Electrical FIAT PANDA 2007 169 / 2.G Owners Manual

ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the car, you decide to add electrical accessories (that will gradually drain the battery), visit a Fiat
Dealership. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the car’s electric system can sup-
port the required load.
CODE card
Keep the code card in a safe place, not in the car. You should always keep the electronic card code written on the
CODE card with you in case you need to carry out an emergency start-up procedure.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance of the car is essential for ensuring it stays in tip-top condition and safeguards its safety fea-
tures, its environmental friendliness and low running costs for a long time to come.
THE OWNER HANDBOOK CONTAINS…
… information, tips and important warnings regarding the safe, correct driving of your car, and its maintenance. Pay
particular attention to the symbols
"(personal safety) #(environmental protection) !(the car’s wellbeing).

IMPORTANT After eliminating the in-
convenience, to check the system com-
pletely, Fiat Dealerships are obliged to run
a bench test and, if necessary, road tests
which may also call for a long journey.
“DUALDRIVE” ELECTRIC
POWER STEERING
SYSTEM
(where provided)
Certain versions feature a new electrical-
ly controlled power steering system called
“Dualdrive” working only with ignition key
at MARand engine running, that can be
customised by the driver according to the
driving conditions.
IMPORTANT When turning quickly the
ignition key, power steering full operation
is obtained after 1-2 seconds.
EOBD SYSTEM (petrol
versions)
The EOBD system (European On Board
Diagnosis) allows continuous diagnosis of
the components of the car correlated with
emissions. It also alerts the driver, by turn-
ing on the warning light
Ufig. 91on the
instrument panel together with relevant
message on the reconfigurable multifunc-
tion display (where provided), when these
conditions are no longer in peak condi-
tions (see section “Warning lights and
messages”).
The objective is:
❒to keep the system efficiency under
control;
❒warn when a fault causes emissions lev-
els to increase;
❒warn of the need to replace deterio-
rated components.
The system has a diagnostic connector
that can be interfaced with appropriate
tools, which makes it possible to read the
error codes stored in the control unit, to-
gether with a series of specific parameters
for engine operation and diagnosis.
This check can also be performed by traf-
fic controller agents.

MAR, the warning light Udoes not turn on or if, while
travelling it turns on glowing
steadily or flashing (together with the
message on the reconfigurable multi-

ble. Warning light
Uoperation can be
checked by means of special equip-
ment by traffic agents. Always comply
with the traffic regulations in force in
the country where you are travelling.
