THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM

To further protect your car from theft, ithas been fitted with an engine immobilisingsystem. This system is automatically acti-vated when the ignition key is removed.

An electronic device, in fact, is fitted in eachignition key grip. The device transmits a ra-dio-frequency signal when the engine isstarted through a special aerial built into theignition switch. The modulate signal, whichchanges each time the engine is started, isthe password by means of which the con-trol unit recognises the key and enables tostart the engine.

OPERATION

Each time the car is started turning the ig-nition key to MAR, the Fiat CODE systemcontrol unit sends a recognition code tothe engine control unit to deactivate the in-hibitor.

The code is sent only if the system con-trol unit has recognised the code trans-mitted from the key.

Each time the ignition key is turned to theSTOP position, the Fiat CODE systemdeactivates the functions of the engineelectronic control unit.

If the code has not been recognised cor-rectly, the instrument panel warning lightY turns on.

SYMBOLS

Special coloured labels have been attachednear or actually on some of the compo-nents of your Fiat Panda. These labels bearsymbols that remind you of the precau-tions to be taken as regards that particu-lar component.

REV COUNTER fig. 18

The indicator B shows the engine revnumber.

IMPORTANT The electronic injectioncontrol system gradually shuts off the flowof fuel when the engine is “over-revving”resulting in a gradual loss of engine pow-er.

When the engine is idling, the rev countermay indicate a gradual or sudden higher-ing of the speed.

This is normal as it takes place during nor-mal operation, for example when activat-ing the climate control system or the fan.In particular a slow change in the speedpreserves the battery charge.

Pressing the button when the button ledis on, will deactivate compressor and turnthe button led off.

Pressing the button when the led is off willactivate compressor and turn the buttonled on.

When turning the compressor off:

❒ the system will deactivate air recircula-tion to prevent window misting up;

❒ it is not possible to admit air to the pas-senger compartment with a tempera-ture below the outside temperature(the displayed temperature value willflash when the system cannot guaran-tee the required comfort conditions);

❒ the fan speed can be set to zero man-ually (with compressor on, the fanspeed cannot be lower that one bar onthe display).

AUTOMATIC CLIMATECONTROL SYSTEM(where provided)According to the temperature set by theuser, the climate control system auto-matically adjusts:❒ temperature of the air sent to the pas-

senger’s compartment;❒ fan speed (continuous air flow varia-

tion);❒ air distribution in the passenger’s com-

partment;❒ compressor activation / deactivation (to

cool / dehumidify air);❒ air recirculation on / off.The system continuously works to keep con-stant the comfort inside the passenger com-partment and to compensate any variationof the outside climate conditions.All the above functions can be changedmanually by selecting the required func-tion/s and by changing the set parameters.Manual setting does not impair automat-ic control of the other functions althoughthe AUTO button led is off.Manual selections prevail over automaticones and remain in storage until the userdecides to resume automatic control bypressing button AUTO (except when thesystem cuts in for particular safety condi-tions).

ROLSWINDOW WASHING

The right stalk fig. 52 controls windscreenwiper/washer and heated rear windowwiper/washer operation.

WINDSCREEN WASHER/WIPER

The device can only work when the igni-tion key is at MAR.

The stalk can be moved to five differentpositions (4 speed levels):A windscreen wiper off.B intermittent.C continuous slow.D continous fast.E fast temporary (unstable position).Fast temporary operation is limited to thetime the lever is held in this position.When the lever is released it returns toposition A automatically stopping thewiper.

Windscreen wiper slowing downaccording to car speed (where provided)On certain versions, when deceleratinguntil stopping the car will make the wind-screen wiper to slow down automatical-ly. Speed will be resumed automaticallywhen the car speed exceeds 10 km/h. Thewindscreen speed can be changed manu-ally at any moment.

“Smart washing” functionPulling the stalk towards the steeringwheel (unstable position) operates thewindscreen washer.Keeping the stalk pulled, with just onemovement, it is possible to operate thewasher jet and the wiper at the same time;indeed, the latter comes into action au-tomatically if the stalk is pulled for morethan half a second. The wiper stops work-ing a few strokes after releasing the stalk;a further “cleaning stroke”, after a few sec-onds, completes the wiping operation.

“FOLLOW ME HOME” DEVICE

This function allows the illumination of thespace in front of the car.

Activation

With the ignition key at STOP or re-moved, pull the left-hand stalk towards thesteering wheel and operate it within 2minutes from when the engine is turnedoff.

At each single movement of the stalk, thestaying on of the lights is extended by 30seconds up to a maximum of 210 seconds,then the lights are switched off automati-cally.

Each time the lever is operated, the warn-ing light 3 on the instrument cluster willcome on and the display will show thetime of activation.

The warning light comes on the first timethe lever is operated and will stay on upto automatic function deactivation. Eachoperation of the lever will extend lightsswitching on time.

Deactivation

Keep the stalk pulled towards the steer-ing wheel for more than 2 seconds.

,

F0G0127mfig. 52

Never use the window wiperto remove ice or snow fromthe windscreen. In these con-ditions, the wiper is submitted

to excessive effort that results in mo-tor protection cutting in and wiper op-eration inhibition for few seconds as aconsequence. If operation is not re-stored contact Fiat Dealership.

FRONT CEILING LIGHT fig. 53

The transparent A can have three posi-tions:

❒ side a pressed: light always on

❒ side b pressed: light always off

❒ central position (neutral): the light turnson and off automatically when the dooris opened or closed.

IMPORTANT Before getting out of thecar, make sure the switch is at central po-sition: lights off with doors closed in or-der to avoid draining the battery.

For “Active” versions, automatic switchingon/off takes place only after opening orclosing the driver’s door.

“Smart washing” function

Pushing the stalk towards the dashboard(unstable position) operates the rear win-dow wiper.

Keeping the stalk pushed, with just onemovement it is possible to operate thewasher jet and the wiper at the same time;indeed, the latter comes into action au-tomatically if the stalk is pulled for morethan half a second.

The rear window wiper stops working afew strokes after releasing the stalk; a fur-ther “cleaning stroke”, after a few sec-onds, completes the wiping operation.

REAR WINDOW WASHER/WIPER

The device can only work when the igni-tion key is at MAR.

Turn the knurled ring to ' to operate therear window wiper.

With windscreen wiper on, turning theknurled ring to ‘ will turn on the rear win-dow wiper, that in this case will work (inthe different positions) with timing withthe windscreen wiper, but at half speed.

With windscreen wiper on, engaging re-verse gear will automatically turn the rearwindow wiper on, in continuous slow wip-ing mode.

The rear window wiper will stop whendisengaging reverse. Never use the rear window

wiper to remove ice or snowfrom the rear window. Inthese conditions, the wiper is

submitted to excessive effort that re-sults in motor protection cutting in andwiper operation inhibition for few sec-onds as a consequence. If operation isnot restored contact Fiat Dealership.

ABS SYSTEM (where provided)

The car is fitted with an ABS braking sys-tem, which prevents the wheels from lock-ing when braking, makes the most of roadgrip and gives the best control when emer-gency braking under difficulty road condi-tions.

System is completed by EBD (ElectronicBraking Force Distribution), which dis-tributes the braking action between frontand rear wheels.

IMPORTANT To have the maximum ef-ficiency of the braking system, it is neces-sary a setting period of about 500 km: dur-ing this period, it is better to avoid sharp,repeated and prolonged brakes.

FAILURE WARNINGS

ABS failure fig. 88

If warning light > lights up on the instru-ment panel, together with the message onthe reconfigurable multifunction display(where provided), see section “Warninglights and messages”.

In this case the braking system will still beeffective, although without the anti-lockdevice. Drive carefully to the nearest FiatDealership to have the system checked.

EBD failure fig. 89

It is indicated by the turning on of warn-ing lights > and x on the instrumentpanel, together with the message on thereconfigurable multifunction display(where provided), see section “Warninglights and messages”.

In this case with sharp braking the rearwheels might lock too early, with the pos-sibility of skidding . Drive extremely care-fully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to havethe system checked.

ABS INTERVENTION

When the ABS cuts in, you will feel thebrake pedal pulsating slightly and the sys-tem get noisier: it means that the speedshould be altered to fit the type of road sur-face.

fig. 88 F0G0158m fig. 89 F0G0159mWhen the ABS cuts in, andyou feel the brake pedal pul-

sating, do not remove your foot, butkeep it pressed; in doing so you willstop in the shortest amount of spacepossible under the current road con-ditions.

WARNING

If the ABS system cuts in, itis a sign that the grip be-

tween the tyre and the road surfacehas reached the limit: you must slowdown to match the speed to the roadgrip available.

WARNING

The ABS exploits the roadhold available as much as

possible but cannot increase it. Youshould always drive carefully on slip-pery surfaces and avoid any unnec-essary risks.

If only the warning light xturns on together with the

message on the reconfigurable multi-function display (where provided),stop the car immediately and contactthe nearest Fiat Dealership. Fluidleaks from the hydraulic system, infact, can compromise the braking sys-tem, both traditional systems and sys-tems with ABS.

WARNING ESP SYSTEM (ElectronicStability Program) (where provided)

GENERAL INFORMATION

The ESP system is an electronic systemcontrolling the car stability in the event oftyre grip loss.

The ESP system is therefore particularlyuseful when grip conditions of the road sur-faces changes.

In addition to the ESP system, ASR system(antislip regulation system) and HILLHOLDER, also the MSR system (adjustingthe engine braking torque) and the HBAsystem (improving the braking force dur-ing emergency braking) are provided.

ESP INTERVENTION

It is signalled by the blinking of the warn-ing light á on the instrument panel, to in-form the driver that the car is in criticalstability and grip conditions.

ESP system activation

The ESP system is automatically activat-ed when the car is started and cannot bede-activated.

Failure indications

In the event of failure, the ESP system isautomatically disconnected, the warninglight á comes on with fixed light on theinstrument panel, together with the mes-sage on the reconfigurable multifunctiondisplay (where provided) and with the but-ton led ASR OFF (see section “Warninglights and messages”). In this case contacta Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

Performance of the ESP sys-tem, in terms of active safe-

ty should not induce the driver to takepointless and unnecessary risks. Thestyle of driving must in any case al-ways be adapted to the conditions ofthe road surface, visibility an traffic.Road safety is always the driver’s re-sponsibility.

System failure is indicated by the turningon of warning light * on the instrumentpanel, together with the message on thereconfigurable multifunction display(where provided), see section “Warninglights and messages”.

IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system isnot a parking brake therefore, never leavethe car without having engaged the hand-brake, turned the engine off and engagedthe first speed.

ASR SYSTEM (Antislip Regulation)

The ASR function controls car drive andcuts in automatically every time one orboth driving wheels slip.

In slipping conditions, two different con-trol systems are activated:

❒ if slipping involves both driving wheels,the ASR function intervenes reducingthe power transmitted by the engine;

❒ if the slipping involves only one drivingwheel, the ASR system cuts in auto-matically braking the wheel that is slip-ping.

The action of the ASR is particularly help-ful in the following circumstances:

❒ slipping of the inner wheel due to theeffect of dynamic load changes or ex-cessive acceleration;

❒ too much power transmitted to thewheels also in relation to the conditionsof the road surface;

❒ acceleration on slippery, snowy orfrozen surfaces;

❒ in the case of loss of grip on a wet sur-face (aquaplaning).

HILL HOLDER SYSTEM (where provided)

This system is an integral part of the ESPsystem and it is provided to facilitate start-ing on slopes. It will activate automatical-ly with the following conditions:

❒ Uphill: car at a standstill on a road witha gradient higher than 2%, engine run-ning, clutch and brake pedal pressed,gearbox to neutral or engaged gear oth-er than reverse;

❒ Downhill: car at a standstill on a roadwith a gradient higher than 2%, enginerunning, clutch and brake pedal pressedand reverse gear engaged.

At pickup the ESP system control unit willkeep brake force on wheels until reachingthe torque suitable for starting, or in anycase for max. 2 seconds in order to passeasily from the brake pedal to the accel-erator pedal.

After two seconds without starting, thesystem will deactivate automatically by re-leasing gradually the brake force. At re-leasing, the typical brake disengagementnoise indicating that the car is going tomove will be heard.

During the use of the space-saver spare wheel, the ESP

system carries on working. However,you must remind that the space-saverspare wheel has dimensions smallerthan the standard tyre and thereforeits grip is reduced as to the other cartyres.

WARNING

For correct operation of theESP system, the tyres must

absolutely be of the same brand andtype on all wheels, in perfect condi-tions and, above all, of type, brandand size specified.

Switching the ASR system on/off fig. 90

The ASR function switches on automati-cally each time the engine is started.

When travelling ASR can be switched offand on again pressing button C ASR OFF.

System activation is indicated by the rel-evant message on the reconfigurable mul-tifunction display (where provided).

When the ASR is switched off this isshown by the lighting up of the led on thebutton ASR OFF and by relevant messageon the reconfigurable multifunction display(where provided). If the ASR is switchedoff when travelling, it will turn on again au-tomatically the next time the engine isstarted.

When travelling on snowy roads withsnow chains, it may be helpful to turn theASR off: in fact, in these conditions, slip-ping of the driving wheels when moving offmakes it possible to obtain better drive.

MSR system (engine braking torque control)

It is an integral part of the ASR system thatin case of sudden gear shifting, cuts in pro-viding torque to the engine thus prevent-ing excessive driving wheel drive that, spe-cially in poor grip conditions, can lead toloss of stability.

ROLS PARKING SENSORS

(where provided)

Parking sensors are located in the rearbumper fig. 95 and their function is to in-form the driver, through an intermittentbuzzer, about the presence of obstaclesbehind the car.

ACTIVATION

The sensors are automatically activatedwhen the reverse gear is engaged.

The sound produced by the acoustic alarmbecomes louder when the distance be-tween the car and the obstacle decreases.

BUZZER WARNINGS

When the reverse gear is engaged an in-termittent acoustic signal is automaticallyactivated (short beep indicating that sen-sors are active).

The acoustic signal:

❒ becomes louder as the reduction of dis-tance between the car and the obsta-cle decreases;

❒ becomes continuous when the distancebetween the car and the obstacle is lessthat 30 cm and stops if the distance rais-es;

❒ is constant if the distance is unvaried.

Direction distances

Central action radius 120 cm

Side action radius 60 cm

If several obstacles are detected, the con-trol unit indicates the nearest one.

We suggest to stop immediately the car,turn off the engine for about 20 secondsand then re-start the car. If the warninglight g stays on together with the mes-sage on the reconfigurable multifunctiondisplay (where provided), contact FiatDealership.

IMPORTANT The steering may becomeslightly stiff following parking manoeuvresincluding a great deal of steering. This isnormal and caused by a system to preventmotor overheating. No servicing is re-quired. The electric power steering sys-tem will return to normal operation thenext time the car is used.

fig. 95 F0G0692m

Always switch the engine off,remove the key from the

starting device and actuate the steer-ing lock before carrying out any main-tenance operation, especially whenthe wheels are raised from theground. In case this is not possible(e.g. when the key must be in MARposition or the engine running); re-move the electric power steeringmain fuse before carrying out anymaintenance operation.

Electric/electronic devices installed afterbuying the vehicle or in aftermarket shallbear the and marking:

Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorizes the installationof transceivers provided that installationis carried out at a specialized shop, work-manlike performed and in compliance withmanufacturer's specifications.

IMPORTANT Installation of devices re-sulting in modifications of vehicle charac-teristics may cause driving license seizingby traffic agents and also the lapse of thewarranty as concerns defects due to theabovementioned modification or traceableback to it directly or indirectly.

Fiat Auto S.p.A. declines all responsibilityfor damages caused by the installation ofnon-genuine accessories or not recom-mended by Fiat Auto S.p.A. and installednot in compliance with the specified re-quirements.

RADIO TRANSMITTERSAND CELLULAR TELEPHONES

Radio transceiver equipment (e.g.: HAMradio systems and the like) shall not beused inside the vehicle unless a separateaerial is mounted on the roof.

IMPORTANT The use of similar devicesinside the passenger compartment (with-out separated aerial) produces radio-fre-quency electromagnetic fields which, am-plified by the resonance effects inside thepassenger compartment, may cause elec-trical systems equipping the vehicle to mal-function. This could compromise safety inaddition to constituting a potential hazardfor the passengers.

In addition, transmission and reception ofthese devices may be affected by theshielding effect of the vehicle body.

As concerns EC-approved mobile phones(GSM, GPRS, UMTS), strictly comply withthe instructions for use provided by themobile phone’s manufacturer.

ACCESSORIES PURCHASED BY THE OWNER

If after buying the car, you decide to installelectrical accessories that require a per-manent electric supply (alarm, satellite an-titheft system, etc.) or accessories that inany case burden the electric supply, con-tact Fiat Dealership, whose qualified per-sonnel, besides suggesting the most suit-able devices belonging to Lineaccessori Fi-at, will also evaluate the overall electric ab-sorption, checking whether the car’s elec-tric system is able to withstand the loadrequired, or whether it needs to be inte-grated with a more powerful battery.

ROLS DIESEL ENGINES

Operation at low temperatures

If the outside temperature is very low, thediesel thickens due to the formation ofparaffin and could cause the malfunction-ing of the fuel system.

In order to avoid these problems, differ-ent types of diesel are distributed ac-cording to the season: summer type, win-ter type and arctic type (cold, mountainareas). If refuelling with diesel fuel not suit-able for the current temperature, mixdiesel fuel with TUTELA DIESEL ART ad-ditive in the proportions stated on the can,putting first the antifreeze in the tank andthen the diesel fuel.

If driving or parking the vehicle for a longperiod in cold areas/mountains, refuel withthe diesel fuel available at local filling sta-tions.

In this situation you are also recom-mended to have in the tank an amount offuel 50% higher than usable capacity.

AT THE FILLINGSTATION

PETROL ENGINES

Use only unleaded petrol.

To prevent errors, the diameter of the fu-el tank filler is too small to introduce a leadpetrol pump filler.

Use petrol with a rated octane number(R.O.N.) not lower than 95.

IMPORTANT An inefficient catalyst leadsto harmful exhaust emissions, thus con-tributing to air pollution.

IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol,even in small amount or in an emergency,as this would damage the catalyst beyondrepair.

fig. 98 F0G0041m

The car must only be filledwith diesel fuel for motor ve-hicles, in compliance with Eu-ropean Standard EN590. The

use of other products or mixtures mayirreparably damage the engine with in-validation of the warranty due to thedamage caused. In the event of acci-dentally filling with another type of fu-el, do not start the engine and emptythe tank. If the engine has been runeven for only a very short time, in ad-dition to the tank, it is also necessaryto drain out the whole fuel circuit.

REFUELLING

To guarantee full tank filling, carry out tworefuelling operations after the first click ofthe fuel delivery gun. Avoid further top-ping up operations that could cause dam-ages to the fuel system.

ROLSPROTECTING THE

ENVIRONMENT

The devices for curtailing petrol engineemissions are the following:

❒ three-way catalytic converter;

❒ Lambda sensor;

❒ fuel evaporation system.

In addition, do not let the engine run, evenfor a test, with one or more spark plugsdisconnected.

The devices for curtailing diesel fuel en-gine emissions are the following:

❒ oxidising catalytic converter;

❒ exhaust gas recirculation system(E.G.R.);

❒ diesel particulate filter (DPF).

FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 98 and 99

The fuel filler cap B is fitted with an anti-loss device C which fastens it to the flapA so it cannot be mislaid.

To slacken the cap B first open the flap A.The sealing of the tank may cause lightpressurising in the tank. A little breathingoff, while slackening the cap is absolutelynormal.

When refuelling, position the cap on thedevice inside the flap as shown in the fig-ure.

fig. 99 F0G0042m

Do not put naked flames orlighted cigarettes near the fu-el filler hole as there is a dan-ger of fire. Do not bend too

close to the hole either so as not tobreathe in harmful vapours.

During normal service thecatalyst reaches high tem-

peratures. Do not therefore park thecar over inflammable materials (grass,dry leaves, pine needles, etc.): firehazard.

ROLS DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER

(DPF) (for 1.3 Multijet versions 75 HP)

The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechan-ical filter, integral with the exhaust system,that physically traps particulates presentin the exhaust gases of Diesel engines.

The diesel particular filter has been adopt-ed to eliminate almost totally particulatesin compliance with current / future lawregulations.

During normal use of the vehicle, the en-gine control unit records a set of data (e.g.:travel time, type of route, temperatures,etc.) and it will then calculate how muchparticulates has been trapped by the filter.

Since this filter physically traps particulates,it shall be cleaned (reclaimed) at regularintervals by burning carbon particles.

Reclaiming procedure is controlled auto-matically by the engine control unit ac-cording to the filter conditions and theconditions of use of the vehicle.

During reclaiming the following phenom-ena could take place: idling slight increase,fan activation, slight smoke increase, highexhaust temperatures. These situationsshall not be considered as faults and theydo not affect vehicle performance and en-vironment.

If the dedicated message is displayed, re-fer to paragraph “Warning lights and mes-sages”.

The rear seat is fitted with inertial seatbelts with three anchor points and reel.As an optional, (only for homologated 5-seat cars) also the centre seat can be fit-ted with three anchor points and reel orwith lap belt with two anchor points forversions/markets where applicable.

IMPORTANT Remember that in theevent of a violent collision, back seat pas-sengers not wearing seat belts also rep-resent a serious danger for front seat pas-sengers.

SEAT BELT HEIGHTADJUSTMENT (where provided)

Four different adjustments in height areprovided.

To adjust, press button A-fig. 2 and low-er or raise the grip B.

Always adjust the height of the seat beltto fit the person wearing it: this precau-tion could greatly reduce the risk of injuryin case of collision.

Correct adjustment is obtained when thebelt passes half way between the end ofthe shoulder and the neck.

See texts and figures given in paragraph“General instructions for using the seatbelts” in this section.

SEAT BELTS

USING THE SEAT BELTS fig. 1

The belt should be worn keeping the cheststraight and rested against the seat back.

To fasten the seat belts, take hold thetongue A and insert it into the buckle B,until hearing the locking click. At removal,if it jams, let it rewind for a short stretch,then pull it out again without jerking.

To unfasten the seat belts, press buttonC. Guide the seat belt with your handwhile it is rewinding, to prevent it fromtwisting. Through the reel, the belt auto-matically adapts to the body of the pas-senger wearing it, allowing freedom ofmovement.

IMPORTANT After repositioning theseats, restore proper seat belts conditionsfor prompt use.

PRETENSIONERS

To increase the efficiency of the front andrear (where provided) seat belts, the FiatPanda is fitted with pretensioners. Thesedevices “feel”, through a sensor, that a vi-olent crash is in progress and rewind theseat belts a few centimetres. In this waythey ensure that the seat belt adheres per-fectly to the wearer before the restrain-ing action begins.

The seat belt locks to indicate that the de-vice has intervened; the seat belt cannotbe drawn back up even when guiding itmanually.

IMPORTANT To obtain the highest de-gree of protection from the action of thepretensioning device, wear the seat beltkeeping it firmly close to the chest andpelvis.

A small amount of smoke may be pro-duced. This smoke is in no way toxic andpresents no fire hazard.

The pretensioner does not require anymaintenance or greasing. Anything thatmodifies its original conditions invalidatesits efficiency. If due to unusual naturalevents (floods, sea storms, etc.) the devicehas been affected by water and mud, itmust necessarily be replaced.

LOAD LIMITERS

To increase passenger’s safety, the frontand rear (where provided) seat belt reelscontain a load limiter which allows con-trolled sag in such a way as to dose theforce acting on the shoulders during thebelt restraining action in case of frontcrash.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FORUSING THE SEAT BELTS

The driver must comply with (and havethe car occupants follow) all the local lawregulations concerning the use of seatbelts. Always fasten the seat belts beforestarting.

Seat belts are also to be worn by expec-tant mothers: the risk of injury in the caseof accident is greatly reduced for them andthe unborn child if they are wearing a seatbelt. Of course they must position thelower part of the belt very low down sothat it passes under the abdomen (as il-lustrated in fig. 6).

fig. 6 F0G0046m

The pretensioner can onlybe used once. After a colli-

sion that has triggered it, have it re-placed at a Fiat Dealership. Preten-sioner validity is written on the labelset on the door contour sheet metal.Pretensioners should be replaced atFiat Dealership as this date ap-proaches.

WARNING

Operations which lead toknocks, vibrations or localisedheating (over 100°C for amaximum of 6 hours) in the

area around the pretensioners maycause damage or trigger them. Thesedevices are not affected by vibrationscaused by irregularities of the road sur-face or low obstacles such as kerbs, etc.Contact a Fiat Dealership for any as-sistance.

For maximum safety, keepthe back of your seat up-

right, lean back into it and make surethe seat belt fits closely across yourchest and hips. Make sure that theseat belts of the front and rear pas-sengers are fastened at all times! Youincrease the risk of serious injury ordeath in a collision if you travel withthe belts unfastened.

WARNING

Under no circumstancesshould the components of

the seat belts and pretensioners betampered with or removed. Any op-eration should be carried out by qual-ified and authorised personnel. Al-ways contact a Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT Each belt shall be used byone person only: never travel with a childsitting on the passenger’s lap with a sin-gle belt to protect them both fig. 8. Donot fasten other objects to the body.

HOW TO KEEP THE SEATBELTS ALWAYS IN EFFICIENTCONDITIONS

Observe the following:

❒ always use the belt with the tap taut andnever twisted; make sure that it is freeto run without impediments;

❒ after a serious accident, replace the beltbeing worn at that time, even if it doesnot appear damaged. Always replacethe seat belt if pretensioners have beenactivated;

❒ to clean the belts, wash by hand withneutral soap, rinse and leave to dry inthe shade. Never use strong deter-gents, bleach or dyes or other chemi-cal substance that might weaken the fi-bres;

❒ prevent the reels from getting wet:their correct operation is only guaran-teed if water does not get inside;

❒ replace the seat belt when showing sig-nificant wear or cut signs.

IMPORTANT The belt should not betwisted. The upper part should pass overthe shoulder and cross the chest diago-nally. The lower part should adhere to thepelvis (as illustrated in fig. 7) and not tothe abdomen of the passenger. Do not useany objects (pegs, stoppers, etc.) to keepthe belts away from the body.

fig. 7 F0G0044m fig. 8 F0G0045m

If the belt has been subject-ed to heavy stress, for ex-

ample after and accident, it should bechanged completely together withthe anchors, anchor fastening screwsand the pretensioners. In fact, even ifthe belt has no visible defects, it couldhave lost its resilience.

All restraint devices must bear the certi-fication data, together with the controlbrand, on a solidly fixed label which mustabsolutely never be removed.

Over 1.50 m in height, from the point ofview of restraint systems, children areconsidered as adults and wear the seatbelts normally.

Lineaccessori Fiat offers seats for eachweight group, which are the recommend-ed choice, as they have been designed andexperimented specifically for Fiat cars.

CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELY

For optimal protection in the event of acrash, all passengers must be seated andwearing adequate restraint systems.

This is even more important for children.

This prescription is compulsory in all ECcountries according to EC Directive2003/20/EC.

Compared with adults, their head is pro-portionally larger and heavier than the restof the body, while the muscles and bonestructure are not completely developed.

Therefore, correct restraint systems arenecessary, other then adult seat belts.

The results of research on the best childrestraint systems are contained in the Eu-ropean Standard ECE- R44. This Standardenforces the use of restraint systems clas-sified in five groups:Group 0 0-10 kg in weightGroup 0+ 0-13 kg in weightGroup 1 9-18 kg in weightGroup 2 15-25 kg in weightGroup 3 weight 22 - 36 kg

SERIOUS DANGER: Neverplace cradle child’s seats onthe front passenger seat ofcars fitted with passenger’sair bag. The air bag activa-tion could cause serious in-

juries, even mortal. You are advisedto carry children always on the rearseats, as this is the most protected po-sition in the case of a crash. In anycase, children’s seats must absolutelynot be fitted on the front seat of carswith passenger’s air bag, which dur-ing inflation could cause serious in-jury, even mortal, regardless of the se-riousness of the crash that triggeredit. Children may be placed on thefront seat of cars fitted with passen-ger’s air bag deactivation. In this case,it is absolutely necessary to check thewarning light F on the cluster tomake sure that deactivation has ac-tually taken place (see paragraph“Passenger’s front air bag” at item“Front air bags”). The front passen-ger’s seat shall be adjusted in themost backward position to preventany contact between child’s seat anddashboard.

The only function of the seat is to positionthe child correctly in relation to the belts,so that the diagonal part adheres to thechest and not to the neck and that thehorizontal part clings to the child’s pelvisand not the abdomen.

fig. 11 F0G0049m

GROUP 1

Starting from 9 to 18 kg in weight, childrenmay be carried facing forwards, with seatsfitted with front cushion, through whichthe car seat belt restrains both child andseat fig. 10.

GROUP 0 and 0+

Babies up to 13 kg must be carried facingbackwards on a cradle seat which, sup-porting the head, does not induce stresson the neck in the event of sharp decel-eration.

The cradle is restrained by the car seatbelts, as shown in fig. 9 and in turn it mustrestrain the child with its own belts.

❒ Always check the seat belts do not fitaround the child’s throat.

❒ While travelling, do not let the child sitincorrectly or release the belts.

❒ Passengers should never carry childrenon their laps. No-one, however strongthey are, can hold a child in the eventof a crash.

❒ In case if an accident, replace the seatwith a new one.

Below is a summary of the rules of safetyto be followed for carrying children:

❒ The recommended position for in-stalling children’s seat is on the rearseat, as it is the most protected in thecase of a crash.

❒ If the passenger’s air bag is deactivatedalways check the instrument panelwarning light F (amber) to makesure that it has actually been deacti-vated.

❒ Attain to the instructions for fasteningthe specific child restraint system whichyou are using. These instructions mustbe provided by the manufacturer. Keepthe child restraint system installation in-structions with the car documents andthis Handbook. Never use a child re-straint system without installation in-structions.

❒ Always check the seat belt is well fas-tened by pulling the webbing.

In cars fitted with passengerair bag never place child’s re-

straint systems on the front seat sincechildren shall never be seated on thefront passenger seat.

Since sizes are different, it is possible toinstall max. two Isofix type seats on therear seats using the proper fastening de-vices or three traditional child’s seats se-cured by the seat belts. Only traditionalchild’s seats can be installed on front seats.

Use only Isofix type child’s seats that havebeen designed, experimented and ap-proved expressly for this car.

Mount the child restraintsystem only with the car sta-

tionary. The child restraint system isproperly anchored to the mountingbrackets when clicks are heard. In anycase, keep to the installation instruc-tions that must be provided by thechild restraint system Manufacturer.

FITTING THE ISOFIX TYPESEAT

0 and 0+ group

For children of this weight group (babiesup to 13 kg), the child’s seat is facing back-wards and the child restrained by thechild’s seat belts D-fig. 14.

As the child grows, passing to weightgroup 1, remove the child’s seat from thebase and refit it facing forwards.

For proper mounting proceed as follows:

❒ check whether the release lever B is atrest position (inward);

❒ find the presetting brackets A, then po-sition the child restraint system withthe fastening devices C aligned with thebrackets;

❒ push the child restraint system untilhearing locking clicks;

❒ check proper locking by moving thechild’s seat with force: the built-in safe-ty mechanism actually inhibits improp-er coupling with only one couplinglocked.

AIR BAGS

The car is fitted with front air bags (forversions/markets where applicable) for thedriver and the passenger and front sidebags (side bag - window bag).

FRONT AIR BAGS

The front air bag (driver and passenger)has been designed to protect the occu-pants in the event of head-on crashes ofmedium-high severity, by placing the cush-ion between the occupant and the steer-ing wheel or dashboard.

Front air bags are designed to protectcar’s occupants in front crashes and there-fore non-activation in other types of col-lisions (side collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) is not a system malfunction.

In case of front crash, an electronic con-trol unit, when required, triggers the in-flation of the cushion according to theseverity of the collision.

The cushion immediately inflates, placingitself as a protection between the bodyof the front occupants and the structurethat could cause injuries. Immediately af-ter, the cushion deflates.

The front air bag (driver and passenger) isnot a replacement of but complementaryto the use of belts, which should alwaysbe worn, as specified by law in Europe andmost non-European countries.

In case of crash, a person not wearing theseat belt moves forward and may come in-to contact with the cushion while it is stillinflating. Under this circumstance the pro-tection offered by the air bag is reduced.

SThe driver’s and passenger’s front Air bagshave been designed and calibrated to im-prove the protection of a person wear-ing seat belts.

At their maximum inflation, their volumefills most of the space between the dash-board and the passenger.

In minor side crashes (for which the re-straining action of the seat belts is suffi-cient), the air bags are not deployed. Al-so in this case it is of vital importance towear the seat belts since in case of sidecrash they guarantee proper positioningof the occupant.

DRIVER’S FRONT AIR BAG fig. 16

It consists of an instant-inflating cushioncontained in a special recess in the cen-tre of the steering wheel.

Front air bag may not be activated in thefollowing situations:

❒ in collisions against highly deformableobjects not affecting the car front sur-face (e.g. bumper collision against guardrail);

❒ car wedging under other vehicles orprotective barriers (for example undera truck or guard rail);

as it offers no additional protection com-pared with the seat belts, consequently,it would be pointless. Therefore, failure tocome into action in the above circum-stances does not mean that the system isnot working properly.

Do not apply stickers or oth-er objects to the steering

MANUALLY DEACTIVATINGTHE PASSENGER’S FRONT AIR BAG

Should it be absolutely necessary to car-ry a child on the front seat, the passenger’sair bag on the car can be deactivated.

Deactivation/reactivation takes place withignition key at STOP and operating it inthe special key switch in the glovebox.

The key can be fitted and extracted inboth positions.

IMPORTANT Operate the switch onlywhen the engine is not running and the ig-nition key is removed.

PASSENGER’S FRONT AIR BAGfig. 17

It consists of an instant-inflating cushioncontained in a special recess in the dash-board; its volume is bigger than the dri-ver’s one.

fig. 17 F0G0057m

SERIOUS DANGER: Neverplace cradle child’s seats onthe front passenger seat ofcars fitted with passengerair bag. Air bag activationcould cause serious injuries,

even mortal. In the case of need, al-ways deactivate the passenger’s airbag when a child’s seat is placed onthe front seat. The front passenger’sseat shall be adjusted in the mostbackward position to prevent anycontact between child’s seat anddashboard. Even if not compulsory bylaw, you are recommended to reacti-vate the air bag immediately as soonas child transport is no longer neces-sary.

If you are having the car scrapped, havethe air bag system deactivated at a FiatDealership first. If the car changes own-ership, the new owner must be informedof the method of use of air bags and theabove warnings and also be given this“Owner Handbook”.

IMPORTANT The triggering of preten-sioners, front air bags and side bags is de-cided in a differentiated manner by theelectronic control unit, depending on thetype of crash. The failure to deploy one ormore of them does not mean that the sys-tem is not working properly.

IMPORTANT When the airbag inflates itemits a small amount of dusts. These dustsare harmless and is not the beginning ofa fire; then the unfold cushion surface andthe car interiors can be covered by a dustyremains: this dust can irritate skin andeyes. In case of contact, wash yourself us-ing neutral soap and water. Expirationdates of pyrotechnic charge and coil con-tact are indicated on the label inside theglovebox. As these dates approach, con-tact Fiat Dealership to have them re-placed.

IMPORTANT Should an accident occur inwhich any of the safety devices is activat-ed, take the car to a Fiat Dealership tohave the devices activated replaced and tohave the system checked.

All control, repair and replacement op-erations concerning the Air bags must on-ly be carried out c/o Fiat Dealership.

Never rest head, arms andelbows on the door, on the

windows and in the windowbag areato prevent possible injuries during in-flation phase.

WARNING

Never put head, arms and el-bows out of window.

WARNING

WINDOW BAG fig. 20

They are “curtain” cushions located be-hind the side coverings of the roof andcovered by proper finishings, studied forthe head protection to offer the best pro-tection to the front and rear occupantsin the event of side crash, thanks to thewide cushion inflation surface.

IMPORTANT In the event of side crash,you can obtain the best protection by thesystem keeping a correct position on theseat, allowing thus a correct window bagunfolding.

IMPORTANT The front air bags and/orside bags may be deployed if the car is sub-ject to heavy knocks or accidents involv-ing the underbody area, such as for ex-ample violent shocks, against steps, kerbsor low obstacles, falling of the car in bigholes or sags in the road.

SGENERAL WARNINGS

If when turning the key toMAR the warning light ¬

does not turn on or if it stays on whentravelling there could be a failure insafety systems; in this event air bagsor pretensioners could not trigger incase of impact or, in a minor num-ber of cases, they could trigger acci-dentally. Contact Fiat Dealership im-mediately to have the systemchecked.

WARNING

Do not cover the backrest offront seats with trims or cov-

ers that are not suitable to be usedwith side bags.

WARNING

Never travel with objects onyour lap, in front of your

chest or with a pipe, pencil, etc. be-tween your lips; injury may result inthe event of the air bag being trig-gered.

WARNING

Always keep your hands onthe steering wheel rim when

driving, so that if the air bag is trig-gered, it can inflate without meetingany obstacles which could cause seri-ous harm to you. Do not drive withthe body bent forwards, keep the seatback rest in the erect position andlean your back well against it.

WARNING

Remember that with the keyengaged and at MAR, even if

the engine is not running, the air bagsmay be triggered on a stationary carif it is bumped by another moving car.Therefore, never seat children on thefront seat even when the car is sta-tionary. On the other hand remem-ber that if the key is at STOP, no safe-ty system (air bags or pretensioners)is triggered in the event of an impact;in this case, failure to come into ac-tion cannot be considered as a signthat the system is not working prop-erly.

WARNING

If the car has been stolen oran attempt to steal it has

been made, if it has been subjected tovandals or floods, have the air bagsystem checked by Fiat Dealership.

Do not wash the seat backrest with pressurised water

or steam (by hand or at automaticseat washing stations).

WARNING

The front air bag is triggeredfor shocks greater in magni-

tude that the pretensioners. For im-pacts between these two thresholds,it is therefore normal that only thepretensioners are triggered.

WARNING

Do not hook rigid objects tothe coat hooks and to the

support handles.

WARNING

The air bag does not substi-tute the seat belts, but only

increases their effectiveness. More-over, since the front air bags do notcome into operation in the event offront impact at low speed, side colli-sions, bumps from behind or over-turning, in these circumstances theoccupants would only be protectedby the seat belts which must thereforealways be fastened.

WARNING

When the ignition key isturned to the MAR position,

the warning light F (with passen-ger’s front air bag deactivation switchin the ON position) turns on andflashes for few seconds to remind thatthe passenger’s air bag will be de-ployed in a crash, after which itshould go off.

STARTING PROCEDUREFOR PETROL VERSIONS

Proceed as follows:

❒ ensure that the handbrake is up;

❒ put the gear lever in neutral;

❒ press the clutch pedal down to thefloor without touching the accelerator;

❒ turn the ignition key to AVV and letit go the moment the engine starts.

If the engine does not start at the first at-tempt, return the ignition key to STOPbefore repeating starting.

If, when the ignition key is at MAR, warn-ing light Y remains lit together withwarning light U turn the key to STOPSTOP and then back to MAR; if the warn-ing light remains on, try with the otherkeys provided with the car.

If you are still unable to start the engine,perform the emergency start-up proce-dure (see “Emergency start-up” in “In anemergency” chapter) and contact FiatDealership.

STARTING THE ENGINE

The car is fitted with an electronic enginelock device: if the engine fails to start, seethe paragraph “The Fiat CODE system” insection “Dashboard and controls”.

The engine may be noisier than usual dur-ing the first seconds of operation, espe-cially after it has not been used for a while.This characteristic feature of the hydraulictappet system does not compromise func-tionality or reliability: the system devisedfor the Fiat Panda was designed to limitmaintenance interventions.

We recommend that duringthe initial period you do notdrive to full car performance(e.g.: excessive acceleration,

long journeys at top speed, sharp brak-ing, etc.).

When the engine is switchedoff never leave the ignitionkey in the MAR position toprevent pointless current ab-

sorption from draining the battery.

Running the engine in con-fined areas is extremely dan-

gerous. The engine consumes oxygenand produces carbon monoxidewhich is a highly toxic and lethal gas.

WARNING

Remember that the servo-brake and power steering

are not operational until the enginehas been started, therefore much ef-fort than usual is required on thebrake pedal and steering wheel.

The warning light m willflash for 60 seconds at start-up or during prolonged crank-ing to indicate a fault in the

glow plug heating system. You can usethe car as usual if the engine starts butyou should contact Fiat Dealership assoon as possible.

Never bump start the engineby pushing, towing or coast-ing downhill. These opera-tions could cause fuel to flow

into the catalytic exhaust system anddamage it beyond repair.

PARKING

Proceed as follows:

❒ Stop the engine and engage the hand-brake;

❒ engage a gear (1st if the car is faced up-hill or reverse if it is faced downhill) andleave the wheels steered.

Block the wheels with a wedge or a stoneif the car is parked on a steep slope.

Do not leave the ignition key at MAR toprevent draining the battery, always re-move the ignition key when leaving thecar.

Never leave children unattended in thecar. Always remove the ignition key whenleaving the car and take it out with you.

HANDBRAKE fig. 1

The handbrake lever is located betweenthe two front seats.

Pull the handbrake lever upwards until thecar cannot be moved.

Four or five clicks are generally enoughwhen the car is on level ground while nineor ten may be required if the car is on asteep slope or laden.

IMPORTANT If this is not the case, con-tact Fiat Dealership to have the handbrakeadjusted.

When the handbrake lever is pulled upand the ignition key is at MAR, the in-strument panel warning light x will turnon.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

Turn the ignition to STOP while the en-gine is idling.

IMPORTANT After taxing drive, youshould allow the engine to “catch itsbreath” before turning it off by letting itidle to allow the temperature in the en-gine compartment to fall.

To change gears properlyyou must push the clutch

pedal fully down. It is therefore es-sential that there is nothing under thepedals: make sure the mats are lyingflat and do not get in the way of thepedals.

WARNING

Do not drive with your handresting on the gear lever asthe force exerted, even ifslight, could lead over time to

premature wear on the gearbox inter-nal components.

Accessories installed onlongitudinal bars

Remove accessories like: roof racks, skiracks, luggage container, etc. from the roofas soon as they are no longer used. Theseaccessories lower air penetration and ad-versely affect consumption levels. Whenneeding to carry particularly voluminousobjects, preferably use a trailer.

Electric devices

Use electric devices only for the amountof time needed. Rear heated window, ad-ditional headlights, windscreen wipers andheater fan need a considerable amount ofenergy, therefore increasing the require-ment of current increases fuel consump-tion (up to +25% in the urban cycle).

Climate control

The air conditioner is an additional loadwhich greatly affects the engine leading tohigher consumption (on average up to+20%). When the temperature outsidethe car permits it, use the air vents wherepossible.

Spoilers

The use of non-certified aerodynamicitems may adversely affect air drag andconsumption levels.

DRIVING STYLE

Starting

Do not warm the engine with the car ata standstill or at idle or high speed: underthese conditions the engine warms upmuch more slowly, increasing electricalconsumption and emissions. It is thereforeadvisable to move off immediately, slow-ly, avoiding high speeds: this way the en-gine will warm faster.

Unnecessary actions

Avoid accelerating when waiting at trafficlights or before switching off the engine.This and also double declutching is ab-solutely pointless on modern cars and al-so increases consumption and pollution.

Gear selection

As soon as the conditions of the traffic androad allow, use a higher gear. Using a lowgear to obtain brilliant performance in-creases consumption.

In the same way improper use of a highgear increases consumption, emissions anengine wear.

CONTAININGRUNNING COSTS

Some useful tips are given below for fuelsaving and reducing harmful emissions ofCO2 and other pollutants (nitrogen ox-ides, unburnt hydrocarbons, ParticulateMatter (PM) etc.).

GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

Car maintenance

Have checks and adjustments carried outin accordance with the “Service schedule”.

Tyres

Check the pressure of the tyres routine-ly at an interval of no more than 4 weeks:if the pressure is too low, consumptionlevels increase as resistance to rolling ishigher.

Unnecessary loads

Do not travel with too much luggagestowed in the boot. The weight of the car(especially when driving in town) and itstrim greatly affects consumption and sta-bility.

CONDITIONS OF USE

Cold starting

Short journeys and frequent cold starts donot allow the engine to reach optimum op-erating temperature. This results in a sig-nificant increase in consumption levels(from +15 to +30% on the urban cycle)and emission of harmful substances.

Traffic situations and roadconditions

Rather high consumption levels are tied tosituations with heavy traffic, for examplein queues with frequent use of the lowergears or in cities with many traffic lights.Also winding mountain roads and roughroad surfaces adversely affect consump-tion.

Traffic hold-ups

During prolonged hold-ups (level crossings)the engine should be switched off.

TOWING TRAILERS

IMPORTANT NOTES

For towing caravans or trailers the carmust be fitted with a certified tow hookand an adequate electric system. Installa-tion should be carried out by specialisedpersonnel who release a special documentfor circulation on the road.

Install any specific and/or additional rear-view mirrors as specified by law.

Remember that when towing a trailer,steep hills are harder to climb, the brak-ing spaces increase and overtaking takeslonger depending on the overall weight.

Engage a low gear when driving downhill,rather than constantly using the brake.

The weight the trailer exerts on the cartow hook reduces by the same amountthe actual car loading capacity. To makesure the maximum towable weight is notexceeded (given in the log book) accountshould be taken of the fully laden trailer,including accessories and personal be-longings.

Top speed

Fuel consumption considerably increaseswith speed. Avoid superfluous braking andaccelerating, which cost in terms of bothfuel and emissions.

Acceleration

Accelerating violently increasing the revswill greatly affect consumption and emis-sions: acceleration should be gradual.

INSTALLING THE TOW HOOK

The towing device should be fastened tothe body by specialised personnel accord-ing to any additional and/or integrative in-formation supplied by the Manufacturer ofthe device.

The towing device must meet current reg-ulations with reference to 94/20/CEE Di-rective and subsequent amendments.

For any version the towing device usedmust match the towable weight of the caron which it is to be installed.

For the electric connection a unified con-nector should be used which is generallyplaced on a special bracket normally fas-tened to the towing device, and a specialECU for external trailer light control shallbe installed on the car.

For the electric connection, a 7 pin12VDC connection is to be used (CU-NA/UNI and ISO/DIN Standards). Followthe instructions provided by the car man-ufacturer and/or the tow hitch manufac-turer.

An electric brake should be supplied di-rectly by the battery through a cable witha cross section of no less than 2.5 mm2.

IMPORTANT Electric brake or other de-vice shall be used with running engine.

In addition to the electrical branches, thecar electric system can only be connect-ed to the supply cable for an electric brakeand to the cable for an internal light,though not above 15W.

For connections use a preset control unitwith battery cable no less than 2.5 mm2.

Do not exceed the speed limits of thecountry you are driving in. In any case donot exceed 100 km/h.

IMPORTANT When snow tyres are usedwith a max speed index below the onethat can be reached by the car (increasedby 5%), place a notice in the passenger’scompartment, plainly in the driver’s viewwhich states the max permissible speed ofthe snow tyres (as per EC Directive).

All four tyres should be the same (brandand track) to ensure greater safety whendriving and braking and better driveabili-ty.

Remember that it is inappropriate tochange the direction of rotation of tyres.

SNOW CHAINS

Use of snow chains should be in compli-ance with local regulations.

Snow chains should only be applied to thedriving wheels (front wheels).

Check the tension of the chains after dri-ving some ten metres.

IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be fit-ted to the space saver spare wheel. So, ifa front (drive) wheel is punctured andchains are needed, a rear wheel should befitted to the front of the car and the sparewheel should be fitted to the rear. Thisway with two normal drive wheels, snowchains can be fitted to them to solve anemergency.

SNOW TYRES

Use snow tyres of the same size as thenormal tyres provided with the car.

Fiat Dealership will be happy to provideadvice concerning the most suitable typeof tyre for the customer’s requirements.

For the type of tyre to be used, inflationpressures and the specifications of snowtyres, follow the instructions given in para-graph “Wheels” in section “Technicalspecifications”.

The winter features of these tyres are re-duced considerably when the tread depthis below 4 mm. In this case, they shouldbe replaced.

Due to the snow tyre features, under nor-mal conditions of use or on long motor-way journeys, the performance of thesetyres is lower than that of normal tyres. Itis therefore necessary to limit their use tothe purposes for which they are certified.

ance with local regulations: hazardwarning lights, warning triangle, etc.Any passengers on board should leavethe car, especially if it is heavily laden.Passengers should stay away from on-coming traffic while the wheel is be-ing changed. If parked on a slope orrough surface, chock the wheels withwedges or other suitable devices.

WARNING

When driving with a space-saver spare wheel fitted, the

driving performance of the carchanges. Avoid accelerating or brak-ing sharply, abrupt turns of fast cor-nerings. The life of a spare wheel isapprox. 3000 km, after this distanceit should be replaced with another ofthe same type. Never attempt to fita conventional tyre on a rim designedfor use as a space-saver spare wheel.Have the punctured wheel repairedand refitted as soon as possible. Twoor more space-saver spare wheelsshould never be used together. Do notgrease the threads of bolts before in-stalling them: they might slip out.

WARNING

The jack shall only be usedfor changing wheels on the

car with which it is provided or oncars of the same model. It must notbe used for other purposes such as forinstance raising cars of other models.In no case should it be used for repairsunder the car. Incorrect positioningof the jack may cause the jacked carto fall. Do not use the jack for high-er capacities than stated on its label.Snow chains cannot be fitted to thespace-saver spare wheel. So, if a front(drive) wheel is punctured and chainsare needed, a rear wheel should befitted to the front of the car and thespare wheel should be fitted to therear. This way with two normal dri-ve wheels, snow chains can be fittedto them to solve an emergency.

WARNING

Fasten the wheel cap cor-rectly to prevent the wheel

from coming free in motion. Nevertamper with the inflation valve. Nev-er place tools between the rim andtyre. Check and restore, if required,the pressure of tyres and spare wheelto the values given in section “Tech-nical specifications”.

WARNING

Please note:

❒ the jack weight is 1,76 kg;

❒ the jack requires no adjustment;

❒ the jack cannot be repaired and in theevent of a fault it must be replaced byanother original one;

❒ no tool other than its cranking devicemay be fitted on the jack.

WHEN NEEDING TO CHANGE A BULB

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

❒ Before changing a bulb check the con-tacts for oxidation;

❒ Burnt bulbs must be replaced by oth-ers of the same type and power;

❒ Always check headlight aiming afterchanging a bulb to ensure they are safe;

❒ When a light is not working, check thatthe corresponding fuse is intact beforechanging a bulb: for the location of fus-es, refer to paragraph “If a fuse blows”in this section.

Alterations or repairs to theelectric system not carried

out correctly and without taking intoaccount the system specificationsmay cause failures and the risk of fire.

WARNING

Halogen bulbs contain pres-surised gas, in the case of

breakage they may burst.

WARNING

Halogen bulbs must be han-dled touching only the metal-lic part. If the transparentbulb is touched with the fin-

gers, its lighting intensity is reduced andlife of the bulb may be compromised.If touched accidentally, rub the bulbwith a cloth moistened with methylat-ed spirit and allow to dry.

IMPORTANT - Battery

The charge in the battery should bechecked at the start of winter to limit therisk of electrolyte freezing.

This check should be carried out morefrequently if the car is used mainly forshort trips, or if it is fitted with accessoriesthat permanently absorb electricity evenwith the ignition key removed, especiallyin the case of after market accessories. Ifthe car is used in hot climates or particu-larly harsh conditions it is wise to checkthe level of the battery fluid (electrolyte)more frequently than specified in the “Ser-vice schedule”.

IMPORTANT - Engine oil

Should prevailing use of the car be underone of the following specially heavy con-ditions:

❒ trailer or caravan towing;

❒ dusty roads;

❒ short distances (less than 7- 8 km) re-peated and with external temperaturesbelow zero;

❒ frequently idling engines or long dis-tance low speed driving (e.g. taxis ordoor-to-door deliveries) or in case ofa long term inactivity;

replace engine oil more frequently thanrequired on “Service Schedule”.

IMPORTANT - Diesel filter

The possibility of topping up with dieselfuel not complying with EN590 EuropeanNorm might make it necessary to replacethe filter more frequently than indicatedin the “Service Schedule”.

If the oil level is near or even below theMIN mark, add oil through the filler neckA, until reaching the MAX mark.

Oil level shall never exceed the MAXmark.

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION

Max engine oil consumption is usually 400grams every 1000 km.

When the car is new, the engine needsto run in, therefore the engine oil con-sumption can only be considered stabilisedafter the first 5,000 ÷ 6,000 km.

IMPORTANT The oil consumption de-pends on driving style and the conditionsunder which the car is used.

IMPORTANT After adding or changingthe oil, let the engine turn over for a fewseconds and wait a few minutes after turn-ing it off before you check the level.

ENGINE OIL fig. 4, 5 and 6

Check the oil level a few minutes (about5) after the engine has stopped, with thecar parked on level ground.

Check the level is within the MIN andMAX marks on the dipstick B.

The interval between the MIN and MAXmarks corresponds to about one litre ofoil.

BATTERY

The car fits a low-maintenance battery: notop-ups with distilled water are needed innormal conditions of use.

INSPECTING THE CHARGE AND THE ELECTROLYTE LEVEL

Inspection operations must be carried outby specialised personnel, following theprescriptions contained in the Use andmaintenance booklet. Any top-up opera-tions must be carried out by specialisedpersonnel and by Fiat Dealership.

Battery liquid is poisonousand corrosive. Avoid contact

with the skin and eyes. Keep nakedflames and sources of sparks awayfrom the battery: risk of explosionand fire.

WARNING

Running the battery with anexcessively low liquid level

will damage the battery beyond re-pair and even cause an explosion.

WARNING

CHANGING THE BATTERY

If required, replace the battery with a gen-uine spare part having the same specifi-cations.

If a battery with different specifications isfitted, the service intervals given in the“Service schedule” in this section will nolonger be valid.

Refer therefore to the instructions pro-vided by the battery manufacturer.

IMPORTANT If the charge level remainsfor a long time under 50%, the battery isdamaged by sulphation, reducing its ca-pacity and starting attitude.

The battery will also be more at risk offreezing (e.g. already at -10°C). Refer tothe paragraph “Car inactivity” in “Startingand driving” if the car is left parked for along time.

If after buying the car, you want to installelectric accessories which require per-manent electric supply (alarm, etc.) con-tact Fiat Dealership whose qualified per-sonnel, in addition to suggesting the mostsuitable devices, will evaluate the overallelectric absorption, checking whether thecar’s electric system is capable of with-standing the load required, or whether itshould be integrated with a more power-ful battery.

Since these devices continue absorbing en-ergy even when the ignition key is off, theygradually run down the battery.

USEFUL ADVICE FORLENGTHENING THE LIFE OFYOUR BATTERY

To avoid draining your battery and length-en its life, observe the following indica-tions:

❒ when you park the car, ensure thedoors, tailgate and bonnet are closedproperly;

❒ switch off all lights inside the car: thecar is however equipped with a systemwhich switches all internal lights off au-tomatically;

❒ do not keep accessories (e.g. sound sys-tem, hazard lights, etc.) switched on fora long time when the engine is not run-ning;

❒ before performing any operation on theelectrical system, disconnect the bat-tery negative cable;

❒ battery terminals shall always be per-fectly tightened.

Incorrect assembly of electricand electronic devices maycause severe damage to yourcar. Go to a Fiat Dealership if

you want to install accessories (alarms,mobile phone, etc.): they will suggestthe most suitable devices and adviseyou if a higher capacity battery needsto be installed.

Batteries contain substancesthat can be very dangerousfor the environment. t is ad-visable to have the battery

changed by a Fiat Dealership where itwill be disposed of according to thelaw.

If the vehicle must remainunused for a long time at

very low temperature, remove thebattery and carry it to a warm place,to avoid freezing.

WARNING

When you must perform anyoperation on the battery or

near it, always protect your eyes withthe special goggles.

WHEELS AND TYRES

Check the pressure of each tyre, includ-ing the spare, every two weeks and beforelong journeys: the pressure should bechecked with the tyre rested and cold.

For the correct tyre inflation pressure, see“Wheels” in “Technical specifications”section.

Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyrewear fig. 15:

A normal pressure: tread evenly worn.

B low pressure: tread particularly wornat the edges.

C high pressure: tread particularly wornin the centre.

Tyres must be replaced when the treadwears down to 1,6 mm. In any case, com-ply with the laws in the country where thecar is being driven.

fig. 15 F0G0112m

IMPORTANT NOTES

❒ As far as possible, avoid sharp brakingand screech starts etc. Be careful notto hit the kerb, potholes or other ob-stacles hard. Driving for long stretch-es over bumpy roads can damage thetyres;

❒ periodically check that the tyres haveno cuts in the side wall, abnormalswelling or irregular tyre wear. If any ofthese occur, have the car seen to at aFiat Dealership;

❒ avoid overloading the car when travel-ling: this may cause serious damage tothe wheels and tyres;

❒ if a tyre is punctured, stop immediate-ly and charge it to avoid damage to thetyre, the rim, suspensions and steeringsystem;

RUBBER HOSES

As far as the brake system and fuel rubberhoses are concerned, carefully follow the“Service schedule” in this section.

Indeed ozone, high temperatures and pro-longed lack of fluid in the system maycause hardening and cracking of the hoses,with possible leaks. Careful control istherefore necessary.

❒ tyres age even if they are not usedmuch. Cracks in the tread rubber area sign of ageing. In any case, if the tyreshave been on the car for over 6 years,they should be checked by specialisedpersonnel, to see if they can still beused. Also remember to check thespare wheel;

❒ In the case of replacement, always fitnew tyres, avoiding those of dubiousorigin;

❒ If a tyre is changed, also change the in-flation valve;

❒ to allow even wear between the frontand rear tyres, it is advisable to changethem over every 10-15 thousand kilo-metres, keeping them on the same sideof the car so as not to reverse the di-rection of rotation.

Remember that road holdingdepends also on the correct

tyre inflating pressure.

WARNING

If the pressure is too low thetyre overheats and this can

cause it serious damage.

WARNING

Do not cross switch thetyres, moving them from the

right of the car to the left and viceversa.

WARNING

Never submit alloy rims torepainting treatments re-

quiring to use temperatures exceed-ing 150°C. The mechanical propertiesof the wheels could be impaired.

WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOWWIPERS

BLADES

Periodically clean the rubber part usingspecial products; TUTELA PROFES-SIONAL SC 35 is recommended.

If the rubber blades are bent or worn theyshould be replaced. In any case they shouldbe changed once a year.

A few simple notions can reduce the pos-sibility of damage to the blades:

❒ if the temperature falls below zero,make sure that ice has not frozen therubber against glass. If necessary, thawusing an antifreeze product;

❒ remove any snow from the glass: in ad-dition to protecting the blades, this pre-vents effort on the motor and over-heating;

❒ do not operate the windscreen andrear window wipers on dry glass.

Changing the windscreen wiper blades fig. 16

Proceed as follows:

❒ raise the windscreen wiper arm A andposition the blade so that it forms anangle of 90° with the arm;

❒ press tab B of the coupling spring andremove the blade to be replaced fromthe arm A;

❒ fit the new blade by inserting the tab in-to the special slot in the arm. Make sureit is properly locked into place.

fig. 16 F0G0218m

Driving with worn wiperblades is a serious hazard,

because visibility is reduced in badweather.

WARNING

Changing the rear window blade fig. 17

Proceed as follows:

❒ raise the cover A and remove the armfrom the car, slackening the nut B thatfastens it to the pivot pin;

❒ fit the new arm, positioning it correct-ly, and fully tighten the nut;

❒ lower the cover.

BODYWORK

PROTECTION FROMATMOSPHERIC AGENTS

The main causes of corrosion are the fol-lowing:

❒ atmospheric pollution;

❒ salty air and humidity (coastal areas, orhot humid climates);

❒ seasonal environment conditions.

Not to be underestimated is also the abra-sive action of wind-borne atmosphericdust and sand and mud and gravel raisedby other vehicles.

On your Fiat Panda, Fiat implemented thebest manufacturing technologies to effec-tively protect the bodywork against cor-rosion.

These include:

❒ Painting products and systems whichgive the car particular resistance to cor-rosion and abrasion;

❒ Use of galvanised (or pretreated) steelsheets, with high resistance to corro-sion;

❒ Spraying the underbody, engine com-partment, wheelhouse internal partsand other parts with highly protectivewax products;

SPRAY NOZZLES

Windscreen wiper fig. 18

If the jet of fluid is inadequate, firstly checkthat there is fluid in the reservoir: see“Checking fluid levels” in this section).

Then check that the nozzle holes are notclogged, if necessary use a needle.

The windscreen jets are directed by ad-justing the angle of the nozzles.

Fluid jets shall be directed at about 1/3height from the window upper edge.

Rear window wiper fig. 19

Rear window washer jets are fixed.

The nozzle holder is on the rear window.

❒ spraying of plastic parts, with a protec-tive function in the more exposedpoints: underdoor, inner fender parts,edges, etc;

❒ Use of “open” boxed sections to pre-vent condensation and pockets of mois-ture from triggering rust inside.

BODY AND UNDERBODY WARRANTY

Your Fiat Panda is covered by warrantyagainst perforation due to rust of any orig-inal element of the structure or body.

For the general terms of this warranty, re-fer to Fiat Warranty Booklet.

ADVICE FOR PRESERVING THE BODYWORK

Paint

Paintwork does not only serve an aesteth-ic purpose, but also protects the under-lying sheet metal.

In the case of deep scrapes or scores, youare advised to have the necessary touchingup carried out immediately to avoid the for-mation of rust. For touching up use onlyoriginal products (see “Bodywork paintidentification plate” in section “Technicalspecifications”).

Normal paint maintenance consists inwashing at intervals depending on the con-ditions and environment of use. For exam-ple, in highly polluted areas, or if the roadsare sprayed with salt, it is wise to wash thecar more frequently.

To correctly wash the car:

❒ remove the aerial from the roof to pre-vent damage to it if the car is washed inan automatic system;

❒ wash the body using a low pressure jetof water;

❒ wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy so-lution over the bodywork, frequentlyrinsing with the sponge;

❒ rinse well with water and dry with a jetof air or a chamois leather.

When drying, take particular care with theless visible parts like door surrounds, bon-net and around the headlights where wa-ter may stagnate. The car should not betaken to a closed area immediately, but leftin the open so that residual water canevaporate.

Do not wash the car after it has been leftin the sun or with the bonnet hot: this mayalter the shine of the paintwork.

Windows

Use specific window cleaner products.

Use also clean cloths to avoid scratchingthe glass or damaging the transparency.

IMPORTANT The inside of therearscreen should be wiped gently with acloth in the direction of the filaments toavoid damaging the heating device.

Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned inthe same way as the rest of the car.

Where possible, do not park under trees;the resinous substance many species re-lease give the paint a dull appearance andincrease the possibility of triggering rustprocesses.

IMPORTANT Bird droppings must bewashed off immediately and thoroughly asthe acid they contain is particularly ag-gressive.

Detergents cause water pollu-tion. Therefore the enginecompartment should bewashed in areas equipped for

collecting and purifying the liquid usedin the washing process.

CLEANING SEATS AND FABRICAND VELVET PARTS

Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to re-move dust. Velvet is cleaned better if thebrush is moistened.

Rub the seats with a sponge moistenedwith a solution of water and neutral de-tergent.

INTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS

For routine cleaning of interior plasticparts use a soft cloth moistened with wa-ter and neutral soap. Remove grease orpersisting stains using appropriate solvent-free products designed to preserve ap-pearance and colour of plastic compo-nents.

IMPORTANT Never use spirit or petro-leum to clean the instrument panel.

INTERIORS

Periodically check that water is nottrapped under the mats (due to waterdripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.) whichcould cause oxidisation of the sheet met-al.

Engine compartment

At the end of the winter the engine com-partment should be carefully washed,without directing the jet against electron-ic control units. Contact a specialisedworkshop to have this done.

IMPORTANT The car should be washedwith the engine cold and the ignition keyat STOP. After washing make sure thatthe various protections (e.g. rubber capsand various covers) have not been dam-aged or removed.

Front headlights

IMPORTANT Never use aromatic sub-stances (e.g.: petrol) or ketones (e.g.: ace-tone) for cleaning front headlight plasticlens.

Never use flammable prod-ucts like oil ether or rectified

petrol for cleaning car interiors. Elec-trostatic discharges generated by rub-bing during cleaning operations couldcause fire.

WARNING

Do not keep aerosol cans inthe car: they might explode.

Aerosol cans must never be exposedto a temperature above 50° C. Thetemperature inside the car exposedto the sun may go well beyond thatfigure.

PROVISIONS FOR THE PROCESSING OF A VEHICLE AT THE END OF ITS LIFE-CYCLE

For years now Fiat has been developing its global commitment towards the safeguarding and protection of the Environment throughthe continuous improvement of its production processes and the making of increasingly more “eco friendly” products. With a viewto guaranteeing the best possible service to clients in full observance of environmental standards and in response to the obligationsimposed by European Directive 2000/53/EC on end-of-life vehicles, Fiat offers its clients the possibility to hand in their vehicle* atthe end of its life span without additional costs.

The European Directive, in fact, provides for the take-back of the vehicle without the last holder or owner of the same incurring expenses due to the fact that the market value of the vehicle is zero or negative. In particular, in almost all of the countries of the European Union, up until 1st January 2007, take-back of the vehicle free of charge only applies to vehicles registered from 1 July 2002on, while, from 2007 on, take-back will be carried out free of charge, independently of the year of registration, provided that thevehicle still contains all its essential component parts (especially engine and body) and is free from additional waste materials.

Our contracted network of authorised treatment facilities has been carefully selected in order to provide a quality service to ourcustomers by de-polluting and recycling “End of Life Vehicles” to approved environmental standards. To find out the location of yournearest authorised treatment facility, offering free of charge take-back, simply contact one of our dealers or refer to the Fiat website or call the toll free number 00800 3428 0000.

* Passenger transportation vehicles to seat a max. of nine persons, having a total admissible weight of 3.5 t
