warning FIAT DOBLO COMBI 2015 2.G Owners Manual

Dear Customer,
We would like to congratulate and thank you for choosing a Fiat Doblò.
We have written this handbook to help you get to know all the features of your vehicle and use it in the best possible way.
Here you will find information, advice and important warnings regarding use of your vehicle and how to achieve the best performance from the
technical features of your Fiat Doblò.
You are advised to read it right through before taking to the road for the first time, to become familiar with the controls and above all with those
concerning brakes, steering and gearbox; at the same time, you can understand the vehicle behaviour on different road surfaces.
This document also provides a description of special features and tips, as well as essential information for the safe driving, care and
maintenance of your Fiat Doblò over time.
After reading it, you are advised to keep the handbook inside the vehicle, for an easy reference and for making sure it remains on board the
vehicle should it be sold.
In the attached Warranty Booklet you will also find a description of the Services that Fiat offers to its customers, the Warranty Certificate and
the detail of the terms and conditions for maintaining its validity.
We are sure that these will help you to get in touch with and appreciate your new vehicle and the service provided by the people at Fiat.
Enjoy reading. Happy motoring!

VERY IMPORTANT
REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in compliance with the European specification
EN228.Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590. The use of other products or mixtures
may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the damage caused.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Petrol engines: make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gear lever to neutral; fully depress the clutch pedal without pressing the
accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.Diesel engines: turn the ignition key to MAR
and wait for the
andwarning lights to switch off. Then 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 temperatures during operation. Do not park on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other flammable
material: fire hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The vehicle is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to help protect the
environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), visit a Fiat Dealership. They
can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle's electrical system can support the required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance enables the vehicle to perfectly maintain performance and safety characteristics, its environmental friendliness and low
running costs over time.

USE OF THE OWNER HANDBOOK
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Each time direction instructions (left/right or forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are given, these must be
intended as regarding an occupant in the driver's seat. Special cases not complying with this rule will be specified as
appropriate in the text.
The figures in the Owner Handbook are provided by way of example only: this might imply that some details of the
image do not correspond to the actual arrangement of your vehicle. In addition, the Handbook has been conceived
considering vehicles with steering wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible that on vehicles with steering wheel
on the right side, the position or construction of some controls is not exactly mirror-like with respect to the figure.
To identify the chapter with the information needed you can consult the index at the end of this Owner Handbook.
Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedicated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd page. A few pages further
there is a key for getting to know the chapter order and the relevant symbols in the tabs. There is in any case a
textual indication of the current chapter at the side of each even page.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
While reading this Owner Handbook you will find a series ofWARNINGSto prevent procedures that could damage
your vehicle.
There are alsoPRECAUTIONSthat must be carefully followed to prevent incorrect use of the components of the
vehicle, which could cause accidents or injuries.
Therefore allWARNINGSandPRECAUTIONSmust always be carefully followed.
WARNINGSandPRECAUTIONSare recalled in the text with the following symbols:
personal safety;
vehicle integrity;
environmental protection.
NOTE These symbols, when necessary, are indicated besides the title or at the end of the line and are followed by a
number. That number recalls the corresponding warning at the end of the relevant section.

Activating the device
The system is automatically enabled
on all the doors by pressing button
twice on the key with remote
control.
The direction indicators flash twice
to let you know that the device is
active.
If one or more of the doors is not
perfectly shut, the dead lock device
will not be activated, thus preventing
a person getting into the vehicle
through the open door and, on
shutting, it, remaining stuck inside
the passenger compartment.
Deactivating the
device
The system is disabled automatically
on every door when:
❒unlocking the doors;
❒by turning the ignition key to the MAR
position.
2) 3)
WARNING
1) Press button B only with the key
away from your body, specifically
from your eyes and from objects
which could get damaged (e.g.
your clothes). Do not leave the key
unattended to prevent people,
especially children, from
inadvertently pressing the button.
2) Once the dead lock system is
engaged it is impossible to open
the doors from inside the vehicle.
Therefore, before engaging the
system check that there is no one
left inside.
3) If the remote control battery is
flat, the system can only be
turned on by inserting the metal
key in the door lock: in this case,
the device remains active for
the rear doors only.
IMPORTANT
1) Used batteries are harmful to the
environment. You can dispose of
them either in the correct
containers as specified by law or
by taking them to a Fiat
Dealership, which will deal with
their disposal.

IGNITION DEVICE
The key can be turned to 3 different
positions fig. 10:
❒STOP: engine off, key extractable,
steering locked. Some electrical
devices (e.g. sound system, central
door locking system, etc.) can
operate;
❒MAR: driving position. All electrical
devices are enabled;
❒AVV: engine starting (unstable
position).
The ignition switch is fitted with an
electronic safety system that
requires the ignition key to be turned
back to STOP if the engine will not
start, before the starting operation
can be repeated.
4) 5) 6) 7)
STEERING LOCK
Activation
When the key is at STOP, remove
the key and turn the steering wheel
until it locks.
Deactivation
Move the steering wheel slightly as
you turn the ignition key to MAR.
WARNING
4) If the ignition device has been
tampered with (e.g. an attempted
theft), have it checked over by a
Fiat Dealership before driving
again.
5) Always remove the key when you
leave your vehicle to prevent
someone from accidentally
operating the controls. Remember
to engage the handbrake.
Engage first gear if the vehicle is
parked uphill or reverse gear if the
vehicle is parked downhill. Never
leave children unattended in the
vehicle.6) Never extract the key while the
vehicle is moving. The steering
wheel will automatically lock
as soon as it is turned. This also
applies to cases in which the
vehicle is towed.
7) It is absolutely forbidden to carry
out any after-market operation
involving steering system or
steering column modifications
(e.g.: installation of anti-theft
device) that could badly affect
performance and safety, cause
the lapse of warranty and also
result in non-compliance of the
vehicle with type approval
requirements.

SYMBOLS
Some vehicle components have
coloured labels whose symbols
indicate precautions to be observed
when using this component. Under
the bonnet there is also a label
that summarises all the symbols.
THE FIAT CODE
SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
This is an electrical engine locking
system which increases protection
against attempted theft of the
vehicle. It is automatically
activated when the ignition key is
removed.
Each key contains an electronic
device which modulates the signal
emitted during ignition by an
antenna built into the ignition
device. The signal, which changes
each time the engine is started,
is the “password”, by means
of which the control unit
recognises the key and enables
starting.
1)
Operation
Each time the vehicle is started
turning the ignition key toMAR, the
Fiat CODE system control unit
sends a recognition code to the
Powertrain Control Module to
deactivate the inhibitor.
The acknowledgement code is sent
only if the Fiat CODE system control
unit has recognised the code
transmitted from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned
to STOP, the Fiat CODE system
deactivates the functions of the
Powertrain Control Module.
Irregular operation
If, during starting, the code has not
been recognised correctly the
warning light
on the instrument
panel turns on accompanied by
the related message on the display
(see section “Warning lights and
messages”).
In this case, turn the key toSTOP
and then back toMAR; if the lock
continues, try with the other keys
provided with the vehicle. Contact a
Fiat Dealership if you still cannot
start the engine.
18
KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

IMPORTANT Each key has its own
code which must be stored by
the system's control unit. Contact a
Fiat Dealership to have new keys
(up to 8) stored with a code.
Activation of
warning light while
driving
❒If the warning lightswitches
on, this means that the system is
running a self-diagnosis (for
example due to a voltage drop).
❒If the warning lightstays on,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT
1) The electronic components inside
the key may be damaged if the
key is subjected to strong shocks.
In order to ensure complete
efficiency of the electronic
devices inside the key, it should
never be exposed to direct
sunlight.
