.
4) Always take the key with you when
you leave your car to prevent someone
from accidentally operating the controls.
Remember to engage the electric parking
brake. Never leave children unattended in
the car.
5) It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
modifications (e.g.: installation of
anti-theft device) that could badly affect
performance and safety, invalidate
the warranty and also result in non-
compliance of the car with type-approval
requirements.
6) Never extract the mechanical key while
the car is moving. The steering wheel will
automatically lock as soon as it is turned.
This holds true for cars being towed as
well.
7) Before exiting the car, ALWAYS engage
the parking brake, steer the wheels,
engage the first gear if uphill and the
reverse if downhill. On versions with
automatic transmission, bring the gear
lever to P (Park) and press the ignition
device to bring it to STOP. If the vehicle is
parked on a steep slope, chock the wheels
with wedges or stones. When leaving the
car, always lock all the doors by pressing
the dedicated button on the handle (see
"Keyless Entry" in the paragraph "Doors").
8) For versions equipped with the Full
Keyless System, do not leave the
electronic key inside or near the car or in a
place accessible to children. Do not leave
the vehicle with the ignition device in MAR
position. A child could activate the electric
window winders, other controls or even
start the vehicle.
FIAT CODE
The Fiat Code system prevents
unauthorised use of the car, disabling
engine starting.
The system does not need to be
enabled/activated: operation is
automatic, regardless of the fact that
the vehicle's doors are locked or
unlocked.
When the ignition device is set to MAR,
the Fiat Code system identifies the
code transmitted by the key. If the
code is recognised as valid, the Fiat
Code system enables engine starting.
When the ignition device is brought
back to STOP, the Fiat Code system
deactivates the control unit controlling
the engine, thus preventing its starting.
For the correct engine starting
procedures, see the instructions in
the "Starting the engine" paragraph,
"Starting and driving" chapter.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
14
IRREGULAR OPERATION
If, during starting, the key code is not
correctly recognised, the icon is
displayed on the instrument panel (see
the instructions in the "Warning lights
and messages" paragraph, "Knowing
the instrument panel" chapter). This
condition leads to the engine switching
off after 2 seconds. In this case, bring
the ignition device to STOP and then
to MAR; if it is still blocked, try with
the other keys provided. If it is still not
possible to start the engine, contact a
Fiat Dealership.
If the icon is displayed while driving,
this means that the system is running
a self-diagnosis (e.g. due to a voltage
drop). If the display persists, contact a
Fiat Dealership.
ALARM SYSTEM
Activation of the alarm triggers the
acoustic warning and the direction
indicators.
IMPORTANT The alarm is adapted

flashes on the instrument panel.
7F1B0643
The activation of the alarm is preceded
by a self-diagnosis stage: if a fault is
detected, the system emits a further
acoustic warning.
Locking the doors without engaging
the alarm is also always possible by
locking the doors by putting the metal
insert of the key inside the driver side
door lock.
IMPORTANT If the doors are unlocked
by putting the metal insert into the
