REFUELLING

Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95. Diesel engines: refuel diesel engine vehicles with diesel fuel for motor vehicles meeting EN590 European Spec-

ifications only. The use of other products or mixtures may irreparably damage the engine with invalidation of the warranty due

to the damage caused.

STARTING THE ENGINE

Make sure that the handbrake is up. Put the gearbox in neutral. Press the clutch pedal fully without pressing the accelerator. At this point:

petrol engines: turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine starts. diesel engines: turn the ignition key to MAR and wait for the warning lights ¢ (Y) and m to go off; turn

the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.

PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL

The catalytic converter develops high temperature during operation, Do not park the vehicle on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other flammable material: fire hazard.

RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

The vehicle is equipped with a system for continuously monitoring emissions control system components to ensure environmental-friendlier running.

쇵

ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES

If you want to add electrically powered accessories after buying the vehicle (with the risk of gradually draining the battery) visit a Fiat Dealership. They will evaluate the overall electrical intake and check whether the electric system can support the required load.

CODE card

Keep the code card in a safe place, not in the vehicle. You should always keep the electronic card code written on the CODE card with you.

SCHEDULED SERVICING

Correct maintenance will preserve your vehicle’s performance, safety features, environmental-friendliness and low running costs in time.

THE OWNER HANDBOOK CONTAINS …

…information, tips and important warnings regarding the safe, correct driving of your vehicle, and its maintenance. Pay particular attention to the symbols "(personal safety) #(environmental protection) â(the vehicle wellbeing).

WELCOME ABOARD Fiat Doblò

Fiat Doblò is a compact vehicle with an original bodyline, designed to offer great driving comfort, ensure safe-

ty and be a real friend to the environment.

Everything, from its new engines to its safety devices, from its improved comfort for driver and passengers alike to its practical solutions, contributes to make you appreciate your Fiat Doblò’s personality.

And you will realise it later when you discover that its driving style and performance goes hand in hand with

new manufacturing processes that help cut running costs.

The Fiat Doblò, for example, needs to be taken in for its first servicing after 20,000 km.

The signs you see on this page are very important. They highlight those parts of the handbook where, more than

anywhere else, you should stop for a minute and read carefully.

As you can see, each sign has a different symbol to make it immediately clear and easy to identify the subjects in the different areas:

THE SIGNS TO HELP YOU DRIVE CORRECTLY

Personal safety.

Important: total or partial failure to follow these instructions can place driver, passengers or others in serious danger.

Protecting the environment.

This shows you the correct procedures to follow to ensure that the vehicle does not harm the environment.

Vehicle well-being.

Important. Total or partial failure to follow these instructions will result in the risk of serious damage to the vehicle and may invalidate the warranty as well.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

SYMBOLS

Special coloured labels have been attached near or actually on some of the components of your Fiat Doblò. These labels bear symbols that remind you of the precautions to be taken as regards that particular component.

Plate A-fig. 1 summarising the symbols used can be found under the bonnet.

THE FIAT CODE SYSTEM

To further protect your vehicle from theft, it has been fitted with an engine immobilising system (Fiat CODE system) which is automatically activated when the ignition key is removed.

An electronic device, in fact, is fitted in each ignition key grip. The device transmits a radio-frequency signal when the engine is started through a special aerial built into the ignition switch. The modulate signal, which changes each time the engine is started, is the password by means of which the control unit recognises the key and enables to start the engine.

KEYS fig. 2

The following keys are provided with

the vehicle:

– two keys A when the vehicle is not

equipped with remote control;

– key A and key B when the vehicle is equipped with door lock remote control.

– Key A is the key that is used normally. It will:

– start the engine;

– lock/unlock front doors;

– lock/unlock the rear doors or the

tailgate;

– lock/unlock the side doors, Cargo

versions only;

– deactivate the passenger’s airbag.

The key B, with a built-in remote control, has the same functions as key A in vehicles with door lock remote control.

The CODE card fig. 3 is also supplied with the keys and bears the following:

a - the electronic code to be used for emergency starting (see “Emergency start-up” in section “In an emergency”);

b - the mechanical key code to be given to the Fiat Dealership when ordering duplicate keys.

Keep the CODE card in a safe place.

Make sure you have the electronic code of the CODE card with you at all times in the event you have to perform an emergency start-up.

OPERATION

Each time the ignition key is turned to STOP, or PARK, the protection system will automatically immobilise the engine.

When the key is turned to MAR to start the engine:

1) if the code is recognised the ¢

(Y) warning light on the instrument panel will flash briefly; this means the protection system has recognised the key code and deactivates the immobiliser, turn the key to AVV, and the engine will start.

2) If the warning light ¢ (Y) stays

on, the code was not recognised. In this case, turn the key to STOP and then back to MAR. If the engine re-

mains immobilised, try with the other key provided.

If you are still unable to start the engine, use the emergency starting procedure (see “In an emergency”) and take your vehicle to the nearest Fiat Dealership.

When the vehicle is travelling and the key is at MAR:

1) if the warning light ¢(Y) comes

on while the vehicle is moving, this means that the system is running a selftest (e.g. due to a voltage drop).

2) if the warning light ¢ (Y) flash-

es, the vehicle is not protected by the engine immobiliser. Contact a Fiat Dealership immediately and get them to store the codes of all the keys in the memory.

IMPORTANT The electronic components inside the key may be damaged if the key is subjected to sharp knocks.

IMPORTANT Each key provided with the vehicle has its own code, different from all the others, which must be stored in the memory of the system control unit.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

DUPLICATE KEYS

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

The codes of any keys that are not handed over when the new storage procedure is carried out will be deleted from the memory to prevent any lost or stolen keys being used to start the vehicle.

All the keys and the CODE card must be handed over to the new owner when selling the vehicle.

DOOR LOCK REMOTE CONTROL

The remote control is built into the ignition key. Press button A-fig. 4 to lock and unlock the doors.

Press button A to operate the system. LED B (where required) will flash while the transmitter is sending the code to the receiver.

The ceiling light and map-reading light will come on for the predefined time when the doors are unlocked with the remote control.

For ordering additional remote controls or replacing the batteries, see the following paragraphs.

IMPORTANT The remote control system frequency can be disturbed by significant radio transmissions outside the vehicle (e.g: mobile phones, HAM radio systems, etc.) that could cause remote control malfunctioning.

Ministerial homologation

In accordance with the legislation covering radio frequencies in force in each country, we should like to point out that:

– the market-specific homologation numbers are listed in the paragraph “Radio-frequency remote controls” in section “Technical specifications”.

– for markets requiring transmitter marking, the transmitter code is printed on the remote control.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

ORDERING ADDITIONAL REMOTE CONTROLS

The system can recognise up to 8 keys with incorporated remote control.

If additional remote controls are required for any reasons, go to a Fiat Dealership, taking all the keys you own and the CODE card with you.

REPLACING THE BATTERIES

Change the batteries (using spare batteries of the same kind) as follows. Open the plastic case by inserting a screwdriver in recess A-fig. 5. Insert new batteries B respecting the polarity and close the plastic case.

SEAT BELTS

USING THE SEAT BELTS

The belt should be worn keeping the chest straight and rested against the seat back.

Take hold of the tongue A-fig. 6. Insert it into the buckle B, until you hear it clicks.

At removal, if it jams, let it rewind for a short stretch, then pull it out again without jerking.

Used batteries are harmful to the environment. They should be dis-

posed of as specified by law in the special containers provided, or take them to a Fiat Dealership, which will deal with their disposal.

F0A0006b

Every rear seat (where provided) is fitted with inertial seat belts with three anchor points and reel.

IMPORTANT Before fastening the seat belts make sure the seat is properly anchored.

7-seat versions

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

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

wearing seat belts also represent a serious danger to the passengers in the front seats.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

To unfasten the seat belts, press button C. Guide the seat belt with your hand while it is rewinding, to prevent it from twisting.

Through the reel, the belt automatically adapts to the body of the passenger wearing it, allowing freedom of movement.

When the vehicle is parked on a steep slope the reel mechanism may block; this is normal. The reel mechanism prevents the webbing coming out when it is jerked or if the vehicle brakes sharply, as in a collision or when cornering at high speed.

Never press button C

when travelling.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

ADJUSTING THE FRONT SEAT BELT HEIGHT

fig. 8

F0A0008b

Always adjust the height of the seat belt to fit the person wearing it. This could greatly reduce the risk of injury in the case of collision.

The belt is adjusted properly when the webbing passes approximately halfway between the edge of the shoulder and the neck. Four height adjustments are possible.

After you have made the adjustment, always make sure that the loop is at-

tached firmly in one of the fixed positions and cannot move. To do this, with the button released, exert a further pressure to allow the anchoring device to catch if release did not take place at one of the preset positions.

Make the height adjustment when the vehicle is stationary.

PRETENSIONERS

The Fiat Doblò (with passenger's air bag ) is fitted with pretensioners on the front side seats to improve the protection provided by the seat belts. These devices “feel”, that a violent collision is in progress via a sensor and pull back a few inches of webbing. In this way the pretensioner ensures that the belt is adhering perfectly to the body before the belt begins to hold back the wearer.

The seat belt locks to indicate that the device has intervened; the seat belt cannot be drawn back up even when guiding it manually.

IMPORTANT The pretensioner will give maximum protection when the seat belt adheres snugly to the wearer’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 to the required position.

Check that the seat belt is locked in position by pushing down on loop A without pressing knob B.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Some smoke may be produced when the pretensioners are fired. This smoke is harmless and does not indicate the principle of a fire.

The pretensioner does not require any maintenance or greasing. Anything that modifies its original conditions invalidates its efficiency. If due to unusual natural events (floods, seas storm, etc.) the device has been affected by water and mud, it must necessarily be replaced.

Operations involving banging, vibrations or heating (exceeding 100°C

for a maximum of 6 hours) in the area around the pretensioner may trigger or damage the device. Vibrations from rough road surfaces or accidental jolting caused by mounting pavements etc. do not have any effect on the pretensioner. If, however, you need any assistance, go to a Fiat Dealership.

Load limiting device

This device reduces the load with is normally exerted by the seat belts on the passenger’s shoulder and chest in a collision. It increases protection by preventing the micro traumas which are inevitable in road accidents (also in vehicles with airbags). The device is built into the belt reel.

The pretensioner can only be used once. Following a collision that has

triggered it, have it replaced at a Fiat Dealership. Pretensioner validity is written on the plate, fig. 9, set inside the glove box. Have pretensioners replaced at a Fiat Dealership as this date approaches.

F0A0421b

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

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

and make sure the seat belt fits closely across your chest and hips. Always fasten seat belts, in front and rear seats! Travelling without seat belts increases the risk of severe and fatal injury in the event of a crash.

fig. 10

F0A0010b

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE SEAT BELTS

The driver is responsible for respecting and enforcing the local rules and laws regarding the use of seat belts.

Always fasten the seat belts before starting.

The webbing must not be twisted. The upper section must pass across

the shoulder and chest diagonally. The lower part must fit closely across the passenger’s hips, fig. 10, and not the abdomen, to prevent them from sliding forwards. Do not use clips, fasteners etc. to prevent the belt adhering to the passenger’s body.

Under no circumstances should the components of seat belts and preten-

sioners be tampered with or removed. Any interventions should be carried out by qualified and authorised personnel. Always contact a Fiat Dealership.

If the belt has been subjected to heavy stress, for example after an acci-

dent, it should be changed completely together with the anchors, anchor fastening screws and the pretensioners. In fact, even if the belt has no visible defects, it could have lost its resilience.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

fig. 12

F0A0012b

F0A0011b

Seat belts must also be worn by expectant mothers: the risk of injury in the case of accident is much greater for them and their unborn child too if they do not have a seat belt on. Of course they must position the lower part of the belt very low down so that it 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 and are free to wind in and out.

2) Following a serious accident, replace the belt being worn at that time, even if it does not seem damaged. Always replace the seat belts if pretensioners have been activated.

3) When cleaning the belts, wash them by hand with water and neutral soap, rinse them and let them dry in the shade. Do not use strong detergents, bleach, colouring or any other chemical substance that could weaken the belt fibres.

4) Do not allow the reel mechanisms to get wet: they are only guaranteed to work properly if they remain dry.

5) Replace the seat belt when showing significant wear or cut signs.

Never travel with a child sitting on the passenger’s lap with a single belt to

protect them both, fig. 11. Do not fasten other objects to the body.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

TRANSPORTING CHILDREN SAFELY

For optimal protection in the event of a crash, all passengers must be seated and wearing adequate restraint systems.

This is even more important for children.

This prescription is compulsory in all EC countries according to EC Directive 2003/20/EC.

Compared with adults, their head is proportionally larger and heavier than the rest of the body, while the muscles and bone structure are not completely developed. Therefore, correct restraint systems are necessary, other then adult seat belts.

SERIOUS DANGER: Never place cradle child’s seats not facing the running direction on the front seat of vehicles with passenger’s airbag, which during inflation could cause

serious injury, even mortal. You are advised to carry children always on the 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 seats of vehicles with passenger’s airbag, which during inflation could cause serious injury, even mortal, regardless of the seriousness of the crash that triggered it. Children may be placed on the front seat of vehicles fitted with passenger’s airbag deactivation. In this case, it is absolutely necessary to check the warning light Fon the instrument panel to make sure that deactivation has actually taken place (see paragraph F

RONT AND SIDE AIRBAGS AT ITEMFRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG

). The front passenger’s seat shall be adjusted in the most backward position to prevent any contact between child’s seat and dashboard.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

The results of research on the best child restraint systems are contained in the European Standard ECE-R44. This Standard enforces the use of restraint 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

Group 2 15-25 kg in weight

Group 3 22-36 kg in weight

The groups partially overlap. This is because there are systems which cover more than one weight group.

All restraint devices must bear the certification data, together with the control brand, on a solidly fixed label which must absolutely never be removed.

Over 1.50 m in height, from the point of view of restraint systems, children are considered as adults and wear the seat belts normally.

Lineaccessori Fiat offers seats for each weight group, which are the recommended choice, as they have been designed and experimented specifically for Fiat vehicles.

GROUP 0 and 0+

Babies up to 13 kg must be carried facing backwards on a cradle seat, which, supporting the head, does not induce stress on the neck in the event of sharp deceleration.

The cradle is restrained by the vehicle seat belts, as shown in fig. 14 and in turn it must restrain the child with its own belts.

The figure is only an example for mounting. Attain to the instructions

for fastening which must be enclosed with the specific child restraining system you are using.

GROUP 1

Children from 9 to 18 kg are to be seated facing forward in child seats with front cushion fig. 15. The vehicle seat belt secures both seat and child.

fig. 14

F0A0440b

fig. 15

F0A0441b

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Seats exist which are suitable for covering weight groups 0 and 1

with a rear connection to the vehicle belts and their own belts to restrain the child. Due to their size, they can be dangerous if installed incorrectly fastened to the vehicle belts with a cushion. Carefully follow the instructions for installation provided with the seat.

GROUP 2

Children from 15 to 25 kg can be secured directly with the vehicle seat belts. The seat has the purpose of positioning the child correctly with respect to the seat belt so that the diagonal section crosses the child’s chest (never the child’s throat) and the horizontal section fits snugly on the child’s hips (and not the child’s abdomen) fig.

16.

GROUP 3

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

Fig. 17 shows proper child seat positioning on the rear seat.

Children taller than 1.50 m can wear seat belts like adults.

The figure is only an example. Attain to the instructions for fastening

which must be enclosed with the specific child restraint system you are using.

6) Always check the seat belts do

not fit around the child’s throat.

7) While travelling, do not let the child sit incorrectly or release the belts.

8) Passengers should never carry children on their laps. No-one, however strong they are, can hold a child in the event of a crash.

9) Replace the child restraint system after an accident.

To sum up the safety precautions to follow when transporting children.

1) The recommended position for

installing child’s seat is on the rear seat, as it is the most protected in the case of a crash.

3) Attain to the instructions for fastening the specific child restraint system which you are using. These instructions must be provided by the manufacturer. Keep the child restraint system installation instructions with the vehicle documents and with this Handbook. Never use a child restraint system without installation instructions.

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

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

In vehicles fitted with passenger airbag, never place child’s restraint sys-

tems on the front seat.

2) If the passenger’s airbag is deac-

tivated always check the warning light

on the instrument panel to make sure that it has actually been deactivated.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Never remove the ignition key while the vehicle is moving. The steering

wheel would automatically lock as soon as you try to turn it. This also applies when the vehicle is being towed.

It is absolutely forbidden to carry out whatever after-market operation in-

volving steering system or steering column modifications (e.g.: installation of anti-theft device) that could badly affect performance and safety, cause the lapse of warranty and also result in non-compliance of the vehicle with homologation requirements.

IGNITION DEVICE

The key can be turned to 4 different

positions fig. 26:

– STOP: engine off, key can be removed, steering column locked. Some electrical devices can be worked (e.g. sound system, electric window winders).

– MAR: drive position. All electrical devices can be used.

– AVV: engine ignition.

– PARK: engine off, parking lights on, steering column locked. Press button A and turn the key to PARK.

fig. 26

F0A0018b

If the ignition device is tampered with (e.g.: attempted theft), have it

checked over by a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.

When you get out of the vehicle, always remove the ignition key. This will

prevent anyone from accidentally working the controls. Remember to apply the handbrake and, if the vehicle is faced down on a steep slope engage the first gear. If it is facing up, engage the reverse gear. Never leave unsupervised children in the vehicle.

STEERING COLUMN LOCK

To engage the lock: remove the

ignition key at STOP or PARK and turn the steering wheel until it locks.

To release the lock: rock the steering wheel slightly as you turn the ignition key to MAR.

IMPORTANT The electronic system progressively blocks fuel flow to prevent engine from overrevving. This will lead to a progressive loss of engine power. When the engine is idling, the rev counter may indicate a gradual or sudden highering of the speed. This is normal as it takes place during normal operation, for example when activating the climate control system or the fan. In particular a slow change in the speed preserves the battery charge.
