Fiat 500 - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat 500 500 L - Years 2012-2023
Part: Gearbox
Operation: How does the Dualogic automatic transmission of the Fiat 500L work?

In this video, we see how the automatic transmission of the Fiat 500L works: naturally, without a clutch, we will only use the right foot. We will see all the gear changes displayed on the instrument panel: When the car is in "N" (neutral), the handbrake must be pulled up because it does not have a "P" function. I start the engine with the transmission in "N", foot on the brake, and release the "neutral" so that the transmission automatically shifts into "automatic" mode, and it is indicated on the panel as "A1": we take our foot off the brake and press the accelerator, and the car changes gears by itself. It can also be used in sequential mode by clicking the knob inward. The display shows "M" which stands for "manual". We shift gears by pressing the knob towards "+", and to downshift, we have to press "-"; at any time, we push it outward to put it back in automatic mode. Reverse gear is engaged like a normal reverse gear, simply releasing the transmission will return it to automatic mode. To stop and exit, we go to neutral and then pull up the handbrake, turning off the vehicle.

How to reset the TPMS light of the Volkswagen Polo 2011

The orange tire light indicates the presence of one or more tires with an inflation pressure below the recommended limit. All this is easily solved by inflating them correctly or replacing them in the event of a puncture. After carrying out these operations it is necessary to reset the warning light and therefore also the sensor in order to have new reading data. All you have to do is start the car ignition and then fully open the glove compartment on the passenger side. Locate the two buttons in the right corner and press "Set". At this point the reset is complete and you can turn off the ignition.
