2017 FIAT PANDA warning

WARNING
2)The fabric upholstery of the seats has
been designed to withstand long-term
wear deriving from normal use of the car.
Some precautions are however required.
Avoid prolonged and/or excessive rubbing
against clothing accessories such as
metal buckles and Velcro strips which, by
applying a high pressure on the fabric in
a small area, could cause it to break,
thereby damaging the upholstery.
3)Before tilting the backrest, remove any
objects on the seat cushion.

restraint until it clicks into place.
Downwards adjustment: press
button A fig. 10 and lower the head
restraint.
"Anti-Whiplash" device
The head restraints are equipped with
an "Anti-Whiplash" device, which
reduces the distance between head
and head restraint in the event of a rear
impact, thus mitigating the "whiplash"
effect.
The head restraint may move when the
backrest is pressed by the occupant’s
torso or hand: this behaviour is caused
by the system and should not be
considered a malfunction.REAR HEAD RESTRAINTS
Upwards adjustment: raise the head
restraint until it clicks into place.
Downwards adjustment: press
button A fig. 11 and lower the head
restraint.
IMPORTANT If the rear seats are used,
always set the head restraints in the
"completely raised" position.
Removal
Proceed as follows to remove the head
restraints:
raise the head restraints to their
maximum height;
press buttons A and B fig. 11 at the
side of the two supports, then remove
the head restraints by pulling them
upwards.

vehicle stationary. Head restraints must
be adjusted so that the head, rather than
the neck, rests on them. Only in this case

restraint's protective action, adjust the
backrest so that your torso is upright and
keep your head as close as possible to the
head restraint.

modifications (e.g. installation of anti-theft
device) that could adversely affect
performance and safety, invalidate the
warranty and also result in non-compliance
of the vehicle with type-approval
requirements.

+distribution between footwell diffusers and windscreen/front side window vents. This type of distribution achieves
effective heating of the passenger compartment and prevents the windows from misting up.
IMPORTANT In warm-humid weather conditions, using cold air on the windscreen may cause external condensation, which
could limit visibility.
E - Turns on/off the MAX-DEF function (fast front window defrosting/demisting).
F - Turns on/off the air conditioning compressor.
G - Turns on/off the internal air recirculation.
H - Turns on/off the air conditioning.
F - Turns on/off the heated rear window and (for versions/markets, where available) the heated mirrors/heated windscreen.
L/M - Adjusts the fan speed.
The automatic climate control manages the Start&Stop function (engine off when the car speed is zero) to guarantee a suitable
comfort inside the passenger compartment.
NOTE In particularly severe climate conditions it is recommended to limit the use of the Start&Stop function to prevent the
compressor from continuously switching on and off, with consequent rapid misting of the windows and accumulation of
humidity with unpleasant smells in the passenger compartment.
WARNING
18)It is advisable not to use the internal air recirculation function when the outside temperature is low, because the windows could mist
rapidly.
WARNING
2)The system uses a coolant that is compatible with the laws in force in countries where the vehicle is sold, R134a or R1234yf. In case of a
recharge operation, only use the gas indicated on the label placed in the engine compartment. The use of other coolants affects the efficiency
and condition of the system. The lubricant used for the compressor is also strictly linked to the type of cooling gas, please refer to a Fiat
Dealership.
