Fiat 124 Spider (2019 year). Instruction - page 12
Caution!
Always check the depth of the standing
water before driving through it. Never drive
through standing water that is deeper than
the bottom of the tire rims mounted on the
vehicle.
Determine the condition of the road or
the path that is under water and if there
are any obstacles in the way before driving
through the standing water.
Do not exceed 5 mph (8 km/h) when
driving through standing water. This will
minimize wave effects.
Driving through standing water may
cause damage to your vehicle’s drivetrain
components. Always inspect your vehicle’s
fluids (i.e., engine oil, transmission, axle,
etc.) for signs of contamination (i.e., fluid
that is milky or foamy in appearance) after
driving through standing water. Do not
continue to operate the vehicle if any fluid
appears contaminated, as this may result
in further damage. Such damage is not
covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
Getting water inside your vehicle’s
engine can cause it to lock up and stall
out, and cause serious internal damage to
the engine. Such damage is not covered
by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Overloading
Note: Be careful not to overload your
vehicle. The gross axle weight rating
(GAWR) and the gross vehicle weight
rating (GVWR) of the vehicle are on the
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard Label on
the driver's door frame. Exceeding
these ratings can cause an accident or
vehicle damage. You can estimate the
weight of the load by weighing the
items (or people) before putting them in
the vehicle.
Driving On Uneven Road
Your vehicle's suspension and
underbody can be damaged if driven
on rough/uneven roads or over speed
bumps at excessive speeds.
Use care and reduce speed when
traveling on rough/uneven roads or over
speed bumps.
Use care not to damage the vehicle's
underbody, bumpers or muffler(s) when
driving under the following conditions:
Ascending or descending a slope
with a sharp transition angle.
Ascending or descending a driveway
or trailer ramp with a sharp transition
angle.
This vehicle is equipped with low profile
tires allowing class-leading performance
and handling. As a result, the sidewall
of the tires are very thin and the tires
and wheels can be damaged if driven
through potholes or on rough/uneven
roads at excessive speeds.
Use care and reduce speed when
traveling on rough/uneven roads or
through potholes.

HAZARD WARNING
LIGHTS
Control
The Hazard Warning Lights should
always be used when you stop on or
near a roadway in an emergency.
The Hazard Warning Light switch is
located on the center instrument panel
below the radio. Push the switch to turn
the Hazard Warning Lights on or off.
Note: The Hazard Warning Lights warn
other drivers that your vehicle is a traffic
hazard and that they must take extreme
caution when near it.
When the switch is pushed, the Hazard
Warning Lights are active and all
directional turn signals will flash on and
off to warn oncoming traffic of an
emergency. Push the switch a second
time to turn off the Hazard Warning
Lights. The hazard warning indicator
lights in the instrument cluster will flash
simultaneously.
Note:
The turn signals do not work while
the Hazard Warning Lights are
activated.
Check local regulations about the
use of Hazard Warning Lights while the
vehicle is being towed to verify that it is
not in violation of the law.
If the brake pedal is pressed while
driving on slippery roads, the
emergency stop signal system could
operate causing all of the directional
turn signals to flash.
While the emergency stop signal
system is operating, all of the
directional turn signals automatically
flash rapidly to caution the driver of a
vehicle following behind of a sudden
braking situation.
REPLACING A BULB
General Instructions
Warning!
Before proceeding with the replacement
of the lamp wait until the exhaust pipes are
cool: DANGER OF BURNS!
Modifications or repair of the electrical
system performed incorrectly and without
taking into account the technical
characteristics can cause malfunctions
with the risk of fire.
Halogen lamps contain gas under
pressure, in the event of breakage be
careful of the projection of fragments of
glass.
Halogen lamps must be handled by
touching only the metallic part. If the
transparent bulb is in contact with the
fingers, reduces the intensity of the
emitted light and you can also affect the
life of the lamp. In case of accidental
contact, rub the bulb with a cloth
dampened with alcohol and allow to dry.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before replacing a bulb check the
contacts for oxidation.
Replace blown bulbs with others of
the same type and power.
After replacing a headlight bulb,
always check its alignment.
To replace the bulb, contact your
authorized dealer.
When a light is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before replacing the bulb. For the
location of fuses, refer to the section on
“Replacing Fuses” in this chapter.
Caution!
Use the protective cover and carton for the
replacement bulb to dispose of the old
bulb promptly and out of the reach of
children.
Note:
When removing the lens or light unit
using a flathead screwdriver, make
sure that the flathead screwdriver does
not contact the interior terminal. If the
flathead screwdriver contacts the
terminal, a short circuit may occur.
When the weather is cold or damp
or after heavy rain or washing, the
surface of headlights or rear lights may
steam up and/or form drops of
condensation on the inside. This is a
natural phenomenon due to the
difference in temperature and humidity
between the inside and the outside of
the glass which does not indicate a
fault and does not compromise the
normal operation of lighting devices.
The mist disappears quickly when the
lights are turned on, starting from the
center of the diffuser, extending
progressively towards the edges.

REPLACING FUSES
General Information
Warning!
When replacing a blown fuse, always
use an appropriate replacement fuse with
the same amp rating as the original fuse.
Never replace a fuse with another fuse of
higher amp rating. Never replace a blown
fuse with metal wires or any other material.
Do not place a fuse inside a circuit breaker
cavity or vice versa. Failure to use proper
fuses may result in serious personal injury,
fire and/or property damage.
Before replacing a fuse, make sure that
the ignition is off and that all the other
services are switched off and/or
disengaged.
If the replaced fuse blows again, contact
an authorized dealer.
If a general protection fuse for safety
systems (air bag system, braking system),
power unit systems (engine system,
transmission system) or steering system
blows, contact an authorized dealer.
Your vehicle's electrical system is
protected by fuses.
If any lights, accessories, or controls do
not work, inspect the appropriate circuit
protector. If a fuse has blown, the inside
element will be melted. If the same fuse
blows again, go to an authorized dealer
as soon as possible.

Fuse location
Fuses are grouped together in two fuse
boxes located in the interior on the left
side of the vehicle and under the hood.
Interior Fuses
If the electrical system does not work,
first inspect the fuses on the vehicle's
left side.
Proceed as follows:
1. Make sure the ignition is placed in
the OFF mode, and other switches are
turned off.
2. Open the fuse panel cover (located
near the door).
3. Press retaining clip and remove
protection cover.
4. Pull the fuse straight out with the
fuse puller provided on the fuse block
located in the engine compartment.
5. Inspect the fuse and replace it if it is
blown.
6. Insert a new fuse of the same
amperage rating, and make sure it fits
tightly. If it does not fit tightly, contact
your authorized dealer. If you have no
spare fuses, borrow one of the same
rating from a circuit not essential to
vehicle operation, such as the audio or
outlet circuit.
7. Reinstall the cover and make sure
that it is securely installed.
Note: Always replace a fuse with a
genuine FCA fuse or equivalent of the
same rating. Otherwise you may
damage the electric system.

block in the engine compartment. If a
fuse is blown, it must be replaced.
Make sure the ignition is placed in the
OFF mode, and other switches are
turned off and remove the fuse block
cover. If the lock is forcefully opened,
the fuse block cover may come in
contact with the frame when it is
removed and become scratched.
When removing the cover, remove it
slowly according to the following
procedure:
1. Disengage the rear lock by pressing
down on the front tab with your fingers.
2. Remove the front tab while slightly
lifting the front of the cover.
3. Remove the cover while lifting it and
sliding it to the rear.
4. If any fuse but the main fuse is
blown, replace it with a new one of the
same amperage rating.
5. Reinstall the cover and make sure
that it is securely installed.
