2018 FIAT DOBLO COMBI light

IMPORTANT NOTES
The front airbags and/or side bags
(where provided) may be deployed if
the vehicle is subject to heavy knocks
or accidents involving the underbody
area, such as for example violent
shocks against steps, kerbs or low
obstacles, or the vehicle falling into big
potholes or depressions in the road.
A small amount of dust will be released
when the airbags are deployed. The
dust is not harmful and does not
indicate the beginning of a fire.
Furthermore, the surface of the
deployed bag and the interior of the
vehicle may be covered in a dusty
residue: this may irritate your skin and
eyes. Wash with mild soap and water in
the event of exposure.
Should an accident occur in which any
of the safety devices are activated,
take the vehicle to a Fiat Dealership to
have the activated devices replaced
and to have the whole system checked.
Every control, repair and replacement
operation concerning the airbags must
be carried out only at Fiat Dealerships.If you are having the vehicle scrapped,
have the system deactivated at a Fiat
Dealership first. If the vehicle changes
ownership, the new owner must be
informed of how to use the airbags and
the above warnings and also be given
this "Owner Handbook".
Pretensioners, front airbags and front
side bags are deployed differently
according to the type of collision.
Failure to activate one or more of the
devices does not indicate a system
malfunction.

WARNING
83)If thewarning light does not turn on
when the key is turned to MAR, or if it
stays on when travelling (together with the
message on the display on some versions),
there could be a failure in the restraint
systems. If this is the case, the airbags or
pretensioners may not trigger in the event
of an accident or, less likely, they may
trigger accidentally. Contact a Fiat
Dealership immediately to have the system
checked.
84)Do not travel carrying objects in your
lap, in front of your chest or between your
lips (pipe, pencils, etc.): they could cause
severe injury if the airbag is deployed.
85)On cars with side bags, do not cover
the front seat backrests with extra covers.86)If the car has been stolen or in the case
of attempt to steal it, if it has been
subjected to vandalism or floods, have the
airbag system checked by a Fiat
Dealership.
87)If the ignition device is at MAR, even if
the engine is switched off, airbags may
be deployed when the car is stationary and
hit by another car. Therefore, even if the
vehicle is stationary, when an active front
passenger airbag is fitted, DO NOT install
rearward facing child restraint systems
on the front passenger seat. Deployment of
the airbag following an impact could cause
fatal injuries to the child. Therefore, always
deactivate the passenger side airbag
when a rearward facing child restraint
system is installed on the front passenger
seat. The front passenger seat must also
be positioned back as far as possible in
order to prevent the child restraint system
from coming into contact with the
dashboard. Immediately reactivate the
passenger airbag as soon as the child
restraint system has been removed. Also
remember that, if the ignition device is
set to STOP, none of the safety devices
(airbags or pretensioners) will be deployed
in the event of collision. Non-deployment
in such cases does not indicate a system
malfunction.
88)Do not affix rigid objects to the garment
hooks or support handles.
89)Do not rest your head, arms or elbows
on the door, windows or the area in which
the Window bag is located to avoid
possible injury during airbag inflation.
90)Never lean your head, arms or elbows
out of the window.

PROCEDURE FOR
PETROL VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
engage the handbrake;
put the gear lever into neutral;
fully depress the clutch pedal,
without touching the accelerator;
turn the ignition key to AVV and
release it as soon as the engine starts.
PROCEDURE FOR DIESEL
VERSIONS
Proceed as follows:
engage the handbrake;
put the gear lever into neutral;
turn the ignition key to MAR: the
warning lights
eon the
instrument panel will turn on;
wait for the warning lightsand
to turn off, which will happen faster
the warmer the engine is;
fully depress the clutch pedal,
without touching the accelerator;
turn the ignition key to the AVV
position as soon as the warning light
turns off. Waiting too long will waste
the heating work carried out by the
plugs.
Release the key as soon as the engine
starts.
20)
PROCEDURE FOR
NATURAL POWER
VERSIONS
The engine always starts up on petrol
independently of the previously
selected mode.
PROCEDURE FOR
VERSIONS WITH
DUALOGIC™
TRANSMISSION
The system allows the engine to be
started both with a gear engaged and
with the transmission in neutral (N).
Always press the brake pedal with the
gear engaged.
It is advisable to place the gear lever in
neutral (N) before starting the engine.IMPORTANT With cold engine, the
accelerator must be entirely released
when turning the ignition key to position
AVV. If the engine does not start at the
first attempt, return the ignition key
to STOP before repeating the starting
procedure. With the key in the MAR
position, if the warning light
on the
instrument panel remains on, it is
advisable to turn the key to the STOP
position and to MAR again; if the
warning light continues to remain on,
try again with the other keys provided. If
you still cannot start the engine,
contact a Fiat Dealership.
21)
WARMING UP THE
ENGINE JUST AFTER IT
HAS STARTED
Proceed as follows:
drive off slowly, letting the engine
turn at medium revs. Do not accelerate
abruptly;
do not demand full performance at
first. Wait until the engine coolant
temperature gauge starts moving.
104
STARTING AND DRIVING

EMERGENCY START-UP
If the instrument panel warning light
stays on steadily, you can perform
an emergency start by using the code
on the CODE card (see the “In an
emergency” section).
22)
SWITCHING OFF THE
ENGINE
Turn the ignition key to STOP while the
engine is idling.
IMPORTANT After a long drive, you
should allow the engine to “catch
its breath” before turning it off by letting
it idle to allow the temperature in the
engine compartment to fall.
WARNING
91)It is dangerous to run the engine in
enclosed areas. The engine consumes
oxygen and engine exhaust contains
carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and
other toxic gasses.
WARNING
18)It is advisable not to demand maximum
performance from your vehicle (e.g.
excessive accelerations, long distances at
top rpm, excessive intense braking, etc.)
as soon as the engine is started.19)When the engine is switched off never
leave the key turned to MAR-ON to prevent
useless current absorption from draining
the battery.
20)If the warning light
flashes for 60
seconds after starting or during an
extended towing period, this indicates an
anomaly in the glow plug pre­heating
system. Use the vehicle normally if the
engine starts, but contact a Fiat Dealership
as soon as possible.
21)If the engine fails to start with a gear
engaged, the potentially dangerous
situation due to the fact that the gearbox is
automatically placed in neutral will be
signalled by a buzzer.
22)Never bump start the engine by
pushing, towing or coasting downhill. This
could cause fuel to flow into the catalytic
converter and damage it beyond repair.
PARKING THE
VEHICLE
HANDBRAKE
The handbrake lever fig. 122 is located
between the two front seats.

WARNING
95)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.
WARNING
23)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.
COMFORT-MATIC/
DUALOGIC
TRANSMISSION
The vehicle is equipped with an
electronically controlled mechanical
transmission ((Comfort-Matic or
Dualogic) which has two operating
modes:MANUALandAUTO.
The transmission consists of a
traditional manual transmission with a
lever fig. 124, to which an electronically
controlled electro-hydraulic device
has been added to automatically
control the clutch and gear the
engagement.

uphill); the clutch could be damaged by
overheating. Use the brake pedal instead
and operate the accelerator only when you
are ready to set off.
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
Stopping the engine
WITH MANUAL GEARBOX
With the vehicle stationary, the engine
stops with the gearbox in neutral and
the clutch pedal released.
WITH ROBOTISED 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 a fig. 128 symbol on the display,
depending on the trim level.
With the device activated, for reasons
of comfort, limiting emissions and
safety, the engine does not stop in
certain conditions.
Restarting the engine
WITH MANUAL GEARBOX
Depress the clutch pedal to restart the
engine.
128F0V0040
109

WITH ROBOTISED 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.
For reasons of comfort, limiting
pollutant emissions and safety
purposes, the power unit can restart
automatically without any action on
behalf of the driver.
MANUAL ACTIVATION
AND DEACTIVATION
The system can be activated/
deactivated using the button A fig. 129
on the control panel.
When the function is not active, the
button LED is on. In addition, on some
versions, additional information
concerning the deactivation or
activation of the Start&Stop system is
given through a message on the
display.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 instrument panel
warning light fig. 128 flashing and,
where provided, by a message in the
display.
VEHICLE INACTIVITY
Versions with dummy pole fig. 130
If the vehicle is inactive, special care
must be taken to disconnect the
battery electrical power supply. This
procedure is carried out by
disconnecting the rapid release
negative terminal A from the negative
false pole B because there is a battery
status monitoring sensor D at the
negative battery pole C which should
never be disconnected except when
the actual battery is replaced.
Versions without dummy pole fig.
131
In case of car inactivity, special
attention must be paid due 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
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.

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.
