Fiat 500l 2020 Owner's Manual
2020 FIAT® 500L OWNER’S MANUAL
The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle. Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, resulting in an accident and
personal injury. FCA US LLC strongly recommends that the driver use extreme caution when using any device or feature that may take their attention off the
road. Use of any electrical devices, such as cellular telephones, computers, portable radios, vehicle navigation or other devices, by the driver while the vehicle is
moving is dangerous and could lead to a serious accident. Texting while driving is also dangerous and should never be done while the vehicle is moving. If you
nd yourself unable to devote your full attention to vehicle operation, pull off the road to a safe location and stop your vehicle. Some states or provinces
prohibit the use of cellular telephones or texting while driving. It is always the driver’s responsibility to comply with all local laws.

10 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
IGNITION SWITCH
The ignition switch can be turned to three
different positions:
STOP (OFF/LOCK): engine off, key can be
removed. Some electrical devices (e.g. sound
system, central door locking system, etc.) can
operate.
NOTE:
The transmission must be shifted into PARK
before the key is turned to the STOP (OFF/LOCK)
position. Then, the key can be removed.
AVV (START): engine start-up.
MAR (ACC/ON/RUN): driving position. All elec-
trical devices are enabled.
If the key is turned to the STOP (OFF/LOCK)
position before shifting into PARK, the key will
have to be moved to the driving MAR (ACC/ON/
RUN) position and back to STOP (OFF/LOCK).
Then, the key can be removed.
Ignition Switch
1 — STOP (OFF/LOCK)
2 — MAR (ACC/ON/RUN)
3 — AVV (START)
WARNING!
Before exiting a vehicle, always shift the auto-
matic transmission into PARK or the manual
transmission into FIRST gear or REVERSE,
apply the parking brake, then turn the engine
OFF, remove the key fob from the vehicle and
lock your vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle.
(Continued)
WARNING! (Continued)
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unat-
tended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seriously
or fatally injured. Children should be warned
not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal
or the gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to children. A child could operate power windows,
other controls, or move the vehicle.
Do not leave children or animals inside
parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat
build-up may cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
An unlocked vehicle is an invitation. Always
remove the key from the ignition and lock all
doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 11
Key-In-Ignition Reminder
If the driver's door is opened when the key is in
the ignition and the ignition switch is in the
STOP (OFF/LOCK) position, a signal will sound
to remove the key.
SENTRY KEY
The Sentry Key Immobilizer system prevents
unauthorized vehicle operation by disabling the
vehicle. The system does not need to be armed
or activated. Operation is automatic, regardless
of whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked.
The system uses ignition keys which have an
embedded electronic chip (transponder) to
prevent unauthorized vehicle operation. Therefore, only keys that are programmed to the
vehicle can be used to start and operate the
vehicle.
NOTE:
A key which has not been programmed is also
considered an invalid key, even if it is cut to fit the
ignition switch lock cylinder for that vehicle.
If the vehicle security light is on after the key is
turned to the MAR (ACC/ON/RUN) position, it
indicates that there is a problem with the electronics.
CAUTION!
Always remove the Sentry Key from the
vehicle and lock all doors when leaving the
vehicle unattended.
The Sentry Key Immobilizer system is not
compatible with some aftermarket remote
starting systems. Use of these systems may
result in vehicle starting problems and loss of
security protection.
All of the keys provided with your new vehicle
have been programmed to the vehicle electronics.
Key Programming
Programming key fobs may be performed at an
authorized dealer.
Replacement Keys
Only keys that have been programmed to the
vehicle electronics can be used to start the
vehicle. Once a Sentry Key has been
programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be
programmed to any other vehicle. When having
the Sentry Key Immobilizer system serviced,
bring all vehicle keys with you to an authorized
dealer.

VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM
The vehicle security alarm monitors the vehicle
doors for unauthorized entry and the ignition
switch for unauthorized operation. While the
vehicle security alarm is armed, interior
switches for door locks and liftgate release are
disabled. If something triggers the alarm, the
vehicle security alarm will provide the following
audible and visible signals: the horn will pulse,
the park lamps and/or turn signals will flash,
and the vehicle security light on the instrument
panel will flash.
To Arm The System

and exit the vehicle.
2. With all doors and liftgate closed, lock the
door using the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
key fob.
3. The horn will sound and the vehicle security light on the central lock/unlock button
on the dashboard will switch on for approximately three seconds. This shows that the
vehicle security alarm is about to arm.
During this period, if a door is opened, or
the ignition switch is turned to MAR (ACC/
ON/RUN), or the power door locks are
unlocked in any manner, the vehicle security alarm will automatically disarm. After
approximately three seconds, the vehicle
security light will flash. This shows that the
vehicle security alarm is fully armed.
The activation of the vehicle security alarm is
followed by a self-diagnosis stage. If a fault is
detected during the self-diagnosis stage, the
horn will sound a second time.
If the horn sounds a second time, check that all
doors, the hood, and the liftgate are closed
correctly, and then rearm the system.
If the vehicle security alarm sounds the horn a
second time even when all doors, hood and liftgate are correctly closed, a fault has occurred in
the operation of the system. Contact an authorized dealer.
NOTE:
The vehicle security alarm with not arm when the
mechanical key is used on a single door lock
cylinder.
To Disarm The System
Push unlock on the key fob, or insert the key
into the ignition switch and turn the ignition
switch to the MAR (ACC/ON/RUN) position.
NOTE:
The vehicle security alarm will not disarm when
the metal insert of the key is used on a single
door lock cylinder.
The vehicle security alarm is designed to protect
your vehicle; however, you can create conditions where the vehicle security alarm will arm
unexpectedly. If you remain in the vehicle and
lock the doors with the key fob, once the vehicle
security alarm is armed, when you pull the door
handle to exit, the alarm will sound. If this
occurs, push the unlock button on the key fob to
disarm the vehicle security alarm.

Central Lock/Unlock (Switch Safe Lock Device) — If Equipped
This safety device prevents the operation of the
interior door handles and the door locking/
unlocking button.
It prevents the opening of the doors from inside
the passenger compartment, serving as an
obstacle to break-in attempts (e.g. broken
window).
We recommend that you activate the Safe Lock
device each time the vehicle is parked.
Safe Lock Device Location
Activating The Safe Lock Device
The Safe Lock device is enabled on all the doors
by quickly double-pushing the lock button on
the key fob.
The direction indicators flash three times and
the LED above the button flashes to indicate
that the Safe Lock device has been activated. If
one or more of the doors are not closed
correctly, the Safe Lock device will not activate,
preventing a person from getting stuck inside
the passenger compartment by entering the car
through, and then closing, the open door.
Deactivating The Safe Lock Device
The Safe Lock device deactivates automatically:
By pushing the unlock button on the key fob.
By placing the ignition in the MAR (ACC/ON/
RUN) position.
