THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM
To further protect your car from theft, it
has been fitted with an engine immobilising
system. This system is automatically acti-
vated when the ignition key is removed.
An electronic device, in fact, is fitted in each
ignition key grip. The device transmits a ra-
dio-frequency signal when the engine is
started through a special aerial built into the
ignition switch. The modulate signal, which
changes each time the engine is started, is
the password by means of which the con-
trol unit recognises the key and enables to
start the engine.
OPERATION
Each time the car is started turning the ig-
nition key to MAR, the Fiat CODE system
control unit sends a recognition code to
the engine control unit to deactivate the in-
hibitor.
The code is sent only if the system con-
trol unit has recognised the code trans-
mitted from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned to the
STOPposition, the Fiat CODE system
deactivates the functions of the engine
electronic control unit.
If the code has not been recognised cor-
rectly, the instrument panel warning light
Yturns on.
SYMBOLS
Special coloured labels have been attached
near or actually on some of the compo-
nents of your Fiat Panda. These labels bear
symbols that remind you of the precau-
tions to be taken as regards that particu-
lar component.

wiper/washer operation.
WINDSCREEN WASHER/WIPER
The device can only work when the igni-
tion key is at MAR.
The stalk can be moved to five different
positions (4 speed levels):
Awindscreen wiper off.
Bintermittent.
Ccontinuous slow.
Dcontinous fast.
Efast temporary (unstable position).
Fast temporary operation is limited to the
time the lever is held in this position.
When the lever is released it returns to
position Aautomatically stopping the
wiper.
Windscreen wiper slowing down
according to car speed
(where provided)
On certain versions, when decelerating
until stopping the car will make the wind-
screen wiper to slow down automatical-
ly. Speed will be resumed automatically
when the car speed exceeds 10 km/h. The
windscreen speed can be changed manu-
ally at any moment.“Smart washing” function
Pulling the stalk towards the steering
wheel (unstable position) operates the
windscreen washer.
Keeping the stalk pulled, with just one
movement, it is possible to operate the
washer jet and the wiper at the same time;
indeed, the latter comes into action au-
tomatically if the stalk is pulled for more
than half a second. The wiper stops work-
ing a few strokes after releasing the stalk;
a further “cleaning stroke”, after a few sec-
onds, completes the wiping operation. “FOLLOW ME HOME” DEVICE
This function allows the illumination of the
space in front of the car.
Activation
With the ignition key atSTOPor re-
moved, pull the left-hand stalk towards the
steering wheel and operate it within 2
minutes from when the engine is turned
off.
At each single movement of the stalk, the
staying on of the lights is extended by 30
seconds up to a maximum of 210 seconds,
then the lights are switched off automati-
cally.
Each time the lever is operated, the warn-
ing light 3on the instrument cluster will
come on and the display will show the
time of activation.
The warning light comes on the first time
the lever is operated and will stay on up
to automatic function deactivation. Each
operation of the lever will extend lights
switching on time.
Deactivation
Keep the stalk pulled towards the steer-
ing wheel for more than 2 seconds.

Never use the window wiper
to remove ice or snow from
the windscreen. In these con-
ditions, the wiper is submitted
to excessive effort that results in mo-
tor protection cutting in and wiper op-
eration inhibition for few seconds as a
consequence. If operation is not re-
stored contact Fiat Dealership.

FAILURE INDICATIONS
System failure is indicated by the turning
on of warning light *on the instrument
panel, together with the message on the
reconfigurable multifunction display
(where provided), see section “Warning
lights and messages”.
IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is
not a parking brake therefore, never leave
the car without having engaged the hand-
brake, turned the engine off and engaged
the first speed.ASR SYSTEM
(Antislip Regulation)
The ASR function controls car drive and
cuts in automatically every time one or
both driving wheels slip.
In slipping conditions, two different con-
trol systems are activated:
❒if slipping involves both driving wheels,
the ASR function intervenes reducing
the power transmitted by the engine;
❒ if the slipping involves only one driving
wheel, the ASR system cuts in auto-
matically braking the wheel that is slip-
ping.
The action of the ASR is particularly help-
ful in the following circumstances:
❒ slipping of the inner wheel due to the
effect of dynamic load changes or ex-
cessive acceleration;
❒ too much power transmitted to the
wheels also in relation to the conditions
of the road surface;
❒ acceleration on slippery, snowy or
frozen surfaces;
❒ in the case of loss of grip on a wet sur-
face (aquaplaning). HILL HOLDER SYSTEM
(where provided)
This system is an integral part of the ESP
system and it is provided to facilitate start-
ing on slopes. It will activate automatical-
ly with the following conditions:
❒Uphill: car at a standstill on a road with
a gradient higher than 2%, engine run-
ning, clutch and brake pedal pressed,
gearbox to neutral or engaged gear oth-
er than reverse;
❒Downhill: car at a standstill on a road
with a gradient higher than 2%, engine
running, clutch and brake pedal pressed
and reverse gear engaged.
At pickup the ESP system control unit will
keep brake force on wheels until reaching
the torque suitable for starting, or in any
case for max. 2 seconds in order to pass
easily from the brake pedal to the accel-
erator pedal.
After two seconds without starting, the
system will deactivate automatically by re-
leasing gradually the brake force. At re-
leasing, the typical brake disengagement
noise indicating that the car is going to
move will be heard.
During the use of the space-
saver spare wheel, the ESP
system carries on working. However,
you must remind that the space-saver
spare wheel has dimensions smaller
than the standard tyre and therefore
its grip is reduced as to the other car
tyres.
WARNING
For correct operation of the
ESP system, the tyres must
absolutely be of the same brand and
type on all wheels, in perfect condi-
tions and, above all, of type, brand
and size specified.

IMPORTANT Each belt shall be used by
one person only: never travel with a child
sitting on the passenger’s lap with a sin-
gle belt to protect them both fig. 8. Do
not fasten other objects to the body.HOW TO KEEP THE SEAT
BELTS ALWAYS IN EFFICIENT
CONDITIONS
Observe the following:
❒always use the belt with the tap taut and
never twisted; make sure that it is free
to run without impediments;
❒after a serious accident, replace the belt
being worn at that time, even if it does
not appear damaged. Always replace
the seat belt if pretensioners have been
activated;
❒to clean the belts, wash by hand with
neutral soap, rinse and leave to dry in
the shade. Never use strong deter-
gents, bleach or dyes or other chemi-
cal substance that might weaken the fi-
bres;
❒prevent the reels from getting wet:
their correct operation is only guaran-
teed if water does not get inside;
❒replace the seat belt when showing sig-
nificant wear or cut signs. IMPORTANT The belt should not be
twisted. The upper part should pass over
the shoulder and cross the chest diago-
nally. The lower part should adhere to the
pelvis (as illustrated in fig. 7) and not to
the abdomen of the passenger. Do not use
any objects (pegs, stoppers, etc.) to keep
the belts away from the body.
fig. 7F0G0044mfig. 8F0G0045m
If the belt has been subject-
ed to heavy stress, for ex-
ample after and accident, it should be
changed completely together with
the anchors, anchor fastening screws
and the pretensioners. In fact, even if
the belt has no visible defects, it could
have lost its resilience.

IMPORTANT If the charge level remains
for a long time under 50%, the battery is
damaged by sulphation, reducing its ca-
pacity and starting attitude.
The battery will also be more at risk of
freezing (e.g. already at -10°C). Refer to
the paragraph “Car inactivity” in “Starting
and driving” if the car is left parked for a
long time.
If after buying the car, you want to install
electric accessories which require per-
manent electric supply (alarm, etc.) con-
tact Fiat Dealership whose qualified per-
sonnel, in addition to suggesting the most
suitable devices, will evaluate the overall
electric absorption, checking whether the
car’s electric system is capable of with-
standing the load required, or whether it
should be integrated with a more power-
ful battery.
Since these devices continue absorbing en-
ergy even when the ignition key is off, they
gradually run down the battery. USEFUL ADVICE FOR
LENGTHENING THE LIFE OF
YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and length-
en its life, observe the following indica-
tions:
❒when you park the car, ensure the
doors, tailgate and bonnet are closed
properly;
❒switch off all lights inside the car: the
car is however equipped with a system
which switches all internal lights off au-
tomatically;
❒do not keep accessories (e.g. sound sys-
tem, hazard lights, etc.) switched on for
a long time when the engine is not run-
ning;
❒before performing any operation on the
electrical system, disconnect the bat-
tery negative cable;
❒battery terminals shall always be per-
fectly tightened. Incorrect assembly of electric
and electronic devices may
cause severe damage to your
car. Go to a Fiat Dealership if
you want to install accessories (alarms,
mobile phone, etc.): they will suggest
the most suitable devices and advise
you if a higher capacity battery needs
to be installed.
Batteries contain substances
that can be very dangerous
for the environment. t is ad-
visable to have the battery
changed by a Fiat Dealership where it
will be disposed of according to the
law.
If the vehicle must remain
unused for a long time at
very low temperature, remove the
battery and carry it to a warm place,
to avoid freezing.
WARNING
When you must perform any
operation on the battery or
near it, always protect your eyes with
the special goggles.
