2017 FIAT DOBLO COMBI Owners Manual

WARNING
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 them. 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.
Depending on the characteristics of the
child restraint systems used, you are
advised to keep children in rear-facing
child restraint systems for as long as
possible (at least until 3-4 years old),
since this is the most protected position
in the event of an impact.It is recommended to always choose
the restraint system most suitable
for the child; for this reason always refer
to the Owner Handbook provided with
the child restraint system, to be sure
that it is of the right type for the children
it is intended for.
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 groups
Group 0up to 10 kg in
weight
Group 0+up to 13 kg in
weight
Group 1 9 - 18 kg
Group 2 15 - 25 kg
Group 3 22 - 36 kg
All restraint devices must bear the
type-approval 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.

68)

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. 131 and it
must restrain the child in turn with
its own belts.
GROUP 1
From 9 to 18 kg in weight, children may
be carried facing forwards fig. 132.
69) 70)
GROUP 2
Children from 15 to 25 kg may use the
vehicle's seat belts directly fig. 133. 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.
69)
GROUP 3
For children between 22 kg and 36 kg,
there are boosters which allow the
seat belt to be worn correctly.
The fig. 134 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:
111
Group Weight groups

(1st row)Rear passenger

Group 0, 0+ up to 13 kgXUUX
Group 1 9-18 kgXUUX
Group 2 15-25 kgUUU X
Group 3 22-36 kgUUU X
(*) IMPORTANT: NEVER fit rearward-facing child restraint systems on the front seat with an active passenger airbag. If you wish to fit a rearward-facing child seat in
the front passenger seat, first deactivate the relative airbag (see instructions in the paragraph (Supplementary protection system (SRS) – Airbag”)
X= seat not suitable for children in this weight category
U= Suitable for child restraint systems in the "Universal" category, according to European Regulation EEC-R44 for the specified "Groups".

WARNING
68)SERIOUS DANGER: When an active passenger airbag is fitted, DO NOT install rear 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. 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 crash. Should it be absolutely
necessary to carry a child on the front seat in a rearward-facing child restraint system, the passenger front and side airbags (for versions/
markets, where provided) must be deactivated through the setup menu. Deactivation can be verified by checking operation of the
warning
light alone or in the SBR (according to versions, where provided). Move the passenger's seat as far back as possible to avoid contact
between the child restraint system and the dashboard.
69)The diagrams are indicative and provided for assembly purposes only. Fit the child restraint system according to the instructions, which
must be included.
70)Child restraint systems with Isofix attachments are available for a safe anchoring to the seat without using the car seat belts. Follow the
assembly instructions carefully.

SAFETY

ISOFIX CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
SETUP
(for versions/markets, where provided)
Only for vehicles designed to carry
people, (M1 approval), provision has
been made on some versions to fit
a Universal Isofix child restraint system,
a European standardised system for
carrying children safely.
The ISOFIX system lets you install the
ISOFIX child restraining system without
using the car seat belts but connecting
them directly to the car seat with three
anchors in the car.
Isofix systems can be fitted alongside a
traditional child restraint system. An
example of a child restraint system is
shown in fig. 135. The Universal Isofix
child's seat covers weight group: 1.
Due to its different anchoring system,
the child restraint system must be
attached to the dedicated lower metal
rings A fig. 136, 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. 137 (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.
137 (one on each side) is covered with
a cloth cap, to be removed for correctly
fastening the child restraint system.
Remember that when using a Universal
Isofix child restraint system, you can
only use approved child restraint
system with the marking ECE R44
(R44/03 or superior) “Universal Isofix”.
The Universal Isofix “Duo Plus” child
restraint system and the special "G 0/1"
one are available from Lineaccessori
Fiat.
Refer to the instruction manual
provided with the child restraint system
for any further details on installation/
use.
