2011 FIAT DOBLO COMBI parking brake

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…
... information, tips and important warnings on the cor-
rect use and maintenance of your vehicle over time as
well as safe driving tips. Pay special attention to the sym-
bols
"(personal safety) #(protecting the environ-
ment) !(risk of serious damage to the vehicle).

INDEX
At pick-up, the ESP system control unit will maintain the
braking pressure at the wheels until the necessary engine
torque for moving away is reached or, in any case, for a
maximum of 1.75 seconds in order to move easily from
the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
If the vehicle has not departed after this time, the system
will deactivate automatically by gradually releasing the brak-
ing pressure.
During this release stage, the typical brake disengagement
noise indicating that the vehicle is going to move immi-
nently will be heard.
Failure indications
System failure is indicated by the turning on of warning
light
*in the instrument panel with digital display and
warning light
áin the instrument panel with multifunction
display (for versions/markets where provided) (see sec-
tion “Warning lights and messages”).
IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system is not a parking
brake; therefore, never leave the vehicle without having
engaged the handbrake, turned the engine off and engaged
the first gear. FAILURE INDICATIONS
In the event of a failure, the ESP will be automatically
switched off and the
áwarning light will come on per-
manently in the instrument panel along with a message in
the multifunction display (for versions/markets where pro-
vided) (see “Warning lights and messages” section). The
LED on the ASR OFF button will also light up. Contact the
Fiat Service Network as soon as possible if this happens.
Do not take unnecessary risks, even if your
vehicle is fitted with an ESP system. Your
driving style must always be suited to the road
conditions, visibility and traffic. The driver is al-
ways ultimately responsible for road safety.
WARNING
HILL HOLDER SYSTEM
This is an integral part of the ESP system and facilitates
hill starts. It is automatically activated in the following con-
ditions:
❒uphill: vehicle stationary on a road with a gradient high-
er than 5%, engine running, brake pedal pressed and
gearbox in neutral or gear other than reverse;
❒downhill: vehicle stationary on a road with a gradient
higher than 5 per cent, engine running, brake pedal de-
pressed and reverse gear engaged. For the correct operation of the ESP and
ASR systems, the tyres must absolutely be
the same make and type on all wheels, in perfect
condition and, above all, of the type, make and
size specified.
WARNING

F0V0040mfig. 103
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.
WARNING

❒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.

ditions are met, including:
❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒windscreen wipers working at maximum speed;
❒reduced braking system vacuum, e.g. following the
brake pedal being pressed repeatedly;

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).
