2003 FIAT PALIO India Version Owners Manual

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Motor and engineering enthusiasts as well as
those “in the trade” will probably start reading from
this point in the handbook. This, in fact, is where a
section jam-packed with facts, figures, formulae,
measurements and tables begins.
In a sense, it is Fiat Palio’s identity card. A docu-
ment that introduces the car and explains in techni-
cal jargon all the features that go together to make it
a model designed to give you superlative driving sat-
isfaction.CAR IDENTIFICATION DATA ........................... PAGE 129

FUEL SUPPLY/ IGNITION
Integrated multipoint electronic in-
jection and ignition system: only one
electronic control unit controls both
functions. It processes both the time
the injection lasts (for petrol meter-
ing) and the ignition advance angle.
Type: Multipoint.
Air cleaner: dry, with paper filtering
element.
Fuel pump: by immersion, in the tank.
Injection pressure 3 barMixture metered by electronic pro-
cessing of the data picked up by the
engine speed sensor and absolute
pressure sensor in the intake manifold.
Petrol metering system : a “Closed
Loop” (information on the combus-
tion trend transmitted by the sensor
Lambda).
Ignition order: 1-3-4-2.
Spark plugs:
Modifications or repairs
to the fuel feed system
that are not carried out
properly or do not take the sys-
tem’s technical specifications in-
to account can cause malfunc-
tions leading to the risk of fire.
LUBRICATION
Forced-feed with gear pump with
pressure relief valve incorporated.
Oil purification through full-flow car-
tridge filter.
COOLING
Cooling system with radiator, cen-
trifugal pump and expansion tank.
Thermostat on the secondary circuit
for recirculating the water from the
engine to the radiator. “By-pass con-
trolled” thermostat.
Electrical fan for cooling the radiator
with connection/disconnection, con-
trolled by a thermostatic switch lo-
cated on the radiator.

wheels by means of drive shafts con-
nected to the differential assembly and
the wheels with CV joints.
GEARBOX

fect shock absorber.
BRAKES
SERVICE AND EMERGENCY
BRAKES

STEERING
Energy absorbing steering wheel (air
bag, if provided).
Rake adjustable, jointed energy ab-
sorbing steering column.
Mechanical or hydraulic rack and pin-
ion command with permanent lubri-
cation.
Hydraulic power steering (as pro-
vided).
Permanent lubrication joints.
Minimum turning diameter:
10.2 metres.

to lock:
3.69 turns for mechanical steering;
2.66 turns for hydraulic steering.
Do not push the power
steering to its limit while
the engine is running for
more than 15 seconds: this will
