2021 FIAT 124 SPIDER ECO mode

SHIFT GEAR (SHIFTING)
SPEED LIMIT
When the selector lever is operated
within the range of the speed limit, the
gear is shifted.
Shift up
The gear does not shift up while the
vehicle speed is lower than the speed
limit.
Shift down
The gear does not shift down while the
vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit.
If the vehicle speed exceeds the speed
limit and the gear does not shift down,
the gear position indication flashes
2 times to notify the driver that the gear
cannot be shifted.
Kickdown
When the accelerator pedal is
depressed fully while driving, the gear
shifts down.
However, the gears do not kickdown
while the DSC is turned off.
NOTE The gear also shifts down using
kickdown while in the second gear fixed
mode.Auto-shift down
The gear shifts down automatically
depending on the vehicle speed during
deceleration.
NOTE If the vehicle comes to a stop
while in the second gear fixed mode,
the gear remains in second.
DIRECT MODE(where provided)
Direct mode can be used for
temporarily switching gears by
operating the steering shift switch while
the vehicle is being driven with the
selector lever in the D range.
Direct mode is cancelled (released)
under the following conditions:
the UP switch (+/OFF) is pulled
rearward for a certain amount of time or
longer;
the vehicle is driven for a certain
amount of time or longer (time differs
depending on the driving conditions
while operating);
the vehicle is stopped or moving at a
slow speed.
IMPORTANT Shifting up and down
while in direct mode may not be
possible depending on the vehicle
speed. In addition, because direct
mode is cancelled (released) depending
on the rate of acceleration or if the
accelerator is fully depressed, use ofthe manual shift mode is recommended
if you need to drive the vehicle in a
particular gear for long periods.
DRIVING TIPS
152) 153)
Passing
For extra power when passing another
vehicle or climbing steep grades,
depress the accelerator fully. The
transmission will shift to a lower gear,
depending on vehicle speed.
Climbing steep grades from a stop
To climb a steep grade from a stopped
position depress the brake pedal, shift
to D or M1, depending on the load
weight and grade steepness, release
the brake pedal while gradually
accelerating.
Descending steep grades
When descending a steep grade, shift
to lower gears, depending on load
weight and grade steepness.
Descend slowly, using the brakes only
occasionally to prevent them from
overheating.

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.

while the cruise control is operating, the
system will be operable when the
ignition is switched ON the next time.
