FIAT PANDA 4 x 4
This Supplement describes the main fea-
tures of Fiat Panda 4 x 4 versions togeth-
er with a few instructions for use. For all
the other information not contained here-
in, refer to the Owner Handbook this sup-
plement is attached to.
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

ESP SYSTEM
(Electronic Stability
Program)
(where provided)
Le système ESP comprend:
❒Le système EBD (Electronic Braking
force Distribution) qui permet de ré-
partir le freinage entre les roues avant
et arrière.
❒ABS (Antiblocking System), système an-
tiblocage des roues en freinage;
❒ASR (Active Spin Regulation), qui per-
met de contrôler le patinage des roues
motrices en intervenant sur les freins
et sur le couple moteur;
❒MSR (Motor Schleppmomenten
Regelung – Régulation du couple de
freinage du moteur), qui intervient en
cas de changement brusque de vitesse
(ce qui évite le blocage des roues en
phase de décélération, lorsque l’ac-
célérateur est relâché), en augmentant
le couple du moteur pour éviter l’en-
traînement excessif des roues motrices.
En effet, ce phénomène, surtout dans
des conditions de faible adhérence, peut
provoquer une perte de stabilité du
véhicule;
❒HBA (Hydraulic Brake Assist), système
qui rend plus efficace un éventuel
freinage d’urgence ;
❒HH (Hill Holder), qui, en conditions de
pente ou de côte, si la pédale de frein
est enfoncée, maintient le véhicule
freiné le temps nécessaire au départ,
permettant de passer le pied du frein
à l’accélérateur sans que la voiture
recule.
Pour plus de précisions sur les fonctions
susmentionnées, se référer à la Notice
d’entretien, section Système ESP.
Par rapport à la version deux roues motri-
ces, le système ESP comprend la fonction
ELD (Electronic Locking Differential), qui
optimise la traction.ABS SYSTEM
This version is provided as standard with
the ABS system and includes:
❒EBD (Electronic Braking Force Distrib-
ution), that distributes the braking ef-
fect between front and rear wheels;
❒MSR (Motor Schleppmomenten
Regelung - Engine braking torque con-
trol system), that in case of sudden gear
shifting cuts in (preventing wheel lock-
ing at slow down when releasing the ac-
celerator) providing torque to the en-
gine thus preventing excessive driving
wheel drive that, specially in poor grip
conditions can lead to the loss of sta-
bility.

FIAT PANDA 4 x 4
ELD - ELECTRONIC
LOCKING
DIFFERENTIAL
(where provided)
The ELD (Electronic Locking Differential)
is a further aid when driving or starting the
car in poor grip conditions (snow, ice,
mud, etc.) since it enables to distribute
power adequately to the same axle when
one or more wheels are slipping.
The ELD actually brakes the wheels that
are loosing grip (or that are slipping more
than others) and it transmits power to
wheels having best grip.
This function can be turned on manually
by pressing the ELD button in the dash-
board and works below a level of 50 km/h.
When this speed is exceeded, it is auto-
matically deactivated (the LED in the ELD
button remains on) and it is reactivated as
soon as the speed goes below the level
of 50 km/h.ELD operation
At start-up the ELD system is off.
To turn the ELD system on, press button
fig. 1; the relevant button led will turn on.
The activation of the ELD system involves
the following functions being switched on:
– Permanent four wheel drive, so that the
vehicle is more responsive;
– Inhibition of the ASR function, in order
to fully exploit the engine torque;
– Differential lock effect on the front and
rear axles, via the braking system, to im-
prove drive on uneven surfaces.
If there is a problem with the ELD system,
the (ESP) warning light will come on con-
stantly.4x4 Drive - Signals
The warning light in fig. 2a-2bprovides
two different types of signals:
❒signalling with flashing light: this indi-
cates that the differential lock function
(ELD) is activated, for versions with ESP
only and with the ELD button pressed;

FIAT PANDA 4 x 4
❒signalling with light on constantly: this
indicates that there is a problem with
the 4x4 drive; go to a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible (where provided,
the display will show a dedicated mes-
sage). In addition, on versions with ESP,
if the ELD is on, the LED in the button
will go out.HEADLIGHT WASHER
(where provided)
The headlight washing system consists of
two nozzles for washing the external
headlight lens. This function can be acti-
vated using the windscreen washer stalk
only if dipped beams or main beams are
on. Operating the stalk to wash the wind-
screen will automatically start the head-
light washer.
This version features a windscreen wash-
er fluid reservoir with improved capaci-
ty, i.e.: 4.5 litres.
IF A TYRE
IS PUNCTURED
General instructions
The car can be delivered (upon request/if
provided) with space-saver spare wheel or
with quick tyre repair kit (called Fix & Go).
Wheel changing and correct use of the jack
and space-saver spare wheel call for some
precautions as listed in the Owner Hand-
book this Supplement is attached to. In the
Owner Handbook you will also find how
to use the Fix & Go kit (quick tyre repair
kit).
To change a wheel proceed as follows:
❒stop the car in a position that is not
dangerous for oncoming traffic where
you can change the wheel safely. The
ground should be flat and adequately
firm;
❒turn the engine off and pull up the hand-
brake;
❒engage first gear or reverse;

about to be raised; all persons should
be kept away from the car until it has
been lowered again;
❒fit handle H-fig. 6to the jack device I
and raise the car until the wheel is a few
inches off the ground. When turning the
jack handle make sure that it can be used
easily and take care not to scrape your
hand against the ground. The moving
parts of the jack (screws and joints) may
also cause injury if touched. Clean off any
grease;
❒remove the wheel cap (if any) after un-
screwing the three relevant bolts then,
unscrew the fourth bolt L-fig. 7 and re-
move the wheel;

used into the tool bag;
❒stow the bag with tools into its place
under the driver’s seat.
IMPORTANT Replaced wheel shall be
placed in the boot under the cover mat as
shown in fig. 10.
IMPORTANT Do not use inner tubes
with tubeless tyres. Check tyre and space-
saver spare wheel pressure regularly.IMPORTANT Changing original wheels
with others of different type (i.e.: with al-
loy rim instead of steel rims and vice ver-
sa) will involve to change the whole set
of wheel bolts with others of suitable
length. It is however recommended to
keep replaced bolts in the event of future
refitting of the original wheels.

After using the car off-road (wheels, body,
underengine and underbody protections
very dirty), remember to wash it and to
clean accurately radiators (engine and air-
conditioner), radiator fan and wheels (rims
and wheelhouses), underengine and un-
derbody protections to preserve their
regular operation and to guarantee prop-
er ventilation of brake discs, perfect wheel
geometry and regular operation of the
propeller shaft.
TOWING THE CAR
The car can only be towed in one of the
following ways (always and exclusively
with the engine off, gearbox in neutral and
handbrake disengaged):
– with the 4 wheels on the roadbed;
– with front wheels raised or resting on
the wrecking car floor and rear wheels
resting on a suitable truck;
– with rear wheels raised or resting on the
wrecking car floor and front wheels rest-
ing on a suitable truck;
– on wrecking car, with front and rear
wheels resting on the wrecking car floor.
TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT If the car is used at its max.
towing capacity on sloping road, change
engine oil every 10,000 km.
