CLOSING THE TAILGATE fig. 77
To close, lower the tailgate until the lock
clicks.
On the tailgate inner side there are a
reces Bthat make it easier to hold and
close the tailgate. RAISING THE REAR PARCEL
SHELF fig. 76
To stove luggage friendly you can raise the
rear parcel shelf until hearing the locking
click. Push it down to refit it.
fig. 76F0G0237mfig. 77F0G0689m
When using the boot, make
sure the load you are carry-
ing does not exceed the permitted
weight (see “Technical specifications”
chapter). Also ensure the items in the
boot are arranged properly to pre-
vent them being thrown forward and
injuring passengers, should you brake
sharply.
WARNING
Do not travel with the tail-
gate open: exhaust gases
may get into the passenger’s com-
partment.
WARNING
When travelling in areas
where it is difficult to find a
filling station and you wish to carry
a reserve fuel can, attain to the rele-
vant law and use only certified cans,
well fastened to the load anchoring
hooks. Even in this way the risk of fire
is increased in the case of an accident.
WARNING
Open the tailgate with care
when carrying objects on the
roof rack bars to prevent impacts.

HEADLIGHTS
ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHT
BEAM
The correct positioning of the headlight
beams is very important for the comfort
and safety not only of the person driving
the car but also all other road users. This
also covered by a specific law.
To ensure you and other drivers have the
best visibility conditions when travelling
with the headlights on, the headlights must
be set properly.
Have the headlight positioning checked at
a Fiat Dealership and adjusted if necessary.
Check the positioning of the headlight
beams whenever the weight or the load
position is changed.
ROOF RACK/
SKI RACK
FASTENERS fig. 84
The roof rack fastener seats Aare shown
in the figure.
To secure the roof rack, remove plugs B
(two per side).
A roof rack/ski rack especially designed for
Fiat Panda is available from Lineaccessori
Fiat.
On some versions, bars carrying all ob-
jects can be provided as an optional.
fig. 84F0G00203m
After travelling a few kilo-
metres, check that the at-
tachment fastening screws are tight.
WARNING
Never exceed the permitted
weight (see section “Techni-
cal specifications”.

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.
