Seat Recline; Heated Seats - Fiat 124 Spider Abarth 2018 User Manual

Seat Recline

To recline the seatback, lift up the
recline lever and lean back until the
desired position has been reached,
then release the lever. Make sure the
lever returns to its original position and
the seatback is locked in place by
attempting to push it forward and
rearward.
Warning!
Adjusting a seat while driving may be
dangerous. Moving a seat while driving
could result in loss of control which could
cause a collision and serious injury or
death.
Seats should be adjusted before
fastening the seat belts and while the
vehicle is parked. Serious injury or death
could result from a poorly adjusted seat
belt.
Do not ride with the seatback reclined
so that the shoulder belt is no longer
resting against your chest. In a collision
you could slide under the seat belt, which
could result in serious injury or death.

Heated Seats

On some models, the front driver and
passenger seats may be equipped with
heaters in both the seat cushions and
seatbacks. The controls for the front
20
heated seats are located on the center
instrument panel below the climate
controls.
The heated seats have three settings:
High, Medium, and Low. Push the
switch once to turn the heated seats on
High, twice for Medium, and three times
for Low. Pushing the switch a fourth
time will turn the heated seat off.
Note:
If the ignition is cycled OFF while
the seat warmer is operating (High,
Mid or Low), and then cycled ON
again, the seat warmer will
automatically operate at the
temperature set before the ignition was
cycled OFF.
Use the seat warmer when the
engine is running. Leaving the seat
warmer on for long periods with the
engine not running could discharge the
battery.
The temperature of the seat warmer
cannot be adjusted beyond High, Mid
and Low.
Once a heat setting is selected,
heat will be felt within two to five
minutes.

Warning!
Persons who are unable to feel pain to
the skin because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury,
medication, alcohol use, exhaustion or
other physical condition must exercise care
when using the seat heater. It may cause
burns even at low temperatures, especially
if used for long periods of time.
Do not place anything on the seat or
seatback that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or cushion. This may cause
the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a
seat that has been overheated could
cause serious burns due to the increased
surface temperature of the seat.
