2018 Abarth 124 Spider rear view mirror

WARNING
34)Any adjustment of the steering wheel
position must be carried out only with the
vehicle stationary and the engine turned
off. Adjusting the steering wheel while the
vehicle is moving is dangerous. Moving it
can very easily cause the driver to abruptly
turn to the left or right. This can lead to loss
of control or an accident.
35)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any aftermarket operation involving steering
system or steering column modifications
(e.g. installation of antitheft device) that
could adversely affect performance and
safety, invalidate the warranty and also
result in the vehicle not meeting
type-approval requirements.
36)Before exiting the vehicle, ALWAYS
engage the parking brake, steer the
wheels, engage the first gear if uphill and
the reverse if downhill. If the vehicle is
parked on a steep slope, chock the wheels
with wedges or stones. When leaving the
vehicle, always lock all the doors by
pressing the button on the key.
MIRRORS
OUTSIDE MIRRORS
37)
Driver's side wide angle mirror
The wide angle mirror has two
curvatures on its surface separated by
a region line 1 fig. 13 into outer and
inner regions.
The inner region is a standard convex
mirror whereas the outer region allows
for a wider range of visibility within the
same sweep. This combination allows
for better assurance when making lane
changes.
Objects appearing in the outer region
are actually further away than they are
in the inner region.
INSIDE DAY / NIGHT
MIRROR
39)
Rearview mirror adjustment
Before driving, adjust the rearview
mirror fig. 14 to center on the view
through the rear window.

Reducing glare from headlights
Adjust the mirror with the day/night
lever in the day position.
Push the antidazzle lever 1
fig. 15 forward for day driving (A
position).
Pull it back to reduce glare of headlights
from vehicles at the rear (B position).POWER MIRRORS
The ignition must be switched to ACC
or ON position.
To adjust proceed as follows:
rotate the mirror switch to the left 1
fig. 16 (L = left) or right 2 (R = right) to
choose the left or right side mirror;
press the mirror switch in the
appropriate direction.
After adjusting the mirror, lock the
control by rotating the switch to the
center position 0 to prevent accidental
movements.
FOLDING MIRRORS
38)
Fold the outside mirror rearward
fig. 17 until it is flush with the vehicle.
WARNING
37)Be sure to look over your shoulder
before changing lanes. Changing lanes
without taking into account the actual
distance of the vehicle in the convex mirror
is dangerous. You could have a serious
accident. What you see in the convex
mirror is closer than it appears.
38)Always return the outside mirrors to the
driving position before you start driving:
driving with the outside mirrors folded in is
dangerous. Your rear view will be
restricted, and you could have an accident.

39)Do not stack cargo or objects higher
than the seatbacks: cargo stacked higher
than the seatbacks is dangerous. It can
block your view in the rearview mirror,
which might cause you to hit another car
when changing lanes.EXTERIOR LIGHTS

turn the headlights, other exterior lights
and dashboard illumination ON or OFF.

the engine is off unless safety requires
them.

DAYTIME RUNNING
LIGHTS (DRL)
40) 41)
Some countries require moving vehicles
to have their lights on (running lights)
during the daytime.
The running lights turn on automatically
when the vehicle starts moving.
They turn off when the parking brake is
operated or the selector lever is shifted
to the P position (versions with
automatic transmission).

STARTING THE
ENGINE
130) 131) 132)
24)
Before starting the engine, adjust the
seat, the interior rear view mirrors, the
door mirrors and fasten the seat belt
correctly.
Never press the accelerator pedal for
starting the engine.
For starting procedure see “Starting the
engine” in “Getting to know your
vehicle” chapter.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Proceed as follows:
park the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic; engage
a gear (versions with manual
transmission) or position the gear lever
to P (Parking) (versions with automatic
transmission);
turn the ignition device to STOP with
the engine idling.
WARNING
130)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine takes in
oxygen and releases carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.
131)The brake servo is not active until the
engine is started, so you would need to
apply much more force than usual to the
brake pedal.
132)Do not start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. These
manoeuvres may damage the catalytic
converter.
IMPORTANT
24)A quick burst on the accelerator before
turning off the engine serves absolutely no
practical purpose; it wastes fuel and is
damaging for the engine.
PARKING
Keep away the key when leaving the
vehicle and take it with you.
When parking and leaving the vehicle,
proceed as follows:
engage a gear (first gear if facing
uphill or reverse if facing downhill) and
leave the wheels turned;
stop the engine and engage the
handbrake.
Block the wheels with a wedge or a
stone if the car is parked on a steep
slope.
On versions equipped with automatic
transmission, before releasing the brake
pedal, wait for letter P to be displayed.
IMPORTANT NEVER leave the vehicle
with the gearbox in neutral (or, on
versions equipped with automatic
transmission, before placing the gear
lever at P).

parking space, continue backing up
slowly so that the distance between the
vehicle width lines and the sides of the
parking space on the left and right are
roughly equal;
continue to adjust the steering wheel
until the vehicle width guide lines are
parallel to the left and right sides of the
parking space;
once they are parallel A fig. 104,
straighten the wheels and back your
vehicle slowly into the parking space B
