wheel FIAT PANDA 2014 319 / 3.G Owner's Manual

SNOW TYRESUse snow tyres of the same size as the normal tyres
provided with the car.
Fiat Dealership will be happy to provide advice
concerning the most suitable type of tyre for the
customer's requirements.
For the type of tyre to be used, inflation pressures
and the specifications of snow tyres, follow the
instructions given in paragraph "Wheels" in section
"Technical specifications".
The winter performance of these tyres is
considerably reduced when the tread thickness is less
than 4 mm. Replace them in this case.
Due to the specific characteristics of snow tyres, in
normal weather conditions or on long motorway
journeys, the performance of these tyres is lower
than that of standard tyres. Their usage should
therefore be restricted in accordance with their type
approval.IMPORTANT When using snow tyres with a
maximum speed index below the one that can be
reached by the car (increased by 5%), place a notice
in the passenger compartment, plainly in view, which
states the maximum speed allowed by the snow
tyres (as per EC Directive).
All four tyres should be the same (brand and track)
to ensure greater safety when driving and braking
and good driveability. Remember that you should not
change the rotation direction of the tyres.
WARNING
The maximum speed for snow tyres
marked "Q" is 160 km/h, while it is 190
km/h for "T" tyres and 210 km/h for "H" tyres.
The highway code speed limits must however
always be complied with.

SNOW CHAINSThe use of snow chains should be in compliance with
local regulations.
Snow chains can be fitted to the tyres of the front
wheels (drive wheels) only.
Use of Lineaccessori Fiat snow chains is
recommended.
Check the tension of the snow chains after the first
few metres have been driven.
IMPORTANT Snow chains cannot be fitted to the
space-saver wheel (for versions/markets, where
provided). If a front tyre is punctured, replace a rear
wheel with the space-saver wheel and move the
rear wheel to the front axle. In this way, with two
normal drive wheels at the front, snow chains can be
fitted.
With snow chains, use the accelerator
with extreme care to prevent , or to limit
as much as possible, slipping of the drive
wheels that could cause chain breakage resulting
in damage to the car body or mechanical
components.
WARNING
185/55 R15 82T tyres cannot be fitted
with chains.
WARNING
175/65 R14 82T tyres can be fitted with
reduced size snow chains: 9 mm.
WARNING
175/65 R15 84T tyres can be fitted with
reduced size snow chains: 7 mm.
WARNING
Keep your speed down when snow
chains are fitted; do not exceed 50 km/h.
Avoid potholes, steps and pavements and avoid
driving for long distances on roads not covered
with snow to prevent damaging the car and
the road surface.

IMPORTANT If the warning light comes on when the
vehicle is in motion, check that the handbrake is
not engaged.
EBD FAILURE (red)
(amber)
The simultaneous switching on of the
(red),
(amber) and
(amber) warning lights with the
engine on, indicates either a failure of the EBD
system or that the system is not available. In this
case, the rear wheels may suddenly lock and the
vehicle may swerve when braking sharply. Drive very
carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to have the
system inspected immediately. On some versions the
display shows the dedicated message.
ABS FAILURE (amber)
Turning the key to MAR switches on the warning
light, but it should switch off after a few seconds.
The warning light switches on (on some versions,
with a message on the display and a symbol on
the display) when the system is not efficient. In this
case the braking system maintains its own efficiency
unaltered but without the advantage of the ABS
system. Drive carefully and contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible.
AIRBAG FAILURE (red)
Turning the key to MAR switches on the warning
light, but it should switch off after a few seconds.
The warning light switches on constantly (on some
versions, with a message on the display and a symbol
on the display) to indicate an airbag system fault.
WARNING
If, when turning the key to MAR, the
warning light
does not switch on or
stays on whilst driving, a fault may be present in
the restraint systems. In this case the airbags
or pretensioners may not be deployed in an
impact or, in a lower number of cases, they may
be deployed accidentally. Before continuing,
contact a Fiat Dealership immediately to have
the system checked.

together with a message in the display, in the event
of a Hill Holder system fault. In this case, contact
a Fiat Dealership.
FIAT CODE SYSTEM FAILURE
(amber)
The warning light (or symbol on the display) switches
on (along with a message on the display on some
versions) to indicate a Fiat CODE system failure: in
this case contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.PLUG PREHEATING/PLUG

PLUG PREHEATING
The warning light switches on when the key is turned
to MAR and switches off when the plugs have
reached the preset temperature. The engine can be
started as soon as the warning light switches off.
IMPORTANT At moderate or high ambient
temperatures the warning light may stay on for an
extremely short time.PLUG PREHEATING FAILURE
The warning light flashes (together with a message
and a symbol on the display on some versions)
to indicate a fault in the plug preheating system.
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the fault fixed as
soon as possible.
"DUALDRIVE" ELECTRIC POWER
STEERING FAILURE (red)
This warning light switches on when the key is
turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a few
seconds. If the warning light (or, on some versions, a
message and a symbol on the display) stays on, you
may not have steering assistance and the effort
required to operate the steering wheel could be
notably increased; steering is, however, possible. In
this case, contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT In some circumstances, factors
independent of the electric power steering could
cause the warning light on the instrument panel to
switch on. In this case, stop the car immediately
(should it be in motion), stop the engine for about
20 seconds and then restart the engine. If the
warning light (or, on some versions, a message and a
symbol on the display) stays on, contact a Fiat
Dealership.

IMPORTANT After the battery is disconnected, the
steering must be initialised. The warning light
switches on to indicate this. To carry out this
procedure, simply turn the steering wheel all the way
from one end to the other or drive in a straight line
for about a hundred metres.
DPF (PARTICULATE FILTER)
CLEANING IN PROGRESS
(only diesel versions with DPF) (amber)
This warning light switches on when the ignition key
is turned to MAR, but it should switch off after a
few seconds. The warning light (together with a
message and a symbol on the display on some
versions) switches on constantly to notify the driver
that the DPF system needs to eliminate captured
pollutants (particulate) through the regeneration
process.
The warning light does not switch on during every
DPF regeneration, but only when driving conditions
require that the driver is notified. To switch the
warning light off, the car must be kept in motion
until the regeneration process is completed.
On average, the process lasts fifteen minutes.
Optimal conditions for completing the process are
achieved by travelling at 60 km/h with engine revs
above 2000 rpm.
If this light switches on, it does not mean that the
car is defective, so there is no need to take it to
a garage. A specific message will appear on thedisplay when the warning light comes on (for
versions/markets, where provided).
WARNING
The driving speed must always be
suitable for traffic and weather
conditions and the driver must always comply
with the Highway Code.The engine can be
stopped even if the DPF warning light is on;
however, repeated interruptions of the
regeneration process could cause premature
deterioration of the engine oil. For this reason,
always wait until the warning light switches
off before stopping the engine as described
above. It is not advisable to complete DPF
regeneration with the car stationar y.GENERIC FAILURE INDICATION
(amber)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light switches on in the following
circumstances. In these cases contact a Fiat
Dealership to have the fault eliminated as soon as
possible.

Never use a fast batter y-charger to star t
the engine as this could damage the
electronic systems of your car, par ticularly
the ignition and fuel supply control units.
WARNING
This procedure must be performed by
exper t personnel because incorrect
actions could cause electrical discharge of
considerable intensity. Furthermore, battery
fluid is poisonous and corrosive: avoid contact
with skin and eyes. Keep naked flames and
lighted cigarettes away from the battery and do
not cause sparks.
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by pushing, towing or
coasting downhill.
IMPORTANT Remember that the brake servo and
electrical power steering system are not active until
the engine is started. A much greater effort will
therefore be required to use the brake pedal or turn
the steering wheel.
CHANGING A WHEELGENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The car is equipped with the “FIX&GO Automatic
Kit”: see the paragraph “FIX&GO Automatic Kit” for
how to use this device. As an alternative to the
“FIX&GO Automatic Kit” the car may be equipped
with a space-saver wheel: see the instructions on the
following pages for changing the tyre.
WARNING
The space-saver wheel (for versions/
markets where provided) is specific to
your car, do not use it on other models, or use
the space-saver wheel of other models on your
car.The space-saver wheel must only be used
in case of emergency. It must only be used
for the distance necessary to reach a service
point and the car speed must not exceed 80
km/h.The space-saver wheel has an orange
sticker that summarises the main cautions for
use and limitations. Never remove or cover
the label.The following information is provided
in four languages on the label: "Important!
For temporar y use only! 80 km/h max! Replace
with a standard tire as soon as possible. Never
cover this indication." Never apply a wheel
cap on a space-saver wheel.

WARNING
Alert other drivers that the car is
stationary in compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning lights, warning
triangle, etc . Any passengers on board should
leave the car, especially if it is heavily laden.
Passengers should stay away from on-coming
traffic while the wheel is being changed. On hills
or uneven roads, use chocks or appropriate
objects to block the wheels of the vehicle.
WARNING
The vehicle's driving characteristics will
be modified with the space-saver wheel
fitted. Avoid violent acceleration and braking,
abrupt steering and fast cornering.The overall
duration of the space-saver spare wheel is
of about 3000 km, after which the relevant tyre
must be replaced with another one of the
same type. Never install a traditional tyre on a
rim designed to be used as a small spare wheel.
Have the wheel repaired and refitted as soon
as possible. Using two or more small spare
wheels at the same time is forbidden. Do not
apply grease to the bolt threads before fitting:
they could unscrew themselves.
WARNING
The jack may be used to replace wheels
only on the car that it comes with or
other cars of the same model. Never use the
jack for other purposes, such as lifting other car
models. Never use it for repair operations
under the car. Incorrectly positioning the jack
may cause the car to fall. Do not use the jack
for loads higher than those shown on the label.
Never install snow chains on the space-saver
spare wheel; if a front tyre (driving wheel)
is punctured and you need to use snow chains,
use a standard wheel from the rear axle and
install the space-saver spare wheel on the rear
axle. In this way, with two normal front drive
wheels, it is possible to use snow chains.
WARNING
If the hub cap is not fitted correctly, it
may come off when the car is travelling.
Never tamper with the inflation valve. Never
introduce tools of any kind between rim and
tyre. Check tyre and space-saver wheel
pressures regularly, complying with the values
given in the "Technical specifications" chapter.
