The direction indicators will auto-
matically be switched off when the ve-
hicle is straightened out.
If you wish to signal a lane change
where only a slight movement of the
steering wheel is required, move the
stalk up or down without pushing it far
enough to make it click. The stalk will
return to the neutral position as soon
as it is released.

ABS
The vehicle can be fitted with an ABS
braking system, which prevents the
wheels from locking when braking,
makes the most of road grip and gives
the best control when emergency
braking under difficult road conditions.
The driver can tell the ABS system
has come into play because the brake
pedal pulsates slightly and the system
gets noisier.
This should not be interpreted as a
fault in the brakes; on the contrary it
is a sign that the ABS system is work-
ing: it tells the driver that the vehicle
is travelling at the limit of its road grip
and that he should alter his speed to
fit the type of road surface.
The ABS system is an addition to the
basic braking system. If there is a mal-
function, the system turns off auto-
matically and only the ordinary brakes
continue to work.If a failure occurs, and consequently
the anti-lock function is not effective,
the braking system will continue to
work as usual.
If you have never driven a vehicle
with ABS before, you should practice
using the system on slippery terrain,
obviously with the necessary safety
precautions and keeping to the High-
way Code of the country you are in.
It is also a good idea to read the fol-
lowing information carefully.
The advantage in using the ABS sys-
tem is that it continues to give you
maximum manoeuvrability even when
braking hard in conditions of poor grip
by preventing the wheels locking.
You should, however, not expect the
braking distance to always decrease:
for example surfaces with gravel or
fresh snow on a slippery road will in
fact increase the braking distance. Correct positions as a function
of the load
0- one or two occupants in the
front seats.
1- five occupants.
2- five occupants + load in boot.
3- driver + maximum permissible
load stowed in boot.
Check the headlight
beam position every time
you change the load to be
carried.
HEADLIGHT ADJUSTMENT
ABROAD
Headlights are orientated as to drive
inside the country of origin before sell-
ing the vehicle. When travelling in
countries with opposite driving direc-
tion, you need to cover the headlight
areas according to the Road Code of
the country you are travelling in.

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.

BUMP STARTING IF A TYRE IS
PUNCTURED
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Wheel changing and correct use of
the jack and spare wheel call for some
precautions as listed below. Catalysed vehicles must
not be bump started
(pushed, towed or coast-
ed down hill) 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.
Alert other drivers that
the vehicle is stationary in
compliance with local
regulations: hazard warning
lights, warning triangle etc.
Passengers on board should
leave the vehicle, especially if it is
heavily laden. Passengers should
stay away from oncoming traffic
while the wheel is being changed.
If the wheel is being changed on
a steep or badly surfaced road,
place wedges or other suitable
material under the wheels to
stop the vehicle.
The spare wheel is vehicle-spe-
cific. Never use the wheel on oth-
er models. Never fit other mod-
el spare wheels on your vehicle.
Do not use the jack for
loads over the value indi-
cated on the plate.
The jack should only be used to
change a wheel on the vehicle for
which it was designed. It should
not be put to other uses or em-
ployed to raise other models of
vehicle. Under no circumstances
should it be used when carrying
out repairs under the vehicle.
An incorrectly positioned jack
may cause the vehicle to fall.
119-148 Doblo GB 9-05-2008 12:09 Pagina 121

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.
5. Take the bag to the wheel to be re-
placed.
5)Take the wheel removal wrench.

13)Operate the jack and lift the ve-
hicle until the wheel to be changed is
several centimetres off the ground.
When turning the jack handle make
sure that it can be used easily and take
care not to scrape your hand against
the ground. The moving parts of the
jack (screw and joints) may also cause
injury if touched. Clean off any grease.
14)Remove the four wheel bolts are
remove the wheel.
15) Ensure that the housings for the
wheel bolts on the spare wheel are
clean and free from dirt which could
cause the wheel bolts to come loose.
16)Fit the spare wheel making the
holes A-fig. 10coincide with the re-
spective centring pins B.17)Where relevant, take small
wheel cup and fasten the four fasten-
ing screws.
18)Turn the jack handle to lower
the vehicle and remove the jack.
19)Fasten bolts completely, work-
ing in a criss-cross fashion as shown in
fig. 11.
20)To versions with large wheel
cup, make symbol “fig. 12coincide
with the inflation valve. Fasten the four
bolts are shown in 19).
