DUPLICATE KEYS
When additional keys are required,
go to your Fiat Dealershiptaking all
the keys in your possession and the
CODE card with you. The Fiat Deal-
ershipwill store the old and new keys
(up to eight) in the system. The Fiat
Dealershipmay ask you to demon-
strate that you own the vehicle.
The codes of any keys that are not
handed over when the new storage
procedure is carried out will be delet-
ed from the memory to prevent any
lost or stolen keys being used to start
the vehicle.
All the keys and the CODE card
must be handed over to the new own-
er when selling the vehicle.DOOR LOCK
REMOTE CONTROL
The remote control is built into the
ignition key. Press button A-fig. 4to
lock and unlock the doors.
Press button Ato operate the sys-
tem. LED B(where required) will flash
while the transmitter is sending the
code to the receiver.
The ceiling light and map-reading light
will come on for the predefined time
when the doors are unlocked with the
remote control.For ordering additional remote con-
trols or replacing the batteries, see the
following paragraphs.
IMPORTANTThe remote control
system frequency can be disturbed by
significant radio transmissions outside
the vehicle (e.g: mobile phones, HAM
radio systems, etc.) that could cause
remote control malfunctioning.
Ministerial homologation
In accordance with the legislation
covering radio frequencies in force in
each country, we should like to point
out that:
– the market-specific homologation
numbers are listed in the paragraph
“Radio-frequency remote controls” in
section “Technical specifications”.
– for markets requiring transmitter
marking, the transmitter code is print-
ed on the remote control.

79GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
When using the boot,
make sure the load you
are carrying does not ex-
ceed the permitted weight (see
“Technical specifications”). Also
ensure the items in the boot are
arranged properly to prevent
them being thrown forwards and
injuring passengers should you
brake sharply. Do not travel with
the tailgate open: exhaust gas
could filter into the passenger
compartment.
If you are travelling in
areas where refuelling
can be difficult and you
want to carry a can of petrol, fol-
low the law in force. Use a ho-
mologated can and secure it ad-
equately. Even given these pre-
cautions, the risk of fire in the
event of an accident is increased.
Do not use the key as a
handle to open the tail-
gate. You could damage
it.
The opening of the boot is made eas-
ier by the gas-filed struts on each side.
IMPORTANTFit the key well into
the lock before turning it.
You will be able to open the tailgate
with the key only if you remove the
key from the lock after turning it by 45
degrees.
To close, lower the tailgate until the
lock clicks.
CENTRAL DOOR LOCKING
SYSTEM
From the outside
With the doors closed, fit and turn
the key in one of the front door locks.IMPORTANTAdjust the height of
the dipped headlight beam when trav-
elling at night with a rather heavy load
in the boot (see “Headlights” in this
chapter).
Make sure the load does not exceed
the values shown in “Weights” para-
graph, “Technical specifications” chap-
ter for correct operation of the head-
light adjustment device.
Do not knock the tail-
gate into objects on the
roof rack when you open
it.

SNOW TYRES
These tyres have been specially de-
signed for driving on snow or ice, to
be fitted in place of the standard tyres.
Use snow tyres of the same size as
the standard tyres provided with the
vehicle.
Fiat Dealership will be happy to
provide advice concerning the most
suitable type of tyre for the customer’s
requirements.
For the type of tyre to be used, in-
flation pressures and the specifications
of snow tyres, follow the instructions
given at paragraph “Wheels” in section
“Technical Specifications”.The winter features of these tyres
are reduced considerably when the
tread depth is below 4 mm. In this
case, they should be replaced.
Due to the snow tyre features, un-
der normal conditions of use or on
long motorway journeys, the perfor-
mance of these tyres is lower than that
of standard tyres.
It is therefore necessary to limit their
use to the purposes for which they are
certified.IMPORTANTWhen snow tyres
are used with a max. speed index be-
low the one that can be reached by
the vehicle (increased by 5%), place a
notice in the passenger compartment,
plainly in the driver’s view which states
the max. permissible speed of the
snow tyres (as per EC Directive).
All four tyres should be the same
(brand and track) to ensure greater
safety when driving and braking and
better driveability.
Remember that it is inappropriate to
change the direction of rotation of
tyres.
The max. speed for
snow tyres with “T”
marking , is 190 km/h. The
Road Traffic Code speed limits
must however be always strictly
observed.
117DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE

122IN AN EMERGENCY
To change a wheel proceed as
follows:
1)Stop the vehicle in a position that
is not dangerous for oncoming traffic
where you can change the wheel safe-
ly. The ground should be flat and ad-
equately firm. Do not lubricate the bolt
threads before fitting
them back: they could
come loose.
Fasten the wheel cap correctly
to prevent the wheel from com-
ing free in motion.
Never tamper with the inflation
valve.
Never place tools between the
rim and tyre.
Check the tyre and spare wheel
pressure regularly. The tyre in-
flation pressure is shown in sec-
tion “Technical specifications”.
CHANGING A WHEEL
Please note:
– The jack weighs 1.85 kg
– The jack requires no adjustments
– The jack cannot be repaired. If it
breaks it must be replaced with a new
jack
– No tool with the exception of the
handle can be fitted on the jack.2)Turn the engine off and pull up the
handbrake.
3Engage first or reverse gear.
4)Either move the left-hand front
seat back forwards (Fiat Doblò Car-
go versions) lifting lever A-fig. 2and
take the tool bag shown in fig. 3or lift
the rear seat (for Fiat Doblò Passen-
ger Transport versions) with lever B-
fig. 4and take the bag shown in fig.

128IN AN EMERGENCY
– make sure the compressor switch
E-fig. 16fis set to 0(off), start the en-
gine and fit plug D-fig. 16einto the
nearest current outlet and then turn
on the compressor by setting switch
E-fig. 16ftoI(on). Inflate the tyre to
the pressure specified in paragraph
“Inflation pressure” in section “Tech-
nical Specifications”. Check tyre pres-
sure on gauge Fwith compressor off
to obtain precise reading;
– if after 5 minutes it is still impossi-
ble to reach at least 1.5 bar, disengage
compressor from valve and current
outlet, then move the vehicle forth for
approx. ten metres in order to dis-
tribute the sealing fluid inside the tyre
evenly, then repeat the inflation oper-
ation;– If after this operation it is still im-
possible after 5 minutes to reach at
least 1.8 bar, do not start driving since
the tyre is excessively damaged and
the quick tyre repair kit cannot guar-
antee suitable sealing, contact Fiat
Dealership;
– if reaching the tyre pressure spec-
ified in paragraph “Inflation pressure”
in section “Technical Specifications”,
start driving immediately;Apply the sticker in a vis-
ible position for the driver
to indicate that the tyre
has been treated with the quick
tyre repair kit. Drive carefully es-
pecially when cornering. Do not
exceed 80 km/h. Avoid heavy
braking and accelerating.

152VEHICLE MAINTENANCE
ANNUAL
INSPECTION
SCHEDULE
For vehicles with an annual
mileage of below 20.000 km (for
example about 10.000 km) the
following yearly inspection pro-
gramme is advised:
– check tyre conditions/wear and ad-
just pressure if required (including the
spare wheel).
– check light system operation (head-
lights, direction indicators, hazard
lights, boot lights, passenger compart-
ment lights, glovebox light, warning
lights, etc.).
– check windscreen wiper/washer
operation, adjust nozzles.
– check windscreen/rear window
blade position/wear
– check front disk brake pad condi-
tions and wear.– check cleanness of bonnet and
boot locks and lever cleanness and lu-
brication
– sight inspect the conditions of: en-
gine, gearbox, transmission, pipes and
hoses (exhaust - fuel - brakes), rubber
parts (boots, sleeves, bushes, etc)
brake and fuel hoses.
– check battery charge.
– visual check on various drive belt
conditions.
– check and top up, if required, fluid
levels (engine coolant, brake fluid,
windscreen washer fluid, battery fluid,
etc.).
– change engine oil.
– change engine oil filter.
– replace pollen filter (where pro-
vided).
ADDITIONAL
CHECKS
Every 1,000 kmor before long
trips, check and top up as necessary:
engine coolant level, brake fluid level,
windscreen washer liquid level, tyre
pressure and conditions.
Every 3,000 km check and top up
as necessary: engine oil level.
You are recommended to use FL
Selenia,products designed and pro-
duced specifically for Fiat vehicles (see
“Capacities” in section “Technical
specifications”).

160VEHICLE MAINTENANCE
Prevent brake fluid,
which is highly corrosive,
from coming into contact
with painted parts. Should it hap-
pen, immediately wash with wa-
ter.
Check that fluid contained in tank is
at maximum level. If fluid has to be
added, it is suggested to use the brake
fluid in table "Fluids and lubricants"
(see chapter "Technical characteris-
tics"). At plug opening, pay maximum
attention in order to prevent any im-
purities from entering the tank.
For topping up, always use a funnel
with integrated filter with mesh equal
to or lower than 0.12 mm.

POWER STEERING FLUID
fig. 13
The oil level with the vehicle on lev-
el ground and engine cold should be
included between the references MIN
and MAXon the reservoir.
When the oil is hot, the level can ex-
ceed the reference line MAX.
When topping up (where necessary)
make sure that the oil has the same
specifications as the oil in the system.Do not travel with the
windscreen washer reser-
voir empty. The wind-
screen washer is fundamental for
improving visibility.
fig. 13
F0A0261b
Do not let the power
steering fluid come into
contact with hot engine
parts. It catches fire very easily.
Oil consumption is ex-
tremely low. If the oil lev-
el needs topping up again
a s short period of time, have the
system checked for leakage at a
Fiat Dealership.
BRAKE/HYDRAULIC
CLUTCH FLUID fig. 14-15
Check that the level of the fluid in the
reservoir is at the maximum.
Use DOT 4 fluid only for topping up.
We recommend TUTELA TOP 4
that the braking system was originally
filled with.

171VEHICLE MAINTENANCE
ADVICE FOR PRESERVING
THE BODYWORK
Paint
Paintwork does not only serve an
aesthetic purpose, but also protects
the underlying sheet metal.
In the case of deep scrapes or scores,
you are advised to have the necessary
touching up carried out immediately
to avoid the formation of rust.
Only use genuine products when
touching up the paintwork (see “Body-
work paint identification plate” in sec-
tion “Technical specifications”).
Ordinary maintenance of the paint-
work means washing it. The frequen-
cy you should do this depends on the
conditions and the environment the
vehicle is driven in. For example, in ar-
eas with a high level of air pollution or
on roads sprinkled with road salt,
wash the vehicle more frequently. – The spraying of the underbody, en-
gine compartment, inside the wheel-
houses and other parts with wax-
based products with a high protective
capacity.
– Spraying plastic-coating materials
to protect the most exposed points:
under the door, inside the wings, the
edges etc.
– The use of “open” box sections to
prevent condensation and water from
building up and rusting the inside of
the parts.
BODY AND UNDERBODY
WARRANTY
Your Fiat Doblò is covered by war-
ranty against any original structural or
body part being perforated by rust.
Refer to the Warranty Booklet for the
general terms.BODYWORK
PROTECTION FROM
ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS
The main causes of rust are:
– atmospheric pollution
– salt and humidity in the atmosphere
(coastal or very hot and humid areas)
– environmental conditions that are
specific to the season.
Not to be underestimated is also the
abrasive action of wind-borne atmos-
pheric dust and sand and mud and
gravel raised by other vehicles.
For your Fiat Doblò, Fiat has used
leading-edge technological solutions to
effectively protect the body from rust.
These include:
– Painting systems and products that
make the vehicle particularly resistant
to rust and scratching.
– The use of zinc-plated sheet steel
which is highly resistant to rust.
