warning light FIAT DOBLO COMBI 2015 2.G Owner's Guide

Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
amberVEHICLE PROTECTION SYSTEM FAILURE -
FIAT CODE
When the key is turned to MAR the warning light
will flash only once and then switch off.
If, with the ignition key at MAR, the warning light
stays on permanently, this indicates a possible
failure (see “Fiat Code system” in the “Know your
vehicle” chapter);
If, with the engine running, the
warning light
flashes, it means that the vehicle is not protected
by the engine immobiliser device.Contact a Fiat Dealership to have all the keys
stored in the memory.
amberREAR FOG LIGHTS
The warning light comes on when the rear fog
lights are turned on.
Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
amberGENERIC FAILURE INDICATION
The warning light turns on in the following
circumstances:
❒Engine oil pressure sensor failure
❒Lights failure (rear fog, direction indicator,
reverse, number plate, side, daytime running)The failure relating to these lights could be: one
or more blown bulbs, a blown protection fuse or
a break in the electrical connection.

Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
❒Fuel cut-off system failure
❒Park sensor failure.
❒Start&Stop system failureContact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible to
have the fault fixed.
The warning light turns on and flashes to indicate a
failure of the
warning light. In this case, the
warning light may not indicate a fault in the
restraint systems.Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership to
have the system checked immediately.
Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
amberDPF (PARTICULATE FILTER) CLEANING
UNDERWAY
(for versions/markets, where provided)
When the key is turned to MAR, the warning light
switches on but it should switch off after a few
seconds.
The warning light switches on constantly to inform
the driver that the DPF system needs to eliminate
the trapped pollutants (particulate) through the
regeneration process.
A dedicated message will appear on the display
when the warning light switches on (for versions/
markets, where provided).The warning light does not come on during
every DPF regeneration, but only when driving
conditions require that the driver is notified. The
warning light will switch off if the vehicle remains
in motion until regeneration has been
completed. On average, the process lasts 15
minutes.
The best conditions to complete the
regeneration process are reached by driving the
vehicle constantly at 60 km/h with engine speed
above 2000 rpm. When this warning light
comes on, it does not indicate a vehicle failure
and it should not therefore be taken to a
workshop.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
amberPARKING SENSOR FAILURE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light turns on when failure is detected
in the parking sensors.
On certain versions the
warning light comes on
instead. In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership.

displayed.
amberSTART&STOP SYSTEM FAILURE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
The warning light comes on when a fault is
detected in the Start&Stop system.
On certain versions the
warning light comes on
instead. In this case, contact a Fiat Dealership.
On certain versions a dedicated message is
displayed.
IMPORTANT
13) If, when the ignition key is turned to MAR, thewarning light does not switch on or if it stays on steadily or
flashing when travelling (on certain versions together with the message on the display), contact a Fiat Dealership as
soon as possible.
105

14) The presence of water in the supply circuit may cause severe damage to the injection system and irregular engine
operation. If the
warning light switches on (on some versions together with the dedicated message on the
display), contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible to have the system bled. If the above indication occurs
immediately after refuelling, water may have entered the tank: turn the engine off immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
15) During regeneration, the fan may be activated.
WARNING
52) Always drive at a speed appropriate to the traffic conditions, the weather and traffic regulations. The engine may be
stopped if the DPF light is on; however, repeated interruption of the regeneration process may result in premature
deterioration of the engine oil. For this reason, always wait until the warning light switches off before stopping the
engine as described above. It is not advisable to complete DPF regeneration with the vehicle stationary.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

ACTIVE SAFETY
SYSTEMS
The vehicle has the following active
safety systems:
❒ABS;
❒EBD system;
❒Brake Assist system;
❒ESP system;
❒ASR system;
❒Hill Holder system;
❒MSR system;
For the operation of the systems,
see the following pages.
ABS
This is an integral part of the braking
system, which prevents one or
more wheels from locking or slipping
regardless of the road surface
conditions and braking intensity,
ensuring control of the vehicle even
during emergency braking.
The EBD system (Electronic Braking
Force Distribution) completes the
system allowing the brake force to
be distributed between the front and
rear wheels.
IMPORTANT To get the maximum
efficiency of the braking system,
a bedding-in period of about 500
km is needed: during this period it is
better to avoid sharp, repeated
and prolonged braking.
SYSTEM
INTERVENTION
The driver can feel that the ABS has
come into action because the brake
pedal pulsates slightly and the
system gets noisier: it means that
the vehicle speed should be altered
to suit the type of road surface.
53) 54) 55)
FAULT INDICATIONS
ABS failure
This is indicated by the
warning
light in the instrument panel coming
on (together with the appropriate
message on the multifunction
display on some versions) (see the
“Warning lights and messages”
chapter).
In this case, the braking system will
still be effective, although without
the extra capacity offered by the
ABS.
Drive carefully to the nearest Fiat
Dealership to have the system
checked.
EBD failure
This is indicated by the
and
warning lights in the instrument
panel coming on (together with
the appropriate message on the
multifunction display on some
versions) (see the “Warning lights
and messages” chapter).
110
SAFETY

In this case, the rear wheels may
suddenly lock and the vehicle may
swerve when braking sharply. Drive
carefully to the nearest Fiat
Dealership to have the system
checked.
56)
BRAKE ASSIST
(integrated ESP
emergency braking
assistance)
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
This system (which cannot be
deactivated) recognises emergency
braking conditions according to
the speed of operation of the brake
pedal and provides an additional
hydraulic braking pressure to
support that provided by the driver.
This allows faster and more powerful
operation of the braking system.
Brake Assist is deactivated on the
versions equipped with ESP, in
the event of ESP system failure
(indicated by the
warning light
coming on together with the
message in the multifunction display,
where provided).
57)
WARNING
53) When the ABS cuts in and you
feel the brake pedal pulsating,
do not raise your foot, but keep it
pressed; in doing so you will stop
in the shortest amount of space
possible depending on the current
road conditions.
54) If the ABS intervenes, it is a sign
that the grip between tyre and the
road surface has reached the
limit: you must slow down to
adapt the speed to the road grip
available.
55) The ABS exploits the grip
available to the full, but it cannot
improve it. Therefore, you should
take great care when driving on
slippery surfaces, without taking
unnecessary risks.56) If only the
warning light
lights up in the instrument panel
(with a message in the display
on some versions), stop the
vehicle immediately and contact
the nearest Fiat Dealership. Fluid
leaking from the hydraulic system
will compromise the operation
of the braking system, whether it
is of the conventional type or
with ABS.
57) When the ABS cuts in and you
feel the brake pedal pulsating,
do not raise your foot, but keep it
pressed; in doing so you will stop
in the shortest amount of space
possible depending on the current
road conditions.
