bonnet FIAT DOBLO COMBI 2009 Owner handbook (in English)

If, after buying the vehicle, you want to install electrical ac-
cessories requiring permanent electric supply (alarm, etc.)
or having high power level consumption, contact
a Fiat Dealership, whose qualified personnel, in addition to
suggesting the most suitable devices from the Lineacessori
Fiat range, will assess the overall electrical consumption
to determine whether the vehicle’s electrical system is ca-
pable of withstanding the load required, or whether it
should be integrated with a more powerful battery.
Since these devices continue to use electricity even when
the engine is off, they gradually run down the battery.

USEFUL ADVICE FOR EXTENDING THE LIFE
OF YOUR BATTERY
To avoid draining your battery and make it last longer, fol-
low these instructions closely:
❒when you park the vehicle, ensure the doors, boot and
bonnet are closed properly so that the ceiling lights do
not stay on;
❒turn off the ceiling lights, although the car does have
an automatic system for switching off internal lights;
❒do not leave devices (e.g. sound system, hazard lights,
etc.) switched on for a long time when the engine is not
running;
❒before performing any operation on the electrical sys-
tem, disconnect the negative battery cable;
❒make sure battery terminals are fully tightened.
IMPORTANT A battery which is kept at a charge of less
than 50% for any length of time will be damaged by sul-
phating leading to a reduction in cranking power.
The battery is also more prone to the risk of freezing (at
temperatures as high as –10°C). If the vehicle is off the
road for long periods, refer to “Vehicle inactivity” in the
“Starting and driving” section.

Rear window (rear window washer)
The rear window washer jets are fixed. The nozzle hold-
er is located above the rear window. NOZZLES
If the jet is not coming out, firstly check that there is flu-
id in the windscreen/rear window reservoir (for ver-
sions/markets where provided) (see “Checking levels” in
this section).
Then check that the nozzle holes are not clogged; use a
needle to unblock them if necessary.
Front windscreen
The window washer jets are fixed. The nozzle holders are
located under the bonnet (see fig. 188).

To wash the vehicle properly, proceed as follows:
❒wash the body using a low-pressure jet of water;
❒use a sponge to wipe a slightly soapy solution over the
bodywork, frequently rinsing the sponge;
❒rinse with plenty of water and dry with a jet of air or
a chamois leather.
Observe the following recommendations for washing the
vehicle in an automatic carwash:
– remove the aerial from the roof so it does not get dam-
aged;
– the car wash should use water added to a soapy solu-
tion;
– rinse thoroughly to avoid soap marks staying on the
bodywork or less visible parts.
Some car washes with old-style blades
and/or in a poor state of repair can dam-
age the paintwork, facilitating the forma-
tion of lines that give the paint a dull/misty ap-
pearance, especially on dark colours. If this hap-
pens, lightly polish the paintwork with appropriate
products.
Dry the less visible parts particularly carefully, such as the
door frames, bonnet and the headlight frames, where wa-
ter may stagnate more easily. It is a good idea to leave
the vehicle outdoors for a while after washing it to give
water time to evaporate.
Do not wash the vehicle after it has been left in the sun or
with the bonnet hot: this may alter the shine of the paint-
work.
Exterior plastic parts should be cleaned in the same way
as the rest of the vehicle. Where possible, do not park the
vehicle under trees; the resinous substances released by
many species give the paint a dull appearance and increase
the possibility of rust.
IMPORTANT Bird droppings should be washed off im-
mediately and thoroughly as the acid they contain is par-
ticularly aggressive.
Detergents cause water pollution. The ve-
hicle should be washed in areas equipped
for collecting and purifying the liquid used
in the washing process.
