2017 FIAT SPIDER ABARTH maintenance reset

Settings Changing
Settings can be changed using the
following procedure:
1. Safely park the vehicle. Both doors
must remain closed.
2. Place the ignition in the ON position.
3. Push and hold the lock side of the
driver's door-lock switch within
20 seconds of placing the ignition in the
ON position, and make sure a beep
sound is heard about eight seconds
afterwards.
4. Refer to the auto lock/unlock
function setting table, determine the
function number for the desired setting.
Push the unlock side of the driver's
door-lock switch the same number of
times as the selected function number
(example: if you select function 2, push
the unlock side of the switch only two
times).
5. Three seconds after the function
setting has been changed, a beep
sound will beep in the amount of the
selected function number (example:
Function numbe r 3 = three beep
sounds).
Automatic Transmission Vehicles
The doors cannot be locked or
unlocked while the setting function is
being performed. The procedure can be cancelled by
pushing the lock side of the door-lock
switch.
Note:
The vehicle lock-out prevention
feature prevents you from locking
yourself out of the vehicle. Both doors,
trunk lid, and the fuel filler door will
automatically unlock if they are locked
using the power door locks with any
door open. If both the doors are closed
even though the trunk lid is open, both
the doors and the fuel filler door will
lock.
Door Unlock (Control) System
With Collision Detection — If
Equipped : this system automatically
unlocks the doors, trunk lid, and the
fuel filler door in the event the vehicle is
involved in an accident to allow
passengers to get out of the vehicle
immediately and prevent being trapped
inside. While the ignition is placed in
the ON position and in the event the
vehicle receives an impact strong
enough to inflate the air bags, both the
doors, the trunk lid, and fuel filler door
are automatically unlocked after about
six seconds have elapsed from the
time of the accident. The doors, trunk
lid, and the fuel filler door may not
unlock depending on how an impact is
applied, the force of the impact, and
other conditions of the accident. If
door-related systems or the battery is malfunctioning, the doors, trunk lid,
and the fuel filler door will not unlock.
When opening a door, the power
windows open a little automatically.
When closing the door, the power
windows close automatically. This is a
function for improving the sealing of
the window, and it does not mean
there is a problem. If the vehicle battery
is disconnected for vehicle
maintenance or other reasons, the
power windows will not open or close
automatically. If the power windows do
not open or close, the automatic
open/close mechanism for the
windows must be reset.

Auto-Opening Power Windows
To fully open the window automatically
push the switch completely down. To
stop the window partway pull or push
the switch in the opposite direction and
then release it. The power window
cannot be fully closed while the door is
open.
Power Window System Initialization
Procedure
If the battery was disconnected during
vehicle maintenance, or for other
reasons (such as a switch continues to
be operated after the window is
open/closed), the window will not fully
open automatically.
Resetting of the automatic function can
be performed using the master control
switches or each passenger door
switch.
The power window auto function reset
procedure can be done on both door
switches. The power window auto
function will only resume on the power
window that has been reset:
1. Close the doors and the convertible
top.
2. Place the ignition in the ON position.
3. Make sure that the power window
lock switch located on the driver's door
is not depressed.
4. Push the switch and fully open the
window. 5. Pull up the switch to fully close the
window and continue holding the
switch for about two seconds after the
window fully closed.
6. Repeat steps four and five for the
passenger power window while seated
in the passenger seat.
7. Make sure that the power windows
operate correctly using the door
switches.
After the system has been re-initialized,
passenger window can be fully opened
automatically using the master control
switches. If the automatic power
window operation does not operate
normally while the doors or convertible
top are opened/closed, reset it using
the above procedures.
Engine-Off Power Window
Operation
The power window can be operated for
about 40 seconds after the ignition has
been cycled from ON to the OFF
position with both doors closed. If any
door is opened, the power window will
stop operating.
For engine-off operation of the power
window, the switch must be held up
firmly throughout window closure
because the auto-closing function will
be inoperable.04070103-LN2-002

The convertible top may be
constricted if it is left retracted for a
long period. Therefore, if the top has
become constricted, it may be difficult
to hook the top latch striker to the
anchor.
Make sure the convertible top is
securely locked by pushing up on it. If
it still sounds loose (rattles) after being
locked by the top latch, contact an
authorized dealer.
Convertible Top
Precautions
Remove leaves or other debris that
may accumulate on and around the
convertible top. If leaves or other debris
block the drain filter, water may enter
the vehicle. Clean the drain filter at least
once a year.
Before lowering or raising the
convertible top, stop in a safe place off
of the road and park on a level surface.
When lowering the convertible top,
make sure objects inside the vehicle are
not blown away by the wind.
Secure all loose objects inside before
driving with the convertible top down. To help prevent theft or vandalism
and to ensure that the passenger
compartment stays dry, close the
convertible top securely and lock both
doors when leaving the vehicle.
The soft top is made of high quality
material and if it is not maintained
correctly, the material could harden,
becomes stained, or have an uneven
gloss.
Lowering the convertible top while
it's wet can also cause water to drip
into the cabin.
The power windows go down
automatically in conjunction with the
convertible top opening/closing.
However, this is a function for improving
the operability, and it does not mean
there is a problem. If the vehicle battery
is disconnected for vehicle maintenance
or other reasons, the power windows
will not go down automatically. If the
power windows do not go down, the
automatic open/close mechanism for
the windows must be reset.
The windblocker reduces the amount
of wind coming into the cabin from
behind when driving with the
convertible top opened.
Before starting the vehicle make sure
the convertible top is correctly locked. Caution! Before opening the convertible top,
make sure the rear window defroster
switch is turned off. Otherwise the heat
generated from the window defroster could
damage the convertible top and the internal
material.
Make sure nothing is on the convertible
top or near the back window when raising
or lowering the convertible top. Even small
objects may interfere and cause damage.
Do not drive through an automatic car
wash; it may damage the convertible top.
Do not raise or lower the convertible top
when the temperature is below 41 °F (5 °C);
this will damage the convertible top material.
Do not lower the convertible top when
it's wet. If the convertible top dries while
folded, it will deteriorate and mold.
Do not raise or lower the convertible top
in a strong wind as it could damage the
convertible top or cause an unexpected
accident.
