2017 FIAT SPIDER ABARTH lane assist

System Activation
With the ignition switched to ACC or
OFF, pull the headlight control lever
rearward and the low beam headlights
will turn on.
The headlights turn off after a period of
time after all doors are closed.
The time until the headlights turn off
after all of the doors are closed can be
changed through the Connect system.
The headlights turn off if the lever is
pulled again while the headlights are on,
or after three minutes of no further
action after the first pull of the lever.
Front Fog Lights
The front fog light can be activated
when the ignition is in the ON position
and the headlights or parking lights are
on.
Activation
Turn the headlight switch to the
or
position.
Rotate the fog light switch to the
position. The fog light indicator in the
instrument cluster illuminates while the
front fog lights are on.
Deactivation
Perform one of the following operations
to turn off the front fog lights:
Rotate the fog light switch to the OFF
position.
Turn the headlight switch to the OFF
position.
Switch the ignition to a position other
than ON.
The
fog light indicator in the
instrument cluster goes off when the
front fog light is turned off.
With Auto-Light Control
When the fog light switch is in
position and the headlight switch is in AUTO position, the front fog lights will
stay on.
Turn Signals
The ignition must be in the ON position
to use the turn signals and lane change
assist.
Move the signal lever down (for a left
turn) or up (for a right turn). The signal
will self-cancel after the turn is
completed.
If the indicator light continues to flash
after a turn, manually return the lever to
its original position.
The turn signal indicators (green)
in the instrument cluster flash
according to the operation of the turn
signal lever to show which signal is
active.
Note: If an indicator light stays on
without flashing or if it flashes
abnormally, one of the turn signal bulbs
may be burned out.
Lane Change Assist
Move the lever halfway toward the
direction of the lane change (until the
indicator flashes) and hold it there. It will
return to the off position when released.
Three-Flash Turn Signal
After releasing the turn signal lever, the
turn signal indicator flashes three times.
The operation can be cancelled by
moving the lever in the direction
opposite to which it was operated. 05030101-132-001AB

Note:
When DSC is on and you attempt
to free the vehicle when it is stuck, or
drive it out of freshly fallen snow, the
TCS (part of the DSC system) will
activate. Depressing the accelerator
will not increase engine power and
freeing the vehicle may be difficult.
When this happens, turn off the
TCS/DSC.
If the TCS/DSC is off when the
engine is turned off, it automatically
activates when the ignition is placed in
the ON mode. Warning!Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) cannot
prevent the natural laws of physics from
acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase
the traction afforded by prevailing road
conditions. DSC cannot prevent accidents,
including those resulting from excessive
speed in turns, driving on very slippery
surfaces, or hydroplaning. DSC also cannot
prevent accidents resulting from loss of
vehicle control due to inappropriate driver
input for the conditions. Only a safe,
attentive, and skillful driver can prevent
accidents. The capabilities of an DSC
equipped vehicle must never be exploited
in a reckless or dangerous manner which
could jeopardize the user’s safety or the
safety of others.
Vehicle modifications, or failure to
properly maintain your vehicle, may change
the handling characteristics of your vehicle,
and may negatively affect the performance
of the DSC system. Changes to the
steering system, suspension, braking
system, tire type and size or wheel size
may adversely affect DSC performance.
Improperly inflated and unevenly worn tires
may also degrade DSC performance. Any
vehicle modification or poor vehicle
maintenance that reduces the effectiveness
of the DSC system can increase the risk of
loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover,
personal injury and death. AUXILIARY DRIVING
SYSTEMS Blind Spot Monitoring
(BSM) System
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
system is designed to assist the driver
during lane changes by alerting the
driver to the presence of vehicles
approaching from the rear in an
adjacent lane.
The system detects vehicles
approaching from the rear while
traveling in the forward direction at a
speed of 19 mph (30 km/h) or faster,
and will activate the BSM warning lights
equipped within the door mirrors.
If the turn signal lever is operated to
signal a lane change in the direction in
which the warning light is illuminated,
the system warns the driver of a vehicle
in the detection area by flashing the
warning light and activating an audible
alert.
The detection area on this system
covers the driving lanes on both sides
of the vehicle and from the rear part of
the doors to about 164 ft (50 m) behind
the vehicle.05060301-12A-001
