Questions
Where can I get the Fiat 500 owner's manual?
Fiat publishes owner's manuals on its official owner site (fiatusa.com). Choose the 500 and your model year, or sign in with your VIN so the manual matches your trim.
Is the manual the same for every 500 year?
No. Manuals are written for each model year and the 500 spans 2012–2019. Equipment, infotainment and maintenance intervals change between years and generations, so always use the edition for your year.
How do I check recalls on a Fiat 500?
Use the recall checker on this page, which searches NHTSA's recall database by model year. Recalls apply to specific VINs, so confirm with a Fiat dealer or at nhtsa.gov/recalls using your 17 character VIN.
