The results of research on the best
child restraint systems are contained
in the European Standard ECE-R44.
This Standard enforces the use of re-
straint systems classified in five groups:
Group 0 0-10 kg in weight
Group 0+ 0-13 kg in weight
Group 1 weight 9-18 kg
Group 2 15-25 kg in weight
Group 3 22-36 kg in weight
The groups partially overlap. This is
because there are systems which cov-
er more than one weight group.
All restraint devices must bear the
certification data, together with the
control brand, on a solidly fixed label
which must absolutely never be re-
moved.
Over 1.50 m in height, from the
point of view of restraint systems, chil-
dren are considered as adults and
wear the seat belts normally.
Lineaccessori Fiat offers seats for
each weight group, which are the rec-
ommended choice, as they have been
designed and experimented specifical-
ly for Fiat vehicles.GROUP 0 and 0+
Babies up to 13 kg must be carried
facing backwards on a cradle seat,
which, supporting the head, does not
induce stress on the neck in the event
of sharp deceleration.
The cradle is restrained by the vehi-
cle seat belts, as shown infig. 14and
in turn it must restrain the child with
its own belts.The figure is only an ex-
ample for mounting. At-
tain to the instructions
for fastening which must be en-
closed with the specific child re-
straining system you are using.
GROUP 1
Children from 9 to 18 kg are to be
seated facing forward in child seats
with front cushionfig. 15. The vehi-
cle seat belt secures both seat and
child.

79GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
When using the boot,
make sure the load you
are carrying does not ex-
ceed the permitted weight (see
“Technical specifications”). Also
ensure the items in the boot are
arranged properly to prevent
them being thrown forwards and
injuring passengers should you
brake sharply. Do not travel with
the tailgate open: exhaust gas
could filter into the passenger
compartment.
If you are travelling in
areas where refuelling
can be difficult and you
want to carry a can of petrol, fol-
low the law in force. Use a ho-
mologated can and secure it ad-
equately. Even given these pre-
cautions, the risk of fire in the
event of an accident is increased.
Do not use the key as a
handle to open the tail-
gate. You could damage
it.
The opening of the boot is made eas-
ier by the gas-filed struts on each side.
IMPORTANTFit the key well into
the lock before turning it.
You will be able to open the tailgate
with the key only if you remove the
key from the lock after turning it by 45
degrees.
To close, lower the tailgate until the
lock clicks.
CENTRAL DOOR LOCKING
SYSTEM
From the outside
With the doors closed, fit and turn
the key in one of the front door locks.IMPORTANTAdjust the height of
the dipped headlight beam when trav-
elling at night with a rather heavy load
in the boot (see “Headlights” in this
chapter).
Make sure the load does not exceed
the values shown in “Weights” para-
graph, “Technical specifications” chap-
ter for correct operation of the head-
light adjustment device.
Do not knock the tail-
gate into objects on the
roof rack when you open
it.

To extend the boot, proceed as fol-
lows:
– remove head restraints;
– release the right locking lever B-
fig. 127moving it to 1(“released
lever”); do the same on the left side
then lower the seat back and tip the
seat forward. This operation is made
friendly by two springs. Make sure the
seat is completely tipped.
– refit head restraints back into the
seats C-fig. 128.

4)Lift part B-fig. 126making the
shelf slide along the available space be-
hind the seat so that the upper part is
fastened to the rear window shelf and
the lower central part to the seat.
If the seat is down, proceed as fol-
lows:
5)Remove the shelf and arrange it
crosswise between the front seat
backs and the tipped seat on the rear
seat.
To refit the shelf, refit central catch-
es D-fig. 124and tip first part Band
then part A, make sure shelves are
properly secured.IMPORTANTCheck and adjust
the height of the dipped headlight
beam when travelling at night with a
rather heavy load in the boot (see
“Headlights” in this section).
To take the seat back to normal po-
sition:
1)Check that the seat belt webbing
is correctly fitted in its bracket.
2)Take the cushion to its horizontal
position and check that it is correctly
fastened.
3)Tip the seat back backwards and
check that it is correctly fastened.

Always check that seats
are anchored to the floor
before securing the seat
backs. It is absolutely forbidden
to use the third row seat
for transporting loads
when the seat back is tilted. Load
could be projected forward
against the seat back of the sec-
ond row seats thus causing in-
juries to passengers fig. 127a.To re-position the seat:
– seat back anchoring levers, both
right and left B-fig. 127must be at 1
(released); otherwise move both
levers to position 1;
– raise first the seat back (without se-
curing it) then secure the entire seat
to the floor anchorings and then se-
cure the seat back.To remove the seat in order to in-
crease the boot space, tilt the seat and
remove the tool bag (keep it on the
vehicle) then use lever D-fig. 128to
release catches.
Reverse the above operations for re-
fitting.
To increase the boot space you can
also tilt the second rear row as fol-
lows:
– tilt side seats (as described in para-
graph “access to the third row rear
seats”);

– tilt the central seat back pulling
band A-fig. 129upwards;
– pull the bands B-fig. 130and tilt
the seat completely;
– secure tilted seats by the proper
belts C-fig. 131(one per seat) to the
front headrests.
IMPORTANTDo not travel with
second row seats tipped and third row
seats set in normal position of use, a
buzzer will sound to indicate the
wrong seat position.ANCHORING THE LOAD
A boot mat is provided (optional for
Fiat Doblò Cargo base versions). To
fasten the load, fastening hooks are
provided (quantity varying according
to versions) fig. 132secured to the
floor and that can be accessed direct-
ly also if the mat is fitted.

To re-position the seats, release the
belts C-fig. 131, tilt the side seats and
the central seat cushion then pull band
A-fig. 129to tilt the seat back and an-
chor it to the proper brackets.
It is absolutely forbidden
to travel with the second
row seats tipped and pas-
sengers seated on the third row
seats (as specified on the seat la-
bel).
