2016 FIAT DOBLO PANORAMA Handbrake

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.

STARTING AND DRIVING

CHANGING A WHEEL
The vehicle is originally equipped with
the Fix&Go automatic quick tyre repair
kit (see instructions in the next section).
As an alternative, the vehicle may
have a normal-sized spare wheel.
Wheel changing and correct use of the
jack and spare wheel call for some
precautions, as listed below.
108) 109) 110) 111)
Note for one-way tyres
One-way tyres have a few arrows
on the side indicating the rotation
direction. If a wheel is changed (when
punctured, for example) the direction of
the arrows on the spare wheel tyre
may not coincide with the rotation
direction of the wheel to be replaced.
In these conditions, too, the tyre still
maintains its safety features.
Anyway, it is recommended to have the
wheel repaired and refitted as soon as
possible, as the best performance is
achieved when the rotation direction of
all tyres coincides with the one
indicated by the arrows.
Please note that:
❒the jack weight is 4 kg;
❒the jack requires no adjustment;❒the jack cannot be repaired and in
the event of a fault it must be
replaced by another original one;
❒no tool other than its cranking device
may be fitted on the jack.
To change a wheel, proceed as follows:
❒stop the vehicle in a position that is
not dangerous for oncoming traffic
where you can change the wheel
safely. The ground should be flat
if possible, and sufficiently firm;
❒stop the engine and pull the
handbrake;
❒engage first gear or reverse;
❒wear the reflective safety jacket
(compulsory by law in certain
countries) before getting out of the
vehicle;
❒indicate that the vehicle has broken
down using the devices required by
the law in the current country (e.g.
warning triangle, hazard lights, etc.);
❒for Cargo versions fig. 184: move the
left front seat forward and operate
lever A to access the tool bag; take it
to the wheel that needs replacing;❒for Doblò/Doblò Combi versions fig.
185: open the rear doors, inside the
compartment on the rear right side,
take the tool bag, unhooking the
elastic band from the buckle, and
take it next to the wheel to be
changed;

INFLATION PROCEDURE
117)
❒Pull the handbrake. Unscrew the tyre
valve cap, take out the filler hose A
fig. 202 and tighten the ring nut B on
the tyre valve;❒make sure that switch E fig. 204 for
the compressor is in position 0 (off),
start the engine, insert plug D fig. 203
into the power socket and switch on
the compressor by placing switch
E fig. 204 in position I (on). Inflate the
tyre to the pressure specified in the
"Cold tyre pressures" paragraph
in "Technical data" chapter. Check
tyre pressure on gauge F fig. 204
with compressor off to obtain a more
precise reading;

❒if after 5 minutes it is still impossible
to reach at least 1.5 bar, disengage
the compressor from the valve and
power socket, then move the vehicle
forwards by approx. 10 metres in
order to distribute the sealant inside
the tyre evenly, then repeat the
inflation operation;
❒if after this operation it is still
impossible after 5 minutes to reach at
least 1.8 bar, do not start driving
since the tyre is excessively damaged
and the quick tyre repair kit cannot
guarantee proper hold, contact a Fiat
Dealership;
❒if reaching the tyre pressure specified
in paragraph “Inflation pressure” in
chapter “Technical Data”, start driving
immediately;
118) 119) 120)
❒after having driven for about 10
minutes, stop and recheck the tyre
pressure fig. 205; remember to apply
the handbrake;
❒if at least 1.8 bar pressure is read,
restore correct pressure (with engine
running and handbrake on) and
restart;
❒drive with the utmost care to the
nearest Fiat Dealership.FOR CHECKING AND
RESTORING PRESSURE
ONLY
The compressor can also be used
solely for restoring pressure. Release
the quick coupling and connect directly
to the tyre valve fig. 206; in this way,
the bottle will not be connected to the
compressor and no sealing fluid will
be injected.BOTTLE REPLACEMENT
PROCEDURE
To replace the bottle, proceed as
follows:
❒disconnect coupling B fig. 207;
❒turn the bottle to be replaced
anticlockwise and raise it;
❒fit the new bottle and turn it
clockwise;
❒connect coupling B to the cylinder
and fit transparent pipe A in the
specific compartment.

PROLONGED
VEHICLE INACTIVITY
If the vehicle needs to be off the road
for longer than one month, the following
precautions must be taken:
❒park the vehicle indoors in a dry and,
if possible, well-ventilated place;
❒engage a gear and check that the
handbrake is not engaged;
❒disconnect the negative terminal from
the battery pole (see paragraph
“Vehicle inactivity” in the "Dashboard
and controls" chapter) and check
the charge conditions (see paragraph
“Battery” in the “Care and
maintenance” chapter);
❒clean and protect the painted parts
using protective wax;
❒clean and protect the shiny metal
parts using special compounds
available commercially;
❒sprinkle talcum powder on the
windscreen and rear window wiper
rubber blades and lift them off the
glass;
❒slightly open the windows;❒cover the vehicle with a piece of
fabric or perforated plastic sheet. Do
not use compact plastic tarpaulins,
which prevent humidity from
evaporating from the surface of the
vehicle;
❒inflate tyres to +0.5 bar above the
standard specified pressure and
check it at intervals;
❒do not drain the engine cooling
system.
BODYWORK
PROTECTION AGAINST
ATMOSPHERIC AGENTS
The main causes of corrosion are the
following:
❒atmospheric pollution;
❒salty air and humidity (coastal areas,
or hot humid climates);
❒seasonal environmental conditions.
The abrasive action of wind-borne
atmospheric dust and sand, as well as
mud and gravel raised by other cars
is also not to be underestimated.
On your vehicle, Fiat has implemented
the best manufacturing technologies
to effectively protect the bodywork
against corrosion.
These include:
❒painting products and systems which
give the vehicle particular resistance
to corrosion and abrasion;
❒use of galvanised (or pretreated)
sheet metal, with high resistance
to corrosion;
❒spraying the underbody, engine
compartment, wheelhouse internal
parts and other parts with highly
protective wax products;
