OWNER HANDBOOK
Dear Customer,
We would like to congratulate and thank you for choosing a Fiat Panda. We have written this handbook to help you get to know all the features of your vehicle and use it in the best possible way. Here you will find information, advice and important warnings regarding use of your vehicle and how to achieve the best
performance from the technical features of your Fiat Panda. You are advised to read it right through before taking to the road for the first time, to become familiar with the controls and
above all with those concerning brakes, steering and gearbox; at the same time, you can understand the vehicle behaviour on different road surfaces.
This document also provides a description of special features and tips, as well as essential information for the safe driving, care and maintenance of your Fiat Panda over time.
After reading it, you are advised to keep the handbook inside the vehicle, for an easy reference and for making sure it remains on board the vehicle should it be sold.
In the attached Warranty Booklet you will also find a description of the Services that Fiat offers to its customers, the Warranty Certificate and the detail of the terms and conditions for maintaining its validity.
We are sure that these will help you to get in touch with and appreciate your new vehicle and the service provided by the people at Fiat.
Enjoy reading. Happy motoring! 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. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles can modify the vehicle model described in 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
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.

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.
SYMBOLS
Some vehicle components have coloured labels whose symbols indicate precautions to be observed when using this component.
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.
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 seated comfortably on board, so that you can see immediately what is described here for yourself.

A - Manual air distribution selection. By pressing the buttons, one of the five possible air flow distribution patterns can be selected:
air outlet from the windscreen and front side window vents to demist or defrost them.
air outlet from the dashboard central and side vents to ventilate the chest and the face.
air outlet from footwell vents. Due to the natural tendency of heat to spread upwards, this type of distribution warms the passenger compartment up as quickly as possible.
+
air outlet from the footwell vents (warmest air) and the dashboard vents (coolest air).
+
air outlet from footwell, windscreen and front side window vents. This type of distribution achieves effective heating of the passenger compartment and prevents the windows from misting up.

B - Activation/deactivation of the MAX-DEF function (fast front window defrosting/demisting). C - Climate control system compressor activation/deactivation. D - Internal air recirculation activation/deactivation button. E - Climate control on/off. F - Heated rear window and (for versions/markets, where provided) heated mirrors/heated windscreen activation/deactivation. G/M - Fan speed adjustment. H - AUTO function activation (climate control system automatic operation). I/L - Adjustment of temperature inside the passenger compartment. The automatic climate control manages the Stop/Start function (engine off when the vehicle speed is zero) to guarantee adequate comfort inside the passenger compartment. NOTE In particularly severe climate conditions it is recommended to limit the use of the Stop/Start function to prevent the compressor from continuously switching on and off, with consequent rapid misting of the windows and accumulation of humidity with unpleasant smells in the passenger compartment.
WARNING
18) It is advisable not to use the air recirculation function when the outside temperature is low, because the windows could rapidly steam up.
WARNING
2) The system uses R134a coolant which does not pollute the environment in the event of accidental leakage. Never use R12 fluid, which is
not compatible with the system components.

may be dangerous. Before and during operation, always check that nobody is exposed to the risk of being injured either directly by the moving window or through objects getting caught or by being hit.
20) When leaving the vehicle, always remove the ignition key to avoid the risk of injury of people still on board due to accidental operation of the electric windows.
ELECTRIC SUN ROOF
(for versions/markets, where provided)
21) 8)
The large electric sun roof comprises two glass panels; the front one is mobile and the rear one fixed. These are equipped with two sun blinds (front and rear) that can be moved manually. With the sun roof closed, the blinds can be placed in any position. To open the blinds, grip handle A fig. 26, following the direction indicated by the arrow until the desired position is reached. To close them, carry out the procedure in reverse. The sun roof can be operated only with the ignition key turned to MAR.
Opening
Press and hold down button C fig. 26. The front glass panel will move into the spoiler position. After opening in spoiler position, press button C fig. 26 for more than half a second to bring the roof automatically to fully open position. The automatic roof movement can be stopped in any position by pressing button B or C again.

Closing
Press button B fig. 26 from the fully open position for more than half a second to automatically move the sun roof to spoiler position. From the spoiler position, press button B again to reach the fully closed position.
ANTI-PINCH DEVICE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The sunroof has an anti-pinch safety system capable of detecting the presence of an obstacle whilst the roof is closing; when this happens, the system stops and the movement of the glass is immediately reversed.
EMERGENCY OPERATION
If the electrical device for moving the roof fails, the sun roof can be moved manually proceeding as described below:
❒ for manual activation remove the protective cap A fig. 27 from its housing which is located on the internal covering in front of the sun blind;
❒ take the Allen key provided and located in the tool box in the luggage compartment or, depending on the version, inside the glove compartment;
❒ insert the key provided into the housing A fig. 27 and turn it clockwise to open the roof or anticlockwise to close the roof.

INITIALISATION PROCEDURE
Following an automatic movement malfunction while opening/closing or after an emergency manoeuvre (see description in the previous paragraph), the automatic operation of the sun roof must be initialised again. Proceed as follows:
❒ press button B fig. 26 in closing position;
❒ hold down button B: after approximately 10 seconds the roof moves jerkily to closing position. Once the operation has ended (roof closed) release button B;
❒ turn the ignition key to STOP and keep it there for 10 seconds;
❒ turn the ignition key to the MAR position;
❒ Press button B in closed position;
27
❒ hold down button B until the roof is completely closed: the initialisation procedure has ended;
❒ press button B again within 3 seconds from the conclusion of the initialisation procedure;
❒ hold down button B: the roof will perform an automatic opening and closing cycle: should this not occur, repeat the operation from the beginning;
❒ keeping button B held down, wait until the roof is completely closed.
WARNING
21) When leaving the vehicle, always
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
remove the key from the ignition to avoid the risk of injury due to accidental operation of the sun roof. Improper use of the roof can be dangerous. Before and during operation, always check that nobody is at risk of being injured by the moving sun roof or by objects getting caught or hit by it.
WARNING
8) Do not open the sunroof if snow or ice is
over it: you may damage it. In vehicles with sun roof no roof rack can be fitted.
DUALDRIVE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING
22) 23)
This only operates with the key turned to MAR and the engine started. The steering allows the force required at the steering wheel to be adjusted to suit driving conditions.
IMPORTANT When turning the ignition key quickly, full power steering functionality can be achieved after a few seconds.
CITY FUNCTION ACTIVATION/ DEACTIVATION
Press the CITY fig. 28 button to activate/deactivate the function. The activation of the function is signalled by the word CITY on the display (in some versions it is signalled by the word CITY appearing on the instrument panel). When the CITY function is on, the steering wheel effort is lighter, making parking easier: therefore, this function is particularly useful for driving in city centres.
28
F1D0025
IMPORTANT During parking manoeuvres requiring a lot of steering, the steering may become harder; this is normal and is due to the intervention of the system to protect the electric steering motor from overheating so no intervention is required. When the vehicle is used again later on, the power steering will work normally.
WARNING
22) 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.
