EBD failure
EBD failure is indicated by warning lights
>andxin the
instrument panel coming on (together with the appropri-
ate message on the multifunction display on some versions)
(see “Warning lights and messages”).
In this case, the rear wheels may suddenly lock and the ve-
hicle may swerve when braking sharply. Drive carefully
to the nearest Fiat Service Network to have the system
checked.
FAILURE INDICATIONS
ABS failure
ABS failure is indicated by warning light
>in the instru-
ment panel coming on (together with the appropriate mes-
sage on the multifunction display on some versions) (see
“Warning lights and messages”).
In the case, the braking system will work as normal with-
out the extra capacity offered by the ABS system. Drive
carefully to the nearest Fiat Service Network to have the
system checked.
If the ABS intervenes, it means you have
almost reached the grip limit between the
tyres and the road surface: slow down to make
sure you can use the available grip.
WARNING
The ABS gets the most out of the available
grip, but it cannot increase it; you must
therefore always take care when driving on slip-
pery roads. Do not take any unnecessary risks.
WARNING
If only warning light xlights up in the in-
strument panel (with a message in the
multifunction display on some versions), stop the
vehicle immediately and contact the nearest Fiat
Service Network. Fluid leaking from the hydraulic
system will compromise the operation of the brak-
ing system, whether it is of the conventional type
or with ABS.

EOBD SYSTEM
The EOBD system (European On Board Diagnosis) allows
continuous diagnosis of emission-related components on
the vehicle. It also alerts the driver, by turning on warn-
ing light Uin the instrument panel (together with the rel-
evant message in the display on some versions), when
these components are no longer in peak condition (see
“Warning lights and messages” section).
The goal of the system is to:
❒keep the system efficiency under control;
❒warn about increased emissions due to a vehicle mal-
function;
❒warn of the need to replace deteriorated components.
The system also has a diagnostic connector that can be in-
terfaced with appropriate equipment, which makes it pos-
sible to read the error codes memorized in the control
unit together with a series of specific parameters for en-
gine operation and diagnosis.
This check can also be carried out by traffic authorities.
WARNING After eliminating the problem, to check the
system completely, Fiat Service Network run a bench test
and, if necessary, road tests which may also call for a long
journey.
Go to the Fiat Service Network as soon
as possible if warning light
Udoes not
light up when the ignition key is turned to MAR
or if, while travelling, the warning light comes on
either permanently or flashing (along with a mes-
sage on the display on certain versions). The op-
eration of the
Uwarning light may be checked
by the traffic authorities using specific devices. Re-
spect the regulations in force in the country where
you are driving.
WARNING
SPEED BLOCK
(for versions/markets where provided)
The vehicle is equipped with a speed limitation function
that can be set at the user’s request to one of four pre-
defined values: 90, 100, 110, 130 km/h.
To activate/deactivate this function, contact the Fiat Ser-
vice Network.
Following the operation, a sticker will be applied to the
windscreen showing the top speed setting.
WARNING The speedometer could show a higher top
speed than the one set by the Dealership in accordance
with the regulations in force.

REFUELLING CAPACITY
To fill the tank completely, top up twice after the pump
switches off. Further top ups could cause faults in the fu-
el supply system. If using/parking the vehicle in mountainous/cold areas for
a long time, you should refuel with locally available diesel.
In this case, it is also advisable to keep the tank over 50% full.
For diesel engines, use only diesel fuel for
motor vehicles in accordance with EN590
European specifications. The use of other
products or mixtures may damage the engine be-
yond repair and consequently invalidate the war-
ranty, depending on the damage caused. If you ac-
cidentally introduce other types of fuel into the
tank, do not start the engine. Empty the tank. If the
engine has run, even for a very short time, you will
need to have the entire fuel supply system emptied
in addition to the tank.
FUEL TANK CAP fig. 109
To open
1) Open the flap A-fig. 109 by pulling it outwards, keep the
cap B still, insert the ignition key in the lock and turn it an-
ticlockwise.
2) Turn the cap anticlockwise and remove it. The cap has
a device C that attaches it to the flap so it cannot be lost.
When refuelling, attach the cap to the flap as illustrated
in the diagram.

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The devices for reducing petrol engine emissions are the
following:
❒three-way catalytic converter;
❒Lambda sensors;
❒evaporation prevention system.
In addition, do not let the engine run, even for a test, with
one or more spark plugs disconnected.
The following devices are used for reducing diesel fuel en-
gine emissions:
❒oxidising catalytic converter;
❒exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR);
❒diesel particulate filter (DPF) (for versions/markets
where provided). To close
1) Fit the cap (complete with key) and turn it clockwise
until it clicks once or more.
2) Turn the key clockwise and extract it, then close the
flap.
The hermetic seal may cause a slight increase in pressure
in the tank. A suction noise when you release the cap is
therefore entirely normal.
Do not place naked flames or lit cigarettes
near to the fuel tank opening: fire risk. Keep
your face away from the fuel tank open-
ing to avoid breathing in harmful vapours.

Through the reel, the belt automatically adapts to the body
of the passenger wearing it, allowing freedom of move-
ment.
The reel may lock up when the vehicle is parked on a steep
slope: this is perfectly normal. Furthermore, the reel mech-
anism locks the belt if it is pulled sharply or in the event
of sudden braking, collisions and high-speed bends.SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS fig. 110
Wear the belt keeping the torso upright and rested against
the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold tongue A-fig. 1 and insert it
into buckle B until it locks into place.
If the seat belt jams, let it rewind for a short stretch, then
pull it out again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button C. Guide the seat
belt with your hand while it is rewinding, to prevent it
from twisting.
SAFETY
Never press button C-fig. 110 when trav-
elling.
WARNING
All rear seats are fitted with inertia seat belts with three
anchor points and a reel.
Remember that, in the event of a violent
collision, back-seat passengers not wear-
ing seat belts represent a serious danger to the
front-seat passengers as well as to themselves.

INDEXSBR SYSTEM
The vehicle is equipped with the SBR (Seat Belt Reminder)
system, which warns the driver (on all versions) and the
front passenger (on Doblò/Doblò Combi versions) if their
seat belt is not fastened, as follows:
❒warning light sounds continuously for the first six seconds;
❒warning light mittently for the next 90 seconds.
For permanent deactivation, contact a Fiat Dealership.
The SBR system can also be reactivated through the set-
up menu.
PRETENSIONERS
To increase the protective efficiency of the front seat belts,
the vehicle is fitted with pretensioners. These devices, in
the event of a violent head-on crash or side impact, rewind
the seat belts a few centimetres. In this way, they ensure
that the belts fit tightly to the wearer before the restraining
action begins.
The seat belt reel locks to indicate that the pretensioner
has cut in; the seat belt cannot be drawn back up even
when guided manually.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest degree of protection
from the action of the pretensioning device, wear the seat
belt so it fits snugly over the chest and hips.
A small amount of smoke may be produced when the pre-
tensioners cut in. This smoke is not toxic and does not
indicate a fire.
The pretensioner does not require any maintenance or
lubrication. Anything that modifies its original conditions
invalidates its efficiency. If, due to unusual natural events
(floods, sea storms, etc.), the device has been affected by
water and mud, it absolutely must be replaced.

PARKING THE VEHICLE
Proceed as follows:
❒stop the engine and engage the handbrake;
❒engage a gear (first gear if parked uphill or reverse if
facing downhill) and leave the wheels turned.
If the vehicle is parked on a steep slope, it is advisable to
block the wheels with a wedge or stone.
To prevent draining the battery, do not leave the ignition
key turned to MAR. Always remove the key when you
leave the vehicle.
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle. Always
remove the ignition key when leaving the vehicle, and take
it with you.
USING THE GEARBOX
To engage the gears, depress the clutch pedal fully and
shift the gear lever A-fig. 127 into the required position
(the diagram is shown on the gear knob fig. 127).
IMPORTANT Reverse may be engaged only when the ve-
hicle is at a standstill. With the engine running, wait for
at least 2 seconds with the clutch pedal fully depressed
before engaging reverse to prevent damage to the gears
and grating.
To engage reverse R from neutral, lift ring B under the
knob and at the same time move the gearstick to the right
and then backwards (as shown in the diagram).

HILL HOLDER FAILURE (amber)
(for versions/markets where provided)
Turning the key to the MAR position illuminates
the warning light, but it will switch off after a few
seconds.
The warning light turns on to indicate a Hill Holder sys-
tem fault. In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible. On some versions, the fault is signalled by
warning light ácoming on together with the relevant mes-
sage on the display.
*
ABS SYSTEM FAILURE (amber)
When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the
warning light turns on but should go off after
a few seconds.
The warning light comes on when the system is either
not working properly or not available. Under these cir-
cumstances, the braking system will work as normal but
without the extra performance offered by the ABS sys-
tem. Drive carefully and go to a Fiat Dealership as soon
as possible.
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.
