stop start FIAT PANDA 2013 319 / 3.G Owner's Manual

❒driver's door not shut;
❒driver's seat belt not fastened;
❒reverse gear engaged (for example, for parking
manoeuvres);
❒for versions equipped with automatic climate
control (for versions/markets, where provided), if
an adequate level of thermal comfort has not
been reached or with MAX-DEF activation;
❒during the first period of use for a new car, to
initialise the system.
If climate comfort is to be favoured, the
Star t&Stop system can be disabled, for
continuous operation of the climate
control system and avoidance of, for example, the
windows misting up.
ENGINE RESTARTING CONDITIONS
For reasons of comfort, limiting harmful emissions
and safety purposes, the power unit can restart
automatically without any action on behalf of the
driver if certain conditions are met, including:
❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒reduced braking system vacuum (e.g. if the brake
pedal is pressed repeatedly);
❒car moving (e.g. when driving on roads with a
gradient);❒engine stopping by Start&Stop system for over 3
minutes;
❒for versions equipped with automatic climate
control (for versions/markets where provided), to
enable suitable thermal comfort or with MAX-DEF
activation.
If a gear in engaged during stopping with Start&Stop,
the automatic restarting of the engine is only
permitted by fully depressing the clutch pedal.
The driver is informed by a message on the display
and - for versions/markets, where provided - by
the flashing of the
symbol.
If the clutch is not pressed, about 3 minutes after the
engine stops, the engine can be restarted only using
the ignition key.
In cases of undesired engine stops, due for example
to the clutch pedal being released abruptly with a
gear engaged, if the Start&Stop system is activated,
the engine can be restarted by fully depressing
the clutch pedal.
SAFETY FUNCTIONS
When the engine is stopped by the Start&Stop
system, if the driver releases his/her seat belt and
opens the driver's or passenger's door, the engine
can be restarted only using the ignition key.
The driver is informed by a buzzer and by the
flashing of the symbol
on the display; on some
versions, a message is displayed as well.

"ENERGY SAVING" FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where provided)
If, after automatic engine restarting, the driver does
not carry out any action on the car for an extended
period (about 3 minutes), the Start&Stop system
stops the engine definitively, to prevent fuel
consumption. In these cases, the engine can only be
restarted using the ignition key.
NoteIn any case, it is possible to keep the engine
running by deactivating the Start&Stop system.
IRREGULAR OPERATION
In the event of malfunction, the Start&Stop system is
deactivated. The driver is informed about the fault
through the flashing of the
symbol on the display
(for some versions together with the display of a
message). In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership.
CAR INACTIVITY
In the event of car inactivity, special attention must
be paid to the disconnection of the battery power
supply.
Proceed as follows: detach the connector A fig. 70
(by pressing button B) from sensor C for monitoring
the status of the battery installed on the negative
battery pole D. This sensor should never be
disconnected from the pole except if the battery is
replaced.
WARNING
When replacing the batter y, always go
to a Fiat Dealership. Replace the battery
with one of the same type (HEAVY DUTY) and
with the same specifications.
IMPORTANT After turning the ignition key to STOP,
wait at least 1 minute before disconnecting the
electrical supply to the battery.

CITY BRAKE CONTROL - "Collision
Mitigation" SYSTEM(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is a driving assistance system that can detect the
presence of nearby cars in front of the vehicle and,
in case of imminent collision, intervenes
automatically, braking the car to prevent the impact
or mitigate its effects.
The system only works if:
❒the ignition key is at MAR-ON;
❒the car speed is between 5 and 30 km/h;
❒the front seat belts are fastened.
The system can be deactivated (and then reactivated)
with the display setup menu (see paragraph “Menu
items” in this chapter).
The system activates if there is risk of imminent
collision and the driver does not press the brake
pedal promptly.
If the system detects that the vehicle ahead could be
hit, it may prepare the car to a possible emergency
braking.
If the driver does not carry out any action to prevent
the collision, the system may automatically slow
down the car, in order to prepare it to a possible
impact.When there is risk of impact, if the action on the
brake pedal by the driver is not sufficient, the system
may intervene in order to improve the reaction of
the braking system, therefore reducing car speed
further.
When driving uphill on a steep slope, the system may
intervene, activating the braking system.
Versions equipped with Start&Stop system:at
the end of the automatic braking, the Start&Stop
system will activate as described in paragraph
"Start&Stop system" of this chapter.
Versions equipped with manual gearbox:atthe
end of the automatic braking the engine may stall
and turn off, unless the driver presses the clutch
pedal.
Versions equipped with Dualogic automatic
transmission(for versions/markets, where
provided): at the end of braking the last gear stored
remains engaged.
IMPORTANT Both on versions equipped with
manual gearbox and on those with Dualogic
automatic transmission (for versions/markets, where
provided), after the car is stopped the brake calipers
may be stuck for about 2 seconds for safety reasons.
Make sure you press the brake pedal if the car moves
slightly forwards.
IMPORTANT The system doesNOTactivate
engaging the reverse. The system doesNOTactivate
if the front seat belts are not fastened.

Lane change by other vehicles
Vehicles suddenly changing lane, getting in the driving
lane of the car fig. 76 and inside the laser sensor
operating range, may cause system activation.IMPORTANT
WARNING
The system is an aid for the driver who
must never reduce attention while
driving.The responsibility always rests with the
driver, who must take into account the traffic
conditions for driving in complete safety.The
driver must always maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front .
WARNING
If the driver depresses the brake pedal
fully or carries out a fast steering during
system operation, the automatic braking
function may stop (e.g. to allow a possible
manoeuvre to avoid the obstacle).The laser sensor may have limited or
absent operation due to weather
conditions such as: heavy rain, hail, thick
fog, heavy snow, formation of ice layers on the
windscreen.

PARKING SENSORS(for versions/markets, where provided)
Parking sensors are located in the rear bumper fig. 77
and their function is to inform the driver, through
an intermittent buzzer, about the presence of
obstacles behind the car.
ACTIVATION
The sensors are automatically activated when reverse
gear is engaged. As the obstacle behind the vehicle
gets closer to the car, the acoustic signal becomes
more frequent.
ACOUSTIC SIGNAL
When reverse gear is engaged and there is an
obstacle behind the car an acoustic signal is activated
which varies according to the distance of the
obstacle from the bumper.The acoustic signal frequency:
❒increases as the distance between the car and the
obstacle decreases
❒becomes continuous when the distance between
the car and the obstacle is less than 30 cm and
stops immediately if the distance increases
❒is constant if the distance between car and
obstacle is unchanged.
Detection distances
If several obstacles are detected by the sensors, only
the nearest one is considered.
FAULT INDICATIONS
Any parking sensor failures will be indicated when
engaging reverse by the warning light
in the
instrument panel together with the message in the
display (for versions/markets where provided) (see
“Warning lights and messages” section).
OPERATION WITH TRAILER
Sensor operation is deactivated automatically when
the trailer's electric cable plug is fitted into the
car's tow hook socket. The sensors are automatically
reactivated when the trailer's cable plug is removed.

RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND MOBILE
PHONES
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile phones,
CB radios, amateur radio, etc.) cannot be used
inside the car unless a separate aerial is mounted
externally.
IMPORTANT The use of these devices inside the
passenger compartment (without an external aerial)
may cause the electrical systems to malfunction.
This could compromise the safety of the car in
addition to constituting a potential hazard for
passengers' health.
In addition, transmission and reception of these
devices may be negatively affected by the shielding
effect of the car body. As far as the use of
EC-approved mobile phones is concerned (GSM,
GPRS, UMTS), follow the usage instructions provided
by the mobile phone manufacturer.
REFUELLING THE CARVersions equipped with "Smart Fuel" system are
provided with an inhibiter which prevents refuelling
with incorrect fuel.
Accidental refuelling with non-compliant fuels (e.g.
petrol in Diesel engines) can only occur in the case
of versions equipped with fuel tank cap. Before
refuelling, make sure that the fuel type is correct.
Stop the engine before refuelling.
PETROL ENGINES
Use unleaded petrol only, with an octane number
(R.O.N.) no lower than 95. In order to prevent
damage to the catalytic converter never introduce
even the smallest amount of leaded petrol, even
in the event of an emergency.
IMPORTANT An inefficient catalytic converter leads
to harmful exhaust emissions, thus contributing to
air pollution.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol, even in small
amounts or in an emergency, as this would damage
the catalytic converter beyond repair.
DIESEL ENGINES
Operation at low temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low, the diesel
thickens due to the formation of paraffin clots with
consequent defective operation of the fuel supply
system.

Rear seats (warning light no. 2, no. 3 and no. 4)
For the rear seats, the reminder cycle is only
activated when any seat belt is unfastened together
with an acoustic signal (three beeps) (icon A
fig. 92). If the condition of any (front or rear) seat
belt changes, also the condition of the other
(front/rear) seat belts is reported.
The visual indication (icon A
fig. 92) will start and
stop independently for each warning light if several
seat belts are unfastened. The visual signal will
change condition (icon B
fig. 92) after the
corresponding seat has been fastened again.
IMPORTANT When the ignition key is turned to
MAR, if all the front and rear belts are already
fastened the warning lights will remain in position B
fig. 92 for 30 seconds.
IMPORTANT When the ignition key is turned to
MAR, the belts fastened icons will remain in position
B
fig. 92, whilst the belts unfastened icons will
be displayed as in position A
of fig. 92. If the last
belt is also fastened, the icons will remain in position
B
fig. 92 for 30 seconds then they will switch off.
PRETENSIONERSThe car is equipped with front seat belt
pretensioners, which draw back the seat belts by
several centimetres in the event of a strong frontal
impact. This guarantees the perfect adherence of the
seat belts to the occupants' bodies before the
restraining action begins. It is evident that
the pretensioners have operated when the belt
withdraws towards the reel. This car is also equipped
with a second pretensioner (in the kick plate area).
Its activation is signalled by the shortening of the
metal cable. A slight discharge of smoke may be
produced during the activation of the pretensioner
which is not harmful and does not involve any fire
hazard.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest degree of
protection from the action of the pretensioning
device, wear the seat belt tight to the chest and
pelvis.
The pretensioner does not require any maintenance
or lubrication: any changes to its original conditions
will invalidate its efficiency. If, due to unusual natural
events (floods, sea storms, etc.), the device has
been affected by water and mud, it must be replaced.

WARNING
If the key is inser ted and turned to MAR
when no faults are indicated by the
warning lights, air bags may be deployed if
another vehicle crashes into the vehicle even if
the engine is not running and the vehicle is
stationary. For this reason, children must never
occupy the front seat , even if the car is not
moving. On the other hand, if the key is inser ted
in STOP position, none of the safety devices
(air bags or pretensioners) will be deployed in
the event of impact . Non-deployment of these
devices does not indicate a system malfunction.
WARNING
For versions/markets where provided,
when the ignition key is turned to MAR,
the “yellow”
warning light switches on for a
few seconds. If the passenger air bag/side bag is
active, the “yellow” warning light switches off
after a few seconds. If the passenger air bag/side
bag is NOT active, the “yellow” warning light
stays on.
WARNING
The air bag deployment threshold is
higher than that of the pretensioners.
For collisions in the range between the two
thresholds, it is normal for only the
pretensioners to be activated.
WARNING
The air bag does not replace seat belts
but increases their effectiveness.
Because front air bags are not deployed for
low-speed crashes, side collisions, rear-end
shunts or rollovers, occupants are protected, in
addition to any side bags, only by their seat
belts, which must therefore always be fastened.
WARNING
If the “red”
warning light does not
switch on for a few seconds when the
key is turned to MAR, there may be a fault with
the “red” warning light . In this case, the
“yellow” warning light star ts to flash after a few
seconds and, for versions/markets where
provided, the explosive charges of the passenger
air bag and the side bag are deactivated. Before
continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership
immediately to have the system checked.
