WARNING  
INTERIOR FITTINGS  
Never travel with the glove compartment open: it could injure the passenger in the event of a crash.  
The cigar lighter gets very hot. Handle it carefully and make sure that children do not touch it: risk of fire and/or burns. Always check that  
the cigar lighter plug has been released.  
ROOF RACK/SKI RACK  
After travelling for a short distance, check that the fixing screws for the attachments are correctly tightened.  
Never exceed the maximum permitted loads (see chapter "Technical specifications").  
Evenly distribute the load and take into account, when driving, the increased responsiveness of the vehicle to side wind.  
WIRING FOR RADIO SYSTEM  
If you wish to have a sound system installed after purchasing the vehicle, first contact a Fiat Dealership whose qualified personnel will give  
you advise about a sound system that does not damage the battery charge. Excessive non-running consumption damages the battery and  
may cause your battery warranty to be terminated.  
PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT  
During normal service, the catalytic converter and the diesel particulate filter (DPF) reach high temperatures. Do not therefore park the  
vehicle over inflammable materials (grass, dry leaves, pine needles, etc.): fire hazard.  
INTERIORS  
Never use flammable products, such as petrol ether or rectified petrol to clean the inside of the vehicle. The electrostatic charges which are  
generated by rubbing during the cleaning operation may cause a fire.  
Do not keep aerosol cans in the vehicle: they might explode. Aerosol cans must not be exposed to a temperature exceeding 50°C. When  
the vehicle is exposed to sunlight, the internal temperature can greatly exceed this value.  
POWER SUPPLY  
Modifications or repairs to the supply system that are not carried out correctly or do not take the system technical specifications into  
account can cause malfunctions leading to the risk of fire.  
LOADING ADVICE (Panda VAN versions)  
Abrupt braking or occasional impacts may cause sudden movements of the load with consequent situations of hazard for the driver and  
passengers: before setting off, secure the load tightly using the partition and, where provided, the appropriate hooks. For securing use  
cables, ropes or belts strong enough to hold the items to be secured.  
204  
WARNING  
ROOF RACK/SKI RACK  
Fully comply with the regulations in force concerning maximum clearance.  
WIRING FOR RADIO SYSTEM  
For connection to the radio system set-up, contact a Fiat Dealership to prevent any problem that could impair vehicle safety.  
BODYWORK  
In order to preserve the aesthetic appearance of the paint abrasive products and/or polishes should not be used for cleaning the vehicle.  
Avoid washing with rollers and/or brushes in washing stations. Wash the vehicle only by hand using neutral pH detergents; dry it with a wet  
chamois leather. Abrasive products and/or polishes should not be used for cleaning the vehicle. Bird droppings must be washed off  
immediately and thoroughly as the acid they contain is particularly aggressive. Avoid (if at all possible) parking the vehicle under trees; remove  
vegetable resins immediately as, when dried, it may only be possible to remove them with abrasive products and/or polishes, which is highly  
inadvisable as they could alter the typical opaqueness of the paint. Do not use pure screen washer fluid for cleaning the windscreen and  
rear window; dilute it min. 50% with water. Only use pure screen washer fluid when strictly necessary due to outside temperature conditions.  
INTERIORS  
Never use alcohol, petrols and derivatives to clean the dashboard and instrument panel lens.  
WARNING  
BODYWORK  
Detergents pollute the environment. Only wash your vehicle in areas equipped to collect and treat wastewater from this type of activity.
