2018 FIAT PANDA wheel

WARNING
116)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine consumes
oxygen and engine exhaust contains
carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and
other toxic gasses.
117)Remember that the power brake and
electrical power steering are not
operational until the engine is started,
therefore a greater effort will be required to
press the brake pedal or turn the steering
wheel.
118)If the engine fails to start with a gear
engaged, the potentially dangerous
situation due to the fact that the gearbox is
automatically placed in neutral will be
signalled by an acoustic signal.
WARNING
38)If the warning lightflashes for 60
seconds after starting or during an
extended towing period, this indicates a
problem in the glow plug pre­heating
system. You can use the vehicle as usual if
the engine starts but you should contact
a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
39)It is advisable not to demand
maximum performance from your car (e.g.
excessive acceleration, long distances at
maximum rpm, excessively intense braking,
etc.) when it is first used.40)When the engine is switched off never
leave the key turned to MAR-ON to prevent
useless current absorption from draining
the battery.
41)Never bump start the engine by
pushing, towing or coasting downhill. This
could cause fuel to flow into the catalytic
converter and damage it beyond repair.
42)There must therefore always be some
petrol in the tank to protect the petrol
pump and to guarantee temporary
switching from LPG or Methane to petrol
operation, if high performance is required.
43)A quick burst on the accelerator
before turning off the engine serves
absolutely no practical purpose, it wastes
fuel and is especially damaging to
turbocharged engines.
WHEN PARKED
When parking and leaving the car,
proceed as follows:
engage a gear (1stgear if facing
uphill or reverse if facing downhill) and
leave the wheels turned;
stop the engine and engage the
handbrake;
always remove the ignition key.
Block the wheels with a wedge or a
stone if the car is parked on a steep
slope.
On versions equipped with Dualogic
transmission, wait for the letter P to be
displayed before releasing the brake
pedal.
IMPORTANT NEVER leave the car with
the gearbox in neutral (or, on versions
equipped with Dualogic transmission,
before placing the gear lever at P).
Handbrake
199) 200) 201)
The handbrake lever is located between
the front seats.
Handbrake engagement: pull lever A
fig. 80 upwards until the vehicle is
braked.
94
STARTING AND DRIVING

Handbrake disengagement: slightly
raise lever A and hold button B
pressed, checking that the
warning
light switches off in the instrument
panel.
WARNING
119)Never leave children unattended in
the car. Always remove the key from the
ignition when leaving the car and take
it with you.
120)The car should be braked after a few
clicks of the lever, if it is not, contact a
Fiat Dealership to have it adjusted.
121)In the case of parking manoeuvres on
roads on a gradient, the front wheels
must be steered towards the pavement
(when parking downhill), or in the opposite
direction if the vehicle is parked uphill.
Block the wheels with a wedge or a stone if
the car is parked on a steep slope.
MANUAL
TRANSMISSION
122)44)
To engage the gears, fully depress the
clutch pedal and put the gear lever
into the required position (the diagram
is shown on the knob fig. 81).
For 0.9 TwinAir, 0.9 TwinAir Turbo and
1.2 8V 69 HP versions, to engage
reverse gear R from neutral, lift the ring
A fig. 81 located under the knob and
at the same time shift the lever to
the right and back.
For 1.3 16V MultiJet version: to engage
reverse gear R from neutral position,
move the lever to the right and then
back.IMPORTANT Reverse can only be
engaged when the car is completely
stationary. With the engine running, wait
for at least 2 seconds with the clutch
pedal fully pressed before engaging
reverse to prevent damage to the gears
and grating.
IMPORTANT The clutch pedal should
be used only for gear changes. Do
not drive with your foot resting on the
clutch pedal, however lightly. For
versions/markets where provided, the
electronic clutch control could cut
in, interpreting the incorrect driving style
as a fault.
WARNING
122)Press the clutch pedal fully to change
gears correctly. It is therefore essential
that there is nothing under the pedals:
make sure the mats are lying flat and do
not get in the way of the pedals.
WARNING
44)Do not drive with your hand resting on
the gear lever as the force exerted, even
if slight, could lead over time to premature
wear of the gearbox internal components.

IMPORTANT When the "Off Road"
mode is activated, the Start&Stop
system is temporarily disabled.
Temporary deactivation of the system
switches on the corresponding LED on
the trim (located on the central
dashboard). To activate the Start&Stop
function, with "Off Road" mode on,
press the
button on the dashboard
trim. However, when the "Off Road"
mode is deactivated, the Start&Stop
system is enabled again.
IMPORTANT When the "Off Road"
mode is activated, the City Brake
Control system is temporarily
deactivated. Temporarily deactivation of
the system results in the switching on
of the
warning light on the
instrument panel. When the "Off Road"
mode is deactivated, the City Brake
Control system is enabled again.
Turning off
To deactivate the "Off Road" mode and
return to the "Auto" mode, rotate the
ring nut to the left and hold in this
position for half a second. In this case,
the LED corresponding to “Auto” mode
will light up and the “Off Road” mode
deactivation indication will appear
on the display.IMPORTANT If “Off Road” or “Auto”
mode was active when the engine was
stopped, the next time it is started
the mode that was selected is
reactivated.
"GRAVITY CONTROL"
FUNCTION
This driving function permits a constant
vehicle speed to be maintained
downhill.
On/Off
For engaging/disengaging the Gravity
Control function refer to the "Active
safety systems" paragraph in the
"Safety" chapter.
FAILURE OF THE MODE
SELECTOR SYSTEM
IMPORTANT In the event of system
failure or a fault with knob, no driving
modes can be selected. The display will
show a dedicated message.
IMPORTANT In this case it is not
advisable trying to drive down roads
with a steep gradient, the system
cannot help the driver in any way.
DUALDRIVE
ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING
123) 124)
This only operates with the key turned
to MAR and the engine started. The
steering allows the force required at the
steering wheel to be adjusted to suit
driving conditions.
IMPORTANT When turning the ignition
key quickly, full power steering
functionality can be achieved after a
few seconds.
CITY FUNCTION
ACTIVATION/
DEACTIVATION
Press the CITY fig. 85 button to
activate/deactivate the function. The
activation of the function is signalled by
the word CITY on the display (in some
versions it is signalled by the word CITY
appearing on the instrument panel).
When the CITY function is on, the
steering wheel effort is lighter, making
parking easier: therefore, this function is
particularly useful for driving in city
centres.
98
STARTING AND DRIVING

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. 86.
When the ECO function is active, the
vehicle is set for a driving style
characterised by reduced fuel
consumption. When the function is on,
the corresponding LED on the button
lights.
This function is stored, so 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.
