2015 FIAT DOBLO COMBI Fuel

14) The presence of water in the supply circuit may cause severe damage to the injection system and irregular engine
operation. If the
warning light switches on (on some versions together with the dedicated message on the
display), contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible to have the system bled. If the above indication occurs
immediately after refuelling, water may have entered the tank: turn the engine off immediately and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
15) During regeneration, the fan may be activated.
WARNING
52) Always drive at a speed appropriate to the traffic conditions, the weather and traffic regulations. The engine may be
stopped if the DPF light is on; however, repeated interruption of the regeneration process may result in premature
deterioration of the engine oil. For this reason, always wait until the warning light switches off before stopping the
engine as described above. It is not advisable to complete DPF regeneration with the vehicle stationary.

WARMING UP THE
ENGINE JUST AFTER IT
HAS STARTED
Proceed as follows:
❒drive off slowly, letting the engine turn
at medium revs. Do not accelerate
abruptly;
❒do not demand full performance at
first. Wait until the engine coolant
temperature gauge starts moving.
EMERGENCY
STARTING
If the instrument panel warning light
stays on steadily, you can
perform an emergency starting by
using the code on the CODE card
(see the “In an emergency” section).
20)
STOPPING THE
ENGINE
Turn the ignition key to STOP while
the engine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a taxing drive,
you should allow the engine to
“catch its breath” before turning it off
by letting it idle to allow the
temperature in the engine
compartment to fall.
IMPORTANT
17) It is advisable not to demand
maximum performance from
your vehicle (e.g. excessive
acceleration, long distances at
high speeds, excessively intense
braking, etc.) during the initial
period of use.
18) When the engine is off, do not
leave the key turned to MAR to
prevent unnecessary electrical
consumption from draining the
battery.
19) If the indicator flashes for 60
seconds after starting or
during an extended towing period,
this indicates a problem in the
glow plug pre­heating system.
Use the vehicle normally if the
engine starts, but contact a Fiat
Dealership as soon as possible.
20) Never start the engine by
pushing, towing or driving
downhill. This could cause fuel to
flow into the catalytic converter
and damage it beyond repair.
WARNING
78) It is dangerous to run the engine
in enclosed areas. The engine
takes in oxygen and releases
carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide
and other toxic gases.

START&STOP
SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
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 fuel
consumption, the emission of
harmful gases and noise pollution.
OPERATING MODE
Engine stopping mode
WITH MANUAL GEARBOX
With the vehicle stationary, the
engine stops with the gearbox in
neutral and the clutch pedal
released.WITH ROBOTIZED GEARBOX
The engine cuts out if the vehicle
stops with the brake pedal pressed.
This condition can be maintained
even if the brake pedal is not
depressed, if the gear lever is in
position N.
NOTE: The engine can only be
stopped automatically after a speed
of about 10 km/h is reached, to
prevent the engine from being
repeatedly stopped when driving at
walking pace.
The engine being stopped is
signalled by the fig. 140 icon on the
display, depending on the trim
level.Engine restarting
mode
WITH MANUAL GEARBOX
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 lever to (+), (–) or R.
MANUAL ACTIVATION
AND DEACTIVATION
The device can be activated/
deactivated via button A fig. 141
located to the side of the
handbrake.
The deactivation is signalled when
the LED on the button switches on.
In addition, on the versions where
provided, additional information
concerning the deactivation or
activation of the Start&Stop is given
through a message in the display.

STARTING AND DRIVING

SAFETY FUNCTIONS
In engine cut-out conditions through
the Start&Stop system, if the driver
unfastens his/her seat belt and
opens the driver's door or the
passenger door, the engine can be
restarted only by using the key.
The driver is notified of this condition
by a buzzer, through the fig. 140
warning light flashing in the
instrument panel and, where
provided, by a message in the
display.
"ENERGY SAVING"
FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
If, after the engine has been
automatically restarted, the driver
does not take any action for a
period of about 3 minutes,
the Start&Stop system will
definitively stop the engine to avoid
fuel consumption.
The engine can only be started
using the key in such cases. N.B.: In
any case, it is possible to keep the
engine running by deactivating
the Start&Stop system.IRREGULAR
OPERATION
In the case of malfunctions the
Start&Stop system is disabled.
The driver is informed of the
problem by the general failure
warning light A fig. 142, where
provided, coming on with an
information message and the
system failure symbol B fig. 142 in
the control panel. In this case,
contact a Fiat Dealership.VEHICLE INACTIVITY
Versions with dummy
pole fig. 143
If the vehicle is inactive, special care
must be taken to disconnect the
battery electrical power supply. This
procedure must be carried out by
disconnecting the rapid-release
negative terminal A from the
negative dummy pole B because
there is a battery status monitoring
sensor D on the negative battery
terminal C which must never be
disconnected, except if the battery
is replaced.

never connect the negative lead
(–) of the auxiliary battery to the
negative pole C of the vehicle
battery, but rather to either the
dummy pole B or to an
engine/gearbox earth point fig. 145.
82) 83) 84) 85)
WARNING
81) If the battery needs to be
replaced, always contact a Fiat
Dealership. Replace the battery
with a new one of the same type
and specifications.
82) Before opening the bonnet,
make sure that the vehicle is
switched off and the key is in the
OFF position. Please follow the
instructions on the decal near the
front crossmember. It is advisable
to extract the key when there
are other people in the vehicle.

84) For vehicles with robotised
gearbox, in the event of automatic
engine stopping with the vehicle
on a slope, the engine should
be restarted by moving the gear
lever towards (+) or (–) without
releasing the brake pedal. For
vehicles with robotised gearbox
and Hill Holder function, in the
event of automatic engine
stopping with the vehicle on a
slope, the engine must be
restarted by moving the gear lever
towards (+) or (–) without
releasing the brake pedal, so that
the Hill Holder function, active
only with the engine running,
becomes available.
85) If climate comfort is to be
favoured, the Start&Stop system
can be disabled, for a continuous
operation of the climate control
system.TPMS (Tyre
Pressure
Monitoring System)
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
86) 87) 88) 89) 90) 91) 92) 93) 94)
DESCRIPTION
The tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) warns the driver of low tyre
pressure on the basis of the cold
inflation pressure prescribed for the
vehicle.
Changes in outside temperature
may cause tyre pressure to vary.
This means that a decrease in the
outside temperature corresponds to
a decrease in the tyre pressure.
Tyre pressure must always be
adjusted according to the cold
inflation pressure. Cold tyre inflation
pressure is the tyre pressure after
letting the vehicle stand for at least
three hours or a travel shorter than
1.6 km after an interval of three
hours.
The cold tyre inflation pressure must
not exceed the maximum inflation
pressure value printed on the side of
the tyre.The tyre pressure also increases
while driving the vehicle: this is
a normal condition and does not
require any adjustment of the
pressure.
NOTE❒The TPMS does not replace the
normal tyre maintenance service and
does not indicate any fault in a tyre.
❒Therefore, the TPMS should not be
used as pressure switch while
adjusting the tyre inflation pressure.
❒Driving with insufficient tyre pressure
causes their overheating and can
result in tyre failure. The low inflation
pressure reduces fuel efficiency
and tyre tread life and may also affect
handling and braking performance
of the vehicle.
❒The TPMS does not replace the
correct tyre maintenance. It is up to
the driver to maintain the correct tyre
pressure level measuring it with a
suitable pressure switch. This is
necessary even if the decrease in the
inflation pressure value does not
cause the tyre pressure control
warning light to switch on.
144
STARTING AND DRIVING

89) Tyre pressure must be checked
with tyres cold. Should it become
necessary for whatever reason
to check pressure with warm
tyres, do not reduce pressure
even if it is higher than the
prescribed value, but repeat the
check when tyres are cold.
90) The TPMS cannot indicate
sudden tyre pressure drops (for
example when a tyre bursts).
In this case, stop the vehicle,
braking with caution and avoiding
abrupt steering.
91) The system only warns that the
tyre pressure is low: it is not able
to inflate them.
92) Insufficient tyre inflation
increases fuel consumption,
reduces the tread duration and
may affect the capacity to drive
safely.
93) Always refit the valve stem cap
after inspecting or adjusting tyre
pressure. This prevents dampness
or dirt from entering the valve
stem and thus the pressure
control sensor from being
damaged.94) The tyre repair kit (Fix&Go)
provided with the vehicle (for
versions/markets, where
provided) is compatible with the
TPMS sensors; using sealants not
equivalent with that in the original
kit may adversely affect its
operation. If sealants not
equivalent with the original one
are used, it is recommended to
have the TPMS sensor operation
checked by a qualified repair
centre.SPEED BLOCK
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
The vehicle is equipped with a
speed limitation function that can be
set at the user's request to one of
four predefined values: 90, 100,
110, 130 km/h.
To activate/deactivate this function,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
Following the operation, a sticker will
be applied to the windscreen
showing the top speed setting.
IMPORTANT The speedometer
could indicate a higher maximum
speed than the effective one, set by
the Dealership, in accordance with
the regulations in force.
