KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
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.
123
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.

PASSENGER SIDE
FRONT AIRBAG AND
CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEMS
75)
To fit a child restraint system on the
passenger seat,ALWAYScomply
with the instructions on the label
stuck on both sides of the sun visor.
Manual deactivation
of passenger side
front airbag and side
bag for chest/head
protection
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
For Doblò versions designed to
carry people (M1 type-approval), if a
child must of necessity be carried
on the front seat, sitting on a
rearward facing child restraint
system, the passenger front airbag
and side bag for chest/head
protection (for versions/markets,
where provided) must be
deactivated, since, in the event of
impact, airbag activation may cause
fatal injuries to the child carried.IMPORTANT To manually deactivate
the passenger's front and side
airbags for head and torso
protection (for versions/markets
where provided), refer to "Digital
display" and “Multifunction display”
paragraph in the “Know your
vehicle” chapter.
The
warning light “ above the
front courtesy light fig. 135 signals
the status of passenger protection.
If the warning light is off, the
passenger side protection
is activated.
When the front passenger side
airbag and side bag (for
versions/markets where provided)
are activated again, the warning light
switches off.
When the vehicle is started (key in
MAR position), the warning light
turns on for approx. 8 seconds. If
not, contact a Fiat Dealership.
During the first 8 seconds,
the activation of the warning light
does not actually show the
passenger protection status, but
only checks its correct operation.135F0V0406
129
WARNING
74) Do not apply stickers or other objects to the steering wheel, the dashboard in the passenger side airbag area and
the seats. Never put objects (e.g. mobile phones) on the passenger side of the dashboard since they could interfere
with correct inflation of the passenger airbag and also cause serious injury to the passengers.
75) When an active passenger airbag is fitted, DO NOT install rearward facing child restraint systems 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. Therefore, always deactivate the passenger side airbag when a rearward facing child restraint system is
installed on the front passenger seat. The front passenger seat must also be positioned back as far as possible in
order to prevent the child restraint system from coming into contact with the dashboard. Immediately reactivate the
passenger airbag as soon as the child restraint system has been removed.
131
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
The front airbags and/or side bags
(where provided) may be deployed if
the vehicle is subject to heavy
knocks or accidents involving the
underbody area, such as for
example violent shocks against
steps, kerbs or low obstacles, or the
vehicle falling into big potholes or
depressions in the road.
A small amount of dust will be
released when the airbags
are deployed. The dust is not
harmful and does not indicate the
beginning of a fire. Furthermore, the
surface of the deployed bag and
the interior of the vehicle may be
covered in a dusty residue: this may
irritate your skin and eyes. Wash
with mild soap and water in the
event of exposure.
Should an accident occur in which
any of the safety devices are
activated, take the vehicle to a Fiat
Dealership to have the activated
devices replaced and to have the
whole system checked.Every control, repair and
replacement operation concerning
the airbags must be carried out only
at Fiat Dealerships.
If you are having the vehicle
scrapped, have the system
deactivated at a Fiat Dealership first.
If the vehicle changes ownership,
the new owner must be informed of
how to use the airbags and the
above warnings and also be given
this "Owner Handbook".
Pretensioners, front airbags and
front side bags are deployed
differently according to the type of
collision. Failure to deploy of one
of the devices does not necessarily
indicate a system malfunction.
76) 77)
WARNING
76) If thewarning light does not
turn on when the key is turned to
MAR, or if it stays on when
travelling (together with the
message on the display on some
versions), there could be a failure
in the restraint systems. If this
is the case, the airbags or
pretensioners may not trigger in
the event of an accident or, less
likely, they may trigger
accidentally. Before proceeding,
contact a Fiat Dealership
immediately to have the system
checked.
77) Do not travel carrying objects in
your lap, in front of your chest or
between your lips (pipe, pencils,
etc.): they could cause severe
injury if the airbag is deployed in
an accident.
