How to Emergency Start the Fiat 500X

Model: Fiat 500 500 X - Years 2014-2022
Part: Key

In today's video, you will learn how to emergency start the Fiat 500X. This procedure is specifically for models equipped with keyless entry, meaning without a physical key; particularly when the car key's battery is flat or at an insufficient charge level that prevents starting. This is indicated on the Fiat's onboard computer. Once inside the car, what you need to do is very simple: bring the key close to the start & stop button (the one you use to start the car), and after a few seconds, the vehicle will recognise the key and start.
