2016 FIAT PANDA warning

WARNING
174)Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive: avoid contact with your skin and
eyes. The battery should be charged in a
well ventilated place, away from naked
flames or possible sources of sparks:
danger of explosion and fire.
175)Do not attempt to charge a frozen
battery: it must be thawed first, otherwise it
may explode. If freezing has occurred, the
battery should be checked by skilled
personnel to make sure that the internal
elements are not damaged and that the
body is not cracked, with the risk of leaking
poisonous and corrosive acid.

SPRAY NOZZLES
Windscreen washer
The windscreen washer jets can be
adjusted rotating the side notch with a
screwdriver. If there is no jet of fluid,
firstly check that there is fluid in the
reservoir (see "Checking fluid levels" in
this chapter). Then check that the
nozzle holes are not clogged; use a
needle to unblock them if necessary.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT In versions with a sun
roof, make sure that the sun roof is
closed before operating the window
washer jets.
Rear window washer
The rear window washer jets are fixed.
The nozzle holder is located above
the rear window.
WARNING
176)Driving with worn windscreen/rear
window wiper blades is a serious hazard,
because visibility is reduced in bad
weather.
WARNING
61)Do not operate the windscreen wiper
with the blades lifted from the windscreen.
LIFTING THE
VEHICLE
177)
If the vehicle needs to be jacked up, go
to a Fiat Dealership which is equipped
with workshop jacks and jack arms
fig. 126.
WARNING
177)Lift the vehicle exclusively by
positioning the jack arms or the workshop
jack in the points illustrated.
WHEELS AND TYRES

62) 63) 64) 65)
SUGGESTIONS ABOUT
THE ROTATION OF THE
TYRES
The front and rear tyres are subject to
different loads and stress due to
steering, manoeuvres and braking. For
this reason they are subject to uneven
wear.
To resolve this problem, tyres should be
rotated at the appropriate time. This
operation is recommended for tyres
with a deep tread pattern, suitable both
for on-road and off-road driving.
Tyre rotation contributes to the
preservation of the grip and traction
performance on wet, muddy or snowy
roads, guaranteeing optimal driveability
of the vehicle.
In the case of irregular wear of the
tyres, the reason must be identified and
corrected before rotating them.

179)

WARNING
178)Do not cross switch the tyres if they
are the "unidirectional" type. In this case,
always take care not to fit the tyres with
a direction of rotation that is opposite
to that indicated: you would risk losing grip
and control of the vehicle.
179)Travelling with partially or completely
deflated tyres can cause safety problems
and irremediably damage the tyre.
WARNING
62)Road holding depends also on the
correct tyre inflating pressure.
63)If the pressure is too low the tyre
overheats and this can cause it serious
damage.
64)Do not cross switch the tyres, moving
them from the right of the vehicle to the left
and vice versa.
65)Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the use of
temperatures exceeding 150°C. The
mechanical properties of the wheels could
be impaired.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

SNOW CHAINS
183) 184) 185)66)
Important
The use of snow chains should be in compliance with local regulations of each country. In certain countries, tyres marked with
code M+S (Mud and Snow) are considered as winter equipment; therefore their use is equivalent to that of the snow chains.
The snow chains may be applied only to the front wheel tyres.
Check the tension of the snow chains after the first few metres have been driven.
Using snow chains with tyres with non-original dimensions may damage the vehicle.
Using different size or type (M+S, snow, etc.) tyres between front and rear axle may adversely affect vehicle driveability, with the
risk of losing control of the vehicle and resulting accidents.
Snow chains cannot be fitted to the space-saver wheel (for versions/markets, where provided). If a front tyre is punctured,
replace a rear wheel with the space-saver wheel and move the rear wheel to the front axle. In this way, with two normal drive
wheels at the front, snow chains can be fitted.
154
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
WARNING
180)The maximum speed for snow tyres marked “Q” is 160 km/h, while it is 190 km/h for “T” tyres and 210 km/h for "H" tyres. The highway
code speed limits must however always be complied with.
181)185/55 R15 82T tyres cannot be fitted with chains.
182)175/65 R14 82T tyres can be fitted with reduced size snow chains: 9 mm.
183)175/65 R15 84T tyres can be fitted with reduced size snow chains: 7 mm.
184)Keep your speed down when snow chains are fitted; do not exceed 50 km/h. Avoid potholes, steps and pavements and avoid driving
for long distances on roads not covered with snow to prevent damaging the vehicle and the road surface.
185)DO NOT fit wheel hub caps when using integral hub caps fixed (with springs) to the steel rim and after sale tyres provided with Rim
Protector. Use of unsuitable tyres and wheel caps may cause sudden loss of tyre pressure.
WARNING
66)When the snow chains are on, use the accelerator with extreme care to prevent, or to limit as much as possible, the driving wheels from
skidding. This could cause the chains to break, resulting in damage to the vehicle body or mechanical components.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
WARNING
INTERIOR FITTINGS
❒Never travel with the glove compartment open: it could injure the passenger in the event of a crash.
❒The cigar lighter gets very hot. Handle it carefully and make sure that children do not touch it: risk of fire and/or burns. Always check that
the cigar lighter plug has been released.
ROOF RACK/SKI RACK
❒After travelling for a short distance, check that the fixing screws for the attachments are correctly tightened.
❒Never exceed the maximum permitted loads (see chapter "Technical specifications").
❒Evenly distribute the load and take into account, when driving, the increased responsiveness of the vehicle to side wind.
WIRING FOR RADIO SYSTEM
❒If you wish to have a sound system installed after purchasing the vehicle, first contact a Fiat Dealership whose qualified personnel will give
you advise about a sound system that does not damage the battery charge. Excessive non­running consumption damages the battery and
may cause your battery warranty to be terminated.
PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
❒During normal service, the catalytic converter and the diesel particulate filter (DPF) reach high temperatures. Do not therefore park the
vehicle over inflammable materials (grass, dry leaves, pine needles, etc.): fire hazard.
INTERIORS
❒Never use flammable products, such as petrol ether or rectified petrol to clean the inside of the vehicle. The electrostatic charges which are
generated by rubbing during the cleaning operation may cause a fire.
❒Do not keep aerosol cans in the vehicle: they might explode. Aerosol cans must not be exposed to a temperature exceeding 50°C. When
the vehicle is exposed to sunlight, the internal temperature can greatly exceed this value.
POWER SUPPLY
❒Modifications or repairs to the supply system that are not carried out correctly or do not take the system technical specifications into
account can cause malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.
LOADING ADVICE(Panda VAN versions)
❒Abrupt braking or occasional impacts may cause sudden movements of the load with consequent situations of hazard for the driver and
passengers: before setting off, secure the load tightly using the partition and, where provided, the appropriate hooks. For securing use
cables, ropes or belts strong enough to hold the items to be secured.
