OCCUPANT
PROTECTION
SYSTEMS
The most important safety
equipment of the vehicle comprises
the following protection systems:
❒seat belts;
❒SBR (Seat Belt Reminder) system;
❒head restraints;
❒child restraint systems;
❒front airbags and side bags.
Read the information given the
following pages with the utmost
care. It is of fundamental importance
that the protection systems are
used in the correct way to
guarantee the maximum possible
safety level for the driver and the
passengers.
SEAT BELTS
USING THE SEAT
BELTS
The seat belt should be worn
keeping the torso straight and
rested against the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the
tongue A fig. 119 and insert it into
the buckle B, until it clicks into
place.
If the seat belt jams during removal,
let it rewind for a short stretch,
then pull it out again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press
button C. Guide the seat belt with
your hand while it is rewinding,
to prevent it from twisting.
61) 62)
Through the retractor, the seat belt
automatically adapts to the body
of the occupant wearing it, allowing
freedom of movement.
The retractor may lock up when the
vehicle is parked on a steep slope:
this is perfectly normal. Furthermore,
the retractor mechanism locks the
belt if it is pulled sharply or in the
event of sudden braking, collisions
and high-speed bends.
All rear seats (for Doblò/Doblò
Combi versions) are fitted
with inertia seat belts with three
anchor points and a retractor.
The rear seat belts (for Doblò/Doblò
Combi versions) must be worn as
shown infig. 120 - fig. 121.

IMPORTANT
16) Operations which lead to knocks,
vibrations or localised heating
(over 100°C for a maximum of 6
hours) in the area around the
pretensioner may cause damage
or trigger it. This device is not
affected by vibrations caused by
irregularities of the road surface
or low obstacles such as kerbs,
etc. Contact a Fiat Dealership for
any assistance.
CARRYING
CHILDREN SAFELY
For optimal protection in the event
of an impact, all passengers must
be seated and wearing adequate
restraint systems.
This is even more important for
children.
This prescription is compulsory in all
EU countries according to EC
Directive 2003/20/EC.
Compared with an adult, a child's
head is larger and heavier in
proportion to their body and the
child's muscular and bone
structures are not fully developed.
Therefore, correct restraint systems
other than adult seat belts are
necessary to reduce as much as
possible the risk of injuries in the
event of an accident, braking or a
sudden manoeuvre.
Children must be seated safely and
comfortably.As far as the characteristics of the
child restraint systems used allow,
you are advised to keep children
in rearward facing child restraint
systems for as long as possible,
since this is the most protected
position in the event of an impact.
Several child restraint system types
are available; always choose the one
most suitable for the child.
When over 1.50 m in height, from
the point of view of restraint
systems, children are considered as
adults and wear seat belts normally.
In Europe child restraint systems
are classified, among other criteria,
into five weight groups:
Group Weight range
Group0 upto10kg
Group 0+ up to 13 kg
Group 1 9 - 18 kg
Group 2 15 - 25 kg
Group 3 22 - 36 kg
120
SAFETY

All restraint devices must bear the
certification data, together with
the control mark, on a label solidly
fixed to the child restraint system
which must never be removed.
Lineaccessori Fiat offers child
restraint systems for each weight
group. These devices are
recommended having been
specifically designed for Fiat
vehicles.
69)
GROUP 0 and 0+
Babies up to 13 kg must be carried
rearward facing on a cradle restraint
system, which, supporting the
head, does not induce stress on the
neck in the event of sharp
decelerations.
The cradle is restrained by the
vehicle's seat belts, as shown in fig.
126 and it must restrain the child
in turn with its own belts.GROUP 1
From 9 to 18 kg of weight, children
may be carried forward facing fig.
127.
70) 71)
GROUP 2
Children from 15 to 25 kg may use
the vehicle's seat belts directly
fig. 128. The child restraint system is
needed only to position the child
correctly with respect to the belts so
that the diagonal section crosses
the child's chest and never the
neck, and the lower part is snug on
the pelvis not the abdomen.
70)
GROUP 3
For children between 22 kg and 36
kg, there are boosters which allow
the seat belt to be worn correctly.
The fig. 129 shows the correct child
positioning on the rear seat.
Children over 1.50 m in height can
wear seat belts like adults.

SAFETY
PASSENGER SEAT COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATIONS ON UNIVERSAL
CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM USE
The Fiat Doblò (only for vehicles designed to carry people), (homologation M1) complies with the new European
Directive 2000/3/EC which governs the arrangement possibilities for child restraint systems on the seats of the
vehicle as shown in the following table:
Group Weight range Front passenger Rear passenger (1st row)Rear passenger
(2nd row)
Group 0, 0+ up to 13 kgUU X
Group 1 9 - 18 kgUU X
Group 2 15 - 25 kgUU X
Group 3 22 - 36 kgUU X
U= suitable for child restraint systems in the "Universal" category, according to European Regulation EEC-R44 for the specified "Groups".
X= seat not suitable for children in this weight category.

WARNING
69) SEVERE DANGER: When an active passenger airbag is fitted, DO NOT install child restraint systems to be fitted
rearward facing on the front seat. Deployment of the airbag in an accident could cause fatal injuries to the child
regardless of the severity of the impact. It is advisable to always carry children in a child restraint system on the rear
seat, which is the most protected position in the event of a collision. Should it be necessary to carry a child on the
passenger side front seat in a rearward facing child restraint system, the passenger side front airbag and side bag
(side bag – for versions/markets, where provided) must be deactivated through the Setup menu. Deactivation should
be verified by checking whether the warning light above the front courtesy light is switched on. The passenger seat
must also be positioned back as far as possible in order to avoid the child restraint system from coming into contact
with the dashboard.
70) The figures are indicative and for assembly purposes only. Fit the child restraint system according to the
instructions, which must be included.
71) Child restraint systems with Isofix attachment are available for a safe anchoring to the seat without using the
vehicle seat belts. Follow the assembly instructions carefully.

ISOFIX CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
SETUP
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
Only for vehicles designed to carry
people, (homologation M1),
provision has been made on some
versions to fit a Universal Isofix child
restraint system, a new European
standardised system for carrying
children safely.
Isofix systems can be fitted
alongside a traditional child restraint
system. An example of a child
restraint system is shown in fig. 130.
The Universal Isofix child restraint
system covers weight group 1.
Specific Isofix child restraint systems
cover the other weight groups.
These seats must be designed,
tested and type-approved
specifically for this vehicle (refer to
the list of vehicles attached to the
child restraint system).Due to its different anchoring
system, the child restraint system
must be attached to the dedicated
lower metal rings A fig. 131, located
between the backrest and rear
cushion. After removing the rear
parcel shelf (if present), secure the
upper belt (provided with the child
restraint system) to ring B fig. 132
(one on each side) located behind
the rear seat cushion.
NoteTo prevent possible scoring of
the table seat backrest, with folded
rear seat (for versions/markets,
where provided), anchorage ring
Isofix B fig. 132 (one on each side) is
covered with a cloth cap, to be
removed for correctly fastening the
child restraint system.

SAFETY

Remember that when using a
Universal Isofix child restraint
system, you can only use approved
child restraint system with the
marking ECE R44 (R44/03
or superior) “Universal Isofix”.
The Universal Isofix “Duo Plus” child
restraint system and the special
"G 0/1" one are available from
Lineaccessori Fiat.
For any further installation/usage
details, refer to the “Instruction
Manual” provided with the child
restraint system.
