2017 FIAT PANDA ignition

IMPORTANT During parking
manoeuvres requiring a lot of steering,
the steering may become harder; this is
normal and is due to the intervention
of the system to protect the electric
steering motor from overheating so no
intervention is required. When the
vehicle is used again later on,
the power steering will work normally.
WARNING
123)It is absolutely forbidden to carry out
any after-market operation involving
steering system or steering column
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.124)Before servicing the vehicle, switch off
the engine and remove the key from the
ignition switch to activate the steering lock.
This is especially important when the
vehicle wheels are not touching the
ground. If this is not possible (for example if
the key needs to be turned to MAR or the
engine must be running), remove the
main fuse that protects the electric power
steering.
ECO FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
To activate the function press the ECO
button fig. 83.
When the ECO function is active, the
car is set for driving characterised
by reduced fuel consumption. When
the function is active, the
corresponding LED on the button
switches on.
This function stays in the memory and,
when the vehicle is started again, the
system keeps the setting it had before
the engine was stopped. Press the
ECO button again to deactivate the
function and restore the normal driving
setting.

STARTING AND DRIVING

STOP/START
SYSTEM
125) 126)46)
The Stop/Start system automatically
stops the engine when the vehicle
is stationary and starts it again when
the driver wants to move off. This
reduces consumption, the emission of
harmful gases and noise pollution.
OPERATING MODE
Engine stopping mode: with the
vehicle stopped, the engine stops with
gearbox in neutral and clutch pedal
released.
NoteThe engine can only be stopped
automatically after exceeding a speed
of about 10 km/h, to prevent the engine
from being repeatedly stopped when
driving at walking pace.
Restarting the engine: press the
clutch pedal to restart the engine.MANUAL SYSTEM
ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
To activate/deactivate the system
manually, press the
fig. 84 button on
the dashboard control trim.
LED off: system deactivated.
LED on: system deactivated.
WARNING
125)If the battery needs to be replaced,
always contact a Fiat Dealership. The
replacement battery should be of the same
type (HEAVY DUTY) and should have the
same characteristics.126)Before opening the bonnet, make
sure that the engine is off and that the
ignition key is in the STOP position. Please
follow the instructions on the decal near
the front crossmember. We recommend
that you remove the key from the ignition if
other people remain in the vehicle. Exit
from the vehicle only after having removed
the ignition key or having rotated it to the
STOP position. During refuelling, make sure
that the engine is off and that the ignition
key is in the STOP position.
WARNING
46)If climate comfort is to be favoured, the
Stop/Start system can be disabled, for a
continuous operation of the climate control
system.

compressor. When the pressure gauge
F fig. 116 indicates the right pressure
for the car, switch off the compressor
by moving the on-off button A to the
0position. If the pressure gauge F
indicates a pressure lower than 1.8 bar
/ 26 psi 5 minutes after starting the
compressor, switch off the compressor,
disconnect the sealing fluid tube C
(fig. 116) from the tyre valve, retighten
the valve cap and move the car about
10 metres to distribute the sealing
fluid in the tyre. Stop the car safely and
repeat the operation above until the
required pressure is reached. If after
other 5 min. from the compressor
ignition, the pressure gauge F
still indicates a pressure lower than 1.8
bar / 26 psi, the TYRE IS TOO
DAMAGED AND CANNOT BE
REPAIRED. Disconnect, put the kit
back in its compartment and call
roadside assistance.
