2015 FIAT DOBLO COMBI belt

Below is a summary of
the main safety rules
to be followed when
carrying children:
❒install the child restraint systems on
the rear seat, which is the most
protected position in the event of an
accident;
❒if you need to deactivate the
passenger airbag, always check that
the
warning light above the front
courtesy light is on constantly to
make sure that it has actually been
deactivated;
❒carefully follow the instructions that
came with the child restraint system,
which the manufacturer must supply
by law. Keep the instructions in the
vehicle along with the other papers
and this handbook. Do not install
second-hand child restraint systems
without instructions.
❒always check that the seat belt is well
fastened by pulling on it;
❒only one child is to be strapped into
each restraint system; never carry
two children using one child restraint
system;
❒always check that seat belts do not
rest on the child’s neck;
❒while travelling, do not let the child sit
incorrectly or release the belts;❒never carry children on your lap, even
newborns. No-one can hold a child in
the event of an accident.
❒in the event of an accident, replace
the child restraint system with a
new one.
73)
WARNING
72) Fit the child restraint system only
when the vehicle is stationary.
The child restraint system is
correctly fixed to the brackets
when you hear the click. Follow
the instructions for assembly,
disassembly and positioning that
the Manufacturer must supply
with the child restraint system.
73) When an active passenger
airbag is fitted, DO NOT install
rearward facing child restraint
systems on the front seat. Always
deactivate the passenger airbag
when a rearward facing child
restraint system is installed on the
front passenger seat.
FRONT AIRBAGS
The vehicle is fitted with front airbag
for the driver and, for versions/
markets where provided, front
airbag for the passenger.
FRONT AIRBAGS
The front driver/passenger airbags
(for versions/markets where
provided) have been designed to
protect the front-seat occupants in
the event of head-on crashes of
medium-high severity, by placing the
bag between the occupant and the
steering wheel or dashboard.
Non-activation in other types of
crash (side-on collisions, rear
shunts, roll-overs, etc.) is therefore
not a sign of system malfunction.
An electronic control unit will make
the bag inflate in the event of a
frontal impact.
The bag will inflate instantaneously
placing itself between the front
occupants' body and the structures
which could cause injury. It will
deflate immediately afterwards.
127

Front driver/passenger airbags (for
versions/markets where provided)
are not a replacement for, but rather
a complement to, the seat belts,
which should be worn at all times as
specified by law in Europe and
most non-European countries.
In the event of an impact, those not
wearing a seat belt are projected
forwards, and may come into
contact with the bag which is still
inflating. The protection offered
by the cushion is compromised in
such a case.
Front airbags may not activate in the
following situations:
❒frontal impacts against highly
deformable objects not involving the
front surface of the vehicle (e.g.
wing collision against guard rail, etc.);
❒vehicle wedging under other vehicles
or protective barriers (e.g. trucks or
guard rails);
they may not provide any additional
protection compared with seat belts,
so their activation would not be
appropriate. In these cases,
non-deployment does not indicate a
system malfunction.
74)
The driver's and passenger's front
airbags have been designed and
calibrated to protect front seat
occupants wearing seat belts.
At their maximum inflation, their
volume fills most of the space
between the steering wheel and the
driver and between the dashboard
and the passenger.
The airbags are not deployed in the
event of minor front collisions (for
which the restraining action of
the seat belts is sufficient). It
is therefore always necessary to
wear seat belts.
DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT
AIRBAG
This consists of an instantly inflating
cushion contained in a special
compartment in the centre of the
steering wheel fig. 133.PASSENGER SIDE
FRONT AIRBAG
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
This consists of an instantly inflating
bag contained in a special recess
in the dashboard: this bag has
a larger volume than that of the
driver's.fig. 134

SAFETY

SIDE BAGS
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
On some versions, the vehicle may
be fitted with driver and passenger
front side airbags for head and torso
protection.
Side bags protect occupants from
side-on crashes of medium/high
severity by placing the bag between
the occupant and the internal parts
of the side structure of the vehicle.
Non-activation of side bags in other
types of collisions (front collisions,
rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) does
not indicate a system malfunction.
An electronic control unit causes the
bags to inflate in the event of a
side impact. The bags inflate
instantaneously placing themselves
between the occupants' bodies
and the structures which could
cause injury. They deflate
immediately afterwards.
Side bags are not a replacement of,
but rather a complement to, seat
belts, which you are recommended
to wear at all times, as specified
by law in Europe and most
non-European countries.For this reason, the seat belt must
be worn at all times. In the case
of side-on collisions, the seat belts
hold occupants in the correct
position in relation to the airbag and
prevent them from being thrown
out of the vehicle by a very violent
collision.
SIDE BAGS
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
It consists of an instantly inflating
bag housed in the front seat
backrest fig. 137. It protects the
pelvis, chest and shoulder area of
the passengers in the event of side
crashes of medium-high severity.
IMPORTANT In the event of side
impact, you can obtain the best
protection from the system by
maintaining a correct position on the
seat, thereby allowing the side bag
to deploy correctly.
IMPORTANT Do not wash the seats
with water or pressurised steam
(by hand or at automatic seat
washing stations).

❒during the first period of use, to
initialise the system.
In the above cases, the warning light
flashes fig. 103 and, where
available, there is a message in the
display.
RESTARTING
CONDITIONS
For reasons of comfort, limiting
harmful emissions and safety
purposes, the power unit can restart
automatically without any action by
the driver if certain conditions are
met, including:
❒battery not sufficiently charged;
❒reduced braking system vacuum
(e.g. if the brake pedal is pressed
repeatedly);
❒vehicle in motion (e.g. when driving
on roads with a gradient);
❒stopping the engine through the
Start&Stop system for more than
about three minutes.❒automatic climate control system for
adjusting the thermal comfort level or
to enable MAX-DEF function.

SAFETY FUNCTIONS
In engine cut-out conditions through
the Start&Stop system, if the driver
unfastens his/her seat belt and
opens the driver's door or the
passenger door, the engine can be
restarted only by using the key.
The driver is notified of this condition
by a buzzer, through the fig. 140
warning light flashing in the
instrument panel and, where
provided, by a message in the
display.
"ENERGY SAVING"
FUNCTION
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
If, after the engine has been
automatically restarted, the driver
does not take any action for a
period of about 3 minutes,
the Start&Stop system will
definitively stop the engine to avoid
fuel consumption.
The engine can only be started
using the key in such cases. N.B.: In
any case, it is possible to keep the
engine running by deactivating
the Start&Stop system.IRREGULAR
OPERATION
In the case of malfunctions the
Start&Stop system is disabled.
The driver is informed of the
problem by the general failure
warning light A fig. 142, where
provided, coming on with an
information message and the
system failure symbol B fig. 142 in
the control panel. In this case,
contact a Fiat Dealership.VEHICLE INACTIVITY
Versions with dummy
pole fig. 143
If the vehicle is inactive, special care
must be taken to disconnect the
battery electrical power supply. This
procedure must be carried out by
disconnecting the rapid-release
negative terminal A from the
negative dummy pole B because
there is a battery status monitoring
sensor D on the negative battery
terminal C which must never be
disconnected, except if the battery
is replaced.
