FIAT PANDA 4 x 4
This Supplement describes the main fea-
tures of Fiat Panda 4 x 4 versions togeth-
er with a few instructions for use. For all
the other information not contained here-
in, refer to the Owner Handbook this sup-
plement is attached to.
FIAT PANDA 4 x 4 DRIVE LINE
Fiat Panda 4 x 4 drive line features
two differentials and a viscous joint.
Thanks to this system, under poor
grip conditions the four-wheel drive
will engage automatically (i.e.: no
driver’s action required) and provide
optimum torque distribution be-
tween front and rear axle.
Fiat Panda 4 x 4 is therefore suited
for all types of roads: in fact, it is ca-
pable of coping well with snowy, icy,
muddy and dirt roads, even with
steep slopes.SUMMARY

The ELD (Electronic Locking Differential)
is a further aid when driving or starting the
car in poor grip conditions (snow, ice,
mud, etc.) since it enables to distribute
power adequately to the same axle when
one or more wheels are slipping.
The ELD actually brakes the wheels that
are loosing grip (or that are slipping more
than others) and it transmits power to
wheels having best grip.This function can be engaged manually and
it operates at a car speed below 30 km/h.
Exceeding this speed it will disengage au-
tomatically.
ABS SYSTEM
This version is provided as standard with
the ABS system and includes:
❒EBD (Electronic Braking Force Distrib-
ution), that distributes the braking ef-
fect between front and rear wheels;
❒MSR (Motor Schleppmomenten
Regelung - Engine braking torque con-
trol system), that in case of sudden gear
shifting cuts in (preventing wheel lock-
ing at slow down when releasing the ac-
celerator) providing torque to the en-
gine thus preventing excessive driving
wheel drive that, specially in poor grip
conditions can lead to the loss of sta-
bility.

ELD operation
At start-up the ELD system is off.
To turn the ELD system on, press button
fig. 1; the relevant button led will turn on.
The system cuts in at a speed below 30
km/h as described previously: in this event
the instrument panel warning light fig. 2
will flash.ELD warning light indications, fig. 2
The ELD warning light indicates the fol-
lowing two system conditions:
❒flashing: system active;
❒glowing steadily: system failure, in
this event contact Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible.
HEADLIGHT WASHER
(where provided)
The headlight washing system consists of
two nozzles for washing the external
headlight lens. This function can be acti-
vated using the windscreen washer stalk
only if dipped beams or main beams are
on. Operating the stalk to wash the wind-
screen will automatically start the head-
light washer.
This version features a windscreen wash-
er fluid reservoir with improved capaci-
ty, i.e.: 4.5 litres.

General instructions
The car can be delivered (upon request/if
provided) with space-saver spare wheel
or with quick tyre repair kit (called Fix &
Go).
Wheel changing and correct use of the jack
and space-saver spare wheel call for some
precautions as listed in the Owner Hand-
book this Supplement is attached to. In the
Owner Handbook you will also find how
to use the Fix & Go kit (quick tyre repair
kit).
To change a wheel proceed as follows:
❒stop the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic where
you can change the wheel safely. The
ground should be flat and adequately
firm;
❒turn the engine off and pull up the hand-
brake;
❒engage first gear or reverse;
❒take out the tool bag fig. 3set under the
driver’s seat and take it near the wheel
to be changed;
❒loosen the clamping device B-fig. 4;
❒take the space-saver spare wheel A;
❒loosen the bolts on the wheel to be
replaced with the wrench provided A-
fig. 5;
❒turn the jack handle to open it partly;
❒place the jack near the wheel to be
changed in line with mark Oon the
sidemember fig. 6;
❒make sure the groove Fon the jack fits
correctly into the sidemember ridge G;
❒alert other passengers that the car is
about to be raised; all persons should
be kept away from the car until it has
been lowered again;

❒fit handle H-fig. 6to the jack device I
and raise the car until the wheel is a few
inches off the ground. When turning the
jack handle make sure that it can be used
easily and take care not to scrape your
hand against the ground. The moving
parts of the jack (screws and joints) may
also cause injury if touched. Clean off any
grease;
❒remove the wheel cap (if any) after un-
screwing the three relevant bolts then,
unscrew the fourth bolt L-fig. 7 and re-
move the wheel;
❒make sure the space-saver spare wheel
supporting surfaces on the hub are
clean and free from any impurities that
could cause wheel bolts loosening;
❒fit the space-saver spare wheel match-
ing one of the wheel holes Owith pins
N-fig. 8;
❒fasten the four fastening bolts;
❒turn the jack handle to lower the car
and remove the jack;
❒fasten the bolts completely, working in
a criss-cross fashion as shown in fig. 9.

After changing the wheel
❒put the jack partly open and the tools
used into the tool bag;
❒stow the bag with tools into its place
under the driver’s seat.
IMPORTANT Replaced wheel shall be
placed in the boot under the cover mat as
shown in fig. 10.
IMPORTANT Do not use inner tubes
with tubeless tyres. Check tyre and space-
saver spare wheel pressure regularly.IMPORTANT Changing original wheels
with others of different type (i.e.: with al-
loy rim instead of steel rims and vice ver-
sa) will involve to change the whole set
of wheel bolts with others of suitable
length. It is however recommended to
keep replaced bolts in the event of future
refitting of the original wheels.
