2008 FIAT DUCATO belt

With front passenger’s air bag ac -
tive do not place cradle child’s seats
facing backwards on the front pas -
senger seat since the air bag acti -
vation could cause serious injuries,
even mortal regardless of the se -
riousness of the crash. You are ad -
vised to carry children always on
the rear seat, as this is the most
protected position in the case of a
crash.

PRESETTING FOR
MOUNTING THE
“UNIVERSAL ISOFIX”
CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEM
This vehicle is preset for mounting the
Universal Isofix child restraint system, a
new European standardised system for
carrying children safely.
Fig. 11shows a child restraint system by
way of example.
Due to its different anchoring system, the
Universal Isofix child’s seat shall be an-
chored to the proper lower metal rings
A-fig. 12, set between rear seat back
and cushion. The upper belt (provided
with the child’s seat) shall be then secured
to ring B-fig. 13located in the rear part
of the seat.
It is possible to mount at the same time
both the traditional restraint system and
the “Universal Isofix” one.
Remember that in case of Universal Isofix
child’s seat, you can only use all those
seats approved with the marking ECE
R44/03 “Universal Isofix”.At Lineaccessori Fiat is available the “Uni-
versal Isofix” “Duo Plus” child’s seat.
For any further installation/use detail, re-
fer to the “Instructions Manual” that must
be provided by the child restraint system
Manufacturer.

The driver / passenger front air bags are
not a replacement of but complementary
to the use of belts, which should always
be worn, as specified by law in Europe and
most non European countries.
At their maximum inflation, the front air
bags volume fills most of the space be-
tween driver and steering wheel and be-
tween dashboard and passenger.
In case of crash, a person not wearing the
seat belt moves forward and may come in-
to contact with the cushion while it is still
inflating. Under this circumstance the pro-
tection offered by the air bag is reduced.Front air bags may not be activated in the
following situations:
❒in collisions against highly deformable
objects not affecting the vehicle front
surface (e.g. bumper collision against
guard rail, heaps of gravel, etc.);
❒in case of wedging under other vehi-
cles or protective barriers (for exam-
ple under a truck or guard rail), the air
bag is not triggered as it offers no ad-
ditional protection compared with the
seat belts, consequently it would be
pointless. Therefore, failure to come
into action in the above circumstance
does not mean that the system is not
working properly.
fig. 16F0N0140mfig. 17F0N0133m
Do not apply stickers or other ob -
jects to the steering wheel or to the
air bag cover on the passenger’s
side or on the side roof lining. Nev -
er put objects (e.g. mobile phones)
on the dashboard on passenger side
since they could interfere with
proper air bag inflation and also
cause serious injury.
In minor crashes (for which the restraining
action of the seat belts is sufficient), the air
bags are not deployed. Also in this case it
is of vital importance to wear the seat belts
since in case of side crash they guarantee
proper positioning of the occupant and
prevent the occupants to be pitched out of
the vehicle in case of violent crashes.

Side bags (where provided)
protect vehicle occupants from
side crashes of medium-high severity, by
placing the cushion between the occu-
pant and the internal parts of the side
structure of the vehicle.
WARNING
Non-activation of side bags in
other types of collisions (front
collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc...)
is not a system malfunction.
In case of side crash, an electronic con-
trol unit, when required triggers the in-
flation of the cushion. The cushion im-
mediately inflates, placing itself as a pro-
WARNING
tection, between the occu-
pant’s body and the structure
that could cause injuries. Immediately af-
ter, the cushion deflates.
Side bags (where provided) are not a re-
placement of but complementary to the
belts, which you are recommended to
always wear, as specified by law in Eu-

countries.
