2007 FIAT PANDA warning

IMPORTANT Do not use inner tubes
with tubeless tyres. Check the inflation
pressure of the tyres and the spare wheel
regularly.
IMPORTANT You will need to change the
set of bolts if you want to change the type
of wheels fitted (alloy rims instead of steel
rims, and vice versa). You will have to
change the entire set of fastening bolts
with another set of suitably sized bolts and
adopt a specific spare wheel having differ-
ent building characteristics.
You should keep the bolts and spare
wheel in case you decide to use the orig-
inal type of wheel later on. ❒fasten the three other bolts with the
wrench provided;
❒lower the car and remove the jack;
❒fasten bolts completely, working in a
criss-cross fashion as shown in fig. 10.

❒check that the compressor switch D-
fig. 4is set at 0 (off), start the engine,
fit plug E-fig. 5into the 12V outlet lo-
cated on the central console and then
turn the compressor on setting the
switch D-fig. 4in position I(on). Inflate
the tyre at the pressure value specified
in paragraph “Inflation pressure” in sec-
tion “Technical Specifications” Check tyre pressure on gauge F-
fig. 4with compressor off to obtain
precise reading;
❒if after 5 minutes it is still impossible
to reach at least 1.5 bar, disengage com-
pressor from valve and current outlet,
then move the car forth for approx. ten
metres in order to distribute the seal-
ing fluid inside the tyre evenly, then re-
peat the inflation operation;
❒If after this operation it is still impossi-
ble after 5 minutes to reach at least 1.8
bar, do not start driving since the tyre
is excessively damaged and the quick
tyre repair kit cannot guarantee suit-
able sealing, contact Fiat Dealership;
❒if reaching the tyre pressure specified
in paragraph “Inflation pressure” in sec-
tion “Technical Specifications”, start
driving immediately;
❒after driving for about 10 minutes stop
and check again the tyre pressure; pull
up the handbrake;
Apply the sticker in a visible
position for the driver to in-
dicate that the tyre has been treat-
ed with the quick tyre repair kit. Dri-
ve carefully especially when corner-
ing. Do not exceed 80 km/h. Avoid
heavy braking and accelerating.
WARNING
If the pressure falls below 1.8
bars, do not drive any fur-
ther: the quick tyre repair kit Fix & Go
automatic cannot guarantee proper
hold because the tyre is too much
damaged. Contact Fiat Dealership.

restoring pressure. Release cylinder con-
nection A-fig. 8and connect it directly to
the tyre valve fig. 7; in this way the cylin-
der is not connected to compressor and
the sealing fluid will not flow into the tyre. CYLINDER REPLACEMENT

WHEN NEEDING
TO CHANGE A BULB
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
❒Before changing a bulb check the con-
tacts for oxidation;
❒ Burnt bulbs must be replaced by oth-
ers of the same type and power;
❒Always check headlight aiming after
changing a bulb to ensure they are safe;
❒When a light is not working, check that
the corresponding fuse is intact before
changing a bulb: for the location of fus-
es, refer to paragraph “If a fuse blows”
in this section.
Alterations or repairs to the
electric system not carried
out correctly and without taking into
account the system specifications
may cause failures and the risk of fire.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs contain pres-
surised gas, in the case of
breakage they may burst.
WARNING
Halogen bulbs must be han-
dled touching only the metal-
lic part. If the transparent
bulb is touched with the fin-
gers, its lighting intensity is reduced and
life of the bulb may be compromised.
If touched accidentally, rub the bulb
with a cloth moistened with methylat-
ed spirit and allow to dry.

F0G0118mfig. 20
Where possible, it is advisable
to have bulbs changed c/o Fi-
at Dealership. The correct
operation and aiming of the
outer lights are vital to the safety of the
car and its passengers and the subject
of specific laws.
IMPORTANT The headlight inner surface
might be slightly misted: this should not be
considered irregular but a natural phe-
nomenon due to low temperature and the
air humidity level. Misting will disappear as
soon as the headlights are turned on.
Drops inside the headlight mean water in-
filtration: contact Fiat Dealership.
