Boot extension: unfasten the belt through
button Mand guide the belt to prevent
it from twisting; overlap tongues Iand G,
on the catch Hin the reel compartment.
IMPORTANT After repositioning the
seats, restore proper seat belts conditions
for prompt use.PRETENSIONERS
To increase the efficiency of the front and
rear (where provided) seat belts, the Fiat
Panda is fitted with pretensioners. These
devices “feel”, through a sensor, that a vi-
olent crash is in progress and rewind the
seat belts a few centimetres. In this way
they ensure that the seat belt adheres per-
fectly to the wearer before the restrain-
ing action begins.
The seat belt locks to indicate that the de-
vice has intervened; the seat belt cannot
be drawn back up even when guiding it
manually.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest de-
gree of protection from the action of the
pretensioning device, wear the seat belt
keeping it firmly close to the chest and
pelvis.
A small amount of smoke may be pro-
duced. This smoke is in no way toxic and
presents no fire hazard.
The pretensioner does not require any
maintenance or greasing. Anything that
modifies its original conditions invalidates
its efficiency. If due to unusual natural
events (floods, sea storms, etc.) the device
has been affected by water and mud, it
must necessarily be replaced. Seat belt with three anchor points
(for versions/markets where
applicable) fig. 5
The seat belt has two webbings and a dou-
ble buckle.
To use the seat belts, take the tongues out
of the reel compartment and pull the belt,
guide the belt to prevent it from twisting
then secure tongue Ginto buckle Lfitted
with the black button M.
To fasten the belt, run the belt and secure
tongue Iinto the corresponding buckle N.
To fasten the belt: press button Oand guide
the belt to prevent it from twisting.

Remember that in the case
of a violent collision, back
seat passengers not wearing seat belts
also represent a serious danger to the
passengers in the front.

Accessories installed on
longitudinal bars
Remove accessories like: roof racks, ski
racks, luggage container, etc. from the roof
as soon as they are no longer used. These
accessories lower air penetration and ad-
versely affect consumption levels. When
needing to carry particularly voluminous
objects, preferably use a trailer.
Electric devices
Use electric devices only for the amount
of time needed. Rear heated window, ad-
ditional headlights, windscreen wipers and
heater fan need a considerable amount of
energy, therefore increasing the require-
ment of current increases fuel consump-
tion (up to +25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control
The air conditioner is an additional load
which greatly affects the engine leading to
higher consumption (on average up to
+20%). When the temperature outside
the car permits it, use the air vents where
possible.
Spoilers
The use of non-certified aerodynamic
items may adversely affect air drag and
consumption levels.DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine with the car at
a standstill or at idle or high speed: under
these conditions the engine warms up
much more slowly, increasing electrical
consumption and emissions. It is therefore
advisable to move off immediately, slow-
ly, avoiding high speeds: this way the en-
gine will warm faster.
Unnecessary actions
Avoid accelerating when waiting at traffic
lights or before switching off the engine.
This and also double declutching is ab-
solutely pointless on modern cars and al-
so increases consumption and pollution.
Gear selection
As soon as the conditions of the traffic and
road allow, use a higher gear. Using a low
gear to obtain brilliant performance in-
creases consumption.
In the same way improper use of a high
gear increases consumption, emissions an
engine wear.CONTAINING
RUNNING COSTS
Some useful tips are given below for fuel
saving and reducing harmful emissions of
CO
2and other pollutants (nitrogen ox-
ides, unburnt hydrocarbons, Particulate
Matter (PM) etc.).
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out
in accordance with the “Service schedule”.
Tyres
Check the pressure of the tyres routine-
ly at an interval of no more than 4 weeks:
if the pressure is too low, consumption
levels increase as resistance to rolling is
higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with too much luggage
stowed in the boot. The weight of the car
(especially when driving in town) and its
trim greatly affects consumption and sta-
bility.

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.
