Lifting The Vehicle; Wheels And Tyres - Fiat 500X Owner's Handbook Manual

79) Vehicles equipped with a catalytic
converter must be exclusively supplied with
unleaded petrol. Leaded petrol would
permanently damage the catalytic
converter and eliminate its ability to reduce
polluting emissions, seriously
compromising the engine performance,
which would be irreparably damaged. If the
engine does not work correctly, especially
if it starts irregularly or if there is a reduction
of its performance, immediately go to a
Fiat Dealership. Prolonged and faulty
operation of the engine may cause
overheating of the catalytic converter and,
as a consequence, possible damage to
it and the vehicle.
80) Using a gearbox fluid different from the
prescribed one may compromise
gearshifting quality and/or cause
anomalous vibration of the gearbox.

Important
The use of snow chains should be in
compliance with local regulations of
each country. In certain countries, tyres
marked with code M+S (Mud and
Snow) are considered as winter
equipment; therefore their use is
equivalent to that of the snow chains.
The snow chains may be applied only
to the front wheel tyres.
Check the tension of the snow chains
after the first few metres have been
driven.
