ADJUSTING THE FRONT
SEAT BELT HEIGHT

F0A0008b
Always adjust the height of the seat
belt to fit the person wearing it. This
could greatly reduce the risk of injury
in the case of collision.
The belt is adjusted properly when
the webbing passes approximately
halfway between the edge of the
shoulder and the neck. Four height ad-
justments are possible.After you have made the
adjustment, always make
sure that the loop is at-
tached firmly in one of the fixed
positions and cannot move. To
do this, with the button released,
exert a further pressure to allow
the anchoring device to catch if
release did not take place at one
of the preset positions.
Make the height adjust-
ment when the vehicle is
stationary.
PRETENSIONERS
The Fiat Doblò (with passenger's air
bag ) is fitted with pretensioners on
the front side seats to improve the
protection provided by the seat belts.
These devices “feel”, that a violent col-
lision is in progress via a sensor and
pull back a few inches of webbing. In
this way the pretensioner ensures that
the belt is adhering perfectly to the
body before the belt begins to hold
back the wearer.
The seat belt locks to indicate that
the device has intervened; the seat belt
cannot be drawn back up even when
guiding it manually.
IMPORTANTThe pretensioner
will give maximum protection when
the seat belt adheres snugly to the
wearer’s chest and hips. To raise the belt:raise loop A-fig.
8to the required position.
To lower the belt: press knob B,
and at the same time move loop Ato
the required position.
Check that the seat belt is locked in
position by pushing down on loop A
without pressing knob B.

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.
