Remote Start - If Equipped - Fiat 500X 2021 Owner's Manual

NOTE:
If the ignition switch does not change with the
push of a button, the key fob may have a low or
depleted battery. In this situation, a back up
method can be used to operate the ignition
switch. Put the nose side (side opposite of the
emergency key) of the key fob against the
START/STOP ignition button and push to
operate the ignition switch.
WARNING!
When leaving the vehicle, always 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.
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.
WARNING! (Continued)
Do not leave the key fob in or near the

vehicle, or in a location accessible to chil-
dren, and do not leave the ignition in the ON
or RUN mode. 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.
An unlocked vehicle is an invitation for
thieves. Always remove key fob from the
vehicle and lock all doors when leaving the
vehicle unattended.
NOTE:
For more information on proper engine starting
procedures, see Ú page 85.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
REMOTE START — IF EQUIPPED
This system uses the key fob to start
the engine conveniently from outside
the vehicle while still maintaining
security. The system has a range of
approximately 328 ft (100 m).
Remote start is used to defrost windows in cold
weather, and to reach a comfortable climate in
all ambient conditions before the driver enters
the vehicle.
NOTE:
Obstructions between the vehicle and key fob
may reduce this range.
WARNING!
Do not start or run an engine in a closed

garage or confined area. Exhaust gas
contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is
odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide is
poisonous and can cause serious injury or
death when inhaled.
Keep key fobs away from children. Opera-

tion of the Remote Start system, windows,
door locks or other controls could cause
serious injury or death.
