cooling FIAT PANDA 2018 Owner handbook (in English)

towards the footwell diffusers. Due to the natural tendency of heat to spread upwards, this type of distribution warms the
passenger compartment up as quickly as possible, providing an immediate feeling of warmth.
+distribution between feet area diffusers (warmest air) and dashboard diffusers (coolest air).
+distribution between feet area diffusers and windscreen/front side window diffusers. 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 - Climate control on/off.
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 air recirculation function when the outside temperature is low to prevent the windows from rapidly misting up.
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. When
charging, only use the gas indicated on the dedicated plate 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.

KNOWING YOUR CAR

IMPORTANT After the battery is
disconnected, the steering must be
initialised. The
warning light on the
instrument panel switches on to
indicate this. To carry out this
procedure turn the steering wheel all
the way from one end to the other
or drive in a straight line for about a
hundred metres.
IMPORTANT If the charge level remains
under 50% for a long time, the battery
is damaged by sulphation, reducing
its capacity and efficiency at start-up.
CLIMATE CONTROL
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
In winter, the climate control system
must be turned on at least once a
month for about 10 minutes. Before
summer, have the system checked at a
Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
161)Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: gas and inflammable
vapours may be present, with the risk of
fire.
162)Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine
is hot: you may get burned.163)The cooling system is pressurised. If
necessary, only replace the plug with
another original or the operation of the
system may be adversely affected. Do not
remove the reservoir plug when the engine
is hot: you risk scalding yourself.
164)Do not travel with the windscreen
washer fluid reservoir empty: the
windscreen washer is essential for
improving visibility. Some commercial
windscreen washer additives are
flammable. The engine compartment
contains hot components which may set it
on fire.
165)Brake fluid is poisonous and highly
corrosive. In the event of accidental
contact, immediately wash the affected
parts with water and mild soap. Then rinse
thoroughly. Call a doctor immediately if
swallowed.
166)The symbol
, on the brake fluid
container indicates if a brake fluid is
synthetic or mineral­based. Use of mineral
type fluids will damage the special rubber
seals of the braking system beyond repair.
167)Battery fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with the skin and
eyes. Keep naked flames and sources
of sparks away from the battery: risk of
explosion and fire.
168)Using the battery with insufficient
fluid irreparably damages the battery and
may cause an explosion.
169)If the car will be unused for an
extended period of time in extremely cold
weather conditions, remove the battery
and store it in a heated area to prevent it
from freezing.170)Always wear appropriate goggles
when working on or near the battery.
WARNING
58)Be careful not to confuse the various
types of fluids while topping up: they
are not compatible with each other!
Topping up with an unsuitable fluid could
severely damage your car.
59)The oil level must never exceed the
MAX reference.
60)Do not add oil with specifications other
than those of the oil already existing in
the engine.
61)PARAFLU
UPantifreeze is used in the
engine cooling system. Use the same fluid
as in the cooling system when topping
up. PARAFLU
UPfluid cannot be mixed
with any other type of fluid. If this occurs,
do not start the engine and contact your
Fiat Dealership immediately.
62)Prevent brake fluid, which is highly
corrosive, from coming into contact with
painted parts. Should it happen,
immediately wash with water.
63)Incorrect installation of electric and
electronic devices may cause severe
damage to your car. After purchasing your
vehicle, if you wish to install any
accessories (anti-theft, phone, etc.),
contact a Fiat Dealership, which
will suggest the most appropriate devices
for your vehicle, and will, most importantly,
advise you if a higher capacity battery
needs to be installed.
