PARKING SENSORS
(where provided)
Parking sensors are located in the rear
bumper fig. 95and their function is to in-
form the driver, through an intermittent
buzzer, about the presence of obstacles
behind the car.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated
when the reverse gear is engaged.
The sound produced by the acoustic alarm
becomes louder when the distance be-
tween the car and the obstacle decreases.
BUZZER WARNINGS
When the reverse gear is engaged an in-
termittent acoustic signal is automatically
activated (short beep indicating that sen-
sors are active).
The acoustic signal:
❒ becomes louder as the reduction of dis-
tance between the car and the obsta-
cle decreases;
❒ becomes continuous when the distance
between the car and the obstacle is less
that 30 cm and stops if the distance rais-
es;
❒is constant if the distance is unvaried.Direction distances
Central action radius 120 cm
Side action radius 60 cm
If several obstacles are detected, the con-
trol unit indicates the nearest one. We suggest to stop immediately the car,
turn off the engine for about 20 seconds
and then re-start the car. If the warning
light
gstays on together with the mes-
sage on the reconfigurable multifunction
display (where provided), contact Fiat
Dealership.
IMPORTANT The steering may become
slightly stiff following parking manoeuvres
including a great deal of steering. This is
normal and caused by a system to prevent
motor overheating. No servicing is re-
quired. The electric power steering sys-
tem will return to normal operation the
next time the car is used.
fig. 95F0G0692m
Always switch the engine off,
remove the key from the
starting device and actuate the steer-
ing lock before carrying out any main-
tenance operation, especially when
the wheels are raised from the
ground. In case this is not possible
(e.g. when the key must be in MAR
position or the engine running); re-
move the electric power steering
main fuse before carrying out any
maintenance operation.

GENERAL WARNINGS
❒When parking, take the utmost care to
obstacles that may be set above or un-
der the sensors.
❒Objects set close to the car rear part,
under certain circumstances are not de-
tected and could therefore cause dam-
ages to the car.
❒Indications sent by the sensors can be
altered by dirt, snow or ice deposited
on the sensors or by ultrasound sys-
tems (e.g.: truck pneumatic brakes or
pneumatic hammers) set nearby the
car. FAILURE INDICATIONS
In the event of sensor failures, the driver
is warned when engaging reverse by a 3-
second beep.
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is deactivated
automatically when the trailer electric ca-
ble plug is fitted into the car tow hook
socket.
Sensors are reactivated automatically
when removing the trailer cable plug.
For proper operation, the
parking sensors shall always
be clean from mud, dirt, snow
or ice. When cleaning the sen-
sors, take the utmost care to prevent
their damaging; do not use therefore
dry or rough clothes. Sensors shall be
washed with clean water and car de-
tergent, if required. In washing stations,
clean sensors quickly keeping the
vapour jet/high pressure washing noz-
zles at 10 cm at least from the sensors.
Parking manoeuvres howev-
er are always under the dri-
ver’s responsibility that shall always
check the absence of people (spe-
cially children) or animals in the ma-
noeuvre space. This system is just a
help for the driver but she/he shall
never reduce attention during dan-
gerous manoeuvres even if performed
at low speed.

When the car is parked on a steep slope
the reel mechanism may block; this is nor-
mal. The reel mechanism prevents the
webbing coming out when it is jerked or
if the car brakes sharply, in a collision or
when cornering at high speeds.
The rear seat is fitted with inertial seat
belts with three anchor points and reel.
As an optional, (only for homologated 5-
seat cars) also the centre seat can be fit-
ted with three anchor points and reel or
with lap belt with two anchor points for
versions/markets where applicable.
IMPORTANT Remember that in the
event of a violent collision, back seat pas-
sengers not wearing seat belts also rep-
resent a serious danger for front seat pas-
sengers.SEAT BELT HEIGHT
ADJUSTMENT (where provided)
Four different adjustments in height are
provided.
To adjust, press button A-fig. 2and low-
er or raise the grip B.
Always adjust the height of the seat belt
to fit the person wearing it: this precau-
tion could greatly reduce the risk of injury
in case of collision.
Correct adjustment is obtained when the
belt passes half way between the end of
the shoulder and the neck.
See texts and figures given in paragraph
“General instructions for using the seat
belts” in this section.
SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS fig. 1
The belt should be worn keeping the chest
straight and rested against the seat back.
To fasten the seat belts, take hold the
tongue Aand insert it into the buckle B,
until hearing the locking click. At removal,
if it jams, let it rewind for a short stretch,
then pull it out again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button
C. Guide the seat belt with your hand
while it is rewinding, to prevent it from
twisting. Through the reel, the belt auto-
matically adapts to the body of the pas-
senger wearing it, allowing freedom of
movement.

able;
❒ sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber
windscreen and rear window wiper
blades and lift them off the glass;
❒ slightly open the windows;
❒cover the car with a cloth or perforat-
ed plastic sheet. Do not use sheets of
non-perforated plastic as they do not
allow moisture on the car body to
evaporate;
❒inflate tyres to +0,5 bar above the nor-
mal specified pressure and check it at
intervals;
❒ if you don’t disconnect the battery from
the electric system, check its charge
every month and recharge it if the op-
tical indicator shows a dark colour
without the central green area;
❒ do not drain the engine cooling system.
CAR INACTIVITY

CORRECT USE
OF THE CAR
IN AN
EMERGENCY
Alert other drivers that the
car is stationary in compli-
ance with local regulations: hazard
warning lights, warning triangle, etc.
Any passengers on board should leave
the car, especially if it is heavily laden.
Passengers should stay away from on-
coming traffic while the wheel is be-
ing changed. If parked on a slope or
rough surface, chock the wheels with
wedges or other suitable devices.
WARNING
When driving with a space-
saver spare wheel fitted, the
driving performance of the car
changes. Avoid accelerating or brak-
ing sharply, abrupt turns of fast cor-
nerings. The life of a spare wheel is
approx. 3000 km, after this distance
it should be replaced with another of
the same type. Never attempt to fit
a conventional tyre on a rim designed
for use as a space-saver spare wheel.
Have the punctured wheel repaired
and refitted as soon as possible. Two
or more space-saver spare wheels
should never be used together. Do not
grease the threads of bolts before in-
stalling them: they might slip out.
WARNING
The jack shall only be used
for changing wheels on the
car with which it is provided or on
cars of the same model. It must not
be used for other purposes such as for
instance raising cars of other models.
In no case should it be used for repairs
under the car. Incorrect positioning
of the jack may cause the jacked car
to fall. Do not use the jack for high-
er capacities than stated on its label.
Snow chains cannot be fitted to the
space-saver spare wheel. So, if a front
(drive) wheel is punctured and chains
are needed, a rear wheel should be
fitted to the front of the car and the
spare wheel should be fitted to the
rear. This way with two normal dri-
ve wheels, snow chains can be fitted
to them to solve an emergency.
WARNING
Fasten the wheel cap cor-
rectly to prevent the wheel
from coming free in motion. Never
tamper with the inflation valve. Nev-
er place tools between the rim and
tyre. Check and restore, if required,
the pressure of tyres and spare wheel
to the values given in section “Tech-
nical specifications”.
WARNING
Please note:
❒ the jack weight is 1,76 kg;
❒the jack requires no adjustment;
❒the jack cannot be repaired and in the
event of a fault it must be replaced by
another original one;
❒no tool other than its cranking device
may be fitted on the jack.

BODY AND UNDERBODY
WARRANTY
Your Fiat Panda is covered by warranty
against perforation due to rust of any orig-
inal element of the structure or body.
For the general terms of this warranty, re-
fer to Fiat Warranty Booklet.
ADVICE FOR PRESERVING
THE BODYWORK
Paint
Paintwork does not only serve an aesteth-
ic purpose, but also protects the under-
lying sheet metal.
In the case of deep scrapes or scores, you
are advised to have the necessary touching
up carried out immediately to avoid the for-
mation of rust. For touching up use only
original products (see “Bodywork paint
identification plate” in section “Technical
specifications”).Normal paint maintenance consists in
washing at intervals depending on the con-
ditions and environment of use. For exam-
ple, in highly polluted areas, or if the roads
are sprayed with salt, it is wise to wash the
car more frequently.
To correctly wash the car:
❒ remove the aerial from the roof to pre-
vent damage to it if the car is washed in
an automatic system;
❒ wash the body using a low pressure jet
of water;
❒ wipe a sponge with a slightly soapy so-
lution over the bodywork, frequently
rinsing with the sponge;
❒ rinse well with water and dry with a jet
of air or a chamois leather.
When drying, take particular care with the
less visible parts like door surrounds, bon-
net and around the headlights where wa-
ter may stagnate. The car should not be
taken to a closed area immediately, but left
in the open so that residual water can
evaporate.
Do not wash the car after it has been left
in the sun or with the bonnet hot: this may
alter the shine of the paintwork.Windows
Use specific window cleaner products.
Use also clean cloths to avoid scratching
the glass or damaging the transparency.
IMPORTANT The inside of the
rearscreen should be wiped gently with a
cloth in the direction of the filaments to
avoid damaging the heating device. Exterior plastic parts must be cleaned in
the same way as the rest of the car.
Where possible, do not park under trees;
the resinous substance many species re-
lease give the paint a dull appearance and
increase the possibility of triggering rust
processes.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings must be
washed off immediately and thoroughly as
the acid they contain is particularly ag-
gressive.
Detergents cause water pollu-
tion. Therefore the engine
compartment should be
washed in areas equipped for
collecting and purifying the liquid used
in the washing process.
