Technical Specifications -> Brake System for Your Fiat 500 L 4 Door First Generation (2012-2022)

292 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS  
IDENTIFICATION DATA  
Vehicle Identification Number  
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is found on the  
left front corner of the instrument panel, visible through  
the windshield. This number also appears engraved on the  
right front floor pan under the passenger seat, on an  
adhesive label applied to the right door opening on the  
B-Pillar, on the vehicle registration and title.  
Stamped VIN Location  
NOTE: It is illegal to remove or alter the VIN.  
BRAKE SYSTEM  
Your vehicle is equipped with dual hydraulic brake sys-  
tems. If either of the two hydraulic systems loses normal  
capability, the remaining system will still function. How-  
ever, there will be some loss of overall braking effective-  
ness. You may notice increased pedal travel during appli-  
cation, greater pedal force required to slow or stop, and  
potential activation of the Brake Warning Light.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 293  
In the event power assist is lost for any reason (i.e.,  
repeated brake applications with the engine OFF) the  
brakes will still function. However, the effort required to  
brake the vehicle will be much greater than that required  
with the power system operating.  
**Use only an authorized dealer recommended lug nuts/  
bolts and clean or remove any dirt or oil before tightening.  
Inspect the wheel mounting surface prior to mounting the  
tire and remove any corrosion or loose particles.  
WHEEL AND TIRE TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  
Proper lug nut/bolt torque is very important to ensure that  
the wheel is properly mounted to the vehicle. Any time a  
wheel has been removed and reinstalled on the vehicle, the  
lug nuts/bolts should be torqued using a properly cali-  
brated torque wrench using a high quality six sided (hex)  
deep wall socket.

Tighten the lug nuts/bolts in a star pattern until each  
nut/bolt has been tightened twice. Ensure that the socket is  
fully engaged on the lug nut/bolt (do not insert it half-  
way).
