Moving the vehicle when
the crossmember is not
fastened in its housing can
cause severe damage to the load
compartment structure. Fur-
thermore, only the bottom of the
rear doors would be locked and
this could damage the hinges.
IMPORTANTArrange the load
evenly along the crossmember and fas-
ten it with ropes or similar.
IMPORTANTNever leave the
crossmember unfastened while the ve-
hicle is moving.

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).

REAR DOUBLE DOORS
The double rear doors are fitted with
a catch which stops the opening at an
angle of approximately 90°.
The catch system is de-
signed to ensure the best
comfort in use. An acci-
dental knock or gust of wind
could release the doors and make
them close.
It is possible to increase the
opening angle of the two doors to
facilitate loading and unloading
operations. Force the doors
open. This will allow opening the
doors by approximately 180°.Opening the first door from the

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.
TAILGATE

To open the tailgate from the out-
side, turn the ignition key in lock
fig. 118and pull handle Ain the di-
rection of the arrow.
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.

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.

stops working for about two minutes.
In these two minutes, the doors can
be locked or unlocked manually with-
out the electrical system coming into
play. After the two minutes, the con-
trol unit is ready to receive commands

HEADLIGHTS
ADJUSTING THE
HEADLIGHT BEAM
The correct positioning of the head-
light beams is very important for the
comfort and safety, not only of the
person driving the vehicle but also all
other road users.
This is also covered by a specific law.
To ensure you and other drivers
have the best visibility conditions when
travelling with the headlights on, the
headlights must be set properly.
Have the headlight positioning
checked at a Fiat Dealershipand ad-
justed if necessary.SLANT COMPENSATION
The vehicle is fitted with an electri-
cal device for correcting the headlight
slant. The device can be operated with
ignition key at MARand dipped
beams on.
When the vehicle is loaded, it
“slopes” backwards. This means that
the headlight beam rises. In this case,
it is necessary to return it to the cor-
rect position.
Proceed as follows:
– hold button B-fig. 139pressed to
increase by one position (e.g.: 0➟1,
1➟2, 2➟3);
– hold button Apressed to decrease
by one position (e.g.: 3➟2, 2➟1, 1➟0).
Display Cshows the positions dur-
ing the adjustment.

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
S TAT I O NPETROL 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.
