2018 FIAT DOBLO COMBI ESP

MSR system (engine drive
regulation)
The system prevents the drive wheels
from possibly locking, which could
happen, for example, if the accelerator
pedal is released suddenly or in the
case of a sudden downshifting in
conditions of poor grip.
In these conditions, the engine braking
effect could cause the drive wheels
to slip, resulting in a loss of vehicle
stability. In these situations, the MSR
system intervenes, restoring torque to
the engine in order to conserve vehicle
stability and increase safety.
Engagement/disengagement of the
ASR system
The ASR system switches on
automatically each time the engine is
started.
Whilst driving, the ASR can be switched
off and subsequently switched on
again by pressing the fig. 99 button on
the dashboard.
Switching off is shown by the
warning light on the instrument panel
switching on and a dedicated message
shown in the multifunction display,
where provided.
If the ASR is switched off while driving,
it is automatically switched on again
when the car is started up.When travelling on snowy roads with
snow chains, it may be helpful to turn
the ASR off: in fact, in these conditions,
the driving wheels skidding when
moving off gives you better traction.
FAULT INDICATIONS
In the event of a fault, the ASR will be
automatically switched off and the
warning light will appear
permanently on the instrument panel
along with a message on the
multifunction display, where provided
(see “Warning lights and messages”). In
this case, contact the Fiat Service
Network as soon as possible.
WARNING
54)ESC performance features must not
induce the driver to take unnecessary
or unfounded risks. Your driving style must
always be suited to the road conditions,
visibility and traffic. The driver is always
responsible for road safety.55)For the correct operation of the ESC
and ASR system it is vital that the tyres are
the same make and the same type on all
the wheels, in perfect condition and, above
all, the recommended type and size.

SAFETY

OCCUPANT
PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
The most important safety equipment
of the vehicle comprises the following
protection systems:
seat belts;
SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system;
head restraints;
child restraint systems;
front airbags and side bags.
Read the information given the
following pages with the utmost care. It
is of fundamental importance that the
protection systems are used in the
correct way to guarantee the maximum
possible safety level for the driver and
the passengers.
SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT BELTS
All vehicle seats are equipped with seat
belts with three anchor points and a
retractor. The retractor mechanism
operates locking the belt in the event of
sharp braking or strong deceleration
due to an impact.
This allows the belt strap to slide freely
and to adapt to the body of the
occupant. In the event of an accident,
the belt will lock reducing the risk of
impact inside the passenger
compartment and of being projected
outside the vehicle. The driver is
responsible for respecting, and
ensuring that all the other occupants of
the vehicle also respect, the local laws
in force in relation to the use of the seat
belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before
setting off.
The seat belt should be worn keeping
the chest straight and rested against
the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the
tongue A fig. 100 and insert it into the
buckle B, until it clicks into place.
If the seat belt jams during removal, let
it rewind for a short stretch, then pull
it out again without jerking.To unfasten the seat belts, press button
C. Guide the seat belt with your hand
while it is rewinding, to prevent it from
twisting.
56) 57)
The retractor may lock up when the
vehicle is parked on a steep slope: this
is perfectly normal. Furthermore, the
retractor mechanism locks the belt if it
is pulled sharply or in the event of
sudden braking, collisions and
high-speed bends.
All rear seats (for Doblò/Doblò Combi
versions) are fitted with inertia seat belts
with three anchor points and a
retractor.
The rear seat belts (for Doblò/Doblò
Combi versions) must be worn as
shown in fig. 101 - fig. 102.

It is recommended to always choose
the restraint system most suitable
for the child; for this reason always refer
to the Owner Handbook provided with
the child restraint system, to be sure
that it is of the right type for the children
it is intended for.
When over 1.50 m in height, from the
point of view of restraint systems,
children are considered as adults and
wear seat belts normally.
In Europe child restraint systems are
classified, among other criteria, into five
weight groups:
Group Weight groups
Group 0up to 10 kg in
weight
Group 0+up to 13 kg in
weight
Group 1 9 - 18 kg
Group 2 15 - 25 kg
Group 3 22 - 36 kg
All restraint devices must bear the
type-approval data, together with the
control mark, on a label solidly fixed to
the child restraint system which must
never be removed.
Lineaccessori Fiat offers child restraint
systems for each weight group. These
devices are recommended having been
specifically designed for Fiat vehicles.
64)
GROUP 0 and 0+
Babies up to 13 kg must be carried
rearward facing on a cradle restraint
system, which, supporting the head,
does not induce stress on the neck
in the event of sharp decelerations.
The cradle is restrained by the vehicle's
seat belts, as shown in fig. 108 and it
must restrain the child in turn with
its own belts.GROUP 1
From 9 to 18 kg in weight, children may
be carried facing forwards fig. 109.
65) 66)
GROUP 2
Children from 15 to 25 kg may use the
vehicle's seat belts directly fig. 110. The
child restraint system is needed only
to position the child correctly with
respect to the belts so that the diagonal
section crosses the child's chest and
never the neck, and the lower part
is snug on the pelvis not the abdomen.

JUMP STARTING
When jump starting, never connect the
negative lead (–) of the auxiliary battery
to the negative pole C of the vehicle
battery, but rather to either the false
pole B or to an engine/gearbox earth
point fig. 132.
97) 98) 99) 100)
WARNING
96)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.
97)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.98)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.
99)For vehicles with robotised gearbox, if
the engine is stopped downhill, the engine
must be restarted by the gear lever
towards (+) or (-) without releasing the
brake pedal. For vehicles with robotised
gearbox and Hill Holder function, in case of
engine automatic stop with the car
downhill, the engine must be restarted
moving the gear lever towards (+) or (-)
without releasing the brake pedal, so that
the Hill Holder function becomes available,
as it works only with engine running.
100)If climate comfort is to be favoured,
the Start&Stop system can be deactivated,
for a continuous operation of the climate
control system.
TPMS (Tyre
Pressure
Monitoring System)
(for versions/markets, where provided)
101) 102) 103) 104) 105) 106) 107) 108) 109)
DESCRIPTION
The system warns the driver if one or
more tyres are flat by turning on the
warning light on the instrument
panel (together with a warning message
and an acoustic signal). The indication
continues until the pressure
corresponds to or exceeds that
specified 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.
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.

Storing vehicle speed
Proceed as follows:
turn ring nut A fig. 133 to ON and
press the accelerator pedal so that the
vehicle reaches the desired speed;
move the stalk upwards (+) for at
least one second, then release it: the
vehicle speed is memorised and you
can therefore release the accelerator
pedal.
If necessary (when overtaking for
instance) acceleration is possible by
simply pressing the accelerator pedal:
releasing the accelerator pedal, the
vehicle will return to the speed
memorised previously.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. 133.
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. 133 when
the device is adjusting the speed (for
versions/markets, where provided);

STARTING AND DRIVING

If they are open, they can cause the
system to send false signals: always
close the rear doors.
Do not apply stickers to the sensors.
WARNING
112)The sensor must be free of mud, dirt,
snow or ice in order for the system to
work. Be careful not to scratch or damage
the sensors while cleaning them. Avoid
using dry, rough or hard cloths. The
sensors must be washed using clean
water, with the addition of vehicle
shampoo if necessary. When using special
washing equipment such as high pressure
jets or steam cleaning, clean the sensors
very quickly keeping the jet more than
10 cm away.
113)Parking manoeuvres, however, are
always the driver’s responsibility. While
carrying out these manoeuvres, always
make sure that no people (especially
children) or animals are in the area
concerned. The parking sensor is designed
to assist drivers, who must still never
allow their attention to lapse during
potentially dangerous manoeuvres even if
performed at low speed.
REFUELLING THE
VEHICLE
PETROL ENGINES
Only use unleaded petrol, with an
octane number (R.O.N.) not lower than
95.
IMPORTANT Never use leaded petrol,
even in small amounts or in an
emergency, as this would damage the
catalytic converter beyond repair.
DIESEL ENGINES
Operation at low temperatures
Only use Diesel for motor vehicles
(EN590 specification).
In order to avoid these problems,
different types of Diesel are distributed
according to the season: summer
type, winter type and Arctic type (cold,
mountain areas). If refuelling with diesel
whose specifications are not suitable
for the usage temperature, it is
advisable to mix PETRONAS
DURANCE DIESEL ART additive in the
proportions shown on the container
with the fuel. Pour the additive into the
tank before the fuel.
When using or parking the vehicle for a
long time in the mountains or cold
areas, it is advisable to refuel using
locally available diesel fuel.In this case, it is also advisable to keep
the tank over 50% full.
28)
REFUELLING CAPACITY
To ensure that you fill the tank
completely, top up twice after the first
click of the fuel supply gun. Further
top-ups could cause faults in the fuel
feeding system.
FUEL TANK CAP
Opening
1) Open the flap A fig. 136 by pulling it
outwards, keep the cap B still, insert
the ignition key in the lock and turn
it anticlockwise.
2) Turn the cap anticlockwise and
remove it. The cap has a device C that
attaches it to the flap so it cannot be
lost. When refilling, attach the plug
to the flap, as shown.

the hazard warning lights turn on
automatically together with theand
warning lights on the instrument
panel.
The function switches off automatically
when the nature of the braking
changes.
REPLACING A BULB
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.
116) 117)
31) 32)
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.
