2017 FIAT SPIDER ABARTH sensor

Battery life is about one year.
Replace the battery with a new one if
the Warning light (green) flashes in
the instrument cluster. Replacing the
battery about once a year is
recommended because the
Warning light may not illuminate or
flash if the battery is low or discharged.
Additional key fobs may be
obtained at an authorized dealer. Up to
six key fobs may be used with the
Advanced Keyless Entry System per
vehicle. Bring all key fobs to an
authorized dealer when additional keys
are required.
The Advanced Keyless Entry function
allows you to lock/unlock the door,
trunk lid, and fuel filler door, or open the
trunk lid while carrying the key fob. Warning!Radio waves from the key fob may affect
medical devices such as pacemakers:
before using the key fob near people who
use medical devices, ask the medical
device manufacturer or your physician if
radio waves from the key fob will affect the
device.
Note: The Advanced Keyless Entry
System functions can be deactivated to
prevent any possible adverse effect on
a user wearing a pacemaker or other
medical device. If the system is
deactivated, you will be unable to start
the engine by carrying the key fob.
Contact an authorized dealer for
details. If the Advanced Keyless Entry
System has been deactivated, you can
start the engine by following the
procedure indicated when the key fob
battery becomes discharged.
Operational Range
The system operates only when the
driver is in the vehicle or within operational range while the key fob is
being carried.
Note: When the battery power is low,
or in places where there are
high-intensity radio waves or noise, the
operational range may become
narrower or the system may not
operate. 04010202-12S-002

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Cycle the ignition off, and then restart
the engine. If the engine does not start
after three or more tries, contact an
authorized dealer.
Note:
If the warning light flashes
continuously while you are driving, do
not turn the engine OFF. Contact an
authorized dealer and have it checked.
If the engine is shut off while the
warning light is flashing, you will
not be able to restart it.
Because the electronic codes are
reset when the immobilizer system is
repaired, the keys are needed. Make
sure to bring all the key fobs to an
authorized dealer so that they can be
programmed.
Vehicle Security Alarm
System — If Equipped
If the vehicle security alarm system
detects an inappropriate entry into the
vehicle or the intrusion sensor detects
movement in the vehicle which could
result in the vehicle or its contents
being stolen, the alarm alerts the
surrounding area of an abnormality by
sounding the siren/horn and flashing
the hazard warning lights.
The system will not function unless it's
properly armed. So when you leave the
vehicle, follow the arming procedure
correctly. Siren/Horn Triggering Conditions
The siren/horn sounds intermittently
and the hazard warning lights flash for
about 30 seconds when the system is
triggered by any one of the following:
Unlocking a door with an inside
door-lock knob.
Forcing open a door, the engine
compartment or the trunk lid.
Opening the hood by operating the
hood release handle.
Placing the ignition in the ON position
without starting the engine.
With the intrusion sensor: the
intrusion sensor detects a movement in
the vehicle.
The system will be triggered again (up
to ten times) if one of the above
conditions remains.
The trunk lid will not open when the
vehicle security alarm system is
activated.
If the battery becomes drained while
the vehicle security alarm system is
armed, the siren will activate and the
hazard warning lights will flash during
the battery charging or replacement
process.

The vehicle security alarm system can
also be armed by activating the auto
re-lock function with all the doors, the
trunk lid and the engine compartment
closed.
The system will disarm if one of the
following operations takes place within
20 seconds after pushing the lock

Daytime Running Lights
(DRL)
The daytime running lights turn on
automatically when the vehicle starts
moving.
They turn off when the parking brake is
engaged or the gear selector is shifted
to the PARK position (if equipped with
automatic transmission).
Note: In some markets, the daytime
running lights can be deactivated. Refer
to “Personalization Features” in “Getting
To Know Your Instrument Panel” for
further information.
High Beams
The headlights can be switched
between high and low beams by
pushing the headlight switch lever
forward for high beams, and pulling the
lever rearward to return to low beams.
When the headlight high beams are on,
the
high beam indicator is
illuminated in the instrument cluster.
Flash To Pass
You can signal another vehicle with your
headlights by partially pulling the
headlight lever toward the steering
wheel. This will cause the high beam
headlights to turn on until the lever is
released.
The
high beam indicator in the
instrument cluster illuminates while the
high beams are active. Automatic Lighting
When the headlight switch is in the
AUTO position and the ignition is
switched ON, the light sensor will
detect the surrounding light levels and
automatically turns the headlights, other
exterior lights and dashboard
illumination on or off.
Note: Do not shade the light sensor by
placing a sticker or a label on the
windshield. Otherwise the light sensor
will not operate correctly.
The light sensor also works as a rain
sensor for the auto-wiper control. Keep
hands and scrapers clear of the
windshield when the wiper lever is in
the AUTO position and the ignition is
switched ON, as fingers could be
pinched or the wipers and wiper blades
damaged when the wipers activate
automatically. If you are going to clean
the windshield, be sure the wipers are turned off completely when the engine
is running.
Note:
The headlights, other exterior lights
and dashboard lights may not turn off
immediately even if the surrounding
area becomes well-lit because the light
sensor determines that it is night time if
the surrounding area is continuously
dark for several minutes such as inside
long tunnels, traffic jams inside tunnels,
or in indoor parking lots. In this case,
the lights turn off if the light switch is
turned to the OFF position.
When the headlight switch is in the
AUTO position and the ignition is
switched to ACC or OFF, the
headlights, other exterior lights and
dashboard illumination will turn off.
The dashboard lights can be
adjusted by rotating the knob in the
instrument cluster. The day/night mode
can be changed by rotating the knob
until a beep sound is heard.
The sensitivity of the automatic
lightsmaybechangedbyan
authorized dealer.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

With Auto-Wiper Control
When the wiper lever is in the AUTO
position, the rain sensor will sense the
amount of rainfall on the windshield and
turns the wipers on or off automatically
(off/intermittent/low speed/high speed).
Switch positions:
or MIST : operation while
pulling up lever
OFF : stop
AUTO : auto control operation
— or LO : low speed operation
= or HI : high speed operation
Adjusting Rain Sensor Sensitivity
The sensitivity of the rain sensor can be
adjusted by rotating the switch on the
wiper lever.
From the center position (normal),
rotate the switch downward for higher
sensitivity (+) (faster response) or rotate
it upward for less sensitivity (-) (slower
response). Note: Do not shade the rain sensor by
placing a sticker or a label on the
windshield. Otherwise the rain sensor
will not operate correctly.
When the wiper lever is in the AUTO
position and the ignition is switched
ON, the wipers may move automatically
in the following cases:
If the windshield above the rain
sensor is touched or wiped with a cloth.
If the windshield is struck with a hand
or other object from either outside or
inside the vehicle. Warning!Keep hands and scrapers clear of the
windshield when the wiper lever is in the
AUTO position and the ignition is switched
ON as fingers could be pinched or the
wipers and wiper blades damaged when
the wipers activate automatically.
If you are going to clean the windshield,
be sure the wipers are turned off. This is
important when clearing ice and snow.
Switching the auto-wiper lever from the
OFF to the AUTO position while driving
activates the windshield wipers once,
after which they operate according to
the rainfall amount.
The auto-wiper control may not operate
when the rain sensor temperature is
about 14 °F (–10 °C) or lower, or about
185 °F (85 °C) or higher.
If the windshield is coated with water
repellent, the rain sensor may not be
able to sense the amount of rainfall
correctly and auto-wiper control may
not operate properly. 05030101-122-001
