Sport Mode; Speed Control - Fiat ABARTH 124 SPIDER 2019 User Manual

Note:
The accelerator pedal may initially
feel heavy as it is being pressed, then
feel lighter as it is pressed further. This
change in pedal force controls whether
or not kickdown should be performed.
While the gear selector is in the
MANUAL (M) position and the Dynamic
Stability Control (DSC) is turned off,
manual shift mode does not switch to
automatic shift mode even if the
accelerator pedal is completely pressed.
Tap the gear selector forward or
rearward to select the appropriate gear.
Climbing steep grades from a stop
To climb a steep grade from a stopped
position:
1. Press the brake pedal.
2. Shift to DRIVE (D) or M1, depending
on the load weight and grade
steepness.
3. 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.

SPORT MODE

The Sport mode increases steering
feedback to the driver with slight
increase in effort and changes the
transmission shift schedules for more
aggressive shifting. This driving mode is
useful while driving on twisty roads
where more steering precision is
desired in spirited cornering.
To activate Sport mode, toggle the
Sport Mode button forward and hold for
approximately 2 seconds. You will see
"Sport" illuminate in the Instrument
Panel cluster.

SPEED CONTROL

Speed Control
This is an electronically controlled
driving assistance feature that allows
the desired vehicle speed to be
maintained, without having to press the
accelerator pedal.
This feature can be used at a speed
above 25 mph (40 km/h) on long
stretches of dry, straight roads with few
variations, such as highways.
It is therefore not recommended to use
this feature on city roads with traffic, or
in areas where the vehicle with stop
frequently.
Activation / Deactivation
Note:
When the ignition is cycled OFF, the
system status before it was turned off is
stored. For example, if the ignition is
cycled OFF while the Speed Control is
operating, the system will be operable
when the ignition is cycled ON the next
time.
Activating Speed Control
Push the ON button located on the
right side of the steering wheel with the
other Speed Control buttons. The
warning light (amber) in the instrument
cluster will illuminate.
