How to Disable the Start/Stop System in a Fiat 500X

Model: Fiat 500 500 X - Years 2014-2022
Part: Checks and maintenance

To disable the Start/Stop system in a Fiat 500X, get in the vehicle and start the engine or simply turn on the ignition. On the central console, near the gear lever, locate the button with the letter 'A' surrounded by an arrow. Press the button once: the warning light indicating the system has been disabled will appear on the dashboard. From that moment, the engine will not turn off automatically during stops. The deactivation remains valid until the vehicle is turned off; upon the next start, the system will reactivate automatically and must be disabled again using the same button if necessary.

How to Open the Bonnet on the Lancia Y

To open the bonnet on this vehicle, follow these simple instructions: first, open the driver's door and locate the lever positioned just below the dashboard, marked with an image of the vehicle with the bonnet open. Pull this lever towards you until you hear a "click" indicating the bonnet is released. Next, exit the cabin and stand in front of the bonnet to disengage the safety catch and complete the opening. To do this, slightly lift the bonnet, locate the yellow lever underneath, and pull it to the left to fully release and open the bonnet.
