keyless FIAT 124 SPIDER ABARTH 2017 2.G Owners Manual

RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND MOBILE PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile phones, CB radios, amateur radio etc.) cannot be used inside the vehicle unless a
separate aerial is mounted externally.
Transmission and reception of these devices may be affected by the shielding effect of the vehicle body. As far as the use of
EC-approved mobile phones is concerned (GSM, GPRS, UMTS, LTE), follow the usage instructions provided by the mobile
phone Manufacturer.
The use of these devices inside the vehicle (without an external aerial) may cause the electrical systems to malfunction. This
could compromise the vehicle safety in addition to constituting a potential hazard for passengers' health.
If mobile phones/laptops/smartphones/tablets are inside the vehicle and/or close to the electronic key, a reduced performance
of the Advanced Keyless Entry System may occur.
CELL PHONE WARNING
IMPORTANT: Please comply with the legal regulations concerning the use of communication equipment in vehicles in your
country. Use of any electrical devices such as cell phones, computers, portable radios, vehicle navigation or other devices by
the driver while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. Dialing a number on a cell phone while driving also ties-up the driver's
hands. Use of these devices will cause the driver to be distracted and could lead to a serious accident. If a passenger is unable
to use the device, pull off the right-of-way to a safe area before use. If use of a cell phone is necessary despite this warning, use
a hands-free system to at least leave the hands free to drive the vehicle. Never use a cell phone or other electrical devices while
the vehicle is moving and, instead, concentrate on the full-time job of driving.

IGNITION SWITCH
Push Button Start
Positions
The system operates only when the key
fob is within operational range.
Each time the keyless ignition

button again from ON position cycles
the ignition to the OFF position.
Note:
The engine starts by pushing the
keyless ignition START/STOP button
while depressing the clutch pedal
(manual transmission) or the brake
pedal (automatic transmission). To
change the ignition position, push the keyless ignition START/STOP button
without depressing the clutch or brake
pedal.
Do not leave the ignition in the ON
position while the engine is not
running, doing so could result in the
battery being discharged. If the ignition
is left in ACC position (for automatic
transmission, the gear selector is in the
P position, and the ignition is in ACC),
the ignition cycles to the OFF position
automatically after about 25 minutes.
OFF
The power supply to electrical devices
turns off and the keyless ignition start
indicator light (amber) also turns off. In
the OFF position, the steering wheel is
locked.

Some electrical accessories will operate
and the indicator light (amber)
illuminates. In the ACC position, the
steering wheel is unlocked.
The Keyless Entry System does not
function while the keyless ignition has
been placed in the ACC position, and
the doors will not lock/unlock even if
they have been locked manually.
ON
This is the normal running position after
the engine is started. Note:
The indicator light (amber) turns off (the
indicator light amber illuminates when
the ignition has been placed in the ON
position and the engine is not running).
Some indicator lights/warning lights
should be inspected before the engine
is started.
When the keyless ignition has been
placed in the ON position, the sound of
the fuel pump motor operating near the
fuel tank can be heard. This does not
indicate an abnormality.
Warning!
Never use the PARK position as a
substitute for the parking brake. Always
apply the parking brake fully when parked
to guard against vehicle movement and
possible injury or damage.
When leaving the vehicle, always make
sure the ignition is in the OFF mode,
remove the key fob from the vehicle, and
lock your vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle,
or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle
unattended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be
seriously or fatally injured. Children should
be warned not to touch the parking brake,
brake pedal or the transmission gear
selector.
