2016 FIAT DOBLO COMBI battery

EMERGENCY STARTING
In the case of emergency starting,
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. 147.

WARNING
98)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.
99)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.100)The vehicle should always be
evacuated after the key has been removed
or turned to the OFF position. When
refuelling, make sure that the vehicle is
switched off with the key in the OFF
position.
101)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.
102)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)
103) 104) 105) 106) 107) 108) 109) 110) 111)
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.

IN AN EMERGENCY

WARNING
28)The label on the Fix&Go kit’s packaging
gives the information required by the laws
in force. To ensure that the Fix&Go kit is
safe and effective, it is essential to comply
with all the instructions given on the label.
Carefully read the label before use, avoid
improper use. Fix&Go is subject to
expiration and must be replaced
periodically. The kit should be used by
adults and cannot be used by children.
WARNING
129)Show the package and the label to
the personnel charged with handling
the tyre treated with the tyre repair kit.
130)Fix&Go provides a temporary repair,
therefore the tyre must be examined and
repaired by a specialist as soon as
possible. The sealing fluid is effective at
temperatures between -40°C and +50°C. It
is possible to repair tyres which have
been damaged on tread up to a diameter
of 4mm; however, tyres damaged on
their side cannot be repaired. Before using
Fix&Go kit, ensure that the tyre isn't
excessively damaged and that the rim is in
good condition, otherwise do not use it
and contact a Fiat Dealership. Do not
remove foreign bodies from the tyre. Do
not let the compressor turned on for more
than 20 consecutive minutes - overheating
hazard.
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. 205:
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.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)
131)
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.
WARNING
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
131)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.
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).
132)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
132)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.
