DEAR CUSTOMER
Dear Customer,
We would like to congratulate and thank you for choosing a Fiat 124 Spider.
We have written this Owner’s Manual to help you get to know all the features of your vehicle and use it in the best possible way.
Here you will find information, advice and important warnings regarding use of your vehicle and how to achieve the best
performance from the technical features of your vehicle.
You are advised to take the time to read these publications carefully before taking to the road for the first time, to become
familiar with the controls and above all with those concerning brakes, steering and transmission; at the same time, you can
understand the vehicle behavior on different road surfaces.
This document also provides a description of special features and tips, as well as essential information for the safe driving, care
and maintenance of your vehicle over time.
After reading it, you are advised to keep the Owner’s Manual inside the vehicle, for an easy reference and for making sure it
remains in the vehicle should it be sold.
In the attached Warranty Booklet you will also find a description of the Services that FCA offers to its customers, and the detail
of the terms and conditions for maintaining its validity.
We are sure that these will help you to get in touch with and appreciate your new vehicle and the service provided by the
people at FCA.
Enjoy reading. Happy motoring!
