To reset the airbag light in a FIAT 500, follow these steps: First, insert the key into the ignition and turn the switch on. Then, watch for the light to illuminate and then turn off for seven seconds. After it shuts off, turn the ignition off and wait for 3 seconds. You may need to repeat this process 1-2 times before the SRS light turns off completely when you start the engine. If the airbag light persists, it's likely due to the airbag being deployed previously. If this isn't the case or you haven't recently disconnected the battery, it's best to take your car to a dealership to ensure there are no other issues with the airbag system.
To make the airbag light in a FIAT 500 go off, start the car with the airbag light on. Keep it on for seven seconds, then turn off the car. Repeat this process two more times, and the light should remain off.
Is it turning on the ignition or starting the engine?
When the engine is started or when the engine is turned on.
What a bunch of nonsense. The only way to clear the airbag light is using specialized diagnostic tools. Relying on hope is not a viable solution.
I apologize for any confusion. Just to clarify, are you instructing to turn the ignition on, wait for 7 seconds, then turn it off and repeat the process? Or do you mean that I should start the engine first and then switch it off? Thank you for your patience.
