How To Warm Up The Engine Efter It Has Just Started; Emergency Start-Up - Fiat Doblo Owner's Handbook Manual

The warning light m
will flash (for approxi-
mately 60 seconds) at
start-up or during prolonged
cranking to signal a fault in the
glow plug heating system. You
can use the vehicle as usual if the
engine starts but you should con-
tact a Fiat Dealership as soon as
possible to have problem seen to.
If the engine does not start at the
first attempt, return the ignition key
to STOP before trying to start the
engine again.
If with key at MAR warning light ¢
(Y) stays on, turn the key to STOP
and then to MAR again; if the warn-
ing light stays on, try with the other
keys provided.
If you still cannot start the engine, get
in touch with Fiat Dealership.
IMPORTANT Never leave the ig-
nition key at MAR when the engine is
off.
HOW TO WARM UP THE
ENGINE AFTER IS HAS JUST
STARTED (petrol and diesel
versions)
– Begin to move forward slowly let-
ting the engine turn at medium revs.
Do not accelerate abruptly.
– Do not push the engine to its lim-
it for the first few kilometres. You are
recommended to wait until the
coolant temperature gauge starts
moving.

EMERGENCY START-UP

If the Fiat CODE system fails to
recognise that code transmitted by the
ignition key (instrument panel warning
light ¢ (Y) on) the emergency start-
up can be performed by using the
CODE card code.
See section "In an emergency".
Catalysed vehicles must
not be bump started
(pushed, towed or coast-
ed downhill) as this could cause
fuel to flow into the catalytic ex-
haust system and damage it be-
yond repair.
Remember that until
the engine has started the
brake booster and hy-
draulic power steering systems
will not work and a greater effort
will therefore be required to de-
press the brake pedal or turn the
steering wheel.
