ADJUSTING THE FRONT
SEAT BELT HEIGHT

fig. 8
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.
