This shows the temperature of the engine
coolant fluid and begins working when the
fluid temperature exceeds approx. 50°C.
Under normal conditions, the needle
should hover around the middle of the
scale according to the working conditions.
CLow engine coolant temperature.
HHigh engine coolant temperature.
The turning on of the warning light B(on
certain versions with a message on the re-
configurable multifunction display) indi-
cates that the coolant fluid temperature is
too high; in this case, stop the engine and
contact a Fiat Dealership. FUEL LEVEL GAUGE fig. 6

fuel tank.
Etank empty.
Ffull tank.
The reserve warning light Aturns on to
indicate that approximately 5 litres of fu-
el are left in the tank.
Do not travel with the fuel tank almost

SPORT FUNCTION
The Fiat Panda 100HPversion is fitted
with a system enabling to choose between
two driving modes: normal and sports.
Press the SPORT button A-fig. 7for
sports driving characterized in prompt and
quick acceleration and higher effort on
steering wheel for proper driving feeling.
When this function is on, the word
SPORT on the instrument panel is turned
on. Press the SPORT button again to de-
activate this function and resume the nor-
mal driving mode.
IMPORTANT This function turns on
about 5 seconds after pressing the SPORT
button.
IMPORTANT With the SPORT function
on, when accelerating you may feel the
typical pick-up jerks of sports driving set-
ting.

USING THE MANUAL
GEARBOX
To engage the gears, press the clutch ped-
al fully and shift the gear lever into one of
the required positions (the diagram is
shown on the knob fig. 8).
To engage the 6
thgear, operate the gear
lever pressing it rightwards to prevent en-
gaging the 4
thgear by mistake. Do the
same for shifting from 6thto 5thgear.
IMPORTANT The car can only be put in-
to reverse gear when it has stopped mov-
ing completely. With the engine running,
before engaging the reverse, wait at least
2 seconds with the clutch pedal fully down
to prevent damage and grating of the
gears.
To engage reverse Rfrom neutral, lift the
sliding ring Aunder the knob and shift the
lever to the right and back.
fig. 8F0G0646m
Do not drive with your hand
resting on the gear lever as
the force exerted, even if
slight, could lead over time to
premature wear on the gearbox inter-
nal components.
To change gears properly
you must push the clutch
pedal fully down. It is therefore es-
sential that there is nothing under the
pedals: make sure the mats are lying
flat and do not get in the way of the
pedals.

DRIVING STYLE
Acceleration
Accelerating violently increasing the revs
will greatly affect consumption and emis-
sions: to contain fuel consumption accel-
eration should be gradual.
Using the SPORT function, fuel consump-
tion will be slightly higher than the values
stated in paragraph “Fuel consumption” in
this Supplement.

CHECKING FLUID
LEVELS
1.Engine oil - 2.Battery - 3.Brake fluid - 4.Windscreen washer fluid - 5.Engine coolant.
fig. 11F0G0713m
Be careful!, when topping up
take care not to confuse the
various types of fluids: they
are all incompatible with one
another and could seriously damage
the car.
Never smoke while working
in the engine compartment:
gas and inflammable vapours may be
present, with the risk of fire.

FIAT PANDA 100HP
If the oil level is near or even below the
MINmark, add oil through the filler neck
A, until reaching the MAXmark.
Oil level shall never exceed the MAX
mark.
Use engine oil with specifications de-
scribed in paragraph “Fluids and Lubri-
cants” in section “Technical Specifications”
of the Owner Handbook this Supplement
is attached to.
ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
Max engine oil consumption is usually 400
grams every 1000 km.
When the car is new, the engine needs
to run in, therefore the engine oil con-
sumption can only be considered stabilised
after the first 5.000 ÷ 6.000 km.
IMPORTANT The oil consumption de-
pends on driving style and the conditions
under which the car is used.
IMPORTANT After adding or changing
the oil, let the engine turn over for a few
seconds and wait a few minutes after turn-
ing it off before you check the level. ENGINE OIL fig. 12
Check the oil level a few minutes (about
5) after the engine has stopped, with the
car parked on level ground.
The oil level shall be included between
marks MINand MAXon the dipstick B.
The gap between MINand MAXmarks
corresponds to about one litre of oil.
fig. 12F0G649m
Do not add oil with specifica-
tions other than that already
in the engine.
Used engine oil and filter con-
tain harmful substances for
the environment. Contact Fi-
at Dealership to have the oil
and filter changed, as they are
equipped to dispose of the waste oil
and filters respecting the nature and
the law.
When the engine is hot, take
care when working inside the
engine compartment to avoid burns.
Remember that when the engine is
hot, fan may cut in: danger of injury.
Scarves, ties and other loose cloth-
ing might be pulled by moving parts.

ENGINE COOLANT fig. 13
The coolant level shall be checked with
cold engine and shall be within the MIN
and MAXmarks on the tank.
If the level is low, pour slowly a mixture
of 50% distilled water and 50%
PARAFLU
UPof the FL SeleniaGroup
through the filler neck Auntil the level
reaches MAX.
A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU
UPand
distilled water gives freeze protection to
–35°C.
fig. 13F0G0107m
The engine cooling system us-
es protective antifreeze fluid
PARAFLU
UP. Use the same flu-
id type as that already in the cooling
system when topping up. PARAFLU
UP
fluid cannot be mixed with any other
type of fluid. Should it happen, under
no circumstances start the engine; con-
tact a Fiat Dealership.
The cooling system is pres-
surised. If necessary, replace
the cap only with another genuine
one, otherwise system efficiency
could be compromised. Do not re-
move the reservoir cap when the en-
gine is hot: you risk scalding yourself.
