Hiya.

We have just had delivered a new Fiat 500e La Prima, which we love. But some how i have activated a setting where the car beeps the horn when locking. Scanned the handbook etc but cant find the answer. Any ideas? Thanks

Probably better raising in the 500e specific section. However, I believe it's in the car settings somewhere.

Yes it's in the settings page under doors and locks. You have to select the bottom left option "Vehicle" and then the settings tab within that. Be aware there is a known issue with the 500e switching this setting and others back, which is a right pain.

Ok. Sorted thanks..

 

@Bobbybarlow You might want to also check the units (mph to kph) and the charging speed (defaults to 3) as we’ve found both of these change when this rouge reset happens. Assuming you‘ll want mph and the speed up to 5.

 

Thanks for the advice

 

Got my car back from dealer,no issues,but recommended to alternate from range and normal mode so brakes are getting pumped more,especially with poor road conditions just now.Also got a software update and charge to 100%,nice.They are going to get back to me on a service plan,what they actually do in a service and if it is actually worth it. Will update.

 

Mine is still at the dealers with 'electrical issues' that they're getting permission from fiat to do an extended diagnosis of. This morning, the anti collision braking system failed on the way to the dealers. When it came back on line the car emergency stopped so something is amiss.

I have a courtesy 500e and it's detecting traffic signs and then converting them into kph. So it sees a 30 sign and tells me to drive at 18.......

 

That's definitely not great,need to keep us updated.I am having an issue with adaptive cruise control at night.When I have auto high beam and adaptive cruise on,it seems to kick off adaptive cruise so then the car obviously slows down rapidly and the high beam comes on which is not good for oncoming traffic.Also seems to happen when I am facing a line of oncoming traffic.Also noticed if u don't use auto high beam,the adaptive cruise works fine,weird,I do like the auto high beam though, works perfect.

 

Yes, they asked to hold onto it for a couple of days to test a few things like 12v battery drain which causes issues with other fiats and software updates. I'm swapping back on Wednesday because the boot on the rag top isn't any use for my work.

 

So, Fiat Italy recognise the issue as a necessary fix and apparently will have an ECU software update in the next couple of weeks or so. It will be a dealer fix, not an over the air update.

 

Thanks @gazz_bee! Hopefully I can convince the dealer to install it before I collect the car.

 

Are you referring to Gen2?

 

That would be my guess Jim. Far as I'm aware your version was only sold in the US ( California).

The current version went on sale here in the UK in 2021 it doesn't have much in common with the older US version except perhaps the badging.
