FIAT DOBLO COMBI 2018 Owner handbook (in English)

WARNING
41)The Fiat Doblò Natural Power version is
equipped with a high pressure methane
system designed to run at a rated pressure
of 200 bar. It is dangerous to stretch the
system with higher pressures. To prevent
damage to the methane system parts
when towing or lifting the vehicle, follow
the instructions in the main handbook
in the chapter: "Towing the vehicle". If
there is a problem with the methane
system, only contact a Fiat Dealership. Do
not alter the methane system configuration
or components. They are designed
exclusively for the Fiat Qubo Natural
Power. The use of other components or
materials could cause malfunctions and
prejudice safety.
42)When oven painting, the cylinders must
be removed from the vehicle and refitted
by a Fiat Dealership. Although the methane
system has numerous safety features, it is
advisable to close the manual tap on the
cylinders every time the vehicle is not
in use for a long period, transported on
other vehicles or moved in an emergency
as a result of a breakdown or accident.
43)If gas is smelt, switch from methane
operation to petrol operation and
immediately go to a Fiat Dealerships to
have the vehicle checked and possible
system faults supply excluded.
WARNING
8)Regardless of the last fuel system used,
at the following engine starting, after the
initial petrol stage, the system will
automatically switch to methane.
9)At the time of the switching request
there will be a metallic noise from the
valves which are pressurising the circuit
(more obvious with the ignition key in
the MAR-ON position). For the switching
logic described above, a delay between the
valve ticking and the switching off of the
instrument panel indication is completely
normal.
10)Do not switch between the two
operating modes whilst starting the engine.

TRIP COMPUTER
IN BRIEF
The Trip computer is used to display
information on vehicle operation
when the ignition key is turned to
MAR. This function allows you to
define two separate trips, called "Trip
A" and "Trip B", for monitoring the
"complete mission" (journey) of
the vehicle in a reciprocally
independent manner. Both functions
can be reset (reset means start of
a new journey).
"Trip A" can be used to display the
values relating to:
Outside Temperature
Range
Distance travelled A
Average consumption A
Instant consumption
Average speed A
Trip time A (driving time)
Reset Trip A
"Trip B", available on multifunction
display only, is used to display
the values relating to:
Distance travelled B
Average consumption B
Average speed B
Trip time B (driving time)
Trip B reset
Natural Power versions
NOTE The trip computer data
concerning range, average
consumption and instantaneous
consumption are not available for these
versions.
12)
TRIP control button
The TRIP button, located on the top of
the right steering column stalk fig. 98, is
used (with ignition at MAR) to display
these values and reset them to start
a new journey:
brief press to access the various
values displays;
long press to reset and then start a
new mission.
New mission
This begins after a reset:
“manual” resetting by the user, by
pressing the relevant button;
55

“automatic” resetting, when the “trip
distance” reaches 9999.9 km or when
the “trip time” reaches 999:59 (999
hours and 59 minutes);
after disconnection/reconnection of
the battery.
IMPORTANT The reset operation when
“Trip A” or “Trip B” details are being
displayed resets the information
associated with the function displayed.
"Range" and "Instantaneous fuel
consumption" information can not be
reset
Start of journey procedure
With the ignition key in the MAR-ON
position, reset by pressing the TRIP
button and keeping it pressed for more
than 2 seconds.Exit Trip
You can automatically exit the TRIP
function once all the values have been
displayed or by holding theMENU
button (*) down for more than 1second.
(*) For versions/markets, where
provided.
WARNING
12)The "Trip B" function may be disabled
(see the "Activating Trip B" paragraph).
"Range" and "Instant consumption" values
cannot be reset.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
The warning light switches on together with (where the instrument panel permits) a specific message and/or acoustic warning.
These indications are indicative and precautionary and as such must not be considered as exhaustive and/or alternative to
the information contained in the Owner Handbook, which you are advised to read carefully in all cases. In the event of a failure
indication, always refer to the contents of this chapter.
IMPORTANT Failure indications displayed are divided into two categories: very serious and less serious failures. Serious faults
are indicated by a repeated and prolonged warning "cycle". Less serious faults are indicated by a warning "cycle" with a shorter
duration. The display cycle of both categories can be interrupted. The instrument panel warning light will stay on until the
cause of the malfunction is eliminated.
Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
redLOW BRAKE FLUID / HANDBRAKE APPLIED / LOW
BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM
The warning light switches on when the key is turned to
MAR-ON, but it should switch off after a few seconds.
44)
Low brake fluid level
The warning light turns on when the level of the brake
fluid in the reservoir falls below the minimum level,
possibly due to a leak in the circuit.
On some versions the display shows the dedicated
message.Restore the brake fluid level, then check that the
warning light has switched off.
If the warning light turns on when travelling (on certain
versions together with the message on the display) stop
the vehicle immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.
Handbrake engaged
The warning light switches on when the handbrake is
engaged.
On certain versions, if the vehicle is moving an acoustic
signal will also sound.
If the warning light comes on while driving, check that
the handbrake is not on.Release the handbrake, then check that the warning
light has switched off.
If the warning light stays on, contact a Fiat Dealership.

Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
redBrake booster vacuum low
The warning light switches on in the event of brake
servo failure; in this case the pedal can become stiff
while braking.This failure in the brake servo does not affect the
braking efficiency of the system, but the power assisted
steering is reduced. Contact a Fiat Dealership to have
the vehicle checked.
IMPORTANT The brake system uses an electric pump
to increase the brake servo vacuum. In certain driving
situations, the device operation could be felt, but this
condition IS PART OF THE STANDARD SYSTEM
OPERATION.
red
amber
amberEBD FAILURE
The simultaneous switching on of the
(red),
(amber) and(amber) warning lights (for
versions/markets, where provided) with the engine on
indicates either an anomaly of the EBD system or that
the system is not available. In this case, the rear wheels
may suddenly lock and the vehicle may swerve when
braking sharply.
The display shows the dedicated message.Drive very carefully to the nearest Fiat Dealership to
have the system inspected immediately.
