6 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

SYMBOLS

Special coloured labels have been at-tached near or actually on some of thecomponents of your Fiat Doblò. Theselabels bear symbols that remind you ofthe precautions to be taken as regardsthat particular component.

Plate A-fig. 1 summarising the sym-bols used can be found under the bon-net.

THE FIAT CODESYSTEM

To further protect your vehicle fromtheft, it has been fitted with an engineimmobilising system (Fiat CODE sys-tem) which is automatically activatedwhen the ignition key is removed.

An electronic device, in fact, is fittedin each ignition key grip. The devicetransmits a radio-frequency signalwhen the engine is started through aspecial aerial built into the ignitionswitch. The modulate signal, whichchanges each time the engine is start-ed, is the password by means of whichthe control unit recognises the keyand enables to start the engine.

KEYS fig. 2

The following keys are provided withthe vehicle:

– two keys A when the vehicle is notequipped with remote control;

– key A and key B when the vehicleis equipped with door lock remotecontrol.

– Key A is the key that is used nor-mally. It will:

– start the engine;

– lock/unlock front doors;

– lock/unlock the rear doors or thetailgate;

– lock/unlock the side doors, Cargoversions only;

– deactivate the passenger’s airbag.

The key B, with a built-in remotecontrol, has the same functions as keyA in vehicles with door lock remotecontrol.

The CODE card fig. 3 is also sup-plied with the keys and bears the fol-lowing:

a - the electronic code to be used foremergency starting (see “Emergencystart-up” in section “In an emer-gency”);

b - the mechanical key code to begiven to the Fiat Dealership whenordering duplicate keys.

Keep the CODE card in a safe place.

Make sure you have the electroniccode of the CODE card with you at alltimes in the event you have to per-form an emergency start-up.

OPERATION

Each time the ignition key is turnedto STOP, or PARK, the protectionsystem will automatically immobilisethe engine.

When the key is turned to MAR tostart the engine:

1) if the code is recognised the ¢(Y) warning light on the instrumentpanel will flash briefly; this means theprotection system has recognised thekey code and deactivates the immo-biliser, turn the key to AVV, and theengine will start.

2) If the warning light ¢ (Y) stayson, the code was not recognised. Inthis case, turn the key to STOP andthen back to MAR. If the engine re-

mains immobilised, try with the oth-er key provided.

If you are still unable to start the en-gine, use the emergency starting pro-cedure (see “In an emergency”) andtake your vehicle to the nearest FiatDealership.

When the vehicle is travelling and thekey is at MAR:

1) if the warning light ¢ (Y) comeson while the vehicle is moving, thismeans that the system is running a self-test (e.g. due to a voltage drop).

2) if the warning light ¢ (Y) flash-es, the vehicle is not protected by theengine immobiliser. Contact a FiatDealership immediately and get themto store the codes of all the keys in thememory.

IMPORTANT The electronic com-ponents inside the key may be dam-aged if the key is subjected to sharpknocks.

IMPORTANT Each key providedwith the vehicle has its own code, dif-ferent from all the others, which mustbe stored in the memory of the sys-tem control unit.

DUPLICATE KEYS

When additional keys are required,go to your Fiat Dealership taking allthe keys in your possession and theCODE card with you. The Fiat Deal-ership will store the old and new keys(up to eight) in the system. The FiatDealership may ask you to demon-strate that you own the vehicle.

The codes of any keys that are nothanded over when the new storageprocedure is carried out will be delet-ed from the memory to prevent anylost or stolen keys being used to startthe vehicle.

All the keys and the CODE cardmust be handed over to the new own-er when selling the vehicle.

DOOR LOCKREMOTE CONTROL

The remote control is built into theignition key. Press button A-fig. 4 tolock and unlock the doors.

Press button A to operate the sys-tem. LED B (where required) will flashwhile the transmitter is sending thecode to the receiver.

USING THE SEAT BELTS

The belt should be worn keeping thechest straight and rested against theseat back.

Take hold of the tongue A-fig. 6. In-sert it into the buckle B, until you hearit clicks.

At removal, if it jams, let it rewind fora short stretch, then pull it out againwithout jerking.

Used batteries areharmful to the environ-ment. They should be dis-

posed of as specified by law in thespecial containers provided, ortake them to a Fiat Dealership,which will deal with their dispos-al.

Every rear seat (where provided) isfitted with inertial seat belts with threeanchor points and reel.

IMPORTANT Before fastening theseat belts make sure the seat is prop-erly anchored.

7-seat versions

In the 7-seat versions, every rear seat(second and third row) is fitted withseat belts with three anchor pointsand reel fig. 7.

Remember that in thecase of a violent collision,back seat passengers not

wearing seat belts also representa serious danger to the passen-gers in the front seats.


To unfasten the seat belts, press but-ton C. Guide the seat belt with yourhand while it is rewinding, to preventit from twisting.

Through the reel, the belt automat-ically adapts to the body of the pas-senger wearing it, allowing freedom ofmovement.

When the vehicle is parked on asteep slope the reel mechanism mayblock; this is normal. The reel mech-anism prevents the webbing comingout when it is jerked or if the vehiclebrakes sharply, as in a collision orwhen cornering at high speed.

ADJUSTING THE FRONTSEAT BELT HEIGHT

B

A

fig. 8

F0A

b

Always adjust the height of the seatbelt to fit the person wearing it. Thiscould greatly reduce the risk of injuryin the case of collision.

The belt is adjusted properly whenthe webbing passes approximatelyhalfway between the edge of theshoulder and the neck. Four height ad-justments are possible.

After you have made theadjustment, always makesure that the loop is at-

tached firmly in one of the fixedpositions and cannot move. Todo this, with the button released,exert a further pressure to allowthe anchoring device to catch ifrelease did not take place at oneof the preset positions.

Make the height adjust-ment when the vehicle isstationary.

PRETENSIONERS

The Fiat Doblò (with passenger's airbag ) is fitted with pretensioners onthe front side seats to improve theprotection provided by the seat belts.These devices “feel”, that a violent col-lision is in progress via a sensor andpull back a few inches of webbing. Inthis way the pretensioner ensures thatthe belt is adhering perfectly to thebody before the belt begins to holdback the wearer.

The seat belt locks to indicate thatthe device has intervened; the seat beltcannot be drawn back up even whenguiding it manually.

IMPORTANT The pretensionerwill give maximum protection whenthe seat belt adheres snugly to thewearer’s chest and hips.

To raise the belt: raise loop A-fig.8 to the required position.

To lower the belt: press knob B,and at the same time move loop A tothe required position.

Check that the seat belt is locked inposition by pushing down on loop Awithout pressing knob B.

001-105 Doblo GB 21-05-2008 11:36 Pagina 11


Some smoke may be produced whenthe pretensioners are fired. Thissmoke is harmless and does not indi-cate the principle of a fire.

The pretensioner does not requireany maintenance or greasing. Anythingthat modifies its original conditions in-validates its efficiency. If due to unusualnatural events (floods, seas storm,etc.) the device has been affected bywater and mud, it must necessarily bereplaced.

Operations involvingbanging, vibrations orheating (exceeding 100°C

for a maximum of 6 hours) in thearea around the pretensionermay trigger or damage the de-vice. Vibrations from rough roadsurfaces or accidental joltingcaused by mounting pavementsetc. do not have any effect on thepretensioner. If, however, youneed any assistance, go to a FiatDealership.

Load limiting device

This device reduces the load with isnormally exerted by the seat belts onthe passenger’s shoulder and chest ina collision. It increases protection bypreventing the micro traumas whichare inevitable in road accidents (alsoin vehicles with airbags). The deviceis built into the belt reel.

The pretensioner canonly be used once. Fol-lowing a collision that has

triggered it, have it replaced ata Fiat Dealership. Pretensionervalidity is written on the plate, fig.9, set inside the glove box. Havepretensioners replaced at a FiatDealership as this date ap-proaches.

For maximum safety,keep the back of your seatupright, lean back into it

and make sure the seat belt fitsclosely across your chest andhips. Always fasten seat belts, infront and rear seats! Travellingwithout seat belts increases therisk of severe and fatal injury inthe event of a crash.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONSFOR USING THE SEAT BELTS

The driver is responsible for re-specting and enforcing the local rulesand laws regarding the use of seatbelts.

Always fasten the seat belts beforestarting.

The webbing must notbe twisted. The uppersection must pass across

the shoulder and chest diagonal-ly. The lower part must fit close-ly across the passenger’s hips, fig.10, and not the abdomen, to pre-vent them from sliding forwards.Do not use clips, fasteners etc. toprevent the belt adhering to thepassenger’s body.

Under no circumstancesshould the components ofseat belts and preten-

sioners be tampered with or re-moved. Any interventions shouldbe carried out by qualified andauthorised personnel. Alwayscontact a Fiat Dealership.

If the belt has been sub-jected to heavy stress, forexample after an acci-

dent, it should be changed com-pletely together with the an-chors, anchor fastening screwsand the pretensioners. In fact,even if the belt has no visible de-fects, it could have lost its re-silience.

Seat belts must also be worn by ex-pectant mothers: the risk of injury inthe case of accident is much greaterfor them and their unborn child tooif they do not have a seat belt on. Ofcourse they must position the lowerpart of the belt very low down so thatit passes under the abdomen fig. 12.

HOW TO KEEP THE SEAT BELTS IN PROPER WORKING ORDER AT ALL TIMES

1) When wearing the seat belts, al-ways ensure they are not twisted andare free to wind in and out.

2) Following a serious accident, re-place the belt being worn at that time,even if it does not seem damaged. Al-ways replace the seat belts if preten-sioners have been activated.

3) When cleaning the belts, washthem by hand with water and neutralsoap, rinse them and let them dry inthe shade. Do not use strong deter-gents, bleach, colouring or any otherchemical substance that could weakenthe belt fibres.

4) Do not allow the reel mechanismsto get wet: they are only guaranteedto work properly if they remain dry.

5) Replace the seat belt when show-ing significant wear or cut signs.

Never travel with a childsitting on the passenger’slap with a single belt to

protect them both, fig. 11. Do notfasten other objects to the body.

001-105 Doblo GB 21-05-2008 11:36 Pagina 14


TRANSPORTING CHILDREN SAFELY For optimal protection in the eventof a crash, all passengers must be seat-ed and wearing adequate restraint sys-tems.

This is even more important for chil-dren.

This prescription is compulsory in allEC countries according to EC Direc-tive 2003/20/EC.

Compared with adults, their head isproportionally larger and heavier thanthe rest of the body, while the mus-cles and bone structure are not com-pletely developed. Therefore, correctrestraint systems are necessary, oth-er then adult seat belts.

SERIOUS DANGER: Never place cradle child’s seats notfacing the running direction on the front seat of vehicleswith passenger’s airbag, which during inflation could cause

serious injury, even mortal. You are advised to carry children always onthe rear seat, as this is the most protected position in the case of a crash.In any case, child’ seats must absolutely not be fitted on the front seatsof vehicles with passenger’s airbag, which during inflation could causeserious injury, even mortal, regardless of the seriousness of the crashthat triggered it. Children may be placed on the front seat of vehiclesfitted with passenger’s airbag deactivation. In this case, it is absolutelynecessary to check the warning light F on the instrument panel tomake sure that deactivation has actually taken place (see paragraphFRONT AND SIDE AIRBAGS AT ITEM FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG). The front pas-senger’s seat shall be adjusted in the most backward position to pre-vent any contact between child’s seat and dashboard.

001-105 Doblo GB 21-05-2008 11:36 Pagina 15


The results of research on the bestchild restraint systems are containedin the European Standard ECE-R44.This Standard enforces the use of re-straint systems classified in five groups:

Group 0 0-10 kg in weight

Group 0+ 0-13 kg in weight

Group 1 weight 9-18 kg



The groups partially overlap. This isbecause there are systems which cov-er more than one weight group.

All restraint devices must bear thecertification data, together with thecontrol brand, on a solidly fixed labelwhich must absolutely never be re-moved.

Over 1.50 m in height, from thepoint of view of restraint systems, chil-dren are considered as adults andwear the seat belts normally.

Lineaccessori Fiat offers seats foreach weight group, which are the rec-ommended choice, as they have beendesigned and experimented specifical-ly for Fiat vehicles.

GROUP 0 and 0+

Babies up to 13 kg must be carriedfacing backwards on a cradle seat,which, supporting the head, does notinduce stress on the neck in the eventof sharp deceleration.

The cradle is restrained by the vehi-cle seat belts, as shown in fig. 14 andin turn it must restrain the child withits own belts.

The figure is only an ex-ample for mounting. At-tain to the instructions

for fastening which must be en-closed with the specific child re-straining system you are using.

GROUP 1

Children from 9 to 18 kg are to beseated facing forward in child seatswith front cushion fig. 15. The vehi-cle seat belt secures both seat andchild.

Seats exist which aresuitable for coveringweight groups 0 and 1

with a rear connection to the ve-hicle belts and their own belts torestrain the child. Due to theirsize, they can be dangerous if in-stalled incorrectly fastened to thevehicle belts with a cushion.Carefully follow the instructionsfor installation provided with theseat.

GROUP 2

Children from 15 to 25 kg can be se-cured directly with the vehicle seatbelts. The seat has the purpose of po-sitioning the child correctly with re-spect to the seat belt so that the di-agonal section crosses the child’s chest(never the child’s throat) and the hor-izontal section fits snugly on the child’ships (and not the child’s abdomen) fig.16.

GROUP 3

For children from 22 kg up to 36 kgthe size of the child’s chest no longerrequires a support to space the child’sback from the seat back.

Fig. 17 shows proper child seat po-sitioning on the rear seat.

Children taller than 1.50 m can wearseat belts like adults.

The figure is only an ex-ample. Attain to the in-structions for fastening

which must be enclosed with thespecific child restraint system youare using.

6) Always check the seat belts donot fit around the child’s throat.

7) While travelling, do not let thechild sit incorrectly or release thebelts.

8) Passengers should never carrychildren on their laps. No-one, how-ever strong they are, can hold a childin the event of a crash.

9) Replace the child restraint systemafter an accident.

To sum up the safetyprecautions to follow whentransporting children.

1) The recommended position forinstalling child’s seat is on the rear seat,as it is the most protected in the caseof a crash.

3) Attain to the instructions for fas-tening the specific child restraint sys-tem which you are using. These in-structions must be provided by themanufacturer. Keep the child restraintsystem installation instructions withthe vehicle documents and with thisHandbook. Never use a child restraintsystem without installation instruc-tions.

4) Always check the seat belt is wellfastened by pulling the webbing.

5) Only one child is to be strappedto each retaining system.

In vehicles fitted withpassenger airbag, neverplace child’s restraint sys-

tems on the front seat.

2) If the passenger’s airbag is deac-tivated always check the warning lightF on the instrument panel to makesure that it has actually been deacti-vated.

001-105 Doblo GB 21-05-2008 11:36 Pagina 19


Never remove the igni-tion key while the vehicleis moving. The steering

wheel would automatically lockas soon as you try to turn it. Thisalso applies when the vehicle isbeing towed.

It is absolutely forbiddento carry out whatever af-ter-market operation in-

volving steering system or steer-ing column modifications (e.g.: in-stallation of anti-theft device)that could badly affect perfor-mance and safety, cause the lapseof warranty and also result innon-compliance of the vehiclewith homologation require-ments.

IGNITION DEVICE

The key can be turned to 4 differentpositions fig. 26:

– STOP: engine off, key can be re-moved, steering column locked. Someelectrical devices can be worked (e.g.sound system, electric windowwinders).

– MAR: drive position. All electricaldevices can be used.

– AVV: engine ignition.

– PARK: engine off, parking lightson, steering column locked. Press but-ton A and turn the key to PARK.

If the ignition device istampered with (e.g.: at-tempted theft), have it

checked over by a Fiat Dealershipas soon as possible.

When you get out of thevehicle, always removethe ignition key. This will

prevent anyone from accidental-ly working the controls. Remem-ber to apply the handbrake and,if the vehicle is faced down on asteep slope engage the first gear.If it is facing up, engage the re-verse gear. Never leave unsuper-vised children in the vehicle.

STEERING COLUMN LOCK

To engage the lock: remove theignition key at STOP or PARK andturn the steering wheel until it locks.

To release the lock: rock thesteering wheel slightly as you turn theignition key to MAR.

IMPORTANT The electronic sys-tem progressively blocks fuel flow toprevent engine from overrevving. Thiswill lead to a progressive loss of en-gine power. When the engine is idling,the rev counter may indicate a grad-ual or sudden highering of the speed.This is normal as it takes place duringnormal operation, for example whenactivating the climate control systemor the fan. In particular a slow changein the speed preserves the batterycharge.

The system uses refrig-erating fluid R134a whichwill not pollute the envi-

ronment if it accidentally leaks.Under no circumstances shouldfluid R12 be used as this is in-compatible with the system’scomponent parts.

SLANT COMPENSATION

The vehicle is fitted with an electri-cal device for correcting the headlightslant. The device can be operated withignition key at MAR and dippedbeams on.

When the vehicle is loaded, it“slopes” backwards. This means thatthe headlight beam rises. In this case,it is necessary to return it to the cor-rect position.

Proceed as follows:

– hold button B-fig. 139 pressed toincrease by one position (e.g.: 0➟1,1➟2, 2➟3);

– hold button A pressed to decreaseby one position (e.g.: 3➟2, 2➟1, 1➟0).

The driver can tell the ABS systemhas come into play because the brakepedal pulsates slightly and the systemgets noisier.

This should not be interpreted as afault in the brakes; on the contrary itis a sign that the ABS system is work-ing: it tells the driver that the vehicleis travelling at the limit of its road gripand that he should alter his speed tofit the type of road surface.

The ABS system is an addition to thebasic braking system. If there is a mal-function, the system turns off auto-matically and only the ordinary brakescontinue to work.

If a failure occurs, and consequentlythe anti-lock function is not effective,the braking system will continue towork as usual.

If you have never driven a vehiclewith ABS before, you should practiceusing the system on slippery terrain,obviously with the necessary safetyprecautions and keeping to the High-way Code of the country you are in.It is also a good idea to read the fol-lowing information carefully.

The advantage in using the ABS sys-tem is that it continues to give youmaximum manoeuvrability even whenbraking hard in conditions of poor gripby preventing the wheels locking.

You should, however, not expect thebraking distance to always decrease:for example surfaces with gravel orfresh snow on a slippery road will infact increase the braking distance.

Correct positions as a functionof the load

0 - one or two occupants in thefront seats.

1 - five occupants.

2 - five occupants + load in boot.

3 - driver + maximum permissibleload stowed in boot.

Check the headlightbeam position every timeyou change the load to be

carried.

HEADLIGHT ADJUSTMENTABROAD

Headlights are orientated as to driveinside the country of origin before sell-ing the vehicle. When travelling incountries with opposite driving direc-tion, you need to cover the headlightareas according to the Road Code ofthe country you are travelling in.

To exploit the ABS system to the fullin the event of necessity, you shouldtake heed of the following advice:

Braking while cornering always re-quires extreme care even when usingABS.

The most important advice to followis this

The ABS exploits theroad hold available asmuch as possible but can-

not increase it. You should alwaysdrive carefully on slippery sur-faces and avoid any unnecessaryrisks.

If the ABS system cuts init is a sign that the gripbetween the tyre and the

road surface has reached the lim-it: you must slow down to matchthe speed to the road grip avail-able.

If there is a fault, the in-strument panel warninglight > will come on. At

this point, reduce speed and go toa Fiat Dealership to have your ve-hicle checked and put right im-mediately.

When the ABS cuts in,and you feel the brakepedal pulsating, do not re-

move your foot, but keep itpressed. In doing so you will stopin the shortest amount of spacepossible under the current roadconditions.

If you follow these tips you will beable to brake better in any situation.

IMPORTANT Vehicles fitted withmay only be fitted with wheel rims,tyres and brake pads of the make andmodel approved by the vehicle man-ufacturer.

The system is completed with anEBD electronic brake force distribu-tor which increases the brake systemperformance and employs the ABScontrol unit and sensors.

The vehicle is fitted withan electronic braking de-vice (EBD). The > and

x warning light will come on atthe same time when the engineis running to indicate that thereis an EBD system failure. In thiscase violent braking may be ac-companied by early rear wheellocking with the possibility ofskidding. Drive the vehicle ex-tremely carefully to the nearestFiat Dealership to have the sys-tem checked.

The cushion immediately inflates,placing itself as a protection betweenthe body of the front occupants andthe structure that could cause injuries.Immediately after, the cushion deflates.

The front air bag (driver and pas-senger) is not a replacement of butcomplementary to the use of belts,which should always be worn, as spec-ified by law in Europe and most non-European countries.

In case of crash, a person not wear-ing the seat belt moves forward andmay come into contact with the cush-ion while it is still inflating. Under thiscircumstance the protection offeredby the airbag is reduced.

Front airbags may not activate in thefollowing situations:

– in collisions against highly de-formable objects not affecting the ve-hicle front surface (e.g. bumper colli-sion against guard rail);

If the x brake fluid lowwarning light comes on,stop the vehicle immedi-

ately and contact the nearest Fi-at Dealership. Fluid leaks fromthe hydraulic system, in fact, cancompromise brake system oper-ation, both traditional systemsand systems with ABS.

FRONT AND SIDEAIRBAGS

The vehicle can be fitted with frontair bags for the driver and passengerand with side bags.

FRONT AIRBAGS

Front airbags (driver and passenger)have been designed to protect the oc-cupants in the event of head-on crash-es of medium-high severity, by plac-ing the cushion between the occupantand the steering wheel or dashboard.

Front airbags are designed to protectvehicle’s occupants in front crashesand therefore non-activation in othertypes of collisions (side collisions, rearshunts, roll-overs, etc.) is not a systemmalfunction.

In case of crash, an electronic con-trol unit, when required, triggers theinflation of the cushion according tothe severity of the collision.

Warning light > alone,with the engine running,normally indicates a fault

in the ABS system only. In thiscase, the braking system is still ef-ficient, though without the anti-locking device. Under these con-ditions, performance of the EBDsystem may be reduced. Also inthis case, you are advised to goimmediately to the nearest FiatDealership, driving in such a wayto avoid sharp braking to havethe system checked.

– in case of wedging under other ve-hicles or protective barriers (for ex-ample under a truck or guard rail), theair bag is not triggered as it offers noadditional protection compared withthe seat belts, consequently it wouldbe pointless.

Therefore, failure to come into ac-tion in the above circumstance doesnot mean that the system is not work-ing properly.

At their maximum inflation, their vol-ume fills most of the space betweenthe steering wheel and the driver andbetween the dashboard and the pas-senger.

In minor crashes (for which the re-straining action of the seat belts is suf-ficient), the air bags are not deployed.Also in this case it is of vital impor-tance to wear the seat belts since incase of front crash they guaranteeproper positioning of the occupant.

DRIVER’S FRONT AIR BAGfig. 140

It consists of an instant-inflating cush-ion contained in a special recess in thecentre of the steering wheel.

PASSENGER’S FRONT AIRBAG fig. 141

It consists of an instant-inflating cush-ion contained in a special recess in thedashboard; its volume is bigger thanthe driver’s one.

Do not apply stickers orother objects to thesteering wheel or to the

air bag cover on the passenger’sside or on the side roof lining.Never put objects on the dash-board on passenger side sincethey could interfere with properair bag inflation.

The driver and passenger frontairbags have been designed and cali-brated to protect a person wearingseat belts.

Manual deactivation

The passenger side airbag can be de-activated if it is absolutely necessary tocarry a child in the front passengerseat.

Deactivation / reactivation shall becarried out with ignition device atSTOP. Turn the specific switch fig.142 on the dashboard on passengerside with the ignition key.

IMPORTANT Operate the switchonly with engine off and ignition keyremoved.

The switch fig. 142 has two posi-tions:

– Passenger front airbag on: (positionON P ): instrument panel warninglight F off. Do not carry children onthe front seat.

– Passenger front airbag off: (positionOFF F ): instrument panel warninglight F on. A child can be carried onthe front seat with a suitable restraintsystem.

Warning light F on the clusterstays on permanently until the pas-senger’s airbag is reactivated.

Deactivation of the passenger’s frontair bag does not inhibit operation ofthe side air bag.

SERIOUS DANGER:With passenger’sair bag active (ON),

never place child’s seats with thecradle facing backwards since theair bag activation could cause tothe child serious injuries, evenmortal. In the case of need, al-ways deactivate the passenger’sair bag when a child’s seat isplaced on the front seat. Thefront passenger’s seat shall be ad-justed in the most backward po-sition to prevent any contact be-tween child’s seat and dashboard.Even if not compulsory by law,you are recommended to reac-tivate the air bag immediately assoon as child transport is nolonger necessary.

SIDE BAG

It consists of an instant-inflation cush-ion housed in the back rest of thefront seat to increase protection ofthe occupants’ chest in the event of aside crash of medium-high severity.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The front and/or side airbags can betriggered if the vehicle is subjected tostrong knocks or impacts underneath,e.g. violent crashes into steps, kerbs orfixed projections from the ground,falling to large holes or dips in the road.

When the airbag inflates it emits asmall amount of dusts. These dusts areharmless and is not the beginning of afire; then the unfold cushion surfaceand the vehicle interiors can be cov-ered by a dusty remains: this dust canirritate skin and eyes. In case of con-tact, wash yourself using neutral soapand water.

The air bag system has a validity of14 years as to the pyrotechnic charge,and 10 years as to the coil contact (seethe plate in the glove compartment).As this date approaches, contact Fi-at Dealership to have it replaced.

After an accident which triggered theairbags, go to a Fiat Dealership tohave the entire safety system, the elec-tronic control unit, the seat belts andthe pretensioners replaced. The Deal-ership will also check the intactness ofthe electrical system.

Any diagnostic, repair or replace-ment operations concerning the airbagsystem must exclusively be carried outat a Fiat Dealership.

If you are having the vehiclescrapped, have the airbag system de-activated at a Fiat Dealership first.

If the vehicle changes hand, the newowner must be made aware of the in-dications given above and be given thisOwner Handbook.

001-105 Doblo GB 21-05-2008 11:37 Pagina 94


Pretensioners, front airbags and sideairbags are triggered by the electron-ic control unit according to differenttypes of impacts. Missed triggering ofthe system, consequently, does not in-dicate a fault in the system.

If when turning the keyto MAR the warning light¬ does not turn on or if it

stays on when travelling therecould be a failure in safety sys-tems; in this event air bags orpretensioners could not trigger incase of impact or, in a minornumber of cases, they could trig-ger accidentally. Contact FiatDealership immediately to havethe system checked.

When the passenger’sfront airbag is active (pas-senger front airbag deac-

tivation switch at ON), the Fwarning light will come on for ap-proximately four seconds andflash for other four seconds whenthe ignition key is turned to MARto remind the driver than thepassenger’s front and side airbags(where fitted) will be fired in theevent of a crash. The warninglight should go out immediatelyafterwards.

If an attempt has beenmade to steal the vehicle,or if it has actually been

stolen or has been vandalised inany way or subjected to flooding,have the airbag system checkedover at a Fiat Dealership.

The front air bag is trig-gered for shocks greaterin magnitude that the

pretensioners. For impacts be-tween these two thresholds, it istherefore normal that only thepretensioners are triggered.

Do not apply stickers orother objects to thesteering wheel or to the

dashboard on the passenger’sside. Do not travel with objectson your lap or in front of you norwith a pipe, pencil or similar be-tween your lips; you could seri-ously hurt yourself if the airbaginflates in a collision.

001-105 Doblo GB 21-05-2008 11:37 Pagina 95


The correct operation offront airbags, side airbagsand pretensioners is en-

sured only if the vehicle is notoverloaded.

Do not wash the seatback in vehicles with sideairbags with pressurised

steam or water in automatic seatwashing stations.

The airbag does not re-place seat belts but ratherincreases their effective-

ness. Furthermore, the airbag isnot fired in the event of lowspeed front collisions, side colli-sions, rear-end shunts and roll-overs. In these cases, the passen-gers are only protected by theseat belts which for this reasonmust always be fastened.

Always drive with bothhands on the rim of thesteering wheel so that the

airbag is free to inflate during ahead-on collision, and protectyou from serious injury. Do notdrive with your body bending to-wards the steering wheel, but sitin an upright position with yourback resting against the seat.

Do not cover the back-rest of front seats withtrims or covers that are

not suitable to be used with sidebags.

It is important to re-member that the airbagcan be fired if the ignition

key is fitted and at MAR also ifthe engine is not running and thevehicle it is hit by another vehicletravelling at suitable speed. As aconsequence, Fiat recommendssitting children in their specificrestraint systems on the backseat, which is the most protectedposition possible. On the con-trary, the airbags will not be firedif the vehicle is crashed into whenthe key is not inserted or turned.Consequently, in this case, thefact that the system is not fireddoes not indicate a fault.

EOBD SYSTEM

The EOBD system (European OnBoard Diagnosis) allows continuos di-agnosis of the components of the ve-hicle correlated with emissions.

Furthermore, the system warns thedriver of deterioration concerning theemission system components bymeans of the U warning light on theinstrument panel.

The objective is to:

– monitor system efficiency;

– warn when failures can increaseemissions over the threshold estab-lished by the European regulations;

– warn of the need to replace dete-riorated components.

Furthermore, the system is equippedwith a connector for interfacing withspecific tools used to read the errorcodes stored in the control unit mem-ory along with a set of diagnostic andengine specific parameters.

IMPORTANT After eliminating theproblem, your Fiat Dealership willrun a bench test to fully check the sys-tem. In some cases, a long road testmay be required.

Contact a Fiat Dealer-ship as soon as possible ifthe U warning light ei-

ther does not come on when thekey is turned to MAR or comeson, with fixed or flashing light,when travelling. Warning light Uoperation can be checked bymeans of special equipment bytraffic agents. Always complywith the traffic regulations inforce in the country where youare travelling.

SOUND SYSTEM

If the “Sound System” has not beenrequested, the vehicle features an odd-ment compartment on the dashboard.

Contact a Fiat Dealer-ship if you want to installa sound system after pur-

chasing your vehicle. Their staffwill advise you on how to safe-guard the life of the battery. Ex-cessive idle intake can damagethe battery and invalid the bat-tery warranty as well.

RADIO TRANSMITTERS ANDCELLULAR TELEPHONES

Radio transceiver equipment (e.g.: e-tacs mobile phones, HAM radio sys-tems and the like) shall not be used in-side the vehicle unless a separate aer-ial is mounted on the roof.

IMPORTANT The use of similardevices inside the passenger compart-ment (without separated aerial) pro-duces radio-frequency electromag-netic fields which, amplified by the res-onance effects inside the passengercompartment, may cause electricalsystems equipping the vehicle to mal-function. This could compromise safe-ty in addition to constituting a poten-tial hazard for the passengers.

In addition, transmission and recep-tion of these devices may be affectedby the shielding effect of the vehiclebody.

As concerns EC-approved mobilephones (GSM, GPRS, UMTS), strictlycomply with the instructions for useprovided by the mobile phone’s man-ufacturer.

ACCESSORIESPURCHASED BY THEOWNER

If after buying the car, you decide toinstall electrical accessories that re-quire a permanent electric supply(alarm, satellite antitheft system, etc.)or accessories that in any case burden the electric supply, contact Fiat Dealership, whose qualifiedpersonnel, besides suggesting the most suitable devices belonging toLineaccessori Fiat, will also evalu-ate the overall electric absorption,checking whether the car’s electric sys-tem is able to withstand the load re-quired, or whether it needs to be in-tegrated with a more powerful battery.

PARKING SENSORS(where provided)

Parking sensors are located in therear bumper to detect and inform thedriver (through an intermittentacoustic signal) about the presence ofobstacles behind the vehicle.

ACTIVATION

Sensors will activate automaticallywhen engaging reverse gear.

The frequency of the acoustic alarmwill increase as the distance betweenthe vehicle and the obstacle decreas-es.

BUZZER WARNINGS

When the reverse gear is engaged anintermittent acoustic signal is auto-matically activated (short beep to sig-nal system activation).

The acoustic signal frequency:

– becomes louder as the reductionof distance between the vehicle andthe obstacle decreases;

Detection distances:

Central ray ................................130 cm

Corner action range ................ 60 cm

Min/max range ................... 25/180 cm

If several sensors signal an obstacle,the control unit checks and indicatesthe closest one.

The system will automatically cut outalso when reverse gear is engaged af-ter a distance of 50 or after exceedingthe speed of 30 km/h.

For proper operation,the parking sensors shallalways be clean from

DIESEL ENGINES

Use diesel fuel for motorvehicles complying withEuropean specifications

EN590 only. The use of otherproducts or mixtures may dam-age the engine beyond repair andinvalidate the warranty. If thetank is accidentally filled with oth-er types of fuel, do not start theengine and drain the tank. If theengine has run even for a veryshort time, you will also need todrain the fuel supply circuit.

AT THE FILLINGSTATION

PETROL ENGINES

Use only unleaded petrol.

To prevent errors, the diameter ofthe fuel tank filler is too small to in-troduce a lead petrol pump filler.

Use petrol with a rated octane num-ber (R.O.N.) not lower than 95.

IMPORTANT An inefficient cat-alytic converter will allow harmful ex-haust fumes to be emitted and thuscontribute to air pollution.

IMPORTANT Never put even thetiniest amount of leaded petrol in thefuel tank of your vehicle even in anemergency. You would damage thecatalytic converter beyond repair.

If the outside temperature is verylow, the diesel thickens due to the for-mation of paraffin and could clog thefuel filter.

In order to avoid these problems, dif-ferent types of diesel are distributedaccording to the season: summer type,winter type and arctic type (coldmountain areas).

If refuelling with diesel fuel not ade-quate, you are recommended to addTUTELA DIESEL ART to the fuel,in the proportions written on the con-tainer. Pour the antifreeze into the fu-el tank before the fuel.

REFUELLING

To guarantee full tank filling, carryout two refuelling operations after thefirst click of the fuel delivery gun.Avoid further topping up operationsthat could cause damages to the fuelsystem.

To open:

1) Turn the cap by approximately halfa turn anticlockwise and remove it.

IMPORTANT The hermetic clo-sure may cause a slight pressure in thetank: a slight hissing when turning thecap is quite normal.

2) While you are filling up, place thecap on the fuel filler flap as illustratedin the figure.

To close:

The cap has a bayonet coupling. In-sert the cap and turn it clockwise un-til it clicks once or more.

On certain versions the cap has amechanical lock to be opened usingthe door key.

PROTECTING THEENVIRONMENT

Protecting the environment has beenthe guiding principle in the design ofthe Fiat Doblò right from the start.The result is the use of materials andcreation of devices that can reduce orconsiderably curtail harmful influenceson the environment.

The devices for curtailing petrol en-gine emissions are the following:

– a three-way catalytic converter;

– Lambda sensors (oxygen sensors);

– a fuel evaporation system.

Do not put naked flamesor lighted cigarettes nearthe fuel filler hole as there

is a danger of fire. Do not bendtoo close to the hole either so asnot to breathe in harmfulvapours.

IMPORTANT If required, replacethe fuel cap with another genuine capto avoid affecting the efficiency of thefuel vapour recovery system.

The devices for curtailing diesel en-gine emissions are:

– an oxidising catalytic converter;

– an exhaust gas recirculation system(E.G.R.).

– diesel particulate filter (DPF)

– Lambda probes (where provided).

Consequently, the Fiat Doblò is readyto travel well ahead of the most strin-gent international pollution controlstandards.

DIESEL PARTICULATEFILTER (DPF) (for Multijetversions 1.3 85 HP and 1.9 120HP)

The Diesel Particulate Filter is a me-chanical filter, integral with the exhaustsystem, that physically traps particulatespresent in the exhaust gases of Dieselengines.

The diesel particular filter has beenadopted to eliminate almost totally par-ticulates in compliance with current /future law regulations.

During normal use of the vehicle, theengine control unit records a set of da-ta (e.g.: travel time, type of route, tem-peratures, etc.) and it will then calcu-late how much particulates has beentrapped by the filter.

Since this filter physically traps partic-ulates, it shall be cleaned (reclaimed) atregular intervals by burning carbon par-ticles.

Reclaiming procedure is controlledautomatically by the engine control unitaccording to the filter conditions andthe conditions of use of the vehicle.

During reclaiming the following phe-nomena could take place: idling slightincrease, fan activation, slight smoke in-crease, high exhaust temperatures.These situations shall not be consideredas faults and they do not affect vehicleperformance and environment.

HOW TO WARM UP THEENGINE AFTER IS HAS JUSTSTARTED (petrol and dieselversions)

– Begin to move forward slowly let-ting the engine turn at medium revs.Do not accelerate abruptly.

– Do not push the engine to its lim-it for the first few kilometres. You arerecommended to wait until thecoolant temperature gauge startsmoving.

EMERGENCY START-UP

If the Fiat CODE system fails torecognise that code transmitted by theignition key (instrument panel warninglight ¢ (Y) on) the emergency start-up can be performed by using theCODE card code.

See section “In an emergency”.

The warning light mwill flash (for approxi-mately 60 seconds) at

start-up or during prolongedcranking to signal a fault in theglow plug heating system. Youcan use the vehicle as usual if theengine starts but you should con-tact a Fiat Dealership as soon aspossible to have problem seen to.

If the engine does not start at thefirst attempt, return the ignition keyto STOP before trying to start theengine again.

If with key at MAR warning light ¢(Y) stays on, turn the key to STOPand then to MAR again; if the warn-ing light stays on, try with the otherkeys provided.

If you still cannot start the engine, getin touch with Fiat Dealership.

IMPORTANT Never leave the ig-nition key at MAR when the engine isoff.

Catalysed vehicles mustnot be bump started(pushed, towed or coast-

ed downhill) as this could causefuel to flow into the catalytic ex-haust system and damage it be-yond repair.

Remember that untilthe engine has started thebrake booster and hy-

draulic power steering systemswill not work and a greater effortwill therefore be required to de-press the brake pedal or turn thesteering wheel.

Switch off the engine, pull up thehandbrake and engage a gear (1st gearor reverse, according to whether thevehicle is facing up or downhill) andleave the wheels turned. If the vehi-cle is left on a steep slope, wedges ora rock should be used to lock thewheels.

Do not leave the ignition key atMAR to prevent draining the battery.

Always remove the key when youleave the vehicle.

HANDBRAKE

The handbrake lever is located be-tween the two front seats.

Pull the handbrake lever upwards un-til the vehicle cannot be moved. Fouror five clicks are generally enoughwhen the vehicle is on level groundwhile nine or ten may be required ifthe vehicle is on a steep slope or laden.

IMPORTANT If this is not thecase, take the vehicle to a Fiat Deal-ership to have the handbrake adjust-ed.

Instrument panel warning light xwill come on when the handbrakelever is pulled up and the ignition keyis at MAR.

To release the handbrake:

1) Slightly lift the handbrake andpress release button A-fig.1.

2) Keep the button pressed in andlower the lever. Warning light x willgo out.

3) Press the brake pedal when car-rying out this operation to prevent thevehicle moving accidentally.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

Turn the key to STOP while theengine is idling.

A quick burst on the ac-celerator before turningoff the engine serves ab-

solutely no practical purpose andwastes fuel.

Never leave children un-supervised in the vehicle.

HOW TO USE THE GEARS

Press the clutch fully before shiftingthe gear stick into one of the positionsshown in the diagram in fig. 2 (the di-agram is also on the gear lever knob).

IMPORTANT Only engage the re-verse gear when the vehicle is com-pletely stationary. With the enginerunning, wait for at least 2 secondswith the clutch pedal pressed to avoiddamaging the gears and scratching.

To engage reverse (R) from neutral:

– shift the lever to the right and back.

For version 1.4 8V and 1.6 16V, to en-gage reverse (R) from neutral, raisecollar A-fig. 3 set under the knob andmove the lever rightwards and thenbackwards at the same time.

Some suggestions which may helpyou to keep the running costs of thevehicle down and lower the amountof toxic emissions released into the at-mosphere are given below.

GENERALCONSIDERATIONS

Vehicle maintenance

The overall state of the vehicle is animportant factor which has a markedinfluence over fuel consumption anddriving comfort and on the life span ofyour vehicle. For this reason careshould be taken to maintain your ve-hicle by carrying out the necessarychecks and regulations in accordancewith the specifications given in theSERVICE SCHEDULE (see sections:spark plugs, idling, air cleaners, dieselfuel filter, timing).

Tyres

Tyre pressure should be checked atleast once every four weeks: if thepressure is too low fuel consumptionincreases as the resistance to therolling movement of the tyre isgreater. In this state, tyre wear is in-creased and handling suffers which willeffect safety.

Unnecessary loads

Do not travel with too much load inthe boot. The weight of the vehicleand its trim greatly effects consump-tion and stability.

Roof rack/ski rack

Remove the roof rack or the ski rackfrom the roof as soon as they are nolonger used.

These accessories reduce the aero-dynamic penetration of the vehicle andwill increase consumption. When

transporting particularly large objects,use a trailer, where possible.

Electric devices

Use electric devices for the neces-sary time only. The heated rear win-dow, fog lights, windscreen wipers,heater fan require large amounts ofelectricity and increasing the requestfor power will also increase fuel con-sumption (up to +25% when driving intowns).

Climate control system

The climate control system is an ad-ditional load which greatly effects theengine leading to higher consumption(up to +20% in average). When thetemperature outside allows, use theair vents where possible.

Aerodynamic accessories

The use of non-certified aerodynamicitems may adversely affect air drag andconsumption levels.

CONTAINING RUNNING COSTS AND POLLUTION

106-118 Doblo GB 9-05-2008 12:09 Pagina 110

DRIVING STYLE

Starting

Do not warm the engine when thevehicle is stationary or at high or lowrevs: in this way the engine will warmup gradually increasing consumptionand emissions. You should drive offslowly straight away avoiding high revsso that the engine will warm up morequickly.

Unnecessary actions

Avoid revving the engine whenstopped at traffic lights or beforeswitching off the engine and avoid dou-bling the clutch as these actions haveno purpose of modern vehicles andserve only to increase consumptionand pollution.

Gear selection

As soon as the traffic and road con-ditions allow it, shift to a higher gear.Using a lower gear to liven up accel-eration greatly increases consumption.In the same way, improper use of thehigher gears will increase consump-

tion, emissions and wear and tear onthe engine.

Top speed

Fuel consumption increases consid-erably as speed increases. For exam-ple, when accelerating from 90 to 120km/h, fuel consumption increases upto approximately +30%. Your speedshould be kept as even as possible andsuperfluous braking and accelerationavoided as this increases both con-sumption and emissions. A “smooth”driving style should be adopted by at-tempting to anticipate manoeuvres toavoid imminent danger and to keep asafe distance from the vehicle in frontto avoid braking sharply.

Acceleration

Accelerating violently increasing therevs will greatly effect consumptionand emission: acceleration should begradual and not exceed the maximumtorque.

CONDITIONS OF USE

Cold starting

Frequent cold starting will not enablethe engine to reach optimal runningtemperature. It follows, therefore, thatconsumption will be higher (from +15to +30% in towns) as will the pro-duction of toxic emissions.

Traffic situations and roadconditions

Heavy traffic and higher consumptionare synonymous: for example, whendriving slowly with frequent use oflower gears or in towns where thereare numerous traffic lights.

Also twisting roads, mountain roadsand rough road surfaces pay a heavy tollon consumption.

Traffic hold-ups

During prolonged stops (traffic lights,level crossings, etc.) the engine shouldbe switched off.

CHEAP RUNNING THAT RESPECTS THE ENVIRONMENT

LOOKING AFTER EMISSION CONTROL DEVICES

The correct use of pollution controldevices not only ensures respect forthe environment but also has an effecton the vehicle’s performance. Keepingthese devices in good condition istherefore a fundamental rule for dri-ving that is easy on your pocket andon the environment too.

The first step to take is to follow theSERVICE SCHEDULE to the letter.

If your vehicle has a petrol engine useonly unleaded petrol.

If you have trouble starting, do notkeep turning the ignition key for longperiods. Be especially careful to avoidbump starting the vehicle by pushing,towing or rolling downhill: these areall manoeuvres that can damage thecatalytic exhaust. Use an auxiliary bat-tery for start-ups only.

If the engine begins to “loose itssmoothness”, when travelling, contin-ue your journey but reduce the de-mands you are making on the engineand have the vehicle seen to at a Fi-at Dealership as soon as possible.

When the instrument panel fuel re-serve warning light comes on, fill up assoon as possible. A low level of fuelcan cause an uneven supply of fuel tothe engine with the inevitable increasein the temperature of the exhaust gasand serious damage to the catalyticconverter.

Never run the engine with one ormore spark plugs disconnected, evenfor testing purposes.

Do not warm up the engine by let-ting it idle for a while before movingoff unless the outside temperature isvery low and, even in this case, onlydo so for less than 30 seconds.

Do not install other heat shields anddo not remove those already fitted tothe catalytic converter and exhaustpipe.

Environmental protection has beenone of the guiding principles in theproduction of the Fiat Doblò. It is noaccident that its pollution controlequipment is much more effective thanthat required by current legislation.

Nonetheless, the environment can-not get by without a concerted effortfrom everyone.

By following a few simple rules youcan avoid harming the environmentand often cut down fuel consumptionat the same time.

On this subject, a few useful tips havebeen given below to supplement thosemarked by symbol #, at various pointsof the handbook.

You are asked to read both the for-mer and the latter carefully.

TOWING TRAILERS

IMPORTANT NOTES

The vehicle must be fitted with a ho-mologated tow hitch and suitable elec-trical system for towing a caravan ortrailer. Installation must be carried outby skilled personnel who will issuedocumentation authorising circulationon the road.

Install any specific and/or additionalrear-view mirrors in accordance withthe Highway Code.

Remember that towing a trailermakes it harder for the vehicle toclimb the maximum gradients speci-fied.

Engage a low gear when drivingdownhill rather than constantly brak-ing.

The weight the trailer exerts on thevehicle’s tow hitch coupling reducesthe vehicle’s payload by the sameamount.

To make sure the maximum towableweight is not exceeded (given in thelog book) account should be taken ofthe fully laden trailer, including acces-sories and personal belongings.

Respect the speed limit for towingtrailers in the country you are travel-ling in. In any case, do not exceed amaximum speed of 100 km/h.

Do not allow anything tobe sprayed onto the cat-alytic converter, lambda

sensor and exhaust pipe.

When functioning nor-mally the catalytic con-verter reaches high tem-

peratures. For this reason do notpark the vehicle over inflamma-ble material (grass, dry leaves,pine needles etc.): fire hazard.

Ignoring the above rulesmay lead to fire.


106-118 Doblo GB 9-05-2008 12:09 Pagina 113


The tow hitch must comply with thecurrent regulation, with reference toDirective 94/20/EC and amendments.

Install a tow hitch which is suitablefor the towing capacity of the vehicle.

Use a unified coupling for the elec-trical connections. The coupling is gen-erally fitted on a specific mount fas-tened to the tow hitch.

For electrical connection, a 7 or 13pole 12VDC coupling must be used(CUNA/UNI and ISO/DIN standards).Follow the instructions provided bythe manufacturer of the vehicle and/orthe tow hitch.

Use the specific trailer light fuseboxfor electrical connections.

An electric brake should be supplieddirectly by the battery through a cablewith a cross section of no less than 2.5mm2.

In addition to the electrical connec-tion, only the lead for powering anelectric brake and the lead to powera light inside the trailer not exceed-ing 15W may be connected to the ve-hicle’s electrical system.

For connections use the preset con-trol unit with battery cable no lessthan 2,5 mm2.

FITTING DIAGRAM

The trailer tow hitch is to be fixed inthe points indicated (see diagram fig.4).

The plate 1 must have a minimumthickness of 6 mm. The fasteningpoints 2 will be equipped with shims

16 x 2 mm. The tow hitch structureis fastened in the points shown with Øby means of six M8 screws and fourM10 screws.

Fasten the tow hitch to the body andtrim the bumper with the frame pro-vided with the assembly kit.

After fitting the tow hitch, the emp-ty vehicle weight will increase by ap-proximately 15.5 kg.

The ABS system will notcontrol the trailer brakingsystem. Great care

should therefore be taken whendriving on slippery road surfaces.

Under no circumstancesmodify the vehicle’s brak-ing system for trailer

braking control. The trailer’sbraking system must be com-pletely independent of the vehi-cle’s hydraulic system.

TOW HITCH INSTALLATION

The towing device should be fas-tened to the body by specialised per-sonnel according to any additionaland/or integrative information suppliedby the Manufacturer of the device.

106-118 Doblo GB 9-05-2008 12:09 Pagina 114

After 1000 km check that the towhitch fastening screws are perfectlyclosed. Have this operation carriedout at Fiat Dealership.

SNOW CHAINS

Use of snow chains should be incompliance with local regulations.

Snow chains should only be appliedto the driving wheels (front wheels).

We recommend using LineaccessoriFiat snow chains.

Check the tautness of the chains af-ter driving some twenty to thirty me-tres.

Refer to the followingtable for information onthe wheels where snow

chains can be fitted. Follow theprescriptions.

With chainsmounted keepyour speed down.

Do not exceed 50 km/h. Avoidholes in the road; do not mountsteps or kerbs. Do not drive longstretches of snow-free road withthe chains mounted, as this candamage the vehicle and the roadsurface too.

SNOW TYRES

These tyres have been specially de-signed for driving on snow or ice, tobe fitted in place of the standard tyres.

Use snow tyres of the same size asthe standard tyres provided with thevehicle.

Fiat Dealership will be happy toprovide advice concerning the mostsuitable type of tyre for the customer’srequirements.

For the type of tyre to be used, in-flation pressures and the specificationsof snow tyres, follow the instructionsgiven at paragraph “Wheels” in section“Technical Specifications”.

The winter features of these tyresare reduced considerably when thetread depth is below 4 mm. In thiscase, they should be replaced.

Due to the snow tyre features, un-der normal conditions of use or onlong motorway journeys, the perfor-mance of these tyres is lower than thatof standard tyres.

It is therefore necessary to limit theiruse to the purposes for which they arecertified.

IMPORTANT When snow tyresare used with a max. speed index be-low the one that can be reached bythe vehicle (increased by 5%), place anotice in the passenger compartment,plainly in the driver’s view which statesthe max. permissible speed of thesnow tyres (as per EC Directive).

All four tyres should be the same(brand and track) to ensure greatersafety when driving and braking andbetter driveability.

Remember that it is inappropriate tochange the direction of rotation oftyres.

The max. speed forsnow tyres with “T”marking , is 190 km/h. The

Road Traffic Code speed limitsmust however be always strictlyobserved.


106-118 Doblo GB 9-05-2008 12:09 Pagina 117


The following precautions should betaken if the vehicle will not be used forseveral months:

– Park the vehicle in covered, dry andif possible well-ventilated premises.

– Engage a gear.

– Make sure the handbrake is not en-gaged.

– Remove the cables from the bat-tery terminals (first remove the cableto the negative terminal), and checkthe battery charge. If the vehicle is tobe stored for long periods the chargeof the battery should be checkedevery month and recharged if it fallsbelow 12.5V.

IMPORTANT Where relevant,switch off the electronic alarm with theremote control.

– Clean and protect the painted partsusing protective wax.

– Clean and protect the shiny metalparts using special compounds readi-ly available.

– Sprinkle talcum powder on therubber windscreen and rear windowwiper blades and lift them off the glass.

– Slightly open the windows.

– Cover the vehicle with a cloth orperforated plastic sheet. Do not usesheets of non-perforated plastic asthey do not allow moisture on the ve-hicle body to evaporate.

– Inflate the tyres to 0.5 bar abovethe normal specified pressure andcheck it at intervals.

– Do not drain the engine coolingsystem.

BUMP STARTING IF A TYRE ISPUNCTURED

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Wheel changing and correct use ofthe jack and spare wheel call for someprecautions as listed below.

Catalysed vehicles mustnot be bump started(pushed, towed or coast-

ed down hill) as this could causefuel to flow into the catalytic ex-haust system and damage it be-yond repair.

Remember that untilthe engine has started thebrake booster and hy-

draulic power steering systemswill not work and a greater effortwill therefore be required to de-press the brake pedal or turn thesteering wheel.

Alert other drivers thatthe vehicle is stationary incompliance with local

regulations: hazard warninglights, warning triangle etc.Passengers on board should

leave the vehicle, especially if it isheavily laden. Passengers shouldstay away from oncoming trafficwhile the wheel is being changed.If the wheel is being changed on

a steep or badly surfaced road,place wedges or other suitablematerial under the wheels tostop the vehicle.The spare wheel is vehicle-spe-

cific. Never use the wheel on oth-er models. Never fit other mod-el spare wheels on your vehicle.

Do not use the jack forloads over the value indi-cated on the plate.

The jack should only be used tochange a wheel on the vehicle forwhich it was designed. It shouldnot be put to other uses or em-ployed to raise other models ofvehicle. Under no circumstancesshould it be used when carryingout repairs under the vehicle.An incorrectly positioned jack

may cause the vehicle to fall.

119-148 Doblo GB 9-05-2008 12:09 Pagina 121

122 IN AN EMERGENCY

To change a wheel proceed asfollows:

1) Stop the vehicle in a position thatis not dangerous for oncoming trafficwhere you can change the wheel safe-ly. The ground should be flat and ad-equately firm.

Do not lubricate the boltthreads before fittingthem back: they could

come loose.Fasten the wheel cap correctly

to prevent the wheel from com-ing free in motion.Never tamper with the inflation

valve.Never place tools between the

rim and tyre.Check the tyre and spare wheel

pressure regularly. The tyre in-flation pressure is shown in sec-tion “Technical specifications”.

CHANGING A WHEEL

Please note:– The jack weighs 1.85 kg– The jack requires no adjustments– The jack cannot be repaired. If it

breaks it must be replaced with a newjack– No tool with the exception of the

– make sure the compressor switchE-fig. 16f is set to 0 (off), start the en-gine and fit plug D-fig. 16e into thenearest current outlet and then turnon the compressor by setting switchE-fig. 16f to I (on). Inflate the tyre tothe pressure specified in paragraph“Inflation pressure” in section “Tech-nical Specifications”. Check tyre pres-sure on gauge F with compressor offto obtain precise reading;

– if after 5 minutes it is still impossi-ble to reach at least 1.5 bar, disengagecompressor from valve and currentoutlet, then move the vehicle forth forapprox. ten metres in order to dis-tribute the sealing fluid inside the tyreevenly, then repeat the inflation oper-ation;

– If after this operation it is still im-possible after 5 minutes to reach atleast 1.8 bar, do not start driving sincethe tyre is excessively damaged andthe quick tyre repair kit cannot guar-antee suitable sealing, contact FiatDealership;

– if reaching the tyre pressure spec-ified in paragraph “Inflation pressure”in section “Technical Specifications”,start driving immediately;

Apply the sticker in a vis-ible position for the driverto indicate that the tyre

has been treated with the quicktyre repair kit. Drive carefully es-pecially when cornering. Do notexceed 80 km/h. Avoid heavybraking and accelerating.

If the pressure falls be-low 1.8 bars, do not dri-ve any further: the quick

tyre repair kit Fix & Go auto-matic cannot guarantee properhold because the tyre is toomuch damaged. Contact FiatDealership.

– if at least 1.8 bar pressure is read,restore proper pressure (with enginerunning and handbrake on) andrestart;

– drive with the utmost care to thenearest Fiat Dealership.

129IN AN EMERGENCY

– after driving for about 10 minutesstop and check again the tyre pres-sure; pull up the handbrake;

It is of vital importanceto communicate that thetyre has been repaired us-

ing the quick tyre repair kit. Handthe instruction brochure to thepersonnel charged with treatingthe tyre repaired with the kit.

FOR CHECKING ANDRESTORING PRESSUREONLY

The compressor can be also usedjust for restoring pressure. Disconnectthe quick connection and connect itdirectly to the tyre valve; in this waythe cylinder is not connected to com-pressor and the sealing fluid will notflow into the tyre.

CYLINDER REPLACEMENTPROCEDURE

To replace the cylinder proceed asfollows fig. 16h:

– disconnect connection A; turncounter-clockwise the cylinder to re-place and raise it; fit the new cylinderand turn it clockwise; connect con-nection A to the cylinder and fit thetransparent tube B into the properspace.

IF A BULB BURNS OUT

Modifications or repairsto the electrical systemcarried out incorrectly

and without bearing the featuresof the system in mind can causemalfunctions with the risk of fire.

Only touch the metalpart when handling halo-gen bulbs. If the transpar-

ent bulb is touched it reduces theintensity of the light emitted andcan also reduce the life of thebulb. If you touch the bulb acci-dentally, rub it with a cloth moist-ened with alcohol and leave it todry.

You should have thebulbs replaced at a FiatDealership. Always check

the height of the headlight beamafter changing a bulb.

Halogen bulbs containpressurised gas which, ifbroken, may cause small

fragments of glass to be project-ed outwards.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

– When a light is not working, checkthat it has not fused before changingthe bulb.

– For the location of the fuses, re-fer to “If a fuse blows” in this chap-ter.

– Before replacing a bulb that doesnot work, check that the contacts arenot oxidised.

– Burnt-out bulbs must be replacedwith ones of the same type.

– Always check the height of theheadlight beam after changing a bulb.

IMPORTANT The headlight innersurface may be lightly misted over: thisis not a fault but a natural fact due tolow temperature and the level of airhumidity. It will disappear as soon theheadlights are turned on. The pres-ence of drops inside the headlightsmeans water infiltration, thereforecontact Fiat Dealership.

IF THE BATTERY IS FLAT

First of all, read the “Vehicle main-tenance” section for the steps to betaken to avoid the battery runningdown and to ensure it has a long life.

IF THE BATTERY IS FLAT

Charging should be slow at a lowamp rating for 24 hours. Charging fora longer time may damage the battery.

Proceed as follows:

1) Disconnect the electrical systemfrom the battery terminals.

IMPORTANT Where relevant,switch the electronic alarm off withthe remote control.

2) Connect the charger cables to thebattery terminals.

3) Turn on the charger.

4) When you have finished, turn thecharger off before disconnecting thebattery.

5) Reconnect the cables to the bat-tery terminals. Make sure the polari-ty is correct.

JUMP STARTING

See “Jump starting”, in this chapter.

The liquid in the batteryis poisonous and corro-sive. Do not let it touch

the skin or eyes. Recharging thebattery should be done in a well-ventilated area away from nakedflames or possible sources ofsparks: explosion and fire risk.

Do not attempt torecharge a frozen bat-tery. Thaw it first other-

wise it could explode. If the bat-tery froze, make sure that the in-ternal elements are not broken(short-circuit risk) and that thecasing is not cracked (risk ofspilling the poisonous and corro-sive fluid).

Under no circumstancesshould a battery chargerbe used to start the en-

gine: it could damage the elec-tronic systems and in particularthe ignition and injection controlunits.

– It is important to keep calm.

– If you are not directly involved inthe accident, stop at least ten metresaway from the accident.

– If you are on a motorway, do notobstruct the emergency lane withyour vehicle.

– Turn off the engine and turn on thehazard lights.

– At night, illuminate the scene of theaccident with your headlights.

– Act carefully, you must not risk be-ing run over.

– Mark the accident by putting thered triangle at the regulatory distancefrom the vehicle where it can be clear-ly seen.

– Call for rescue making the infor-mation you give as accurate as youcan. On the motorway use the specialcolumn-mounted emergency phones.

When towing the vehi-cle, you must comply withthe specific traffic regula-

tions regarding the tow hitch andhow to tow on the road.

Before starting to tow,turn the ignition key toMAR and then to STOP.

Do not remove the key. If the keyis removed, the steering lock en-gages automatically which pre-vents the wheels being turned.

While the vehicle is be-ing towed with the engineoff, remember that the

brake pedal and steering will re-quire more effort as you nolonger have the benefit of thepower brakes and power steer-ing. Do not use flexible cables totow. Avoid jerking. Whilst tow-ing, ensure that the coupling tothe vehicle does not damage thesurrounding components.

– In pile-ups on the motorway, par-ticularly when the visibility is bad,there is a high risk of other vehiclesrunning into those already stopped.Get out of the vehicle immediately andtake refuge behind the guard rail.

– If the doors are blocked, do not at-tempt to smash the windscreen to getout of the vehicle. It is made of layeredglass and is very hard. Side and rearwindows are much more easily bro-ken.

– Remove the ignition keys from thevehicles involved.

– If you can smell petrol or otherchemicals, do not smoke and makesure all cigarettes are extinguished.

– Use a fire extinguisher, blanket,sand or earth to put out fires no mat-ter how small they are. Never use wa-ter.

IF ANYONE IS INJURED

– Never leave the injured personalone. The obligation to provide as-sistance exists even for those not di-rectly involved in the accident.

– Do not congregate around the in-jured person.

– Reassure the injured person thathelp is on its way and will arrive soon.Stay close by to calm him/her down incase of panic.

– Unfasten or cut seat belts holdinginjured parties.

– Do not give an injured person any-thing to drink.

– Do not move an injured person un-less the following situations arise.

– Pull the injured person from the ve-hicle only if it risks catching fire, it issinking in water or is likely to fall overa cliff or similar. Do not pull his/herarms or legs, do not bend the headand, as far as possible, keep the bodyhorizontal.

– check tyre conditions/wear and ad-just pressure if required (including thespare wheel).

– check light system operation (head-lights, direction indicators, hazardlights, boot lights, passenger compart-ment lights, glovebox light, warninglights, etc.).

– check windscreen wiper/washeroperation, adjust nozzles.

– check windscreen/rear windowblade position/wear

– check front disk brake pad condi-tions and wear.

– check cleanness of bonnet andboot locks and lever cleanness and lu-brication

– sight inspect the conditions of: en-gine, gearbox, transmission, pipes andhoses (exhaust - fuel - brakes), rubberparts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc)brake and fuel hoses.

– check battery charge.

– visual check on various drive beltconditions.

– check and top up, if required, fluidlevels (engine coolant, brake fluid,windscreen washer fluid, battery fluid,etc.).

– change engine oil.

– change engine oil filter.

– replace pollen filter (where pro-vided).

ADDITIONALCHECKS

Every 1,000 km or before longtrips, check and top up as necessary:engine coolant level, brake fluid level,windscreen washer liquid level, tyrepressure and conditions.

Every 3,000 km check and top upas necessary: engine oil level.

You are recommended to use FLSelenia, products designed and pro-duced specifically for Fiat vehicles (see“Capacities” in section “Technicalspecifications”).

IMPORTANT - Engine oilShould prevailing use of the vehicle

be under one of the following special-ly heavy conditions:– towing a trailer– on dirty roads– for short, repeated trips (less than

7-8 km) with outside temperature be-low zero– frequently idling engines or long

distance low speed driving (e.g. taxisor door-to-door deliveries) or in caseof a long term inactivity; replace en-gine oil more frequently than requiredon Service schedule

IMPORTANT - Air cleanerIf the vehicle is used on dusty roads

change the air cleaner more frequentlythan the indications in the Serviceschedule. If in doubt as to how oftenthe engine oil and air cleaner shouldbe changed according to how you usethe vehicle, contact a Fiat Dealer-ship.

IMPORTANT - Pollen filter

If the vehicle is used frequently industy or heavily polluted environ-ments it is advisable to replace the fil-tering element more frequently; inparticular it should be replaced if a re-duction of the amount of air admittedto the passenger compartment is not-ed.

IMPORTANT - Battery

The charge in your battery should bechecked, where possible at the startof the winter, to limit the risk of thebattery electrolyte freezing. This checkshould be carried out more frequent-ly if the vehicle is mainly used for shorttrips or if it is fitted with accessoriesthat permanently take in electricityeven when the ignition key is re-moved, especially in the case of aftermarket accessories.

You should check the battery fluid(electrolyte) level more frequentlythan shown in the service schedule inthis chapter if the vehicle is used in hotclimates or particularly demandingconditions.

Maintenance of your ve-hicle should be entrustedto a Fiat Dealership. For

ordinary routine maintenanceoperations which you are able tocarry out yourself, ensure thatyou have the necessary tools andoriginal Fiat spare parts and flu-ids available. Do not carry outservicing operations if you haveno experience.

Used engine oil and re-placed oil filters containsubstances which can

harm the environment. We rec-ommend you have the vehicleseen to at a Fiat Dealership forthe oil and filter change. It is suit-ably equipped for disposing ofused oil and filters in an environ-mentally-friendly way that com-plies with the law.

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION

Max engine oil consumption is usu-ally 400 grams every 1000 km.

During the beginning of the vehicle’slife the engine is be tuned in. Engine oilconsumption can only be consideredstabilised after the first 5000 ÷ 6000km.

IMPORTANT Oil consumptiondepends on the driving style and theconditions of use.

IMPORTANT If, following a checkthe engine oil if move the MAX lev-el, go to a Fiat Dealership to havethe correct level restored.

IMPORTANT After topping up orchanging the oil, let the engine turn fora few seconds and wait a few minutesafter stopping it before you check thelevel.

The cooling system ispressurised. If necessary,replace the cap only with

another genuine one, otherwisesystem efficiency could be com-promised. Do not remove thereservoir cap when the engine ishot: you risk scalding yourself.

The coolant level shall be checkedwith cold engine and shall be withinthe MIN and MAX marks on thetank.

If the level is low, pour slowly a mix-ture of 50% distilled water and 50%PARAFLU UP of the FL SeleniaGroup through the filler neck until thelevel reaches MAX.

A 50-50 mixture of PARAFLU UPand distilled water gives freeze pro-tection to –35°C.

For particularly hard climate condi-tions, we recommend use of a 60%PARAFLU UP and 40% deminer-alized water mixture.

149-173 Doblo GB 9-05-2008 12:10 Pagina 159


Prevent brake fluid,which is highly corrosive,from coming into contact

with painted parts. Should it hap-pen, immediately wash with wa-ter.

Check that fluid contained in tank isat maximum level. If fluid has to beadded, it is suggested to use the brakefluid in table "Fluids and lubricants"(see chapter "Technical characteris-tics"). At plug opening, pay maximumattention in order to prevent any im-purities from entering the tank.

For topping up, always use a funnelwith integrated filter with mesh equalto or lower than 0.12 mm.

Incorrect fitting of elec-trical and electronic ac-cessories can seriously

damage the vehicle. If after buying the vehicle, you

want to install electric acces-sories which require permanentelectric supply (alarm, free-handphone kit, etc.) contact Fiat Deal-ership whose qualified personnel,in addition to suggesting themost suitable devices, will evalu-ate the overall electric absorp-tion, checking whether the vehi-cle electric system is capable ofwithstanding the load required,or whether it should be integrat-ed with a more powerful battery.

Batteries contain sub-stances that are veryharmful for the environ-

ment. You are advised to havethe battery changed at a FiatDealership. It is properlyequipped for disposing of usedbatteries in an environmentally-friendly way that complies withthe law.

The liquid in the batteryis poisonous and corro-sive. Avoid contact with

eyes and skin. Do not bring nakedflames or possible sources ofsparks near the battery: risk offire and explosion.

CHANGING THE BATTERY

If required, replace the battery witha genuine spare part having the samespecifications.

If a battery with different specifica-tions is fitted, the service intervals giv-en in the “Service schedule” in thissection will no longer be valid. Refertherefore to the instructions provid-ed by the battery manufacturer.

Running the batterywith low fluid level candamage the battery be-

yond repair and could also causeits explosion.

USEFUL ADVICE FORLENGTHENING THE LIFE OFYOUR BATTERY

To avoid draining your battery andlengthen its life, observe the follow-ing indications:

– when you park the vehicle, ensurethe doors, tailgate and bonnet areclosed properly;

If the vehicle is left inac-tive for long periods atcold, remove the battery

and store it in a warm place toprevent freezing.


IMPORTANT A battery which iskept at a charge of less than 50% forany length of time will be damaged bysulphation leading to a reduction incranking power and a higher risk ofthe battery electrolyte freezing (thismay even occur at –10°C).

If the vehicle is inactive for a long pe-riod of time, refer to the “Vehiclestorage” paragraph in section “Drivingyour vehicle”.

If you want to add accessories afterbuying the vehicle (alarm system, free-hand phone kit, etc.) visit a Fiat Deal-ership. They can suggest the most suit-able accessories to get and checkwhether the electric system can sup-port the required load or whether alarger capacity battery is required.

These devices will, in fact, run off thebattery even when the key is not in-serted (vehicle parked) and can deploythe battery.

– the ceiling lights must be off. Thevehicle is however provided with anautomatic system for switching off in-ternal lights;

– do not keep accessories (e.g. soundsystem, hazard lights, etc.) switched onfor a long time when the engine is notrunning;

– before performing any operationon the electrical system, disconnectthe battery negative cable;

– battery terminals shall always beperfectly tightened.

149-173 Doblo GB 9-05-2008 12:10 Pagina 165


ELECTRONICCONTROL UNITS

When the vehicle is being used nor-mally, special measures are not neces-sary.

The following instructions must befollowed very carefully, however, ifyou work on the electrical system orin cases where emergency starting isnecessary:

– Never disconnect the battery fromthe electrical system while the engineis running.

– Disconnect the battery from theelectrical system if you are recharg-ing it. The modern battery chargerscan discharge voltage up to 20V.

– Never perform emergency start-ups with a battery charger. Always usean auxiliary battery.

– Be particularly careful when con-necting the battery to the electricalsystem. Ensure the battery posts areconnected up to the right leads (the

Battery Maximum admitted

polarity is correct) and check that theconnection has been made properly.

– Do not connect or disconnect theterminals of the electronic units whilethe ignition key is at MAR.

– Do not check polarity throughsparking.

– Disconnect the electronic units ifyou are electrically welding the vehi-cle body. Remove the units if temper-atures exceed 80°C (special opera-tions on the bodywork, etc.).

IMPORTANT If the sound systemor alarm systems are not installed cor-rectly, they can interfere with theworking of the electronic controlunits.



The total intake of these systems(factory and after-market) must be lessthan 0.6 mA x Ah (of the battery) asshown in the following table:

Tyres must be replaced when thetread wears down to 1.6 mm. In anycase, comply with the laws in thecountry where the vehicle is being dri-ven.

IMPORTANT NOTES

As far as possible avoid sharp brak-ing and screech starts.

Be careful not to hit the kerb, pot-holes or other obstacles hard. Drivingfor long stretches over bumpy roadscan damage the tyres.

Periodically check that the tyres haveno cuts in the sidewalls, abnormalswelling or irregular tyre wear. If anyof these occur, have the vehicle seento at a Fiat Dealership.

If the pressure is too lowthe tyre overheats andthis can cause it serious

damage.

WHEELSAND TYRES

TYRE PRESSURE

Check the pressure of each tyre, in-cluding the spare, every two weeksand before long journeys.

The pressure must be checked whenthe tyre is rested and cold.

It is normal for the pressure to risewhen you are driving. If you have tocheck or restore the pressure whenthe tyres are warm, remember thatthe pressure value must be 0.3 barabove the specified value.

See “Wheels” in “Technical specifi-cations” for the correct tyre inflationpressure.

Avoid overloading your vehicle: thiscan seriously damage wheels and tyres.

If you get a flat tyre, stop immediatelyand change it so as not to damage thetyre, the wheel, the suspension andthe steering.

Tyres age even if they are not usedvery much. Cracking of the tread rub-ber and the side walls are a sign of thisageing. In any case, if the tyres havebeen fitted for more than six yearsthey should be examined by an expertwho can judge whether they are stillfit for use. Remember to check thespare tyre particularly carefully too.

If a replacement is necessary, alwaysuse new tyres and avoid using ones theorigin of which you are not certainabout.

The Fiat Doblò fits tubeless tyres.Under no circumstances use an innertube with these tyres.

If you replace a tyre it is a good ideato change the inflation valve, too.

To ensure the front and rear tyres allwear evenly, you are advised to changethe tyres over every 10-15 thousandkilometres keeping them on the sameside of the vehicle so as not to reversethe direction of rotation.

Do not change the tyresover in criss-cross fashionby moving a tyre from the

left hand side of the vehicle to theright and vice versa.

RUBBER TUBING

Follow the “Service Schedule” to theletter as concerns braking and fuel linerubber tubing. Ozone, high tempera-tures and long absence of fluid in thesystem can in fact cause the hardeningand cracking of the pipes with possi-ble loss of fluid. A careful check istherefore essential.

WINDSCREEN/REAR WINDOWWIPERS

BLADES

Periodically clean the rubber part us-ing special products; TUTELA PRO-FESSIONAL SC 35 is recommend-ed.

If the rubber blades are bent or wornthey should be replaced. In any casethey should be changed once a year.

A few simple notions can reduce thepossibility of damage to the blades:

– If the temperature falls to belowzero, make sure the rubber blade isnot frozen to the windscreen. If nec-essary, free it with a de-icing com-pound.

Driving with worn wiperblades is a serious hazard,because visibility is re-

duced in bad weather.

– Remove any snow that has settledon the glass: besides saving the bladesyou will avoid straining the electricwindscreen wiper motor and causingit to overheat.

– Do not operate the windscreen orrear window wipers on dry glass.

ADVICE FOR PRESERVINGTHE BODYWORK

Paint

Paintwork does not only serve anaesthetic purpose, but also protectsthe underlying sheet metal.

In the case of deep scrapes or scores,you are advised to have the necessarytouching up carried out immediatelyto avoid the formation of rust.

Only use genuine products whentouching up the paintwork (see “Body-work paint identification plate” in sec-tion “Technical specifications”).

Ordinary maintenance of the paint-work means washing it. The frequen-cy you should do this depends on theconditions and the environment thevehicle is driven in. For example, in ar-eas with a high level of air pollution oron roads sprinkled with road salt,wash the vehicle more frequently.

– The spraying of the underbody, en-gine compartment, inside the wheel-houses and other parts with wax-based products with a high protectivecapacity.

– Spraying plastic-coating materialsto protect the most exposed points:under the door, inside the wings, theedges etc.

– The use of “open” box sections toprevent condensation and water frombuilding up and rusting the inside ofthe parts.

BODY AND UNDERBODYWARRANTY

Your Fiat Doblò is covered by war-ranty against any original structural orbody part being perforated by rust.Refer to the Warranty Booklet for thegeneral terms.

BODYWORK

PROTECTION FROMATMOSPHERIC AGENTS

The main causes of rust are:

– atmospheric pollution

– salt and humidity in the atmosphere(coastal or very hot and humid areas)

– environmental conditions that arespecific to the season.

Not to be underestimated is also theabrasive action of wind-borne atmos-pheric dust and sand and mud andgravel raised by other vehicles.

For your Fiat Doblò, Fiat has usedleading-edge technological solutions toeffectively protect the body from rust.

These include:

– Painting systems and products thatmake the vehicle particularly resistantto rust and scratching.

– The use of zinc-plated sheet steelwhich is highly resistant to rust.

149-173 Doblo GB 9-05-2008 12:10 Pagina 171


Detergents pollute wa-ter. The vehicle musttherefore be washed in an

area equipped for the collectionand purification of the liquidsused while washing.

IMPORTANT The engine com-partment should be washed while theengine is cold and with the ignition keyat STOP. After washing, make surethat the various protections (e.g. rub-ber boots and various guards) havenot be removed or damaged.

To wash the vehicle properly:

1) Remove the aerial from the roofto prevent damaging it when washingthe vehicle in an automatic carwash.

2) Wash the body using a low pres-sure jet of water.

3) Wipe a sponge with a slightlysoapy solution over the bodywork,frequently rinsing the sponge.

4) Rinse well with water and drywith a jet of air or a chamois leather.

When drying the vehicle, be carefulto get at those parts which are not soeasily seen e.g. the door frames, bon-net and around the headlights wherewater can most readily collect. Youshould leave the vehicle out in theopen so that any water remaining canevaporate more easily.

Detergents pollute wa-ter. For this reason, thevehicle must be washed in

an area equipped for the collec-tion and purification of the liquidsused while washing.

Engine compartment

At the end of each winter season,carefully clean the engine compart-ment. Be careful not to direct the jetof water on the electronic controlunits. Have this done at a garage.

Do not wash the vehicle after it hasbeen parked in the sun or while thebonnet is hot: it could take the shineoff the paint.

Outside plastic parts must be cleanedfollowing the usual vehicle washingprocedure.

Where possible avoid parking the ve-hicle under trees; the resinous sub-stances that certain species of treeshed dull the paintwork and increasethe possibility of rust forming.

IMPORTANT Bird droppings mustbe washed off immediately and withgreat care as their acid is particularlyaggressive.

Windows

Use specific window cleaner prod-ucts to clean cloths to avoid scratch-ing the glass or damaging the trans-parency.

IMPORTANT To prevent damageto the electric heater element, wipe theinside of the heated rear window gen-tly in the same direction as the ele-ments.

149-173 Doblo GB 9-05-2008 12:10 Pagina 172


CLEANING SEATS AND FABRICS

– Remove dust with a soft brush andvacuum cleaner.

– Brush the seats with a dampsponge with water and a neutral soap.

PLASTIC PARTS INSIDE THEVEHICLE

Use appropriate products designedto preserve the appearance of com-ponents.

IMPORTANT Do not use alcoholor petrol to clean the instrument pan-el.

Do not keep aerosolcans in the vehicle. Thereis the risk they might ex-

plode. Aerosol cans must neverbe exposed to a temperatureabove 50°C; when the weatherstarts to get hot the temperatureinside the vehicle might go wellbeyond that figure.

INTERIORS

From time to time check that waterhas not collected under the mats(from dripping shoes, umbrellas etc.)which could cause the steel to rust.

Never use inflammableproducts such as petrole-um ether or petrol to

clean inside the vehicle. The elec-trostatic charges that are gener-ated while rubbing to clean couldbecome a fire risk.

STEERING WHEEL / GEARLEVER KNOB WITHGENUINE LEATHERCOVERING

These components shall only becleaned with water and neutral soap.Never use spirit or alcohol-basedproducts.

Before using special products forcleaning interiors, read carefully labelinstructions and indications to makesure they are free from spirit and/oralcohol-based substances.

If when cleaning the windscreen withspecial glass products, some drops fallon the leather covering of the steer-ing wheel/gear lever knob removethem immediately and then clean withwater and neutral soap.

IMPORTANT Take the utmostcare when engaging the steering lockto prevent scratching the leather cov-ering.

SPARK PLUGS

The cleanness and soundness of thespark plugs are very important forkeeping the engine efficient and pol-luting emissions down.

The appearance of the spark plug, ifexamined by an expert eyes, is a goodway of pinpointing a problem even if ithas nothing to do with the ignition sys-tem. Therefore, if the engine has prob-lems, it is important to have the sparkplugs checked at a Fiat Dealership.

The spark plugs must bechanged at the timesspecified in the service

schedule. Only use the type ofplugs indicated. If the heat ratiois less than required or the lifespecified is not guaranteed, prob-lems can arise.

UNDERSTANDING RIM MARKINGS

The following are the necessary in-dications to understand the meaningof the markings on the rim.

Example: 185/65 R 15 88 T

185 = Nominal width (S, distancebetween sidewalls in mm).

65 = Height/width ratio (H/S, as apercentage).

R = Radial tyre.

15 = Rim nominal diameter in inch-es (Ø).

88 = Load rating.

T = Maximum speed rating.

Example: 51/2J x 15 H2

51/2 = rim width in inches (1)

J = rim drop centre outline (sideprojection where the tyrebead rests) (2)

15 = rim nominal diameter in inch-es (corresponds to diameter ofthe tyre to be mounted) (3 =Ø)

fluence fuel consumption rateswhich can be different from thevalues shown in the table (see“Cheap running that respects theenvironment”).The fuel consumption figures given in

the table below are determined on thebasis of the homologation tests setdown by specific European Directives.

Consumption values are defined bymeans of the following procedures:

– urban cycle: consisting of a coldstart and a simulated drive in citystreets;

– extra-urban cycle: consisting infrequent accelerations, in all gears,simulating normal conditions of use.Speed ranges from 0 to 120 km/h;

– average combined cycle: con-sisting of 37% urban cycle and 63% ex-tra-urban cycle.

PROVISIONS FOR THE PROCESSING OF A VEHICLE AT THE END OF ITS LIFE-CYCLE

For years now Fiat has been developing its global commitment towards the safeguarding and protection of theEnvironment through the continuous improvement of its production processes and the making of increasingly more “ecofriendly” products. With a view to guaranteeing the best possible service to clients in full observance of environmentalstandards and in response to the obligations imposed by European Directive 2000/53/EC on end-of-life vehicles, Fiat offersits clients the possibility to hand in their vehicle* at the end of its life span without additional costs.

The European Directive, in fact, provides for the take-back of the vehicle without the last holder or owner of the sameincurring expenses due to the fact that the market value of the vehicle is zero or negative. In particular, in almost all ofthe countries of the European Union, up until 1st January 2007, take-back of the vehicle free of charge only applies to vehi-cles registered from 1 July 2002 on, while, from 2007 on, take-back will be carried out free of charge, independently ofthe year of registration, provided that the vehicle still contains all its essential component parts (especially engine andbody) and is free from additional waste materials.

Our contracted network of authorised treatment facilities has been carefully selected in order to provide a quality ser-vice to our customers by de-polluting and recycling “End of Life Vehicles” to approved environmental standards. To findout the location of your nearest authorised treatment facility, offering free of charge take-back, simply contact one of ourdealers or refer to the Fiat web site or call the toll free number 00800 3428 0000.

* Passenger transportation vehicles to seat a max. of nine persons, having a total admissible weight of 3.5 t
