WARNING
28)Take care not to knock objects on the
roof rack when opening the tailgate.
29)With the engine on, always make sure
that the tailgate is closed: exhaust gases
could be drawn inside the load
compartment.
30)Every attachment has a maximum load
capacity of 100 kg.
31)A heavy load that has not been
secured may cause serious injuries in the
event of an accident.
32)If you are travelling in an area with
limited opportunities for vehicle refuelling
and you wish to bring petrol with you in
a petrol can, you must do so in compliance
with current regulations and using an
approved can, appropriately secured to the
load securing attachments. Anyway, by
doing so, you increase the risk of fire in the
event of an accident with your vehicle.
VERSION WITH LPG
SYSTEM
33) 34) 13)9) 10) 11) 12)
INTRODUCTION
The LPG version features two fuel
supply systems: one for petrol and one
for LPG.
Although the LPG system has
numerous safety features, it is advisable
to proceed as follows every time the
vehicle is not in use for a long period or
moved in an emergency as a result of
a breakdown or accident:
❒unscrew the fixing devices A fig. 36,
then remove the cover B;
❒close the LPG cock by rotating the
ring nut C fig. 37 clockwise;
❒refit the cover and retighten the
fastening devices.LPG TANK
13)The vehicle has a (pressurised) tank A
fig. 38 for collecting LPG in a liquid
state. It is ring-shaped and is located in
the spare wheel compartment with
suitable protection.

LPG tank certification
The LPG tank is certified in accordance
with the regulations in force.
In Italy, the tank has a life of 10 years
starting from the vehicle registration
date. If the vehicle has been registered
in a country other than Italy, the
duration and the testing/inspection
procedures of the LPG tank can vary
depending on the national laws of that
country. In any case, when the time limit
in the individual country has run out,
contact a Fiat Dealership to have the
tank replaced.
SELECTION OF
PETROL/LPG SUPPLY
TYPE
35)14) 15) 16)The (petrol/LPG switch) button A fig. 39
allows drivers to select petrol or LPG
operation.To guarantee switching in absolute
safety, the actual change to the chosen
fuel system takes place depending on
the car usage conditions. It may not
therefore be immediate.
Switching is confirmed by the switching
on/off of the green warning light
on
the instrument panel.
If the LPG runs out, switching to petrol
takes place automatically. In this case
the display shows the
icon just
above wording LPG and the four bars
of the digital gauge turn off.
SUPPLIES
17) 18)
LPG
Maximum refuelling capacity (reserve
included): 30.5 litres. The figure already
takes into account the 80% tank filling
limit and the residual fluid required
for correct priming and it is the
maximum permitted capacity. In
addition, after different refuelling
processes, this figure may vary due to
differences between the network pump
supply pressures, pumps having
different supply/locking features, tank
not completely run out of fuel.
WARNING
33)It should be pointed out that in some
countries (including Italy) there are legal
restrictions in force for parking/garaging
motor vehicles with gas that has a higher
density than air; LPG comes under this
category.
34)Modifications or repairs to the fuel
system that are not carried out correctly or
do not take the system technical
specifications into account can cause
malfunctions leading to a fire risk.
35)Do not switch between the two
operating modes whilst starting the engine.
WARNING
9)The system operates at temperatures
ranging between −20 °C and 100 °C.
10)If, during LPG operation, the same runs
out, the vehicle switches to petrol
automatically and all the bars of the digital
gauge on the display switch off; this
displaying remains until the following LPG
refuelling.

11)The vehicle is equipped with a gaseous
LPG injection system designed specifically
for it: it is therefore absolutely forbidden
to alter the configuration of the system or
its components. The use of other
components or materials could cause
malfunctions and lead to a reduction in
safety; therefore, in the case of problems,
contact a Fiat Dealership. To prevent
damage to the gas system parts when
towing or raising the vehicle, follow the
instructions in the "Towing the vehicle"
paragraph of the Owner Handbook.
12)When painting in an oven, the LPG
tank must be removed from the vehicle and
later refitted by a Fiat Dealership. Although
the LPG system has numerous safety
features, it is advisable to proceed
as follows every time the vehicle is not in
use for a long period or moved in an
emergency as a result of a breakdown or
accident: unscrew the fastening devices A
fig. 36, then remove the cover B. Close
the LPG cock rotating the ring nut C fig. 38
clockwise. Refit the cover and retighten
the fastening devices.
13)Periodically (at least once every six
months), it is advisable to let the LPG in the
tank run out and, at the next refuelling,
check that it does not exceed the
maximum capacity of 30.5 litres (reserve
included) (with a tolerance of 2 litres
excess) (see instructions in the "Capacities"
paragraph of this Supplement). If the level
is above 30.5 litres (reserve included)
contact a Fiat Dealership immediately.
14)Regardless of the last fuel system
used, at the following engine starting, after
the initial petrol stage, the system will
automatically switch to LPG.15)When switching from petrol to LPG is
requested, a metal noise from the valves
which pressurise the circuit can be heard.
As a result of the switching logic described
above, the delay between the ticking of
the valve and the switching off of the green
warning light
on the instrument panel
is entirely normal.
16)In particular usage conditions, such as
starting and operation at low ambient
temperature or LPG supply with low
propane content, the system may switch
temporarily to petrol operation, without
an indication of switching on the instrument
panel. In the event of low LPG levels in
the tank or request for high performance
(e.g. overtaking, vehicle fully laden, steep
hills), the system may automatically switch
to petrol operation to guarantee the engine
power requested; the green warning light
on the instrument panel switches on
to indicate this. When the above conditions
are no longer present, the system
automatically restores LPG operation; the
green warning light
switches off. To
achieve the automatic switching described
above, make sure that there is always
enough fuel in the petrol tank.
17)Only use LPG for motor vehicles.
18)It is strictly forbidden to use any
additive in the LPG.
VERSION WITH
METHANE SYSTEM
(Natural Power)

TOWING TRAILERS
128) 129)
IMPORTANT
For towing motorhomes or trailers the
vehicle must be fitted with an approved
tow hook and an adequate electrical
system. Installation must be carried out
by a specialist.
Install any specific and/or additional
door mirrors as specified by the
Highway Code.
Remember that when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, braking
distances increase and overtaking
takes longer depending on the overall
weight of the trailer.
Engage a low gear when driving
downhill, rather than constantly using
the brake.
The weight the trailer exerts on the
vehicle tow hook reduces the vehicle's
loading capacity by the same amount.
To make sure that the maximum
towable weight is not exceeded (given
in the vehicle registration document)
account should be taken of the fully
laden trailer, including accessories and
luggage.
Do not exceed the speed limits specific
to each country you are driving in, in
the case of vehicles towing trailers.
In any case, the top speed must not
exceed 100 km/h.An electric brake (or electric winch)
should be supplied directly by the
battery through a cable with a cross
section of no less than 2.5 mm2.
In addition to the electrical branches,
the vehicle electrical system can only
be connected to the supply cable for an
electric brake and to the cable for an
internal light for the trailer, not
exceeding 15 W. For connections, use
the preset control unit with a battery
cable with section not less than 2.5
mm2.
On Panda Cross and Panda 4x4
versions, in the event of prolonged
vehicle use at maximum tow capacity
on slopes, replacing engine oil more
frequently (every 10,000 km) is
advisable.
IMPORTANT The use of auxiliary loads
other than external lights (electric brake,
winch, etc.) must be used with engine
running.
IMPORTANT To install a tow hook
contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
128)The ABS with which the vehicle is
equipped will not control the braking
system of the trailer. Particular caution is
required on slippery roads.
129)Never modify the braking system of
the vehicle to control the trailer brake.
The trailer braking system must be fully
independent of the vehicle’s hydraulic
system.
REFUELLING THE
VEHICLE
130) 131) 132)Always stop the engine before
refuelling.
PETROL ENGINES
Use unleaded petrol only, with an
octane number (R.O.N.) no lower than
95. Never introduce even the smallest
amount of leaded petrol, even in the
event of an emergency, in order to
prevent damage to the catalytic
converter.
DIESEL ENGINES
Only use Diesel for motor vehicles (EN
590 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.
