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. LPG engines: refuel only with LPG for motor vehicles conforming to the European specification EN589. 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 car 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 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.

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.

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;

KNOWING YOUR CAR

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.

F1D0006

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.

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.

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 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.
