When the battery of the FIAT 500X key/remote control is low, a message on the cockpit display warns. It is a good idea to change it immediately because there is a risk of having to use the mechanical key to get into the car.
Take a CR2025 battery
The procedure is very simple and this is the video:
Place the key/remote control with the "FIAT" label on top.
Slide the lever (to the right of the ring) to the right and .simultaneously pull the mechanical key.
Use the mechanical key to lift the upper part of the key/remote control.
Replace the battery type CR2025
Done!
If you have successfully changed the battery, relax with a relaxing video...

This error appeared when the 500X reached 22,000 km and had passed its second service. Symptoms: it struggled to move forward, it was jerky, it didn't reach maximum revs, when I pressed the accelerator the speedometer reached 4,000 revs very slowly and above all the problem was evident when going uphill, so much so that I couldn't do steep climbs because the car stopped before the top. Here is the message on the right-hand instrument
Here is the indication on the left instrument, engine
In fact, this error does not seem to directly affect the operation of the Star&Stop button, which is just the tip of the iceberg. The problem could, at least in my case, be traced back to dirty spark plugs and/or the coil that distributes the electricity. Today is Saturday and who knows why faults never appear on Monday... I'll take the car to the mechanic on Monday and see if my theory is confirmed.

Monday. The mechanic found the spark plugs were dirty and the coil needed to be replaced. Now the 500X runs perfectly. Good acceleration without hesitation.Total:250€ Is this a fair price?

When an EPB error appears on the dashboard of the Toyota C-HR, the car is blocked, power steering does not work, the car will not start.
Message: EPB shift interlock function activated
It is a rather rare error and, generally, after this message, other messages appear in sequence:
BSM not available
EPB not available
and also EPB shift interlock function deactivated
First attempts to turn the power off and on again usually do not produce any results.
Getting out of the car, closing the car, getting back in the car and trying to start the car again do not give any results either.
Solution?
Pull and release the automatic brake a couple of times
Get out of the car. Wait 5 minutes.
Try to start again.
Check that the key has a charged battery (you may have received the message a few days earlier: key/remote control battery to be replaced).
This error occurs when you leave the car idle for a long time and the auxiliary battery, not the main battery, is discharged, as it is smaller and less powerful.
Check the auxiliary battery from a Toyota Service Centre.

By placing an object, such as a mobile phone, between the automatic gearshift lever and the object compartment, the lever could hit the object and not end its stroke.

Problem: MOTOR cabling
As a result of vibrations, the insulation of an electric cable may be damaged. This electric cable may touch the metal cover, cause a short circuit and subsequent fire.
In addition to the vibrations, if debris or dirt accumulate on the cover, they could bypass the insulation of the electric cable, cause a short circuit and a consequent fire.
TOYOTA solution:A spacer has been inserted between the engine and the bonnet.
