2016 FIAT DOBLO PANORAMA clutch

VERY IMPORTANT
REFUELLING
Petrol engines: only refuel with unleaded petrol with octane rating (RON) not less than 95 in compliance with the European specification
EN228.Diesel engines: only refuel with diesel fuel conforming to the European specification EN590. The use of other products or mixtures
may damage the engine beyond repair and consequently invalidate the warranty, due to the damage caused.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Petrol engines: make sure that the handbrake is engaged; set the gear lever to neutral; fully depress the clutch pedal without pressing the
accelerator, then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has started.Diesel engines: turn the ignition key to MAR
and wait for the
andwarning lights to switch off. Then turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine has
started.
PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL
The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park on grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other flammable
material: fire hazard.
RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
The vehicle is fitted with a system that allows continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to help protect the
environment.
ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES
If, after buying the vehicle, you decide to add electrical accessories (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), visit a Fiat Dealership. They
can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle's electrical system can support the required load.
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct maintenance enables the vehicle to perfectly maintain performance and safety characteristics, its environmental friendliness and low
running costs over time.

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.

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

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.

STARTING AND DRIVING

ENGINE STOPPING
FAILURE CONDITIONS
With the device activated, for reasons
of comfort, limiting emissions and
safety, the engine does not stop in
certain conditions, including:
❒engine still cold;
❒particularly cold external
temperatures, if the corresponding
indication is provided;
❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒particulate filter regeneration in
progress (diesel engines only);
❒driver's door not shut;
❒driver's seat belt not fastened;
❒reverse gear engaged (for example,
for parking manoeuvres);
❒automatic climate control, if a
suitable thermal comfort level has not
yet been reached or MAX-DEF
function activation;
❒during the first period of use, to
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.

Restoring the stored
speed
If the device has been deactivated, for
example by depressing the brake or
clutch pedal, the stored speed can be
restored as follows:
❒accelerate progressively until a speed
close to that stored is reached;
❒engage the gear selected at the time
that the speed was stored;
❒press button B fig. 150.
Increasing the stored
speed
This can be done in two ways:
❒by pressing the accelerator and
memorizing the new speed reached;
or
❒by moving the stalk upwards (+).
Each operation of the stalk will
correspond to a slight increase in
speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping
the stalk upwards will increase the
speed continuously.Reducing the stored
speed
This can be done in two ways:
❒by deactivating the device and then
storing the new speed
or
❒by moving the stalk downwards (-)
until the new speed, which will
automatically remain memorised, is
reached.
Each movement of the stalk will
correspond to a slight reduction in
speed of about 1 km/h, while keeping
the stalk held downwards will decrease
the speed continuously.
Deactivating the device
The device can be switched off by the
driver in the following ways:
❒by turning ring nut A to the OFF
position;
❒if the engine is stopped (leaving the
stalk ring nut at ON), when the
ignition key is next turned to ON,
Cruise Control will be activated
automatically.Deactivating the
function
The device can be switched off by the
driver in the following ways:
❒by pressing the brake pedal when the
device is adjusting the speed:
❒by pressing the clutch pedal when
the device is adjusting the speed;
❒by pressing button B fig. 150 when
the device is adjusting the speed
(for versions/markets, where
provided);
❒by pressing the accelerator pedal (in
this case the system is not actually
turned off but the acceleration
request takes priority; the cruise
control remains activated, without the
need to the press button B fig. 150
to restore the previous conditions
once the acceleration is over).
The device is automatically switched off
in the following cases:
❒if the ABS or ESC systems intervene
❒with the vehicle speed below the
set limit
❒in the event of system failure.
142
STARTING AND DRIVING

Driving style
❒Afterstarting the engineyou
should drive away immediately and
slowly, avoiding high revs. Do not
warm up the engine at low or high
revs when the vehicle is stationary;
this causes the engine to warm
up more slowly, thereby increasing
fuel consumption, emissions and
mechanical component wear.
❒Avoidpointless actionssuch as
revving up when at traffic lights or
before stopping the engine. The latter
action, like double-declutching, is
unnecessary and causes increased
fuel consumption and pollution.
❒Gear selection:select a high gear
as soon as possible (taking into
account normal engine operation and
traffic conditions) without pushing
the engine to high revs during the
intermediate gears. Using low gears
at high revs to get lively acceleration
increases fuel consumption, harmful
emissions and engine wear.❒Vehicle speed:fuel consumption
increases exponentially as the speed
of the vehicle increases. Keep your
speed moderate and as even as
possible, avoiding unnecessary
braking and acceleration, which
cause excessive fuel consumption
and increased emissions. Keeping a
safe distance from the vehicle in
front helps to maintain a steady
speed.
❒Acceleration:accelerating violently
severely affects consumption and
emissions. Acceleration should
be gradual and should not exceed
the maximum engine torque rate.
CONDITIONS OF USE
Cold starting
Short journeys and frequent cold starts
do not allow the engine to reach
optimum operating temperature.
This results in a significant increase in
consumption levels (from +15 to +30%
on the urban cycle) and emissions.Traffic and road
conditions
Rather high consumption levels are
linked to situations with heavy traffic, for
instance when travelling in queues
with frequent use of the lower gears or
in cities with many traffic lights. Winding
mountain roads and rough road
surfaces also adversely affect
consumption.
Stops in traffic
During prolonged hold-ups (e.g. level
crossings) the engine should be
switched off.

insert the threaded pin into one of the
bolt holes and secure by tightening
knob B;
❒for vehicles with alloy rims take the
adapter D fig. 197 and fit the plastic
spacer C between the spring and the
flange of the bracket. The plastic fin
must be directed downwards and
perfectly coincide with the flange cut
part;
❒fit the bracket E fig. 198 in the
adapter D, fit the pin in the hole and
fasten by the knob F;❒position the wheel vertically and rest
the fitted adaptor on the inside of the

fig. 199. Tighten the screws with
the wheel removal wrench.
NOTE Use the spare wheel covering
bag to protect the replaced alloy wheel.❒Check that the position of the
replaced wheel under the platform is
correct (the lifting system is equipped
with a clutch to limit the end of the
stroke, incorrect positioning may
jeopardise safety;)
❒put the jack and the tools back in the
dedicated tool bag;
❒reposition the tool bag behind the left
side seat (Cargo versions) or, resting
the bottom of the bag against the
side panel, in the compartment inside
the rear right side (Doblò/Doblò
Combi versions).
