9)You must not open the left-hand sliding
side door with the fuel cap open while
refuelling. Check that the fuel cap is closed
while opening/closing the sliding side
door to avoid damage.10)If you are parked on a slope, do not
leave the sliding door locked in the open
position. An involuntary impact could
unhook the door, causing it to move.
11)Before leaving the vehicle parked with
the sliding doors open, always check
that they are locked into place.
12)Always use this device when carrying
children.
13)The spring-loaded system was
designed for optimum usage. Accidental
knocks or a strong gust of wind may
release the springs, forcing the doors to

fully before you close the left hand door.
Never shut the two doors at the same time.
WARNING
2)Make sure that the left sliding side door
is all closed before refuelling to prevent

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
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.

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 case of an accident.
If the car has been involved in a
medium-high severity road accident,
replace the child restraint system with a
new one. In addition, and depending
on the type of child restraint system
installed, replace the isofix anchorages
or the seat belt with which the child
restraint system was connected.
72) 73) 74) 75) 76) 77) 78) 79) 79)
WARNING
71)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.
72)When there is an active passenger
airbag, DO NOT install rearward facing
child restraint systems on the front seat.
Always deactivate the passenger airbag
when a rear facing child restraint system is
installed on the front passenger seat.
73)On the sun visor there is a label with
suitable symbols reminding the user that it
is compulsory to deactivate the airbag if
a rearward facing child restraint system is
fitted. Always comply with the instructions
on the passenger side sun visor (see the
"Airbags" paragraph).74)Do not move the front or rear seat if a
child is seated on it or on the dedicated
child restraint system.
75)Incorrect fitting of the child restraint
system may result in an inefficient
protection system. In the event of an
accident the child restraint system may
become loose and the child may be
injured, even fatally. When fitting a restraint
system for newborns or children, strictly
comply with the instructions provided
by the Manufacturer.
76)When the child restraint system is not
used, secure it with the seat belt or with
the ISOFIX anchorages, or remove it from
the vehicle. Do not leave it unsecured
inside the passenger compartment. In this
way, in the case of sudden braking or an
accident, it will not cause injuries to the
occupants.
77)After installing a child restraint system,
do not move the seat: always remove
the child restraint system before making
any adjustment.
78)Always make sure that the diagonal
section of the seat belt does not pass
under the arms or behind the back of the
child. In the event of an accident the seat
belt will not be able to secure the child,
with the risk of injury, including fatal injury.
Therefore the child must always wear
the seat belt correctly.
79)Do not use the same lower anchorage
to install more than one child restraint
system.
