Fiat 500L 2012, Owner'S Handbook Manual

Page: 80 / 348

When the ECO function is activated, the car is set
for city driving, characterised by less effort on the
steering wheel (Dualdrive system on) and reduced
fuel consumption.
When the function is activated, an activation or
deactivation message is shown on the display for
some versions/markets.
This function stays in the memory, so when the
vehicle is started again, the system keeps the setting
it had before the engine was stopped. Press the
ECO button again to deactivate the function and
restore the normal driving setting.
FUEL CUT-OFF SYSTEM
This intervenes in the event of an impact causing:
❒
the interruption of the fuel supply with the engine
consequently cutting out

indicated by a message shown on the display.
IMPORTANT Carefully check the car for fuel leaks,
for instance in the engine compartment, under
the car or near the tank area. After a collision, turn
the ignition key to STOP to prevent the battery from
running down.
