Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Fiat?

Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.

How much can my Fiat tow?

Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your 500’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your 500 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.

When should I have my 500's transmission fluid checked or exchanged?

Regularly checking and exchanging your 2014 500’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Fiat's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.

Can Fiat 500 transmission fluid leak?

Yes. Fiat 500 transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
