2014 FIAT PANDA maintenance schedule

ESSENTIAL INFORMATION!REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol
with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in
compliance with the European specification
EN228.
The use of petrol that does not conform to the
above-mentioned specification will cause the
EOBD warning light to switch on and the
irregular operation of the engine.
Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel for
motor vehicles in compliance with the European
specification EN590. The use of other products
or mixtures may damage the engine beyond
repair and consequently invalidate the warranty.
STARTING THE ENGINEMake sure that the handbrake is engaged; place
the gear lever in neutral. Fully depress the clutch
pedal, without pressing the accelerator, then
turn the ignition key to MAR-ON and wait for
the
warning light to switch off (and
warning light for diesel versions); turn the
ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as
the engine starts.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high
temperatures during operation. Do not park the
car on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other
flammable material: fire hazard.RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The car is fitted with a system that allows
continuous diagnosis of the components related
to emissions to ensure increased respect for
the environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIESIf, after buying the car, you decide to add
electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually
draining the battery), contact a Fiat Dealership.
They will calculate the overall electrical
requirement and check that the car’s electrical
system can support the required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICINGCorrect maintenance of the car is essential for
ensuring that it maintains its performance and its
safety features, its environmental friendliness
and low running costs for a long time to come.
THE OWNER MANUAL CONTAINS…… important information, advice and warnings
for correct use, driving safety and maintenance of
your car over time. Special attention must be
paid to the symbols provided
(personal safety)
(environmental protection)
(car integrity).

To set the desired volume, proceed as follows:
❒press the
button briefly, making the display flash
the previously set volume level;
❒press the
or
button to select;
❒press the
button briefly to return to the menu
screen or hold the button down to return to the
standard screen without storing.
Belt buzzer (Buzzer activation for SBR
indication)(for versions/markets, where provided)
This function can only be displayed after a Fiat
Dealership has deactivated the SBR system (see "SBR
system" in the "Safety" chapter).
Service (Scheduled servicing)
Using this function you can display information about
the mileage or daily intervals for car servicing. With
the Service function it is also possible to view the
interval (in kilometres or miles) before the next
engine oil change is due.
To consult this information, proceed as follows:
❒briefly press the
button, which makes the display
show the service interval in kilometres (km) or
miles (mi) according to the previous setting (see
"Distance measurement units" paragraph);
❒press the
button briefly to return to the menu
screen or hold it down to return to the standard
screen.NoteThe “Scheduled Servicing Plan” requires the
car to be serviced every 30,000 km (or 18,000 miles)
for petrol versions and every 35,000 km (or 21,000
miles) for diesel versions. This message is displayed
automatically when the key is turned to MAR-ON,
starting at 2,000 km (or equivalent value in miles)
from when the next service is due and reappearing
every 200 km (or equivalent value in miles). Below
200 km servicing indications are more frequent. The
display will be in km or mi depending on the
measurement unit settings. When the next
scheduled service is approaching and the key is
turned to MAR, the word “Service” will appear on
the display, followed by the number of kilometres or
miles left before servicing is due. Go to a Fiat
Dealership, where the "Scheduled Servicing Plan"
operations will be performed and the message will
be reset.
Airbag/Passenger bag (Passenger side front
airbag and side bag (chest & pelvis protection
- for versions/markets, where provided)
activation/deactivation)
This function allows the passenger side airbag to be
activated/deactivated.
Proceed as follows:
❒press the
button and, after the message "Bag
pass: Off" (to deactivate) or "Bag pass: On" (to
activate) is displayed by pressing buttons
and
, press the
button again;
❒a confirmation message will appear on the display;

SAVING FUELHere are some suggestions which can help you to
save fuel and lower harmful emissions.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Car maintenance
Have checks and adjustments carried out in
accordance with the “Scheduled Servicing Plan”.
Ty r e s
Check the tyre pressures at least once every 4
weeks: if the pressure is too low, consumption levels
increase as resistance to rolling is higher.
Unnecessary loads
Do not travel with an overloaded boot. The weight
of the car and its arrangement greatly affect fuel
consumption and stability.
Roof rack/ski rack
Remove the roof rack or the ski rack from the roof
after use. These accessories lower aerodynamic
penetration and adversely affect consumption levels.
When transporting particularly large objects, use a
trailer if possible.Electrical devices
Only use electrical devices for the amount of time
needed. The heated rear window, additional
headlights, windscreen wipers and heater fan need a
considerable amount of energy, therefore increasing
fuel consumption (by up to 25% in the urban cycle).
Climate control system
The use of the climate control system leads to higher
fuel consumption. If the temperature outside
permits, try to use ventilation only.
Devices for aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified devices for aerodynamic
control may adversely affect air drag and fuel
consumption.
DRIVING STYLE
Starting
Do not warm the engine with the car at a standstill
or at idle or high speed: under these conditions
the engine warms up much more slowly, increasing
consumption and emissions. It is therefore advisable
to move off immediately, slowly, avoiding high speeds:
in this way the engine will warm up more quickly.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICINGCorrect servicing is essential in guaranteeing a long
life for the car under the best conditions.
Fiat has therefore arranged a series of checks and
service operations to be carried out every 30,000
kilometres (for petrol versions) or every 35,000
kilometres (for diesel versions).
Check the items on the Scheduled Servicing Plan
(e.g. periodically check level of liquids, tyre pressure,
etc.) before 30,000/35,000 km and between these
services deadlines.
Scheduled Servicing is offered by all Fiat Dealerships
according to a set time schedule. If, during each
operation, in addition to the ones scheduled, the
need arises for further replacements or repairs,these may be carried out only with the explicit
agreement of the Customer. If your car is
used frequently for towing, the interval between one
service operation and the next should be reduced.
WARNING
At 2,000 km from the next service operation the
display will show a message.
The Scheduled Services intervals are set out by the
Manufacturer. Failure to have them carried out
may invalidate the warranty.
It is advisable to inform a Fiat Dealership of any small
operating irregularities without waiting for the next
service.
