four wheel drive FIAT DOBLO COMBI 2017 2.G Owners Manual

MSR system (engine drive
regulation)
The system prevents the drive wheels
from possibly locking, which could
happen, for example, if the accelerator
pedal is released suddenly or in the
case of a sudden downshifting in
conditions of poor grip.
In this conditions, the engine braking
effect could cause the drive wheels
to slip, resulting in a loss of vehicle
stability. In these situations, the MSR
system intervenes, restoring torque to
the engine in order to conserve vehicle
stability and increase vehicle safety.
Engagement/disengagement of the
ASR system
The ASR system switches on
automatically each time the engine is
started.
Whilst driving, the ASR can be switched
off and subsequently switched on
again by pressing the fig. 122 button on
the dashboard.
Switching off is shown by the
warning light on the instrument panel
switching on and a dedicated message
shown in the multifunction display,
where provided.
If the ASR is switched off when driving,
it is automatically switched on again
when the vehicle is started up.When travelling on snowy roads with
snow chains, it may be helpful to turn
the ASR off: in fact, in these conditions,
the driving wheels skidding when
moving off gives you better traction.
59)For the correct operation of the ASR
system, the tyres must absolutely
be the same make and type on all
wheels, in perfect condition and, above
all, of the type, make and size specified.
FAULT INDICATIONS
In the event of a fault, the ASR will be
automatically switched off and the
warning light will appear
permanently on the instrument panel
along with a message on the
multifunction display, where provided
(see “Warning lights and messages”). In
this case, contact the Fiat Service
Network as soon as possible.
WARNING
57)ESC performance features must not
induce the driver to take unnecessary
or unfounded risks. Your driving style must
always be suited to the road conditions,
visibility and traffic. The driver is always
responsible for road safety.
58)For the ESC and ASR systems to
function correctly, all four tyres must be the
same brand and type, must be in excellent
condition and, above all, must be of the
prescribed type and size.
59)Do not take unnecessary risks, even if
your vehicle is fitted with this system.
Your driving style must always be suited to
the road conditions, visibility and traffic.
The driver is always responsible for road
safety.

The TPMS uses wireless devices with
electronic sensors mounted on the
wheel rims to constantly monitor the
value of tyre pressure. The sensors
mounted on each wheel as part of the
valve stem transmit various information
of the tyres to the receiver module, in
order to calculate the pressure.
IMPORTANT Monitoring and
maintaining the correct pressure in all
four tyres are particularly important.
Tyre pressure monitoring system
low pressure warning
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by switching on
the warning light
on the instrument
panel (together with a warning message
and an acoustic signal).The TPMS continues to advise the
driver of the low tyre pressure condition
until this is corrected; the warning
continues until the pressure
corresponds or exceeds the pressure
prescribed for the cold tyres. When the
tyre low pressure control warning
light
switches on constantly, the
inflation pressure must be adjusted until
it reaches the pressure prescribed for
cold tyres. After the automatic update
of the system, the tyre pressure control
warning light switches off. You may
need to drive the vehicle for about 20
minutes at a speed higher than 20
km/h to allow the TPMS to receive this
information.
IMPORTANT In the case of deflation of
more than one tyre sequentially, without
switching off and on the engine, from
the second tyre involved the acoustic
signal is not activated, only the
dedicated signal is shown on the
display.
To prevent the signal from being stored
in the event of pressure loss of a
subsequent tyre (with deactivation of
the acoustic signal), the ignition key
must be turned to MAR and then to
STOP, each time pressure is restored.TPMS operation faults
The system fault is indicated by
warning light
which first flashes for
75 seconds and then stays on steadily.
This can occur in any of the following
situations:
interference caused by electronic
devices or radio frequency emissions
similar to those of the TPM sensors.
Application of tinted films which
interfere with the signals of the radio
waves.
Presence of snow or ice on the
wheels or the wheel arches.
Use of snow chains.
Use of wheels/tyres not equipped
with TPM sensors.
The space-saver wheel is not
equipped with the tyre pressure control
sensor. Therefore, the tyre pressure is
not controlled by the system.
NOTE The vehicle may be equipped
with FiX&Go Automatic tyre repair
kit, space-saver wheel or full size spare
wheel (with or without original TPMS
sensor to measure tyre pressure).
After the punctured tyre has been
repaired with the original tyre sealant
contained in the FiX&Go Automatic tyre
repair kit, the previous condition must
be restored, so that the
warning
light is off during normal driving.
135

Space-saver wheel (for versions/
markets, where provided): the
space-saver wheel is not equipped with
a TPMS sensor. Once fitted, while
driving normally, the warning light
comes on (flashing for about 75
seconds, and then constantly). This
condition lasts until a wheel equipped
with an original TPMS sensor is fitted
on the vehicle.
Normal spare wheel (without TPMS
sensor): once fitted, while driving
normally, the
warning light comes on
(flashing for about 75 seconds, and
then constantly). This condition lasts
until a wheel equipped with an original
TPMS sensor is fitted on the vehicle.
The system is then restored and the
warning light switches off.
Normal spare wheel (with TPMS
sensor): once fitted, while driving
normally, the
warning light switches
off.
IMPORTANT In all the above-mentioned
cases, it is advisable to check the
spare wheel tyre pressure before
starting driving.
NOTE If the tyres are replaced, driving
the vehicle for short stretches, some
time might be needed before the
system is restored.IMPORTANT
WARNING
103)The TPMS is optimised for the
original tyres and wheels provided. TPMS
pressures and alerts have been defined
according to the size of the tyres mounted
on the vehicle. Using equipment with
different size, type or kind may cause
irregular system operation or sensor
damage. Non-original spare wheels can
damage the sensor. Do not use tyre
sealant or balancing weights if the vehicle
is equipped with TPMS as these may
damage the sensors.
104)If the system signals a pressure
decrease on a specific tyre, it is
recommended to check the pressure on all
four tyres.
105)TPMS does not relieve the driver from
the obligation to check the tyre pressure
every month; it is not to be considered
a replacing system for maintenance or a
safety system.
106)Tyre pressure must be checked with
tyres cold. Should it become necessary for
whatever reason to check pressure with
warm tyres, do not reduce pressure even if
it is higher than the prescribed value, but
repeat the check when tyres are cold.
107)The TPMS cannot indicate sudden
tyre pressure drops (for example when
a tyre bursts). In this case, stop the vehicle,
braking with caution and avoiding abrupt
steering.108)The system only warns that the tyre
pressure is low: it is not able to inflate
them.
109)Insufficient tyre inflation increases fuel
consumption, reduces the tread duration
and may affect the capacity to drive safely.
110)Always refit the valve stem cap after
inspecting or adjusting tyre pressure.
This prevents dampness or dirt from
entering the valve stem and thus
the pressure control sensor from being
damaged.
111)The tyre repair kit (Fix&Go) provided
with the vehicle (for versions/markets,
where provided) is compatible with the
TPMS sensors; using sealants not
equivalent with that in the original kit may
adversely affect its operation. If sealants
not equivalent with the original one are
used, it is recommended to have the
TPMS sensor operation checked by a
qualified repair centre.
