REV COUNTER fig. 5
The indicator B shows the engine rev number.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection control system gradually shuts off the flow of fuel when the engine is “over-revving” resulting in a gradual loss of engine pow­er.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter may indicate a gradual or sudden higher­ing of the speed.
This is normal as it takes place during reg­ular operation, for example when activat­ing the climate control system or the fan. In particular a slow change in the speed preserves the battery charge.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE fig. 6
This shows the temperature of the engine coolant fluid and begins working when the fluid temperature exceeds approx. 50°C.
Under normal conditions, the needle should hover around the middle of the scale according to the working conditions.
C Low engine coolant temperature.
H High engine coolant temperature.
The turning on of the warning light B (on certain versions with a message on the re­configurable multifunction display) indi­cates that the coolant fluid temperature is too high; in this case, stop the engine and contact a Fiat Dealership.
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE fig. 6
This shows the amount of fuel left in the fuel tank.
E tank empty.
F full tank.
The reserve warning light A turns on to indicate that approximately 5 litres of fu­el are left in the tank.
Do not travel with the fuel tank almost empty: the gaps in fuel delivery could dam­age the catalyst.
IMPORTANT The needle sets to E with warning light A flashing to indicate that the system is failing. In this event contact Fiat Dealership to have the system checked.

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

SPORT FUNCTION
The Fiat Panda 100HP version is fitted with a system enabling to choose between two driving modes: normal and sports.
Press the SPORT button A-fig. 7 for sports driving characterized in prompt and quick acceleration and higher effort on steering wheel for proper driving feeling.
When this function is on, the word SPORT on the instrument panel is turned on. Press the SPORT button again to de­activate this function and resume the nor­mal driving mode.
IMPORTANT This function turns on about 5 seconds after pressing the SPORT button.
IMPORTANT With the SPORT function on, when accelerating you may feel the typical pick-up jerks of sports driving set­ting.

USING THE MANUAL GEARBOX
To engage the gears, press the clutch ped­al fully and shift the gear lever into one of the required positions (the diagram is shown on the knob fig. 8).
To engage the 6
th
gear, operate the gear lever pressing it rightwards to prevent en­gaging the 4thgear by mistake. Do the same for shifting from 6thto 5thgear.
IMPORTANT The car can only be put in­to reverse gear when it has stopped mov­ing completely. With the engine running, before engaging the reverse, wait at least 2 seconds with the clutch pedal fully down to prevent damage and grating of the gears.
To engage reverse R from neutral, lift the sliding ring A under the knob and shift the lever to the right and back.

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 on the gearbox inter­nal components.
To change gears properly
you must push the clutch pedal fully down. 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.
