brakes FIAT DOBLO PANORAMA 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!

VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS / ALTERATIONS
IMPORTANT
Any change or alteration of the vehicle might seriously affect its safety and road holding, thus causing accidents, in
which the occupants could even be fatally injured.
ACCESSORIES PURCHASED BY THE OWNER
If after buying the vehicle, you decide to install electrical accessories that require a permanent electrical supply (e.g.
radio, satellite anti-theft system, etc.) or accessories that in any case burden the electrical supply, contact a Fiat
Dealership, whose personnel will check whether the vehicles's electrical system is able to withstand the load
required, or whether it needs to be integrated with a more powerful battery.
IMPORTANT Take care when fitting additional spoilers, alloy wheels or non-standard wheel hubs: they could reduce
the ventilation of the brakes and affect efficiency under sharp, repeated braking or on long descents. Make sure
that nothing obstructs the pedal stroke (mats, etc.).
INSTALLING ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Electrical and electronic devices installed after buying the vehicle and available as after-sales must carry the following
label
.
Fiat authorises the installation of transceivers provided that installation is carried out at a specialised centre, in a
workmanlike fashion and in compliance with manufacturer's specifications.
IMPORTANT Traffic authorities may not allow the vehicle on the road if devices are fitted that involve modifications to
the features of the vehicle. This may also cause lapse of the warranty in relation to faults caused by the change or
either directly or indirectly related to it.
Fiat shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by
Fiat and/or not installed in compliance with the provided instructions.
RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND MOBILE PHONES
Radio transmitters (car phones, CB radios etc.) cannot be used inside the vehicle unless a separate aerial is
mounted externally.

ACOUSTIC SIGNAL
When reverse gear is engaged an
intermittent acoustic signal is
automatically activated.
The frequency of the acoustic signal:
❒increases as the distance between
the vehicle and the obstacle
decreases;
❒becomes continuous when the
distance between the vehicle and the
obstacle is less than 30 cm and
stops immediately if the distance
increases;
❒is constant if the distance between
the vehicle and the obstacle is
unchanged;
❒whereas, if this situation occurs for
the side sensors, the indication will
stop after about 3 seconds to avoid,
for example, warning indications in
the event of manoeuvres alongside
walls.
Detection distances
If several obstacles are detected by
the sensors, only the nearest one
is considered.FAULT INDICATIONS
Any parking sensor faults will be
indicated when reverse is engaged
by the warning light in the
instrument panel switching on
together with the message in the
multifunction display, for
versions/markets, where provided
(see chapter "Warning lights and
messages”).
97)
OPERATION WITH
TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is
automatically deactivated when the
electric cable plug of the trailer is
inserted into the vehicle tow hook
socket. The sensors are
automatically reactivated when the
trailer's cable plug is removed.
IMPORTANT
If you wish to leave the tow hook
fitted without towing a trailer, it
is advisable to contact a Fiat
Dealership for the relevant system
update operations because the tow
hook could be detected as an
obstacle by the central sensors.GENERAL WARNINGS
98)
❒When parking, take the utmost care
over obstacles that may be above or
under the sensor.
❒Sometimes, objects located very
near the rear of the vehicle are not
detected and could therefore
damage the vehicle or be damaged
themselves.
The following conditions may
influence the performance of the
parking assistance system:
❒Reduced sensor sensitivity and a
reduction in the parking assistance
system performance could be due to
the presence on the surface of the
sensor of: ice, snow, mud, thick
paint.
❒The sensor may detect a non-
existent obstacle (echo noise) due to
mechanical noises, for example
when washing the vehicle, in case of
rain, strong wind, hail.
❒The signals sent out by the sensors
can be altered by dirt, snow or ice
deposited on the sensors or by
ultrasound systems (e.g. truck
pneumatic brakes or pneumatic drills)
near the vehicle.

WARNING
105) If the replaced fuse blows again, contact a Fiat Dealership.
106) Never replace a fuse with another with a higher amp rating; DANGER OF FIRE. If a general protection fuse
(MEGA-FUSE, MIDI-FUSE) is activated, contact a Fiat Dealership. Before replacing a fuse, make sure that the ignition
key has been removed and that all the other services are switched off and/or disengaged.
107) Contact a Fiat Dealership if a safety system (airbags, brakes), engine system (engine, gearbox) or steering system
general protection fuse blows.
