2015 FIAT PANDA turn signal

The activation of the ELD system
involves the following functions being
switched on:
❒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
improve drive on uneven surfaces.
Enabling the system
To arrange operation of the ELD system
press button A fig. 47 (4x4 versions)
or turn the ring nut fig. 48 to the right
(Cross versions) and keep it in this
position until LED 2 on the selector
lights up.
System intervention
The
warning light on the instrument
panel flashes to signal that the system
has intervened.If the space-saver wheel is used
If the space-saver wheel is used, the
control unit for 4x4 drive detects its
presence (via the wheel speed signals)
and reduces the intervention of the
four-wheel drive mode to a minimum,
while guaranteeing the agility of the
vehicle. No fault/alarm signal is
displayed on the instrument panel or on
the display.
Disabling the system
To disable the system, press button A
fig. 47 (4x4 versions) or turn the ring nut
fig. 48 to the left (Cross versions) and
keep it in this position until LED 1
on the selector lights up.HDC (Hill Descent
Control) SYSTEM
(Panda Cross versions)
It is an integral part of the ESC system
and is aimed at keeping the vehicle at a
constant speed during a descent,
operating autonomously on the brakes
in various ways at the same time. In this
way the HDC function helps the driver
when facing steep gradient roads in
low-grip and/or rough ground
conditions.
Noise and vibrations coming from the
wheel sides (brakes) when the HDC
system is activated are normal.
IMPORTANT The system does not
relieve the driver of the responsibility of
controlling the vehicle and does not
replace attention while driving. The
driver of the vehicle takes the complete
responsibility for the consequences of
their actions and of an incorrect and not
responsible use of the vehicle.
Enabling the system
To arrange operation of the HDC
system, turn ring nut fig. 49, with LED 2
on, to the right, and keep it in this
position until LED 3 on the selector
lights up. Thewarning light comes
on in the instrument panel and the
dedicated message is displayed.

If the Reset procedure is not carried
out, in all above cases, the
warning
light may give false indications on
one or more tyres.
To carry out the RESET procedure, with
the vehicle stopped and the ignition
device at MAR, use the Main Menu as
follows:
❒briefly press
button: the display will
show Reset;
❒press
button orto select
(“Yes” or “No”);
❒briefly press the
button: the
display will show "Confirm";
❒press
button orto select
("Yes" to reset or "No" to exit the video
page);
❒hold the
button down again to
return to the standard screen or to the
main menu according to where you
are in the menu.
At the end of the Reset procedure the
display will show the "Reset saved"
message, indicating that the self-
learning has been started.Working conditions
The system is active for speeds above
15 km/h.
In a few situations such as sporty
driving, particular conditions of the road
surface (e.g. icy, snowy, unsurfaced
roads...) the signalling may be delayed
or partial in detecting the contemporary
deflation of more than one tyre.
Under special conditions (e.g. vehicle
loaded asymmetrically on one side,
towing a trailer, damaged or worn tyre,
fitting the space-saver wheel, use of the
"Fix&Go Automatic" kit, fitting snow
chains, fitting different tyres on the
axles) the system may give false
indications or be temporarily
deactivated.
If the system is temporarily deactivated
the
warning light flashes for about
75 seconds and then is continuously
on; at the same time, the display shows
a dedicated message.
This indication is displayed also after
the engine has been switched off and
then on again if the correct operating
conditions are not restored.
WARNING
70)The system is an aid for the driver, who
must always pay full attention while
driving. The responsibility always rests with
the driver, who must take into account
the traffic conditions in order to drive
in complete safety. The driver must always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle
in front.
71)If the driver depresses the brake pedal
fully or carries out a fast steering during
system operation, the automatic braking
function may stop (e.g. to allow a possible
manoeuvre to avoid the obstacle).
72)The laser beam is not visible at the
naked eye. Do not look directly, or with
optical instruments (e.g. lenses), at the
laser beam from a distance lower than 10
cm: this may cause damage to the sight.
The laser beam is also present when
the key is at MAR but its operation is off,
not available or manually deactivated
with the display Setup Menu.
73)The system intervenes on vehicles
travelling in the same lane. Small sized
vehicles (e.g. bicycles or motorbikes)
or people, animals and things (e.g.
pushchairs) and more in general all those
obstacles with a low reflection of the light
emitted by the laser (e.g. vehicles soiled
with mud) are not taken into consideration.

With driver and/or passenger side (with
passenger present) seat belts
unfastened, when 20 km/h are
exceeded or when travelling at a speed
between 10 and 20 km/h for longer
than 5 seconds, an acoustic signal
cycle will be started for the front seats
(continuous acoustic signal for 6
seconds followed by a 90 second
beep) and the warning light will flash.
Once the cycle is complete, the
warning lights stay on with a fixed light
until the vehicle is turned off or the
seat belt fastened.
If the seat belt is unfastened again while
travelling, the acoustic warning restarts
as described previously and the
icon
is displayed.
For the rear seats, the reminder cycle is
only activated when any seat belt is
unfastened together with an acoustic
warning (three beeps). If the condition
of any (front or rear) seat belt changes,
also the condition of the other
(front/rear) seat belts is reported.
The visual indication (display of the
icon) will start and stop
independently for each warning light if
several seat belts are unfastened.
The visual indication will change
condition (display of the
icon) after
the corresponding seat belt has been
fastened again.IMPORTANT When the ignition key is
turned to MAR, if all the front and
rear belts are already fastened the
warning lights will be displayed for
30 seconds.

WARNING
119)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine takes in
oxygen and releases carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.
120)Remember that the brake servo
and power steering are not operational until
the engine has been started, therefore
you need to apply much more force than
usual to the brake pedal and steering
wheel.
121)If the engine fails to start with a gear
engaged, the potentially dangerous
situation due to the fact that the gearbox is
automatically placed in neutral will be
signalled by an acoustic signal.
WARNING
36)If the warning lightflashes for 60
seconds after starting or during an
extended towing period, this indicates a
problem in the glow plug pre­heating
system. You can use the vehicle as usual if
the engine starts but you should contact
a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
37)It is advisable not to demand maximum
performance from your vehicle (e.g.
excessive acceleration, long distances at
maximum rpm, excessively intense braking,
etc.) when it is first used.
38)When the engine is off, do not leave
the key turned to MAR to prevent
unnecessary electrical consumption from
draining the battery.39)Never bump start the engine by
pushing, towing or coasting downhill. This
could cause fuel to flow into the catalytic
converter and damage it beyond repair.
40)There must therefore always be some
petrol in the tank to protect the petrol
pump and to guarantee temporary
switching from LPG or Methane to petrol
operation, if high performance is required.
41)A quick burst on the accelerator
before stopping the engine serves no
practical purpose; it wastes fuel and is
especially damaging to turbocharged
engines.
HANDBRAKE
122) 123) 124)
The handbrake lever is located between
the two front seats.
Handbrake engagement: pull lever A
fig. 78 upwards until the vehicle is
braked.
Handbrake disengagement: slightly
raise lever A and hold button B pressed
checking that the
warning light
switches off in the instrument panel.

make the call, say "Ye s"; otherwise, say
"No".
If, on the other hand, there are several
phone numbers for John, the system
will ask which one you wish to call
(for example, "Call John work
or home?"). Respond by indicating
which number you want to call (for
example, "Home").If John has several phone numbers but
the type of phone number is missing,
the system will display the selected
contact and a list of related phone
numbers. The hands-free system will
ask if you would like to call the phone
number displayed. If the number
displayed is the one you wish to call,
say "Ye s"; otherwise, say “No". If
the person to contact is the correct
one, but the number is wrong, say
"Forward"or"Back" to see the other
phone numbers for this person.
To call the number displayed, say
"Call". You can also navigate through
this list manually by turning the right

189)IMPORTANT: looking at the system
when driving can divert attention from
the road, with the risk of accidents or other
serious consequences. Do not change
system settings or enter data non-verbally
(using the manual controls) while driving.
Stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner
before carrying out these operations. This
is important since while setting up or
changing some functions your attention
may be distracted from the road and you
may have to remove your hands from
the wheel.
190)Voice commands: the system
functions can be carried out using only
voice commands. The use of voice control
commands when driving allows the system
to be managed without taking your hands
off the steering wheel.
191)Looking at the display for a long time:
while driving, do not use any function that
requires looking at the display for a long
time. Pull over in a safe and legal manner
before attempting to access a function
of the system that requires prolonged
attention. Even occasional short glances at
the display may be hazardous if your
attention is diverted from driving at a critical
moment.
192)Setting the volume: do not turn the
volume up too high. Keep the volume at a
level where you can still hear outside traffic
and emergency signals while driving.
Driving without being able to hear these
sounds can cause accidents.193)Using the voice recognition: the voice
recognition software is based on a
statistical process that is subject to error. It
is your responsibility to monitor the
system's voice recognition functions and to
correct any errors.
194)Danger of distraction: the functions
may require manual settings (not using
voice commands). Performing these
settings or entering data when driving can
distract you significantly, causing accidents
or having other serious consequences.
Stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner
before attempting these operations.
