2009 FIAT DOBLO COMBI clutch

REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with
an octane rating (RON) of no less than 95 conform-
ing to the European specification EN 228.
Diesel engines: only use diesel fuel for motor vehicles
conforming to the European specification EN 590. The
use of other products or mixtures may damage the en-
gine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the war-
ranty, depending on the damage caused.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Petrol engines: make sure that the handbrake is en-
gaged, place the gear lever in neutral, fully depress the
clutch without depressing the accelerator, then turn
the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the
engine has started.
Diesel engines: turn the ignition key to MAR and wait
until the warning lights Y(or symbol on the display)
and mgo off. Then, turn the ignition key to AVV and
release it as soon as the engine has started.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic silencer reaches high temperatures dur-
ing operation. Do not park the on grass, dry leaves, pine
needles or other flammable material as this constitutes
a fire hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The vehicle is fitted with a system that allows contin-
uous diagnosis of the emission-related components in
order to help protect the environment.
K
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add electri-
cal accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the
battery), visit the Fiat Service Network. They can cal-
culate the overall electrical requirement and check that
the vehicle’s electrical system can support the required
load.
CODE card
Keep it in a safe place, not in the vehicle. You should
have the electronic code from the CODE card with
you at all times.
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
Correct maintenance is essential for ensuring the ve-
hicle stays in tip-top condition and retains its safety fea-
tures, its environmental friendliness and low running
costs for a long time to come.
THE OWNER’S HANDBOOK CONTAINS…

Each movement of the lever will correspond to a slight re-
duction in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the lever
held downwards will correspond to a continuous speed
reduction.
Switching the device off
The device can be switched off by the driver in the fol-
lowing ways:
❒turning the twist switch A to the OFF position;
❒switching off the engine.
Deactivating the function
The device can be de-activated by the driver in the fol-
lowing ways:
❒pressing the brake pedal when the device is adjusting
the speed;
❒pressing the clutch pedal when the device is adjusting
the speed;
❒pressing the button B – fig. 48 when the device is ad-
justing the speed (for versions/markets, where pro-
vided);
❒pressing the accelerator pedal; in this case, the sys-
tem is not really de-activated but the request for ac-
celeration takes priority. The cruise control is, how-
ever, active and you do not need to press button B -
fig. 48 to restore the previous conditions after accel-
erating. Restoring the memorized speed
If the device has been switched off, for example by press-
ing the brake or clutch pedal, the memorized speed can
be restored as follows:
❒accelerate gradually until reaching a speed approaching
the memorised speed;
❒engage the gear selected at the time of speed memo-
rizing;
❒press button B-fig. 48.
Increasing the memorized speed
This can be done in two ways:
❒by pressing the accelerator and then memorizing the
new speed reached;
or
❒by moving the lever upwards (+).
Each operation of the lever will correspond to a slight in-
crease in speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping the lever
upwards will correspond to a continuous speed increase.
Reducing the memorized speed
This can be done in two ways:
❒by turning the device off and then memorizing a new
speed;
or
❒by moving the lever downwards (–) until reaching the
new speed, which will be memorized automatically.

START&STOP SYSTEM
FOREWORD
The Start&Stop device automatically stops the engine each
time the vehicle is stationary and starts it again when the
driver wants to move off.
This improves the efficiency of the vehicle by reducing fu-
el consumption, the emission of harmful gases and noise
pollution.
The system is activated each time the vehicle is started.
OPERATING MODES
Engine cut-out mode
WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION
With the vehicle stationary, the engine cuts out with the
gearbox in neutral and the clutch pedal released.

GENERAL WARNINGS
❒When parking, pay special attention to obstacles that
may be set above or below the sensors.
❒Sometimes, objects located very near the rear of the
vehicle are not detected and could therefore damage
the vehicle or be damaged themselves.
❒The signals sent out by the sensors can be altered by
dirt, snow or ice deposited on the sensors or by ul-
trasound systems (e.g. truck pneumatic brakes or pneu-
matic drills) near the vehicle.
❒The parking sensors work properly with the swing
doors closed. If they are open, they can cause the sys-
tem to send false signals: always close the rear doors.
The ultimate responsibility when parking
and carrying out other dangerous ma-
noeuvres still rests with the driver. When park-
ing, make sure that no-one is standing in the area,
especially children or animals. Parking sensors are
designed to assist drivers; however, you must al-
ways concentrate fully during potentially danger-
ous manoeuvres, even if carried out at low speeds.

WITH ROBOTISED GEARBOX
The engine cuts out if the vehicle stops with the brake ped-
al pressed.
This condition can be maintained even if the brake pedal
is not depressed, if the gear lever is in position N.
N.B.: The engine can only be stopped automatically after
a speed of about 10 Km/h is reached, to prevent the en-
gine from being repeatedly stopped when driving at walk-
ing pace.
The engine being stopped is signalled by a symbol fig. 103
on the display, depending on the trim level.
Engine restarting mode
WITH NORMAL TRANSMISSION
Depress the clutch pedal to restart the engine.
WITH ROBOTIZED GEARBOX
If the gear lever is in position N, place it in any other gear,
otherwise release the brake pedal or move the gear le-
ver to (
+), (–) or R.

MANUAL ACTIVATION AND
DEACTIVATION
The device can be activated/deactivated via button A-fig.
104 located to the side of the handbrake. When the func-
tion is not active, the button LED is on.
In addition, on some versions, additional information con-
cerning the deactivation or activation of the Start&Stop
system is given through a message in the display.
FAILED ENGINE CUT-OUT CONDITIONS
With the device activated, for reasons of comfort, limiting
emissions and safety, the engine does not stop in certain
conditions, including:
❒engine still cold;
❒particularly cold outside temperatures, where the ap-
propriate indication is provided;
❒battery not sufficiently charged;
035-114 DOBLO LUM EN 2e 7.0 21-05-2010 9:54 Pagina 105

❒vehicle in motion, for example when driving on hilly
roads;
❒stopping the engine through the Start&Stop system for
more than about three minutes.
❒automatic climate control system for establishing a
comfortable temperature or enabling the MAX – DEF
function.
With a gear engaged, the engine can only be automatical-
ly restarted by fully depressing the clutch pedal. The dri-
ver is asked to perform this operation through the warn-
ing light flashing in the instrument panel fig. 103 and, where
provided, the message in the display.
N.B.: If the clutch is not depressed when the three min-
utes have elapsed since the engine was stopped, the en-
gine can only be restarted using the key.
N.B.: If you stall the engine, for example by releasing off
the clutch pedal quickly with gear engaged, if the
Start&Stop system is activated, the engine can be restart-
ed by fully depressing the clutch pedal or by putting the
gear lever into neutral.
SAFETY FUNCTIONS
In engine cut-out conditions through the Start&Stop sys-
tem, if the driver unfastens his/her seat belt and opens the
driver’s side door or the passenger’s side door, the engine
can only be restarted using the key.
The driver is notified of this condition by a buzzer, through
the warning light flashing in the instrument panel fig. 103
and, where provided, by a message in the display.

STARTING PROCEDURE FOR PETROL
VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❒ensure that the handbrake is on;
❒put the gear lever into neutral;
❒fully depress the clutch pedal without touching the ac-
celerator;
❒turn the ignition key to AVV and let it go the moment
the engine starts.
If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return
the ignition key to STOP before repeating the procedure.
If, when the ignition key is at MAR, the instrument panel
warning light
Yremains on together with warning light
U, turn the key to STOP and then back to MAR; if the
warning light remains on, try the other keys provided with
the vehicle. If you still cannot start the engine, perform
an emergency start (see “Emergency starting” in the “In
an emergency” section) and go to a Fiat Dealership.
STARTING THE ENGINE
The vehicle is fitted with an immobiliser: if the engine fails
to start, see the paragraph on “The Fiat CODE system” in
the “Dashboard and controls” section.
The engine may be noisier during the first few seconds of
operation, particularly after a long period of inactivity. This
is due to the hydraulic tappets, the timing system chosen
for petrol engine versions to reduce the number of ser-
vicing interventions, and affects neither functionality nor
reliability.
STARTING AND DRIVING
It is advisable not to demand maximum
performance from your vehicle (e.g. exces-
sive acceleration, long distances at high
speeds, excessive intense braking, etc.) during the
initial period of use.
To avoid draining the battery, do not leave
the ignition key in the MAR position when
the engine is off.
It is dangerous to run the engine in closed
environments. The engine takes in oxygen
and discharges carbon dioxide, carbon monox-
ide and other toxic gases.

STARTING PROCEDURE FOR DIESEL
VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❒ensure that the handbrake is on;
❒put the gear lever into neutral;
❒turn the ignition key to MAR: the warning lights Yand
mon the instrument panel will turn on;
❒wait for the warning lights Yand mto turn off. The
hotter the engine is, the quicker this will happen;
❒fully depress the clutch pedal without touching the ac-
celerator;
❒turn the ignition key to AVV as soon as warning light
mgoes out. Waiting too long will waste the heating
work done by the glow plugs.
Release the key as soon as the engine starts.
IMPORTANT With the engine cold, the accelerator ped-
al must be fully released when you turn the ignition key to
AVV.
If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return
the ignition key to STOP before repeating the procedure.
If instrument panel warning light
Yremains lit when the
ignition key is at MAR, turn the key to STOP and then back
to MAR; if the warning light remains lit, try the other keys
provided with the vehicle. Contact a Fiat Dealership if the
engine still does not start.
Warning light mwill flash for 60 seconds
after starting or during prolonged crank-
ing to indicate a fault in the glow plug pre-
heating system. Use the vehicle normally if the en-
gine starts, but go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible.
HOW TO WARM UP THE ENGINE
AFTER IT HAS JUST STARTED
Proceed as follows:
❒drive off slowly at medium revs, and accelerate
smoothly;
❒do not demand maximum performance for the first few
kilometres. Wait until the engine coolant gauge starts
moving.
EMERGENCY STARTING
If the instrument panel warning light Ystays on steadily, you
can perform an emergency start by using the code on the CODE
card (see the “In an emergency” section).

PARKING THE VEHICLE
Proceed as follows:
❒stop the engine and engage the handbrake;
❒engage a gear (first gear if parked uphill or reverse if fac-
ing downhill) and leave the wheels turned.
If the vehicle is parked on a steep slope, it is advisable to
block the wheels with a wedge or stone.
To prevent draining the battery, do not leave the ignition
key turned to MAR. Always remove the key when you
leave the vehicle.
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle. Always re-
move the ignition key when leaving the vehicle, and take
it with you.
USING THE GEARBOX
To engage the gears, depress the clutch pedal fully and shift
the gear lever A-fig. 127 into the required position (the di-
agram is shown on the gear knob fig. 127).
IMPORTANT Reverse may be engaged only when the ve-
hicle is at a standstill. With the engine running, wait for
at least 2 seconds with the clutch pedal fully depressed be-
fore engaging reverse to prevent damage to the gears and
grating.
To engage reverse R from neutral, lift ring B under the
knob and at the same time move the gearstick to the right
and then backwards (as shown in the diagram).
