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 MARand wait for the warning lights ¢(Y) and mto 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.

The ladder shall only be
tilted with the vehicle sta-
tionary and the door
open.
52GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
You cannot open the
left-hand sliding side door
while refuelling when the
flap is open (see “At the filling
station” in this section).
Versions with two sliding side
doors
Open either of the two sliding side
doors to access the rear seats. ACCESSING
THE REAR SEATS
Versions with one sliding side
door (on passenger side)
From passenger’s side: open the
sliding side door.
From driver’s side:pull handle F-
fig. 59aupwards to tip the seat back.
Once you have let go of the lever,
check that the seat is firmly locked in
the runners by trying to move it back
and forth.In the event of an emer-
gency, you can get out of
the rear seats from the
driver’s side by tilting the driver’s
seat.

75GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Check that it is safe to
open a door before doing
so.
Make sure that the left-
hand sliding side door is
completely closed before
refuelling (see “At the filling sta-
tion” in this chapter). You could
damage the door and the sliding
lock system which comes into
play when the fuel flap is open.
You cannot open the
left-hand sliding side door
while refuelling when the
flap is open (see “At the filling
station” in this chapter).
SIDE DOORSIn Doblò Cargo versions, the side
sliding door is fitted with a catch which
stops it when it is fully open: to release
the catch, simply push the door against
the catch and pull it forwards force-
fully.
In any case, always make sure that
the door is correctly fastened in the
door open catch.
Do not leave the vehicle
parked on a steep slope
with the sliding door
open. An involuntary knock could
release the door and make it
slide.
When leaving the vehi-
cle parked with the sliding
doors open, always check
that the door hooks are properly
fastened into the retaining device
to ensure it remains fully open.
Improper use of the
electric windows can be
dangerous. Before and
during their operation ensure
that any passengers are not at
risk from the moving glass either
by personal objects getting
caught in the mechanism or by
being injured by it directly. Al-
ways remove the ignition key
when you get out of the vehicle
to prevent the electric windows
being operated accidentally and
constituting a danger to the peo-
ple left in the vehicle.
On driver’s side there is a button A-
fig. 109for automatic operation.
Press the button for longer than one
second: the window will stop when it
reaches the end of its travel (or until
the button is pressed again).

79GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
When using the boot,
make sure the load you
are carrying does not ex-
ceed the permitted weight (see
“Technical specifications”). Also
ensure the items in the boot are
arranged properly to prevent
them being thrown forwards and
injuring passengers should you
brake sharply. Do not travel with
the tailgate open: exhaust gas
could filter into the passenger
compartment.
If you are travelling in
areas where refuelling
can be difficult and you
want to carry a can of petrol, fol-
low the law in force. Use a ho-
mologated can and secure it ad-
equately. Even given these pre-
cautions, the risk of fire in the
event of an accident is increased.
Do not use the key as a
handle to open the tail-
gate. You could damage
it.
The opening of the boot is made eas-
ier by the gas-filed struts on each side.
IMPORTANTFit the key well into
the lock before turning it.
You will be able to open the tailgate
with the key only if you remove the
key from the lock after turning it by 45
degrees.
To close, lower the tailgate until the
lock clicks.
CENTRAL DOOR LOCKING
SYSTEM
From the outside
With the doors closed, fit and turn
the key in one of the front door locks.IMPORTANTAdjust the height of
the dipped headlight beam when trav-
elling at night with a rather heavy load
in the boot (see “Headlights” in this
chapter).
Make sure the load does not exceed
the values shown in “Weights” para-
graph, “Technical specifications” chap-
ter for correct operation of the head-
light adjustment device.
Do not knock the tail-
gate into objects on the
roof rack when you open
it.

102GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
DIESEL ENGINES
Use diesel fuel for motor
vehicles complying with
European specifications
EN590 only. The use of other
products or mixtures may dam-
age the engine beyond repair and
invalidate the warranty. If the
tank is accidentally filled with oth-
er types of fuel, do not start the
engine and drain the tank. If the
engine has run even for a very
short time, you will also need to
drain the fuel supply circuit.AT THE FILLING
STATIONPETROL ENGINES
Use only unleaded petrol.
To prevent errors, the diameter of
the 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.
IMPORTANTAn inefficient cat-
alytic converter will allow harmful ex-
haust fumes to be emitted and thus
contribute to air pollution.
IMPORTANTNever put even the
tiniest amount of leaded petrol in the
fuel tank of your vehicle even in an
emergency. You would damage the
catalytic converter beyond repair. Make sure that the left-
hand sliding side door is
completely closed before
refuelling. You could damage the
door and the sliding lock system
which comes into play when the
fuel flap is open.
You cannot open the
left-hand sliding side door
while refuelling when the
flap is open.

103GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
If the outside temperature is very
low, the diesel thickens due to the for-
mation of paraffin and could clog the
fuel filter.
In order to avoid these problems, dif-
ferent types of diesel are distributed
according to the season: summer type,
winter type and arctic type (cold
mountain areas).
If refuelling with diesel fuel not ade-
quate, you are recommended to add
TUTELA DIESEL ARTto 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, carry
out two refuelling operations after the
first click of the fuel delivery gun.
Avoid further topping up operations
that could cause damages to the fuel
system.FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 150
Make sure that the left-
hand sliding side door is
completely closed before
refuelling. You could damage the
door and the sliding lock system
which comes into play when the
fuel flap is open.
You cannot open the

To open:
1)Turn the cap by approximately half
a turn anticlockwise and remove it.
IMPORTANTThe hermetic clo-
sure may cause a slight pressure in the
tank: a slight hissing when turning the
cap is quite normal.
2)While you are filling up, place the
cap on the fuel filler flap as illustrated
in 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.
