FIAT PANDA ADVENTURE
ABS SYSTEM
The ABS system with this version is sup-
plied as standard, and consists of:
❒EBD (Electronic Braking force Distrib-
ution), which distributes the braking ac-
tion 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.
REPLACING A WHEEL
General instructions
The vehicle is originally supplied with a
spare wheel of the same size as those fit-
ted (space-saver spare wheel for ver-
sions/markets, where provided).
Wheel changing and correct use of the jack
and spare wheel (space-saver spare wheel
for versions/markets, where provided) call
for some precautions reported in the Use
and Maintenance manual to which this sup-
plement is attached.To change a wheel proceed as follows:
❒stop the car in a position so that it is
not a danger for on-coming traffic and
where you can replace the wheel safe-
ly. The ground must be flat and com-
pact;
❒Turn the engine off and pull up the
handbrake.
❒Engage first gear or reverse;

WASHING THE CAR
After using the vehicle off-road (with sig-
nificant contact of wheels, bodywork, be-
low-engine covers and underbody pro-
tection), please remember that you should
always wash it, cleaning the radiators care-
fully (engine cooling and conditioner), the
radiator fan, the wheels (rims and wheel-
houses), the protection covers below the
engine and underbody. This will help pre-
serve correct radiator operation in addi-
tion to ensuring good ventilation of the
brake discs and perfect balance of the
wheels. It will also guarantee that the
transmission shaft functions correctly.
TOWING THE CAR
The vehicle can only be towed in one of
the following ways (and always with the
engine off, gear set to neutral and hand
brake off):
- with the 4 wheels on the road base;
- with the front wheels raised or resting
on an emergency vehicle and the rear
wheels resting on a specific trolley;
- with the rear wheels raised or resting on
an emergency vehicle and the front wheels
resting on a specific trolley;
- loaded on the platform of the emergency
means, with all 4 wheels on the platform.
TOWING TRAILERS
WARNING In the event of prolonged ve-
hicle use at maximum tow capacity on
slopes, please replace engine oil more fre-
quently (every 10,000 km).
With regards to the warnings and provi-
sions for the installation of the tow hook,
please see that specified in the attached
Use and Maintenance manual.
