Resetting the Inertia Switch on the Fiat Panda

Model: Fiat Panda 169, MK 2 - Years 2003-2012
Part: Warning light – error code

Modern cars are equipped with a system that, in the event of an accident, cuts off the fuel supply and minimises the risk of fire. If the car experiences a particularly violent impact that triggers this safety feature, the display on the Fiat Panda will show "fps on". Once you have checked the integrity of the vehicle, proceed to restore the correct fuel flow. Move the driver's seat back, and at the base of the right rail, you will find a rubberised button surrounded by a red outline. Press it firmly, return the seat to its original position, and check that the "fps on" message has disappeared.

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
