TOWING TRAILERS
128) 129)
IMPORTANT
For towing motorhomes or trailers the
vehicle must be fitted with an approved
tow hook and an adequate electrical
system. Installation must be carried out
by a specialist.
Install any specific and/or additional
door mirrors as specified by the
Highway Code.
Remember that when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, braking
distances increase and overtaking
takes longer depending on the overall
weight of the trailer.
Engage a low gear when driving
downhill, rather than constantly using
the brake.
The weight the trailer exerts on the
vehicle tow hook reduces the vehicle's
loading capacity by the same amount.
To make sure that the maximum
towable weight is not exceeded (given
in the vehicle registration document)
account should be taken of the fully
laden trailer, including accessories and
luggage.
Do not exceed the speed limits specific
to each country you are driving in, in
the case of vehicles towing trailers.
In any case, the top speed must not
exceed 100 km/h.An electric brake (or electric winch)
should be supplied directly by the
battery through a cable with a cross
section of no less than 2.5 mm2.
In addition to the electrical branches,
the vehicle electrical system can only
be connected to the supply cable for an
electric brake and to the cable for an
internal light for the trailer, not
exceeding 15 W. For connections, use
the preset control unit with a battery
cable with section not less than 2.5
mm2.
On Panda Cross and Panda 4x4
versions, in the event of prolonged
vehicle use at maximum tow capacity
on slopes, replacing engine oil more
frequently (every 10,000 km) is
advisable.
IMPORTANT The use of auxiliary loads
other than external lights (electric brake,
winch, etc.) must be used with engine
running.
IMPORTANT To install a tow hook
contact a Fiat Dealership.
WARNING
128)The ABS with which the vehicle is
equipped will not control the braking
system of the trailer. Particular caution is
required on slippery roads.
129)Never modify the braking system of
the vehicle to control the trailer brake.
The trailer braking system must be fully
independent of the vehicle’s hydraulic
system.
REFUELLING THE
VEHICLE
130) 131) 132)Always stop the engine before
refuelling.
PETROL ENGINES
Use unleaded petrol only, with an
octane number (R.O.N.) no lower than
95. Never introduce even the smallest
amount of leaded petrol, even in the
event of an emergency, in order to
prevent damage to the catalytic
converter.
DIESEL ENGINES
Only use Diesel for motor vehicles (EN
590 specification).
When using or parking the car for a
long time in the mountains or cold
areas, it is advisable to refuel using
locally available diesel. In this case, it is
also advisable to keep the tank over
50% full.

STARTING AND DRIVING
Diesel and petrol versions
The refuelling procedure described
below is illustrated on the label B fig. 85
located inside the fuel flap. The label
also indicates the fuel type (UNLEADED
FUEL=petrol, DIESEL=diesel fuel).
To refuel proceed as follows:
❒open the flap A fig. 85 pulling it
outwards;
❒introduce the dispenser in the filler
and refuel;
❒at the end of refuelling, before
removing the dispenser, wait for at least
10 seconds in order for the fuel to
flow inside the tank;
❒then remove the dispenser from the
filler and close flap A.
Flap A fig. 85 is provided with a dust
cover gaiter C which prevents deposits
of impurities and dust at the end of
the filler when the flap is closed.
Emergency refuelling
Proceed as follows:
❒open the luggage compartment and
take the adapter B fig. 86 located in the
tool box (versions equipped with
space-saver wheel - for versions/
markets, where provided) or in the
Fix&Go Automatic container (versions

101
IMPORTANT Depending on the country,
there are various types of adapters for
LPG refuelling pumps. Filler adapter,
supplied with the vehicle and located in
a special case, is specifically designed
for the country in which the vehicle is
sold. If you are in a different country,
find out what type of adaptor is used
there.Natural Power versions
47)To access filler B fig. 89, open the flap
and undo cap A turning it
counterclockwise.
The profile of filler B for refilling is the
universal type, compatible with Italian
and NGV1 standards. In some
European countries adapters are
considered ILLEGAL (e.g. in Germany).
WARNING
130)Do not apply any object/cap to the
end of the filler which is not provided
for the vehicle. The use of non-compliant
objects/caps could cause a pressure
increase inside the tank, resulting in
dangerous situations.
88F1D011589F1D0110
131)Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near to the fuel tank opening: fire
risk. Keep your face away from the fuel
filler to prevent breathing in harmful
vapours.
132)Do not use a mobile phone near the
refuelling pump: risk of fire.
WARNING
46)The vehicle must only be filled with
diesel fuel for motor vehicles, in
compliance with European Standard EN
590. The use of other products or mixtures
may damage the engine beyond repair
and consequently invalidate the warranty,
due to the damage caused. If you
accidentally refuel with another type of fuel,
do not start the engine, and drain the
tank. If the engine has run, even for a very
short time, you will need to have the entire
fuel supply system emptied in addition to
the tank.
47)The other plates (provided with the
vehicle documents) show the date when
the first cylinder inspection/test is due.
Methane refuelling stations are not
authorised to refill the cylinders when the
inspection date has expired.

GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
❒Before changing a bulb check the
contacts for oxidation;
❒burnt bulbs must be replaced by
others of the same type and power;
❒after replacing a headlight bulb,
always check its alignment;
❒when a light is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before changing a bulb. For the location
of fuses, refer to the paragraph “If a
fuse blows” in this section;IMPORTANT When the weather is cold
or damp or after heavy rain or washing,
the surface of headlights or rear lights,
may steam up and/or form drops of
condensation on the inside. This is
a natural phenomenon due to the
difference in temperature and humidity
between the inside and the outside
of the glass which does not indicate a
fault and does not compromise the
normal operation of lighting devices.
The mist disappears quickly when the
lights are turned on, starting from
the centre of the diffuser, extending
progressively towards the edges.
