REFUELLING THE
VEHICLE
131) 132) 133)
Always stop the engine before
refuelling.
PETROL ENGINES
Use unleaded petrol only, with an
octane number (R.O.N.) no lower than
95. Never introduce even the smallest
amount of leaded petrol, even in the
event of an emergency, in order to
prevent damage to the catalytic
converter.
DIESEL ENGINES
Only use Diesel for motor vehicles (EN
590 specification).
When using or parking the car for a
long time in the mountains or cold
areas, it is advisable to refuel using
locally available diesel. In this case, it is
also advisable to keep the tank over
50% full.REFUELLING
PROCEDURE
46)
Diesel and petrol versions
The refuelling procedure described
below is illustrated on the label B fig. 85
located inside the fuel flap. The label
also indicates the fuel type (UNLEADED
FUEL=petrol, DIESEL=diesel fuel).
To refuel proceed as follows:
❒open the flap A fig. 85 pulling it
outwards;
❒introduce the dispenser in the filler
and refuel;
❒at the end of refuelling, before
removing the dispenser, wait for at least
10 seconds in order for the fuel to
flow inside the tank;
❒then remove the dispenser from the
filler and close flap A.
Flap A fig. 85 is provided with a dust
cover gaiter C which prevents deposits
of impurities and dust at the end of
the filler when the flap is closed.
Emergency refuelling
Proceed as follows:
❒open the luggage compartment and
take the adapter B fig. 86 located in the
tool box (versions equipped with

STARTING AND DRIVING

❒make sure that the compressor
switch is in position 0 (off), start the
engine, plug into the power socket in
the central tunnel 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 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 vehicle
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;
❒after driving for about 10 minutes
stop and check the tyre pressure again;
engage the handbrakeand park
safely;❒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.
WARNING
148)Give the instruction brochure to the
personnel charged with handling the
tyre treated with the quick tyre repair kit.
149)Punctures on the sides of the tyre
cannot be repaired. Do not use the quick
tyre repair kit if the tyre is damaged as
a result of driving with it deflated.
150)If the wheel rim has been damaged
(bent so as to cause air to leak), the wheel
cannot be repaired. Do not remove foreign
bodies (screws or nails) from the tyre.
151)Do not use the compressor for more
than 20 consecutive minutes. Risk of
overheating. Tyres repaired with the quick
tyre repair kit must only be used
temporarily, as the kit is not suitable for a
definitive repair.152)The bottle contains ethylene glycol. It
contains latex that might cause allergic
reactions. It is harmful if swallowed. It
is irritant for the eyes. It may cause
sensitisation if inhaled or on contact. Avoid
contact with eyes, skin and clothes. In
the case of contact, wash immediately with
plenty of water. In the event that it is
swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Rinse
out your mouth, drink large quantities of
water and seek immediate medical
attention. Keep out of the reach of children.
The product must not be used by
asthmatics. Do not inhale the vapours
during insertion and suction. Call a doctor
immediately if allergic reactions are noted.
Store the bottle in its proper compartment,
away from sources of heat. The sealant
has an expiry date. Replace the bottle if the
sealant has expired.
153)Wear the protective gloves provided
together with the quick tyre repair kit.
154)Apply the adhesive label where it can
be easily seen by the driver as a reminder
that the tyre has been treated with the
quick repair kit. Drive carefully, particularly
on bends. Do not exceed 80 km/h. Do
not accelerate or brake suddenly.
155)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.
156)Always indicate that the tyre was
repaired using the quick tyre repair kit. Give
the leaflet to the personnel charged with
handling the tyre treated with the tyre
repair kit.

WARNING
52)Punctures caused by foreign bodies
can be repaired if the damage does not
exceed 4 mm on the tread and on the
shoulder of the tyre.
WARNING
3)Dispose of the bottle and the sealant
properly. Have them disposed of in
compliance with national and local
regulations.
JUMP STARTING
If the battery is flat, a jump starting can
be performed using the battery and
the cables of another vehicle, or using a
booster battery.
IMPORTANT
When a booster battery is used, comply
with the utilisation and precaution
instructions specified by the producer.
Do not use the booster battery or
any other source of external supply with

IN AN EMERGENCY

Versions with Dualogic gearbox
Make sure that the gearbox is in neutral
(N) (checking that the vehicle moves
when pushed) and proceed in the same
way as for towing a normal vehicle
with a manual gearbox. If the gearbox
cannot be put in neutral, do not tow the
vehicle and contact a Fiat Dealership.
Panda Cross and Panda 4x4
versions
The vehicle can only be towed in one of
the following ways (and always with
the engine off, gear set to neutral and
handbrake released):
❒with all the wheels on the road
surface;
❒with the front (or rear) wheels raised
or resting on an emergency vehicle and
the rear (or front) wheels resting on a
specific trolley;❒loaded on the flatbed of the rescue
vehicle with all the wheels on the
flatbed.
IMPORTANT For Panda Cross versions,
the tow hooks A fig. 118 the vehicle is
equipped with can only be used for
towing it in an emergency.
WARNING
160)Before starting towing operations,
turn the ignition key to MAR and then
to STOP, without extracting it. The steering
column will automatically lock when the
key is removed and the wheels cannot be
steered.
161)Before tightening the ring clean the
threaded housing thoroughly. Make sure
that the ring is fully fastened in the housing
before towing the vehicle.162)Whilst towing, remember that as the
assistance of the brake servo and the
electric power steering is not available,
greater force needs to be exerted on the
brake pedal and more effort is required on
the steering wheel. Do not use flexible
cables when towing and avoid jerky
movements. While towing, make sure that
the trailer hitch does not damage any
components it is touching. When towing
the vehicle, you must comply with all
specific traffic regulations, both in terms of
the towing device and behaviour on the
road. Do not start the engine while towing
the vehicle.
163)The front and rear tow hooks should
be used only for emergencies on the road.
You are allowed to tow the vehicle for
short distances using an appropriate
device in accordance with the highway
code (a rigid bar), to move the vehicle on
the road in readiness for towing or
transporting via a breakdown vehicle. Tow
rings MUST NOT be used to tow vehicles
off the road or where there are obstacles
and/or for towing operations using cables
or other non-rigid devices. In compliance
with the above conditions, towing must
take place with the two vehicles (one
towing, the other towed) aligned as much
as possible along the same centre line.
164)Do not use tow hooks for securing the
vehicle on ships.

ENGINE OIL
56) 57)4)
Check the oil level a few minutes (about
five) after the engine has stopped,
with the vehicle parked on level ground.
Check that the oil level is between the
MIN and MAX references on the
dipstick B. If the oil level is near or even
under the MIN mark, add oil using the
filler A to reach the MAX mark.
NOTE For the 0.9 TwinAir and 0.9
TwinAir Turbo versions, engine oil
dipstick B is integral with the cap A.
Take out the engine oil dipstick A, clean
it with a lint-free cloth and reinsert it.
Extract it again and check that the level
is between the MIN and MAX marks
on the dipstick.
Engine oil consumption
The maximum engine oil consumption
is usually 400 grams every 1000 km.
During the initial period of use the
engine oil consumption conditions
should be considered as having
stabilised after the first 5000 - 6000 k m .
IMPORTANT After adding or changing
the oil, let the engine run for a few
seconds and wait a few minutes after
switching it off before checking the
level.ENGINE COOLANT
167)58)
The coolant level must be checked
when the engine is cold and must
range between the MIN and MAX
marks on the reservoir.
If the level is too low, unscrew reservoir
cap C and add the fluid described in
the "Technical Specifications" section.
WINDSCREEN/REAR
WINDOW WASHER FLUID
168)
If the level is too low, raise reservoir cap

60)6)
Battery F does not require topping up
the electrolyte with distilled water. A
periodic check carried out at a Fiat
Dealership is, however, necessary to
check efficiency.
IMPORTANT After the battery is
disconnected, the steering must be
initialised. The
warning light on the
instrument panel switches on to
indicate this. To carry out this
procedure turn the steering wheel all
the way from one end to the other
or drive in a straight line for about a
hundred metres.
IMPORTANT If the charge level remains
under 50% for a long time, the battery
is damaged by sulphation, reducing
its capacity and efficiency at start-up.
CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
