Dear Customer
,
Thank you for choosing Fiat and congratulations on your choice of a Fiat Panda.
We have written this handbook to help you get to know all your new Fiat Panda’s features and use it in the best pos-
sible way. You should read it right through before taking the road for the first time. You will find information, tips
and important warnings regarding the driving of your car to help you derive the maximum from your Fiat Panda’s
technological features.
You are recommended to carefully read the warnings and indications, marked with the respective symbols, at the end
of the page:
personal safety;
car safety;
environmental protection.
The enclosed Warranty Booklet lists the services that Fiat offers to its Customers:
❒
the Warranty Certificate with terms and conditions for maintaining its validity;
❒
the range of additional services available to Fiat Customers.
Enjoy the reading and happy motoring!
This Owner Handbook describes all Fiat Panda versions.
As a consequence, you should only consider the information which is related
to the engine and bodywork version of the car you have purchased.
