ADVENTURE

This supplement illustrates the main fea­tures of the Fiat Panda Adventure, in ad­dition to providing some advice for use.

Owner Handbook in which this Supple­ment is enclosed.

TRANSMISSION
FIAT PANDA ADVENTURE

Fiat Panda Adventure is equipped
with a 4 x 4 transmission system
comprising two differentials and an
electronically controlled joint

Thanks to this system, the insertion
of the four wheel drive takes place
automatically (i.e. without requiring
any action by the driver) and allows
for optimal distribution of drive
torque between front and rear axis,
in conditions of low adherence.

Fiat Panda Adventure runs easily
over snow, ice, mud and unmade
roads, even where slopes are fairly
steep.

ABS SYSTEM

The ABS system with this version is sup­plied as standard, and consists of:

❒

EBD (Electronic Braking force Distrib­ution), which distributes the braking ac­tion between front and rear wheels;

❒

MSR (Motor Schleppmomenten
Regelung - Regulation of engine braking
torque), that intervenes in the event of
sudden changes of gear whilst driving
(avoiding wheel blockage when decel­erating, upon releasing the accelerator),
giving torque back to the engine, there­by avoiding excessive drag of the dri­ving wheels that, particularly in poor
grip conditions, can lead to a loss of ve­hicle stability.

REPLACING A WHEEL

General instructions

The vehicle is originally supplied with a
spare wheel of the same size as those fit­ted (space-saver spare wheel for ver­sions/markets, where provided).

Wheel changing and correct use of the jack
and spare wheel (space-saver spare wheel
for versions/markets, where provided) call
for some precautions reported in the Use
and Maintenance manual to which this sup­plement is attached.

To change a wheel proceed as follows:

❒

stop the car in a position so that it is
not a danger for on-coming traffic and
where you can replace the wheel safe­ly. The ground must be flat and com­pact;

❒

Turn the engine off and pull up the
handbrake.

❒

Engage first gear or reverse;

❒

warn anybody nearby that the car is
about to be lifted. They must stay clear
and not touch the car until it is back
on the ground;

❒

fit the handle H-fig. 6into the jack de­vice I and lift the car until the wheel to
be changed is several centimetres off
the ground; Turn the crank, take care
that rotation takes place freely, with no
risk of grazing hands due to friction
with the ground. The moving parts of
the jack (screws and joints) can also
cause injury: do not touch them. If you
come into contact with lubricating
grease, clean yourself thoroughly;

❒

remove the hub cab, fully unscrew the
bolts L-fig. 7 and remove the wheel;
