IMPORTANT

This Owner Handbook describes all versions of the Fiat Panda; please consider only the information relevant to your

vehicle’s trim level, engine and version. All data contained in this publication are purely indicative. FCA Italy S.p.A. can

modify the content of this publication at any time, for technical or commercial purposes. For further information, contact

a Fiat Dealership.

READ THIS CAREFULLY

REFUELLING

Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in compliance with the European specification

EN228. Using these mixtures may cause misfiring and driving issues, as well as damage fundamental components of the supply system.

Diesel engines: refuel only with diesel fuel motor vehicles conforming to the European specification EN590. The use of other products

or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the damage caused.

For further details on the use of the correct fuel see the "Refuelling the vehicle" paragraph in the "Starting and driving" chapter.

STARTING THE ENGINE

Make sure that the handbrake is engaged and place the gear lever in neutral. Fully depress the clutch pedal, without pressing the accelerator,

then turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the

warning light to switch off (and warning light for diesel versions); turn the

ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine starts.

Versions with Dualogic gearbox: make sure that the handbrake is engaged and that the gear lever is in P (Parking) or N (Neutral), fully

depress the brake pedal, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine is started. .

PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL

The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the vehicle on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other

flammable material: fire hazard.

RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

The vehicle is fitted with a system that carries out a continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to help protect the

environment.

ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES

If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), contact a Fiat Dealership.

They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle's electric system can support the required load.

SCHEDULED SERVICING

Correct maintenance of the vehicle is essential for ensuring that it maintains its performance and its safety features, its environmental

friendliness and low running costs unchanged in time.

USE OF THE OWNER HANDBOOK

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Each time direction instructions (left/right or forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are given, these must be intended as

regarding an occupant in the driver's seat. Special cases not complying with this rule will be specified as appropriate in the text.

The figures in the Owner Handbook are provided by way of example only: this might imply that some details of the image do

not correspond to the actual arrangement of your vehicle. In addition, the Handbook has been conceived considering vehicles

with steering wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible that on vehicles with steering wheel on the right side, the position

or construction of some controls is not exactly mirror-like with respect to the figure.

To identify the chapter with the information needed you can consult the index at the end of this Owner Handbook.

Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedicated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd page. A few pages further there is a key

for getting to know the chapter order and the relevant symbols in the tabs. There is in any case a textual indication of the

current chapter at the side of each even page.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

While reading this Owner Handbook you will find a series of WARNINGS to prevent procedures that could damage your

vehicle.

There are also PRECAUTIONS that must be carefully followed to prevent incorrect use of the components of the vehicle,

which could cause accidents or injuries.

Therefore all WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS must always be carefully followed.

WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS are recalled in the text with the following symbols:

personal safety;

vehicle safety;

environmental protection.

NOTE These symbols, when necessary, are indicated besides the title or at the end of the line and are followed by a number.

That number recalls the corresponding warning at the end of the relevant section.

A plate summarising these symbols can also be found under the bonnet.

VEHICLE CHANGES/ALTERATIONS

IMPORTANT Any change or alteration of the vehicle might seriously affect its safety and road holding, thus causing accidents,

in which the occupants could even be fatally injured.

SYMBOLS

Some vehicle components have coloured labels whose symbols indicate precautions to be observed when using this

component.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

In-depth knowledge of your new vehicle

starts here.

The handbook that you are reading

simply and directly explains how it

is made and how it works.

That’s why we advise you to read it

IGNITION DEVICE

2) 3) 4) 5)

The key can be turned to 3 different

positions fig. 3:

❒ STOP: engine off, key can be

removed, steering column locked.

Some electrical devices (e.g. audio

system, central door locking system,

etc.) can operate;

❒ MAR: driving position. All electrical

devices are enabled;

❒ AVV: engine starting.

The ignition switch is fitted with a safety

system that requires the ignition key

to be turned back to STOP if the engine

does not start, before the starting

operation can be repeated.

STEERING LOCK

Engagement

When the key is at STOP, remove the

key and turn the steering wheel until

it locks.

Disengagement

Move the steering wheel slightly and

turn the key to MAR.

WARNING

2) If the ignition device is tampered with

(e.g.: attempted theft), have it checked

over by a Fiat Dealership as soon as

possible.

3) When getting out of the vehicle, always

remove the key to prevent any occupants

from accidentally activating the controls.

Remember to engage the handbrake.

Engage first gear if the vehicle is parked

uphill or reverse if the vehicle is parked

downhill. Never leave children unattended

in the vehicle.

4) It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any

after-market operation involving steering

system or steering column modifications

(e.g. installation of anti-theft device) that

could adversely affect performance and

safety, invalidate the warranty and also

result in non-compliance of the vehicle with

type-approval requirements.

5) Never extract the key while the vehicle is

moving. The steering wheel will

automatically lock as soon as it is turned.

This also applies to cases in which the

vehicle is towed.

F1D0006

THE FIAT CODE

SYSTEM

This is an electronic engine locking

system which increases protection

against attempted thefts of the vehicle.

It is automatically activated when the

ignition key is removed.

OPERATION

Each time the vehicle is started by

turning the ignition key to MAR, the Fiat

CODE system control unit sends a

recognition code to the Powertrain

Control Module to deactivate the

immobiliser.

The code is sent only if the Fiat CODE

system control unit has acknowledged

the code received from the key.

Each time the ignition key is turned to

STOP, the Fiat CODE system

deactivates the functions of the

Powertrain Control Module. If, during

starting, the code is not correctly

recognised, the

warning light

switches on in the instrument panel. In

this case, turn the key to STOP and

then to MAR; if it is still locked, try again

with the other keys that come with the

vehicle. Contact a Fiat Dealership if

you still cannot start the engine.

If the

warning light switches on, this

means that the system is running a

self-diagnosis (for example due to

a voltage drop). Should the fault persist,

contact a Fiat Dealership.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

LPG tank certification

The LPG tank is certified in accordance

with the regulations in force.

In Italy, the tank has a life of 10 years

starting from the vehicle registration

date. If the vehicle has been registered

in a country other than Italy, the

duration and the testing/inspection

procedures of the LPG tank can vary

depending on the national laws of that

country. In any case, when the time limit

in the individual country has run out,

contact a Fiat Dealership to have the

tank replaced.

SELECTION OF

PETROL/LPG SUPPLY

TYPE

35) 14) 15) 16)

The (petrol/LPG switch) button A fig. 39

allows drivers to select petrol or LPG

operation.

To guarantee switching in absolute

safety, the actual change to the chosen

fuel system takes place depending on

the car usage conditions. It may not

therefore be immediate.

Switching is confirmed by the switching

on/off of the green warning light

the instrument panel.

If the LPG runs out, switching to petrol

takes place automatically. In this case

the display shows the

icon just

above wording LPG and the four bars

of the digital gauge turn off.

SUPPLIES

17) 18)

LPG

Maximum refuelling capacity (reserve

included): 30.5 litres. The figure already

takes into account the 80% tank filling

limit and the residual fluid required

for correct priming and it is the

maximum permitted capacity. In

addition, after different refuelling

processes, this figure may vary due to

differences between the network pump

supply pressures, pumps having

different supply/locking features, tank

not completely run out of fuel.

WARNING

33) It should be pointed out that in some

countries (including Italy) there are legal

restrictions in force for parking/garaging

motor vehicles with gas that has a higher

density than air; LPG comes under this

category.

34) Modifications or repairs to the fuel

system that are not carried out correctly or

do not take the system technical

specifications into account can cause

malfunctions leading to a fire risk.

35) Do not switch between the two

operating modes whilst starting the engine.

WARNING

9) The system operates at temperatures

ranging between −20 °C and 100 °C.

10) If, during LPG operation, the same runs

out, the vehicle switches to petrol

automatically and all the bars of the digital

gauge on the display switch off; this

displaying remains until the following LPG

refuelling.

F1D0109

11) The vehicle is equipped with a gaseous

LPG injection system designed specifically

for it: it is therefore absolutely forbidden

to alter the configuration of the system or

its components. The use of other

components or materials could cause

malfunctions and lead to a reduction in

safety; therefore, in the case of problems,

contact a Fiat Dealership. To prevent

damage to the gas system parts when

towing or raising the vehicle, follow the

instructions in the "Towing the vehicle"

paragraph of the Owner Handbook.

12) When painting in an oven, the LPG

tank must be removed from the vehicle and

later refitted by a Fiat Dealership. Although

the LPG system has numerous safety

features, it is advisable to proceed

as follows every time the vehicle is not in

use for a long period or moved in an

emergency as a result of a breakdown or

accident: unscrew the fastening devices A

fig. 36, then remove the cover B. Close

the LPG cock rotating the ring nut C fig. 38

clockwise. Refit the cover and retighten

the fastening devices.

13) Periodically (at least once every six

months), it is advisable to let the LPG in the

tank run out and, at the next refuelling,

check that it does not exceed the

maximum capacity of 30.5 litres (reserve

included) (with a tolerance of 2 litres

excess) (see instructions in the "Capacities"

paragraph of this Supplement). If the level

is above 30.5 litres (reserve included)

contact a Fiat Dealership immediately.

14) Regardless of the last fuel system

used, at the following engine starting, after

the initial petrol stage, the system will

automatically switch to LPG.

15) When switching from petrol to LPG is

requested, a metal noise from the valves

which pressurise the circuit can be heard.

As a result of the switching logic described

above, the delay between the ticking of

the valve and the switching off of the green

warning light

on the instrument panel

is entirely normal.

16) In particular usage conditions, such as

starting and operation at low ambient

temperature or LPG supply with low

propane content, the system may switch

temporarily to petrol operation, without

an indication of switching on the instrument

panel. In the event of low LPG levels in

the tank or request for high performance

(e.g. overtaking, vehicle fully laden, steep

hills), the system may automatically switch

to petrol operation to guarantee the engine

power requested; the green warning light

on the instrument panel switches on

to indicate this. When the above conditions

are no longer present, the system

automatically restores LPG operation; the

green warning light

switches off. To

achieve the automatic switching described

above, make sure that there is always

enough fuel in the petrol tank.

17) Only use LPG for motor vehicles.

18) It is strictly forbidden to use any

additive in the LPG.

VERSION WITH

METHANE SYSTEM

(Natural Power)

36) 37) 38) 19)

INTRODUCTION

The "Natural Power" version features

two fuel systems, one for petrol and

one for natural gas (methane).

METHANE CYLINDERS

The vehicle is equipped with two

cylinders (total capacity about 72 litres)

fig. 40 - fig. 41 located under the floor

of the vehicle and protected by two

special guards.

F1D0137

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR

The methane, stored in the cylinders at

high pressure, flows through a

dedicated pipe to reach the pressure

regulator/reduction unit which supplies

the two methane injectors at low

pressure (about 9 bar).

Cylinder certification

The methane cylinders are certified in

accordance with ECE Regulation no.

110.

The cylinders must be inspected, in

accordance with ECE Regulation

Procedure no. 110, every 4 years from

the vehicle registration date or in

accordance with specific regulations in

individual countries.

The plates provided by the Dealership

with the on board documentation

contain the date for the first inspection

of the cylinders. Methane refuelling

stations are not authorised to refill the

cylinders when the inspection date has

expired.

IMPORTANT If the vehicle has been

registered in a country other than Italy,

the certification data, identification

and inspection procedures for

the methane cylinders should conform

to the legislation in that country. In

any case, remember that the life of the

cylinders is 20 years from the

production date as set out in ECE

Regulation no. 110.

SELECTION OF

PETROL/METHANE

SUPPLY TYPE

39) 20) 21) 22)

This engine normally runs on methane

except during starting, when it runs

on petrol.

The (petrol/methane switch) button A

fig. 42 allows drivers to select petrol or

methane operation.

To guarantee switching in full safety, the

actual change to the chosen fuel

system takes place depending on the

car usage conditions; it may not

therefore be immediate.

Switching is confirmed by the switching

on/off of the green warning light

the instrument panel.

In addition, when starting at outside

temperatures below approximately

–10°C, the switching times from petrol

to methane increase to allow the

pressure regulator/reduction unit to

heat up.

If the methane has run out, switching to

petrol takes place automatically. In this

case, the four bars of the digital gauge

switch off and the green warning light

on the instrument panel switches on.

Natural Power. The use of other

components or materials could cause

malfunctions and reduce safety.

37) In the case of painting in an oven, the

cylinders should be removed from the

vehicle and refitted later by a Fiat Dealer.

Although the methane system has

numerous safety features, it is advisable to

close the manual cocks for the cylinders

every time the vehicle is not in use for

a long period, transported on other

vehicles or moved in an emergency as a

result of a breakdown or accident.

38) Modifications or repairs to the fuel

system that are not carried out correctly or

do not take the system technical

specifications into account can cause

malfunctions leading to a fire risk.

39) Do not switch between the two

operating modes whilst starting the engine.

WARNING

19) If, during methane operation, the same

runs out, the vehicle switches to petrol

automatically and all the bars of the digital

gauge on the display switch off; this

displaying remains until the next methane

refuelling.

20) Regardless of the last fuel system

used, at the following engine starting, after

the initial petrol stage, the system will

automatically switch to methane.

21) When switching from petrol to methane

is requested, a metal noise from the valves

which pressurise the circuit can be heard,

as it happens while starting the vehicle.

As a result of the switching logic described

above, the delay between the ticking of

the valve and the switching off of the green

warning light

on the instrument panel

is entirely normal.

22) In particular usage conditions, such as

starting and operation at low ambient

temperature, the system may switch

temporarily to petrol operation, without

indicating the performed switching. In the

event of low methane levels in the tank

or request for high performance (e.g.

overtaking, vehicle fully laden, steep hills),

the system may automatically switch to

petrol operation to guarantee the engine

power requested; the green warning light

on the instrument panel switches on

to indicate this. When the above conditions

are no longer present, the system

automatically restores methane operation;

the green warning light

switches off.

To achieve the automatic switching

described above, make sure that there is

always enough fuel in the petrol tank.

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

IMPORTANT Warning lights are accompanied by a specific message and/or sound when applicable. These indications are

indicative and precautionary and as such must not be considered as exhaustive and/or alternative to the information contained

in the Owner Handbook, which you are advised to read carefully in all cases. Always refer to the information in this chapter in

the event of a failure indication.

IMPORTANT Fault indications displayed are divided into two categories: serious and less serious faults. Serious faults are

indicated by a repeated and prolonged warning "cycle". Less serious faults are indicated by a warning "cycle" with a shorter

duration. The display cycle of both categories can be interrupted by pressing the

button. The instrument panel warning light

will stay on until the cause of the malfunction is eliminated.

WARNING LIGHTS ON INSTRUMENT PANEL

Red warning lights

Warning light What it means

SEAT BELTS NOT FASTENED

(for versions/markets, where provided)

The warning light switches on constantly with the vehicle stationary and the driver's side or passenger side

seat belt (when the passenger is present) not fastened. The warning light will flash and a buzzer will sound

if the vehicle is in motion and the front seat belts are not correctly fastened.

Contact a Fiat Dealership if you wish to permanently deactivate the SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system

buzzer. The system can be reactivated using the Setup Menu.

Warning light What it means

EBD FAILURE

The simultaneous switching on of the

(red), (amber) and (amber) warning lights with the engine

on, indicates either a fault of the EBD system or that the system is not available. In this case, the rear

wheels may suddenly lock and the vehicle may swerve when braking sharply. On certain versions a

dedicated message is displayed.

Drive very carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have the system inspected immediately.

AIRBAG FAILURE

When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning light turns on but should switch off after a few

seconds.

If the warning light switches on constantly, this indicates a fault in the airbag system. On certain versions a

dedicated message is displayed.

40) 41)

WARNING

40) 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 fault in the

restraint systems; in this event airbags or pretensioners may not be deployed in the event of impact or, in a lower number of cases, they may

deploy accidentally. Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system checked.

41) Failure of the

warning light is signalled by the warning light flashing. In this case, any faults of the airbag system might be not

signalled. Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have the system checked.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Warning light What it means

LOW BRAKE FLUID/HANDBRAKE ENGAGED

When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning light turns on but should switch off after a few

seconds.

Low brake fluid level

The warning light switches on when the brake fluid in the reservoir falls below the minimum level, possibly

due to a leak in the circuit. On certain versions a dedicated message is displayed.

42)

Handbrake engaged

The warning light switches on when the handbrake is engaged. If the vehicle is moving a buzzer will also

sound.

IMPORTANT If the warning light turns on when travelling, check that the handbrake is not engaged.

LOW BATTERY CHARGE

(for versions/markets, where provided)

The warning light comes on when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but it should go out as soon as the

engine has started (with the engine running at idle speed a brief delay before going out is acceptable).

If the warning light stays on constantly or flashing, on some versions along with a dedicated message on

the display, contact a Fiat Dealership.

DOORS/BONNET/LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT OPEN

The warning light switches on, on some versions along with a message and a symbol in the display, when

one or more doors, the bonnet or the tailgate are not properly closed. An acoustic signal is emitted with the

doors open and the vehicle in motion.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Warning light What it means

Engine oil degraded

(diesel versions with DPF)

The warning light comes on flashing, on some versions along with a dedicated message on the display.

The warning light flashes for 3 minute cycles with the warning light off for intervals of 5 seconds until oil is

changed.

After the first indication, at each engine start up the warning light will continue flashing as described above

until the oil is changed. On certain versions a dedicated message is displayed.

The flashing of the warning light should not be considered as a fault, it simply informs the customer that the

oil needs to be changed following normal vehicle use.

Remember that the deterioration of the engine oil is accelerated by:

❒ mainly town use of the vehicle which makes the DPF regeneration process more frequent;

❒ use of the vehicle for short drives, in which the engine does not have time to reach its regular operating

temperature;

❒ repeated interruption of the regeneration process, signalled by the DPF warning light switching on.

44)

WARNING

44) Degraded engine oil should be replaced as soon as possible after the warning light comes on, and never more than 500 km after it first

comes on. Failure to observe the above indications may result in severe damage to the engine and invalidate the warranty. Remember that

the operation of this warning light is not related to the amount of oil in the engine. Therefore, never top up with oil when the light starts

flashing.

Warning light What it means

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH

When the key is turned to MAR, the warning light switches on but it should switch off after a few seconds.

The warning light comes on, on some versions along with a message on the display, when the engine is

overheated.

When driving normally: stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and check that the water level in the

reservoir is not below the MIN mark. If it is, wait for the engine to cool down then slowly and carefully open

the cap, top up with coolant and check that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the reservoir.

Also check visually for any fluid leaks. If, when restarting, the warning light switches on again, contact a Fiat

Dealership.

If the vehicle is used under demanding conditions (e.g. towing trailers uphill or fully loaded): slow

down and, if the warning light stays on, stop the vehicle. Wait for 2 or 3 minutes with the engine running

and slightly accelerated to further favour the coolant circulation. Then stop the engine. Check that the

coolant level is correct as described above.

IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable to keep the engine on and slightly accelerated for a

few minutes before switching it off.

“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC POWER STEERING FAILURE

The warning light switches on when the ignition key is turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a few

seconds.

If the warning light stays on, on some versions along with a dedicated message on the display, you may

not have steering assistance and the effort required to operate the steering wheel could be notably

increased; steering is, however, possible.

In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT In some circumstances, factors independent of the electric power steering could cause the

warning light on the instrument panel to switch on. In this case, stop the vehicle immediately (should it be

in motion), stop the engine for about 20 seconds and then restart the engine. If the warning light, on some

versions along with a dedicated message on the display, remains on, contact a Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT After the battery is disconnected, the steering must be initialised. The warning light switches

on to indicate this. To carry out this procedure, simply turn the steering wheel all the way from one end to

the other or drive in a straight line for about a hundred metres.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Warning light What it means

ABS FAILURE

When the key is turned to MAR, the warning light switches on but it should switch off after a few seconds.

The warning light comes on, on some versions along with a message on the display, when the system is

inefficient. In this case the braking system maintains its efficiency unaltered but without the advantage of

the ABS system.

Drive carefully and contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

PASSENGER/SIDE AIRBAGS DEACTIVATED

The warning light is located on the dashboard in central position and switches on deactivating the front

passenger airbag and the side airbag. With front passenger airbag on, when the ignition key is turned to

MAR, the warning light switches on constantly for several seconds and then it should switch off.

45)

WARNING

45) Failure of the warning light is indicated by the warning light switching on. In addition, the airbag system automatically disables the

airbags on the passenger's side (front and side bags where provided). Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have

the system checked.

Warning light What it means

City Brake Control - "Collision Mitigation" SYSTEM DEACTIVATED

(for versions/markets, where provided)

The warning light switches on when the City Brake Control - "Collision Mitigation" system is deactivated

through the Setup Menu.

INJECTION/EOBD SYSTEM FAILURE

In normal conditions, when the ignition key is turned to MAR the warning light switches on, but it should

switch off as soon as the engine is started.

If the warning light remains on or switches on whilst driving, the injection system is not working properly; in

particular, if the warning light switches on steadily, this indicates a malfunction in the supply/ignition system

that could cause excessive exhaust emissions, a possible loss of performance, poor driveability and high

fuel consumption.

Under these conditions, you may continue travelling at a moderate speed without demanding excessive

effort from the engine. Prolonged use of the vehicle with the warning light on constantly may cause

damage: contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

The warning light switches off if the malfunction disappears, but is still stored by the system.

NOTE For petrol engines, if the warning light flashes, the catalytic converter may be damaged. In this case,

it is necessary to release the accelerator pedal to lower the speed of the engine until the warning light

stops flashing; continue the journey at moderate speed, trying to avoid driving conditions that may cause

further flashing and contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

24)

WARNING

24) Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible if the warning light either does not switch on when the key is turned to MAR or if while

driving the warning light switches on either constantly or flashing (along with a message and a symbol on the display on some versions).

Warning light What it means

DPF (PARTICULATE FILTER) CLEANING IN PROGRESS (Diesel versions with DPF)

When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning light turns on but should switch off after a few

seconds.

The warning light switches on constantly, on some versions along with a dedicated message on the

display, to notify the driver that the DPF system needs to eliminate captured pollutants (particulate) through

the regeneration process.

The warning light does not come on every time the DPF is being regenerated, rather only when the driving

conditions are such that the driver needs to know it. To switch the warning light off, the vehicle must be

kept moving until the regeneration process is completed. On average, the process lasts 15 minutes.

Optimal conditions for completing the process are achieved by travelling at 60 km/h with engine speed

above 2000 rpm.

If this light switches on, it does not mean that the vehicle is defective, so there is no need to take it to a

workshop.

46)

WARNING

46) Always drive at a speed appropriate to the traffic conditions, the weather and traffic regulations. The engine can also be switched off if the

DPF warning light is on; nevertheless, repeated interruptions of the regeneration process could cause an early deterioration of engine oil. For

this reason, always wait until the warning light switches off before stopping the engine as described above. It is not advisable to complete

DPF regeneration with the vehicle stationary.

SAFETY

ACTIVE SAFETY

SYSTEMS

ABS (Anti-lock Braking

System)

This system, which is an integral part of

the braking system, prevents one or

more wheels from locking and slipping

in all road surface conditions,

irrespective of the intensity of the

braking action, ensuring that the vehicle

can be controlled even during

emergency braking.

IMPORTANT To obtain the maximum

efficiency of the braking system, a

bedding-in period of about 500 km is

needed: during this period it is better to

avoid sharp, repeated and prolonged

braking.

The ABS also includes the following

systems: EBD (Electronic Braking Force

Distribution), MSR (Motor

Schleppmoment Regelung) and MBA

(Mechanical Brake Assist) (for

versions/markets, where provided).

System intervention

The driver can feel that the ABS system

has come into action because the

brake pedal pulsates slightly and the

system gets noisier: this is entirely

normal with the system operating.

ESC SYSTEM (Electronic

Stability Control)

(for versions/markets, where provided)

This is an electronic system that

controls vehicle stability in the event of

tyre grip loss, helping maintain

directional control. The system is

capable of recognising potentially

dangerous situations in terms of the

stability and intervenes automatically on

the brakes in a differentiated manner

for the four wheels in order to provide a

stabilising torque.

The ESC system switches on

automatically when the engine is

started and cannot be switched off.

System intervention

The intervention of the system is

indicated by the flashing of the ESC

warning light on the instrument panel,

to inform the driver that the vehicle is in

critical stability and grip conditions.

56) 57) 58) 59) 60) 61)

HH (Hill Holder) SYSTEM

This system is an integral part of the

ESC system and facilitates starting on

slopes.

It is automatically activated in the

following conditions:

❒ uphill: vehicle stationary on a road

with a gradient higher than 5%, engine

running, brake pressed and

transmission in neutral or gear other

than reverse engaged;

❒ downhill: vehicle stationary on a road

with a gradient higher than 5%, engine

running, brake pressed and reverse

gear engaged.

When setting off, the ESC system

control unit maintains the braking

pressure on the wheels until the torque

necessary for starting is reached, or

in any case for a maximum of 2

seconds, allowing your right foot to be

moved easily from the brake pedal to

the accelerator.

When two seconds have elapsed,

without starting, the system is

automatically deactivated, gradually

releasing the braking pressure. During

this release stage, the typical

mechanical brake release noise can be

heard, indicating that the vehicle is

about to move.

NOTE: the Hill Holder system is not

active with parking brake engaged.

IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is

not a parking brake, therefore do not

leave the vehicle without activating the

handbrake, switching off the engine,

and engaging first gear, with the vehicle

parked in safe conditions.

It is an integral part of the ESC system.

It is automatically activated in the case

of drive wheels slipping, loss of grip

on wet roads (aquaplaning) and

acceleration on slippery, snowy or icy

roads, etc.

Depending on the slipping conditions,

two different control systems are

activated:

❒ if the slipping involves both drive

wheels, the ASR intervenes reducing

the power transmitted by the engine;

❒ if the slipping only involves one of the

drive wheels, it intervenes automatically

braking the wheel that is slipping.

Engagement/disengagement of the

ASR system

The ASR system switches on

automatically each time the engine is

started.

Whilst driving, the ASR can be switched

off and subsequently switched on

again by pressing the ASR OFF button

fig. 46.

On some versions, the intervention of

the system is indicated by a dedicated

message shown on the display. When

the system is not active, the LED on the

button ASR OFF turns on and, on

some versions, a message appears on

the display.

When the ASR is deactivated whilst

driving, the next time the vehicle is

started the ASR is automatically

activated.

When travelling on snowy roads with

snow chains, it may be helpful to turn

the ASR off: in fact, in these conditions,

the driving wheels skidding when

setting off gives you better traction.

62) 63) 64) 65) 66)

HBA (Hydraulic Brake

Assist) SYSTEM

The HBA system is designed to

improve the vehicle's braking capacity

during emergency braking. The system

detects an emergency braking by

monitoring the speed and strength with

which the brake pedal is pressed,

thereby applying the optimal brake

pressure.

This can reduce the braking distance:

the HBA system therefore completes

the ABS.

Maximum assistance from the HBA

system is obtained by pressing the

brake pedal very quickly. In addition,

the brake pedal must be pressed

continuously during braking, avoiding

intermittent presses, to benefit from the

system.

Do not reduce pressure on the brake

pedal until braking is not necessary

anymore.

The HBA system is deactivated when

the brake pedal is released.

67) 68) 69)

ELD (Electronic Locking

Differential) SYSTEM

(Panda Cross and Panda 4x4 versions)

The ELD system allows the drive force

to be evenly distributed over the same

axle when one or both wheels are

slipping. The ELD acts by braking the

wheels with poor grip (or those slipping

more than the others), thereby

transferring the drive force to those

which have greater grip on the ground.

The system operates at speeds below

50 km/h. Above this speed, it is

automatically deactivated and it is

reactivated when the speed falls below

50 km/h.

F1D0038

SAFETY

The activation of the ELD system

involves the following functions being

switched on:

❒ inhibition of the ASR function, in

order to fully exploit the engine torque;

❒ differential lock effect on the front and

rear axles, via the braking system, to

improve drive on uneven surfaces.

Enabling the system

To arrange operation of the ELD system

press button A fig. 47 (4x4 versions)

or turn the ring nut fig. 48 to the right

(Cross versions) and keep it in this

position until LED 2 on the selector

lights up.

System intervention

The

warning light on the instrument

panel flashes to signal that the system

has intervened.

If the space-saver wheel is used

If the space-saver wheel is used, the

control unit for 4x4 drive detects its

presence (via the wheel speed signals)

and reduces the intervention of the

four-wheel drive mode to a minimum,

while guaranteeing the agility of the

vehicle. No fault/alarm signal is

displayed on the instrument panel or on

the display.

Disabling the system

To disable the system, press button A

fig. 47 (4x4 versions) or turn the ring nut

fig. 48 to the left (Cross versions) and

keep it in this position until LED 1

on the selector lights up.

HDC (Hill Descent

Control) SYSTEM

(Panda Cross versions)

It is an integral part of the ESC system

and is aimed at keeping the vehicle at a

constant speed during a descent,

operating autonomously on the brakes

in various ways at the same time. In this

way the HDC function helps the driver

when facing steep gradient roads in

low-grip and/or rough ground

conditions.

Noise and vibrations coming from the

wheel sides (brakes) when the HDC

system is activated are normal.

IMPORTANT The system does not

relieve the driver of the responsibility of

controlling the vehicle and does not

replace attention while driving. The

driver of the vehicle takes the complete

responsibility for the consequences of

their actions and of an incorrect and not

responsible use of the vehicle.

Enabling the system

To arrange operation of the HDC

system, turn ring nut fig. 49, with LED 2

on, to the right, and keep it in this

position until LED 3 on the selector

lights up. The

warning light comes

on in the instrument panel and the

dedicated message is displayed.

F1D0122

F1D0116

IMPORTANT System intervention

set-up can be engaged only with "Off

Road" mode activated.

System intervention

To activate the system reach a speed

slower than 25 km/h. After reaching the

desired speed, release the accelerator

and brake pedals completely. If you

want to increase/decrease the speed,

press the accelerator/brake pedals

again.

IMPORTANT The system is also

available for very low speeds between

the gearbox must be set to neutral to

prevent engine stalling.

IMPORTANT For speeds above 9 km/h,

the HDC system must be used with a

gear that is suitable for the set speed,

in order to prevent possible engine

stalling. While the HDC system is

operating it is also possible to take

control of the vehicle again by pressing

the brake and accelerator pedals. If

the HDC is not available when system

intervention set-up is engaged, this

could be due to brake overheating. In

this case, wait for a few minutes.

IMPORTANT The system is available for

speeds between 5 km/h and 25 km/h.

It is advisable to use the system with

low gears (first, second and third).

IMPORTANT On level ground in urban

areas it is advisable to deactivate the

HDC system intervention set-up, since

for speeds below 25 km/h in some

usage conditions, such as when setting

off, gearshifting and driving over road

humps without using the accelerator

pedal, the system might activate.

Disabling the system

To deactivate the system, turn the ring

nut fig. 49 to the left, keeping it in

this position until LED 3 on the selector

switches off.

IMPORTANT If the braking system

overheats the system will deactivate

through a gradual release of the braking

pressure, leaving vehicle control to the

driver. Deactivation of the HDC system

is accompanied by flashing of the

warning light, by a dedicated

message on the display and an

acoustic warning. To reactivate the

system intervention set-up wait for the

system to cool down and turn the

ring nut again.

IMPORTANT If the speed exceeds

system intervention set-up is

deactivated but is ready for being

reactivated when the speed drops back

below 25 km/h. In this case the

indication on the instrument panel turns

off and the LED on the ring nut stays

on. If vehicle speed exceeds 50 km/h,

the HDC system completely

deactivates and each individual action

made by the system on the brakes

is blocked. To reactivate it, turn the ring

nut again when the speed is again

below 25 km/h.

WARNING

47) The ABS exploits the grip available to

the full, but it cannot improve it. Therefore,

you should take great care when driving

on slippery surfaces, without taking

unnecessary risks.

48) When the ABS cuts in and you feel the

brake pedal pulsating, do not raise your

foot, but keep it pressed; in doing so you

will stop in the shortest amount of space

possible depending on the current road

conditions.

49) If the ABS intervenes, this indicates

that the grip of the tyres on the road is

nearing its limit. You must slow down to a

speed compatible with the available grip.

50) For maximum efficiency of the braking

system, a bedding-in period of about

500 km is required: during this period it is

advisable to avoid sharp, repeated and

prolonged braking.

51) The ABS cannot alter the natural laws

of physics, and cannot increase grip which

depends on the condition of the road.

52) The ABS cannot prevent accidents,

including those due to excessive speed on

corners, driving on low-grip surfaces or

aquaplaning.

53) The capability of the ABS must never

be tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in

such a way as to compromise personal

safety and the safety of others.

54) For the correct operation of the ABS,

the tyres must of necessity be the same

make and type on all wheels, in perfect

condition and, above all, of the prescribed

type and dimensions.

55) When the Mechanical Brake Assist

intervenes, noises may be heard from the

system. This is normal. In any case, keep

the brake pedal firmly depressed while

braking.

56) For the correct operation of the ESC

system, the tyres must of necessity be the

same make and type on all wheels, in

perfect condition and, above all, of the

prescribed type and size.

57) The ESC functions even when the

space-saver wheel is being used. Always

remember that the space-saver wheel,

being smaller than the original wheel,

provides less grip.

58) Do not take unnecessary risks, even if

your vehicle is fitted with an ESC system.

Your driving style must always be suited to

the road conditions, visibility and traffic.

The driver is always responsible for road

safety.

59) The ESC system cannot alter the

natural laws of physics, and cannot

increase grip which depends on the

condition of the road.

60) The ESC system cannot prevent

accidents, including those due to excessive

speed on corners, driving on low-grip

surfaces or aquaplaning.

61) The capability of the ESC system must

never be tested irresponsibly and

dangerously, in such a way as to

compromise personal safety and the safety

of others.

62) For the correct operation of the ASR

system, the tyres must of necessity be the

same make and type on all wheels, in

perfect condition and, above all, of the

prescribed type and size.

63) Do not take unnecessary risks, even if

your vehicle is fitted with an ASR system.

Your driving style must always be suited to

the road conditions, visibility and traffic.

The driver is ultimately responsible for road

safety.

64) The ASR system cannot alter the

natural laws of physics, and cannot

increase grip which depends on the

condition of the road.

65) The ASR system cannot prevent

accidents, including those due to excessive

speed on corners, driving on low-grip

surfaces or aquaplaning.

66) The capability of the ASR system must

never be tested irresponsibly and

dangerously, in such a way as to

compromise personal safety and the safety

of others.

67) The HBA system cannot increase tyre

grip on the road over the limits imposed by

laws of physics: always drive carefully

according to the conditions of the road

surface.

68) The HBA system cannot prevent

accidents, including those due to excessive

speed on bends, travelling on low-grip

surfaces or aquaplaning.

69) The HBA system is an aid for the driver,

who must always pay full attention while

driving. The responsibility always rests with

the driver. The features of the HBA system

must never be tested in imprudent or

dangerous ways, with the possibility of

putting the safety of the driver, occupants

or other road users at risk.

DRIVING

ASSISTANCE

SYSTEMS

TP (Traction Plus)

SYSTEM

(for versions/markets, where provided)

Traction Plus is a driving aid, useful

for setting off in poor grip conditions

(snow, ice, mud, etc.) which allows the

drive force to be distributed in the

best way over the front axle when one

wheel is slipping.

Traction Plus acts by braking the

wheels with poor grip (or those slipping

more than the others), thereby

transferring the drive force to those

which have greater grip on the ground.

Engagement/disengagement

The system is deactivated when

starting. To activate the Traction Plus

system, press the T+ button fig. 50: the

LED on the button switches on; the

display shows a dedicated message.

To disengage the system press the T+

button again.

Operation

This function operates below a

threshold of 30 km/h. When this speed

is exceeded, it is automatically

deactivated (the LED in the button

remains on) and it is reactivated as

soon as the speed goes below the level

of 30 km/h.

The activation of the Traction Plus

system causes the differential locking

effect on the front axle, through the

braking system, to improve traction on

irregular grounds.

If the Traction Plus system is faulty, the

ESC warning light on the instrument

panel switches on constantly.

SAFETY

CBC (City Brake

Control) SYSTEM -

"Collision Mitigation"

(for versions/markets, where provided)

70) 71) 72) 73) 74)

28) 29) 30) 31) 32) 33) 34)

This is a driving assistance system,

which includes a laser sensor, located

in the upper part of the windscreen

fig. 51, that can detect the presence of

nearby cars in front of the vehicle and,

in the case of an imminent collision,

intervenes automatically, braking the

vehicle to prevent the impact or

mitigate its effects.

The system only works if:

❒ the ignition key is at MAR;

❒ the vehicle speed is between 5 and

30 km/h;

❒ the front seat belts are fastened.

Anyway, the system can be deactivated

(then reactivated) through the Setup

Menu on the display.

The system intervenes if there is risk of

imminent collision and the driver does

not press the brake pedal promptly.

If the system detects that the vehicle

ahead could be hit, it may prepare the

vehicle to a possible emergency

braking.

If the driver does not carry out any

action to prevent the collision, the

system may automatically slow down

the vehicle, in order to prepare it to

a possible impact.

When there is risk of impact, if the

action on the brake pedal by the driver

is not sufficient, the system may

intervene in order to improve

the reaction of the braking system,

therefore reducing vehicle speed

further.

When driving uphill on a steep slope,

the system may intervene, activating

the braking system.

Versions equipped with Stop/Start

system: at the end of the automatic

braking, the Stop/Start system will

activate as described in the "Stop/Start

system" paragraph of the "Starting

and driving" chapter.

Versions equipped with manual

gearbox: at the end of the automatic

braking the engine may stall and turn

off, unless the driver presses the clutch

pedal.

Versions equipped with "Dualogic"

gearbox (for versions/markets, where

provided): at the end of braking the last

gear stored remains engaged.

IMPORTANT Both on versions

equipped with manual gearbox and on

those with "Dualogic" gearbox (for

versions/markets, where provided),

after the vehicle is stopped the brake

calipers may be stuck for about 2

seconds for safety reasons. Make sure

you press the brake pedal if the vehicle

moves slightly forwards.

IMPORTANT The system does NOT

activate when reverse is engaged. The

system does NOT activate if the front

seat belts are not fastened.

Engagement/disengagement

The system can be deactivated (then

reactivated) through the Setup Menu on

the display.

F1D0041

Driving in special conditions

In certain driving conditions, such as,

for example:

❒ driving close to a bend (see fig. 52);

❒ vehicles with small dimensions

and/or not aligned in the driving lane

(see fig. 53);

❒ lane change by other vehicles (see

fig. 54);

system intervention can be unexpected

or delayed. The driver must therefore

be very careful, keeping control of

the vehicle to drive in complete safety.

IMPORTANT If you are driving on roads

close to trees with protruding branches

it is advisable to deactivate the system

to prevent the branches at the height

of the bonnet or the windscreen from

interfering with the system.

iTPMS (indirect Tyre

Pressure Monitoring

System)

(for versions/markets, where provided)

75) 76) 77) 78) 79) 80)

The vehicle can be equipped with the

iTPMS (indirect Tire Pressure

Monitoring System) which monitors the

tyre inflation status thanks to wheel

speed sensors.

The system warns the driver if one or

more tyres are flat by the dedicated

warning light continuously on and a

dedicated warning message on the

display.

If one tyre only is flat, the system can

indicate its position: it is in any case

recommended to check the pressure

on all four tyres.

This indication is displayed also when

turning the engine off and on again until

the RESET procedure is carried out.

Reset procedure

The iTPMS needs an initial "self-

learning" phase (with length depending

on the driving style and road conditions:

optimal conditions being driving on a

straight road at 80 km/h for at least 20

minutes) which starts when the Reset

procedure is carried out.

The Reset procedure must be carried

out:

❒ each time tyre pressure is modified;

❒ when even only one tyre is changed;

❒ when tyres are rotated/inverted;

❒ when the space-saver wheel is fitted.

Before carrying out the Reset

procedure, inflate the tyres to the rated

pressure values specified in the inflation

pressure table (see "Wheels" paragraph

in the "Technical specifications"

chapter).

F1D0042

F1D0043

F1D0044

SAFETY

If the Reset procedure is not carried

out, in all above cases, the

warning

light may give false indications on

one or more tyres.

To carry out the RESET procedure, with

the vehicle stopped and the ignition

device at MAR, use the Main Menu as

follows:

❒ briefly press

button: the display will

show Reset;

❒ press

button or to select

(“Yes” or “No”);

❒ briefly press the

button: the

display will show "Confirm";

❒ press

button or to select

("Yes" to reset or "No" to exit the video

page);

❒ hold the

button down again to

return to the standard screen or to the

main menu according to where you

are in the menu.

At the end of the Reset procedure the

display will show the "Reset saved"

message, indicating that the self-

learning has been started.

Working conditions

The system is active for speeds above

15 km/h.

In a few situations such as sporty

driving, particular conditions of the road

surface (e.g. icy, snowy, unsurfaced

roads...) the signalling may be delayed

or partial in detecting the contemporary

deflation of more than one tyre.

Under special conditions (e.g. vehicle

loaded asymmetrically on one side,

towing a trailer, damaged or worn tyre,

fitting the space-saver wheel, use of the

"Fix&Go Automatic" kit, fitting snow

chains, fitting different tyres on the

axles) the system may give false

indications or be temporarily

deactivated.

If the system is temporarily deactivated

the

warning light flashes for about

75 seconds and then is continuously

on; at the same time, the display shows

a dedicated message.

This indication is displayed also after

the engine has been switched off and

then on again if the correct operating

conditions are not restored.

WARNING

70) The system is an aid for the driver, who

must always pay full attention while

driving. The responsibility always rests with

the driver, who must take into account

the traffic conditions in order to drive

in complete safety. The driver must always

maintain a safe distance from the vehicle

in front.

71) If the driver depresses the brake pedal

fully or carries out a fast steering during

system operation, the automatic braking

function may stop (e.g. to allow a possible

manoeuvre to avoid the obstacle).

72) The laser beam is not visible at the

naked eye. Do not look directly, or with

optical instruments (e.g. lenses), at the

laser beam from a distance lower than 10

cm: this may cause damage to the sight.

The laser beam is also present when

the key is at MAR but its operation is off,

not available or manually deactivated

with the display Setup Menu.

73) The system intervenes on vehicles

travelling in the same lane. Small sized

vehicles (e.g. bicycles or motorbikes)

or people, animals and things (e.g.

pushchairs) and more in general all those

obstacles with a low reflection of the light

emitted by the laser (e.g. vehicles soiled

with mud) are not taken into consideration.

74) If the vehicle must be placed on a roller

bench (at a speed within 5 and 30 km/h)

for maintenance interventions or if it is

washed in an automatic roller washing

tunnel with an obstacle in the front part

(e.g. another vehicle, a wall or another

obstacle), the system may detect its

presence and activate. In this case the

system must be deactivated through the

display Setup Menu.

75) If the system signals a pressure

decrease on a specific tyre, it is

recommended to check the pressure on all

four tyres.

76) iTPMS does not relieve the driver from

the obligation to check the tyre pressure

every month; it is not even to be

considered a replacing system for

maintenance or a safety system.

77) Tyre pressure must be checked with

tyres cold. Should it become necessary for

whatever reason to check pressure with

warm tyres, do not reduce pressure even

though it is higher than the prescribed

value, but repeat the check when tyres are

cold.

78) The iTPMS cannot indicate sudden

tyre pressure drops (for example when

a tyre bursts). In this case, stop the vehicle,

braking with caution and avoiding abrupt

steering.

79) The system only warns that the tyre

pressure is low: it is not able to inflate

them.

80) Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel

consumption, reduces the tread duration

and may affect the capacity to drive safely.

WARNING

28) The laser sensor may have limited or

absent operation due to weather

conditions such as: heavy rain, hail, thick

fog, heavy snow, formation of ice layers on

the windscreen.

29) Sensor operation may also be

compromised by the presence of dust,

condensation, dirt or ice on the

windscreen, by traffic conditions (e.g.

vehicles that are driving not aligned with

yours, vehicle driving in a transverse or

opposite way on the same lane, bend with

a small radius of curvature), by road

surface conditions and by driving

conditions (e.g. off-road driving). Make sure

the windscreen is always clean. Use

specific detergents and clean cloths to

avoid scratching the windscreen. The

sensor operation may also be limited or

absent in some driving, traffic and road

surface conditions.

30) Projecting loads on the roof of the

vehicle may interfere with the correct

operation of the sensor. Before starting

make sure the load is correctly positioned,

in order not to cover the sensor operating

range.

31) If the windscreen must be replaced

due to scratches, chipping or breakage,

contact exclusively a Fiat Dealership.

Do not replace the windscreen on your

own, risk of malfunction! It is advisable to

replace the windscreen if it is damaged

in the laser sensor area.

32) Do not tamper nor operate on the laser

sensor. Do not close the openings in the

aesthetic cover located under the interior

rear view mirror. In the event of a sensor

failure, contact a Fiat Dealership.

33) Do not cover the operating range of the

sensor with stickers or other objects. Also

pay attention to other objects on the

bonnet (e.g. a layer of snow) and make

sure they do not interfere with the light

emitted by the laser.

34) If a trailer or a vehicle is towed the

system must be deactivated with the

display Setup Menu.

SAFETY

OCCUPANT

PROTECTION

SYSTEMS

The most important safety equipment

of the vehicle comprises the following

protection systems:

❒ seat belts;

❒ SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system;

❒ head restraints;

❒ child restraint systems;

❒ front airbags and side bags.

Read the information given the

following pages with the utmost care. It

is of fundamental importance that the

protection systems are used in the

correct way to guarantee the maximum

possible safety level for the driver and

the passengers.

For the description of the headrest

adjustment see the "Headrests"

paragraph in the "Knowing your

vehicle" chapter.

SEAT BELTS

USING THE SEAT BELTS

The driver is responsible for respecting,

and ensuring that all the other

occupants of the vehicle also respect,

the local laws in force in relation to

the use of the seat belts.

Always fasten the seat belts before

setting off.

The belt should be worn keeping the

torso straight and rested against the

backrest.

To fasten the seat belts, hold tongue A

fig. 55 and insert it into buckle B, until

it clicks into place. On removal, if the

seat belt jams, let it rewind for a short

stretch, then pull it out again without

jerking.

To unfasten the seat belts, press button

C. Guide the seat belt with your hand

while it is rewinding, to prevent it from

twisting. Through the retractor, the

belt automatically adapts to the body of

the passenger wearing it, allowing

freedom of movement.

81)

The rear seat is fitted with inertia seat

belts with three anchor points and a

retractor. Wear the rear seat belts

as shown in fig. 56 (4-seater versions)

or fig. 57 (5-seater versions).

82) 83) 84)

F1D0050

F1D0051

F1D0052

IMPORTANT When putting the back

seat to its normal position, make sure

the seat belts are positioned so they are

ready to use.

ADJUSTING THE SEAT

BELT HEIGHT

(for versions/markets, where provided)

85) 86)

Four different adjustments in height are

provided. To adjust, press button A

fig. 58 and raise or lower handle B.

Always adjust the height of the seat belt

to fit the person wearing it: this

precaution could greatly reduce the risk

of injury in the case of collision.

Correct adjustment is obtained when

the belt passes approximately half way

between the shoulder and the neck.

For some versions, front seat belts have

just one fixed anchor point located on

the door pillar.

WARNING

81) Never press button C fig. 55 when

travelling.

82) Remember that in the event of an

accident, the rear seat passengers not

wearing seat belts are exposed to a very

serious risk and also represent a serious

danger for the front seat occupants.

83) The rear central seat belt (for

versions/markets, where provided) is

provided with a service buckle. Do not use

the seat belt with the service buckle not

fastened. In this case there is a high risk of

injury or death in the event of an accident.

Before using the belt, always make sure

that the service buckle is correctly

fastened.

84) The rear left and right side belts are

provided with an adjustment device for the

metal tongue position (metal hook). Adjust

the tongue position with respect to the seat

belt to improve comfort and reduce noise

inside the passenger compartment.

85) Stop the vehicle to adjust the seat belt

height.

86) After height adjustment, make sure that

the cursor to which the ring is secured is

blocked in one of the preset positions.

To do this, with button A fig. 58 released,

exert further pressure downwards to allow

the locking device to click if the grip has

not been released in one of the possible

positions.

SBR (Seat Belt

Reminder) SYSTEM

The SBR system warns the passengers

of the front and rear (for versions/

markets, where provided) seats if their

seat belt is not fastened.

The system signals unfastened seat

belts with visual warnings (warning

lights on in the instrument panel and

icons on the display) and an acoustic

signal (see the following paragraphs).

Contact a Fiat Dealership to deactivate

this acoustic warning permanently.

The acoustic warning can be

reactivated at any time through the

display Setup Menu.

F1D0053

SAFETY

With driver and/or passenger side (with

passenger present) seat belts

unfastened, when 20 km/h are

exceeded or when travelling at a speed

between 10 and 20 km/h for longer

than 5 seconds, an acoustic signal

cycle will be started for the front seats

(continuous acoustic signal for 6

seconds followed by a 90 second

beep) and the warning light will flash.

Once the cycle is complete, the

warning lights stay on with a fixed light

until the vehicle is turned off or the

seat belt fastened.

If the seat belt is unfastened again while

travelling, the acoustic warning restarts

as described previously and the

icon

is displayed.

For the rear seats, the reminder cycle is

only activated when any seat belt is

unfastened together with an acoustic

warning (three beeps). If the condition

of any (front or rear) seat belt changes,

also the condition of the other

(front/rear) seat belts is reported.

The visual indication (display of the

icon) will start and stop

independently for each warning light if

several seat belts are unfastened.

The visual indication will change

condition (display of the

icon) after

the corresponding seat belt has been

fastened again.

IMPORTANT When the ignition key is

turned to MAR, if all the front and

rear belts are already fastened the

warning lights will be displayed for

30 seconds.

87) 88) 89) 90)

35)

The vehicle is equipped with front seat

belt pretensioners, which draw back

the seat belts by several centimetres in

the event of a strong frontal impact.

This guarantees the perfect adherence

of the seat belts to the occupant's

bodies before the retention action

begins.

It is evident that the pretensioners have

operated when the belt withdraws

towards the retractor. This vehicle is

also equipped with a second

pretensioner (in the kick plate area). Its

activation is signalled by the shortening

of the metal cable.

A slight discharge of smoke may be

produced during the activation of the

pretensioner which is not harmful and

does not involve any fire hazard.

If, due to unusual natural events (floods,

sea storms, etc.), the device has been

affected by water and/or mud, contact

a Fiat Dealership to have it replaced.

IMPORTANT To obtain the highest

degree of protection from the action of

the pretensioner, wear the seat belt

tight to the chest and pelvis.

LOAD LIMITERS

To increase occupant safety, the

retractors contain a load limiter to dose

the force acting on the chest and

shoulders during the belt restraining

action in the case of frontal collisions.

GENERAL

INSTRUCTIONS FOR

USING THE SEAT BELTS

The driver is responsible for respecting,

and ensuring that all the other

occupants of the vehicle also respect,

the local laws in force in relation to

the use of the seat belts. Always fasten

the seat belts before setting off.

Seat belts are also to be worn by

pregnant women: the risk of injury in

the case of impact is greatly reduced

for them and the unborn child if they

are wearing a seat belt. Pregnant

women must position the lower part of

the belt very low down so that it passes

over the pelvis and under the

abdomen (see fig. 60 ). While

pregnancy increases, the driver must

adjust both seat and steering wheel to

have full control over the vehicle (pedals

and steering wheel should be easily

accessed). The maximum clearance

should be kept between the abdomen

and the steering wheel.

The seat belt must not be twisted. The

upper part must pass over the shoulder

and cross the chest diagonally. The

lower part must adhere to the pelvis (as

shown in fig. 61) rather than the

abdomen of the occupant. Do not use

devices (clips, etc.) to hold the seat belt

away from your body.

F1D0123

F1D0124

SAFETY

Each seat belt must be used by only

one person. Never travel with a child

sitting on the passenger's lap and

a single belt to protect them both fig.62.

In general, do not place any objects

between the person and the belt.

MAINTENANCE OF THE

SEAT BELTS

For keeping the seat belts in efficient

conditions, carefully observe the

following warnings:

❒ always use the seat belt with the

strap well stretched and not twisted;

make sure that it is free to run without

obstructions;

❒ replace the belt after an accident of a

certain severity even if it does not

appear to be damaged. Always replace

the seat belt if the pretensioners were

deployed;

❒ prevent the retractors from getting

wet: their correct operation is only

guaranteed if water does not get inside

❒ replace the seat belt when it shows

wear or cuts.

WARNING

87) The pretensioner may be used only

once. Contact a Fiat Dealership to have it

replaced after it has been deployed.

88) For maximum safety, keep the backrest

upright, lean back into it and make sure

the seat belt fits closely across your chest

and pelvis. Always fasten the seat belts

on both the front and the rear seats!

Travelling without wearing seat belts will

increase the risk of serious injury and even

death in the event of an accident.

89) Removing or tampering with the seat

belt and pretensioner components is

strictly prohibited. Any intervention on

these components must be performed by

qualified and authorised technicians.

Always contact a Fiat Dealership.

90) If the belt has been sharply pulled, for

example as the result of an accident, the

seat belt, together with the anchoring

devices, the anchoring device fixing screws

and the pretensioner must be completely

replaced. Even if the belt does not present

any exterior signs of wear or damage, it

may have lost its restraining properties.

WARNING

35) Operations which lead to impacts,

vibrations or localised heating (over 100°C

for a maximum of six hours) in the area

around the pretensioner may damage or

deploy it. Contact a Fiat Dealership should

intervention be necessary on these

components.

F1D0125

CHILD PROTECTION

SYSTEMS

CARRYING CHILDREN

SAFELY

91) 92) 93) 94)

For optimal protection in the event of an

impact, all occupants must be seated

and wearing adequate restraint

systems, including newborn and other

children! This prescription is

compulsory in all EC countries

according to EC Directive 2003/20/EC.

Children below the height of 1.50

metres and up to 12 years must be

protected with suitable restraint

systems and be seated on the rear

seats.

Statistics on accidents indicate that the

rear seats offer greater safety for

children.

Compared with an adult, a child's head

is larger and heavier in proportion to

their body and the child's muscular and

bone structures are not fully developed.

Therefore, correct restraint systems

other than adult seat belts are

necessary to reduce as much as

possible the risk of injuries in the event

of an accident, braking or sudden

manoeuvre.

Children must be seated safely and

comfortably. Depending on the

characteristics of the child restraint

systems used, you are advised to keep

children in rearward facing child

restraint systems for as long as

possible (at least until 3–4 years old),

since this is the most protected position

in the event of an impact.

The choice of the most suitable child

restraint system depends on the weight

and size of the child. There are various

types of child restraint systems, which

can be secured to the vehicle by means

of the seat belts or with the ISOFIX

anchorages.

It is recommended to always choose

the restraint system most suitable

for the child; for this reason always refer

to the Owner Handbook provided with

the child restraint system, to be sure

that it is of the right type for the children

it is intended for.

In Europe the characteristics of child

restraint systems are ruled by the

regulation ECE-R44, dividing them into

five weight groups:

Group Weight range

Group0 upto10kg

Group 0+ up to 13 kg

Group 1 9 - 18 kg

Group 2 15 - 25 kg

Group 3 22 - 36 kg

All restraint devices must bear the

certification data, together with the

control mark, on a label solidly fixed to

the child restraint system which must

never be removed.

Lineaccessori MOPAR

includes child

restraint systems for each weight

group. These devices are

recommended having been specifically

designed for Fiat vehicles.

FITTING A CHILD

RESTRAINT SYSTEM

WITH SEAT BELTS

95) 96) 97)

The Universal child restraint systems

installed with the seat belts only are

type-approved on the basis of the ECE

R44 standard and are divided into

various weight groups.

IMPORTANT The figures are indicative

and provided for assembly purposes

only. Fit the child restraint system

according to the instructions, which

must be included.

SAFETY

IMPORTANT Following an accident of a

certain importance, it is recommended

to replace both the child restraint

system and the seat belt to which it

was bound.

Group 0 and 0+

Infants up to 13 kg must be carried with

a rearward facing child restraint system

of the type shown in fig. 63 which,

supporting the head, does not induce

stress on the neck in the event of

sudden decelerations.

The child restraint system is restrained

by the vehicle seat belts, as shown

in fig. 63 and it must restrain the child in

turn with its own belts.

Group 1

Children of weight from 9 to 18 kg may

be carried in forward facing position

fig. 64

Group 2

Children from 15 to 25 kg may use the

vehicle seat belts directly fig. 65.

In this case, the child restraint system is

used to position the child correctly

with respect to the seat belts so that

the diagonal belt section crosses the

child’s chest and not the neck, and the

lower part is snug on the pelvis not

the abdomen.

Group 3

For children between 22 kg and 36 kg,

there are boosters which allow the

seat belt to be worn correctly.

The fig. 66 shows the correct child

positioning on the rear seat.

Children over 1.50 m in height can wear

seat belts like adults.

SAFETY

(

) IMPORTANT: NEVER fit rearward facing child restraint systems on the front seat with an active passenger side airbag.

Deactivate the respective airbag to install a rearward facing child restraint system (see instructions in the “Supplementary Restraint

System (SRS) - Airbag” paragraph).

(*)

FITTING AN ISOFIX

CHILD RESTRAINT

SYSTEM

98) 99) 100) 101)

The vehicle is equipped with ISOFIX

anchorages, a new standard which

makes fitting a child restraint system

quick, simple and safe.

The ISOFIX system allows the ISOFIX

child restraint systems to be fitted,

without using the vehicle's seat belt,

but directly securing the child restraint

system to three anchorages present on

the vehicle. Traditional child restraint

systems can be fitted alongside ISOFIX

child restraint systems on different

seats in the same vehicle.

To install an ISOFIX child restraint

system, attach it to the two metal

anchorages A fig. 67 located where the

rear seat cushion meets the backrest,

then fix the upper strap (available

together with the restraint system) to

the dedicated anchorage B fig. 68

located at the bottom behind the

backrest.

For versions with sliding split rear seat,

use the suitable catches shown in

fig. 69 on the tube at the base of the

backrest.

fig. 70 shows an example of a Universal

ISOFIX child restraint system for weight

group 1.

IMPORTANT The fig. 70 is indicative

and for assembly purposes only. Fit the

child restraint system according to

the instructions, which must be

included.

IMPORTANT Following an accident of a

certain importance, it is recommended

to replace both the child restraint

system and the Isofix anchoring

devices.

Main recommendations to carry

children safely

❒ Install the child restraint systems on

the rear seat, which is the most

protected position in the event of an

impact.

❒ Keep children in rearward facing child

restraint systems for as long as

possible, until 3–4 years old if possible.

❒ Should a rearward facing child

restraint system be installed on the rear

seats, it is advisable to position it as

far forward as the position of the front

seat allows.

❒ If the passenger's front airbag is

deactivated, always check that the

warning light is on constantly in the

central dashboard, to make sure that it

has actually been deactivated.

❒ Carefully follow the instructions

supplied with the child restraint system.

Keep the instructions in the vehicle

along with the other documents and

this handbook. Do not use second-

hand child restraint systems without

instructions.

❒ Only one child is to be strapped into

each restraint system; never carry

two children using one child restraint

system.

❒ Always check that the seat belts do

not rest on the child’s neck.

❒ Always check that the seat belt is

well fastened by pulling on it.

❒ While travelling, do not let the child sit

incorrectly or unfasten the belts.

❒ Never allow a child to put the belt's

diagonal section under an arm or

behind their back.

❒ Never carry children on your lap,

even newborns. No one can hold

a child in the case of an accident.

❒ In the event of an accident, replace

the child restraint system with a new

one.

WARNING

91) SEVERE DANGER When a front

passenger airbag is fitted, do not install

rear facing child restraint systems on the

front passenger seat. Deployment of

the airbag in an accident could cause fatal

injuries to the child regardless of the

severity of the collision. It is advisable to

always carry children in a child restraint

system on the rear seat, which is the most

protected position in the event of an

impact.

92) On the sun visor there is a label with

suitable symbols reminding the user that it

is compulsory to deactivate the airbag if

a rearward facing child restraint system is

fitted. Always comply with the instructions

on the passenger's side sun visor (see

the "Supplementary Restraint System

(SRS) - Airbag" paragraph).

93) Should it be necessary to carry a child

on the passenger side front seat in a rear

facing child restraint system, the passenger

side front airbag and side bag must be

deactivated through the display main

menu, verifying deactivation by checking

that the

warning light has switched

on in the central part of the dashboard.

Move the passenger's seat as far back as

possible to avoid contact between the child

restraint system and the dashboard.

94) Do not adjust the front or rear seat if a

child is seated on it or on the dedicated

child restraint system.

95) Incorrect fitting of the child restraint

system may result in an inefficient

protection system. In the event of an

accident the child restraint system may

become loose and the child may be

injured, even fatally. When fitting a restraint

system for newborns or children, strictly

comply with the instructions provided

by the Manufacturer.

96) When the child restraint system is not

used, secure it with the seat belt or with

the ISOFIX anchorages, or remove it from

the vehicle. Do not leave it unsecured

inside the passenger compartment. In this

way, in the case of sudden braking or an

accident, it will not cause injuries to the

occupants.

97) After installing a child restraint system,

do not move the seat: always remove

the child restraint system before making

any adjustment.

SAFETY

98) Always make sure that the chest

section of the seat belt does not pass

under the arms or behind the back of the

child. In the event of an accident the seat

belt will not be able to secure the child,

with the risk of injury, including fatal injury.

Therefore the child must always wear

the seat belt correctly.

99) Do not use the same lower anchorage

to install more than one child restraint

system.

100) If a Universal ISOFIX child restraint

system is not fixed to all three anchorages,

it will not be able to protect the child

correctly. In a crash, the child could be

seriously or fatally injured.

101) Fit the child restraint system only

when the vehicle is stationary. The child

restraint system is correctly fixed to the

brackets when you hear the click. Follow

the instructions for assembly, disassembly

and positioning that the Manufacturer

must supply with the child restraint system.

SUPPLEMENTARY

RESTRAINT SYSTEM

(SRS) - AIRBAG

The vehicle is equipped with:

❒ front driver airbag;

❒ front passenger airbag;

❒ front side bags for pelvis, chest and

shoulder protection of driver and

passenger (for versions/markets, where

provided);

❒ side bags for head protection of front

seat passengers and rear side seat

passengers (window bag).

FRONT AIRBAGS

102)

The front (driver and passenger) airbags

protect the front seat 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.

Therefore non-activation of airbags in

other types of collisions (side impacts,

rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) does not

indicate a system malfunction.

Driver and passenger front airbags are

not a replacement of but

complementary to the seat belts, which

should always be worn, as specified

by law in Europe and most non-

European countries.

In the event of an impact, those not

wearing a seat belt are projected

forwards, and may come into contact

with the bag which is still inflating.

The protection offered by the bag is

compromised in these circumstances.

The front airbags may not activate in

the case of a frontal impact against

highly deformable objects not involving

the front surface of the vehicle (e.g.

wing collision against guard rail) or in

the case of the vehicle wedging under

other vehicles or protective barriers

(e.g. under trucks or guard rails).

Failure to activate in the conditions

described above is due to the fact that

they may not provide any additional

protection compared with seat belts, so

their activation would be inappropriate.

In these cases, non-deployment does

not indicate a system malfunction.

Passenger side front airbag

This consists of an instantly inflating

cushion contained in a special

compartment in the dashboard fig. 72:

this bag has a larger volume than

that of the driver's.

Passenger side front airbag and

104)

Rearward facing child restraint systems

must NEVER be fitted on the front

seat with an active passenger side

airbag since in the event of an impact

the airbag activation may cause fatal

injuries to the transported child.

ALWAYS comply with the instructions

on the label stuck on the passenger

side sun visor fig. 73.

Deactivating the passenger side

airbags: front airbag and side bag

If a child must be carried on the front

seat in a rearward facing child restraint

system, deactivate the passenger

front airbag and the side bags. With

airbags deactivated, the

SIDE BAGS (Side bag -

Window bag)

To help increase occupants protection

in the event of a side impact, the

vehicle is equipped with front side bags

(for versions/markets, where provided)

and window bag (for versions/markets,

where provided).

Side bags protect occupants from

side-on crashes of medium/high

severity by placing the bag between the

occupant and the internal parts of the

side structure of the vehicle.

Non-activation of side bags in other

types of collisions (front collisions, rear

shunts, roll-overs, etc.) does not

indicate a system malfunction.

Side bags

(for versions/markets, where provided)

These comprise two types of bags

located in the front seat backrests fig.

76 which protect the pelvis, chest

and shoulder area of the occupants in

the event of a side impact of

medium/high severity.

Window bag

This consists of two "curtain" bags

housed behind the side upholstery of

the roof fig. 77 and covered with

finishing elements, which protect the

heads of front and rear occupants

in the event of a side impact.

The deployment of side bags in the

event of side impacts of low severity is

not required.

In the event of a side impact, the

system provides best protection if the

passenger sits on the seat in a correct

position, thus allowing correct window

bag deployment.

The window bag is not available for the

VAN version.

Important

Do not wash the seats with water or

pressurised steam (wash by hand or at

automatic seat washing stations).

The front and/or side airbags

may activate in the event of sharp

impacts to the underbody of the vehicle

(e.g. impact with steps, pavements,

potholes or road bumps etc.).

When the airbag deploys it emits a

small amount of dust: the dust is

harmless and does not indicate the

beginning of a fire. The dust may irritate

the skin and eyes however: in this

case, wash with neutral soap

and water.

Airbag checking, repair and

replacement must be carried out at a

Fiat Dealership.

If the vehicle is scrapped, have the

airbag system deactivated at a Fiat

Dealership.

F1D0066

F1D0067

SAFETY

Pretensioners and airbags are deployed

in different ways on the basis of the

type of collision. Failure to deploy

of one of the devices does not

necessarily indicate a system

malfunction.

WARNING

102) Do not apply stickers or other objects

on the steering wheel, on the dashboard

in the passenger side airbag area, on

the side cover on the roof and on

the seats. Never put objects (e.g. mobile

phones) on the passenger's side

dashboard since they could interfere with

correct inflation of the airbag and also

cause serious injury to the passengers.

103) Always drive keeping your hands on

the steering wheel rim so that the airbag

can inflate freely if necessary. Do not drive

with your body bent forward. Keep your

back straight against the backrest.

104) When an active passenger airbag is

fitted, DO NOT install rearward facing child

restraint systems on the front seat.

Deployment of the airbag in an accident

could cause fatal injuries to the child

regardless of the severity of the impact.

Therefore, always deactivate the passenger

side airbag when a rearward facing child

restraint system is installed on the front

passenger seat. The front passenger seat

must also be positioned back as far as

possible in order to prevent the child

restraint system from coming into contact

with the dashboard. Immediately reactivate

the passenger airbag as soon as the child

restraint system has been removed.

105) Do not affix rigid objects to the coat

hooks or support handles.

106) Do not rest the head, arms or elbows

on the door, windows and window bag

area to avoid possible injuries during

inflation.

107) Never lean your head, arms and

elbows out of the window.

108) If the

warning light stays on whilst

driving, a fault may have occurred in the

restraint systems. In this case the airbags

or pretensioners may not be deployed

in an impact or, in a lower number of

cases, they may be deployed accidentally.

Before continuing, contact a Fiat

Dealership immediately to have the system

checked.

109) In the event of “yellow”

warning

light failure, the “red”

warning light

switches on and, for versions/markets

where provided, the explosive charges of

the passenger airbag and the side bags

are deactivated. When the "red" warning

light is on, before proceeding contact a Fiat

Dealership to have the system immediately

checked (see previous warning).

110) On vehicles with side bags, do not

cover the front seat backrests with extra

covers.

111) Do not travel carrying objects in your

lap, in front of your chest or between

your lips (pipe, pencils, etc.). They could

cause severe injury if the airbag is

deployed.

112) If the vehicle has been stolen or in the

case of attempt to steal it, if it has been

subjected to vandalism or floods, have the

airbag system checked by a Fiat

Dealership.

113) Airbags may be deployed if another

vehicle crashes into the vehicle, if the key is

inserted and at MAR even if the engine is

not running and the vehicle is stationary.

Therefore, even if the vehicle is stationary,

when an active front passenger airbag

is fitted, DO NOT install rearward facing

child restraint systems on the front

passenger seat. Deployment of the airbag

following an impact could cause fatal

injuries to the child. Therefore, always

deactivate the passenger side airbag when

a rearward facing child restraint system is

installed on the front passenger seat.

The front passenger seat must also be

positioned back as far as possible in order

to prevent the child restraint system from

coming into contact with the dashboard.

Immediately reactivate the passenger

airbag as soon as the child restraint system

has been removed. Also remember that, if

the key is turned to STOP, none of the

safety devices (airbags or pretensioners)

will be deployed in the event of collision.

Non-deployment in such cases does

not indicate a system malfunction.

114) The

airbag warning light indicates

the passenger protection status. If the

warning light is off, the passenger side

protection is activated. It can be

deactivated from the menu, in this case the

warning light comes on. When the vehicle

is started (ignition key in MAR position), the

warning light comes on for approx. 8

seconds, provided that at least 5 seconds

have elapsed from the previous switching

off. If this does not happen please contact

a Fiat Dealership. If the vehicle is switched

off/on again in less than 5 seconds the

warning light may remain off. In this case,

to check correct warning light operation,

switch the vehicle off, wait at least 5

seconds and switch on again. During the

first 8 seconds, the activation of the

warning light does not actually show the

passenger protection status, but only

checks its correct operation. The warning

light may light up with various intensity

levels depending on the vehicle conditions.

The intensity may also vary during the

same key cycle. (The warning light is tested

also for markets where the passenger

protection deactivation function is

not provided, and the warning light

switches on for less than one second when

the key is turned to MAR, then switches

off again.)

115) The front airbag deployment threshold

is higher than that of the pretensioners.

For collisions in the range between the two

thresholds, it is normal for only the

pretensioners to be activated.

116) The airbag does not replace seat

belts but increases their effectiveness.

Because front airbags are not deployed for

low-speed crashes, side collisions,

rear-end shunts or rollovers, occupants are

protected, in addition to any side bags,

only by their seat belts, which must

therefore always be fastened.

117) If the “red”

warning light does not

switch on for a few seconds when the

key is turned to MAR, there may be a fault

with the “red” warning light. In this case,

after a few seconds, the

warning light

starts flashing. Before proceeding, contact

a Fiat Dealership immediately to have the

system checked.

SAFETY

STARTING AND DRIVING

Let’s get to the "heart" of the vehicle:

seeing how you can exploit all of its

potential to the full.

We’ll look at how to drive it safely in any

situation, so that it can be a welcome

companion, with our comfort and

our wallets in mind.

STARTING THE

ENGINE

118) 119)

36) 37) 38) 39)

Before starting the engine, adjust the

seat, the interior rear view mirrors,

the door mirrors and fasten the seat

belt correctly.

Never press the accelerator pedal for

starting the engine.

VERSIONS WITH MANUAL

GEARBOX

Petrol versions

Proceed as follows:

❒ engage the handbrake and place the

gear lever in neutral. For 0.9 TwinAir

and 0.9 TwinAir Turbo versions

engage the handbrake and place the

gear lever in neutral or fully press the

clutch pedal if a gear other than neutral

is engaged;

❒ for all versions (except 0.9

TwinAir Turbo) fully depress the clutch

pedal, without pressing the accelerator;

❒ turn the ignition key to AVV and

release it as soon as the engine starts.

Diesel versions

Proceed as follows:

❒ engage the handbrake, put the gear

lever into neutral and turn the ignition

key to MAR: the warning lights

and on the instrument panel

will turn on;

❒ wait for the warning lights

and

to turn off and then fully depress

the clutch pedal without pressing the

accelerator;

❒ turn the ignition key to AVV as soon

as warning light

switches off.

Release the ignition key as soon as the

engine starts.

IMPORTANT If the engine does not

start at the first attempt, return the

ignition key to STOP before repeating

the procedure. If, with the ignition

key at MAR, the warning lights

and

(only for petrol versions) stay on

in the instrument panel, the ignition key

must be brought back to STOP and

then to MAR again. If the

warning

light stays on, retry with the other

keys provided. Contact a Fiat

Dealership if you still cannot start the

engine.

VERSIONS WITH

DUALOGIC GEARBOX

120)

Engine starting is allowed both with a

gear engaged and with the gearbox

in neutral (N).

However, the brake pedal must always

be pressed first if neutral is not

engaged. It is therefore advisable to

place the gear lever in neutral (N) before

starting the engine.

LPG AND NATURAL

POWER VERSIONS

The engine always starts up on petrol

independently of the mode previously

selected.

40)

STOPPING THE ENGINE

41)

Turn the ignition key to STOP while the

engine is idling.

IMPORTANT After a demanding drive,

before turning the engine off you should

allow it to idle to allow the temperature

in the engine compartment to

decrease.

STARTING AND DRIVING

WARNING

118) It is dangerous to run the engine in

enclosed areas. The engine takes in

oxygen and releases carbon dioxide,

carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.

119) Remember that the brake servo

and power steering are not operational until

the engine has been started, therefore

you need to apply much more force than

usual to the brake pedal and steering

wheel.

120) If the engine fails to start with a gear

engaged, the potentially dangerous

situation due to the fact that the gearbox is

automatically placed in neutral will be

signalled by an acoustic signal.

WARNING

36) If the warning light flashes for 60

seconds after starting or during an

extended towing period, this indicates a

problem in the glow plug preheating

system. You can use the vehicle as usual if

the engine starts but you should contact

a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

37) It is advisable not to demand maximum

performance from your vehicle (e.g.

excessive acceleration, long distances at

maximum rpm, excessively intense braking,

etc.) when it is first used.

38) When the engine is off, do not leave

the key turned to MAR to prevent

unnecessary electrical consumption from

draining the battery.

39) 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.

40) There must therefore always be some

petrol in the tank to protect the petrol

pump and to guarantee temporary

switching from LPG or Methane to petrol

operation, if high performance is required.

41) A quick burst on the accelerator

before stopping the engine serves no

practical purpose; it wastes fuel and is

especially damaging to turbocharged

engines.

HANDBRAKE

121) 122) 123)

The handbrake lever is located between

the two front seats.

Handbrake engagement: pull lever A

fig. 78 upwards until the vehicle is

braked.

Handbrake disengagement: slightly

raise lever A and hold button B pressed

checking that the

warning light

switches off in the instrument panel.

F1D0068

WARNING

121) Never leave children unattended in

the vehicle. Always remove the key from

the ignition device when leaving the vehicle

and take it with you.

122) The vehicle should be braked after a

few clicks of the lever, if it is not, contact

a Fiat Dealership to have it adjusted.

123) In the case of parking manoeuvres on

roads on a gradient, the front wheels

must be steered towards the pavement

(when parking downhill), or in the opposite

direction if the vehicle is parked uphill. If

the vehicle is parked on a steep slope, it is

also advisable to block the wheels with a

wedge or stone.

MANUAL GEARBOX

124) 42)

To engage the gears, press the clutch

pedal fully and put the gear lever into

the required position (the diagram

for gear engagement is shown on the

knob fig. 79).

For 0.9 TwinAir, 0.9 TwinAir Turbo and

1.2 8v 69 HP versions: to engage

reverse R from neutral, raise ring A fig.

79 underneath the knob and, at the

same time, shift the lever to the right

and then backwards.

For version 1.3 16v MultiJet : to engage

reverse R from neutral position, shift

the lever to the right and then back.

IMPORTANT Reverse can only be

engaged when the vehicle is completely

stationary. With the engine running,

wait for at least 2 seconds with the

clutch pedal fully pressed before

engaging reverse to prevent damage to

the gears and grating.

IMPORTANT The clutch pedal should

be used only for gear changes. Do

not drive with your foot resting on the

clutch pedal, however lightly. For

versions/markets where provided, the

electronic clutch pedal control could cut

in, interpreting the incorrect driving

style as a fault.

WARNING

124) Depress the clutch pedal fully to

change gear correctly. It is therefore

essential that there is nothing under the

pedals: make sure the mats are lying

flat and do not get in the way of the

pedals.

WARNING

42) Do not drive with your hand resting on

the gear lever as the force exerted, even

if slight, could lead over time to premature

wear of the internal gearbox components.

F1D0069

STARTING AND DRIVING

DUALOGIC

GEARBOX

(for versions/markets, where provided)

43)

The vehicle can be equipped with an

electronically controlled manual

gearbox known as Dualogic which

allows two operating modes: MANUAL

and AUTO.

GEAR LEVER

The gear lever A fig. 80, located on the

dashboard, is floating multistable type,

i.e. it has three stable positions and

three unstable positions.

The three stable positions correspond

to neutral (N), reverse (R) and the

central position located between the

unstable positions (+) and (-).

F1D0107

The unstable positions, in other words

those that are abandoned as soon

as the lever is released, are the

positions for requesting a higher gear

(+), requesting a lower gear (–) and

requesting automatic operating mode

(A/M).

IMPORTANT With the engine started,

any error between the lever position

and the gear actually engaged is

signalled by a buzzer until consistency

is restored.

MANUAL MODE

Proceed as follows:

❒ press the brake pedal and start the

engine;

❒ if AUTO appears on the display,

move the lever A fig. 80 to A/M

to select MANUAL mode;

❒ push gear lever A towards (+) to

engage first gear (if starting from N or

R, simply place the lever in the middle

position) or R to engage reverse;

❒ release the brake pedal and press

the accelerator pedal;

❒ in driving conditions, push lever A of

the gearbox towards (+) to engage

the next gear up or towards (–) to

engage the next gear down.

AUTOMATIC MODE

Proceed as follows:

❒ press the brake pedal;

❒ start the engine;

❒ if AUTO does not appear on the

display, move the gear lever A fig. 80 to

A/M to select AUTOMATIC mode;

❒ push the gear lever towards (+) to

engage 1st gear (if starting from N or R,

simply place the lever in the middle

position) or R to engage reverse;

❒ release the brake pedal and press

the accelerator pedal: the gear most

suited to the vehicle speed will be

engaged.

AUTO-ECO OPERATION

To activate the function press the ECO

button fig. 81 on the central tunnel.

The ECO function can be only activated

only with automatic mode active.

F1D0108

With the ECO function active, the

system will select the most suitable

gear depending on the vehicle speed,

engine rpm and intensity with which the

accelerator pedal is pressed, with the

aim of limiting fuel consumption.

“Kick Down” FUNCTION

(for versions/markets, where provided)

If necessary (e.g. when overtaking),

the system downshifts one or more

gears when the accelerator pedal

is depressed beyond the point where it

becomes stiff (and if the rpm allow it)

in order to provide suitable power and

torque for the acceleration requested

by the driver.

IMPORTANT The use of the “Kick

Down” function is recommended only

when overtaking or accelerating quickly,

in order not to increase fuel

consumption.

WARNING

43) Avoid keeping your hand on this lever

except during gear change or AUTO/

MANUAL mode requests.

STOP/START

SYSTEM

125) 126) 44)

The Stop/Start system automatically

stops the engine when the vehicle

is stationary and starts it again when

the driver wants to move off. This

reduces consumption, the emission of

harmful gases and noise pollution.

OPERATING MODE

Engine stopping mode: with the

vehicle stopped, the engine stops with

gearbox in neutral and clutch pedal

released.

Note The engine can only be stopped

automatically after exceeding a speed

of about 10 km/h, to prevent the engine

from being repeatedly stopped when

driving at walking pace.

Restarting the engine: press the

clutch pedal to restart the engine.

MANUAL SYSTEM

ACTIVATION/

DEACTIVATION

To activate/deactivate the system

manually, press the

fig. 82 button on

the dashboard control trim.

LED off: system deactivated.

LED on: system deactivated.

WARNING

125) If the battery needs to be replaced,

always contact a Fiat Dealership. The

replacement battery should be of the same

type (HEAVY DUTY) and should have the

same characteristics.

126) Before opening the bonnet, make

sure that the engine is off and that the

ignition key is in the STOP position. Please

follow the instructions on the decal near

the front crossmember. We recommend

that you remove the key from the ignition if

other people remain in the vehicle. Exit

from the vehicle only after having removed

the ignition key or having rotated it to the

STOP position. During refuelling, make sure

that the engine is off and that the ignition

key is in the STOP position.

F1D0040

STARTING AND DRIVING

WARNING

44) If climate comfort is to be favoured, the

Stop/Start system can be disabled, for a

continuous operation of the climate control

system.

PARKING SENSORS

127) 45)

SENSORS

The sensors are located in the rear

bumper fig. 83 and their function is to

detect the presence of any obstacles

near the rear part of the vehicle and

inform the driver, through an

intermittent acoustic signal.

ACTIVATION/

DEACTIVATION

The sensors are automatically activated

when reverse is engaged. As the

obstacle behind the vehicle gets closer,

the acoustic signal becomes more

frequent.

F1D0045

OPERATION WITH A

TRAILER

Sensor operation is automatically

deactivated when the trailer's electric

cable plug is fitted in the vehicle's

tow hook socket. The sensors are

automatically reactivated when the

trailer's cable plug is removed.

IMPORTANT

INFORMATION

When parking, take the utmost care

over obstacles that may be above

or under the sensor.

Objects close to the vehicle are not

detected under certain circumstances

and could therefore cause damage

to the vehicle or be damaged.

The following conditions may influence

the performance of the parking

assistance system:

❒ the presence of ice, snow, mud or

multiple layers of paint on the surface of

the sensor may reduce its sensitivity

and the system performance;

❒ mechanical interference (e.g. washing

the vehicle, rain, strong wind, hail) may

cause the sensor to detect a

non-existent obstacle ("echo

interference");

❒ the presence of ultrasonic systems

(e.g. pneumatic brake systems of

trucks or pneumatic drills) near the

vehicle could alter the signals sent to

the sensor;

❒ the variation in sensor position,

caused by variation in ride (due

to suspension or shock absorber wear),

changing tyres, overloaded vehicle, or

tuning that lowers the vehicle, for

example, may affect parking sensor

system performance;

❒ the presence of a tow hook without

trailer interferes with the correct

operation of the parking sensors. If a

fixed tow hook is installed, the sensors

cannot be used. If the customer installs

a removable tow hook, this must

always be disconnected from

the crossmember whenever the trailer

is not attached to prevent the activation

of the sensors.

WARNING

127) The responsibility for parking and

other dangerous manoeuvres always and

in every case lies with the driver. While

carrying out these manoeuvres, always

make sure that no people (especially

children) or animals are in the area

concerned. The parking sensors are used

to assist the driver, who must never allow

his attention to lapse during potentially

dangerous manoeuvres, even those

executed at low speeds.

WARNING

45) The sensors must be clean of mud,

dirt, snow or ice in order for the system to

operate correctly. Be careful not to scratch

or damage the sensors while cleaning

them. Avoid using dry, rough or hard

cloths. The sensors must be washed using

clean water, with the addition of vehicle

shampoo if necessary. When using special

washing equipment such as high pressure

jets or steam cleaning, clean the sensors

very quickly keeping the jet more than

10 cm away.

MODE SELECTOR

(Panda Cross versions)

This device allows, using the ring nut of

the knob fig. 84 (on the central tunnel),

three vehicle response modes to be

selected according to driving style and

road conditions:

❒ 1 = AUTO mode;

❒ 2 = OFF ROAD mode;

❒ 3 = HDC function.

The ring nut is monostable type. In

other words, it always remains in a

central position. The selected driving

mode is indicated by the corresponding

LED switching on the knob and by an

indication on the display.

F1D0116

STARTING AND DRIVING

"AUTO" MODE

It is a driving mode aimed at comfort

and safety in normal grip and driving

conditions.

"OFF ROAD" MODE

It is a driving mode aimed at setting off

in poor grip conditions on low-grip

road surfaces (e.g. snow, ice, mid, etc.).

Engagement

Rotate the ring nut fig. 84 to the right

and hold in this position for half a

second, until the corresponding LED

lights up and “Off Road” mode

activation indicator appears on the

display with a dedicated message.

When the "Off Road" mode is activated,

the presetting for ELD system

intervention activates automatically.

IMPORTANT When the "Off Road"

mode is activated, the Stop/Start

system is temporarily disabled.

Temporary deactivation of the system

switches on the corresponding LED on

the trim (located on the central

dashboard). To activate the Stop/Start

function, with "Off Road" mode on,

press the

button on the dashboard

trim. However, when the "Off Road"

mode is deactivated, the Stop/Start

system is enabled again.

IMPORTANT When the "Off Road"

mode is activated, the City Brake

Control system is temporarily

deactivated. Temporarily deactivation of

the system results in the switching on

of the

warning light on the

instrument panel. When the "Off Road"

mode is deactivated, the City Brake

Control system is enabled again.

Disengagement

To deactivate the "Off Road" mode and

return to the "Auto" mode, rotate the

ring nut to the left and hold in this

position for half a second. In this case,

the LED corresponding to “Auto” mode

will light up and the “Off Road” mode

deactivation indication will appear

on the display.

IMPORTANT If “Off Road” or “Auto”

mode was active when the engine was

stopped, the next time it is started

the mode that was selected is

reactivated.

"HDC" FUNCTION

This driving function permits a constant

vehicle speed to be maintained

downhill.

Engagement/Disengagement

For engaging/disengaging the HDC

function refer to the "Active safety

systems" paragraph in the "Safety"

chapter.

FAILURE OF THE MODE

SELECTOR SYSTEM

IMPORTANT In the event of system

failure or a fault with knob, no driving

modes can be selected. The display will

show a dedicated message.

IMPORTANT In this case it is not

advisable trying to drive down roads

with a steep gradient, the system

cannot help the driver in any way.

TOWING TRAILERS

128) 129)

IMPORTANT

For towing motorhomes or trailers the

vehicle must be fitted with an approved

tow hook and an adequate electrical

system. Installation must be carried out

by a specialist.

Install any specific and/or additional

door mirrors as specified by the

Highway Code.

Remember that when towing a trailer,

steep hills are harder to climb, braking

distances increase and overtaking

takes longer depending on the overall

weight of the trailer.

Engage a low gear when driving

downhill, rather than constantly using

the brake.

The weight the trailer exerts on the

vehicle tow hook reduces the vehicle's

loading capacity by the same amount.

To make sure that the maximum

towable weight is not exceeded (given

in the vehicle registration document)

account should be taken of the fully

laden trailer, including accessories and

luggage.

Do not exceed the speed limits specific

to each country you are driving in, in

the case of vehicles towing trailers.

In any case, the top speed must not

exceed 100 km/h.

An electric brake (or electric winch)

should be supplied directly by the

battery through a cable with a cross

section of no less than 2.5 mm

In addition to the electrical branches,

the vehicle electrical system can only

be connected to the supply cable for an

electric brake and to the cable for an

internal light for the trailer, not

exceeding 15 W. For connections, use

the preset control unit with a battery

cable with section not less than 2.5

On Panda Cross and Panda 4x4

versions, in the event of prolonged

vehicle use at maximum tow capacity

on slopes, replacing engine oil more

frequently (every 10,000 km) is

advisable.

IMPORTANT The use of auxiliary loads

other than external lights (electric brake,

winch, etc.) must be used with engine

running.

IMPORTANT To install a tow hook

contact a Fiat Dealership.

WARNING

128) The ABS with which the vehicle is

equipped will not control the braking

system of the trailer. Particular caution is

required on slippery roads.

129) Never modify the braking system of

the vehicle to control the trailer brake.

The trailer braking system must be fully

independent of the vehicle’s hydraulic

system.

REFUELLING THE

VEHICLE

130) 131) 132)

Always stop the engine before

refuelling.

PETROL ENGINES

Use unleaded petrol only, with an

octane number (R.O.N.) no lower than

95. Never introduce even the smallest

amount of leaded petrol, even in the

event of an emergency, in order to

prevent damage to the catalytic

converter.

DIESEL ENGINES

Only use Diesel for motor vehicles (EN

590 specification).

When using or parking the car for a

long time in the mountains or cold

areas, it is advisable to refuel using

locally available diesel. In this case, it is

also advisable to keep the tank over

50% full.

100

STARTING AND DRIVING

Diesel and petrol versions

The refuelling procedure described

below is illustrated on the label B fig. 85

located inside the fuel flap. The label

also indicates the fuel type (UNLEADED

FUEL=petrol, DIESEL=diesel fuel).

To refuel proceed as follows:

❒ open the flap A fig. 85 pulling it

outwards;

❒ introduce the dispenser in the filler

and refuel;

❒ at the end of refuelling, before

removing the dispenser, wait for at least

10 seconds in order for the fuel to

flow inside the tank;

❒ then remove the dispenser from the

filler and close flap A.

Flap A fig. 85 is provided with a dust

cover gaiter C which prevents deposits

of impurities and dust at the end of

the filler when the flap is closed.

Emergency refuelling

Proceed as follows:

❒ open the luggage compartment and

take the adapter B fig. 86 located in the

tool box (versions equipped with

space-saver wheel - for versions/

markets, where provided) or in the

F1D0114

101

IMPORTANT Depending on the country,

there are various types of adapters for

LPG refuelling pumps. Filler adapter,

supplied with the vehicle and located in

a special case, is specifically designed

for the country in which the vehicle is

sold. If you are in a different country,

find out what type of adaptor is used

there.

Natural Power versions

47)

To access filler B fig. 89, open the flap

and undo cap A turning it

counterclockwise.

The profile of filler B for refilling is the

universal type, compatible with Italian

and NGV1 standards. In some

European countries adapters are

considered ILLEGAL (e.g. in Germany).

WARNING

130) Do not apply any object/cap to the

end of the filler which is not provided

for the vehicle. The use of non-compliant

objects/caps could cause a pressure

increase inside the tank, resulting in

dangerous situations.

F1D0115

F1D0110

131) Do not bring naked flames or lit

cigarettes near to the fuel tank opening: fire

risk. Keep your face away from the fuel

filler to prevent breathing in harmful

vapours.

132) Do not use a mobile phone near the

refuelling pump: risk of fire.

WARNING

46) The vehicle must only be filled with

diesel fuel for motor vehicles, in

compliance with European Standard EN

590. The use of other products or mixtures

may damage the engine beyond repair

and consequently invalidate the warranty,

due to the damage caused. If you

accidentally refuel with another type of fuel,

do not start the engine, and drain the

tank. If the engine has run, even for a very

short time, you will need to have the entire

fuel supply system emptied in addition to

the tank.

47) The other plates (provided with the

vehicle documents) show the date when

the first cylinder inspection/test is due.

Methane refuelling stations are not

authorised to refill the cylinders when the

inspection date has expired.

133) 134) 48) 49)

GENERAL

INSTRUCTIONS

❒ Before changing a bulb check the

contacts for oxidation;

❒ burnt bulbs must be replaced by

others of the same type and power;

❒ after replacing a headlight bulb,

always check its alignment;

❒ when a light is not working, check

that the corresponding fuse is intact

before changing a bulb. For the location

of fuses, refer to the paragraph “If a

fuse blows” in this section;

IMPORTANT When the weather is cold

or damp or after heavy rain or washing,

the surface of headlights or rear lights,

may steam up and/or form drops of

condensation on the inside. This is

a natural phenomenon due to the

difference in temperature and humidity

between the inside and the outside

of the glass which does not indicate a

fault and does not compromise the

normal operation of lighting devices.

The mist disappears quickly when the

lights are turned on, starting from

the centre of the diffuser, extending

progressively towards the edges.

compartment provided in the luggage

compartment;

❒ insert the jack and the other tools in

the container;

❒ arrange the container and tools on

the space-saver wheel;

❒ correctly reposition the boot mat.

WARNING

142) The space-saver wheel (for

versions/markets, where provided) is

specific to your vehicle, do not use it on

other models, or use the space-saver

wheel of other models on your vehicle. The

space-saver wheel must only be used in

the event of an emergency. It must only be

used for the distance necessary to reach

a service point and the vehicle speed must

not exceed 80 km/h. The space-saver

wheel has an orange label that

summarises the main cautions for use and

limitations. Never remove or cover the

label. The following information is provided

in four languages on the label: "Important!

For temporary use only! 80 km/h max!

Replace with a standard wheel as soon as

possible. Never cover this indication".

Never apply any hub cap to the

space-saver wheel.

143) Use your hazard lights, warning

triangle, etc to show that your vehicle is

stationary. Passengers should get out

of the vehicle, particularly if it is heavily

loaded, and wait for the wheel to be

changed away from the traffic. On hills or

uneven roads, use chocks or appropriate

objects to block the wheels of the vehicle.

144) The vehicle's driving characteristics

will be modified with the space-saver wheel

fitted. Avoid violent acceleration and

braking, abrupt steering and fast cornering.

The overall duration of the space-saver

wheel is about 3000 km, after which the

relevant tyre must be replaced with another

one of the same type. Never install a

traditional tyre on a rim designed to be

used as a space-saver wheel. Have the

wheel repaired and refitted as soon as

possible. Using two or more space-saver

wheels at the same time is forbidden.

Do not apply grease to the bolt threads

before fitting: they could come unscrewed.

145) The jack may be used to replace

wheels only on the vehicle that it comes

with, or other vehicles of the same model.

Never use the jack for other purposes,

such as lifting other vehicle models. Never

use it for repair operations under the

vehicle. Incorrect positioning of the jack

may cause the vehicle to fall. Do not use

the jack for loads higher than those shown

on the label. Never install snow chains

on the space-saver wheel; if a front tyre

(driving wheel) is punctured and you need

to use snow chains, use a standard wheel

from the rear axle and install the

space-saver wheel on the rear axle. In this

way, with two normal front drive wheels,

it is possible to use snow chains.

146) Incorrect hub cap assembly may

cause it to come off when the vehicle is

moving. Never tamper with the inflation

valve. Never introduce tools of any kind

between rim and tyre. Check tyre and

space-saver wheel pressures regularly,

complying with the values given in the

"Technical specifications" chapter.

IN AN EMERGENCY

WARNING

51) Contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as

possible to have the correct tightening

of the wheel bolts checked.

engine, plug into the power socket in

the central tunnel and operate the

compressor, turning switch A to

position I (on);

❒ inflate the tyre to the pressure

specified in the "Inflation pressure"

paragraph in the "Technical

specifications" section. Check tyre

pressure on gauge B with compressor

off to obtain a more precise reading;

❒ if after five minutes it is still impossible

to reach at least 1.8 bar, disengage

the compressor from the valve and

power socket, then move the vehicle

forwards by approx. ten metres in order

to distribute the sealing fluid inside the

tyre evenly, then repeat the inflation

operation;

❒ if after this operation you still cannot

reach at least 1.8 bar after 5 minutes

from switching on the compressor,

do not resume driving but contact a

Fiat Dealership;

❒ after driving for about 10 minutes

stop and check the tyre pressure again;

engage the handbrake and park

safely;

❒ if a pressure value of at least 1.8 bar

is detected, restore the correct

pressure (with the engine running and

the handbrake engaged), resume

driving and drive with great care to the

nearest Fiat Dealership.

WARNING

147) Give the instruction brochure to the

personnel charged with handling the

tyre treated with the quick tyre repair kit.

148) Punctures on the sides of the tyre

cannot be repaired. Do not use the quick

tyre repair kit if the tyre is damaged as

a result of driving with it deflated.

149) If the wheel rim has been damaged

(bent so as to cause air to leak), the wheel

cannot be repaired. Do not remove foreign

bodies (screws or nails) from the tyre.

150) Do not use the compressor for more

than 20 consecutive minutes. Risk of

overheating. Tyres repaired with the quick

tyre repair kit must only be used

temporarily, as the kit is not suitable for a

definitive repair.

IN AN EMERGENCY

151) The information required by current

regulations, regarding the chemical

substances for the protection of human

health and the environment and on the safe

use of the sealing fluid, are on the

packaging label. Compliance with the

indications on the label is an essential

condition to ensure the safety and

the effectiveness of the product.

Remember to carefully read the label

before use; the user of the product

is responsible for any damages caused by

improper use. The sealing fluid has an

expiry date. Replace the bottle if the

sealant has expired.

152) Put on the protective gloves provided

together with the quick tyre repair kit.

153) Apply the adhesive label where it can

be easily seen by the driver as a reminder

that the tyre has been treated with the

quick repair kit. Drive carefully, particularly

on bends. Do not exceed 80 km/h. Avoid

sudden acceleration or braking.

154) If the pressure has fallen below 1.8

bar, do not drive any further: the quick tyre

repair kit cannot guarantee the correct

hold because the tyre is too damaged.

Contact a Fiat Dealership.

155) Always indicate that the tyre was

repaired using the quick tyre repair kit. Give

the leaflet to the personnel charged with

handling the tyre treated with the tyre

repair kit.

WARNING

52) Punctures caused by foreign bodies

can be repaired if the damage does not

exceed 4 mm on the tread and on the

shoulder of the tyre.

WARNING

3) Dispose of the bottle and the sealant

properly. Have them disposed of in

compliance with national and local

regulations.

(N) (checking that the vehicle moves

when pushed) and proceed in the same

way as for towing a normal vehicle

with a manual gearbox. If the gearbox

cannot be put in neutral, do not tow the

vehicle and contact a Fiat Dealership.

Panda Cross and Panda 4x4

versions

The vehicle can only be towed in one of

the following ways (and always with

the engine off, gear set to neutral and

handbrake released):

❒ with all the wheels on the road

surface;

❒ with the front (or rear) wheels raised

or resting on an emergency vehicle and

the rear (or front) wheels resting on a

specific trolley;

❒ loaded on the flatbed of the rescue

vehicle with all the wheels on the

column will automatically lock when the

key is removed and the wheels cannot be

steered.

160) Before tightening the ring clean the

threaded housing thoroughly. Make sure

that the ring is fully fastened in the housing

before towing the vehicle.

161) Whilst towing, remember that as the

assistance of the brake servo and the

electric power steering is not available,

greater force needs to be exerted on the

brake pedal and more effort is required on

the steering wheel. Do not use flexible

cables when towing and avoid jerky

movements. While towing, make sure that

the trailer hitch does not damage any

components it is touching. When towing

the vehicle, you must comply with all

specific traffic regulations, both in terms of

the towing device and behaviour on the

road. Do not start the engine while towing

the vehicle.

162) The front and rear tow hooks should

be used only for emergencies on the road.

You are allowed to tow the vehicle for

short distances using an appropriate

device in accordance with the highway

code (a rigid bar), to move the vehicle on

the road in readiness for towing or

transporting via a breakdown vehicle. Tow

rings MUST NOT be used to tow vehicles

off the road or where there are obstacles

and/or for towing operations using cables

or other non-rigid devices. In compliance

with the above conditions, towing must

take place with the two vehicles (one

towing, the other towed) aligned as much

as possible along the same centre line.

163) Do not use tow hooks for securing the

vehicle on ships.

SCHEDULED

SERVICING

Correct servicing is crucial for

guaranteeing a long life for the vehicle

under the best conditions. For this

reason, Fiat has planned a series of

checks and services at fixed distance

intervals and, where provided, at fixed

time intervals, as described in the

Scheduled Servicing Plan.

Before each service, it is always

necessary to carefully follow the

instructions in the Scheduled Servicing

Plan (e.g. periodically check level of

fluids, tyre pressure, etc.).

Scheduled Servicing is offered by all

Fiat Dealerships according to a set time

schedule. If, during each operation, in

addition to the ones scheduled, the

need arises for further replacements or

repairs, these may be carried out with

your explicit agreement only. If your

vehicle is used frequently for towing,

the interval between one service

operation and the next should be

reduced.

IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing

interventions are set out by the

Manufacturer. Failure to have them

carried out may invalidate the warranty.

It is advisable to inform a Fiat

Dealership of any small operating

irregularities without waiting for the next

service.

PERIODIC CHECKS

Every 1,000 km or before long

journeys, check and if necessary, top

up: engine coolant level; brake fluid

level; screen washer fluid level; tyre

inflation pressure and condition; lighting

system operation (headlights, direction

indicators, hazard warning lights, etc.);

screen washer/wiper system operation

and positioning/wear of windscreen/

rear window wiper blades.

Every 3,000 km, check and top up if

required: engine oil level.

HEAVY-DUTY USE OF THE

VEHICLE

If the vehicle is used under one of the

following conditions: towing a trailer

or motorhome; dusty roads; short (less

than 7-8 km) and repeated journeys

with sub-zero outside temperatures;

engine often idling or driving long

distances at low speed or long periods

of inactivity, the following checks must

be carried out more often than

indicated in the Scheduled Servicing

Plan:

❒ check front disc brake pad condition

and wear;

❒ check cleanliness of bonnet and

luggage compartment locks,

cleanliness and lubrication of linkage;

❒ visually inspect conditions of: engine,

gearbox, transmission, pipes and

hoses (exhaust/fuel system/brakes) and

rubber elements (gaiters/sleeves/

bushes, etc.);

❒ check battery charge and battery

fluid level (electrolyte);

❒ visually inspect conditions of the

auxiliary drive belts;

❒ check and, if necessary, change

engine oil and replace oil filter / pollen

filter / air cleaner.

ENGINE OIL

56) 57) 4)

Check the oil level a few minutes (about

five) after the engine has stopped,

with the vehicle parked on level ground.

Check that the oil level is between the

MIN and MAX references on the

dipstick B. If the oil level is near or even

under the MIN mark, add oil using the

filler A to reach the MAX mark.

NOTE For the 0.9 TwinAir and 0.9

TwinAir Turbo versions, engine oil

dipstick B is integral with the cap A.

Take out the engine oil dipstick A, clean

it with a lint-free cloth and reinsert it.

Extract it again and check that the level

is between the MIN and MAX marks

on the dipstick.

Engine oil consumption

The maximum engine oil consumption

is usually 400 grams every 1000 km.

During the initial period of use the

engine oil consumption conditions

should be considered as having

stabilised after the first 5000 - 6000

km.

IMPORTANT After adding or changing

the oil, let the engine run for a few

seconds and wait a few minutes after

switching it off before checking the

level.

ENGINE COOLANT

166) 58)

The coolant level must be checked

when the engine is cold and must

range between the MIN and MAX

marks on the reservoir.

If the level is too low, unscrew reservoir

cap C and add the fluid described in

the "Technical Specifications" section.

WINDSCREEN/REAR

170) 171) 172) 173)

60) 6)

Battery F does not require topping up

the electrolyte with distilled water. A

periodic check carried out at a Fiat

Dealership is, however, necessary to

check efficiency.

IMPORTANT After the battery is

disconnected, the steering must be

initialised. The

warning light on the

instrument panel switches on to

indicate this. To carry out this

procedure turn the steering wheel all

the way from one end to the other

or drive in a straight line for about a

hundred metres.

IMPORTANT If the charge level remains

under 50% for a long time, the battery

is damaged by sulphation, reducing

its capacity and efficiency at start-up.

CLIMATE CONTROL

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

In winter, the climate control system

must be turned on at least once a

month for about 10 minutes. Before

summer, have the system checked at a

Fiat Dealership.

135

WARNING

164) Never smoke when performing

operations in the engine compartment.

Flammable gases and fumes may be

present and risk igniting.

165) Be very careful when working in the

engine compartment when the engine

is hot: you may get burnt.

166) The cooling system is pressurised. If

necessary, only replace the cap with

another original one or the operation of the

system may be adversely affected. Do

not remove the reservoir cap when the

engine is hot: risk of burns.

167) Do not travel with the washer fluid

reservoir empty: the washer operation

is essential for improving visibility. Some

commercial windscreen washer additives

are flammable. The engine compartment

contains hot components which may set it

on fire.

168) Brake fluid is poisonous and highly

corrosive. In the event of accidental

contact, immediately wash the affected

parts with water and mild soap. Then rinse

thoroughly. Call a doctor immediately if

swallowed.

169) The

symbol on the container

indicates a synthetic brake fluid, which is

different from a mineral fluid. Using a

mineral fluid will damage the special rubber

seals of the braking system beyond repair.

170) Battery fluid 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.

171) Using the battery with insufficient

fluid irreparably damages the battery and

may cause an explosion.

172) If the vehicle is left for long periods in

very cold environments, remove the battery

and store it in a warm place to prevent

freezing.

173) Always wear the proper protective

eyewear when working on the battery

or near it.

WARNING

55) Be careful not to confuse the various

types of fluids while topping up: they

are not compatible with each other!

Topping up with an unsuitable fluid could

severely damage your vehicle.

56) The oil level should never exceed the

MAX mark.

57) Do not add oil with specifications other

than those of the oil already in the engine.

58) PARAFLU

anti-freeze is used in

the engine cooling system. Use the same

fluid as in the cooling system when topping

up. PARAFLU

cannot be mixed with

any other type of fluid. If this happens, do

not start the engine and contact a Fiat

Dealership.

59) Avoid allowing brake fluid, which is

extremely corrosive, to come into contact

with painted areas. Should it happen, wash

immediately with water.

60) Incorrect assembly of electrical and

electronic accessories may cause severe

damage to your vehicle. After purchasing

your vehicle, if you wish to install any

accessories (anti-theft, phone, etc.),

contact a Fiat Dealership, which

will suggest the most appropriate devices

for your vehicle, and will, most importantly,

advise you if a higher capacity battery

needs to be installed.

WARNING

4) Used engine oil and oil filters contain

substances which are harmful to the

environment. To change the oil and filters,

we advise you to contact a Fiat Dealership.

5) Used transmission fluid contains

substances that are harmful to the

environment. It is advisable to have the oil

changed by a Fiat Dealership where it

will be disposed of respecting the

environment and according to legal

requirements.

6) Batteries contain substances which are

very dangerous for the environment. For

battery replacement, contact a Fiat

Dealership.

WARNING

61) Do not operate the windscreen wiper

with the blades lifted from the windscreen.

LIFTING THE

VEHICLE

177)

If the vehicle needs to be jacked up, go

to a Fiat Dealership which is equipped

with workshop jacks and jack arms

fig. 126.

WARNING

177) Lift the vehicle exclusively by

positioning the jack arms or the workshop

jack in the points illustrated.

WHEELS AND TYRES

178)

62) 63) 64) 65)

SUGGESTIONS ABOUT

THE ROTATION OF THE

TYRES

The front and rear tyres are subject to

different loads and stress due to

steering, manoeuvres and braking. For

this reason they are subject to uneven

wear.

To resolve this problem, tyres should be

rotated at the appropriate time. This

operation is recommended for tyres

with a deep tread pattern, suitable both

for on-road and off-road driving.

Tyre rotation contributes to the

preservation of the grip and traction

performance on wet, muddy or snowy

roads, guaranteeing optimal driveability

of the vehicle.

In the case of irregular wear of the

tyres, the reason must be identified and

corrected before rotating them.

126

F1D0135

139

179)

WARNING

178) Do not cross switch the tyres if they

are the "unidirectional" type. In this case,

always take care not to fit the tyres with

a direction of rotation that is opposite

to that indicated: you would risk losing grip

and control of the vehicle.

179) Travelling with partially or completely

deflated tyres can cause safety problems

and irremediably damage the tyre.

WARNING

62) Road holding depends also on the

correct tyre inflating pressure.

63) If the pressure is too low the tyre

overheats and this can cause it serious

damage.

64) Do not cross switch the tyres, moving

them from the right of the vehicle to the left

and vice versa.

65) Never submit alloy rims to repainting

treatments requiring the use of

temperatures exceeding 150°C. The

mechanical properties of the wheels could

be impaired.

Note For Panda Cross and Panda 4x4 versions if the space-saver wheel is used, the control unit for 4x4 drive detects its

presence (via the wheel speed signals) and reduces the intervention of the four-wheel drive to a minimum, while guaranteeing

the agility of the vehicle. No fault/alarm signal is displayed on the instrument panel or on the display.

COLD TYRE INFLATION PRESSURE (bar)

When the tyres are warm, add +0.3 bar to the pressure value prescribed. However, recheck that the value is correct with the

tyre cold. With snow tyres, add +0.2 bar to the pressure value prescribed for standard tyres.

2.1

SNOW CHAINS

183) 184) 185) 66)

Important

The use of snow chains should be in compliance with local regulations of each country. In certain countries, tyres marked with

code M+S (Mud and Snow) are considered as winter equipment; therefore their use is equivalent to that of the snow chains.

The snow chains may be applied only to the front wheel tyres.

Check the tension of the snow chains after the first few metres have been driven.

Using snow chains with tyres with non-original dimensions may damage the vehicle.

Using different size or type (M+S, snow, etc.) tyres between front and rear axle may adversely affect vehicle driveability, with the

risk of losing control of the vehicle and resulting accidents.

Snow chains cannot be fitted to the space-saver wheel (for versions/markets, where provided). If a front tyre is punctured,

replace a rear wheel with the space-saver wheel and move the rear wheel to the front axle. In this way, with two normal drive

wheels at the front, snow chains can be fitted.

154

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

WARNING

180) The maximum speed for snow tyres marked “Q” is 160 km/h, while it is 190 km/h for “T” tyres and 210 km/h for "H" tyres. The highway

code speed limits must however always be complied with.

181) 185/55 R15 82T tyres cannot be fitted with chains.

182) 175/65 R14 82T tyres can be fitted with reduced size snow chains: 9 mm.

183) 175/65 R15 84T tyres can be fitted with reduced size snow chains: 7 mm.

184) Keep your speed down when snow chains are fitted; do not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid potholes, steps and pavements and avoid driving

for long distances on roads not covered with snow to prevent damaging the vehicle and the road surface.

185) DO NOT fit wheel hub caps when using integral hub caps fixed (with springs) to the steel rim and after sale tyres provided with Rim

Protector. Use of unsuitable tyres and wheel caps may cause sudden loss of tyre pressure.

WARNING

66) When the snow chains are on, use the accelerator with extreme care to prevent, or to limit as much as possible, the driving wheels from

skidding. This could cause the chains to break, resulting in damage to the vehicle body or mechanical components.

DIMENSIONS

Dimensions are expressed in mm and refer to the vehicle equipped with its standard-supplied tyres. Height is measured with

vehicle unladen.

FUEL CONSUMPTION

The fuel consumption figures given in the tables below are determined on the basis of the type-approval tests laid down by

specific European Directives.

IMPORTANT The type of route, traffic conditions, weather conditions, driving style, general condition of the vehicle, trim

level/equipment/accessories, use of the climate control system, vehicle load, presence of roof racks and other situations that

adversely affect the aerodynamics or wind resistance lead to different fuel consumption values than those measured. The

fuel consumption will get more regular only after having driven the first 3000 km.

in terms of respecting environmental laws and in response to European Directive 2000/53/EC governing vehicles at the end of

their life, FCA is offering its customers the chance to hand over their vehicle at the end of its life without incurring any additional

costs. The European Directive sets out that when the vehicle is handed over, the last keeper or owner should not incur any

expenses as a result of it having a zero or negative market value.

To hand your vehicle over at the end of its life without extra cost, contact one of our dealerships if you are purchasing another

vehicle or an FCA-authorised collection and scrapping centre. These centres have been carefully chosen to offer high quality

service for the collection, treatment and recycling of vehicles at their end of life, respecting the surrounding environment.

You can find further information on these collection and scrapping centres either from an FCA dealership or by calling the

number in the Warranty Booklet or by consulting the websites of the various FCA brands.

RADIO

186) 187)

The radio has been designed according

to the specifications of the passenger

compartment, with a personalised

design matching the style of the

dashboard perfectly.

TIPS

Road safety

Please, learn how to use all different

radio functions (e.g. save stations)

before beginning to drive.

Care and maintenance

Clean the cover with a soft antistatic

cloth only. Cleaning and polishing

products may damage the surface.

ANTI-THEFT

PROTECTION

The radio is equipped with an anti-theft

protection system based on the

exchange of information between the

radio and the electronic control unit

(Body Computer) on the car.

This system guarantees maximum

safety and prevents the secret code

from being entered each time the radio

power supply is disconnected.

If the check has a positive outcome, the

radio will start to function, whereas if

the comparison codes are not the

same or if the electronic control unit

(Body Computer) is replaced, the

device will ask the user to enter the

secret code according to the procedure

described in the paragraph below.

Entering the secret code

When the radio is switched on, if the

code is requested, the display will show

"Radio code" for about 2 seconds

followed by four dashes "----".

The code is made up of four numbers

from 1 to 6, each corresponding to one

of the dashes.

To enter the first digit of the code, press

the corresponding button of the

pre-selected stations (from 1 to 6).

Enter the other code digits in the same

way.

If the four digits are not entered within

20 seconds, the display will show

"Enter code----".Ifthis occurs, it is

not considered an incorrect code entry.

After entering the fourth digit (within

20 seconds), the car radio will start to

work.

If an incorrect code is entered, the radio

will emit a sound and the display

shows the text "Radio blocked/wait" to

notify the user of the need to enter

the correct code.

Each time the user enters an incorrect

code, the waiting time will gradually

increase (1 min, 2 min, 4 min, 8 min, 16

min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 8 h, 16 h,

24 h) up to a maximum of 24 hours.

The waiting time will be shown on the

display with the text "Radio blocked/

wait". After the text has disappeared it

is possible to start the code entering

procedure again.

Car radio passport

This document certifies the ownership

of the car radio. The car radio passport

shows the radio model, serial number

and secret code.

IMPORTANT Keep the radio passport in

a safe place so that you can give the

information to the relevant authorities if

the radio is stolen.

In the case of loss of the vehicle radio

passport, contact the Fiat Dealership,

taking an ID document and the vehicle

ownership documents.

HANDS-FREE FUNCTION

QUICK GUIDE

To start using the hands-free function

with voice recognition and Bluetooth®

technology provided by Blue&Me™:

❒ Make sure that the ignition key is

turned to MAR

❒ Practise the voice commands

❒ Register your mobile phone

❒ Make a call.

Preparing your mobile phone

phonebook

Before pairing your mobile phone with

Blue&Me™, you must make sure

you have stored the names you want to

contact in the phonebook on your

mobile phone so that you can call them

using the car's hands-free system.

If your phonebook does not contain any

names, enter new names for the most

frequently used numbers. For further

details, consult your mobile phone

manual.

IMPORTANT

❒ Access to the phonebook copied to

Blue&Me™ is possible only when

the mobile phone from which it was

copied is connected.

❒ Entries stored in the SIM card or

mobile phone memory can be

transferred to Blue&Me™ with different

procedures, depending on your mobile

phone model.

Getting to know the voice

commands

When talking to the system, you can

always use the voice command "Help",

to obtain detailed instructions on the

voice commands available for each

stage of interaction.

To practise the "Help" command

proceed as follows:

❒ Press the

control on the steering

wheel.

❒ After Blue&Me™ has given an

acoustic signal to indicate that voice

recognition is active, say "Help".

Blue&Me™ will give the list of voice

commands available.

❒ At the end of the help message, say

"Settings" and, at the end of the

message, "Help". Blue&Me™ will give

the list of voice commands available

for the Settings menu.

❒ You can now give one of the available

commands and proceed with the

dialogue as you wish.

❒ If you need further help press

and

say "Help".

Pairing your mobile phone

IMPORTANT This operation should be

carried out only with the vehicle

stationary.

To pair your mobile phone, proceed as

follows:

❒ Press

and say "Settings" and

then, at the end of the message from

Blue&Me™, say "User pairing".

❒ The system will show a code number

(PIN) on the instrument panel display,

which is used for the pairing procedure.

For the two subsequent stages,

consult your mobile phone manual.

❒ Look for devices with Bluetooth®

technology on your mobile phone (the

setting on your mobile phone could

be called Search or New Device). Find

“Blue&Me” in this list (the name that

identifies the Blue&Me ™ system

in your vehicle) and select it.

❒ When prompted, enter the PIN code

displayed on the instrument panel

using your mobile phone keypad. If

pairing is successful, the system will

say "Connecting" and at the end the

display will show, as confirmation,

details of the mobile phone paired.

185

It is important to wait for this

confirmation message; if you press the

right

/ wheel before it appears,

you risk cancelling the pairing process.

If the registration fails, an error message

will appear; in this case, you will need

to repeat the procedure.

❒ After pairing your mobile phone, the

first time you connect, Blue&Me™

will say "Welcome". This message will

no longer be heard at subsequent

pairing or connecting procedures.

❒ Blue&Me™ asks you if you want to

copy the phonebook of the mobile

phone just paired onto the Blue&Me™

system. You are advised to copy it. To

proceed with copying, say "Yes"; if you

do not want to copy the phonebook,

say "No".

❒ On some mobile phones, the names

in the phonebook are not copied

automatically, but have to be

transferred by using the mobile phone

keypad. If Blue&Me™ asks you, carry

out this procedure by following the

specific instructions on your mobile

phone and press the right SRC/OK

wheel when you have finished.

Making a phone call

Imagine that "John" is one of the

names saved in your phonebook.

To call John, proceed as follows:

❒ Press the

control on the steering

wheel and say "Call John".

❒ If the system recognises the name

John, the relevant information will

be shown on the display.

If your phonebook has only one number

stored for John, the system will ask

you directly if you want to call him. To

make the call, say "Yes"; otherwise, say

"No".

If, on the other hand, there are several

phone numbers for John, the system

will ask which one you wish to call

(for example, "Call John work

or home?"). Respond by indicating

which number you want to call (for

example, "Home").

If John has several phone numbers but

the type of phone number is missing,

the system will display the selected

contact and a list of related phone

numbers. The hands-free system will

ask if you would like to call the phone

number displayed. If the number

displayed is the one you wish to call,

say "Yes"; otherwise, say “No". If

the person to contact is the correct

one, but the number is wrong, say

"Forward"or"Back" to see the other

phone numbers for this person.

To call the number displayed, say

"Call". You can also navigate through

this list manually by turning the right

/ wheel until you find the desired

number. At this point, press

to make

the call.

❒ To end the call, press

SMS MESSAGE READER

QUICK GUIDE

(only for phones which support this

function)

this function, when a new SMS mes-

sage is received Blue&Me™ will notify

you through an acoustic signal and ask

you if you want to read it.

❒ Say "Yes" or press the right SRC/OK

wheel, and the system will read the

last message received.

186

MULTIMEDIA

❒ Say "No" or press the right /

playback may depend on the type

of device, its capacity and its contents.

❒ After Blue&Me™ has created a

library of your digital audio files, you can

select and listen to tracks, albums,

artists and playlists, using manual or

vocal interaction with Blue&Me™.

Creating the library may require a few

minutes if your USB device contains

many files.

❒ You can also decide whether to play

audio files automatically when the

USB/iPod device is connected or to

play them only on your command.

WARNING

188) Using some of the system functions

whilst driving can distract attention away

from the road, risking an accident or other

serious consequences; they should

therefore be used only when driving

conditions allow it and, if necessary, only

with the vehicle stationary.

187

189) IMPORTANT: looking at the system

when driving can divert attention from

the road, with the risk of accidents or other

serious consequences. Do not change

system settings or enter data non-verbally

(using the manual controls) while driving.

Stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner

before carrying out these operations. This

is important since while setting up or

changing some functions your attention

may be distracted from the road and you

may have to remove your hands from

the wheel.

190) Voice commands: the system

functions can be carried out using only

voice commands. The use of voice control

commands when driving allows the system

to be managed without taking your hands

off the steering wheel.

191) Looking at the display for a long time:

while driving, do not use any function that

requires looking at the display for a long

time. Pull over in a safe and legal manner

before attempting to access a function

of the system that requires prolonged

attention. Even occasional short glances at

the display may be hazardous if your

attention is diverted from driving at a critical

moment.

192) Setting the volume: do not turn the

volume up too high. Keep the volume at a

level where you can still hear outside traffic

and emergency signals while driving.

Driving without being able to hear these

sounds can cause accidents.

193) Using the voice recognition: the voice

recognition software is based on a

statistical process that is subject to error. It

is your responsibility to monitor the

system's voice recognition functions and to

correct any errors.

194) Danger of distraction: the functions

may require manual settings (not using

voice commands). Performing these

settings or entering data when driving can

distract you significantly, causing accidents

or having other serious consequences.

Stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner

before attempting these operations.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

WARNING

INTERIOR FITTINGS

❒ Never travel with the glove compartment open: it could injure the passenger in the event of a crash.

❒ The cigar lighter gets very hot. Handle it carefully and make sure that children do not touch it: risk of fire and/or burns. Always check that

the cigar lighter plug has been released.

ROOF RACK/SKI RACK

❒ After travelling for a short distance, check that the fixing screws for the attachments are correctly tightened.

❒ Never exceed the maximum permitted loads (see chapter "Technical specifications").

❒ Evenly distribute the load and take into account, when driving, the increased responsiveness of the vehicle to side wind.

WIRING FOR RADIO SYSTEM

❒ If you wish to have a sound system installed after purchasing the vehicle, first contact a Fiat Dealership whose qualified personnel will give

you advise about a sound system that does not damage the battery charge. Excessive nonrunning consumption damages the battery and

may cause your battery warranty to be terminated.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

❒ During normal service, the catalytic converter and the diesel particulate filter (DPF) reach high temperatures. Do not therefore park the

vehicle over inflammable materials (grass, dry leaves, pine needles, etc.): fire hazard.

INTERIORS

❒ Never use flammable products, such as petrol ether or rectified petrol to clean the inside of the vehicle. The electrostatic charges which are

generated by rubbing during the cleaning operation may cause a fire.

❒ Do not keep aerosol cans in the vehicle: they might explode. Aerosol cans must not be exposed to a temperature exceeding 50°C. When

the vehicle is exposed to sunlight, the internal temperature can greatly exceed this value.

POWER SUPPLY

❒ Modifications or repairs to the supply system that are not carried out correctly or do not take the system technical specifications into

account can cause malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.

LOADING ADVICE (Panda VAN versions)

❒ Abrupt braking or occasional impacts may cause sudden movements of the load with consequent situations of hazard for the driver and

passengers: before setting off, secure the load tightly using the partition and, where provided, the appropriate hooks. For securing use

cables, ropes or belts strong enough to hold the items to be secured.

192

WARNING

ROOF RACK/SKI RACK

❒ Fully comply with the regulations in force concerning maximum clearance.

WIRING FOR RADIO SYSTEM

❒ For connection to the radio system set-up, contact a Fiat Dealership to prevent any problem that could impair vehicle safety.

BODYWORK

❒ In order to preserve the aesthetic appearance of the paint abrasive products and/or polishes should not be used for cleaning the vehicle.

❒ Avoid washing with rollers and/or brushes in washing stations. Wash the vehicle only by hand using neutral pH detergents; dry it with a wet

chamois leather. Abrasive products and/or polishes should not be used for cleaning the vehicle. Bird droppings must be washed off

immediately and thoroughly as the acid they contain is particularly aggressive. Avoid (if at all possible) parking the vehicle under trees; remove

vegetable resins immediately as, when dried, it may only be possible to remove them with abrasive products and/or polishes, which is highly

inadvisable as they could alter the typical opaqueness of the paint. Do not use pure screen washer fluid for cleaning the windscreen and

rear window; dilute it min. 50% with water. Only use pure screen washer fluid when strictly necessary due to outside temperature conditions.

INTERIORS

❒ Never use alcohol, petrols and derivatives to clean the dashboard and instrument panel lens.

WARNING

BODYWORK

❒ Detergents pollute the environment. Only wash your vehicle in areas equipped to collect and treat wastewater from this type of activity.
