INDEXMANUAL DEACTIVATION OF FRONT AND
SIDE PASSENGER AIRBAGS FOR HEAD AND
TORSE PROTECTION
(for versions/markets where provided)
On Doblò M1 versions, whenever a child needs to be car-
ried on the front seat, the passenger’s front airbags and
side bags for head and chest protection (for versions/mar-
kets where provided) can be deactivated.
The warning light
“on the instrument panel stays on un-
til the passenger’s front and side airbags for head and torse
protection (for versions/markets where provided) are re-
activated.
On Doblò Cargo versions with foldaway passenger seat
and split, revolving partition or ladder, the passenger front
airbags and the side bags for chest/head protection (for
versions/markets where provided) need to be deactivat-
ed if a load is carried with the seat folded down.
IMPORTANT To manually deactivate the passenger’s front
and side airbags for head and torse protection (for ver-
sions/markets where provided), refer to “Digital display”
and “Multifunction display” in the “Know your vehicle”
section.
SIDE BAGS
(for versions/markets where provided)
On some versions, the vehicle may be fitted with driver
and passenger front side airbags for head and torse pro-
tection.
Side bags protect occupants from side-on crashes of medi-
um/high severity by placing the bag between the occu-
pant and the internal parts of the side structure of the
vehicle.
Non-activation of side bags in other types of collisions
(head-on collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc...) is not
an indication of system malfunction.
An electronic control unit causes the bags to inflate in
the event of a side-on collision. The bags inflate instanta-
neously, placing themselves between the occupant’s body
and the structures which could cause injury. They deflate
immediately afterwards.
Side bags are not a replacement of, but rather a comple-
ment to, seat belts, which you are recommended to wear
at all times, as specified by law in Europe and most non-
European countries.
For this reason, the seat belt must be worn at all times.
In the case of side-on collisions, the seat belts hold occu-
pants in the correct position and prevent them from be-
ing thrown out of the car by a very violent collision.

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.

INDEXSTARTING 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 Y
and 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 oth-
er keys provided with the vehicle. Contact a Fiat Dealer-
ship 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).

INDEXHANDBRAKE
The handbrake is located between the two front seats.
Pull the lever upwards to engage the handbrake and en-
sure that the vehicle does not move.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition key to STOP while the engine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a long drive, you should allow the
engine to “catch its breath” before turning it off by let-
ting it idle to allow the temperature in the engine com-
partment to fall.
Never jump start the engine by pushing,
towing or driving downhill. This could cause
fuel to flow into the catalytic converter and
damage it beyond repair.
The vehicle should be secured after sev-
eral clicks of the lever. If it is not, contact
a FIAT Dealership to have it adjusted.
WARNING
When the handbrake is on and the ignition key is at MAR,
the instrument panel warning light
xwill come on.
Proceed as follows to release the handbrake:
❒lift the lever slightly and press release button A-fig. 126;
❒hold button A down and lower the lever. The xwarn-
ing light on the instrument panel will go out.
Depress the brake pedal when carrying out this opera-
tion to prevent the vehicle from moving accidentally.

RIGHT-HAND DIRECTION
INDICATOR (green – intermittent)
The warning light turns on when the direction
indicator stalk is moved upwards or, together with
the left indicator, when the hazard lights button is pressed.

off and the display will show a specific message to inform
you that the system is on again.
GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR
(for versions/markets where provided)
On vehicles with a manual gearbox, the gear shift indica-
tor suggests gear changes to the driver (SHIFT UP or
SHIFT DOWN) via a special display on the control pan-
el. This suggestion to change gear is designed to improve
consumption and ensure the best driving style.
NBThe sign on the instrument panel remains on until
the driver changes gear or until the driving conditions re-
turn to a situation where a gear change is not required
to reduce consumption.

STARTING THE ENGINE
EMERGENCY STARTING
If the instrument panel warning light
Ystays on perma-
nently, contact a Fiat Dealership immediately.
JUMP STARTING
If the battery is flat, the engine may be started using an
auxiliary battery with an equal or slightly higher capacity
than the flat one.
IN AN EMERGENCY
In an emergency, we recommend that you call the freephone number found in the Warranty Booklet. You can
also go to the www.fiat.com website to find your nearest Fiat Dealership.
To do so, proceed as follows (fig. 128):
❒connect the positive terminals (+ sign near the termi-
nal) of the two batteries with a jump lead;
❒with a second lead, connect the negative terminal (–)
of the auxiliary battery to an earthing point Eon the
engine or the gearbox of the car to be started;
❒start the engine.
❒when the engine has been started, follow the sequence
above in reverse order to remove the leads.
If after a few attempts the engine does not start, do not
keep trying but contact a Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Do not directly connect the negative ter-
minals of the two batteries: sparks could ignite explosive
gas released from the battery. If the auxiliary battery is
installed on another vehicle, prevent accidental contact
between metallic parts of the two vehicles.
