This Supplement describes the main fea-
tures of Fiat Panda 4 x 4 versions togeth-

FIAT PANDA 4 x 4 DRIVE LINE
The Fiat Panda 4 x 4 has a transmis-
sion system comprising two differ-
entials and an electronically con-
trolled coupling.
Thanks to this system, under poor
grip conditions the four-wheel drive
will engage automatically (i.e.: no
driver’s action required) and provide
optimum torque distribution be-
tween front and rear axle.
Fiat Panda 4 x 4 is therefore suited
for all types of roads: in fact, it is ca-
pable of coping well with snowy, icy,
muddy and dirt roads, even with
steep slopes.SUMMARY

To prevent damages to the
viscous joint do not cover long
distances with underinflated
tyres (tyres partly or com-
pletely flat).
