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

ELD - ELECTRONIC
LOCKING
DIFFERENTIAL
(for versions/markets, 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.4 x 4 Drive - Signals
The warning light in fig. 2-3provides 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;

Keep your speed down when
snow chains are fitted. Do
not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid potholes,
steps and pavements and avoid also
to drive for long distances on roads
not covered with snow to prevent
damaging the car and the roadbed.Snow chains shall only be fit-
ted to front wheels.

SNOW CHAINS
Use of snow chains should be in compli-
ance with local regulations.
Tyre 185/65 R14 86T M+S cannot be fitted
with chains only for Fiat Panda 4 x 4 Climb-
ing versions whereas it can be fitted with
chains for Fiat Panda 4 x 4 CROSS versions.
Tyre 165/70 R14 81T M+S can be fitted
with chains. For tyres that can be fitted
with chains only use snow chains with re-
duced size (max. protrusion beyond the
tyre profile of 9 mm).
WARNING
It is recommended to use Lineaccessori
Fiat snow chains.
Check the tension of the chains after the
first few metres have been driven.
Tyre 175/65 R15 84T M+S, (that can be
fitted on Fiat Panda 4 x 4 CROSS upon re-
quest) cannot be fitted with chains.
Five forward gears and reverse with synchromesh
for forward gear engagement
Self-adjusting with no travel-free pedal
4 x 4 switched on automatically via the electronically controlled coupling and two differentials
rack and pinion with electric power steering (where provided)
