2015 FIAT DOBLO COMBI lights

During this release stage, the typical
brake disengagement noise
indicating that the vehicle is going to
move imminently will be heard.
Fault indications
Any system fault is indicated by the
turning on of the
warning light on
the instrument panel with digital
display and the
warning light on
the instrument panel with
multifunction display (for versions/
markets where provided) (see
section “Warning lights and
messages”).
IMPORTANT The Hill Holder system
is not a parking brake, therefore
do not leave the vehicle without
activating the handbrake, switching
off the engine and engaging first
gear.
59)
ASR SYSTEM (Antislip
Regulator)
This is a traction control system that
cuts in automatically every time
one or both drive wheels slip.Depending on the slipping
conditions, two different control
systems are activated:
❒if the slipping involves both drive
wheels, the ASR intervenes reducing
the power transmitted by the engine;
❒if the slipping only involves one of the
drive wheels, it intervenes
automatically braking the wheel that
is slipping.
The action of the ASR system is
particularly helpful in the following
circumstances:
❒slipping of the inner wheel on bends
due to dynamic variations in the load
or excessive acceleration;
❒excessive power transmitted to the
wheels, also in relation to road
surface conditions;
❒acceleration on slippery, snowy or icy
road surfaces;
❒loss of grip on wet road surfaces
(aquaplaning).
MSR system (engine
drive regulation)
This is a system that, in the event of
a sudden gear down shift, cuts in
and provides torque to the engine
thus preventing excessive drive
wheel drive which, especially in poor
grip conditions, can lead to a loss
of stability.
Engagement/
disengagement of the
ASR system
The ASR system switches on
automatically each time the engine
is started.
Whilst driving, the ASR can be
switched off and subsequently
switched on again by pressing the
fig. 118 button on the dashboard.
Switching off is shown by the
warning light on the instrument
panel switching on and a dedicated
message shown in the multifunction
display, where provided.
If the ASR is switched off when
driving, it is automatically switched
on again when the vehicle is started
up.
113

When travelling on snowy roads with
snow chains, it may be helpful to
turn the ASR off: in fact, in these
conditions, the driving wheels
slipping when moving off gives you
better traction.
60)
For the correct operation of the ASR
system, 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.FAULT INDICATIONS
In the event of a fault, the ASR will
be automatically switched off and
the
warning light will appear
permanently on the instrument panel
along with a message on the
multifunction display, where
provided (see “Warning lights and
messages”). In this case, contact a
Fiat Dealership as soon as possible.
WARNING
58) Do not take unnecessary risks,
even if your vehicle is fitted with
an ESC system. Your driving style
must always be suited to the
road conditions, visibility
and traffic. The driver is always
responsible for road safety.
59) For the ESC and ASR systems to
function correctly, all four tyres
must be the same brand and type,
must be in excellent condition
and, above all, must be of the
prescribed type and size.60) Do not take unnecessary risks,
even if your vehicle is fitted with
this system. Your driving style
must always be suited to the road
conditions, visibility and traffic.
The driver is always responsible
for road safety.

SAFETY

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,
especially 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 servicing
interventions, and affects neither
functionality nor reliability.

PROCEDURE FOR
PETROL VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❒engage the handbrake;
❒put the gear lever into neutral;
❒fully depress the clutch pedal,
without touching the accelerator;
❒turn the ignition key to AVV and
release it as soon as the engine
starts.
If the engine does not start at the
first attempt, return the ignition key
to STOP before repeating the
starting procedure.
If, when the ignition key is on MAR,
the instrument panel warning light
remains on together with
warning light
, 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 are still unable to start the
engine, perform the emergency
starting procedure (see "Emergency
starting" in the "In an emergency"
chapter) and contact a Fiat
Dealership.
PROCEDURE FOR
DIESEL VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
❒engage the handbrake;
❒put the gear lever into neutral;
❒turn the ignition key to MAR: the
warning lights
andon
the instrument panel will turn on;
❒wait for the warning lights
and
to switch off. The hotter the
engine is, the quicker this will
happen;❒fully depress the clutch pedal,
without touching the accelerator;
❒turn the ignition key to AVV as soon
as warning light
switches off.
Waiting too long will waste the
heating work carried out by the glow
plugs.
Release the key as soon as the
engine starts.
IMPORTANT With the engine cold,
the accelerator pedal 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
starting procedure.
If, when the ignition key is at MAR
the
warning light remains lit, turn
the key to STOP and then back to
MAR; if the warning light remains lit,
try with the other keys provided
with the vehicle. If you still cannot
start the engine, contact a Fiat
Dealership.

STARTING AND DRIVING

ACOUSTIC SIGNAL
When reverse gear is engaged an
intermittent acoustic signal is
automatically activated.
The frequency of the acoustic signal:
❒increases as the distance between
the vehicle and the obstacle
decreases;
❒becomes continuous when the
distance between the vehicle and the
obstacle is less than 30 cm and
stops immediately if the distance
increases;
❒is constant if the distance between
the vehicle and the obstacle is
unchanged;
❒whereas, if this situation occurs for
the side sensors, the indication will
stop after about 3 seconds to avoid,
for example, warning indications in
the event of manoeuvres alongside
walls.
Detection distances
If several obstacles are detected by
the sensors, only the nearest one
is considered.FAULT INDICATIONS
Any parking sensor faults will be
indicated when reverse is engaged
by the warning light in the
instrument panel switching on
together with the message in the
multifunction display, for
versions/markets, where provided
(see chapter "Warning lights and
messages”).
97)
OPERATION WITH
TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is
automatically deactivated when the
electric cable plug of the trailer is
inserted into the vehicle tow hook
socket. The sensors are
automatically reactivated when the
trailer's cable plug is removed.
IMPORTANT
If you wish to leave the tow hook
fitted without towing a trailer, it
is advisable to contact a Fiat
Dealership for the relevant system
update operations because the tow
hook could be detected as an
obstacle by the central sensors.GENERAL WARNINGS
98)
❒When parking, take the utmost care
over obstacles that may be above or
under the sensor.
❒Sometimes, objects located very
near the rear of the vehicle are not
detected and could therefore
damage the vehicle or be damaged
themselves.
The following conditions may
influence the performance of the
parking assistance system:
❒Reduced sensor sensitivity and a
reduction in the parking assistance
system performance could be due to
the presence on the surface of the
sensor of: ice, snow, mud, thick
paint.
❒The sensor may detect a non-
existent obstacle (echo noise) due to
mechanical noises, for example
when washing the vehicle, in case of
rain, strong wind, hail.
❒The signals sent out by the sensors
can be altered by dirt, snow or ice
deposited on the sensors or by
ultrasound systems (e.g. truck
pneumatic brakes or pneumatic drills)
near the vehicle.
151

IMPORTANT
22) For diesel engines, use only
diesel fuel for motor vehicles
in accordance with EN590
European specifications. The use
of other products or mixtures
may damage the engine beyond
repair and consequently invalidate
the warranty, due to the damage
caused. If you accidentally refuel
with another type of fuel, do not
start the engine, and drain the
tank. If the engine has run, even
for a very short time, you will need
to have the entire fuel supply
system emptied in addition to the
tank.
23) Do not bring naked flames or lit
cigarettes near the fuel tank filler:
fire risk. Keep your face away
from the fuel filler to prevent
breathing in harmful vapours.
SAVING FUEL
Some useful tips are given below for
fuel saving and reducing harmful
emissions of CO2 and other
pollutants (nitrogen oxides, unburnt
hydrocarbons, Particulate Matter
(PM), etc.).
PRACTICAL ADVICE
FOR REDUCING FUEL
CONSUMPTION AND
HARMFUL EMISSIONS
Vehicle conditions
❒Have checks and adjustments for
vehicle maintenancecarried out
in accordance with the “Scheduled
servicing plan”.
❒Checktyrepressure regularly, at
least once every four weeks.
Excessively low pressures will
increase consumption because
rolling resistance will be higher. In
addition, this wears the tyre more
quickly and impairs performance.
❒Only usesnow tyreswhen
the weather conditions make them
absolutely necessary. They increase
consumption and noise.❒Do not travel witha heavy load: the
weight of the vehicle (especially when
driving in town) and its geometry
greatly affect fuel consumption and
stability.
❒Removeroof racks or ski racks
after use. These accessories reduce
the vehicle's aerodynamic
penetration and have a negative
effect on fuel consumption.
❒When transporting particularly large
objects, use atrailerif possible.
❒Use the vehicle's air vents if possible:
travelling with the windows open
impairs aerodynamics.
❒Use electrical devices only for the
amount of time needed. The vehicle’s
heated rear window, additional
headlights, screen wipers and heater
fan require a considerable amount
of energy; this increases fuel
consumption (by up to +25% in an
urban cycle).
❒Air conditioning leads to higher fuel
consumption (on average up to
+30%). If the temperature outside is
not too extreme, try and use the
air vents.
154
STARTING AND DRIVING

Driving style
❒Afterstarting the engineyou
should drive away immediately and
slowly, avoiding high revs. Do not
warm up the engine at low or high
revs when the vehicle is stationary;
this causes the engine to warm
up more slowly, thereby increasing
fuel consumption, emissions and
mechanical component wear.
❒Avoidpointless actionssuch as
revving up when at traffic lights or
before stopping the engine. The latter
action, like double-declutching, is
unnecessary and causes increased
fuel consumption and pollution.
❒Gear selection:select a high gear
as soon as possible (taking into
account normal engine operation and
traffic conditions) without pushing
the engine to high revs during the
intermediate gears. Using low gears
at high revs to get lively acceleration
increases fuel consumption, harmful
emissions and engine wear.❒Vehicle speed:fuel consumption
increases exponentially as the speed
of the vehicle increases. Keep your
speed moderate and as even as
possible, avoiding unnecessary
braking and acceleration, which
cause excessive fuel consumption
and increased emissions. Keeping a
safe distance from the vehicle in
front helps to maintain a steady
speed.
❒Acceleration:accelerating violently
severely affects consumption and
emissions. Acceleration should
be gradual and should not exceed
the maximum engine torque rate.
CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short journeys and frequent cold
starts do not allow the engine to
reach optimum operating
temperature.
This results in a significant increase
in consumption levels (from +15
to +30% on the urban cycle) and
emissions.Traffic and road
conditions
Rather high consumption levels are
linked to situations with heavy traffic,
for instance when travelling in
queues with frequent use of the
lower gears or in cities with many
traffic lights. Winding mountain
roads and rough road surfaces also
adversely affect consumption.
Stops in traffic
During prolonged hold-ups (e.g.
level crossings) the engine should
be switched off.

the hazard warning lights come
on automatically, as do theand
warning lights in the panel.
The function switches off
automatically when the nature of the
braking changes. This function
complies with the relevant legislation
currently in force.
REPLACING A BULB
GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
❒Before replacing a bulb check the
contacts for oxidation;
❒burnt bulbs must be replaced by
others of the same type and power;
❒always check the headlight beam
alignment after replacing a bulb;
❒when a light is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before changing a bulb. For the
location of fuses, refer to the
paragraph “If a fuse blows” in this
section.

24) 25)
IMPORTANT The headlight inner
surface might be slightly misted: this
does not indicate a fault, it is a
natural phenomenon due to low
temperature and the air humidity
level. Misting will disappear rapidly
when the headlights are turned
on. The presence of drops inside the
headlights indicates infiltration of
water. Contact a Fiat Dealership.
