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)
(for versions/markets, 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 - Regulation of engine braking
torque), which intervenes in the event
of a sudden change of gear whilst down-
shifting (preventing the wheels from
locking during deceleration when the
accelerator is released), restoring
torque to the engine, thereby avoiding
excessive drag of the driving wheels
which can lead to a loss of vehicle sta-
bility and control, particularly in poor
grip conditions;
❒HBA (Hydraulic Brake Assist), système
qui rend plus efficace un éventuel
freinage d’urgence ;
❒HH (Hill Holder) which, if the brake
pedal is pressed, on a gradient (uphill or
downhill), keeps the vehicle braked for
the time required to set off while the
foot moves from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
For more details on the operation of the
above functions, refer to the Owner
Handbook under the ESP System section.
Compared with the version with two dri-
ve wheels, the ESP system includes the
ELD function (Electronic Locking Differ-
ential) which improves drive.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 - Regulation of engine braking
torque), which intervenes in the event
of a sudden change of gear whilst down-
shifting (preventing the wheels from
locking during deceleration when the
accelerator is released), restoring
torque to the engine, thereby avoiding
excessive drag of the driving wheels
which can lead to a loss of vehicle sta-
bility and control, particularly in poor
grip conditions.

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;
