KNOWING YOUR CAR
SECURING YOUR LOAD
To make it easier to secure your load,
there are hooks (in various quantities
depending on the trim) fixed to the floor
fig. 91 - fig. 92.
WARNING
35)If you are travelling in areas with few
filling stations and you want to transport
fuel in a spare tank, comply with the law by
using only an approved, suitably secured
tank. However, the risks of fire in the case
of collision increase anyway.
36)Never exceed the maximum allowed
load in the boot, see the “Technical
specifications” chapter. Also make sure
that the objects you place in the boot have
been properly secured, to avoid them
from being thrown forward consequent to
sudden braking and injuring your
passengers.
37)If you are travelling in areas with few
filling stations and you want to transport
fuel in a spare tank, comply with the law by
using only an approved, suitably secured
tank. Anyway, by doing so, you increase
the risk of fire in the event of an accident
with your vehicle.
38)Never exceed the maximum allowed
load in the boot (see the "Technical
specifications" chapter). Also make sure
that the objects you place in the boot have
been properly secured, to avoid them
from being thrown forward consequent to
sudden braking and injuring your
passengers.
39)You must not use the folded rear seat
to carry luggage. The load could be thrown
forward into the backrest of the front
seats, seriously injuring the occupants.40)Make sure that the objects are
positioned carefully and fixed to the hooks
on the floor to prevent them being flung
forwards in the event of sharp braking and
causing injury to the passengers.
WARNING
7)To close the tailgate use handle B fig.
81. Do not try to close the tailgate by
pressing on the side shock absorbers C
fig. 81. Also be careful not to knock the
side shock absorbers when you load the
boot, to avoid damaging them.

HEADLIGHTS
LIGHT BEAM ALIGNMENT
The correct alignment of the headlights
is essential for the comfort and safety
of the driver and other road users.
To ensure the best visibility when
travelling with the headlights on, the
headlight alignment must be correct.
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have
the headlights checked and adjusted.
HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT
CORRECTOR
This device works with the ignition key
in the MAR position and the dipped
beam headlights on.
The vehicle tilts backwards when it is
laden, raising the beam. The beams
must therefore be realigned in this case.
Headlight alignment
adjustment
Press the
andfig. 110 buttons
on the control panel to adjust.
The display located on the instrument
panel provides a visual indication of the
adjustment position.
Position 0 - one or two people in the
front seats.
Position 1 - five people.
Position 2 - five people + load in the
luggage compartment.Position 3 - driver + maximum
permitted load stowed in the luggage
compartment.
IMPORTANT Check the light beam
alignment every time the load
transported changes.
FOG LIGHTS ALIGNMENT
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Contact a Fiat Dealership to have the
headlights checked and adjusted.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.

KNOWING YOUR CAR
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
All vehicle seats are equipped with seat
belts with three anchor points and a
retractor. The retractor mechanism
operates locking the belt in the event of
sharp braking or strong deceleration
due to an impact.
This allows the belt strap to slide freely
and to adapt to the body of the
occupant. In the event of an accident,
the belt will lock reducing the risk of
impact inside the passenger
compartment and of being projected
outside the vehicle. The driver is
responsible for respecting, and
ensuring that all the other occupants of
the vehicle also respect, the local laws
in force in relation to the use of the seat
belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before
setting off.
The seat belt should be worn keeping
the chest straight and rested against
the backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the
tongue A fig. 120 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.
60) 61)
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 in fig. 121 - fig. 122.

SAFETY
IMPORTANT The backrest is correctly
secured when the red band on the
backrest folding handles A fig. 123
disappears. This red band indicates
that the backrest is not secured.
IMPORTANT After putting the rear
seats (for Doblò/Doblò Combi versions)
back to their normal operating position,
refit the seat belt so that it is ready for
use.
62)
ADJUSTING THE SEAT
BELT HEIGHT
63) 64)The seat belt height can be adjusted to
various positions using the regulator
on the central pillar.
Always adjust the height of the seat
belts to fit the person wearing it: this
precaution could greatly reduce the risk
of injury in the event of collision.
Correct adjustment is obtained when
the belt passes approximately half way
between the shoulder and the neck.
WARNING
60)Never press button C fig. 120when
travelling.
61)Remember that after a violent impact,
rear-seat passengers who are not wearing
their seat belts not only expose themselves
to significant risk for injury, but also
represent a danger to passengers
occupying the front seats.
62)Make sure that the backrest is correctly
secured on both sides (red bands B not
visible) to prevent it from moving forward in
the event of sharp braking, causing injuries
to passengers.
63)The height of the seat belts must be
adjusted with the vehicle stationary.
64)After the height adjustment, always
check that the regulator is locked in one of
the preset positions. To do this, push
downwards to enable the locking device to
click if the grip has not been released in
one of the possible positions.
