2017 FIAT PANDA sensor

PARKING SENSORS
127)47)
SENSORS
The sensors are located in the rear
bumper fig. 85 and their function is to
detect the presence of any obstacles
near the rear part of the vehicle and
inform the driver, through an
intermittent acoustic signal.
ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated
when reverse is engaged. As the
obstacle behind the vehicle gets closer,
the acoustic signal becomes more
frequent.OPERATION WITH A
TRAILER
Sensor operation is automatically
deactivated when the trailer's electric
cable plug is fitted in the vehicle's
tow hook socket. The sensors are
automatically reactivated when the
trailer's cable plug is removed.
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
When parking, take the utmost care
over obstacles that may be above
or under the sensor.
Objects close to the vehicle are not
detected under certain circumstances
and could therefore cause damage
to the vehicle or be damaged.
The following conditions may influence
the performance of the parking
assistance system:
the presence of ice, snow, mud or
multiple layers of paint on the surface of
the sensor may reduce its sensitivity
and the system performance;
mechanical interference (e.g.
washing the vehicle, rain, strong wind,
hail) may cause the sensor to detect
a non-existent obstacle ("echo
interference");
the presence of ultrasonic systems
(e.g. pneumatic brake systems of
trucks or pneumatic drills) near the
vehicle could alter the signals sent to
the sensor;
the variation in sensor position,
caused by variation in ride (due
to suspension or shock absorber wear),
changing tyres, overloaded vehicle, or
tuning that lowers the vehicle, for
example, may affect parking sensor
system performance;
the presence of a tow hook without
trailer interferes with the correct
operation of the parking sensors. If a
fixed tow hook is installed, the sensors
cannot be used. If the customer installs
a removable tow hook, this must
always be disconnected from
the crossmember whenever the trailer
is not attached to prevent the activation
of the sensors.

STARTING AND DRIVING

WARNING
127)The responsibility for parking and
other dangerous manoeuvres always and
in every case lies with the driver. While
carrying out these manoeuvres, always
make sure that no people (especially
children) or animals are in the area
concerned. The parking sensors are used
to assist the driver, who must never allow
his attention to lapse during potentially
dangerous manoeuvres, even those
executed at low speeds.
WARNING
47)The sensors must be clean of mud,
dirt, snow or ice in order for the system to
operate correctly. Be careful not to scratch
or damage the sensors while cleaning
them. Avoid using dry, rough or hard
cloths. The sensors must be washed using
clean water, with the addition of vehicle
shampoo if necessary. When using special
washing equipment such as high pressure
jets or steam cleaning, clean the sensors
very quickly keeping the jet more than
10 cm away.
REFUELLING THE
VEHICLE
128) 129) 130)
Always stop the engine before
refuelling.
PETROL ENGINES
Only use unleaded petrol, with an
octane number (R.O.N.) not lower than
95. In order to prevent damage to the
catalytic converter never introduce even
the smallest amount of leaded petrol,
even in the event of an emergency.
DIESEL ENGINES
Only use Diesel for motor vehicles
(EN590 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
48)
Diesel and petrol versions
The refuelling procedure described
below is illustrated on the label B fig. 86
located inside the fuel flap. The label
also indicates the fuel type (UNLEADED
FUEL=petrol, DIESEL=diesel fuel).To refuel proceed as follows:
open flap A fig. 86, pulling it
outwards;
introduce the dispenser in the filler
and refuel;
after 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.

BATTERY
RECHARGING
156) 157)
IMPORTANT After turning the ignition
key to STOP and having closed the
driver's side door, wait at least one
minute before disconnecting and then
reconnecting the battery electrical
supply.
IMPORTANT Charging should be slow
at a low ampere rating for
approximately 24 hours. Charging for a
longer time may damage the battery.
IMPORTANT The cables of the
electrical system must be correctly
reconnected to the battery, i.e. the
positive cable (+) to the positive
terminal and the negative cable (–) to
the negative terminal. The battery
terminals are marked with the positive
(+) and negative (–) symbols, and are
shown on the battery cover. The battery
terminals must also be corrosion-free.
IMPORTANT If a "quick-type" battery
charger is used with the battery fitted
on the vehicle, before connecting it
disconnect both cables of the battery
itself. Do not use a "quick-type" battery
charger to provide the starting voltage.IMPORTANT The battery recharging
procedure is given as information only.
You are advised to contact a Fiat
Dealership to have this operation
performed.
VERSIONS WITHOUT
Start&Stop SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Charge the battery as follows:
disconnect the negative battery
terminal;
connect the charger cables to the
battery terminals, observing the polarity;
turn on the charger;
when it is recharged, turn the
charger off before disconnecting it from
the battery;
reconnect the negative battery
terminal.
VERSIONS WITH
Stop/Start SYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
To recharge, proceed as follows:
disconnect the connector A fig. 122
(pressing the button B) from the sensor
C monitoring the battery conditions,
on the negative pole D of the battery;
connect the positive cable of the
battery charger to the positive battery
pole E and the negative cable to the
terminal of sensor D;
turn on the battery charger. At the
end of the charging process, switch the
battery charger off;
after having disconnected the
charging device, reconnect the
connector A to the sensor C.
