flow FIAT PANDA 2007 169 / 2.G Owners Manual

REV COUNTER fig. 18
The indicator Bshows the engine rev
number.
IMPORTANT The electronic injection
control system gradually shuts off the flow
of fuel when the engine is “over-revving”
resulting in a gradual loss of engine pow-
er.
When the engine is idling, the rev counter
may indicate a gradual or sudden higher-
ing of the speed.
This is normal as it takes place during nor-
mal operation, for example when activat-
ing the climate control system or the fan.
In particular a slow change in the speed
preserves the battery charge.
INSTRUMENTS
Instrument background color and type
may vary according to the version.

Air recirculation on/off knob C

T= inside air recirculation
This function is particularly useful when
the outside air is heavily polluted (in a traf-
fic jam, tunnel etc.). However, it is better
not to use it for long periods, especially
if there several people in the car.
IMPORTANT The inside air recirculation
system makes it possible to reach the re-
quired “heating” or “cooling” conditions
faster. Do not use the air recirculation
function on rainy/cold days as it could con-
siderably increase the possibility of the
windows misting inside.Air distribution knob D

Button AUTO - A
Automatic climate control system
function on/off
Pressing the AUTObutton and setting
the required temperature, the system au-
tomatically adjusts the temperature, the
amount and distribution of the air admit-
ted to the passenger compartment and
controls compressor operation.Button √- B
Compressor on/off
Pressing the button when the button led
is on, will deactivate compressor and turn
the button led off.
Pressing the button when the led is off will
activate compressor and turn the button
led on.
When turning the compressor off:❒the system will deactivate air recircula-
tion to prevent window misting up;
❒it is not possible to admit air to the pas-
senger compartment with a tempera-
ture below the outside temperature
(the displayed temperature value will
flash when the system cannot guaran-
tee the required comfort conditions);
❒the fan speed can be set to zero man-
ually (with compressor on, the fan
speed cannot be lower that one bar on
the display).
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE
CONTROL SYSTEM
(where provided)
According to the temperature set by the
user, the climate control system auto-
matically adjusts:
❒temperature of the air sent to the pas-
senger’s compartment;
❒fan speed (continuous air flow varia-
tion);
❒ air distribution in the passenger’s com-
partment;
❒compressor activation / deactivation (to
cool / dehumidify air);
❒air recirculation on / off.
The system continuously works to keep con-
stant the comfort inside the passenger com-
partment and to compensate any variation
of the outside climate conditions.
All the above functions can be changed
manually by selecting the required func-
tion/s and by changing the set parameters.
Manual setting does not impair automat-
ic control of the other functions although
the AUTObutton led is off.
Manual selections prevail over automatic
ones and remain in storage until the user
decides to resume automatic control by
pressing button AUTO (except when the
system cuts in for particular safety condi-
tions).

IMPORTANT Fast demisting/defrosting
function stays on for about 3 minutes,
since engine coolant temperature exceeds
50 °C (petrol versions) or 35 °C (Diesel
versions).
When the demisting/defrosting function is

If the engine does not start at the first at-
tempt, return the ignition key to STOP
before repeating starting.
If, when the ignition key is at MAR, warn-
ing light
Yremains lit, turn the key to
STOPand then back to MAR; if the
warning light remains on, try with the oth-
er keys provided with the car.
If you still cannot start the engine, contact
Fiat Dealership.HOW TO WARM UP THE
ENGINE AFTER IT HAS JUST
STARTED
Proceed as follows:❒ Drive off slowly, letting the engine turn
at medium revs. Do not accelerate
abruptly;
❒Do not drive at full performance for the
initial kilometres. Wait until the coolant
temperature gauge starts moving.
EMERGENCY START-UP
If the instrument panel warning light
Ystays on with fixed light, the emergency
start-up can be performed by using the
CODE card code (see section “In an
emergency”). STARTING PROCEDURE
FOR DIESEL VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❒ Ensure that the handbrake is up;
❒ Put the gear lever into neutral;
❒Turn the ignition key to MAR: the
warning lights
mand Yon the in-
strument panel will turn on;
❒Wait for the warning lights Yand
mto turn off. The hotter the engine
is, the quicker this will happen;
❒ Press the clutch pedal down to the
floor without touching the accelerator;
❒Turn the ignition key to AVVas soon
as warning light
mgoes out. If you
wait too long you will lose the benefit
of the work done by the glow plugs.
Release the key as soon as the engine
starts.
IMPORTANT With cold engine, the ac-
celerator pedal shall be completely re-
leased while turning the ignition key to
AVV.

CORRECT USE
OF THE CAR
The warning light mwill
flash for 60 seconds at start-
up or during prolonged crank-
ing to indicate a fault in the
glow plug heating system. You can use
the car as usual if the engine starts but
you should contact Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible.
Never bump start the engine
by pushing, towing or coast-
ing downhill. These opera-
tions could cause fuel to flow
into the catalytic exhaust system and
damage it beyond repair.

BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine (by pushing,
towing or coasting downhill).
This could cause fuel to flow into the cat-
alytic converter and damage it beyond re-
pair.
IMPORTANT Remember that the servo-
brake and electrical power steering sys-
tem (where provided) are not operating
until the engine is started, a greater effort
will therefore be required to press the
brake pedal or turn the steering wheel.

The space-saver spare wheel
(where provided) is specific
to your car, do not use it on other
models, or use the spare wheel of oth-
er models on your car. The space-
saver spare wheel shall only be used
in an emergency. It shall only be used
for the distance necessary to reach a
service point and the car speed shall
not exceed 80 km/h. The spare wheel
has an orange sticker that summaris-
es the main cautions for use and lim-
itations. The sticker should never be
removed or covered. Never fit a wheel
cap on a space-saver spare wheel.
The sticker gives the following infor-
mation in four languages: Caution!
For temporary use only! 80 km/h max!
Replace by normal wheel as soon as
possible. Do not cover this label in
use.
If you change the type of wheel (al-
loy rims instead of steel rims) you will
have to change the entire set of fas-
tening bolts with another set of suit-
ably sized bolts.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The car can be delivered (upon re-
quest/where provided) with standard
spare wheel or space saver spare wheel;
see changing instructions on the following
paragraphs.
Wheel changing and correct use of the

restoring pressure. Release cylinder con-
nection A-fig. 8and connect it directly to
the tyre valve fig. 7; in this way the cylin-
