2007 FIAT DOBLO belt

17GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Seats exist which are
suitable for covering
weight groups 0 and 1
with a rear connection to the ve-
hicle belts and their own belts to
restrain the child. Due to their
size, they can be dangerous if in-
stalled incorrectly fastened to the
vehicle belts with a cushion.
Carefully follow the instructions
for installation provided with the
seat.GROUP 2
Children from 15 to 25 kg can be se-
cured directly with the vehicle seat
belts. The seat has the purpose of po-
sitioning the child correctly with re-
spect to the seat belt so that the di-
agonal section crosses the child’s chest
(never the child’s throat) and the hor-
izontal section fits snugly on the child’s
hips (and not the child’s abdomen) fig.
16.GROUP 3
For children from 22 kg up to 36 kg
the size of the child’s chest no longer
requires a support to space the child’s
back from the seat back.
Fig. 17shows proper child seat po-
sitioning on the rear seat.
Children taller than 1.50 m can wear
seat belts like adults.

specific child restraint system you
are using.

6) Always check the seat belts do
not fit around the child’s throat.
7) While travelling, do not let the
child sit incorrectly or release the
belts.
8)Passengers should never carry
children on their laps. No-one, how-
ever strong they are, can hold a child
in the event of a crash.
9)Replace the child restraint system
after an accident. To sum up the safety
precautions to follow when
transporting children.
1) The recommended position for
installing child’s seat is on the rear seat,
as it is the most protected in the case
of a crash.3) Attain to the instructions for fas-
tening the specific child restraint sys-
tem which you are using. These in-
structions must be provided by the
manufacturer. Keep the child restraint
system installation instructions with
the vehicle documents and with this
Handbook. Never use a child restraint
system without installation instruc-
tions.
4) Always check the seat belt is well
fastened by pulling the webbing.
5)Only one child is to be strapped
to each retaining system. In vehicles fitted with
passenger airbag, never
place child’s restraint sys-
tems on the front seat.
2) If the passenger’s airbag is deac-
tivated always check the warning light
Fon the instrument panel to make
sure that it has actually been deacti-
vated.

The side door knobs will lock or un-
lock only the specific door.
IMPORTANTIf one of the doors
is not shut properly or there is a fail-
ure in the system, the central locking
(where provided) feature will cut out
and after some attempts the device
stops working for about two minutes.
In these two minutes, the doors can
be locked or unlocked manually with-
out the electrical system coming into
play. After the two minutes, the con-
trol unit is ready to receive commands
once more.
If the cause of the failure is removed,
the device will start working proper-
ly, otherwise it will cut out once more.BOOT

bel).

91GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
The cushion immediately inflates,
placing itself as a protection between
the body of the front occupants and
the structure that could cause injuries.
Immediately after, the cushion deflates.
The front air bag (driver and pas-
senger) is not a replacement of but
complementary to the use of belts,
which should always be worn, as spec-
ified by law in Europe and most non-
European countries.
In case of crash, a person not wear-
ing the seat belt moves forward and
may come into contact with the cush-
ion while it is still inflating. Under this
circumstance the protection offered
by the airbag is reduced.
Front airbags may not activate in the
following situations:
– in collisions against highly de-
formable objects not affecting the ve-
hicle front surface (e.g. bumper colli-
sion against guard rail); If the xbrake fluid low
warning light comes on,
stop the vehicle immedi-
ately and contact the nearest Fi-
at Dealership. Fluid leaks from
the hydraulic system, in fact, can
compromise brake system oper-
ation, both traditional systems
and systems with ABS.FRONT AND SIDE
AIRBAGS
The vehicle can be fitted with front
air bags for the driver and passenger
and with side bags.
FRONT AIRBAGS
Front airbags (driver and passenger)
have been designed to protect the oc-
cupants in the event of head-on crash-
es of medium-high severity, by plac-
ing the cushion between the occupant
and the steering wheel or dashboard.
Front airbags are designed to protect
vehicle’s occupants in front crashes
and therefore non-activation in other
types of collisions (side collisions, rear
shunts, roll-overs, etc.) is not a system
malfunction.
In case of crash, an electronic con-
trol unit, when required, triggers the
inflation of the cushion according to
the severity of the collision. Warning light >alone,
with the engine running,
normally indicates a fault
in the ABS system only. In this
case, the braking system is still ef-
ficient, though without the anti-
locking device. Under these con-
ditions, performance of the EBD
system may be reduced. Also in
this case, you are advised to go
immediately to the nearest Fiat
Dealership, driving in such a way
to avoid sharp braking to have
the system checked.

92GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
– in case of wedging under other ve-
hicles or protective barriers (for ex-
ample under a truck or guard rail), the
air bag is not triggered as it offers no
additional protection compared with
the seat belts, consequently it would
be pointless.
Therefore, failure to come into ac-
tion in the above circumstance does
not mean that the system is not work-
ing properly.At their maximum inflation, their vol-
ume fills most of the space between
the steering wheel and the driver and
between the dashboard and the pas-
senger.
In minor crashes (for which the re-
straining action of the seat belts is suf-
ficient), the air bags are not deployed.
Also in this case it is of vital impor-
tance to wear the seat belts since in
case of front crash they guarantee
proper positioning of the occupant.DRIVER’S FRONT AIR BAG
fig. 140
It consists of an instant-inflating cush-
ion contained in a special recess in the
centre of the steering wheel.
PASSENGER’S FRONT AIR
BAG fig. 141
It consists of an instant-inflating cush-
ion contained in a special recess in the
dashboard; its volume is bigger than
the driver’s one.
Do not apply stickers or
other objects to the
steering wheel or to the
air bag cover on the passenger’s
side or on the side roof lining.
Never put objects on the dash-
board on passenger side since
they could interfere with proper
air bag inflation.
The driver and passenger front
airbags have been designed and cali-
brated to protect a person wearing
seat belts.
