STARTING AND DRIVING -> Refuelling the Car for Your Fiat Panda SUV Fourth Generation (2024-2026)

FAULT INDICATIONS  
Any malfunction of the parking sensors  
REFUELING PROCEDURE  
WARNING If the filler compartment is  
washed with a high-pressure jet, keep  
it at a distance of at least 20 cm.  
REFUELLING THE  
CAR  
is indicated by the warning light  
on  
130) 131) 132)  
the instrument panel when reverse gear  
is engaged. See the "Indicators and  
messages” chapter.  
Always stop the engine before  
refuelling.  
The refuelling procedure described  
below is illustrated on the label (B)  
fig. 124 located inside the fuel flap.  
The label also indicates the fuel type  
(UNLEADED FUEL=petrol).  
To refuel proceed as follows:  
open the flap (A) fig. 124 pulling it  
outwards;  
introduce the nozzle in the filler and  
refuel;  
once refuelling is complete, before  
removing the fuel nozzle, wait at least  
10 seconds to allow the fuel to flow into  
the tank;  
PETROL ENGINES  
Only use unleaded petrol, with an  
octane number (R.O.N.) not 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.  
WARNING  
129) Parking manoeuvres, however, are  
always the driver’s responsibility. While  
carrying out these manoeuvres, always  
make sure that no people (especially  
children) or animals are in the area  
concerned. The parking sensors are used  
to assist the driver, who must never allow  
his attention to lapse during potentially  
dangerous manoeuvres, even those  
executed at low speeds.  
WARNING An inefficient catalytic  
converter leads to harmful exhaust  
emissions, thus contributing to air  
pollution.  
then remove the nozzle from the filler  
and close flap (A).  
IMPORTANT  
WARNING Never introduce leaded  
petrol to the tank, even in small  
amounts in an emergency, as this  
would damage the catalytic converter  
beyond repair.  
42) For correct operation of the system,  
sensors must always be clean from mud,  
dirt, snow or ice. Be careful not to scratch  
or damage the sensors while cleaning  
them. Avoid using dry, rough or hard  
cloths. The sensors must be washed using  
clean water, with the addition of vehicle  
shampoo if necessary. When using special  
washing equipment such as high pressure  
jets or steam cleaning, clean the sensors  
very quickly keeping the jet more than 10  
cm away.  
REFUELLING CAPACITY  
To ensure that you fill the tank  
completely, top up twice after the first  
click of the fuel supply gun. Further  
top-ups could cause faults in the fuel  
feeding system.

The symbols shown below facilitated  
recognising the correct fuel type to be  
used on your car.  
WARNINGS  
For towing caravans or trailers the  
car must be fitted with an approved  
tow hook and an adequate electrical  
system. Installation must be carried out  
by a specialist.  
LPG: Automotive LPG compliant with  
EN589.  
Before proceeding with refuelling,  
check the symbols inside the fuel filler  
flap (where provided) and compare  
them with the symbols shown on the  
fuel pump (where provided).  
Install any specific and/or additional  
rear-view mirrors as specified by the  
Highway Code.  
WARNING  
130) Do not apply any object/cap to the  
end of the filler which is not provided  
for the car. The use of non-compliant  
objects/caps could cause a pressure  
increase inside the tank, resulting in  
dangerous situations.  
131) Do not bring naked flames or lit  
cigarettes near to the fuel filler: 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.  
Symbols for petrol powered cars  
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.  
E5: Unleaded petrol containing up to  
2.7% (m/m) oxygen and with maximum  
5.0% (V/V) ethanol compliant with  
EN228.  
Engage a low gear when driving  
downhill, rather than constantly using  
the brake.  
The weight the trailer exerts on the car  
tow hook reduces the loading capacity  
of the car 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.  
Respect the speed limits specific to  
each country for cars towing trailers.  
In any case, the top speed must not  
exceed 100 km/h.
