2016 FIAT DOBLO PANORAMA Owners Manual

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. 143).
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).

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.

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. 144 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. 145
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.

initialise the system.
In the above cases, the warning light
flashes fig. 103 and, where available,
there is a message in the display.RESTARTING
CONDITIONS
For reasons of comfort, limiting harmful
emissions and safety purposes, the
power unit can restart automatically
without any action by the driver if
certain conditions are met, including:
❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒reduced braking system vacuum
(e.g. if the brake pedal is pressed
repeatedly);
❒vehicle in motion (e.g. when driving
on roads with a gradient);
❒stopping the engine through the
Start&Stop system for more than
about three minutes.
❒automatic climate control system for
adjusting the thermal comfort level or
to enable MAX-DEF function.
With a gear engaged, the engine can
be automatically restarted only by
fully depressing the clutch pedal. The
driver is asked to perform this operation
through the warning light flashing in
the instrument panel fig. 103 and,
where provided, the message in the
display.N.B.: If you stall the engine, for example
by releasing off the clutch pedal quickly
when in gear, if the Start&Stop system
is activated, the engine can be
restarted by fully depressing the clutch
pedal or by putting the gear lever into
neutral.
N.B.: If the clutch is not depressed
when the three minutes have elapsed
since the engine was stopped, the
engine can only be restarted using the
key.
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. 144 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.
146, where provided, coming on with
an information message and the
system failure symbol B fig. 146 in the
control panel. In this case, contact a
Fiat Dealership.
VEHICLE INACTIVITYVersions with dummy
pole fig. 147
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.
Versions without dummy
pole fig. 148
In the event of vehicle inactivity, special
attention must be paid to the
disconnection of the battery power
supply.Proceed as follows: detach the
connector A (by pressing button B)
from sensor C for monitoring the status
of the battery installed on the negative
battery pole D. This sensor should
never be disconnected from the pole
except if the battery is replaced.

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.
83) 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.
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.❒The TPMS warns the driver of any
condition of insufficient tyre pressure
If this drops below the insufficient
pressure limit for any reason including
low temperature and normal
pressure loss of the tyre.
❒The seasonal temperature changes
affect tyre pressure.
The TPMS uses wireless devices with
electronic sensors mounted on the
wheel rims to constantly monitor the
value of tyre pressure. The sensors
mounted on each wheel as part of the
valve stem transmit various information
of the tyres to the receiver module, in
order to calculate the pressure.
IMPORTANT Monitoring and
maintaining the correct pressure in all
four tyres are particularly important.
Tyre pressure
monitoring system low
pressure warning
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by switching on
the warning light
on the instrument
panel (together with a warning message
and an acoustic signal).
138
STARTING AND DRIVING

The TPMS continues to advise the
driver of the low tyre pressure condition
until this is corrected; the warning
continues until the pressure
corresponds or exceeds the pressure
prescribed for the cold tyres. When the
tyre low pressure control warning
light
switches on constantly, the
inflation pressure must be adjusted until
it reaches the pressure prescribed for
cold tyres. After the automatic update
of the system, the tyre pressure control
warning light switches off. You may
need to drive the vehicle for about 20
minutes at a speed higher than 20
km/h to allow the TPMS to receive this
information.
IMPORTANT In the case of deflation of
more than one tyre sequentially, without
switching off and on the engine, from
the second tyre involved the acoustic
signal is not activated, only the
dedicated signal is shown on the
display.
To prevent the signal from being stored
in the event of pressure loss of a
subsequent tyre (with deactivation of
the acoustic signal), the ignition key
must be turned to MAR and then to
STOP, each time pressure is restored.TPMS operation faults
The system fault is indicated by
warning light
which first flashes for
75 seconds and then stays on steadily.
This can occur in any of the following
situations:
❒interference caused by electronic
devices or radio frequency emissions
similar to those of the TPM sensors.
❒Application of tinted films which
interfere with the signals of the radio
waves.
❒Presence of snow or ice on the
wheels or the wheel arches.
❒Use of snow chains.
❒Use of wheels/tyres not equipped
with TPM sensors.
❒The space-saver wheel is not
equipped with the tyre pressure
control sensor. Therefore, the tyre
pressure is not controlled by the
system.
NOTE The vehicle may be equipped
with FiX&Go Automatic tyre repair
kit, space-saver wheel or full size spare
wheel (with or without original TPMS
sensor to measure tyre pressure).After the punctured tyre has been
repaired with the original tyre sealant
contained in the FiX&Go Automatic tyre
repair kit, the previous condition must
be restored, so that the
warning
light is off during normal driving.
Space-saver wheel (for versions/
markets, where provided): the
space-saver wheel is not equipped with
a TPMS sensor. Once fitted, while
driving normally, the warning light
comes on (flashing for about 75
seconds, and then constantly). This
condition lasts until a wheel equipped
with an original TPMS sensor is fitted
on the vehicle.
Normal spare wheel (without TPMS
sensor): once fitted, while driving
normally, the
warning light comes on
(flashing for about 75 seconds, and
then constantly). This condition lasts
until a wheel equipped with an original
TPMS sensor is fitted on the vehicle.
The system is then restored and the
warning light switches off.
Normal spare wheel (with TPMS
sensor): once fitted, while driving
normally, the
warning light switches
off.
139

IMPORTANT In all the above-mentioned
cases, it is advisable to check the
spare wheel tyre pressure before
starting driving.
NOTE If the tyres are replaced, driving
the vehicle for short stretches, some
time might be needed before the
system is restored.
IMPORTANT
WARNING
86) The TPMS is optimised for the
original tyres and wheels
provided. TPMS pressures and
alerts have been defined
according to the size of the tyres
mounted on the vehicle. Using
equipment with different size,
type or kind may cause irregular
system operation or sensor
damage. Non-original spare
wheels can damage the sensor.
Do not use tyre sealant or
balancing weights if the vehicle is
equipped with TPMS as these
may damage the sensors.87) If the system signals a pressure
decrease on a specific tyre, it is
recommended to check the
pressure on all four tyres.
88) TPMS does not relieve the driver
from the obligation to check the
tyre pressure every month; it is
not to be considered a replacing
system for maintenance or a
safety system.
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.
