amberDPF (PARTICULATE FILTER) CLEANING UNDERWAY
(for versions/markets, where provided)
When the key is turned to MAR, the warning light
switches on but it should switch off after a few seconds.
The warning light switches on constantly to inform the
driver that the DPF system needs to eliminate the trapped
pollutants (particulate) through the regeneration process.
A dedicated message will appear on the display when the
warning light switches on (for versions/markets, where
provided).The warning light does not come on during every DPF
regeneration, but only when driving conditions require
that the driver is notified. The warning light will switch
off if the vehicle remains in motion until regeneration
has been completed. On average, the process lasts
15 minutes.
The best conditions to complete the regeneration
process are reached by driving the vehicle constantly
at 60 km/h with engine speed above 2000 rpm. When
this warning light comes on, it does not indicate a
vehicle failure and it should not therefore be taken to a
workshop.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Manual deactivation of
passenger side front
airbag and side bag for
chest/head protection
(for versions/markets, where provided)
For Doblò versions designed to carry
people (M1 type-approval), if a child
must of necessity be carried on the
front seat, sitting on a rearward facing
child restraint system, the passenger
front airbag and side bag for chest/
head protection (for versions/markets,
where provided) must be deactivated,
since, in the event of impact, airbag
activation may cause fatal injuries to the
child carried.
IMPORTANT To manually deactivate the
passenger's front and side airbags for
head and torso protection (for
versions/markets where provided), refer
to "Digital display" and “Multifunction
display” paragraph in the “Know your
vehicle” chapter.
The
warning light “ above the front
courtesy light fig. 137 signals the status
of passenger protection. If the warning
light is off, the passenger side
protection is activated.
When the passenger side front airbag
and side bag for chest protection
(for versions/markets where provided)
are activated again, the warning light
switches off.When the vehicle is started (key in MAR
position), the warning light turns on
for approx. 8 seconds. If not, contact a
Fiat Dealership.
During the first 8 seconds, the
activation of the warning light does not
actually show the passenger protection
status, but only checks its correct
operation.

SAFETY

In the event of a side impact, the
system provides best protection if the
passenger sits on the seat in a correct
position, thus allowing correct window
bag deployment.
IMPORTANT NOTES
The front airbags and/or side bags
(where provided) may be deployed if
the vehicle is subject to heavy knocks
or accidents involving the underbody
area, such as for example violent
shocks against steps, kerbs or low
obstacles, or the vehicle falling into big
potholes or depressions in the road.
A small amount of dust will be released
when the airbags are deployed. The
dust is not harmful and does not
indicate the beginning of a fire.
Furthermore, the surface of the
deployed bag and the interior of the
vehicle may be covered in a dusty
residue: this may irritate your skin and
eyes. Wash with mild soap and water in
the event of exposure.
Should an accident occur in which any
of the safety devices are activated,
take the vehicle to a Fiat Dealership to
have the activated devices replaced
and to have the whole system checked.
Every control, repair and replacement
operation concerning the airbags must
be carried out only at Fiat Dealerships.If you are having the vehicle scrapped,
have the system deactivated at a Fiat
Dealership first. If the vehicle changes
ownership, the new owner must be
informed of how to use the airbags and
the above warnings and also be given
this "Owner Handbook".
Pretensioners, front airbags and front
side bags are deployed differently
according to the type of collision.
Failure to activate one or more of the
devices does not indicate a system
malfunction.

WARNING
87)If thewarning light does not turn on
when the key is turned to MAR, or if it
stays on when travelling (together with the
message on the display on some versions),
there could be a failure in the restraint
systems. If this is the case, the airbags or
pretensioners may not trigger in the event
of an accident or, less likely, they may
trigger accidentally. Contact a Fiat
Dealership immediately to have the system
checked.
88)Do not travel carrying objects in your
lap, in front of your chest or between your
lips (pipe, pencils, etc.): they could cause
severe injury if the airbag is deployed.
89)On cars with side bags, do not cover
the front seat backrests with extra covers.90)If the car has been stolen or in the case
of attempt to steal it, if it has been
subjected to vandalism or floods, have the
airbag system checked by a Fiat
Dealership.
91)If the ignition device is at MAR, even if
the engine is switched off, airbags may
be deployed when the vehicle is stationary
and hit by another vehicle. Therefore,
even if the vehicle is stationary, when an
active front passenger airbag is fitted, DO
NOT install rearward facing child restraint
systems on the front passenger seat.
Deployment of the airbag following an
impact could cause fatal injuries to the
child. Therefore, always deactivate the
passenger side airbag when a rearward
facing child restraint system is installed on
the front passenger seat. The front
passenger seat must also be positioned
back as far as possible in order to prevent
the child restraint system from coming
into contact with the dashboard.
Immediately reactivate the passenger
airbag as soon as the child restraint system
has been removed. Also remember that, if
the ignition device is set to STOP, none
of the safety devices (airbags or
pretensioners) will be deployed in the event
of collision. Non-deployment in such
cases does not indicate a system
malfunction.
92)Do not affix rigid objects to the garment
hooks or support handles.
93)Do not rest your head, arms or elbows
on the door, windows or the area in which
the Window bag is located to avoid
possible injury during airbag inflation.
94)Never lean your head, arms or elbows
out of the window.

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.
17) 18)
95)
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 lightsand
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.

STARTING AND DRIVING

19)
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.
WARNING
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
95)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.
HANDBRAKE
The handbrake lever is located between
the front seats. Pull the lever upwards
to engage the handbrake and ensure
that the vehicle does not move. The
vehicle should be secured after several
clicks of the lever. If it is not, contact
a Fiat Dealership to have it adjusted.
96)When the handbrake lever is engaged
and the ignition key is in MAR position,
the instrument panel warning light
will switch on.
Proceed as follows to release the
handbrake:
slightly lift the lever and press
release button A fig. 140;
keep button A pressed and lower
the lever. The
warning light in the
instrument panel will switch off.
Press the brake pedal when carrying
out this operation to prevent the vehicle
from moving accidentally.
PARKING
Proceed as follows:
stop the engine and engage the
handbrake;
engage the gear (on a slope, engage
first gear if the vehicle is facing uphill
or reverse if it is facing downhill) and
leave the wheels steered.
