Boot extension: unfasten the belt through
button Mand guide the belt to prevent
it from twisting; overlap tongues Iand G,
on the catch Hin the reel compartment.
IMPORTANT After repositioning the
seats, restore proper seat belts conditions
for prompt use.PRETENSIONERS
To increase the efficiency of the front and
rear (where provided) seat belts, the Fiat
Panda is fitted with pretensioners. These
devices “feel”, through a sensor, that a vi-
olent crash is in progress and rewind the
seat belts a few centimetres. In this way
they ensure that the seat belt adheres per-
fectly to the wearer before the restrain-
ing action begins.
The seat belt locks to indicate that the de-
vice has intervened; the seat belt cannot
be drawn back up even when guiding it
manually.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest de-
gree of protection from the action of the
pretensioning device, wear the seat belt
keeping it firmly close to the chest and
pelvis.
A small amount of smoke may be pro-
duced. This smoke is in no way toxic and
presents no fire hazard.
The pretensioner does not require any
maintenance or greasing. Anything that
modifies its original conditions invalidates
its efficiency. If due to unusual natural
events (floods, sea storms, etc.) the device
has been affected by water and mud, it
must necessarily be replaced. Seat belt with three anchor points
(for versions/markets where
applicable) fig. 5
The seat belt has two webbings and a dou-
ble buckle.
To use the seat belts, take the tongues out
of the reel compartment and pull the belt,
guide the belt to prevent it from twisting
then secure tongue Ginto buckle Lfitted
with the black button M.
To fasten the belt, run the belt and secure
tongue Iinto the corresponding buckle N.
To fasten the belt: press button Oand guide
the belt to prevent it from twisting.

Remember that in the case
of a violent collision, back
seat passengers not wearing seat belts
also represent a serious danger to the
passengers in the front.

FITTING THE ISOFIX TYPE
SEAT
0 and 0+ group
For children of this weight group (babies
up to 13 kg), the child’s seat is facing back-
wards and the child restrained by the
child’s seat belts D-fig. 14.
As the child grows, passing to weight
group 1, remove the child’s seat from the
base and refit it facing forwards.For proper mounting proceed as follows:
❒check whether the release lever Bis at
rest position (inward);
❒find the presetting brackets A, then po-
sition the child restraint system with
the fastening devices Caligned with the
brackets;
❒ push the child restraint system until
hearing locking clicks;
❒check proper locking by moving the
child’s seat with force: the built-in safe-
ty mechanism actually inhibits improp-
er coupling with only one coupling
locked.

With this configuration, the child is se-
cured also by the car seat belts and by the
upper belts. To apply car seat belts to
child’s seat refer to the child’s seat hand-
book.
AIR BAGS
The car is fitted with front air bags (for
versions/markets where applicable) for the
driver and the passenger and front side
bags (side bag - window bag).
FRONT AIR BAGS
The front air bag (driver and passenger)
has been designed to protect the occu-
pants in the event of head-on crashes of
medium-high severity, by placing the cush-
ion between the occupant and the steer-
ing wheel or dashboard.
Front air bags are designed to protect
car’s occupants in front crashes and there-
fore non-activation in other types of col-
lisions (side collisions, rear shunts, roll-
overs, etc.) is not a system malfunction.
In case of front crash, an electronic con-
trol unit, when required, triggers the in-
flation of the cushion according to the
severity of the collision.The cushion immediately inflates, placing
itself as a protection between the body
of the front occupants and the structure
that could cause injuries. Immediately af-
ter, the cushion deflates.
The front air bag (driver and passenger) is
not a replacement of but complementary
to the use of belts, which should always
be worn, as specified by law in Europe and
most non-European countries.
In case of crash, a person not wearing the
seat belt moves forward and may come in-
to contact with the cushion while it is still
inflating. Under this circumstance the pro-
tection offered by the air bag is reduced.

STARTING PROCEDURE
FOR PETROL VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❒ensure that the handbrake is up;
❒put the gear lever in neutral;
❒press the clutch pedal down to the
floor without touching the accelerator;
❒turn the ignition key to AVVand let
it go the moment the engine starts.
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 together with
warning light Uturn the key to STOP
STOP and then back to MAR; if the warn-
ing light remains on, try with the other
keys provided with the car.
If you are still unable to start the engine,
perform the emergency start-up proce-
dure (see “Emergency start-up” in “In an
emergency” chapter) and contact Fiat
Dealership.
STARTING
THE ENGINE
The car is fitted with an electronic engine
lock device: if the engine fails to start, see
the paragraph “The Fiat CODE system” in
section “Dashboard and controls”.
The engine may be noisier than usual dur-
ing the first seconds of operation, espe-
cially after it has not been used for a while.
This characteristic feature of the hydraulic
tappet system does not compromise func-
tionality or reliability: the system devised
for the Fiat Panda was designed to limit
maintenance interventions.

CORRECT USE
OF THE CAR
We recommend that during
the initial period you do not
drive to full car performance
(e.g.: excessive acceleration,
long journeys at top speed, sharp brak-
ing, etc.).
When the engine is switched
off never leave the ignition
key in the MAR position to
prevent pointless current ab-
sorption from draining the battery.
Running the engine in con-
fined areas is extremely dan-
gerous. The engine consumes oxygen
and produces carbon monoxide
which is a highly toxic and lethal gas.
WARNING
Remember that the servo-
brake and power steering
are not operational until the engine
has been started, therefore much ef-
fort than usual is required on the
brake pedal and steering wheel.
WARNING

PARKING
Proceed as follows:
❒ Stop the engine and engage the hand-
brake;
❒engage a gear (1stif the car is faced up-
hill or reverse if it is faced downhill) and
leave the wheels steered.
Block the wheels with a wedge or a stone
if the car is parked on a steep slope.
Do not leave the ignition key at MARto
prevent draining the battery, always re-
move the ignition key when leaving the
car.
Never leave children unattended in the
car. Always remove the ignition key when
leaving the car and take it out with you.HANDBRAKE fig. 1
The handbrake lever is located between
the two front seats.
Pull the handbrake lever upwards until the
car cannot be moved.
Four or five clicks are generally enough
when the car is on level ground while nine
or ten may be required if the car is on a
steep slope or laden.
IMPORTANT If this is not the case, con-
tact Fiat Dealership to have the handbrake
adjusted.
When the handbrake lever is pulled up
and the ignition key is at MAR, the in-
strument panel warning light xwill turn
on. STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition to STOPwhile the en-
gine is idling.
IMPORTANT After taxing drive, you
should allow the engine to “catch its
breath” before turning it off by letting it
idle to allow the temperature in the en-
gine compartment to fall.
