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.

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. fig. 19 F0G0148m FUEL LEVEL GAUGE fig. 19 This shows the amount of fuel left in the fuel tank. E tank empty. F full tank (see the indications given in paragraph “At the filling station"). The reserve warning light A turns on to indicate that approximately 5 litres of fuel are left in the tank. 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.

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. DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS GENERAL INFORMATION The ESP system is automatically activated when the car is started and cannot be de-activated. SAFETY DEVICES ESP system activation CORRECT USE OF THE CAR ESP SYSTEM (Electronic Stability Program) (where provided) WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES WARNING If only the warning light x turns on together with the message on the reconfigurable multifunction display (where provided), stop the car immediately and contact the nearest Fiat Dealership. Fluid leaks from the hydraulic system, in fact, can compromise the braking system, both traditional systems and systems with ABS.

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 and on again pressing button C ASR 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 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. WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES fig. 90 CORRECT USE OF THE CAR SAFETY DEVICES It is an integral part of the ASR system that in case of sudden gear shifting, cuts in providing torque to the engine thus preventing excessive driving wheel drive that, specially in poor grip conditions, can lead to loss of stability.

IMPORTANT The steering may become slightly stiff following parking manoeuvres including a great deal of steering. This is normal and caused by a system to prevent 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.

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 OF THE CAR The devices for curtailing petrol engine emissions are the following: WARNING During normal service the catalyst reaches high temperatures.

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.

To increase the efficiency of the front and rear (where provided) seat belts, the Fiat 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. F0G0241m Seat belt with three anchor points (for versions/markets where applicable) fig. 5 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. CORRECT USE OF THE CAR GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE SEAT BELTS SAFETY DEVICES To increase passenger’s safety, the front and rear (where provided) seat belt reels contain a load limiter which allows controlled sag in such a way as to dose the force acting on the shoulders during the belt restraining action in case of front crash. WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES WARNING The pretensioner can only be used once. After a collision that has triggered it, have it replaced at a Fiat Dealership. Pretensioner validity is written on the label set on the door contour sheet metal. Pretensioners should be replaced at Fiat Dealership as this date approaches.

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.

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.

As the child grows, passing to weight group 1, remove the child’s seat from the base and refit it facing forwards. For proper mounting proceed as follows: ❒ find the presetting brackets A, then position the child restraint system with the fastening devices C aligned with the brackets; 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. CORRECT USE OF THE CAR AIR BAGS WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES ❒ push the child restraint system until hearing locking clicks; DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS Pagina 93 IN AN EMERGENCY 13:49 TECHNICAL CAR SPECIFICATIONS MAINTENANCE 21-06-2007 INDEX 081-100 Panda New GB 93 IINDEX TECHNICAL CAR SPECIFICATIONS MAINTENANCE IN AN EMERGENCY WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES CORRECT USE OF THE CAR SAFETY DEVICES DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS 081-100 Panda New GB 94 21-06-2007 13:49 Pagina 94 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 E C 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. fig. 16 F0G0693m DRIVER’S FRONT AIR BAG fig. 16 It consists of an instant-inflating cushion contained in a special recess in the centre of the steering wheel. It consists of an instant-inflating cushion contained in a special recess in the dashboard; its volume is bigger than the driver’s one. Deactivation/reactivation takes place with ignition key at STOP and operating it in the special key switch in the glovebox. The key can be fitted and extracted in both positions. IMPORTANT Operate the switch only when the engine is not running and the ignition key is removed. DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS Should it be absolutely necessary to carry a child on the front seat, the passenger’s air bag on the car can be deactivated.

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 Dealership first. If the car changes ownership, the new owner must be informed of the method of use of air bags and the above warnings and also be given this “Owner Handbook”. CORRECT USE OF THE CAR WINDOW BAG fig. 20 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 remains: this dust can irritate skin and 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.

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.

The engine may be noisier than usual during the first seconds of operation, especially after it has not been used for a while. This characteristic feature of the hydraulic tappet system does not compromise functionality or reliability: the system devised for the Fiat Panda was designed to limit maintenance interventions. INDEX TECHNICAL CAR SPECIFICATIONS MAINTENANCE IN AN EMERGENCY WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES CORRECT USE OF THE CAR SAFETY DEVICES DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS 101-112 Panda New GB 102 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 AND CONTROLS If, when the ignition key is at MAR, warning light Y remains lit, turn the key to STOP and then back to MAR; if the warning light remains on, try with the other keys provided with the car.

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 Cold starting TOWING TRAILERS CORRECT USE OF THE CAR Fuel consumption considerably increases with speed. Avoid superfluous braking and accelerating, which cost in terms of both fuel and emissions.

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 LIGHTS AND MESSAGES SNOW TYRES Pagina 111 IN AN EMERGENCY 13:50 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

These include: ❒ Painting products and systems which give the car particular resistance to corrosion and abrasion; ❒ Use of galvanised (or pretreated) steel sheets, with high resistance to corrosion; ❒ Spraying the underbody, engine compartment, wheelhouse internal parts and other parts with highly protective wax products; SAFETY DEVICES The main causes of corrosion are the following: CORRECT USE OF THE CAR PROTECTION FROM ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES BODYWORK DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS Pagina 173 IN AN EMERGENCY 13:52 TECHNICAL CAR SPECIFICATIONS MAINTENANCE 21-06-2007 INDEX 155-176 Panda New GB 173 INDEX TECHNICAL CAR SPECIFICATIONS MAINTENANCE IN AN EMERGENCY WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES CORRECT USE OF THE CAR SAFETY DEVICES DASHBOARD AND CONTROLS 155-176 Panda New GB 174 21-06-2007 13:52 Pagina 174 ❒ 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.

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 197-204 Panda New GB 21-06-2007 13:54 Pagina 202 197-204 Panda New GB 21-06-2007 13:54 Pagina 203 197-204 Panda New GB 21-06-2007 13:54 Pagina 204 COLD TYRE INFLATION PRESSURE (bar) Add +0.3 bar to the prescribed inflation pressure when the tyres are warm.
