OWNER HANDBOOK

Dear Customer,

Thank you for choosing Abarth and congratulations on your choice of a Abarth.
We prepared this booklet to enable you to know each detail of your Abarth and use it correctly. Please, read it carefully

before driving your car. You will find information, tips and important warnings regarding the driving of your car to help you derive
the maximum from the technological features of your Abarth.

You are recommended to read carefully the warnings and indications, marked with the respective symbols:

personal safety;

the car’s wellbeing;

environmental protection.

The enclosed Warranty Booklet lists the services that Abarth offers to its Customers:

❒

the Warranty Certificate with terms and conditions for maintaining its validity

❒

the range of additional services available to Abarth Customers.

Best regards and happy motoring!

The special features of the new 500 Abarth make the car captivating through its unmistakeable appearance,

stylish yet traditional and, at the same time, practical in terms of performance and safety thanks to the new

elements that have been introduced. The miniskirts, the rear spoiler and the inclined connector to the underbody

improve the drag coefficient, the geometry and road holding at speed. The twin exhaust pipes are fitted at the

sides of the incline at the specular outlets of a single transversely mounted silencer. The front and rear

symmetrical air intakes are practical and the first ones allow the flow of air for cooling the two specular

intercoolers, while the second ones permit the outlet of the flow at the rear. The introduction of the TTC

system (Torque Transfer Control), which improves the transfer of engine torque to the wheels, makes the

vehicle safer and more pleasant to drive, especially when cornering. Comfort is improved thanks to the introduction

of the anti-roll bar which involves a reduction in shock absorber pressure thereby making the vehicle less rigid.

Every feature of the 500 Abarth passenger compartment, from the turbo analogue pressure gauge, the

steering wheel with three spokes and shaped grips, the aluminium pedal assembly, the gear lever with an

SYMBOLS

Special coloured labels have been attached
near or actually on some of the compo­nents of your car. These labels bear sym­bols that remind you of the precautions
to be taken as regards that particular com­ponent.

The inner surface of the engine bonnet in­cludes a label with the different symbols
used.

THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM

This is an electrical engine locking system
which increases protection from attempt­ed theft of the car. It is automatically acti­vated when the ignition key is extracted.

Each time the car is started turning the ig­nition key to MAR, the Fiat CODE system
control unit sends a recognition code to
the engine control unit to deactivate the in­hibitor.

If, during ignition, the code is not correctly
recognized, the light
instrument panel.

In this case, turn the key to the STOP po­sition and then to the MAR position; if it
is still locked, try again with the other keys
that come with the vehicle. If you have
still not managed to start the engine, con­tact an Abarth Dealership.

IMPORTANT Each key has its own code
which must be stored by the system ECU.
Contact the Abarth Dealership to have
new keys (up to eight) stored with the
code.

IGNITION
SWITCH fig. 7

The key can be turned to 3 different po­sitions:

❒

STOP: engine off, key extractable,
steering locked. Some electrical devices
(e.g. car radio, central door locking sys­tem, etc.) are enabled

❒

MAR: driving position. All electrical de­vices are enabled

❒

AVV: engine start.

The ignition switch is fitted with a safety sys­tem that, if the engine does not start, forces
to return the ignition key to STOP before
repeating the starting operation.

STEERING COLUMN LOCK

Engaging

When the key is at STOP, remove the key
and turn the steering wheel until it locks.

Disengaging

Rock the steering wheel slightly as you
turn the ignition key to MAR.

WARNING

Never extract the key while

the vehicle is moving. The
steering wheel would be locked as
soon as the steering wheel is turned.
This also applies to when the car is
towed.

It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
whatever after-market operation in­volving steering system or steering col­umn modifications (e.g.: installation
of anti-theft device) that could badly
affect performance and safety, cause
the lapse of warranty and also result
in non-compliance of the car with ho­mologation requirements.

Analogue pressure gauge
for turbocharger pressure

The car is equipped with a pressure gauge
for measuring the turbocharger pressure
by means of the analogue indicator A.

CD

Note The turbocharger supercharging
pressure reading on the pressure gauge
should never exceed 1 – 1.2 bar even in
the case of sporty driving and maximum
performance.

A warning light B in the pressure gauge
signals the ideal time to change gear.

The gear change indication (arrow point­ing upwards and words SHIFT UP) displays
a suggestion to change up to a higher gear.

F0S0010Ab

With the ignition in the MAR position, the
gear change indication lights up and goes
out together with the instrument panel
warning lights. Afterwards, the letter N
and the words SHIFT UP light up each
time there is a suggestion to change to a
higher gear.

Note The light signalled provided by the
instrument depends on the driving mode
selected.

With the SPORT mode on, the signalling
is only activated at the maximum speed
and therefore less frequently.

With the NORMAL mode activated, the
signalling is affected by driving economy
and therefore may be less frequent, at low
speeds as well.

TRIP COMPUTER

General features

The “Trip computer” is used to display in­formation on car operation when the key
is turned to MAR. This function allows to
define two separate trips called “Trip A”
and “Trip B” for monitoring the car’s
“complete mission” in a reciprocally in­dependent manner.

Both functions are resettable (reset - start
of new mission).

“Trip A” shall be used to display the fig­ures relating to:

– Range

– Trip distance

– Average consumption

– Instant consumption

– Average speed

– Travel time (driving time).

“Trip B” shall be used to display the fig­ures relating to:

– Trip distance B

– Average consumption B

– Average speed B

– Travel time B (driving time).

Note “Trip B” functions may be exclud­ed (see “Trip B on”). “Range” and “In­stantaneous consumption” cannot be re­set.

Values displayed

Range

The distance that can be travelled with the
fuel in the tank is displayed, with the the­ory that driving will continue in the same
conditions. The display will show the read­ing “----” when the following events take
place:

– value lower than 50 km (or 30 mi)

– the car is parked with the engine run­ning for a long time.

IMPORTANT The range depends on sev­eral factors: driving style (see “Driving
style” in “Starting and driving”), type of
route (motorway, urban cycle, mountain
roads, etc…), conditions of use of the car
(load, tyre pressure, etc…). Trip planning
must take into account the above notes.

Distance travelled

This value shows the distance covered
from the start of the new mission.

Average consumption

This value shows the approximate aver­age consumption from the start of the
new mission.

Instant consumption

This indicates the fuel consumption. The val­ue is constantly updated. The message
“----” will appear on the display if the car is
parked with the engine running.

operate the lever D (movement e) and
lift the backrest (movement f) until you
hear it snapping in position.

WARNING Using the lever D before
locking the seat in the initial position caus­es the loss of the seat initial position. In
that case, it is necessary to adjust the seat
position by means of the longitudinal ad­justment fig. 16.

The type of reattachment manoeuvre has
been chosen to guarantee the safety of the
occupant. In effect, if the mechanism de­tects an obstacle (e.g. a bag) and cannot
restore the seat to its original position, it
allows the reattachment of the actual seat,
positioning the backrest only, ensuring
that the guides are attached.

To lower the head restraint, press button
B. The specific shape of the head restraint
interferes with the correct rest of the
