tures of the Fiat Panda Adventure, in ad-
dition to providing some advice for use.

TRANSMISSION
FIAT PANDA ADVENTURE
Fiat Panda Adventure is equipped
with a 4 x 4 transmission system
comprising two differentials and an
electronically controlled joint.
Thanks to this system, the insertion
of the four wheel drive takes place
automatically (i.e. without requiring
any action by the driver) and allows
for optimal distribution of drive
torque between front and rear axis,
in conditions of low adherence.
Fiat Panda Adventure runs easily
over snow, ice, mud and unmade
roads, even where slopes are fairly
steep.CONTENTS

FIAT PANDA ADVENTURE
ABS SYSTEM
The ABS system with this version is sup-
plied as standard, and consists of:
❒EBD (Electronic Braking force Distrib-
ution), which distributes the braking ac-
tion between front and rear wheels;
❒MSR (Motor Schleppmomenten
Regelung - Regulation of engine braking
torque), which intervenes in the event
of a sudden change of gear whilst down-
shifting (preventing the wheels from
locking during deceleration when the
accelerator is released), restoring
torque to the engine, thereby avoiding
excessive drag of the driving wheels
which can lead to a loss of vehicle sta-
bility and control, particularly in poor
grip conditions.
REPLACING A WHEEL
General instructions
The vehicle is originally supplied with a
spare wheel of the same size as those fit-
ted (space-saver spare wheel for ver-
sions/markets, where provided).
Wheel changing and correct use of the jack
and spare wheel (space-saver spare wheel
for versions/markets, where provided) call
for some precautions reported in the Use
and Maintenance manual to which this sup-
plement is attached.To change a wheel proceed as follows:
❒stop the car in a position so that it is
not a danger for on-coming traffic and
where you can replace the wheel safe-
ly. The ground must be flat and com-
pact;
❒Turn the engine off and pull up the
handbrake.
❒Engage first gear or reverse;
