2015 FIAT DOBLO COMBI warning

118) affix the adhesive label in an
easy-to-see position for the driver
as a reminder that the tyre has
been treated with the quick tyre
repair kit. Drive carefully,
particularly on bends. Do not
exceed 80 km/h. Do not
accelerate or brake suddenly.
119) If the pressure has fallen below
1.8 bar, do not drive any further:
the automatic Fix&Go automatic
quick tyre repair kit cannot
guarantee the correct hold
because the tyre is too damaged.
Contact a Fiat Dealership.
120) Inform the Dealership that the
tyre has been repaired using the
quick tyre repair kit. Give the
booklet to the personnel charged
with handling the treated tyre.
IMPORTANT
28) Punctures caused by foreign
bodies can be repaired if the
damage does not exceed 4 mm on
the tread and on the shoulder of
the tyre.
IMPORTANT
2) Do not dispose of the can or the
sealing fluid as household waste.
Have them disposed of in
compliance with national and
local regulations.
EMERGENCY
STARTING
Go to a Fiat Dealership immediately
if warning light
stays on
constantly on the instrument panel.
JUMP STARTING
If the battery is flat, it is possible to
start the engine using an auxiliary
battery with the same capacity or a
little higher than the flat one.
Proceed as follows to start the
vehicle fig. 204:
❒connect the positive terminals (+
mark near the terminal) of the two
batteries using a suitable lead;
❒with a second lead, connect the
negative terminal (–) of the auxiliary
battery to an earthing point
on the
engine or the gearbox of the vehicle
to be started;
❒start the engine;
❒when the engine has been started,
remove the cables reversing the
order above.
If after a few attempts the engine
does not start, do not persist but
contact the nearest Fiat Dealership.
183

IMPORTANT Do not directly connect
the negative terminals of the two
batteries: any sparks may ignite the
explosive gas which could come
out of the battery. If the auxiliary
battery is installed on another
vehicle, avoid any metal parts on the
latter and the vehicle with the flat
battery from accidentally coming
into contact.
29)
121)
BUMP STARTING
Never bump start the engine by
pushing, towing or coasting
downhill. This could cause fuel to
flow into the catalytic converter and
damage it beyond repair.IMPORTANT Remember that the
brake booster and the electric
power steering system are
not active until the engine is started,
so you will need to apply much
more force to the brake pedal or
steering wheel.
IMPORTANT
29) Never use a fast battery-charger
for emergency starting of the
engine as this could damage the
electronic systems of your vehicle,
particularly the ignition and fuel
supply control units.
WARNING
121) This procedure must be
performed by qualified personnel
as incorrect actions may cause
high-intensity electrical discharge.
Furthermore, battery fluid is
poisonous and corrosive: avoid
contact with skin and eyes. Keep
naked flames away from the
battery. No smoking. Do not cause
sparks.

IN AN EMERGENCY

FUEL CUT-OFF
SYSTEM
This intervenes in the case of an
impact causing:
❒the fuel supply cut-off with the engine
consequently switching off;
❒the automatic unlocking of the doors;
❒the switching on of the interior lights;
❒switching on of the hazard warning
lights (to deactivate the lights press
the dedicated button on the
dashboard).
122)
When the system has been
triggered, the message “Fuel cut off,
see handbook” is displayed on
some versions.
Check carefully for fuel leaks, for
instance in the engine compartment,
under the vehicle or near the tank
area.
After a collision, turn the ignition key
to STOP to prevent the battery
from running down.
The following procedure should be
carried out to restore the correct
operation of the vehicle:
❒turn the ignition key to the MAR
position;❒activate the right direction indicator;
❒deactivate the right direction
indicator;
❒activate the left direction indicator;
❒deactivate the left direction indicator;
❒activate the right direction indicator;
❒deactivate the right direction
indicator;
❒activate the left direction indicator;
❒deactivate the left direction indicator;
❒turn the ignition key to the OFF
position.
WARNING
122) If, after an impact, you smell
fuel or notice leaks from the fuel
supply system, do not reactivate
the system to avoid the risk of fire.
LIFTING THE
VEHICLE
If the vehicle needs to be lifted, go
to a Fiat Dealership which is
equipped with the arm hoist or
workshop lift.
185

TOWING THE
VEHICLE
The tow ring provided with the
vehicle is located in the tool box
behind the left seat backrest (Cargo
versions) or in the boot (Doblò /
Doblò Combi versions).
ATTACHING THE TOW
HOOK
Proceed as follows:
❒release the cap A fig. 205-fig. 206;
❒take the tow hook B from the tool
bag;
❒fully screw the hook onto the
threaded front or rear pin.
123) 124) 125)
30)
WARNING
123) Before starting towing
operations, turn the ignition key to
MAR and then to STOP, without
extracting it. If the key is
extracted, the steering lock
engages automatically and it is
consequently impossible to steer
the wheels.
124) Clean the threaded seat
carefully before fastening the ring.
Before towing the vehicle, make
sure that the tow ring is fully
tightened in its appropriate
housing. Do not start the engine
whilst the vehicle is being towed.125) When towing, remember that
greater effort is required on the
brake pedal in order to brake,
since the brake servo is not
providing assistance. Do not use
flexible cables when towing and
avoid jerky movements. During
towing operations, make sure that
the fastened joint does not
damage adjoining components.
When towing the vehicle, comply
with the specific rules of the
highway code regarding the
towing device and road conduct.
Do not start the engine whilst
the vehicle is being towed.
