This Owner Handbook describes all the versions of the Fiat Panda. As a consequence, you should only consider the information which is related to the trim level, engine and version that you have purchased. All data contained in this publication are purely indicative. Fiat Group Automobiles can modify the specifications of the vehicle model described in this publication at any time, for

technical or commercial reasons. For further information, contact a Fiat Dealership.

ESSENTIAL INFORMATION!

REFUELLING

Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol

with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in compliance with the European specification EN228.

The use of petrol that does not conform to the above-mentioned specification will cause the EOBD warning light to switch on and the irregular operation of the engine.

Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel for motor vehicles in compliance with the European specification EN590. The use of other products or mixtures may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty.

STARTING THE ENGINE

Make sure that the handbrake is engaged; place the gear lever in neutral. Fully depress the clutch pedal, without pressing the accelerator, then turn the ignition key to MAR-ON and wait for the

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

PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL

RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

The car is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the components related to emissions to ensure increased respect for the environment.

ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES

If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), contact a Fiat Dealership. They will calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the car’s electrical system can support the required load.

SCHEDULED SERVICING

Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring that it maintains its performance and its safety features, its environmental friendliness and low running costs for a long time to come.

THE OWNER MANUAL CONTAINS…

… important information, advice and warnings for correct use, driving safety and maintenance of your car over time. Special attention must be paid to the symbols provided (personal safety)

(environmental protection) (car integrity).

The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the car on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other flammable material: fire hazard.

IMPORTANT The range value variation can be affected by several factors: driving style, type of route (motorway, urban, mountain roads, etc.), conditions of use (load, tyre pressures, etc.). Trip planning must therefore take the above into account.

Distance covered

Some car components have coloured labels whose symbols indicate precautions to be observed when using this component. Under the bonnet there is also a label that summarises all the symbols.

THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM

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

Each key contains an electronic device which modulates the signal emitted during ignition by an antenna built into the ignition device. The signal is the "password", different every time the car is started, through which the control unit recognises the key and enables starting.

OPERATION

Each time the vehicle is started turning the ignition key to MAR-ON, the Fiat CODE system control unit sends an acknowledgement code to the engine control unit 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 engine management control unit. If, during starting, the code is not correctly recognised, the light switches on in the instrument panel. In this case, turn the key to STOP and then to MAR-ON; 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.
