2014 FIAT PANDA pressure

STORING THE CARIf the car is to be left inactive for longer than a
month, the following precautions should be taken:
❒park the car in covered, dry and if possible
well-ventilated premises and slightly open
the windows;
❒engage a gear and check that the handbrake is not
engaged;
❒disconnect the negative battery terminal (for
versions with Start&Stop system refer to the
paragraph "Start&Stop system" in the chapter
"Knowing your car"); If the battery is not
disconnected from the electrical system, check its
charge every thirty days;
❒clean and protect the painted parts using
protective wax;
❒clean and protect the shiny metal parts using
special compounds available commercially;❒sprinkle talcum powder on the windscreen and
rear window wiper rubber blades and lift them
off the glass;
❒cover the car with a cloth or perforated plastic
sheet. Do not use sheets of non-perforated plastic
as they do not allow moisture on the car body
to evaporate;
❒inflate tyres to +0.5 bar above the standard
specified pressure and check it at intervals;
❒do not drain the engine cooling system.

DETERIORATED
(only Diesel versions with DPF - red)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning
light switches on but should switch off as soon as
the engine is started.
1. Low engine oil pressure
The warning light switches on constantly together
(for versions/markets, where provided) with a
message on the display when the system detects that
the engine oil pressure is too low.
WARNING
If the
warning light switches on
when driving (on certain versions
together with the message on the display) stop
the engine immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
2. Engine oil deteriorated
(only Diesel versions with DPF)
The warning light will flash and a specific message will
appear on the display (in versions/markets, where
provided). The warning light flashes for 3 minute
cycles with the warning light off for intervals of
5 seconds until oil is changed.
After the first indication, at each engine start-up the
warning light will continue flashing as described
above until the oil is changed. The display shows a
dedicated message (for versions/markets, where
provided) together with the warning light.
The flashing of this warning light should not be
considered as a fault; it informs the customer that
the oil needs to be changed following normal car use.
Remember that the deterioration of the engine oil
is accelerated by:
❒mainly town use of the car which makes the DPF
regeneration process more frequent;

WARNING
Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning lights, warning
triangle, etc . Any passengers on board should
leave the car, especially if it is heavily laden.
Passengers should stay away from on-coming
traffic while the wheel is being changed. On hills
or uneven roads, use chocks or appropriate
objects to block the wheels of the vehicle.
WARNING
The vehicle's driving characteristics will
be modified with the space-saver wheel
fitted. Avoid violent acceleration and braking,
abrupt steering and fast cornering.The overall
duration of the space-saver spare wheel is
of about 3000 km, after which the relevant tyre
must be replaced with another one of the
same type. Never install a traditional tyre on a
rim designed to be used as a small spare wheel.
Have the wheel repaired and refitted as soon
as possible. Using two or more small spare
wheels at the same time is forbidden. Do not
apply grease to the bolt threads before fitting:
they could unscrew themselves.
WARNING
The jack may be used to replace wheels
only on the car that it comes with or
other cars of the same model. Never use the
jack for other purposes, such as lifting other car
models. Never use it for repair operations
under the car. Incorrectly positioning the jack
may cause the car to fall. Do not use the jack
for loads higher than those shown on the label.
Never install snow chains on the space-saver
spare wheel; if a front tyre (driving wheel)
is punctured and you need to use snow chains,
use a standard wheel from the rear axle and
install the space-saver spare wheel on the rear
axle. In this way, with two normal front drive
wheels, it is possible to use snow chains.
WARNING
If the hub cap is not fitted correctly, it
may come off when the car is travelling.
Never tamper with the inflation valve. Never
introduce tools of any kind between rim and
tyre. Check tyre and space-saver wheel
pressures regularly, complying with the values
given in the "Technical specifications" chapter.

Restore the standard wheel as soon as possible,
because, once placed in the associated compartment,
the luggage compartment load platform is rendered
uneven as the standard wheel is larger than the
space-saver wheel.
REFITTING THE STANDARD WHEEL
Following the procedure described previously, raise
the car and remove the space-saver wheel.
Versions with steel rims
Proceed as follows:
❒make sure the contact surfaces between standard
wheel and hub are clean so that the fastening
bolts will not come loose;
❒fit the standard wheel by inserting the first bolt by
2 threads into the hole closest to the inflation
valve;❒fit the hub cap, aligning the crescent hole with the
bolt already fitted, then fit the other bolts;
❒using the wrench provided, tighten the fastening
bolts;
❒lower the car and remove the jack;
❒using the wrench provided, fully tighten the bolts
in the sequence shown previously.
Versions with alloy wheels
❒insert the wheel on the hub and using the wrench
provided tighten the bolts;
❒lower the car and remove the jack;
❒using the wrench provided, fully tighten the bolts
in the sequence shown;
❒reinstall the pressure-fitted hub cap, making sure
that the reference hole on the wheel is aligned
with the reference hole on the cap.
IMPORTANT If it is not fitted properly, the hub cap
may detach itself when the vehicle is running.
At the end of operation
❒stow the space-saver wheel in the compartment
provided in the luggage compartment;
❒insert the jack and the other tools in the
container;
❒arrange the container and tools on the space-saver
wheel;
❒correctly reposition the boot mat.

with national and local regulations.
INFLATION PROCEDURE
WARNING
Put on the protective gloves provided
together with quick tyre repair kit .
Proceed as follows:
❒Pull up the handbrake.Unscrew the tyre valve
cap, take out the filler hose A fig. 120 and tighten
the ring nut B on the tyre valve;❒make sure that the compressor switch A fig. 121 is
in position 0 (off ), start the engine, plug into the
power socket in the central tunnel fig. 122 and
operate the compressor turning switch A to
position I (on). Inflate the tyre to the pressure
specified in the "Inflation pressure" paragraph in
the "Technical specifications" section. Check tyre
pressure on gauge B fig. 121 with compressor
off to obtain a more precise reading;
❒if after five minutes it is still impossible to reach at
least 1.8 bar, disengage the compressor from the
valve and power socket, then move the car
forwards by approx. ten metres in order
to distribute the sealing fluid inside the tyre evenly,
then repeat the inflation operation;
❒if after this operation you still cannot reach at least
1.8 bar after 5 minutes from switching on the
compressor, do not resume driving but contact a
Fiat Dealership;

If the pressure has fallen below 1.8 bar,
do not drive any further: the quick
tyre repair kit cannot guarantee the correct
hold because the tyre is too damaged. Contact
a Fiat Dealership.
❒if a pressure value of at least 1.8 bar is detected,
restore the correct pressure (with the engine
running and the handbrake engaged), resume
driving and drive with great care to the nearest
Fiat Dealership.
