2017 FIAT DOBLO COMBI lights

becomes continuous when the
distance between the vehicle and the
obstacle is less than 30 cm and stops
immediately if the distance increases;
is constant if the distance between
the vehicle and the obstacle is
unchanged;
whereas, if this situation occurs for
the side sensors, the indication will stop
after about 3 seconds to avoid, for
example, warning indications in the
event of manoeuvres alongside walls.
Detection distances
If several obstacles are detected by the
sensors, only the nearest one is
considered.
FAULT INDICATIONS
Any parking sensor faults will be
indicated when reverse is engaged by
the warning light in the instrument panel
switching on together with the
message in the multifunction display, for
versions/markets, where provided (see
chapter "Warning lights and
messages”).

OPERATION WITH
TRAILER
Parking sensor operation is
automatically deactivated when the
electric cable plug of the trailer is
inserted into the vehicle tow hook
socket. The sensors are automatically
reactivated when the trailer's cable plug
is removed.
IMPORTANT
If you wish to leave the tow hook fitted
without towing a trailer, it is advisable to
contact a Fiat Dealership for the
relevant system update operations
because the tow hook could be
detected as an obstacle by the central
sensors.
GENERAL WARNINGS
115)
When parking, take the utmost care
over obstacles that may be above or
under the sensor.
Sometimes, objects located very
near the rear of the vehicle are not
detected and could therefore damage
the vehicle or be damaged themselves.
The following conditions may influence
the performance of the parking
assistance system:
Reduced sensor sensitivity and a
reduction in the parking assistance
system performance could be due to
the presence on the surface of the
sensor of: ice, snow, mud, thick paint.
The sensor may detect a non-
existent obstacle (echo noise) due to
mechanical noises, for example when
washing the vehicle, in case of rain,
strong wind, hail.
The signals sent out by the sensors
can be altered by dirt, snow or ice
deposited on the sensors or by
ultrasound systems (e.g. truck
pneumatic brakes or pneumatic drills)
near the vehicle.
The performance of the parking
assistance system may also be affected
by the position of the sensors. For
example by a change in the ride setting
(caused by the wear of the shock
absorbers, suspension), changing the
tyres, overloading the vehicle and
carrying out specific tuning operations
that require the vehicle to be lowered.
Detection of obstacles in the upper
part of the vehicle (particularly in the
case of vans or chassis cabs) may not
be guaranteed because the system
detects obstacles that could strike the
lower part of the vehicle.
The parking sensors work properly
with the swing doors closed.

STARTING AND DRIVING

WARNING
22)For diesel engines, use only diesel fuel
for motor vehicles in accordance with
EN590 European specifications. The use of
other products or mixtures may damage
the engine beyond repair and
consequently invalidate the warranty, due
to the damage caused. If you accidentally
introduce other types of fuel into the tank,
do not start the engine. Empty the tank.
If the engine has been run for even an
extremely limited amount of time, you must
not only drain the fuel tank, but the rest of
the supply circuit as well.
23)Do not approach naked flames or lit
cigarettes to the fuel tank filler: fire risk.
Keep your face away from the fuel filler to
prevent breathing in harmful vapours.
SAVING FUEL
Some useful tips are given below for
fuel saving and reducing harmful
emissions of CO2 and other pollutants
(nitrogen oxides, unburnt
hydrocarbons, Particulate Matter (PM),
etc.).
PRACTICAL ADVICE FOR
REDUCING FUEL
CONSUMPTION AND
HARMFUL EMISSIONS
Vehicle conditions
Have checks and adjustments for
vehicle maintenancecarried out
in accordance with the “Scheduled
servicing plan”.
Checktyrepressure regularly, at
least once every four weeks.
Excessively low pressures will increase
consumption because rolling resistance
will be higher. In addition, this wears
the tyre more quickly and impairs
performance.
Only usesnow tyreswhen the
weather conditions make them
absolutely necessary. They increase
consumption and noise.
Do not travel witha heavy load: the
weight of the vehicle (especially when
driving in town) and its geometry greatly
affect fuel consumption and stability.
Removeroof racks or ski racks
after use. These accessories reduce the
vehicle's aerodynamic penetration and
have a negative effect on fuel
consumption.
When transporting particularly large
objects, use atrailerif possible.
Use the vehicle's air vents if
possible: travelling with the windows
open impairs aerodynamics.
Use electrical devices only for the
amount of time needed. The vehicle’s
heated rear window, additional
headlights, screen wipers and heater
fan require a considerable amount
of energy; this increases fuel
consumption (by up to +25% in an
urban cycle).
Air conditioning leads to higher fuel
consumption (on average up to +30%).
If the temperature outside is not too
extreme, try and use the air vents.
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.
143

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.
TOWING TRAILERS
IMPORTANT
The vehicle must be equipped with a
type-approved tow hook and adequate
electrical system to tow trailers.
Installation should be carried out by
specialised personnel who will issue the
required papers for travelling on roads.
Install any specific and/or additional
door mirrors as specified by the
Highway Code.
Remember that when towing a trailer,
steep hills are harder to climb, braking
spaces increase and overtaking takes
longer depending on the overall weight.
Engage a low gear when driving
downhill, rather than constantly using
the brake.
The weight of the trailer on the vehicle
tow hook will reduce the loading
capacity of the vehicle by the same
amount.
To make sure that the maximum
towable weight is not exceeded (given
in the vehicle registration document)
account should be taken of the fully
laden trailer, including accessories and
luggage.
Do not exceed the speed limits specific
to each country you are driving in, in
the case of vehicles towing trailers.
In any case, the top speed must not
exceed 80 km/h.

GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
Before replacing a bulb check the
contacts for oxidation;
burnt bulbs must be replaced by
others of the same type and power;
always check the headlight beam
alignment after replacing a bulb;
when a light is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before changing a bulb. For the location
of fuses, refer to the paragraph “If a
fuse blows” in this section.

24) 25)
IMPORTANT The headlight inner
surface might be slightly misted: this
does not indicate a fault, it is a natural
phenomenon due to low temperature
and the air humidity level. Misting
will disappear rapidly when the
headlights are turned on. The presence
of drops inside the headlights indicates
infiltration of water. Contact a Fiat
Dealership.
