2015 FIAT 500 ABARTH ignition

WARNING!
• Pedals that cannot move freely can cause loss of vehicle control and in-
crease the risk of serious personal injury.
• Always make sure that objects cannot fall into the driver foot well while the
vehicle is moving. Objects can become trapped under the brake pedal and
accelerator pedal causing a loss of vehicle control.
• Failure to properly follow floor mat installation or mounting can cause inter-
ference with the brake pedal and accelerator pedal operation causing loss of
control of the vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked ve-
hicle. Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a num-
ber of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children
should be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the shift
lever/transmission gear selector.
• Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location accessible to
children, and do not leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. A child could operate power win-
dows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
• Never use the “PARK” position as a substitute for the parking brake. Always
apply the parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle move-
ment and possible injury or damage.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.

VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the vehicle doors for unauthorized entry and
the Keyless Enter-N-Go™ START/STOP button for unauthorized operation. While
the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed, interior switches for door locks and decklid
release are disabled. If something triggers the alarm, the Vehicle Security Alarm will
provide the following audible and visible signals: the horn will pulse, the park lamps
and/or turn signals will flash, and the Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster
will flash.
To Arm:
Push the Key Fob LOCK button.
To Disarm The System:
Push the Key Fob UNLOCK button or cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position.
The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to protect your vehicle. However, you can
create conditions where the Vehicle Security Alarm will give you a false alarm. If one
of the previously described arming sequences has occurred, the Vehicle Security
Alarm will arm regardless of whether you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in
the vehicle and open a door, the alarm will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle
Security Alarm.
If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed and the battery becomes disconnected, the
Vehicle Security Alarm will remain armed when the battery is reconnected. The ex-
terior lights will flash, and the horn will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle Se-
curity Alarm.
POWER DOOR LOCKS
The vehicles power door locks are activated by moving the inside door handles.
Push or pull the driver’s door handle to lock or unlock the doors and liftgate when
the doors are closed.
SEAT BELT SYSTEMS
Lap/Shoulder Belts
• All seating positions in your vehicle are equipped with lap/shoulder belts.
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
• Position the lap belt so that it is snug and lies low across your hips, below your
abdomen. To remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up on the shoulder belt. To
loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A
snug seat belt reduces the risk of sliding under the seat belt in a collision.
• Position the shoulder belt across the shoulder and chest with minimal, if any slack
so that it is comfortable and not resting on your neck. The retractor will withdraw
any slack in the shoulder belt.

Advanced Front Air Bags
• This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and front passenger
as a supplement to the seat belt restraint systems. The Advanced Front Air Bags
will not deploy in every type of collision.
• Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to provide additional protection by supple-
menting the seat belts. Advanced Front Air Bags are not expected to reduce the
risk of injury in rear, side, or rollover collisions.
• The Advanced Front Air Bags will not deploy in all frontal collisions, including
some that may produce substantial vehicle damage — for example, some pole
collisions, truck underrides, and angle offset collisions.
• On the other hand, depending on the type and location of impact, Advanced
Front Air Bags may deploy in crashes with little vehicle front-end damage but that
produce a severe initial deceleration.
• Because air bag sensors measure vehicle deceleration over time, vehicle speed
and damage by themselves are not good indicators of whether or not an air bag
should have deployed.
• Seat belts are necessary for your protection in all collisions, and also are needed
to help keep you in position, away from an inflating air bag.
• The air bags must be ready to inflate for your protection in a collision. The Occu-
pant Restraint Controller (ORC) monitors the internal circuits and interconnecting
wiring associated with air bag system electrical components.
• The ORC turns on the Air Bag Warning Light in the instrument panel for approxi-
mately four to eight seconds for a self-check when the ignition switch is first
turned to the ON/RUN position. After the self-check, the Air Bag Warning Light
will turn off. If the ORC detects a malfunction in any part of the system, it turns on
the Air Bag Warning Light, either momentarily or continuously. A single chime will
sound to alert you if the light comes on again after initial startup.
• The ORC monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the air bag system
whenever the ignition switch is in the START or ON/RUN position. If the ignition
switch is in the OFF position or in the ACC position, the air bag system is not on
and the air bags will not inflate.
• If the Air Bag Warning Light in the instrument panel is not on during the four to
eight seconds when the ignition switch is first turned to the ON/RUN position,
stays on, or turns on while driving, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized
service center immediately.
NOTE:If the speedometer, tachometer, or any engine related gauges are not working, the Oc-cupant Restraint Controller (ORC) may also be disabled. In this condition the air bagsmay not be ready to inflate for your protection. Have an authorized dealer service the airbag system immediately.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immedi-
ately.
