2020 FIAT 124 SPIDER warning light

WARNING
149)Always set the selector lever to P and
set the parking brake. Only setting the
selector lever to the P position without
using the parking brake to hold the vehicle
is dangerous. If P fails to hold, the vehicle
could move and cause an accident.
150)If the engine is running faster than
idle, do not shift from N or P into a driving
gear. It's dangerous to shift from N or P
into a driving gear when the engine is
running faster than idle. If this is done, the
vehicle could move suddenly, causing an
accident or serious injury.
151)Do not shift into N when driving the
vehicle. Shifting into N while driving is
dangerous. Engine braking cannot be
applied when decelerating which could
lead to an accident or serious injury.
152)Do not use engine braking on slippery
road surfaces or at high speeds. Shifting
down while driving on wet, snowy, or
frozen roads, or while driving at high
speeds causes sudden engine braking,
which is dangerous. The sudden change in
tire speed could cause the tires to skid.
This could lead to loss of vehicle control
and an accident.153)Do not let the vehicle move in a
direction opposite to the direction selected
by the selector lever. Do not let the vehicle
move backward with the selector lever in a
forward position, or do not let the vehicle
move forward with the selector lever in the
reverse position. Otherwise, the engine
may stop, causing the loss of the power
brake and power steering functions, and
make it difficult to control the vehicle which
could result in an accident.
CRUISE CONTROL
This is an electronically controlled
driving assistance device that allows the
desired vehicle speed to be maintained,
without having to press the accelerator
pedal.
This device can be used at a speed
above 40 km/h on long stretches of dry,
straight roads with few variations (e.g.
motorways).
It is therefore not recommended to use
this device on extra-urban roads with
traffic. Do not use it in town.

interfere with or change the set speed.
Take your foot off the accelerator to
return to the set speed.
RESUME SPEED
If the cruise control system temporarily
cancelled (such as by applying the
brake pedal) and the system is still
activated, the most recent set speed
will automatically resume when the
RES/+ switch is pressed.
If vehicle speed is below 40 km/h
(25 mph), increase the vehicle speed upto 40 km/h (25 mph) or more and press
the RES/+ switch.
TEMPORARILY
CANCELLING THE
SYSTEM
To temporarily cancel the system, use
one of these methods: slightly depress
the brake pedal/depress the clutch
pedal (versions with manual
transmission)/press the OFF/CANCEL
switch.
If the RES/+ switch is pressed
when the vehicle speed is 40 km/h or
higher, the system reverts to the
previously set speed.
Note
If any of the following conditions occur,
the cruise control system is temporarily
canceled:
the parking brake is applied;
Versions with Speed limiter: the
MODE switch for the adjustable speed
limiter is pressed;
Automatic transmission: the
selector lever is in the P or N position or
on versions withmanual
transmission: the shift lever is in the
neutral position;
Automatic transmission: the cruise
control cannot be cancelled while
driving in manual mode (selector lever
shifted from D to M position). Therefore,
engine braking will not be applied evenif the transaxle is shifted down to a
lower gear. If deceleration is required,
lower the set speed or depress the
brake pedal;
When the cruise control system is
temporarily canceled by even one of the
applicable cancel conditions, the speed
cannot be reset.
WARNING
154)Always turn off the cruise control
system when it is not in use: leaving the
cruise control system in an activation-ready
state while the cruise control is not in use is
dangerous as the cruise control could
unexpectedly activate if the activation
button is accidentally pressed, and result in
loss of vehicle control and an accident.
155)While travelling with the device
activated, do not move the gear lever to
neutral.
156)In the event of device faults or failures,
go to a Fiat Dealership.
157)The cruise control can be dangerous
if the system cannot keep a constant
speed. In specific conditions speed may be
excessive, resulting in the risk of losing
control of the vehicle and causing
accidents. Do not use the device in heavy
traffic or on winding, icy, snowy or slippery
roads.

Fuels - identification of vehicle
compatibility Symbol for consumer
information in accordance with the
EN16942 specification
The symbols shown below help you to
recognise the correct type of fuel to use
in your vehicle. Before proceeding with
refuelling, check the symbols inside the
fuel filler flap (where provided) and
compare them with the symbols shown
on the fuel pump (where provided).E5: Unleaded petrol containing up to
2,7% (m/m) oxygen and with maximum
5,0% (V/V) ethanol compliant with the
EN228specification.
E10: Unleaded petrol containing up to
3,7% (m/m) oxygen and with maximum
10,0% (V/V) ethanol compliant with the
EN228specification.
WARNING
162)When removing the fuel filler cap,
loosen the cap slightly and wait for any
hissing to stop, then remove it: fuel spray is
dangerous. Fuel can burn skin and eyes
and cause illness if ingested. Fuel spray is
released when there is pressure in the fuel
tank and the fuel filler cap is removed too
quickly.
163)Before refuelling, stop the engine, and
always keep sparks and flames away from
the filler neck: fuel vapour is dangerous. It
could be ignited by sparks or flames
causing serious burns and injuries.
Additionally, use of the incorrect fuel filler
cap or not using a fuel filler cap may result
in a fuel leak, which could result in serious
burns or death in an accident.164)Do not continue refuelling after the
fuel pump nozzle shuts off automatically:
continuing to add fuel after the fuel pump
nozzle has shut off automatically is
dangerous because overfilling the fuel tank
may cause fuel overflow or leakage. Fuel
overflow and leakage could damage the
vehicle and if the fuel ignites it could cause
a fire and explosion resulting in serious
injury or death.
165)Do not apply any object/plug to the
end of the filler which is not provided for
the car. The use of non-compliant
objects/plugs could cause a pressure
increase inside the tank, resulting in
dangerous situations.
166)Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel filler: fire risk.
Keep your face away from the fuel filler to
prevent breathing in harmful vapours.
167)Do not use a mobile phone near the
refuelling pump: risk of fire.

HAZARD WARNING
LIGHTS
CONTROL
Press button fig. 103 to switch the
lights on/off.
Depress the hazard warning flasher and
all the direction indicators will flash. The
hazard warning indicator light
and
in the instrument cluster flash
simultaneously.
EMERGENCY STOP
SIGNAL SYSTEM
The system turns off when it determines
that the brake pedal is released or that
an emergency braking situation no
longer exists based on the reduced
vehicle speed.
If the system determines that such a
situation is occurring, it flashes all the
direction indicators rapidly to caution
the driver of the vehicle following behind
your vehicle of the sudden braking
situation.
This system is designed to determine
whether you are depressing the brake
pedal with greater force than during
normal braking such as in a situation
requiring emergency braking.
If you bring your vehicle to a complete
stop while all the direction indicators are
flashing rapidly, the rapid flashing of all
the direction indicators changes back
to the normal flashing pattern.The emergency stop signal system
does not operate at vehicle speeds
under about 60 km/h.
If the brake pedal is depressed while
driving on slippery roads, the
emergency stop signal system could
operate causing all the direction and
lane change indicators to flash.
