– 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.

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”).

157VEHICLE MAINTENANCE
ENGINE OIL fig. 6, 7, 8
Check engine oil with the vehicle on
level ground and while the engine is
still warm (approximately 5 minutes
after stopping the engine.
The oil level should be included be-
tween the MINand MAXreference
marks on the dipstick.
The space between MINand MAX
equals about 1 litre of oil.If the oil level is near or actually be-
low the MINmark, add oil through
the filler until it reaches the MAX
mark.
Oil level shall never exceed the
MAXmark. Be very careful under
the bonnet: you risk burn-
ing yourself. Remember
that when the engine is hot, the
fan can start up and cause in-
juries.
Do not add oil with dif-
ferent specifications from
the oil already in the en-
gine.

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.

164VEHICLE MAINTENANCE
Incorrect fitting of elec-
trical and electronic ac-
cessories can seriously
damage the vehicle.
If after buying the vehicle, you
want to install electric acces-
sories which require permanent
electric supply (alarm, free-hand
phone kit, etc.) contact Fiat Deal-
ership whose qualified personnel,
in addition to suggesting the
most suitable devices, will evalu-
ate the overall electric absorp-
tion, checking whether the vehi-
cle electric system is capable of
withstanding the load required,
or whether it should be integrat-
ed with a more powerful battery.
Batteries contain sub-
stances that are very
harmful for the environ-
ment. You are advised to have
the battery changed at a Fiat
Dealership. It is properly
equipped for disposing of used
batteries in an environmentally-
friendly way that complies with
the law.The liquid in the battery
is poisonous and corro-
sive. Avoid contact with
eyes and skin. Do not bring naked
flames or possible sources of
sparks near the battery: risk of
fire and explosion.CHANGING THE BATTERY
If required, replace the battery with
a genuine spare part having the same
specifications.
If a battery with different specifica-
tions is fitted, the service intervals giv-
en in the “Service schedule” in this
section will no longer be valid. Refer
therefore to the instructions provid-
ed by the battery manufacturer.
Running the battery
with low fluid level can
damage the battery be-
yond repair and could also cause
its explosion.

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.
