IMPORTANT
This Owner Handbook describes all Fiat Doblò versions. Options, equipment dedicated to specific
markets or versions are not explicitly indicated in the text: as a consequence, you should only consider
the information which is related to the trim level, engine and version that you have purchased. Any
content introduced throughout the production of the model, outside the explicit request of options at the
time of purchase, will be identified with the wording(for versions/markets, where provided).
All data contained in this publication are intended to help you use your vehicle in the best possible way.
Fiat aims at a constant improvement of the vehicles produced. For this reason it reserves the right to
make changes to the model described for technical and/or commercial reasons.

THE FIAT CODE
SYSTEM
IN BRIEF
This is an electrical engine locking
system which increases protection
against attempted theft of the
vehicle. It is automatically
activated when the ignition key is
removed.
Each key contains an electronic
device which modulates the signal
emitted during ignition by an
antenna built into the ignition
device. The signal, which changes
each time the engine is started,
is the “password”, by means
of which the control unit
recognises the key and enables
starting.
1)
Operation
Each time the vehicle is started
turning the ignition key toMAR, the
Fiat CODE system control unit
sends a recognition code to the
Powertrain Control Module to
deactivate the inhibitor.
The acknowledgement code is sent
only if the Fiat CODE system control
unit has recognised the code
transmitted from the key.
Each time the ignition key is turned
to STOP, the Fiat CODE system
deactivates the functions of the
Powertrain Control Module.
Irregular operation
If, during starting, the code has not
been recognised correctly the
warning light
on the instrument
panel turns on accompanied by
the related message on the display
(see section “Warning lights and
messages”).
In this case, turn the key toSTOP
and then back toMAR; if the lock
continues, try with the other keys
provided with the vehicle. Contact a
Fiat Dealership if you still cannot
start the engine.

MAIN BEAM
HEADLIGHTS
With ring nut in position
, push
the stalk forward toward the
dashboard (stable position). The
warning light switches on in the
instrument panel. Pulling the stalk
towards the steering wheel, the
main beams are turned off and the
dipped headlights on.
FLASHING
You can flash the beams pulling the
stalk toward the steering wheel
(unstable position). The
warning
light switches on in the instrument
panel.
DIRECTION
INDICATORS
Bring the stalk into (stable) position
fig. 55:
❒up (position 1): to activate the right
direction indicator;
❒down (position 2): activates the left
direction indicator.
Warning lightorwill blink on
the instrument panel.Direction indicators switch off
automatically when the vehicle is
back in a straight line.
Lane change function
If you wish to signal a lane change,
place the left stalk in the unstable
position for less than half a second.
The direction indicator on the side
selected will flash five times and
then switch off automatically.
"FOLLOW ME HOME"
DEVICE
This device allows the illumination of
the space in front of the vehicle for
a preset time.Activation
With the ignition key in the STOP
position or extracted, pull the stalk
towards the steering wheel and
move it within 2 minutes of the
engine switching off.
Each time the stalk is moved, the
lights stay on for an extra 30
seconds up to a maximum of 210
seconds; then the lights are
switched off automatically.
The warning light
on the
instrument panel will light up and the
corresponding message will appear
in the display (see “Warning lights
and messages” section) for as long
as the function is activated.
The warning light comes on when
the stalk is operated and stays
on until the function is automatically
deactivated.
Each movement of the stalk only
increases the amount of time the
lights stay on.55F0V0516

❒air recirculation, to keep the
function always either on or off;
❒
to speed up demisting/defrosting
of windscreen, rear window and
external rear view mirrors.
During fully automatic system
operation, you can change the set
temperature, air distribution and fan
speed at any time by using the
relevant buttons or knobs: the
system will automatically change its
settings to adjust to the new
requirements.During fully automatic operation
(FULL AUTO), the word FULL will
disappear if the air distribution
and/or flow rate and/or engagement
of the compressor and/or
recirculation settings are changed. In
this way, the functions will switch
from automatic to manual control
until the AUTO button is pressed
again. With one or more functions
turned on manually, the adjustment
of the intake air temperature
continues to be managed
automatically, except with the
compressor switched off: if this is
the case, the temperature of the air
sent into the passenger
compartment cannot be lower than
that of the outside air.
CONTROLS
Air temperature
adjustment knob (I)
Turn the knob either clockwise or
anticlockwise to increase or lower
the requested temperature in the
passenger compartment.
The set temperature is shown on
the display.Turn the knob either fully to the right
or fully to the left to the extreme HI
or LO position to turn the maximum
heating or maximum cooling
functions on:❒HI function (maximum heating):
select by turning the temperature
knob clockwise beyond the
maximum value (32°C).
This function may be used to heat
up the passenger compartment
exploiting the system potential to
the maximum. In this condition, the
system stops controlling the
temperature automatically and sets
the air mixing to maximum heating.
The air speed and distribution are
fixed.
In particular, if the heating fluid is not
sufficiently hot, the maximum fan
speed does not come on straight
away in order to limit the intake
of insufficiently hot air to the
passenger compartment.
All manual settings will be allowed
when this function is on.
To switch the function off, simply
turn the temperature knob
anticlockwise and set the required
temperature.

KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
WARNING
44) Strictly adhere to the laws in
force concerning maximum
clearance.
45) Check that the attachment fixing
screws are tight after a few
kilometres.
IMPORTANT
8) Evenly distribute the load and
take into account, when driving,
the increased responsiveness
of the vehicle to side wind.
9) Never exceed the maximum
permitted loads (see chapter
“Technical specifications”).

ALIGNMENT
The correct alignment of the
headlights is essential for the
comfort and safety of the driver and
other road users. To ensure the
best visibility when travelling with the
headlights on, the headlight
alignment must be correct. Contact
a Fiat Dealership to have the
headlights checked and adjusted.
HEADLIGHT
ALIGNMENT
CORRECTOR
This device works with the ignition
key in the MAR position and the
dipped beam headlights on.
The vehicle tilts backwards when it
is laden, raising the beam. The
beams must therefore be realigned
in this case.Headlight alignment
adjustment
Press theandfig. 109
buttons on the control panel to
adjust.
The display located on the
instrument panel provides a visual
indication of the adjustment
position.
Position 0 - one or two people in the
front seats.
Position 1 - five people.
Position 2 - five people + load in the
luggage compartment.
Position 3 - driver + maximum
permitted load stowed in the
luggage compartment.
IMPORTANT Check the light beam
alignment every time the load
transported changes.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
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 diagram is shown on
the gear knob fig. 139).
IMPORTANT Reverse may only be
engaged when the vehicle is at a
standstill. With the engine running,
wait for at least 2 seconds with
the clutch pedal fully pressed before
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 gear lever
to the right and then backwards (as
shown in the diagram).
80)
21)
WARNING
80) Depress the clutch pedal fully to
change gear correctly. Therefore,
the floor area underneath the
pedal unit must not be obstructed
in any way. Ensure that the floor
mat is always laid flat and does
not interfere with use of the
pedals.
IMPORTANT
21) Do not drive with your hand
resting on the gear lever as the
force exerted, even if slight, could
lead over time to premature wear
of the internal gearbox
components. The clutch pedal
should be used only for gear
changes. Do not drive with your
foot resting on the clutch pedal,
however lightly. For versions/
markets where provided, the
electronic clutch control could cut
in by interpreting the incorrect
driving style as a fault.
