User manual FIAT DOBLO

[. . . ] Dear Customer, Thank you for selecting Fiat and congratulations on your choice of a Fiat Doblò. We have written this handbook to help you get to know all your new Fiat Doblò features and use it in the best possible way. You should read it right through before taking the road for the first time. You will find information, tips and important warnings regarding the driving of your vehicle to help you derive the maximum from your Fiat Doblò's technological features. [. . . ] 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 fuel not adequate, you are recommended to add TUTELA DIESEL ART to the fuel, in the proportions written on the container. Pour the antifreeze into the fuel tank before the fuel. REFUELLING To guarantee full tank filling, carry out two refuelling operations after the first click of the fuel delivery gun. Avoid further topping up operations that could cause damages to the fuel system. FUEL FILLER CAP fig. 150 To open: 1) Turn the cap by approximately half a turn anticlockwise and remove it. IMPORTANT The hermetic closure may cause a slight pressure in the tank: a slight hissing when turning the cap is quite normal. 2) While you are filling up, place the cap on the fuel filler flap as illustrated in the figure. To close: The cap has a bayonet coupling. Insert the cap and turn it clockwise until it clicks once or more. Make sure that the lefthand sliding side door is completely closed before refuelling. You could damage the door and the sliding lock system which comes into play when the fuel flap is open. You cannot open the left-hand sliding side door while refuelling when the flap is open. fig. 150 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 103 F0A0219b On certain versions the cap has a mechanical lock to be opened using the door key. PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT Protecting the environment has been the guiding principle in the design of the Fiat Doblò right from the start. The result is the use of materials and creation of devices that can reduce or considerably curtail harmful influences on the environment. The devices for curtailing diesel engine emissions are: ­ an oxidising catalytic converter; ­ an exhaust gas recirculation system (E. G. R. ). ­ diesel particulate filter (DPF) ­ Lambda probes (where provided). Consequently, the Fiat Doblò is ready to travel well ahead of the most stringent international pollution control standards. Do not put naked flames or lighted cigarettes near the fuel filler hole as there is a danger of fire. Do not bend too close to the hole either so as not to breathe in harmful vapours. IMPORTANT If required, replace the fuel cap with another genuine cap to avoid affecting the efficiency of the fuel vapour recovery system. The devices for curtailing petrol engine emissions are the following: ­ a three-way catalytic converter; ­ Lambda sensors (oxygen sensors); ­ a fuel evaporation system. 104 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF) (for Multijet versions 1. 3 85 HP and 1. 9 120 HP) The Diesel Particulate Filter is a mechanical filter, integral with the exhaust system, that physically traps particulates present in the exhaust gases of Diesel engines. The diesel particular filter has been adopted to eliminate almost totally particulates in compliance with current / future law regulations. During normal use of the vehicle, the engine control unit records a set of data (e. g. : travel time, type of route, temperatures, etc. ) and it will then calculate how much particulates has been trapped by the filter. Since this filter physically traps particulates, it shall be cleaned (reclaimed) at regular intervals by burning carbon particles. Reclaiming procedure is controlled automatically by the engine control unit according to the filter conditions and the conditions of use of the vehicle. During reclaiming the following phenomena could take place: idling slight increase, fan activation, slight smoke increase, high exhaust temperatures. These situations shall not be considered as faults and they do not affect vehicle performance and environment.
