After having spent some time with the car, I decided to make a video on top 6 useful Fiat 500 Abarth hidden features. Of course, if you've owned this car for many years, I'm sure you have found at least a few of these useful features. However, if you haven't, I really hope you find this video helpful and learn at least one or two features of your FIAT Abarth that you didn't know before. I show you how to lock the car from the inside, how the follow me home lights work, how to use a radio without key and more!

@@SimpleCarGuy I have a 500 myself and the only complaint I have with this very convenient feature is when the driver exits the car and tells a passenger to lock himself/herself inside the car. The passenger has to lean over the driver side to do so. By locking his/her passenger side door lock, he/she only locks his/her side while the driver side locks both doors. But all in all, these are great little cars with nice details. Mine is older than yours and it has some hidden storage areas, under the dashboard, under the passenger seat and on the center console which are neat as well. You got yourself a nice Abarth :)

@@SimpleCarGuy That flashing is not just to let you know that a door/hatch/trunk is not closed. It is a pre-lock status alert. If you open either door, hit that button and then close the door, the car will lock itself. The purpose is simple: You get home from the store, get out and grab your bags from the trunk. Now your hands are full and you have to fumble to lock the car. This feature removes that problem. Get out, push button, grab bags, shut hatch, car locks.

My 2017 500c Abarth doesn't have a spare, but it has the Mopar air compressor with the gel canister. The gel actually works surprisingly well after finding a nail in my tire (it brought my psi from 4 to 30 and it held well for a few days), and you can buy the can separately to replace it after it's used up. Also, the cabrio top can roll back with the key fob by holding the unlock button while outside of the vehicle.

The rear windshield wiper turning on in reverse freaked me out when I had to back out of the car wash. One you missed is a secret "track mode." If you press AND HOLD the ESC Off button for 6 -10 seconds. (its supposed to be 10, but my car is 6) it turns off both the traction control AND the stability control. Simply pressing the button only turns off traction control. Pairing this with the Sport mode button can really Up the "oof" factor in the bends.

@dominicremaro8687 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah it can amp things up quite a bit. I do wish my 1996 Firebird 5.7l V8 with insane rear wheel drive torque had ESC on it😂 would have saved me a super bad crash where I totaled it at 19 in the rain. Some folks complain about some of these safety features 2012+ cars have but it would have saved a lot of lives back then. Luckily I survived but was hurt. Still have a bad shoulder from the accident and I’m 43 now. And I destroyed a car I loved. I was getting on a freeway on-ramp that was pretty twisty and short to get up to speed. And it was first hard rain of the year and super slippery. ESC would have stopped the spin out before it started. Car ended up ripped in half by a semi truck. Had I had anyone in passenger seat they would have died.

@Malachi_Marx 2 жыл бұрын

@@dominicremaro8687 Yeah, I get you. With my 2012 Abarth I've upped the power to 196, which is more than enough for a car the size of a roller skate (but with more room for the 6'4" frame than my old 1990s Lincoln Battleship. I've added a 500Madness Go Pedal and typically run it in Eco+++ mode to save gas. (it's nice to fill up for only $30 right now.) However, we have some very short on-ramps here in Las Vegas with people doing 90+ on the highway, so it's nice to have the option to get up to speed, post haste.

I set the driver's handle to open all doors (menu option). With the key in the ignition the doors can't be locked, but I now carry a key blank... after putting the key on the passenger seat and accidentally locking myself out of the car. (I'm in the habbit of using the driver's lever to lock the car so it doesn't beep at me. Not annoying until you upgrade the whimpy horn.) I assume someone removed the air pump from your car. Some Abarth owners do silly things to cut a couple pounds from the car's weight. There is an optional spare tire for the 500 which includes a spare, a cable lift, and tools to tuck a spare underneath the rear of the car. Since these cars gobble a set of tires every 25 to 30K miles, it's a good option.

You would use the jack and lug nut tool to take off the flat tire and take it to tire repair shop. Space saver spare is a "dealer installed" option. So glad I got it. It is tucked outside, under the trunk and lowers down like a truck spare. No idea why everyone did get it added. Adds very little weight, doesn't take away usable space, and when you get a flat it is oh, so useful. Just used it again today.

Hello, here's another hidden feature on your fiat, but first let me say I have a 2013 lounge and it does have a spare tire.. that little tool bag you found under your seat is a jack for the spare tire that it comes with and that fine cool feature would be in the back Under the car., yeap , tucked away .. So Now you know and the jack is in the bag under the driver's seat AND FYI: When you go to jack up the car LOOK on the bottom of the frame and you'll see an ARROW showing you precisely where to put the jack and that's in front or in the back ( on the bottom of the frame ) You'll see it... Everything is in that bag that you'll need to jack it up.. Hope this helped out to all that didn't know this.. This is something I found myself because I figured it couldn't be anywhere else .. It's amazing because it's so well hidden.. OH, wait ! , one more thing , the car also has a gadget equivalent to a black box on a airplane.. I strongly recommend everyone to read the manual on this feature because it does some pretty cool things but there's othere features ab9ut this car that pleasantly surprised me.. READ YOUR MANUAL and know all the great features it has for you.. Anyway good luck.

A few things i would like to note: The rear wiper goes to fullspeed when reverse gear is in. It doesnt activate with intervall function. This drives me nuts. Everytime it rains i have to turn the wipers off to prevent the rear wiper from dry wiping it self to death. The radio only works for 10 or 20 minutes, if it is not disabled. You have to set that in the options of the board computer. I dont know if older models have it, but you can also activate a beeper at a certain speed to warn you when you go above that speed.

That's so funny to imagine. I worked at a well-known rental car company and it reminds me of the cars that were returned with the back wiper on at full speed because the renter didn't know how to disable it

IF THAT AINT COOL I DONT KNOW WHAT IS.. READ THE MANUAL !! IF NOT YOUR MISSING OUT.. GOOD LIUCK (I LOVE MY 2013 FIAT 500 LOUNGE)

SimpleCarGuy so I’m sure it’ll be the same in an Abarth, but on the passengers seat you pull the front of the seat and it kind of pops open, and then pull the back forwards and there’s quite a bit of storage!

@Grace-oz5ic 4 жыл бұрын

SimpleCarGuy the other one is in the glove compartment roof, so if you put your hand on the top of it, towards the front, you will feel a lever. If you push it towards you and then pull it down it’s like a secret drawer that is concealed!

Yep it auto locks after you get above around 20mph I believe. You can turn it on and off on the display with the buttons :)

@MoanikaLewinsky 3 жыл бұрын

The spare tire comes as a feature in the european version only, regardless was ensembled in Poland or Italy, the Classic does not have most of these features, only the Pop, the Abrath, The Lounge and the Gucci, the american versions are 90% ensembled in Mexico or Brazil, not in the US, I have the Lounge here in the US and it does not have the spare tire in the trunk floor either, can be added as a feature under the rear of the vehicle, but you have to custom modify it to add a tire holder!

Older cars have this feature. But most people today wouldn’t know. I’m 35 and have never heard of that but my bf said his friend had an old nova that kinda did the same.

The fog light are aimed high. You can get a ticket for blinding that cop coming towards you. And there is no way to lower the angle of those fog lights. The sun roof leaks water. The electric windows will break down when they are down. And it's a pain in the ass to get them back up. The dealer has to replace everything in the door to fix the people. The tire air pressure sensors dont work all the time. Fiat is a waste of money
