Part FIAT DOBLO PANORAMA 2016 2.G Repair Manual

CHANGING A WHEEL
The vehicle is originally equipped with
the Fix&Go automatic quick tyre repair
kit (see instructions in the next section).
As an alternative, the vehicle may
have a normal-sized spare wheel.
Wheel changing and correct use of the
jack and spare wheel call for some
precautions, as listed below.
108) 109) 110) 111)
Note for one-way tyres
One-way tyres have a few arrows
on the side indicating the rotation
direction. If a wheel is changed (when
punctured, for example) the direction of
the arrows on the spare wheel tyre
may not coincide with the rotation
direction of the wheel to be replaced.
In these conditions, too, the tyre still
maintains its safety features.
Anyway, it is recommended to have the
wheel repaired and refitted as soon as
possible, as the best performance is
achieved when the rotation direction of
all tyres coincides with the one
indicated by the arrows.
Please note that:
❒the jack weight is 4 kg;
❒the jack requires no adjustment;❒the jack cannot be repaired and in
the event of a fault it must be
replaced by another original one;
❒no tool other than its cranking device
may be fitted on the jack.
To change a wheel, proceed as follows:
❒stop the vehicle in a position that is
not dangerous for oncoming traffic
where you can change the wheel
safely. The ground should be flat
if possible, and sufficiently firm;
❒stop the engine and pull the
handbrake;
❒engage first gear or reverse;
❒wear the reflective safety jacket
(compulsory by law in certain
countries) before getting out of the
vehicle;
❒indicate that the vehicle has broken
down using the devices required by
the law in the current country (e.g.
warning triangle, hazard lights, etc.);
❒for Cargo versions fig. 184: move the
left front seat forward and operate
lever A to access the tool bag; take it
to the wheel that needs replacing;❒for Doblò/Doblò Combi versions fig.
185: open the rear doors, inside the
compartment on the rear right side,
take the tool bag, unhooking the
elastic band from the buckle, and
take it next to the wheel to be
changed;

WARNING
108) The spare wheel (where
provided) is specifically for your
vehicle. Therefore, it must not be
used on other models. Do not
use spare wheels of other models
on your vehicle. The spare wheel
must be used only in an
emergency. Use of the spare
wheel must kept to the minimum
necessary.
109) Use your hazard lights, warning
triangle, etc. to show that your
vehicle is stationary according to
the regulations in force.
Passengers should get out of the
vehicle, particularly if it is heavily
loaded, and wait for the wheel
to be changed away from the
traffic. If you are on a slope or
uneven surface, place wedges or
other suitable objects under the
wheels to secure the vehicle.
Have the wheel repaired and
refitted as soon as possible. Do
not apply grease to the bolt
threads before assembly: they
might spontaneously unscrew.110) Use the jack only to replace
wheels on the vehicle with which
it is supplied or on other vehicles
of the same model. Never use
the jack for other purposes, such
as lifting other models. Never
use the jack to carry out repairs
under the vehicle. Incorrect
positioning of the jack may cause
the lifted vehicle to fall. Do not
use the jack for loads higher than
those shown on the label.
111) Incorrect hub cap assembly
may cause it to come off when the
vehicle is moving. Never tamper
with the inflation valve. Never
introduce tools of any kind
between rim and tyre. Check tyre
and spare wheel pressures
regularly, referring to the values
shown in the "Technical
specifications" section.

IN AN EMERGENCY

WARNING
112) Give the instruction booklet to
the tyre repair workshop
personnel.
113) Do not use the compressor for
more than 20 consecutive
minutes. Risk of overheating.
Tyres repaired with the quick tyre
repair kit must only be used
temporarily, as the kit is not
suitable for a definitive repair.
114) Punctures on the sides of the
tyre cannot be repaired. Do not
use the quick tyre repair kit if the
damage is due to running with flat
tyre.
115) If the wheel rim has been
damaged (bent so as to cause air
to leak), the wheel may not be
repaired. Do not remove foreign
bodies (screws or nails) from
the tyre.116) The bottle contains ethylene
glycol. It contains latex that might
cause allergic reactions. It is
harmful if swallowed. It is irritant
for the eyes. It may cause
sensitisation if inhaled or on
contact. Avoid contact with eyes,
skin and clothes. In the case of
contact, wash immediately with
plenty of water. In the event that it
is swallowed, do not induce
vomiting. Rinse out your mouth,
drink large quantities of water and
seek immediate medical attention.
Keep out of the reach of children.
The product must not be used
by asthmatics. Do not inhale the
vapours during insertion and
suction. Call a doctor immediately
if allergic reactions are noted.
Store the bottle in the specific
compartment, away from sources
of heat. The sealant has an expiry
date. Replace the bottle if the
sealant has expired.
117) Wear the protective gloves
provided together with the quick
tyre repair kit.118) affix the adhesive label in an
easy-to-see position for the driver
as a reminder that the tyre has
been treated with the quick tyre
repair kit. Drive carefully,
particularly on bends. Do not
exceed 80 km/h. Do not
accelerate or brake suddenly.
119) If the pressure has fallen below
1.8 bar, do not drive any further:
the automatic Fix&Go automatic
quick tyre repair kit cannot
guarantee the correct hold
because the tyre is too damaged.
Contact a Fiat Dealership.
120) Inform the Dealership that the
tyre has been repaired using the
quick tyre repair kit. Give the
booklet to the personnel charged
with handling the treated tyre.
IMPORTANT
28) Punctures caused by foreign
bodies can be repaired if the
damage does not exceed 4 mm on
the tread and on the shoulder of
the tyre.
173

IMPORTANT
2) Do not dispose of the can or the
sealing fluid as household waste.
Have them disposed of in
compliance with national and
local regulations.
EMERGENCY
STARTING
Go to a Fiat Dealership immediately if
warning light
stays on constantly on
the instrument panel.
JUMP STARTING
If the battery is flat, it is possible to start
the engine using an auxiliary battery
with the same capacity or a little higher
than the flat one.
Proceed as follows to start the vehicle
fig. 208:
❒connect the positive terminals (+
mark near the terminal) of the two
batteries using a suitable lead;
❒with a second lead, connect the
negative terminal (–) of the auxiliary
battery to an earthing point
on the
engine or the gearbox of the vehicle
to be started;
❒start the engine;
❒when the engine has been started,
remove the cables reversing the
order above.
If after a few attempts the engine does
not start, do not persist but contact
the nearest Fiat Dealership.IMPORTANT Do not directly connect
the negative terminals of the two
batteries: any sparks may ignite the
explosive gas which could come out of
the battery. If the auxiliary battery is
installed on another vehicle, avoid any
metal parts on the latter and the vehicle
with the flat battery from accidentally
coming into contact.29)
121)
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by
pushing, towing or coasting downhill.
This could cause fuel to flow into the
catalytic converter and damage it
beyond repair.
208F0V0147
174
IN AN EMERGENCY

IMPORTANT Remember that the brake
booster and the electric power steering
system are not active until the engine
is started, so you will need to apply
much more force to the brake pedal or
steering wheel.
IMPORTANT
29) Never use a fast battery-charger
for emergency starting of the
engine as this could damage the
electronic systems of your vehicle,
particularly the ignition and fuel
supply control units.
WARNING
121) This procedure must be
performed by qualified personnel
as incorrect actions may cause
high-intensity electrical discharge.
Furthermore, battery fluid is
poisonous and corrosive: avoid
contact with skin and eyes. Keep
naked flames away from the
battery. No smoking. Do not cause
sparks.
FUEL CUT-OFF
SYSTEM
This intervenes in the case of an impact
causing:
❒the fuel supply cut-off with the engine
consequently switching off;
❒the automatic unlocking of the doors;
❒the switching on of the interior lights;
❒switching on of the hazard warning
lights (to deactivate the lights press
the dedicated button on the
dashboard).
122)
When the system has been triggered,
the message “Fuel cut off, see
handbook” is displayed on some
versions.
Check carefully for fuel leaks, for
instance in the engine compartment,
under the vehicle or near the tank area.
After a collision, turn the ignition key
to STOP to prevent the battery from
running down.
The following procedure should be
carried out to restore the correct
operation of the vehicle:
❒turn the ignition key to the MAR
position;
❒activate the right direction indicator;
