Operations which lead
to knocks, vibrations or
localised heating (over
100°C for a maximum of 6
hours) in the area around the
pretensioners may cause damage
or trigger them. These devices
are not affected by vibrations
caused by irregularities of the
road surface or low obstacles
such as kerbs, etc. Contact a Fiat
Dealership for any assistance.A small amount of smoke may be
produced. 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 in-
validates 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.
The pretensioner can
only be used once.
After a collision that has
triggered it, have it replaced at
a Fiat Dealership. The validity of
the device is written on the plate
located on the front left door
post. The pretensioners should
be replaced at a Fiat Dealership
as this date approaches..PRETENSIONERS
To increase the efficiency of the front
and rear (where provided) seat belts,
the Fiat Panda is fitted with preten-
sioners. These devices “feel”, through
a sensor, that a violent crash is in
progress and rewind the seat belts a
few centimetres. In this way they en-
sure that the seat belt adheres per-
fectly to the wearer before the re-
straining action begins.
The seat belt locks to indicate that
the device has intervened; the seat belt
cannot be drawn back up even when
guiding it manually.
IMPORTANTTo obtain the high-
est degree of protection from the ac-
tion of the pretensioning device, wear
the seat belt keeping it firmly close to
the chest and pelvis.

55GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CAR
The ABS exploits the
road hold available as
much as possible but can-
not increase it. You should al-
ways drive carefully on slippery
surfaces and avoid any unneces-
sary risks.Braking while cornering always re-
quires extreme care even when using
ABS.
The most important advice to follow
is this:
If the ABS intervenes, it
means that the grip be-
tween the type and the
road is reduced with respect to
the normal conditions. Reduce
speed immediately to match the
poor road conditions.
If there is a fault in the
system and the instru-
ment panel warning light
>comes on, drive you car
slowly to a Fiat Dealership, to
have the system checked and put
right.When the ABS cuts in,
and you feel the brake
pedal pulsating, do not
remove your foot, but keep it
pressed. In doing so you will stop
in the shortest amount of space
possible under the current road
conditions.
If you follow these tips you will be
able to brake better in any situation.
IMPORTANTCars with ABS may
only be fitted with wheel rims, tyres
and brake pads of the make and
model approved by the manufacturer.The system is completed with an
electronic brake force distributor
called EBD which improves braking
system performance by means of the
ABSsystem control unit and sensors.
The car is fitted with an
electronic braking device
(EBD). The >and x
warning light will come on at the
same time when the engine is
running to indicate that there is
an EBD system failure. In this
case violent braking may be ac-
companied by early rear wheel
locking with the possibility of
skidding. Drive the car extremely
carefully to the nearest Fiat Deal-
ership to have the system
checked.

ELECTRICAL POWER
STEERING SYSTEM
IMPORTANT The electrical
power steering system only works
when the ignition key is at MAR.
A new electrically controlled power
steering system called EPAS (Electri-
cal Power Assisted Steering) is fitted
in the Fiat 600.
The EPAS system is operated by an
electric motor and consists of only
two parts: a steering column with
built-in electric motor and an elec-
tronic control unit.
The control unit processes the data
from the various sensors located in
the car and converts the signals into
commands for the power steering
motor to reduce the effect on the
steering wheel both when parking and
when cornering.

IMPORTANTIf required, replace
the fuel cap with another genuine cap
to avoid affecting the efficiency of the
fuel vapour recovery system. PROTECTING
THE ENVIRONMENT
Protecting the environment has been
the guiding principle in the design of
the Fiat 600 right from the start. The
result is the use of materials and cre-
ation of devices that can reduce or
considerably curtail harmful influences
on the environment.
Keep naked flames or
lighted cigarettes away
from the fuel filler hole as
there is a danger of fire. Do not
bend too close to the hole either
so as not to breathe in harmful
vapours.
The devices for curtailing petrol en-
gine emissions are:
– a three-way catalytic converter;
– a lambda sensor;
– a fuel evaporation system.
Consequently, the Fiat 600 is ready
to travel well ahead of the most strin-
gent international pollution control
standards.

80DRIVING YOUR CAR
LOOKING AFTER EMISSION
CONTROL DEVICES
The correct use of pollution control
devices not only ensures respect for
the environment but also has an effect
on the car’s performance. Keeping
these devices in good condition is
therefore a fundamental rule for dri-
ving that is easy on your pocket and
on the environment too.
The first step to take is to follow the
Service Schedule to the letter.
If your car has a petrol engine use
only unleaded petrol.
If you have trouble starting, do not
keep turning the ignition key for long
periods. Be especially careful to avoid
bump starting the car by pushing, tow-
ing or rolling down hill: these are all
manoeuvres that can damage the cat-
alytic exhaust. For emergency starts
use only an auxiliary battery.If the engine begins to “lose its
smoothness” when travelling, con-
tinue your journey but reduce the de-
mands you are making on the engine
and go to a Fiat Dealershipas soon
as you can.
When the instrument panel fuel re-
serve warning light comes on, fill up as
soon as possible. A low level of fuel
can cause an uneven supply of fuel to
the engine with the inevitable increase
in the temperature of the exhaust gas
and serious damage to the catalytic
converter.
Never run the engine with one or
more spark plugs disconnected, even
for testing purposes.
Do not warm up the engine by let-
ting it idle for a while before moving
off unless the outside temperature is
very low and, even in this case, only
do so for less than 30 seconds.Do not install other heat shields
and do not remove those already fit-
ted to the catalytic converter and
exhaust pipe.
When functioning nor-
mally the catalytic con-
verter reaches high tem-
peratures. For this reason do not
park the car over flammable ma-
terial (grass, dry leaves, pine nee-
dles etc.): fire hazard.
Ignoring the above rules
may lead to fire.
Do not allow anything to
be sprayed onto the cat-
alytic converter, Lambda
sensor or exhaust pipe.

BRAKES
SERVICE AND EMERGENCY
BRAKES
Front:
– disc, floating caliper type with op-
erating cylinder for each wheel.
Rear:
– drum type with self-centring shoes
and operating cylinder for each wheel.
Crossed hydraulic circuit control.
7” vacuum brake booster.
ABS system with four sensors
(where fitted).
Automatic take-up of friction liner
wear.
Brake effort proportioning valves (2)
intervening on hydraulic circuit of the
rear brakes. HANDBRAKE
Controlled by a lever, it works me-
chanically on the rear brakes.
SUSPENSION
Front:
Independent wheel type, lower wish-
bones anchored to telescopic sup-
ports consisting of a cast iron riser
rigidly connected to a hydraulic dou-
ble action shock absorber. Leaf spring
and coaxial pads with the shock ab-
sorbers. Permanently lubricated joints.
Anti-roll bar anchored to the body
acting on suspension arm.
Rear:
Independent wheel with coil springs.
Jointed steel arms with bush and dou-
ble action telescopic gas shock ab-
sorbers. Water, ice and salt
sprinkled on the road de-
posit on the brake disc
and reduce effectiveness when
you brake.
Pay attention when in-
stalling extra spoilers, al-
loy wheels and non stan-
dard wheel caps: they could re-
duce the ventilation of the
brakes, thus reducing their effi-
ciency when braking suddenly
and frequently, or on long down-
hill slopes.
