This Supplement describes the main fea-
tures of Fiat Panda 4 x 4 versions togeth-

FIAT PANDA 4 x 4 DRIVE LINE
The Fiat Panda 4 x 4 has a transmis-
sion system comprising two differ-
entials and an electronically con-
trolled coupling.
Thanks to this system, under poor
grip conditions the four-wheel drive
will engage automatically (i.e.: no
driver’s action required) and provide
optimum torque distribution be-
tween front and rear axle.
Fiat Panda 4 x 4 is therefore suited
for all types of roads: in fact, it is ca-
pable of coping well with snowy, icy,
muddy and dirt roads, even with
steep slopes.SUMMARY
