2015 FIAT DOBLO COMBI pretensioner

Warning lights on
panelWhat it means What to do
redINCOMPLETE DOOR LOCKING
On certain versions, the warning light turns on when one or more doors
or the boot are not properly closed.
A buzzer will sound when doors/tailgate are open and the vehicle is
moving.
WARNING
48) If thewarning light does not switch on when the key is turned to MAR or if it stays on when driving (together with
the message on the display), there may be a fault in the restraint systems; in this case, the airbags or pretensioners
may not deploy in the event of an accident or, in a lower number of cases, they could deploy erroneously. Before
continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership to have the system checked immediately.
49) Failure of the
warning light is indicated by thewarning light coming on. In this case, thewarning light may
not indicate a fault in the restraint systems. Before continuing, contact a Fiat Dealership to have the system checked
immediately.
50) Deteriorated engine oil must be replaced as soon as possible after the
warning light comes on, and never more
than 500 km after it first switches on. Failure to observe the above indications may result in severe damage to the
engine and invalidate the warranty. Remember that when this warning light comes on, it does not mean that the level
of engine oil is low, so if it flashes you do not need to top up the engine oil.
51) If the
warning light flashes when driving, contact a Fiat Dealership.

SBR SYSTEM
This system consists of a device
which, through the
warning light
coming on the instrument panel
and, depending on vehicle
conditions, an acoustic signal,
warns the driver and front
passenger if their seat belts have
not been fastened (for versions
where provided).
If the driver side and/or the
passenger side seat belts are not
fastened (with passenger seated),
when 20 km/h is exceeded or when
travelling at a speed between 10
and 20 km/h for longer than 5
seconds, an acoustic signal
sequence will be started (continuous
acoustic signal for the first 6
seconds followed by about 90
seconds of intermittent beeping and
the
warning light will flash).
At the end of the cycle the
warning light will stay on fixed
until the engine is switched off or the
seat belts are fastened.
For permanent deactivation, contact
a Fiat Dealership.The SBR system can also be
reactivated through the setup menu.
PRETENSIONERS
To increase the protective efficiency
of the front seat belts, the vehicle
is fitted with pretensioners. These
devices, in the event of a violent
head-on crash or side impact,
rewind the seat belts a few
centimetres. In this way, they ensure
that the belts fit tightly to the wearer
before the restraining action begins.
The seat belt retractor locks to
indicate that the pretensioner has
cut in; the seat belt cannot be
drawn back up even when guided
manually.
IMPORTANT To obtain the highest
degree of protection from the action
of the pretensioner, wear the seat
belt keeping it tight to the chest and
pelvis.
A slight discharge of smoke may be
produced during the activation of
the pretensioner which is not
harmful and does not indicate any
fire hazard.
117

The pretensioner does not require
any maintenance or lubrication.
Anything that modifies its original
conditions invalidates its efficiency.
If, due to unusual natural events
(floods, sea storms, etc.), the device
has been affected by water and
mud, it must absolutely be replaced.

16)
LOAD LIMITERS
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
To increase passenger safety, the
front and rear seat belt retractors
(for versions/markets where
provided) contain a load limiter
which controls the force acting on
the chest and shoulders during
the belt restraining action in the
event of a frontal collision.GENERAL WARNINGS
FOR USING THE SEAT
BELTS
The driver is responsible for
respecting (and ensuring that all the
other passengers also respect)
the local laws in force regarding the
use of seat belts. Always fasten
the seat belts before setting off.
Seat belts must also be worn by
pregnant mothers: the risk of injury
in the event of an accident is greatly
reduced for them and the unborn
child if they are wearing a seat belt.
Pregnant women must position
the lower part of the belt very low
down so that it passes over the
pelvis and under the abdomen (see
fig. 123 ).IMPORTANT The belt must not be
twisted. The upper part must pass
over the shoulder and cross the
chest diagonally. The lower part
must adhere to the pelvis (as shown
in fig. 124) rather than the abdomen
of the passenger. Never use devices
(clips, clamps, etc.) that hold the
seat belt away from your body.
67)
Removing or tampering with seat
belt and pretensioner components is
strictly prohibited. Any intervention
on these components must be
performed by qualified and
authorised technicians. Always go to
a Fiat Dealership.

SAFETY

IMPORTANT Each seat belt must be
used by only one person. Never
travel with a child sitting on the
passenger's lap and a single belt to
protect them both fig. 125. In
general, do not place any objects
between the person and the belt.
68)
MAINTENANCE OF THE
SEAT BELTS
For keeping the seat belts in efficient
conditions, carefully observe the
following warnings:
❒always use the seat belt well
stretched and never twisted; make
sure that it is free to run without
obstructions;❒replace the belt after an accident of a
certain severity even if it does not
appear to be damaged. Always
replace the belt if the pretensioners
were deployed;
❒to clean the belt, wash by hand with
water and neutral soap, rinse and
leave to dry in the shade. Never use
strong detergents, bleach, paints
or any other chemical substance
which could damage the belt fibres;
❒prevent the retractors from getting
wet: their correct operation is only
guaranteed if water does not get
inside;
❒replace the seat belt when it shows
wear or cuts.
WARNING
66) The pretensioner may be used
only once. After it is triggered,
have it replaced at a Fiat
Dealership.
67) For maximum protection, keep
the backrest upright, lean back
into it and make sure the seat belt
fits closely across your chest
and pelvis. Always fasten the seat
belts on both the front and the
rear seats! Travelling without
wearing seat belts will increase
the risk of serious injury and even
death in the event of an accident.
68) If the belt has been subjected to
a high level of stress, for example
after an accident, it must be
completely replaced together with
the attachments, attachment
fixing screws and the
pretensioner. In fact, even if the
belt has no visible defects, it could
have lost its resilience.

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

SAFETY

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.

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.
