2007 FIAT DOBLO heating

12GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Some smoke may be produced when
the pretensioners are fired. This
smoke is harmless and does not indi-
cate the principle of a fire.
The pretensioner does not require
any maintenance or greasing. Anything
that modifies its original conditions in-
validates its efficiency. If due to unusual
natural events (floods, seas storm,
etc.) the device has been affected by
water and mud, it must necessarily be
replaced.
Operations involving
banging, vibrations or
heating (exceeding 100°C
for a maximum of 6 hours) in the
area around the pretensioner
may trigger or damage the de-
vice. Vibrations from rough road
surfaces or accidental jolting
caused by mounting pavements
etc. do not have any effect on the
pretensioner. If, however, you
need any assistance, go to a Fiat
Dealership.Load limiting device
This device reduces the load with is
normally exerted by the seat belts on
the passenger’s shoulder and chest in
a collision. It increases protection by
preventing the micro traumas which
are inevitable in road accidents (also
in vehicles with airbags). The device
is built into the belt reel. The pretensioner can
only be used once. Fol-
lowing a collision that has
triggered it, have it replaced at
a Fiat Dealership. Pretensioner
validity is written on the plate, fig.
9, set inside the glove box. Have
pretensioners replaced at a Fiat
Dealership as this date ap-
proaches.

IMPORTANTIf the outside air is
very damp, if it is raining and/or if there
is a considerable difference between
temperature inside and outside the ve-
hicle, prevent the windows from
misting up as follows:
– slider Bat Y;
– air temperature knob C: pointer at

– fan knob Aat second speed or
faster, pointer at 2;
– air distribution knob D: pointer at

If the vehicle has a climate control
system, you are recommended to ad-
just the controls as described above
and press button A-fig. 78to speed
up the demisting process. Demisting and defrosting the

This function - called max-def- is
obtained by turning the control point-

To moderate the cooling effect: po-
sition slider Bat Y, increase the
temperature and reduce the fan speed. Consequently, the climate control
system cannot be switched on when
the pointer is at 0p.
B- Recirculation slider, to cut out
outside air.
IMPORTANTThis function is par-
ticularly useful when the outside air
is heavily polluted (in a traffic jam, tun-
nel, etc.) and when running on dusty
roads. You are advised against using
this function for long periods, howev-
er, especially if there are a lot of peo-
ple in the vehicle or on cold or rainy
days since the windows could mist up
effecting visibility and driving.

air mixer).
D- Air distribution knob.CLIMATIC COMFORT
See previous chapter for air distrib-
ution and heating/ventilation functions.
IMPORTANTThe manual climate
control system is very useful for
speeding up the demising process be-
cause it dries the air. Simply adjust the
controls for the demisting function
(see previous section) and switch the
manual climate control system on by
pressing knob A-fig. 78. The system uses refrig-
erating fluid R134a which
will not pollute the envi-
ronment if it accidentally leaks.
Under no circumstances should
fluid R12 be used as this is in-
compatible with the system’s
component parts.

63GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
LOOKING AFTER
THE SYSTEM
During the winter, the climate con-
trol system must be turned on at least
once a month for about ten minutes.
Have the system efficiency checked
before the summer at a Fiat Deal-
ership.STEERING COLUMN
STALKS
LEFT-HAND STALK
The left-hand stalk operates most of
the external lights.
The external lights can only be
switched on when the ignition key is
at MAR. The instrument panel and
the heating/ventilation (or climate con-
trol system) controls and the cigar
lighter ring will come on with the ex-
ternal lights.
The system is filled with
R134a refrigerant which
will not pollute the envi-
ronment in the event of leakage.
Under no circumstances should
R12 fluid be used as it is incom-
patible with the system compo-
nents and contains CFC.

107DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE
HOW TO WARM UP THE
ENGINE AFTER IS HAS JUST
STARTED (petrol and diesel
versions)
– Begin to move forward slowly let-
ting the engine turn at medium revs.
Do not accelerate abruptly.
– Do not push the engine to its lim-
it for the first few kilometres. You are
recommended to wait until the
coolant temperature gauge starts
moving.
EMERGENCY START-UP
If the Fiat CODE system fails to
recognise that code transmitted by the
ignition key (instrument panel warning
light ¢(Y) on) the emergency start-
up can be performed by using the
CODE card code.
See section “In an emergency”. The warning light m
will flash (for approxi-
mately 60 seconds) at
start-up or during prolonged
cranking to signal a fault in the
glow plug heating system. You
can use the vehicle as usual if the
engine starts but you should con-
tact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible to have problem seen to.
If the engine does not start at the
first attempt, return the ignition key
to STOPbefore trying to start the
engine again.
If with key at MARwarning light ¢
(Y) stays on, turn the key to STOP
and then to MARagain; if the warn-
ing light stays on, try with the other
keys provided.
If you still cannot start the engine, get
in touch with Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANTNever leave the ig-
nition key at MARwhen the engine is
off.Catalysed vehicles must
not be bump started
(pushed, towed or coast-
ed downhill) as this could cause
fuel to flow into the catalytic ex-
haust system and damage it be-
yond repair.
Remember that until
the engine has started the
brake booster and hy-
draulic power steering systems
will not work and a greater effort
will therefore be required to de-
press the brake pedal or turn the
steering wheel.
