2018 FIAT DOBLO COMBI snow chains

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

Wing door versions fig. 202
Proceed as follows:
press the retaining tag A and pull the
brush out making it slide in the
direction indicated by the arrow.
Swing door versions fig. 203
Proceed as follows:
press the retainer reversely operating
as shown, then remove the blade.
WARNING
141)Driving with worn windscreen wiper
blades is a serious hazard, because
visibility is reduced in bad weather
conditions.
WHEELS AND TYRES
For the type of wheel rims and tyres
fitted on the vehicle see the "Wheels"
paragraph in the "Technical data"
chapter.
SNOW CHAINS
The use of snow chains should be in
compliance with local regulations.
Snow chains can be fitted to the tyres
of the front wheels (drive wheels) only.
Check the tension of the snow chains
after the first few metres have been
driven.
IMPORTANT NOTES
As far as possible, avoid sharp
braking, screech starts and violent
shocks against pavements, potholes or
other hard obstacles. Driving for long
stretches over uneven roads can
damage the tyres;
periodically check that the tyres
have no cuts in the side wall, abnormal
swelling or irregular tyre tread wear.
Go to a Fiat Dealership if required;
avoid overloading the car when
travelling: this may cause serious
damage to the wheels and tyres;

SERVICING AND CARE
Replacing the rear window wiper
blade fig. 202fig. 203
(for versions/markets, where provided)

if a tyre is punctured, stop
immediately and replace it to avoid
damage to the tyre, the rim, suspension
and steering system;
tyres age even if they are not used
much. Cracks in the tread and on
the sidewalls are a sign of ageing. In
any event, have the tyres checked
by specialised technicians if they have
been fitted for longer than 6 years.
Remember to check the spare wheel
very carefully;
in the case of replacement, always
fit new tyres, avoiding those of
unknown origin;
if a tyre is changed, also change the
inflation valve;
to allow even wear between the
front and rear tyres, it is advisable to
change them over every 10–15
thousand kilometres, keeping them on
the same side of the vehicle so as
not to reverse the direction of rotation.

WARNING
142)Remember that the road holding
qualities of your vehicle also depend on the
correct inflation pressure of the tyres.
143)If tyre pressure is too low, the tyre
may overheat and be severely damaged as
a result.
144)Do not switch tyres from the
right­hand side of the vehicle to the
left­hand side, and vice versa.
145)Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the use of
temperatures exceeding 150°C. The
mechanical properties of the wheels could
be impaired.
146)Keep the vehicle's speed down when
snow chains are fitted; never exceed 50
km/h. Avoid potholes, do not drive over
steps or pavements, and do not drive long
distances over roads without snow, to
avoid damaging both your vehicle and the
road surface.

Some automatic systems equipped with old generation blades and/or with a poor maintenance can damage the paint, promoting the
creation of microscoring which give an opaque/coated appearance to the paint, especially on dark colours. In this case, just lightly polish with
specific products.
RADIO
To connect to the existing wiring in the vehicle, contact a Fiat Dealership to prevent any problems that could impair vehicle safety.
EOBD SYSTEM
If, when the ignition key is turned to MAR, thewarning light does not switch on, switches on constantly or flashes when driving (on
certain versions together with the message on the display), contact a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible. The operation of thewarning
light may be checked by the traffic police using specific devices. Comply with the laws and regulations of the country where you are driving.
SNOW CHAINS
Keep the vehicle's speed down when snow chains are fitted; never exceed 50 km/h. Avoid potholes, do not drive over steps or
pavements, and do not drive long distances over roads without snow, to avoid damaging both your vehicle and the road surface.
DIESEL FILTER
The presence of water in the supply circuit may cause severe damage to the injection system and irregular engine operation. If thewarning light comes on, go to a Fiat Dealership as soon as possible to have the system bled. If the above indication occurs immediately
after refuelling, water may have entered the tank: turn the engine off immediately and contact a Fiat Dealership.
BATTERY
Incorrect installation of electric and electronic devices may cause severe damage to your vehicle. After purchasing your vehicle, if you wish
to install any accessories (anti-theft, radio phone, etc.), go to a Fiat Dealership, which will suggest the most suitable devices and advise you
whether a higher capacity battery needs to be installed.
If the vehicle will be unused for an extended period of time in extremely cold weather conditions, remove the battery and store it in a
heated area to prevent it from freezing.
