Fiat 124 Spider (2019 year). Manual — part 7
Key Left-In-Vehicle Warning Beep
(with the advanced keyless function)
If a key fob is left in the vehicle and all
the doors and the trunk are locked
using a separate key fob, a beep sound
is heard for about ten seconds to
remind the driver that the key fob has
been left in the vehicle.
If this happens, open the door and
remove the key fob. A key fob removed
from the vehicle this way may not
function because its functions may
have been temporarily suspended.
Perform the applicable procedure to
restore the functions of the key fob (see
paragraph “Keys” in “Getting To Know
Your Vehicle” chapter).
Vehicle Speed Alarm — If Equipped
The vehicle speed alarm function is
designed to alarm the driver via a single
beep sound and a warning indication in
the instrument cluster that the
previously set vehicle speed has been
exceeded.
You can change the vehicle speed
setting at which the warning is triggered
(see paragraph “Trip Computer” in
“Getting To Know Your Vehicle”
chapter).
Tire Inflation Pressure Warning
Beep — If Equipped
Vehicle With Conventional Tires: the
warning beep sound will be heard for
about three seconds when there is any
abnormality in tire inflation pressures
(see “TPMS” in “Safety” chapter).
Vehicle With Run-Flat Tires (If
Equipped): the warning beep sound will
be heard for about three seconds if the
tire pressures decrease. If the tire
pressure decreases extremely, a beep
sound will be heard for approximately
30 seconds (see “TPMS” in “Safety”
chapter).
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
System Warning Beep — If
Equipped
Driving Forward: the warning beep
operates when the direction indicator
lever is operated to the side where the
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning
light is illuminated.
Note: A personalized function is
available to change the Blind Spot
Monitoring (BSM) warning beep sound
volume.

ONBOARD
DIAGNOSTIC
SYSTEM — OBD II
Your vehicle is equipped with a
sophisticated Onboard Diagnostic
system called OBD II. This system
monitors the performance of the
emissions, engine, and automatic
transmission control systems. When
these systems are operating properly,
your vehicle will provide excellent
performance and fuel economy, as well
as engine emissions well within current
government regulations.
If any of these systems require service,
the OBD II system will turn on the
Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL). It will
also store diagnostic codes and other
information to assist your service
technician in making repairs. Although
your vehicle will usually be drivable and
not need towing, see your authorized
dealer for service as soon as possible.
Caution!
Prolonged driving with the MIL on could
cause further damage to the emission
control system. It could also affect fuel
economy and driveability. The vehicle must
be serviced before any emissions tests
can be performed.
If the MIL is flashing while the vehicle is
running, severe catalytic converter damage
and power loss will soon occur. Immediate
service is required.
Onboard Diagnostic
System (OBD II)
Cybersecurity
Your vehicle is required to have an
Onboard Diagnostic system (OBD II)
and a connection port to allow access
to information related to the
performance of your emissions
controls. Authorized service technicians
may need to access this information to
assist with the diagnosis and service of
your vehicle and emissions system.
Warning!
ONLY an authorized service technician
should connect equipment to the OBD II
connection port in order to read the VIN,
diagnose, or service your vehicle.
If unauthorized equipment is connected
to the OBD II connection port, such as a
driver-behavior tracking device, it may:
Be possible that vehicle systems,
including safety related systems, could be
impaired or a loss of vehicle control could
occur that may result in an accident
involving serious injury or death.
Access, or allow others to access,
information stored in your vehicle systems,
including personal information.
For further information, refer to
“CyberSecurity” in “Tips, Controls, and
General Information” in your Owner’s
Manual Radio Supplement.

EMISSIONS
INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE
PROGRAMS
In some localities, it may be a legal
requirement to pass an inspection of
your vehicle's emissions control
system. Failure to pass could prevent
vehicle registration.
For states that require
an Inspection and
Maintenance (I/M), this
check verifies the
“Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL)” is functioning and is not on
when the engine is running, and that
the OBD II system is ready for testing.
Normally, the OBD II system will be
ready. The OBD II system may not be
ready if your vehicle was recently
serviced, recently had a dead battery or
a battery replacement. If the OBD II
system should be determined not ready
for the I/M test, your vehicle may fail the
test.
Your vehicle has a simple ignition
actuated test, which you can use prior
to going to the test station. To check if
your vehicle's OBD II system is ready,
you must do the following:
1. Cycle the ignition switch to the ON
position, but do not crank or start the
engine.
Note:
If you crank or start the engine,
you will have to start this test over.
2. As soon as you cycle the ignition
switch to the ON position, you will see
the “Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)”
symbol come on as part of a normal
bulb check.
3. Approximately 15 seconds later, one
of two things will happen:
The MIL will flash for about ten
seconds and then return to being fully
illuminated until you turn OFF the
ignition or start the engine. This means
that your vehicle's OBD II system is not
ready and you should not proceed to
the I/M station.
The MIL will not flash at all and will
remain fully illuminated until you place
the ignition in the off position or start
the engine. This means that your
vehicle's OBD II system is ready and
you can proceed to the I/M station.
If your OBD II system is not ready, you
should see an authorized dealer or
repair facility. If your vehicle was
recently serviced or had a battery failure
or replacement, you may need to do
nothing more than drive your vehicle as
you normally would in order for your
OBD II system to update. A recheck
with the above test routine may then
indicate that the system is now ready.
Regardless of whether your vehicle's
OBD II system is ready or not, if the MIL
is illuminated during normal vehicle
operation you should have your vehicle
serviced before going to the I/M station.
The I/M station can fail your vehicle
because the MIL is on with the engine
running.

SAFETY SYSTEMS
The vehicle has the following safety
systems:
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
Traction Contol System (TCS)
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
For the operation of the systems, see
the following pages.
ABS System (Anti-lock
Braking System)
The ABS control unit continuously
monitors the speed of each wheel. If
one wheel is about to lock up, the ABS
responds by automatically releasing
and reapplying that wheel's brake. The
driver will feel a slight vibration in the
brake pedal and may hear a chattering
noise from the brake system. This is
normal ABS system operation.
Continue to depress the brake pedal
without pumping the brakes. The
warning light turns on when the system
has a malfunction. Refer to “Warning
Lights And Messages” in “Getting To
Know Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
Note:
Braking distances may be longer on
loose surfaces (snow or gravel, for
example) which usually have a hard
foundation. A vehicle with a normal
braking system may require less
distance to stop under these
conditions because the tires will build
up a wedge of surface layer when the
wheels skid.
The sound of the ABS operating
may be heard when starting the engine
or immediately after starting the
vehicle; however, it does not indicate
a malfunction.
Warning!
The ABS contains sophisticated
electronic equipment that may be
susceptible to interference caused by
improperly installed or high output radio
transmitting equipment. This interference
can cause possible loss of anti-lock
braking capability. Installation of such
equipment should be performed by
qualified professionals.
Pumping of the Anti-Lock Brakes will
diminish their effectiveness and may lead
to a collision. Pumping makes the
stopping distance longer. Just press firmly
on your brake pedal when you need to
slow down or stop.
The ABS cannot prevent the natural
laws of physics from acting on the vehicle,
nor can it increase braking or steering
efficiency beyond that afforded by the
condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or
the traction afforded.
The ABS cannot prevent collisions,
including those resulting from excessive
speed in turns, following another vehicle
too closely, or hydroplaning.
The capabilities of an ABS equipped
vehicle must never be exploited in a
reckless or dangerous manner that could
jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety of
others.
TCS System (Traction
Control System)
Warning!
The capability of the TCS must never be
tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in
such a way as to compromise personal
safety and the safety of others.
The Traction Control System (TCS)
enhances traction and safety by
controlling engine torque and braking.
When the TCS detects driving wheel
slippage, it can lower engine torque and
operate the brakes to prevent loss of
traction. This means that on a slick
surface, the engine adjusts
automatically to provide optimum
power to the drive wheels, limiting
wheel spin and loss of traction.
The indicator light turns on when the
system has a malfunction. Refer to
“Warning Lights And Messages” in
“Getting To Know Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.
114
SAFETY
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TCS / DSC Indicator Light
The
indicator light stays on for a few
seconds when the ignition is placed in
the ON mode.
If the TCS or DSC is operating, the
indicator light flashes.
If the
indicator light stays on, the
TCS, DSC or the brake assist system
may have a malfunction and they may
not operate correctly. Contact your
authorized dealer.
Note:
In addition to the indicator light
flashing, a slight sound will come from
the engine. This indicates that the
TCS/DSC is operating properly.
On slippery surfaces, such as fresh
snow, it will be impossible to achieve
high rpm when the TCS is on.
DSC System (Dynamic
Stability Control)
The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
automatically controls braking and
engine torque in conjunction with
systems such as ABS and TCS to help
control side slip when driving on
slippery surfaces, or during sudden or
evasive maneuvering, enhancing vehicle
safety. Refer to “ABS System (Antilock
Brake System)” and “TCS System
(Traction Control System)” in this
chapter for further information.
DSC operation is possible at speeds
greater than 12 mph (20 km/h).
The indicator light turns on when the
system has a malfunction. Refer to
“Warning Lights And Messages” in
“Getting To Know Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.
Note: The DSC may not operate
correctly unless the following are
observed:
Use tires of the correct size
specified for your vehicle on all four
wheels.
Use tires of the same manufacturer,
brand and tread pattern on all four
wheels.
Do not mix worn tires.
Note: The DSC may not operate
correctly when tire chains are used.
TCS / DSC Indicator Light
The
indicator light stays on for a few
seconds when the ignition is placed in
the ON mode. It also illuminates when
the DSC OFF switch is pressed and
TCS/DSC is switched off.
If the light stays on, the TCS, DSC or
the brake assist system may have a
malfunction and they may not operate
correctly. Take your vehicle to an
authorized dealer.
DSC OFF Indicator Light
The
indicator light stays on for a few
seconds when the ignition is placed in
the ON mode. It also illuminates when
the DSC OFF switch is pressed and
TCS/DSC is switched off.
If the light remains illuminated and the
TCS/DSC is not switched off, contact
your authorized dealer. The DSC may
have a malfunction.
DSC OFF Switch
Push the switch to turn off the
TCS/DSC. The
indicator light in the
instrument cluster will illuminate. Push
the switch again to turn the TCS/DSC
back on. The indicator light will turn off.
Note:
When DSC is on and you attempt
to free the vehicle when it is stuck, or
drive it out of freshly fallen snow, the
TCS (part of the DSC system) will
activate. Depressing the accelerator
05060301-12A-001
DSC OFF Switch
115
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
will not increase engine power and
freeing the vehicle may be difficult.
When this happens, turn off the
TCS/DSC.
If the TCS/DSC is off when the
engine is turned off, it automatically
activates when the ignition is placed in
the ON mode.
Warning!
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) cannot
prevent the natural laws of physics from
acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase
the traction afforded by prevailing road
conditions. DSC cannot prevent accidents,
including those resulting from excessive
speed in turns, driving on very slippery
surfaces, or hydroplaning. DSC also
cannot prevent accidents resulting from
loss of vehicle control due to inappropriate
driver input for the conditions. Only a safe,
attentive, and skillful driver can prevent
accidents. The capabilities of an DSC
equipped vehicle must never be exploited
in a reckless or dangerous manner which
could jeopardize the user’s safety or the
safety of others.
Vehicle modifications, or failure to
properly maintain your vehicle, may
change the handling characteristics of your
vehicle, and may negatively affect the
performance of the DSC system. Changes
to the steering system, suspension,
braking system, tire type and size or wheel
size may adversely affect DSC
performance. Improperly inflated and
unevenly worn tires may also degrade
DSC performance. Any vehicle
modification or poor vehicle maintenance
that reduces the effectiveness of the DSC
system can increase the risk of loss of
vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal
injury and death.
AUXILIARY DRIVING
SYSTEMS
Blind Spot Monitoring
(BSM) System
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)
system is designed to assist the driver
during lane changes by alerting the
driver to the presence of vehicles
approaching from the rear in an
adjacent lane.
The system detects vehicles
approaching from the rear while
traveling forward at a speed of 19 mph
(30 km/h) or faster, and will activate the
BSM warning lights equipped within the
door mirrors.
If the turn signal lever is operated to
signal a lane change in the direction in
which the warning light is illuminated,
the system warns the driver of a vehicle
in the detection area by flashing the
warning light and activating an audible
alert.
The detection area on this system
covers the driving lanes on both sides
of the vehicle and from the rear part of
the doors to about 164 ft (50 m) behind
the vehicle.
116
SAFETY
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

driving for long periods on inclines
during warm weather.
The battery voltage has decreased.
If the warning light in the instrument
cluster remains illuminated, have the
vehicle inspected at an authorized
dealer as soon as possible.
Note: Under the following conditions,
the rear radar sensors cannot detect
objects, or it may be difficult to detect
them:
A vehicle is in the detection area at
the rear in an adjacent driving lane but
it does not approach. The BSM system
determines the condition based on
radar detection data.
A vehicle is traveling alongside your
vehicle at nearly the same speed for an
extended period of time.
Vehicles approaching in the
opposite direction.
A vehicle in an adjacent driving lane
is attempting to pass your vehicle.
A vehicle is in an adjacent lane on a
road with extremely wide driving lanes.
The detection area of the rear radar
sensors is set at the road width of
expressways.
In the following cases, the activation of
the BSM warning lights and the audible
alert may not occur, or they may be
delayed:

Immediately after pushing the BSM
switch and the system becomes
operable.
If the road width is extremely narrow,
vehicles two lanes over may be
detected. The detection area of the rear
radar sensors is set according to the
road width of expressways.
The BSM warning lights may turn on in
reaction to stationary objects on the
road or the roadside such as guardrails,
tunnels, sidewalls, and parked vehicles.
A BSM warning light may flash or the
audible alert may be activated several
times when making a turn at a city
intersection.
Turn off the BSM system while pulling a
trailer or while an accessory such as a
bicycle carrier is installed to the rear of
the vehicle. Otherwise, the radar’s
sound system waves will be blocked
causing the system to not operate
normally.
In the following cases, it may be difficult
to view the illumination/flashing of the
BSM warning lights equipped on the
door mirrors:
Snow or ice is adhering to the door
mirrors.
The door glass is fogged or covered
in snow, frost or dirt.
The system switches to the Rear Cross
Traffic Alert function when the gear
selector is shifted to the REVERSE
position.
BSM Warning Lights
The BSM warning lights are equipped
on the left and right door mirrors.

If the switch is pushed again, the BSM
and RCTA systems become operable
and the BSM off indicator light turns off.
Note:
When the ignition is cycled OFF, the
condition before the system was
turned off is maintained. For example,
if the ignition is cycled OFF while the
BSM and RCTA systems are
operational, the BSM and RCTA
systems remain operational the next
time the ignition is cycled ON.
The BSM and RCTA systems are
turned off when the battery is
disconnected such as when the
battery terminals or fuses have been
removed and reinstalled. To turn the
BSM and RCTA systems back on,
push the BSM switch.
RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert)
Function
The RCTA system is designed to assist
the driver in checking the area to the
rear of the vehicle on both sides while
the vehicle is in REVERSE by alerting
the driver to the presence of vehicles
approaching the rear of the vehicle.
The RCTA system detects vehicles
approaching from the left and right
sides of the vehicle while the vehicle is
reversing out of a parking space, and
notifies the driver of possible danger
using the BSM warning lights and an
audible alert.
RCTA Operation
The RCTA system operates when the
gear selector is shifted to the REVERSE
position.
If there is the possibility of a collision
with an approaching vehicle, the BSM
