Technical Panda Hybrid problem

[Rednaxela1978]

Good morning and thanks for your help. I've recently owned a Panda Hybrid and have only driven 3,500 km. For no apparent reason, I've encountered this problem. I'll try to explain it in the attached video. Before I go to the dealer and get angry, do you think I can check something myself? Thank you very much for your cooperation

I don't know if this is the same with the Hybrid Panda, but with earlier models (eg 2013-2018) this sequence of errors is a clear indication that the main 12v battery is in poor health. On a 4x4 model it also shows one more error - ELD unavailable. There are several previous posts where these errors consistently appear if the (main) battery voltage is low. How old is your Panda?

Non so se sia lo stesso anche per la Panda ibrida, ma con i modelli precedenti (ad esempio dal 2013 al 2018) questa sequenza di errori indica chiaramente che la batteria principale da 12V è in cattive condizioni. Su un modello 4x4 viene visualizzato anche un ulteriore errore: ELD non disponibile. Ci sono diverse segnalazioni precedenti in cui questi errori compaiono sistematicamente se la tensione della batteria (principale) è bassa. Quanti anni ha la tua Panda?

Do you mean the car is only one month old? Are you its first owner? How many kilometres have you driven it?

The link here will take you to an older message about the errors caused by a failing battery:

But the Hybrid has two batteries - the main one and a smaller one under the seat. If the small one is not charged enough, the stop/start hybrid function will not work, but everything else should.

Yes, I am the first owner. The car is one month old and has 3,500 km on it. The start and stop function works correctly. Is there anything else I can do other than try to charge the battery properly?

If it is that new, I would go back to the Fiat dealer and ask them to repair it under warranty.

It's not unusual for dealers to have cars sitting around for a number of weeks and therefore the battery gets a bit low on volts especially if alarm set. Maybe yours just needs a bit of a drive or a decent charge?

 

[Rednaxela1978]

Non è raro che i concessionari lascino le auto ferme per diverse settimane, e di conseguenza la batteria si scarica un po', soprattutto se è attivo l'allarme. Forse la tua ha solo bisogno di un breve giro o di una ricarica completa?

I hope so, I'll try to load it fully in the meantime

Yep. Straight back to dealer ask them to resolve it. Be understanding so they can help you more. Dont go in there shouting as it always causes issue with confrontation for no reason
