2017 FIAT SPIDER ABARTH battery

Read This Carefully REFUELING Only refuel with unleaded gasoline with a recommended rating of 91 octane. A rating less than 87 octane is not acceptable. Do not use
gasoline containing methanol or ethanol E85. Using these mixtures may cause misfiring and handling issues, as well as damage fundamental
components of the fuel supply system.
STARTING THE ENGINE If equipped with a manual transmission : Be sure that the parking brake is engaged; place the gear selector in NEUTRAL, fully depress the
clutch pedal without pressing the accelerator, and then push the ignition button. The engine will start as soon as the ignition is pushed.
If equipped with an automatic transmission : Be sure that the parking brake is engaged and that the gear selector is in PARK (P) or
NEUTRAL (N), depress the brake pedal, and then push the ignition button. The engine will start as soon as the ignition is pushed.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the vehicle on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other
flammable material: fire hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT The vehicle is equipped with a system that carries out a continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to help protect the
environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES Contact your authorized dealer if you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery) after buying the
vehicle. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle's electric system can support the required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICING Correct maintenance of the vehicle is essential for ensuring that it maintains its performance and its safety features, its environmental
friendliness and low running costs are unchanged over time.

Vehicle Modifications / Alterations Warning!Any change or alteration of the vehicle might seriously affect its safety and road holding, thus causing accidents, in which the occupants
could be fatally injured.
ACCESSORIES PURCHASED BY THE OWNER
If after buying the vehicle, you decide to install electrical accessories that require a permanent electrical supply (e.g. radio,
satellite anti-theft system, etc.) or accessories that burden the electrical supply, contact your authorized dealer, whose
personnel will check whether the vehicles's electrical system is able to withstand the load required , or whether it needs to be
integrated with a more powerful battery.
Note: Use only floor mats that leave the pedal area unobstructed and that are firmly secured so that they cannot slip out of
position and interfere with the pedals or impair safe operation of your vehicle in other ways.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Emergency Operation For Starting
The Engine
If the key warning light (red) illuminates,
or the keyless ignition start indicator
light (amber) flashes, this could indicate
that the engine may not start using the
usual starting method. Contact an
authorized dealer as soon as possible.

force-started. push and hold the
keyless ignition START/STOP button
until the engine starts.
Other procedures necessary for starting
the engine such as having the key fob
in the vehicle, and depressing the
clutch pedal (manual transmission) or
the brake pedal (automatic
transmission) are required.
Key Fob Cautions

communication devices such as cellular
phones.
The key fob contacts or is covered
by a metal object. The key fob is near electronic
devices such as personal computers.
Non-FCA genuine electronic
equipment is installed in the vehicle.
There is equipment which discharges
radio waves near the vehicle.
The key fob may consume battery
power excessively if it receives
high-intensity radio waves. Do not place
the key fob near electronic devices
such as televisions or personal
computers.
To avoid damage to the key fob, DO
NOT:
Drop the key fob.
Get the key fob wet.
Disassemble the key fob unless
replacing battery.
Expose the key fob to high
temperatures on places such as the
instrument panel or engine
compartment, under direct sunlight.
Expose the key fob to any kind of
magnetic field.
Place heavy objects on the key fob.
Put the key fob in an ultrasonic
cleaner.
Put any magnetized objects close to
the key fob. General Information

IGNITION SWITCH Push Button Start
Positions
The system operates only when the key
fob is within operational range.
Each time the keyless ignition
START/STOP button is pushed, the
ignition cycles in the order of OFF, ACC,
and ON. Pushing the START/STOP
button again from ON position cycles
the ignition to the OFF position.
Note:
The engine starts by pushing the
keyless ignition START/STOP button
while depressing the clutch pedal
(manual transmission) or the brake
pedal (automatic transmission). To
change the ignition position, push the
keyless ignition START/STOP button
without depressing the clutch or brake
pedal. Do not leave the ignition in the ON
position while the engine is not
running, doing so could result in the
battery being discharged. If the ignition
is left in ACC position (for automatic
transmission, the gear selector is in the
P position, and the ignition is in ACC),
the ignition cycles to the OFF position
automatically after about 25 minutes.
OFF
The power supply to electrical devices
turns off and the keyless ignition start
indicator light (amber) also turns off. In
the OFF position, the steering wheel is
locked.
ACC (Accessory)
Some electrical accessories will operate
and the indicator light (amber)
illuminates. In the ACC position, the
steering wheel is unlocked.
The Keyless Entry System does not
function while the keyless ignition has
been placed in the ACC position, and
the doors will not lock/unlock even if
they have been locked manually.
ON
This is the normal running position after
the engine is started.
Note: The indicator light (amber) turns
off (the indicator light amber illuminates
when the ignition has been placed in
the ON position and the engine is not
running). Some indicator lights/warning lights
should be inspected before the engine
is started.
When the keyless ignition has been
placed in the ON position, the sound of
the fuel pump motor operating near the
fuel tank can be heard. This does not
indicate an abnormality.
Warning! Never use the PARK position as a
substitute for the parking brake. Always
apply the parking brake fully when exiting
the vehicle to guard against vehicle
movement and possible injury or damage.
When leaving the vehicle, always make
sure the ignition is in the OFF mode,
remove the key fob from the vehicle, and
lock your vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing
children to be in a vehicle unattended is
dangerous for a number 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 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 in
the ACC or ON/RUN mode. A child could
operate power windows, other controls, or
move the vehicle.05010101-L12-001AB

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Be sure the parking brake is fully
disengaged before driving; failure to do so
can lead to brake failure and a collision.
Always fully apply the parking brake
when leaving your vehicle, or it may roll and
cause damage or injury. Also be certain to
leave the transmission in PARK. Failure to
do so may allow the vehicle to roll and
cause damage or injury.
Driving the vehicle with the parking brake
engaged, or repeated use of the parking
brake to slow the vehicle may cause
serious damage to the brake system.
