ADJUSTING THE
HEADLIGHTS ABROAD
The dipped beam headlights are
aligned for operation in the country
where the vehicle was originally
purchased. In countries where
vehicles are driven on the other side
of the road, the beams are aligned
by applying a specially designed
adhesive film in order not to dazzle
the vehicles travelling in the opposite
direction.
Such film is provided by
Lineaccessori Fiat and is available at
Fiat Dealerships.
RADIO
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
For the operation of the radio with
CD/MP3 player (for versions/
markets where provided), read the
Supplement attached to this

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.
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
NOTE The vehicle may be equipped
with FiX&Go Automatic tyre repair
kit, space-saver wheel or full size
spare wheel (with or without original
TPMS sensor to measure tyre
pressure).
After the punctured tyre has been
repaired with the original tyre sealant
contained in the FiX&Go Automatic
tyre repair kit, the previous condition
must be restored, so that the
warning light is off during normal
driving.
Space-saver wheel (for versions/
markets, where provided): the
space-saver wheel is not equipped
with a TPMS sensor. Once fitted,
while driving normally, the warning
light comes on (flashing for about 75
seconds, and then constantly).
This condition lasts until a wheel
equipped with an original TPMS
sensor is fitted on the vehicle.Normal spare wheel (without TPMS
sensor): once fitted, while driving
normally, the
warning light comes
on (flashing for about 75 seconds,
and then constantly). This condition
lasts until a wheel equipped with
an original TPMS sensor is fitted on
the vehicle. The system is then
restored and the
warning light
switches off.
Normal spare wheel (with TPMS
sensor): once fitted, while driving
normally, the
warning light
switches off.
IMPORTANT In all the above-
mentioned cases, it is advisable to
check the spare wheel tyre pressure
before starting driving.
NOTE If the tyres are replaced,
driving the vehicle for short
stretches, some time might be
needed before the system is
restored.IMPORTANT
WARNING
86) The TPMS is optimised for the
original tyres and wheels
provided. TPMS pressures and
alerts have been defined
according to the size of the tyres
mounted on the vehicle. Using
equipment with different size,
type or kind may cause irregular
system operation or sensor
damage. Non-original spare
wheels can damage the sensor.
Do not use tyre sealant or
balancing weights if the vehicle is
equipped with TPMS as these
may damage the sensors.
87) If the system signals a pressure
decrease on a specific tyre, it is
recommended to check the
pressure on all four tyres.
88) TPMS does not relieve the driver
from the obligation to check the
tyre pressure every month; it is
not to be considered a replacing
system for maintenance or a
safety system.
