Abs System; Replacing A Wheel - Fiat Panda User Manual

ABS SYSTEM

The ABS system with this version is sup-
plied as standard, and consists of:
❒ EBD (Electronic Braking force Distrib-
ution), which distributes the braking ac-
tion between front and rear wheels;
❒ MSR
(Motor Schleppmomenten
Regelung - Regulation of engine braking
torque), that intervenes in the event of
sudden changes of gear whilst driving
(avoiding wheel blockage when decel-
erating, upon releasing the accelerator),
giving torque back to the engine, there-
by avoiding excessive drag of the dri-
ving wheels that, particularly in poor
grip conditions, can lead to a loss of ve-
hicle stability.

REPLACING A WHEEL

General instructions
The vehicle is originally supplied with a
spare wheel of the same size as those fit-
ted (space-saver spare wheel for ver-
sions/markets, where provided).
Wheel changing and correct use of the jack
and spare wheel (space-saver spare wheel
for versions/markets, where provided) call
for some precautions reported in the Use
and Maintenance manual to which this sup-
plement is attached.
To change a wheel proceed as follows:
❒ stop the car in a position so that it is
not a danger for on-coming traffic and
where you can replace the wheel safe-
ly. The ground must be flat and com-
pact;
❒ Turn the engine off and pull up the
handbrake.
❒ Engage first gear or reverse;
