MUST BE READ!
REFUELLING

Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95.
Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel fuel for motor vehicles (EN 590 Specification).
The use of other products or mixtures may irreparably damage the engine with invalidation of the warranty due to
the damage caused.

ENGINE STARTING
Petrol engines: make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral; fully depress the clutch
without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.
Diesel engines: make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gearshift lever to neutral; fully depress the clutch
without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the warning lights Y and m to
go off; turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.

PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL



While working, the catalyst develops a very high temperature. Do not park the car over grass, dry leaves, pine needles or any other inflammable materials.

RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The car is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the components correlated with emissions to ensure better respect for the environment.

ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical accessories (that will gradually drain the battery), visit a Fiat
Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the car’s electric system can support the required load.

CODE card
Keep the code card in a safe place, not in the car. You should always keep the electronic card code written on the
CODE card with you in case you need to carry out an emergency start-up procedure.

SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring it stays in tip-top condition and safeguards its safety features, its environmental friendliness and low running costs for a long time to come.

THE OWNER HANDBOOK CONTAINS…
… information, tips and important warnings regarding the safe, correct driving of your car, and its maintenance. Pay
particular attention to the symbols " (personal safety) # (environmental protection) ! (the car’s wellbeing).

To further protect your car from theft, it
has been fitted with an engine immobilising
system. This system is automatically activated when the ignition key is removed.

fig. 3

F0G0003m

The plate summarising the symbols used
can be found under the bonnet fig. 3.

An electronic device, in fact, is fitted in each
ignition key grip. The device transmits a radio-frequency signal when the engine is
started through a special aerial built into the
ignition switch. The modulate signal, which
changes each time the engine is started, is
the password by means of which the control unit recognises the key and enables to
start the engine.
OPERATION
Each time the car is started turning the ignition key to MAR, the Fiat CODE system
control unit sends a recognition code to
the engine control unit to deactivate the inhibitor.
The code is sent only if the system control unit has recognised the code transmitted from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to the
STOP position, the Fiat CODE system
deactivates the functions of the engine
electronic control unit.
If the code has not been recognised correctly, the instrument panel warning light
Y turns on.

SAFETY
DEVICES

Special coloured labels have been attached
near or actually on some of the components of your Fiat Panda. These labels bear
symbols that remind you of the precautions to be taken as regards that particular component.

Warning light Y coming on when
driving
❒ If the warning light Y turns on, this
means that the system is running a selftest (for example for a voltage drop).
At the first stop, turn the ignition key
to STOP and then back to MAR: if no
failure is detected, warning light Y
will not come on.
❒ If the warning light Y stays on, repeat
the procedure described previously
leaving the key at STOP for over 30
seconds. Should the inconvenience persists, contact a Fiat Dealership.
❒ If the warning light Y stays on this
means that the code has not been
recognised. In this case the key should
be moved to the STOP position and
then back to MAR; if the lock continues, possibly try again with the other
keys provided with the car. If it is still
not possible to start the car, follow the
instructions given in section “In an
emergency” and then contact a Fiat
Dealership.

REV COUNTER fig. 18
The indicator B shows the engine rev

IMPORTANT The electronic injection
control system gradually shuts off the flow
of fuel when the engine is “over-revving”
resulting in a gradual loss of engine power.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter
may indicate a gradual or sudden highering of the speed.
This is normal as it takes place during normal operation, for example when activating the climate control system or the fan.
In particular a slow change in the speed
preserves the battery charge.

Do not travel with the fuel tank almost
empty: the gaps in fuel delivery could damage the catalyst.
IMPORTANT The needle sets to E with
warning light A flashing to indicate that the
system is failing. In this event contact Fiat
Dealership to have the system checked.

C Low engine coolant temperature.
H High engine coolant temperature.
The turning on of the warning light B (on
certain versions with a message on the reconfigurable multifunction display) indicates that the coolant fluid temperature is
too high; in this case, stop the engine and
contact a Fiat Dealership.

SAFETY
DEVICES

Under normal conditions, the needle
should hover around the middle of the
scale according to the working conditions.

CORRECT USE
OF THE CAR

This shows the temperature of the engine
coolant fluid and begins working when the
fluid temperature exceeds approx. 50°C.

If the needle reaches the red
area, stop the engine immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
(where provided)
According to the temperature set by the
user, the climate control system automatically adjusts:
❒ temperature of the air sent to the passenger’s compartment;
❒ fan speed (continuous air flow variation);
❒ air distribution in the passenger’s compartment;
❒ compressor activation / deactivation (to
cool / dehumidify air);
❒ air recirculation on / off.
The system continuously works to keep constant the comfort inside the passenger compartment and to compensate any variation
of the outside climate conditions.
All the above functions can be changed
manually by selecting the required function/s and by changing the set parameters.
Manual setting does not impair automatic control of the other functions although
the AUTO button led is off.
Manual selections prevail over automatic
ones and remain in storage until the user
decides to resume automatic control by
pressing button AUTO (except when the
system cuts in for particular safety conditions).

Pressing the button when the button led
is on, will deactivate compressor and turn
the button led off.
Pressing the button when the led is off will
activate compressor and turn the button
led on.

Button AUTO - A
Automatic climate control system
function on/off
Pressing the AUTO button and setting
the required temperature, the system automatically adjusts the temperature, the
amount and distribution of the air admitted to the passenger compartment and
controls compressor operation.

When turning the compressor off:
❒ the system will deactivate air recirculation to prevent window misting up;
❒ it is not possible to admit air to the passenger compartment with a temperature below the outside temperature
(the displayed temperature value will
flash when the system cannot guarantee the required comfort conditions);
❒ the fan speed can be set to zero manually (with compressor on, the fan
speed cannot be lower that one bar on
the display).

Button led on = recirculation on.

❒ all leds off;

Button led off = recirculation off.

❒ temperature display off;

With low temperatures or compressor
off, air recirculation is deactivated to prevent window misting up.

❒ air recirculation off;
❒ compressor off;
❒ fan off.
Under this condition, air recirculation can
be turned on or off without activating the
system.
IMPORTANT The system will store the
settings (except recirculation) performed
before turning off and will resume them
when pressing any button (if the function
corresponding to the button pressed is off
it will be turned on; if on it will be kept active). Press AUTO to turn the system in
automatic mode.

IMPORTANT It is inadvisable to use air
recirculation on cold days as it would considerably increase the possibility of windows misting up inside.
During AUTO operation, due to safety reasons, after long recirculation activation (over
25 minutes) the system will deactivate automatically air recirculation for 1 minute to
enable outside air inlet.
Buttons Õ Ô - E
Temperature setting
Pressing button Õ will raise the passenger’s compartment temperature up to HI
value (maximum heating power).

This functions can be switched on when
you wish to heat the passenger compartment as quickly as possible; air distribution and fan speed are controlled by the

To turn this function off, set the required
temperature.
IMPORTANT If the system fluid is not
warm enough, top fan speed will not be
activated immediately to prevent air not
warm enough from entering the passenger compartment.
LO function
This function can be switched on when
you wish to cool the passenger compartment as quickly as possible; with this function switched on the compressor will be
turned on (if off) whereas air distribution
and fan speed are controlled by the system.
To turn this function off, set the required
temperature.
IMPORTANT With the function switched
on, however, all the manual settings can
be made.

ABS INTERVENTION
When the ABS cuts in, you will feel the
brake pedal pulsating slightly and the system get noisier: it means that the speed
should be altered to fit the type of road surface.

WARNING
When the ABS cuts in, and
you feel the brake pedal pulsating, do not remove your foot, but
keep it pressed; in doing so you will
stop in the shortest amount of space
possible under the current road conditions.

WARNING
If the ABS system cuts in, it
is a sign that the grip between the tyre and the road surface
has reached the limit: you must slow
down to match the speed to the road
grip available.
WARNING
The ABS exploits the road
hold available as much as
possible but cannot increase it. You
should always drive carefully on slippery surfaces and avoid any unnecessary risks.

FAILURE WARNINGS
ABS failure fig. 88
If warning light > lights up on the instrument panel, together with the message on

device. Drive carefully to the nearest Fiat
Dealership to have the system checked.

EBD failure fig. 89
It is indicated by the turning on of warning lights > and x on the instrument

reconfigurable multifunction display
(where provided), see section “Warning
lights and messages”.
In this case with sharp braking the rear
wheels might lock too early, with the possibility of skidding . Drive extremely carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have
the system checked.

Failure indications

The ESP system is an electronic system
controlling the car stability in the event of
tyre grip loss.

In the event of failure, the ESP system is
automatically disconnected, the warning
light á comes on with fixed light on the
instrument panel, together with the message on the reconfigurable multifunction
display (where provided) and with the button led ASR OFF (see section “Warning
lights and messages”). In this case contact
a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

The ESP system is therefore particularly
useful when grip conditions of the road surfaces changes.
In addition to the ESP system, ASR system
(antislip regulation system) and HILL
HOLDER, also the MSR system (adjusting
the engine braking torque) and the HBA
system (improving the braking force during emergency braking) are provided.
ESP INTERVENTION
It is signalled by the blinking of the warning light á on the instrument panel, to inform the driver that the car is in critical
stability and grip conditions.

WARNING
Performance of the ESP system, in terms of active safety should not induce the driver to take
pointless and unnecessary risks. The
style of driving must in any case always be adapted to the conditions of
the road surface, visibility an traffic.
Road safety is always the driver’s responsibility.

HILL HOLDER SYSTEM
(where provided)
This system is an integral part of the ESP
system and it is provided to facilitate starting on slopes. It will activate automatically with the following conditions:
❒ Uphill: car at a standstill on a road with
a gradient higher than 2%, engine running, clutch and brake pedal pressed,
gearbox to neutral or engaged gear other than reverse;
❒ Downhill: car at a standstill on a road
with a gradient higher than 2%, engine
running, clutch and brake pedal pressed
and reverse gear engaged.
At pickup the ESP system control unit will
keep brake force on wheels until reaching
the torque suitable for starting, or in any
case for max. 2 seconds in order to pass
easily from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
After two seconds without starting, the
system will deactivate automatically by releasing gradually the brake force. At releasing, the typical brake disengagement
noise indicating that the car is going to
move will be heard.

FAILURE INDICATIONS
System failure is indicated by the turning
on of warning light * on the instrument
panel, together with the message on the
reconfigurable multifunction display
(where provided), see section “Warning
lights and messages”.
IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is
not a parking brake therefore, never leave
the car without having engaged the handbrake, turned the engine off and engaged
the first speed.
WARNING
During the use of the spacesaver spare wheel, the ESP
system carries on working. However,
you must remind that the space-saver
spare wheel has dimensions smaller
than the standard tyre and therefore
its grip is reduced as to the other car
tyres.

WARNING
For correct operation of the
ESP system, the tyres must
absolutely be of the same brand and
type on all wheels, in perfect conditions and, above all, of type, brand
and size specified.

ASR SYSTEM
(Antislip Regulation)
The ASR function controls car drive and
cuts in automatically every time one or
both driving wheels slip.
In slipping conditions, two different control systems are activated:
❒ if slipping involves both driving wheels,
the ASR function intervenes reducing
the power transmitted by the engine;
❒ if the slipping involves only one driving
wheel, the ASR system cuts in automatically braking the wheel that is slipping.
The action of the ASR is particularly helpful in the following circumstances:
❒ slipping of the inner wheel due to the
effect of dynamic load changes or excessive acceleration;
❒ too much power transmitted to the
wheels also in relation to the conditions
of the road surface;
❒ acceleration on slippery, snowy or
frozen surfaces;
❒ in the case of loss of grip on a wet surface (aquaplaning).

When travelling on snowy roads with
snow chains, it may be helpful to turn the
ASR off: in fact, in these conditions, slipping of the driving wheels when moving off
makes it possible to obtain better drive.

MSR system
(engine braking torque control)

F0G0267m

Switching the
ASR system on/off fig. 90
The ASR function switches on automatically each time the engine is started.
When travelling ASR can be switched off

System activation is indicated by the relevant message on the reconfigurable multifunction display (where provided).
When the ASR is switched off this is
shown by the lighting up of the led on the
button ASR OFF and by relevant message
on the reconfigurable multifunction display
(where provided). If the ASR is switched
off when travelling, it will turn on again automatically the next time the engine is
started.

WARNING
The performance of the system, in terms of active safety should not induce the driver to take
pointless and unnecessary risks. The

motor overheating. No servicing is required. The electric power steering system will return to normal operation the
next time the car is used.

PARKING SENSORS
(where provided)
Parking sensors are located in the rear
bumper fig. 95 and their function is to inform the driver, through an intermittent
buzzer, about the presence of obstacles
behind the car.
ACTIVATION

fig. 95

The sensors are automatically activated
when the reverse gear is engaged.

Direction distances

The sound produced by the acoustic alarm
becomes louder when the distance between the car and the obstacle decreases.
BUZZER WARNINGS

WARNING
Always switch the engine off,
remove the key from the
starting device and actuate the steering lock before carrying out any maintenance operation, especially when
the wheels are raised from the
ground. In case this is not possible
(e.g. when the key must be in MAR
position or the engine running); remove the electric power steering
main fuse before carrying out any
maintenance operation.

When the reverse gear is engaged an intermittent acoustic signal is automatically
activated (short beep indicating that sensors are active).
The acoustic signal:
❒ becomes louder as the reduction of distance between the car and the obstacle decreases;
❒ becomes continuous when the distance
between the car and the obstacle is less
that 30 cm and stops if the distance raises;
❒ is constant if the distance is unvaried.

F0G0692m

Central action radius 120 cm
Side action radius 60 cm
If several obstacles are detected, the control unit indicates the nearest one.

❒ When parking, take the utmost care to
obstacles that may be set above or under the sensors.

OPERATION WITH TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is deactivated
automatically when the trailer electric cable plug is fitted into the car tow hook
socket.
Sensors are reactivated automatically
when removing the trailer cable plug.

For proper operation, the
parking sensors shall always
be clean from mud, dirt, snow
or ice. When cleaning the sensors, take the utmost care to prevent
their damaging; do not use therefore
dry or rough clothes. Sensors shall be
washed with clean water and car detergent, if required. In washing stations,
clean sensors quickly keeping the
vapour jet/high pressure washing nozzles at 10 cm at least from the sensors.

❒ Objects set close to the car rear part,
under certain circumstances are not detected and could therefore cause damages to the car.
❒ Indications sent by the sensors can be
altered by dirt, snow or ice deposited
on the sensors or by ultrasound systems (e.g.: truck pneumatic brakes or
pneumatic hammers) set nearby the
car.

WARNING
Parking manoeuvres however are always under the driver’s responsibility that shall always
check the absence of people (specially children) or animals in the manoeuvre space. This system is just a
help for the driver but she/he shall
never reduce attention during dangerous manoeuvres even if performed
at low speed.

SAFETY
DEVICES

In the event of sensor failures, the driver
is warned when engaging reverse by a 3second beep.

ACCESSORIES PURCHASED
BY THE OWNER
If after buying the car, you decide to install
electrical accessories that require a permanent electric supply (alarm, satellite antitheft system, etc.) or accessories that in
any case burden the electric supply, contact Fiat Dealership, whose qualified personnel, besides suggesting the most suitable devices belonging to Lineaccessori Fiat, will also evaluate the overall electric absorption, checking whether the car’s electric system is able to withstand the load
required, or whether it needs to be integrated with a more powerful battery.

Fiat Auto S.p.A. authorizes the installation
of transceivers provided that installation
is carried out at a specialized shop, workmanlike performed and in compliance with
manufacturer's specifications.
IMPORTANT Installation of devices resulting in modifications of vehicle characteristics may cause driving license seizing
by traffic agents and also the lapse of the
warranty as concerns defects due to the
abovementioned modification or traceable
back to it directly or indirectly.
Fiat Auto S.p.A. declines all responsibility
for damages caused by the installation of
non-genuine accessories or not recommended by Fiat Auto S.p.A. and installed
not in compliance with the specified requirements.

IMPORTANT The use of similar devices
inside the passenger compartment (without separated aerial) produces radio-frequency electromagnetic fields which, amplified by the resonance effects inside the
passenger compartment, may cause electrical systems equipping the vehicle to malfunction. This could compromise safety in
addition to constituting a potential hazard
for the passengers.
In addition, transmission and reception of
these devices may be affected by the
shielding effect of the vehicle body.
As concerns EC-approved mobile phones
(GSM, GPRS, UMTS), strictly comply with
the instructions for use provided by the
mobile phone’s manufacturer.

PETROL ENGINES

Use only unleaded petrol.
To prevent errors, the diameter of the fuel tank filler is too small to introduce a lead
petrol pump filler.
Use petrol with a rated octane number
(R.O.N.) not lower than 95.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalyst leads
to harmful exhaust emissions, thus contributing to air pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol,
even in small amount or in an emergency,
as this would damage the catalyst beyond
repair.

DIESEL ENGINES
Operation at low temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, the
diesel thickens due to the formation of
paraffin and could cause the malfunctioning of the fuel system.
In order to avoid these problems, different types of diesel are distributed according to the season: summer type, winter type and arctic type (cold, mountain
areas). If refuelling with diesel fuel not suitable for the current temperature, mix
diesel fuel with TUTELA DIESEL ART additive in the proportions stated on the can,
putting first the antifreeze in the tank and
then the diesel fuel.
If driving or parking the vehicle for a long
period in cold areas/mountains, refuel with
the diesel fuel available at local filling stations.
In this situation you are also recommended to have in the tank an amount of
fuel 50% higher than usable capacity.

fig. 98

F0G0041m

The car must only be filled
with diesel fuel for motor vehicles, in compliance with European Standard EN590. The
use of other products or mixtures may
irreparably damage the engine with invalidation of the warranty due to the
damage caused. In the event of accidentally filling with another type of fuel, do not start the engine and empty
the tank. If the engine has been run
even for only a very short time, in addition to the tank, it is also necessary
to drain out the whole fuel circuit.
REFUELLING
To guarantee full tank filling, carry out two
refuelling operations after the first click of
the fuel delivery gun. Avoid further topping up operations that could cause damages to the fuel system.

❒ Lambda sensor;
fig. 99

F0G0042m

FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 98 and 99
The fuel filler cap B is fitted with an antiloss device C which fastens it to the flap
A so it cannot be mislaid.
To slacken the cap B first open the flap A.
The sealing of the tank may cause light
pressurising in the tank. A little breathing
off, while slackening the cap is absolutely
normal.
When refuelling, position the cap on the
device inside the flap as shown in the figure.

Do not put naked flames or
lighted cigarettes near the fuel filler hole as there is a danger of fire. Do not bend too
close to the hole either so as not to
breathe in harmful vapours.

❒ fuel evaporation system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even
for a test, with one or more spark plugs
disconnected.
The devices for curtailing diesel fuel engine emissions are the following:
❒ oxidising catalytic converter;
❒ exhaust gas recirculation system
(E.G.R.);
❒ diesel particulate filter (DPF).

SAFETY
DEVICES

❒ three-way catalytic converter;

CORRECT USE

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
(DPF) (for 1.3 Multijet versions
75 HP)

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

The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter, integral with the exhaust system,
that physically traps particulates present
in the exhaust gases of Diesel engines.

Reclaiming procedure is controlled automatically by the engine control unit according to the filter conditions and the
conditions of use of the vehicle.

The diesel particular filter has been adopted to eliminate almost totally particulates
in compliance with current / future law
regulations.

During reclaiming the following phenomena could take place: idling slight increase,
fan activation, slight smoke increase, high
exhaust temperatures. These situations
shall not be considered as faults and they
do not affect vehicle performance and environment.

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

When the car is parked on a steep slope
the reel mechanism may block; this is normal. The reel mechanism prevents the
webbing coming out when it is jerked or
if the car brakes sharply, in a collision or
when cornering at high speeds.
The rear seat is fitted with inertial seat
belts with three anchor points and reel.
As an optional, (only for homologated 5seat cars) also the centre seat can be fitted with three anchor points and reel or
with lap belt with two anchor points for

Panda is fitted with pretensioners. These
devices “feel”, through a sensor, that a violent crash is in progress and rewind the
seat belts a few centimetres. In this way
they ensure that the seat belt adheres perfectly to the wearer before the restraining action begins.
The seat belt locks to indicate that the device has intervened; the seat belt cannot
be drawn back up even when guiding it
manually.

PRETENSIONERS

WARNING
Remember that in the case
of a violent collision, back
seat passengers not wearing seat belts
also represent a serious danger to the
passengers in the front.

IMPORTANT To obtain the highest degree of protection from the action of the
pretensioning device, wear the seat belt
keeping it firmly close to the chest and
pelvis.
A small amount of smoke may be produced. This smoke is in no way toxic and
presents no fire hazard.
The pretensioner does not require any
maintenance or greasing. Anything that
modifies its original conditions invalidates
its efficiency. If due to unusual natural
events (floods, sea storms, etc.) the device
has been affected by water and mud, it
must necessarily be replaced.

Operations which lead to
knocks, vibrations or localised
heating (over 100°C for a
maximum of 6 hours) in the
area around the pretensioners may
cause damage or trigger them. These
devices are not affected by vibrations
caused by irregularities of the road surface or low obstacles such as kerbs, etc.
Contact a Fiat Dealership for any assistance.

DASHBOARD
AND CONTROLS

LOAD LIMITERS

The driver must comply with (and have
the car occupants follow) all the local law
regulations concerning the use of seat
belts. Always fasten the seat belts before
starting.
Seat belts are also to be worn by expectant mothers: the risk of injury in the case
of accident is greatly reduced for them and
the unborn child if they are wearing a seat
belt. Of course they must position the
lower part of the belt very low down so
that it passes under the abdomen (as illustrated in fig. 6).

fig. 6

F0G0046m

WARNING
For maximum safety, keep
the back of your seat upright, lean back into it and make sure
the seat belt fits closely across your
chest and hips. Make sure that the
seat belts of the front and rear passengers are fastened at all times! You
increase the risk of serious injury or
death in a collision if you travel with
the belts unfastened.

WARNING
Under no circumstances
should the components of
the seat belts and pretensioners be
tampered with or removed. Any operation should be carried out by qualified and authorised personnel. Always contact a Fiat Dealership.

❒ always use the belt with the tap taut and
never twisted; make sure that it is free
to run without impediments;

fig. 7

F0G0044m

IMPORTANT The belt should not be
twisted. The upper part should pass over
the shoulder and cross the chest diagonally. The lower part should adhere to the
pelvis (as illustrated in fig. 7) and not to
the abdomen of the passenger. Do not use
any objects (pegs, stoppers, etc.) to keep
the belts away from the body.

fig. 8

F0G0045m

IMPORTANT Each belt shall be used by
one person only: never travel with a child
sitting on the passenger’s lap with a single belt to protect them both fig. 8. Do
not fasten other objects to the body.

WARNING
If the belt has been subjected to heavy stress, for example after and accident, it should be
changed completely together with
the anchors, anchor fastening screws
and the pretensioners. In fact, even if
the belt has no visible defects, it could
have lost its resilience.

❒ after a serious accident, replace the belt
being worn at that time, even if it does
not appear damaged. Always replace
the seat belt if pretensioners have been
activated;
❒ to clean the belts, wash by hand with
neutral soap, rinse and leave to dry in
the shade. Never use strong detergents, bleach or dyes or other chemical substance that might weaken the fibres;
❒ prevent the reels from getting wet:
their correct operation is only guaranteed if water does not get inside;
❒ replace the seat belt when showing significant wear or cut signs.

This prescription is compulsory in all EC
countries according to EC Directive
2003/20/EC.
Compared with adults, their head is proportionally larger and heavier than the rest
of the body, while the muscles and bone
structure are not completely developed.
Therefore, correct restraint systems are
necessary, other then adult seat belts.
The results of research on the best child
restraint systems are contained in the European Standard ECE- R44. This Standard
enforces the use of restraint systems classified in five groups:
Group 0
0-10 kg in weight
Group 0+
0-13 kg in weight
Group 1
9-18 kg in weight
Group 2
15-25 kg in weight
Group 3
weight 22 - 36 kg

Over 1.50 m in height, from the point of
view of restraint systems, children are
considered as adults and wear the seat
belts normally.
Lineaccessori Fiat offers seats for each
weight group, which are the recommended choice, as they have been designed and
experimented specifically for Fiat cars.

DASHBOARD
AND CONTROLS
SAFETY
DEVICES

This is even more important for children.

All restraint devices must bear the certification data, together with the control
brand, on a solidly fixed label which must
absolutely never be removed.

CORRECT USE
OF THE CAR

For optimal protection in the event of a
crash, all passengers must be seated and
wearing adequate restraint systems.

WARNING
SERIOUS DANGER: Never
place cradle child’s seats on
the front passenger seat of
cars fitted with passenger’s
air bag. The air bag activation could cause serious injuries, even mortal. You are advised
to carry children always on the rear
seats, as this is the most protected position in the case of a crash. In any
case, children’s seats must absolutely
not be fitted on the front seat of cars
with passenger’s air bag, which during inflation could cause serious injury, even mortal, regardless of the seriousness of the crash that triggered
it. Children may be placed on the
front seat of cars fitted with passenger’s air bag deactivation. In this case,
it is absolutely necessary to check the
warning light F on the cluster to
make sure that deactivation has actually taken place (see paragraph
“Passenger’s front air bag” at item
“Front air bags”). The front passenger’s seat shall be adjusted in the
most backward position to prevent
any contact between child’s seat and

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

❒ Only one child is to be strapped to each
retaining system.

❒ The recommended position for installing children’s seat is on the rear
seat, as it is the most protected in the
case of a crash.

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

❒ If the passenger’s air bag is deactivated
always check the instrument panel
warning light F (amber) to make
sure that it has actually been deactivated.
❒ Attain to the instructions for fastening
the specific child restraint system which
you are using. These instructions must
be provided by the manufacturer. Keep
the child restraint system installation instructions with the car documents and
this Handbook. Never use a child restraint system without installation instructions.
❒ Always check the seat belt is well fastened by pulling the webbing.

❒ While travelling, do not let the child sit
incorrectly or release the belts.
❒ Passengers should never carry children
on their laps. No-one, however strong
they are, can hold a child in the event
of a crash.
❒ In case if an accident, replace the seat
with a new one.

WARNING
In cars fitted with passenger
air bag never place child’s restraint systems on the front seat since
children shall never be seated on the
front passenger seat.

Due to its different anchoring system, the
child’s seat shall be anchored using the
proper metal brackets set between rear
seat back and cushion or in the rear seat
cover, identified by slots A-fig. 13.

fig. 13

F0G0055m

It is possible to mount both the traditional
restraint system and the Isofix type one,
one on the left and the other on the right,
for example.
Since sizes are different, it is possible to
install max. two Isofix type seats on the
rear seats using the proper fastening devices or three traditional child’s seats secured by the seat belts. Only traditional
child’s seats can be installed on front seats.
Use only Isofix type child’s seats that have
been designed, experimented and approved expressly for this car.

SAFETY
DEVICES
CORRECT USE
OF THE CAR

Fiat Panda is created preset for mounting
the Isofix type child restraint system, a
new European standardised child restraint
system. Isofix type is an additional option
that does not prevent from using traditional child restraint systems. Isofix type
child restraint system covers three groups:
0, 0+ and 1.

WARNING
Mount the child restraint
system only with the car stationary. The child restraint system is
properly anchored to the mounting
brackets when clicks are heard. In any
case, keep to the installation instructions that must be provided by the
child restraint system Manufacturer.

For children of this weight group (babies
up to 13 kg), the child’s seat is facing backwards and the child restrained by the
child’s seat belts D-fig. 14.
As the child grows, passing to weight

For proper mounting proceed as follows:

❒ find the presetting brackets A, then position the child restraint system with

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

With this configuration, the child is secured also by the car seat belts and by the
upper belts. To apply car seat belts to
child’s seat refer to the child’s seat handbook.

FRONT AIR BAGS
The front air bag (driver and passenger)
has been designed to protect the occupants in the event of head-on crashes of
medium-high severity, by placing the cushion between the occupant and the steering wheel or dashboard.
Front air bags are designed to protect
car’s occupants in front crashes and therefore non-activation in other types of collisions (side collisions, rear shunts, rollovers, etc.) is not a system malfunction.
In case of front crash, an electronic control unit, when required, triggers the inflation of the cushion according to the
severity of the collision.

The front air bag (driver and passenger) is
not a replacement of but complementary
to the use of belts, which should always
be worn, as specified by law in Europe and
most non-European countries.
In case of crash, a person not wearing the
seat belt moves forward and may come into contact with the cushion while it is still
inflating. Under this circumstance the protection offered by the air bag is reduced.

SAFETY
DEVICES

❒ check proper locking by moving the
child’s seat with force: the built-in safety mechanism actually inhibits improper coupling with only one coupling
locked.

The cushion immediately inflates, placing
itself as a protection between the body
of the front occupants and the structure
that could cause injuries. Immediately after, the cushion deflates.

Front air bag may not be activated in the
following situations:
❒ in collisions against highly deformable
objects not affecting the car front surface (e.g. bumper collision against guard
rail);
❒ car wedging under other vehicles or
protective barriers (for example under
a truck or guard rail);
as it offers no additional protection compared with the seat belts, consequently,
it would be pointless. Therefore, failure to
come into action in the above circumstances does not mean that the system is
not working properly.

WARNING
Do not apply stickers or other objects to the steering
wheel or to the air bag cover on the
passenger’s side or on the side roof
lining. Never put objects (e.g. mobile
phones) on the dashboard on passenger side since they could interfere
with proper passenger air bag inflation and also cause serious injury.

The driver’s and passenger’s front Air bags
have been designed and calibrated to improve the protection of a person wearing seat belts.

H
F

At their maximum inflation, their volume
fills most of the space between the dashboard and the passenger.
In minor side crashes (for which the restraining action of the seat belts is sufficient), the air bags are not deployed. Also in this case it is of vital importance to
wear the seat belts since in case of side
crash they guarantee proper positioning
of the occupant.

The key-operated switch has two positions fig. 18:
❒ passenger’s front air bag activated (ON
position P): warning light F on instrument cluster off; it is absolutely prohibited to carry a child on the front
seat.
❒ passenger’s front air bag deactivated
(OFF position F): warning light F
on instrument cluster on; it is possible
to carry a child protected by special restraint system on the front seat.
The warning light F on the cluster stays
on permanently until the passenger’s air
bag is reactivated.
Deactivation of the passenger’s front air
bag does not inhibit operation of the side
air bag.

It consists of an instant inflation cushion
housed in the back rest of the front seat
and has the task to increase protection
of the occupants’ chest in the event of a
side crash of medium-high severity.

fig. 19

F0G0058m

They are “curtain” cushions located behind the side coverings of the roof and
covered by proper finishings, studied for
the head protection to offer the best protection to the front and rear occupants
in the event of side crash, thanks to the
wide cushion inflation surface.
IMPORTANT In the event of side crash,
you can obtain the best protection by the
system keeping a correct position on the
seat, allowing thus a correct window bag
unfolding.
IMPORTANT The front air bags and/or
side bags may be deployed if the car is subject to heavy knocks or accidents involving the underbody area, such as for example violent shocks, against steps, kerbs
or low obstacles, falling of the car in big
holes or sags in the road.

IMPORTANT Should an accident occur in
which any of the safety devices is activated, take the car to a Fiat Dealership to
have the devices activated replaced and to
have the system checked.
All control, repair and replacement operations concerning the Air bags must only be carried out c/o Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT The triggering of pretensioners, front air bags and side bags is decided in a differentiated manner by the
electronic control unit, depending on the
type of crash. The failure to deploy one or
more of them does not mean that the system is not working properly.

WARNING
Never rest head, arms and
elbows on the door, on the
windows and in the windowbag area
to prevent possible injuries during inflation phase.

WARNING
Never put head, arms and elbows out of window.

DASHBOARD
AND CONTROLS
SAFETY
DEVICES

If you are having the car scrapped, have
the air bag system deactivated at a Fiat

IMPORTANT When the airbag inflates it
emits a small amount of dusts. These dusts
are harmless and is not the beginning of
a fire; then the unfold cushion surface and
the car interiors can be covered by a dusty

eyes. In case of contact, wash yourself using neutral soap and water. Expiration
dates of pyrotechnic charge and coil contact are indicated on the label inside the
glovebox. As these dates approach, contact Fiat Dealership to have them replaced.

GENERAL WARNINGS
WARNING
If when turning the key to
MAR the warning light ¬
does not turn on or if it stays on when
travelling there could be a failure in
safety systems; in this event air bags
or pretensioners could not trigger in
case of impact or, in a minor number of cases, they could trigger accidentally. Contact Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system
checked.

WARNING
Do not cover the backrest of
front seats with trims or covers that are not suitable to be used
with side bags.

WARNING
Never travel with objects on
your lap, in front of your
chest or with a pipe, pencil, etc. between your lips; injury may result in
the event of the air bag being triggered.

WARNING
If the car has been stolen or
an attempt to steal it has
been made, if it has been subjected to
vandals or floods, have the air bag
system checked by Fiat Dealership.

WARNING
Always keep your hands on
the steering wheel rim when
driving, so that if the air bag is triggered, it can inflate without meeting
any obstacles which could cause serious harm to you. Do not drive with
the body bent forwards, keep the seat
back rest in the erect position and
lean your back well against it.

WARNING
Remember that with the key
engaged and at MAR, even if
the engine is not running, the air bags
may be triggered on a stationary car
if it is bumped by another moving car.
Therefore, never seat children on the
front seat even when the car is stationary. On the other hand remember that if the key is at STOP, no safety system (air bags or pretensioners)
is triggered in the event of an impact;
in this case, failure to come into action cannot be considered as a sign
that the system is not working properly.

WARNING
Do not hook rigid objects to
the coat hooks and to the
support handles.

SAFETY
DEVICES

WARNING
Do not wash the seat back
rest with pressurised water
or steam (by hand or at automatic
seat washing stations).

WARNING
The air bag does not substitute the seat belts, but only
increases their effectiveness. Moreover, since the front air bags do not
come into operation in the event of
front impact at low speed, side collisions, bumps from behind or overturning, in these circumstances the
occupants would only be protected
by the seat belts which must therefore
always be fastened.

CORRECT USE
OF THE CAR

WARNING
The front air bag is triggered
for shocks greater in magnitude that the pretensioners. For impacts between these two thresholds,
it is therefore normal that only the
pretensioners are triggered.

WARNING
LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES

WARNING
When the ignition key is
turned to the MAR position,
the warning light F (with passenger’s front air bag deactivation switch
in the ON position) turns on and
flashes for few seconds to remind that
the passenger’s air bag will be deployed in a crash, after which it
should go off.

We recommend that during
the initial period you do not
drive to full car performance
(e.g.: excessive acceleration,
long journeys at top speed, sharp braking, etc.).

When the engine is switched
off never leave the ignition
key in the MAR position to
prevent pointless current absorption from draining the battery.

STARTING PROCEDURE
FOR PETROL VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❒ ensure that the handbrake is up;
❒ put the gear lever in neutral;

WARNING
Running the engine in confined areas is extremely dangerous. The engine consumes oxygen
and produces carbon monoxide
which is a highly toxic and lethal gas.

WARNING
Remember that the servobrake and power steering
are not operational until the engine
has been started, therefore much effort than usual is required on the
brake pedal and steering wheel.

❒ press the clutch pedal down to the
floor without touching the accelerator;
❒ turn the ignition key to AVV and let
it go the moment the engine starts.
If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return the ignition key to STOP
before repeating starting.
If, when the ignition key is at MAR, warning light Y remains lit together with
warning light U turn the key to STOP
STOP and then back to MAR; if the warning light remains on, try with the other
keys provided with the car.
If you are still unable to start the engine,
perform the emergency start-up procedure (see “Emergency start-up” in “In an
emergency” chapter) and contact Fiat
Dealership.

❒ Put the gear lever into neutral;
❒ Turn the ignition key to MAR: the
warning lights m and Y on the instrument panel will turn on;
❒ Wait for the warning lights Y and
m to turn off. The hotter the engine
is, the quicker this will happen;
❒ Press the clutch pedal down to the
floor without touching the accelerator;
❒ Turn the ignition key to AVV as soon
as warning light m goes out. If you
wait too long you will lose the benefit
of the work done by the glow plugs.
Release the key as soon as the engine
starts.
IMPORTANT With cold engine, the accelerator pedal shall be completely released while turning the ignition key to
AVV.

Proceed as follows:

If you still cannot start the engine, contact
Fiat Dealership.

❒ Do not drive at full performance for the
initial kilometres. Wait until the coolant
temperature gauge starts moving.

❒ Drive off slowly, letting the engine turn
at medium revs. Do not accelerate
abruptly;

EMERGENCY START-UP
The warning light m will
flash for 60 seconds at startup or during prolonged cranking to indicate a fault in the
glow plug heating system. You can use
the car as usual if the engine starts but
you should contact Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible.

If the instrument panel warning light Y
stays on with fixed light, the emergency
start-up can be performed by using the
CODE card code (see section “In an
emergency”).

Never bump start the engine
by pushing, towing or coasting downhill. These operations could cause fuel to flow
into the catalytic exhaust system and
damage it beyond repair.

DASHBOARD

A quick burst on the accelerator before turning off the engine serves absolutely no
practical purpose, it wastes
fuel and is damaging especially to turbocharged engines.

❒ Stop the engine and engage the handbrake;
❒ engage a gear (1st if the car is faced uphill or reverse if it is faced downhill) and
leave the wheels steered.
Block the wheels with a wedge or a stone
if the car is parked on a steep slope.

The handbrake lever is located between
the two front seats.
Pull the handbrake lever upwards until the
car cannot be moved.
Four or five clicks are generally enough
when the car is on level ground while nine
or ten may be required if the car is on a
steep slope or laden.
IMPORTANT If this is not the case, contact Fiat Dealership to have the handbrake
adjusted.
When the handbrake lever is pulled up
and the ignition key is at MAR, the instrument panel warning light x will turn

CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Some useful tips are given below for fuel
saving and reducing harmful emissions of
CO2 and other pollutants (nitrogen oxides, unburnt hydrocarbons, Particulate
Matter (PM) etc.).
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out
in accordance with the “Service schedule”.
Tyres
Check the pressure of the tyres routinely at an interval of no more than 4 weeks:
if the pressure is too low, consumption
levels increase as resistance to rolling is
higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with too much luggage
stowed in the boot. The weight of the car
(especially when driving in town) and its
trim greatly affects consumption and stability.

Accessories installed on
longitudinal bars

DRIVING STYLE

Remove accessories like: roof racks, ski
racks, luggage container, etc. from the roof
as soon as they are no longer used. These
accessories lower air penetration and adversely affect consumption levels. When
needing to carry particularly voluminous
objects, preferably use a trailer.

Starting

Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount
of time needed. Rear heated window, additional headlights, windscreen wipers and
heater fan need a considerable amount of
energy, therefore increasing the requirement of current increases fuel consumption (up to +25% in the urban cycle).

Do not warm the engine with the car at
a standstill or at idle or high speed: under
these conditions the engine warms up
much more slowly, increasing electrical
consumption and emissions. It is therefore
advisable to move off immediately, slowly, avoiding high speeds: this way the engine will warm faster.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid accelerating when waiting at traffic
lights or before switching off the engine.
This and also double declutching is absolutely pointless on modern cars and also increases consumption and pollution.

Climate control

Gear selection

The air conditioner is an additional load
which greatly affects the engine leading to
higher consumption (on average up to
+20%). When the temperature outside
the car permits it, use the air vents where
possible.

As soon as the conditions of the traffic and
road allow, use a higher gear. Using a low
gear to obtain brilliant performance increases consumption.

Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic
items may adversely affect air drag and
consumption levels.

In the same way improper use of a high
gear increases consumption, emissions an
engine wear.

Accelerating violently increasing the revs
will greatly affect consumption and emissions: acceleration should be gradual.

IMPORTANT NOTES
For towing caravans or trailers the car
must be fitted with a certified tow hook
and an adequate electric system. Installation should be carried out by specialised
personnel who release a special document
for circulation on the road.

Traffic situations and road
conditions

Install any specific and/or additional rearview mirrors as specified by law.

Rather high consumption levels are tied to
situations with heavy traffic, for example
in queues with frequent use of the lower
gears or in cities with many traffic lights.
Also winding mountain roads and rough
road surfaces adversely affect consumption.

Remember that when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, the braking spaces increase and overtaking takes
longer depending on the overall weight.

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

Engage a low gear when driving downhill,
rather than constantly using the brake.
The weight the trailer exerts on the car
tow hook reduces by the same amount
the actual car loading capacity. To make
sure the maximum towable weight is not
exceeded (given in the log book) account
should be taken of the fully laden trailer,
including accessories and personal belongings.

DASHBOARD
AND CONTROLS

Short journeys and frequent cold starts do
not allow the engine to reach optimum operating temperature. This results in a significant increase in consumption levels
(from +15 to +30% on the urban cycle)
and emission of harmful substances.

SAFETY
DEVICES

Acceleration

TOWING TRAILERS

CORRECT USE
OF THE CAR

Fuel consumption considerably increases
with speed. Avoid superfluous braking and
accelerating, which cost in terms of both

WARNING
Under no circumstances
should the car brake system
be altered to control the trailer brake.
The trailer braking system must be
fully independent of the car’s hydraulic system.

INSTALLING THE TOW HOOK
The towing device should be fastened to
the body by specialised personnel according to any additional and/or integrative information supplied by the Manufacturer of
the device.
The towing device must meet current regulations with reference to 94/20/CEE Directive and subsequent amendments.
For any version the towing device used
must match the towable weight of the car
on which it is to be installed.
For the electric connection a unified connector should be used which is generally
placed on a special bracket normally fastened to the towing device, and a special
ECU for external trailer light control shall
be installed on the car.
For the electric connection, a 7 pin
12VDC connection is to be used (CUNA/UNI and ISO/DIN Standards). Follow
the instructions provided by the car manufacturer and/or the tow hitch manufacturer.

An electric brake should be supplied directly by the battery through a cable with
a cross section of no less than 2.5 mm2.
IMPORTANT Electric brake or other device shall be used with running engine.
In addition to the electrical branches, the
car electric system can only be connected to the supply cable for an electric brake
and to the cable for an internal light,
though not above 15W.
For connections use a preset control unit
with battery cable no less than 2.5 mm2.

After fitting, screw holes shall be sealed to

For the type of tyre to be used, inflation
pressures and the specifications of snow
tyres, follow the instructions given in paragraph “Wheels” in section “Technical
specifications”.
The winter features of these tyres are reduced considerably when the tread depth
is below 4 mm. In this case, they should
be replaced.
Due to the snow tyre features, under normal conditions of use or on long motorway journeys, the performance of these
tyres is lower than that of normal tyres. It
is therefore necessary to limit their use to
the purposes for which they are certified.

Check the tension of the chains after driving some ten metres.

Remember that it is inappropriate to
change the direction of rotation of tyres.

WARNING
The max speed for snow
tyres with “Q” marking is
160 km/h. The Road Traffic Code
speed limits must however be always
strictly observed.

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

IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be fitted to the space saver spare wheel. So, if
a front (drive) wheel is punctured and
chains are needed, a rear wheel should be
fitted to the front of the car and the spare
wheel should be fitted to the rear. This
way with two normal drive wheels, snow
chains can be fitted to them to solve an
emergency.

DASHBOARD
AND CONTROLS

All four tyres should be the same (brand
and track) to ensure greater safety when
driving and braking and better driveability.

Use of snow chains should be in compliance with local regulations.

SAFETY
DEVICES

Fiat Dealership will be happy to provide
advice concerning the most suitable type
of tyre for the customer’s requirements.

SNOW CHAINS

CORRECT USE
OF THE CAR

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

IMPORTANT When snow tyres are used
with a max speed index below the one
that can be reached by the car (increased
by 5%), place a notice in the passenger’s
compartment, plainly in the driver’s view
which states the max permissible speed of
the snow tyres (as per EC Directive).

WARNING

MESSAGES

SNOW TYRES

Pagina 111

IN AN
EMERGENCY

Keep your speed down when
snow chains are fitted; do not
exceed 50 km/h. Avoid potholes, steps and pavements
and avoid also to drive for long distances on roads not covered with snow
to prevent damaging the car and the
roadbed.

ENGINE STARTING

❒ press and hold down the accelerator
pedal: the warning light U turns on for
about 8 seconds, and then goes off;

EMERGENCY START-UP

❒ release the accelerator pedal and get
ready to count the flashes of the warning light U;

If the Fiat CODE system fails to deactivate
engine immobilising system the instrument
panel warning lights Y and U stay on
and the engine cannot be started.
To start the engine the emergency startup can be performed.
Read the whole procedure carefully before trying to carry it out: if you make a
mistake, you must turn the ignition key
back to STOP and repeat the whole operation from beginning.

❒ count the number of flashes that corresponds to the first figure of the code
on the CODE card, then press the accelerator pedal and keep it there until
the warning light U comes on (for 4
seconds) and then goes off: release the
accelerator pedal;

❒ read the 5-figure electronic code given on the CODE card;

❒ warning light U will start flashing again:
after it has flashed the number of times
that corresponds to the second figure
on the CODE card, press the accelerator pedal to the floor and keep it
there;

❒ turn the ignition key to MAR;

❒ do the same for the remaining figures

Proceed as follows:

on the CODE card;

❒ once the final figure has been entered,
keep the accelerator pedal pressed. The
warning light U will light up for 4 seconds and then go out. Release the accelerator pedal;

❒ rapid flashing of the warning light U
(for about 4 seconds) confirms the operation has been carried out successfully;
❒ start the engine by turning the ignition
key from MAR to AVV.
If, however, the warning light U stays on,
turn the ignition key to STOP and repeat
the procedure from step one.
IMPORTANT After an emergency startup you should contact a Fiat Dealership,
otherwise you will have to repeat the procedure described each time you want to
start the engine.

JUMP STARTING fig. 1
If the battery is flat, it is possible to start
the engine using an auxiliary battery with
the same capacity or a little higher than
the flat one.

Never use a battery charger
to start the engine as this
could damage the electronic
systems of your car, particularly the ignition and fuel supply control units.

Proceed as follows:
❒ Connect positive terminals (+) of the
two batteries with a jump lead;
❒ With a second lead, connect the negative terminal – of the auxiliary battery
to an earthing point E on the engine or
the gearbox of the car to be started;
❒ Start the engine;

IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the
negative terminals of the two batteries:
any sparks may ignite the detonating gas
which could come out of the battery. If the
auxiliary battery is installed on another
car, avoid metal parts touching accidentally between this car and the one with the
flat battery.

DASHBOARD
AND CONTROLS

If after a few attempts the engine does not
start, do not insist but contact the nearest Fiat Dealership.

SAFETY
DEVICES

❒ When the engine has been started, remove the leads reversing the order
above.

CORRECT USE
OF THE CAR

WARNING
The starting procedure must
be carried out by qualified
personnel because incorrect operations may cause electrical discharge of
considerable intensity. The liquid contained in the battery is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin
and eyes. Keep naked flames and lighted cigarettes away from the battery
and do not cause sparks.

BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine (by pushing,
towing or coasting downhill).
This could cause fuel to flow into the catalytic converter and damage it beyond repair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the servobrake and electrical power steering system (where provided) are not operating
until the engine is started, a greater effort
will therefore be required to press the
brake pedal or turn the steering wheel.

IF A TYRE
IS PUNCTURED
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The car can be delivered (upon request/where provided) with standard
spare wheel or space saver spare wheel;
see changing instructions on the following
paragraphs.
Wheel changing and correct use of the
jack and space-saver spare wheel call for
some precautions as listed below.

WARNING
The space-saver spare wheel
(where provided) is specific
to your car, do not use it on other
models, or use the spare wheel of other models on your car. The spacesaver spare wheel shall only be used
in an emergency. It shall only be used
for the distance necessary to reach a
service point and the car speed shall
not exceed 80 km/h. The spare wheel
has an orange sticker that summarises the main cautions for use and limitations. The sticker should never be
removed or covered. Never fit a wheel
cap on a space-saver spare wheel.
The sticker gives the following information in four languages: Caution!
For temporary use only! 80 km/h max!
Replace by normal wheel as soon as
possible. Do not cover this label in
use.
If you change the type of wheel (alloy rims instead of steel rims) you will
have to change the entire set of fastening bolts with another set of suitably sized bolts.

WARNING
When driving with a spacesaver spare wheel fitted, the
driving performance of the car
changes. Avoid accelerating or braking sharply, abrupt turns of fast cornerings. The life of a spare wheel is
approx. 3000 km, after this distance
it should be replaced with another of
the same type. Never attempt to fit
a conventional tyre on a rim designed
for use as a space-saver spare wheel.
Have the punctured wheel repaired
and refitted as soon as possible. Two
or more space-saver spare wheels
should never be used together. Do not
grease the threads of bolts before installing them: they might slip out.

Please note:
❒ the jack weight is 1,76 kg;
❒ the jack requires no adjustment;
❒ the jack cannot be repaired and in the
event of a fault it must be replaced by
another original one;
❒ no tool other than its cranking device
may be fitted on the jack.

DASHBOARD
AND CONTROLS
SAFETY
DEVICES

WARNING
Fasten the wheel cap correctly to prevent the wheel
from coming free in motion. Never
tamper with the inflation valve. Never place tools between the rim and
tyre. Check and restore, if required,
the pressure of tyres and spare wheel
to the values given in section “Technical specifications”.

CORRECT USE
OF THE CAR

WARNING
The jack shall only be used
for changing wheels on the
car with which it is provided or on
cars of the same model. It must not
be used for other purposes such as for
instance raising cars of other models.
In no case should it be used for repairs
under the car. Incorrect positioning
of the jack may cause the jacked car
to fall. Do not use the jack for higher capacities than stated on its label.
Snow chains cannot be fitted to the
space-saver spare wheel. So, if a front
(drive) wheel is punctured and chains
are needed, a rear wheel should be
fitted to the front of the car and the
spare wheel should be fitted to the
rear. This way with two normal drive wheels, snow chains can be fitted
to them to solve an emergency.

WARNING
LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES

WARNING
Alert other drivers that the
car is stationary in compliance with local regulations: hazard
warning lights, warning triangle, etc.
Any passengers on board should leave
the car, especially if it is heavily laden.
Passengers should stay away from oncoming traffic while the wheel is being changed. If parked on a slope or
rough surface, chock the wheels with
wedges or other suitable devices.

❒ Before changing a bulb check the contacts for oxidation;

WARNING
Alterations or repairs to the
electric system not carried
out correctly and without taking into
account the system specifications
may cause failures and the risk of fire.

❒ Burnt bulbs must be replaced by others of the same type and power;
❒ Always check headlight aiming after
changing a bulb to ensure they are safe;
❒ When a light is not working, check that
the corresponding fuse is intact before
changing a bulb: for the location of fuses, refer to paragraph “If a fuse blows”
in this section.

WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pressurised gas, in the case of
breakage they may burst.

Halogen bulbs must be handled touching only the metallic part. If the transparent
bulb is touched with the fingers, its lighting intensity is reduced and
life of the bulb may be compromised.
If touched accidentally, rub the bulb
with a cloth moistened with methylated spirit and allow to dry.

A All glass bulbs: these are pressed on.
Pull to remove.
B Bayonet type bulbs: press the bulb,
then counterclockwise to remove this
type of bulb from its holder.
C Tubular bulbs: free them from their
contacts to remove.

IMPORTANT The headlight inner surface
might be slightly misted: this should not be
considered irregular but a natural phenomenon due to low temperature and the
air humidity level. Misting will disappear as
soon as the headlights are turned on.
Drops inside the headlight mean water infiltration: contact Fiat Dealership.

SCHEDULED SERVICING

This is why Fiat has programmed a series
of checks and maintenance operations
every 20,000 km.
It is however important to remember that
scheduled servicing does not completely
cover all the car’s requirements- also in
the initial period before 20,000 km service
coupon and later, between one coupon
and another, ordinary care is still required
such as for example routine check and
topping up the level of fluids, tyre pressure
check, etc...

IMPORTANT - Engine oil

IMPORTANT - Air cleaner

Should prevailing use of the car be under
one of the following specially heavy conditions:

If the car is used on dusty roads change
the air cleaner more frequently than the
indications in the “Service schedule”. If in
doubt as to how often the engine oil and
air cleaner should be changed according
to how you use the car, contact a Fiat
Dealership.

❒ trailer or caravan towing;
❒ dusty roads;
❒ short distances (less than 7- 8 km) repeated and with external temperatures
below zero;

IMPORTANT - Pollen filter

replace engine oil more frequently than
required on “Service Schedule”.

If the car is used frequently in dusty or
heavily polluted environments it is advisable to replace the filtering element more
frequently; in particular it should be replaced if a reduction of the amount of air
admitted to the passenger compartment
is noted.

IMPORTANT - Diesel filter

IMPORTANT - Battery

The possibility of topping up with diesel
fuel not complying with EN590 European
Norm might make it necessary to replace
the filter more frequently than indicated
in the “Service Schedule”.

The charge in the battery should be
checked at the start of winter to limit the
risk of electrolyte freezing.

❒ frequently idling engines or long distance low speed driving (e.g. taxis or
door-to-door deliveries) or in case of
a long term inactivity;

This check should be carried out more
frequently if the car is used mainly for
short trips, or if it is fitted with accessories
that permanently absorb electricity even
with the ignition key removed, especially
in the case of after market accessories. If
the car is used in hot climates or particularly harsh conditions it is wise to check
the level of the battery fluid (electrolyte)
more frequently than specified in the “Service schedule”.

Car maintenance should be
entrusted to Fiat Dealership.
For routine and minor maintenance operations you wish
to carry out yourself, always make sure
you have the proper equipment, genuine Fiat spare parts and the necessary
fluids; do not however carry out these
operations if you have no experience.

F0G0106m

ENGINE OIL fig. 4, 5 and 6
Check the oil level a few minutes (about
5) after the engine has stopped, with the
car parked on level ground.
Check the level is within the MIN and
MAX marks on the dipstick B.
The interval between the MIN and MAX
marks corresponds to about one litre of
oil.

Max engine oil consumption is usually 400
grams every 1000 km.
When the car is new, the engine needs
to run in, therefore the engine oil consumption can only be considered stabilised
after the first 5,000 ÷ 6,000 km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption depends on driving style and the conditions
under which the car is used.

Do not add oil with specifications other than that already
in the engine.

Used engine oil and filter contain harmful substances for
the environment. Contact Fiat Dealership to have the oil
and filter changed, as they are
equipped to dispose of the waste oil
and filters respecting the nature and
the law.

The engine cooling system uses protective antifreeze fluid
PARAFLU UP. Use the same
fluid type as that already in
the cooling system when topping up.
PARAFLU UP fluid cannot be mixed
with any other type of fluid. Should it
happen, under no circumstances start
the engine; contact a Fiat Dealership.

A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU UP and distilled water gives freeze protection to
–35°C.
For particularly hard climate conditions,
we recommend use of a 60% Paraflu UP
and 40% demineralized water mixture.

WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOW
WASHER FLUID fig. 9
To top up, remove the cap A.
Pour a mixture of water and TUTELA
PROFESSIONAL SC35, in the following
concentrations:
30% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC35 and
70% water in summer.
50% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC35 and
50% water in winter.

WARNING
The cooling system is pressurised. If necessary, replace
the cap only with another genuine
one, otherwise system efficiency
could be compromised. Do not remove the reservoir cap when the engine is hot: you risk scalding yourself.

In case of temperatures below –20°C, use
undiluted TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC35
fluid.

BRAKE FLUID fig. 10
WARNING
Certain commercial additives for windscreen washers
are inflammable. The engine compartment contains hot components
which may set it on fire.

Unscrew cap A: check that the fluid level
in the reservoir is at maximum.
Fluid level in the reservoir shall not exceed
the MAX mark.
If fluid has to be added, it is suggested to
use the brake fluid in table "Fluids and lubricants" (see chapter "Technical characteristics").
NOTE Clean accurately the tank cap A
and the surrounding surface.
At plug opening, pay maximum attention
in order to prevent any impurities from
entering the tank.
For topping up, always use a funnel with
integrated filter with mesh equal to or
lower than 0.12 mm.

Prevent brake fluid, which is
highly corrosive, from coming
into contact with painted
parts. Should it happen, immediately wash with water.

WARNING
Brake fluid is poisonous and
highly corrosive. In the event
of accidental contact, wash the parts
involved immediately with neutral
soap and water, then rinse thoroughly. Call the doctor immediately
if the fluid is swallowed.

WARNING
The symbol π on the container indicates synthetic
brake fluid, distinguishing it from the
mineral kind. Using mineral fluids irreversibly damages the special braking system rubber seals.

BATTERY
The car fits a low-maintenance battery: no
top-ups with distilled water are needed in
normal conditions of use.
INSPECTING THE CHARGE
AND THE ELECTROLYTE LEVEL
Inspection operations must be carried out
by specialised personnel, following the
prescriptions contained in the Use and
maintenance booklet. Any top-up operations must be carried out by specialised
personnel and by Fiat Dealership.

WARNING
Battery liquid is poisonous
and corrosive. Avoid contact
with the skin and eyes. Keep naked
flames and sources of sparks away
from the battery: risk of explosion
and fire.

CHANGING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with a genuine spare part having the same specifications.
If a battery with different specifications is
fitted, the service intervals given in the
“Service schedule” in this section will no
longer be valid.
Refer therefore to the instructions provided by the battery manufacturer.

WARNING
Running the battery with an
excessively low liquid level
will damage the battery beyond repair and even cause an explosion.

USEFUL ADVICE FOR
LENGTHENING THE LIFE OF
YOUR BATTERY

Batteries contain substances
that can be very dangerous
for the environment. t is advisable to have the battery
changed by a Fiat Dealership where it
will be disposed of according to the
law.

WARNING
If the vehicle must remain
unused for a long time at
very low temperature, remove the
battery and carry it to a warm place,
to avoid freezing.

To avoid draining your battery and lengthen its life, observe the following indications:
❒ when you park the car, ensure the
doors, tailgate and bonnet are closed
properly;
❒ switch off all lights inside the car: the
car is however equipped with a system
which switches all internal lights off automatically;
❒ do not keep accessories (e.g. sound system, hazard lights, etc.) switched on for
a long time when the engine is not running;
❒ before performing any operation on the
electrical system, disconnect the battery negative cable;
❒ battery terminals shall always be perfectly tightened.

The battery will also be more at risk of
freezing (e.g. already at -10°C). Refer to
the paragraph “Car inactivity” in “Starting
and driving” if the car is left parked for a
long time.
If after buying the car, you want to install
electric accessories which require permanent electric supply (alarm, etc.) contact Fiat Dealership whose qualified personnel, in addition to suggesting the most
suitable devices, will evaluate the overall
electric absorption, checking whether the
car’s electric system is capable of withstanding the load required, or whether it
should be integrated with a more powerful battery.
Since these devices continue absorbing energy even when the ignition key is off, they
gradually run down the battery.

DASHBOARD
AND CONTROLS
SAFETY
DEVICES

IMPORTANT If the charge level remains
for a long time under 50%, the battery is
damaged by sulphation, reducing its capacity and starting attitude.

CORRECT USE
OF THE CAR

WARNING
When you must perform any
operation on the battery or
near it, always protect your eyes with
the special goggles.

WARNING
LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES

Incorrect assembly of electric
and electronic devices may
cause severe damage to your
car. Go to a Fiat Dealership if
you want to install accessories (alarms,
mobile phone, etc.): they will suggest
the most suitable devices and advise
you if a higher capacity battery needs
to be installed.

WHEELS AND TYRES

Incorrect pressure causes abnormal tyre
wear fig. 15:

Check the pressure of each tyre, including the spare, every two weeks and before
long journeys: the pressure should be
checked with the tyre rested and cold.

A normal pressure: tread evenly worn.

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

C high pressure: tread particularly worn
in the centre.

B low pressure: tread particularly worn
at the edges.

Tyres must be replaced when the tread
wears down to 1,6 mm. In any case, comply with the laws in the country where the
car is being driven.

fig. 15

F0G0112m

IMPORTANT NOTES
❒ As far as possible, avoid sharp braking
and screech starts etc. Be careful not
to hit the kerb, potholes or other obstacles hard. Driving for long stretches over bumpy roads can damage the
tyres;
❒ periodically check that the tyres have
no cuts in the side wall, abnormal
swelling or irregular tyre wear. If any of
these occur, have the car seen to at a
Fiat Dealership;
❒ avoid overloading the car when travelling: this may cause serious damage to
the wheels and tyres;
❒ if a tyre is punctured, stop immediately and charge it to avoid damage to the
tyre, the rim, suspensions and steering
system;

❒ If a tyre is changed, also change the inflation valve;
❒ to allow even wear between the front
and rear tyres, it is advisable to change
them over every 10-15 thousand kilometres, keeping them on the same side
of the car so as not to reverse the direction of rotation.

WARNING
Remember that road holding
depends also on the correct
tyre inflating pressure.

WARNING
Do not cross switch the
tyres, moving them from the
right of the car to the left and vice
versa.

WARNING
Never submit alloy rims to
repainting treatments requiring to use temperatures exceeding 150°C. The mechanical properties
of the wheels could be impaired.

Indeed ozone, high temperatures and prolonged lack of fluid in the system may
cause hardening and cracking of the hoses,
with possible leaks. Careful control is
therefore necessary.

DASHBOARD
AND CONTROLS

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

SAFETY
DEVICES

RUBBER HOSES

CORRECT USE
OF THE CAR

❒ In the case of replacement, always fit
new tyres, avoiding those of dubious
origin;

WARNING
If the pressure is too low the
tyre overheats and this can
cause it serious damage.

WARNING
LIGHTS AND
MESSAGES

❒ tyres age even if they are not used
much. Cracks in the tread rubber are
a sign of ageing. In any case, if the tyres
have been on the car for over 6 years,
they should be checked by specialised
personnel, to see if they can still be
used. Also remember to check the
spare wheel;

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

Changing the windscreen
wiper blades fig. 16

Changing the rear
window blade fig. 17

Proceed as follows:

❒ raise the windscreen wiper arm A and
position the blade so that it forms an
angle of 90° with the arm;

❒ raise the cover A and remove the arm
from the car, slackening the nut B that
fastens it to the pivot pin;

❒ press tab B of the coupling spring and
remove the blade to be replaced from
the arm A;

❒ fit the new arm, positioning it correctly, and fully tighten the nut;

A few simple notions can reduce the possibility of damage to the blades:
❒ if the temperature falls below zero,
make sure that ice has not frozen the
rubber against glass. If necessary, thaw
using an antifreeze product;
❒ remove any snow from the glass: in addition to protecting the blades, this prevents effort on the motor and overheating;
❒ do not operate the windscreen and
rear window wipers on dry glass.
WARNING
Driving with worn wiper
blades is a serious hazard,
because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.

❒ spraying of plastic parts, with a protective function in the more exposed
points: underdoor, inner fender parts,
edges, etc;
❒ Use of “open” boxed sections to prevent condensation and pockets of moisture from triggering rust inside.

Normal paint maintenance consists in
washing at intervals depending on the conditions and environment of use. For example, in highly polluted areas, or if the roads
are sprayed with salt, it is wise to wash the
car more frequently.
To correctly wash the car:

BODY AND UNDERBODY
WARRANTY

❒ remove the aerial from the roof to prevent damage to it if the car is washed in
an automatic system;

Your Fiat Panda is covered by warranty
against perforation due to rust of any original element of the structure or body.

❒ wash the body using a low pressure jet
of water;

For the general terms of this warranty, refer to Fiat Warranty Booklet.
ADVICE FOR PRESERVING
THE BODYWORK
Paint
Paintwork does not only serve an aestethic purpose, but also protects the underlying sheet metal.
In the case of deep scrapes or scores, you
are advised to have the necessary touching
up carried out immediately to avoid the formation of rust. For touching up use only
original products (see “Bodywork paint
identification plate” in section “Technical
specifications”).

❒ wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy solution over the bodywork, frequently
rinsing with the sponge;
❒ rinse well with water and dry with a jet
of air or a chamois leather.
When drying, take particular care with the
less visible parts like door surrounds, bonnet and around the headlights where water may stagnate. The car should not be
taken to a closed area immediately, but left
in the open so that residual water can
evaporate.
Do not wash the car after it has been left
in the sun or with the bonnet hot: this may
alter the shine of the paintwork.

Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in
the same way as the rest of the car.
Where possible, do not park under trees;
the resinous substance many species release give the paint a dull appearance and
increase the possibility of triggering rust
processes.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be
washed off immediately and thoroughly as
the acid they contain is particularly aggressive.

Detergents cause water pollution. Therefore the engine
compartment should be
washed in areas equipped for
collecting and purifying the liquid used
in the washing process.

Windows
Use specific window cleaner products.
Use also clean cloths to avoid scratching
the glass or damaging the transparency.
IMPORTANT The inside of the
rearscreen should be wiped gently with a
cloth in the direction of the filaments to
avoid damaging the heating device.

Front headlights
IMPORTANT Never use aromatic substances (e.g.: petrol) or ketones (e.g.: acetone) for cleaning front headlight plastic
lens.

Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dust. Velvet is cleaned better if the
brush is moistened.

WARNING
Never use flammable products like oil ether or rectified
petrol for cleaning car interiors. Electrostatic discharges generated by rubbing during cleaning operations could
cause fire.

Rub the seats with a sponge moistened
with a solution of water and neutral detergent.
INTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS
For routine cleaning of interior plastic
parts use a soft cloth moistened with water and neutral soap. Remove grease or
persisting stains using appropriate solventfree products designed to preserve appearance and colour of plastic components.
IMPORTANT Never use spirit or petroleum to clean the instrument panel.

WARNING
Do not keep aerosol cans in
the car: they might explode.
Aerosol cans must never be exposed
to a temperature above 50° C. The
temperature inside the car exposed
to the sun may go well beyond that
figure.

DASHBOARD
AND CONTROLS

Periodically check that water is not
trapped under the mats (due to water
dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.) which
could cause oxidisation of the sheet metal.

SAFETY
DEVICES

IMPORTANT The car should be washed
with the engine cold and the ignition key
at STOP. After washing make sure that
the various protections (e.g. rubber caps
and various covers) have not been damaged or removed.

CLEANING SEATS AND FABRIC
AND VELVET PARTS

CORRECT USE
OF THE CAR

At the end of the winter the engine compartment should be carefully washed,
without directing the jet against electronic control units. Contact a specialised
workshop to have this done.

According to
Service Schedule

For regular operation of Multijet versions with DPF, use only original oil. In an emergency (lacking the original product) only top up
with max. 0,5 l and then drive immediately to the nearest Fiat Dealership.
If using non original SAE 5W-40 products, oils with minimum ACEA A3 specifications for petrol engines and ACEA B4 specifications for Diesel engines are admitted; in this event top engine performance is not guaranteed.
Use of products with low-quality properties than ACEA A3 and ACEA B4 could cause damages to the engine that are not covered
by the warranty.
For very cold climate conditions, ask Fiat Dealership for the appropriate Selenia product to use.

FUEL CONSUMPTION
The fuel consumption figures given in the
table below are determined on the basis
of the homologation tests set down by
specific European Directives.
The procedures below are followed for
measuring consumption:

Pagina 193

❒ extra-urban cycle: frequent accelerating in all gears, simulating extraurban
use of the car: speed varies between 0
and 120 km/h;
❒ combined consumption: is calculated
weighing about 37% of urban cycle consumption and about 63% of extraurban
consumption.

IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic
situations, weather conditions, driving
style, general conditions of the car, trim
level/equipment/accessories, load, climate
control system, roof rack, other situations
that affect air drag may lead to different
fuel consumption levels than those measured.

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 through
the continuous improvement of its production processes and the making of increasingly more “eco friendly” products. With a view
to guaranteeing the best possible service to clients in full observance of environmental standards and in response to the obligations
imposed by European Directive 2000/53/EC on end-of-life vehicles, Fiat offers its clients the possibility to hand in their vehicle* at
the 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 2002
on, while, from 2007 on, take-back will be carried out free of charge, independently of the year of registration, provided that the
vehicle 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 our
customers by de-polluting and recycling “End of Life Vehicles” to approved environmental standards. To find out the location of your
nearest authorised treatment facility, offering free of charge take-back, simply contact one of our dealers or refer to the Fiat web
site 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
