2017 FIAT DUCATO BASE CAMPER belt

The choice of the most suitable child
restraint system depends on the weight
and size of the child. There are various
types of child restraint systems that can
be secured to the vehicle by means of
the seat belts or with the ISOFIX
anchorages. 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. In Europe the
characteristics of child restraint systems
are ruled by the regulation ECE-R44,
dividing them 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
As you can see, the groups overlap
partly and, in fact, there are devices on
sale that cover more than one weight
group.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.
Over 1.50 m in height, from the point of
view of restraint systems, children are
considered as adults and wear the seat
belts normally.
Lineaccessori Fiat offers child restraint
systems for each weight group. These
devices are recommended, having
been specifically designed for Fiat cars.
87)
GROUP 0 and 0+
Babies up to 13 kg must be carried
facing backwards on a cradle seat,
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. 92 and it
must restrain the child in turn with
its own belts.

GROUP 1
Children from 9 kg to 18 kg in weight
can be carried facing forwards if the
child restraint system is fitted with
a front cushion, through which the
vehicle's seat belt restrains the child
and the seat together fig. 93.

GROUP 2
Children from 15 to 25 kg may use the
vehicle's seat belts directly fig. 94.
The child restraint system is now
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.

For children from 22 kg to 36 kg in
weight the size of the child's chest no
longer requires a support to space
the child's back from the backrest.

SAFETY

Below is a summary of
the main safety rules to
be followed when
carrying children
The recommended position for
installing child restraint systems is on
the rear seat, as it is the most protected
area in the event of an impact.
Keep children in rearward-facing
child restraint systems for as long
as possible, ideally until they are 3–4
years old.
If the passenger front airbag is
deactivated, always check the
corresponding LED on the button
on
the instrument panel to make sure
that it has actually been deactivated.
Carefully follow the instructions that
come with the child seat, which the
manufacturer must supply. Keep the
instructions in the vehicle along with the
other papers and this handbook. Do
not use second-hand child seats
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 unfasten the belts.
Never carry children on your lap,
even newborns. No one can hold
a child in the case of an accident.
Never allow a child to put the belt's
diagonal section under an arm or
behind their back.
If the vehicle has been involved in a
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.
The rear headrest can be removed if
needed to install a child restraint
system. The headrest must always be
fitted in the vehicle if the seat is used by
an adult passenger or a child sitting in
a restraint system without backrest.
WARNING
87)Do not place a rearward facing cradle
seat on the front seat if the passenger side
airbag is enabled. 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
collision. If you need to carry a child on the
front passenger seat in a rearward facing
cradle seat, the passenger side airbags
(front and side bags for chest/pelvis
protection, for versions/markets, where
provided) must be deactivated using
the setup menu. It is important to check
the dedicated LED on button
on the
instrument panel to make sure that they
are actually deactivated. Move the
passenger's seat as far back as possible
to avoid contact between the child seat
and the dashboard.
88)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
"Supplementary Restraint System (SRS)
- Airbag" paragraph).
89)Do not move the front or rear seat if a
child is seated on it or on the dedicated
child restraint system.

SAFETY

90)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.
91)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.
92)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.
93)The figures are only examples for fitting
purposes. Fit the child restraint system
according to the instructions, which must
be included.
94)Car seats for weight groups 0 and 1
feature an anchor in front of the vehicle
safety belts as well as its own belts to
restrain the child. Due to their weight, they
may be dangerous if incorrectly mounted
(e.g. if fastened to the vehicle seat belts
placing a cushion in between). Follow the
assembly instructions carefully.SETUP FOR
“UNIVERSAL
ISOFIX” CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
The vehicle is set up for fitting an Isofix
child restraint system.
The ISOFIX system lets you install the
ISOFIX child restraining system quickly,
simply and safely, without using the
car seat belts, but by connecting the
child restrain system directly to the car
seat with three anchors in the vehicle.
Traditional child restraint systems can
be fitted alongside ISOFIX child restraint
systems on different seats in the same
vehicle.
To install an ISOFIX child restraint
system, attach it to the two metal
anchorages A fig. 96 located where the
rear seat cushion meets the backrest,
then fix the upper strap (available
together with the restraint system) to
the dedicated anchorage B fig. 97
located at the bottom behind the
backrest.
As an example, fig. 99 shows an
example of a Universal ISOFIX child
restraint system for weight group 1.
NOTE When a Universal ISOFIX child
restraint system is used, only ECE R44
"ISOFIX Universal” (R44/03 or further
upgrades), type-approved child
restraint systems can be used fig. 98.

SAFETY

SUPPLEMENTARY
RESTRAINT SYSTEM
(SRS) - AIRBAG
The vehicle may be equipped with:
driver front airbag;
passenger front airbag;
front side bags to protect the pelvis
and chest of the driver and passenger;
window bags to protect the heads
of the front seat occupants.
The airbag locations on the vehicle are
marked by the word "AIRBAG" in the
middle of the steering wheel, on the
dashboard, on the side lining or on
a label placed next to the airbag
deployment area.
FRONT AIRBAGS
The front airbags protect the front seat
occupants in the event of a medium-
high severity frontal impact, by placing
the bag between the occupant and
the steering wheel or dashboard.
Therefore, non-activation in other types
of collisions (side collisions, rear shunts,
roll-overs, etc.) is not a system
malfunction.
An electronic control unit will make the
bag inflate in the event of a frontal
impact.The bag will inflate instantaneously
placing itself between the front
occupants body and the structures
which could cause injury. It will deflate
immediately afterwards.
Front airbags are not a replacement of
but complementary to the seat belts,
which you are recommended to always
wear, as specified by law in Europe
and most non-European countries.
In the event of an impact, someone not
wearing a seat belt could move forward
and come into contact with a bag
which is still opening. The protection
offered by the bag is compromised
in these circumstances.
Front airbags may not activate in the
following situations:
frontal impacts against highly
deformable objects not involving the
front surface of the vehicle (e.g. wing
collision against guard rail, etc.);
when the vehicle is wedged under
other vehicles or protective barriers
(e.g. under a lorry or a guardrail); Failure
to deploy in the conditions described
above is due to the fact that the airbags
may not provide any additional
protection compared with seat belts, so
their activation would be inappropriate.
In these cases, non-deployment does
not indicate a system malfunction.
99)
The driver's and passenger's front
airbags have been designed and
calibrated to protect front seat
occupants wearing seat belts. At their
maximum inflation, their volume fills
most of the space between the steering
wheel and the driver and between the
dashboard and the passenger.
The airbags are not deployed in the
event of minor frontal impacts (for
which the restraining action of the seat
belts is sufficient). Seat belts must
always be worn. In the event of a frontal
collision, they ensure the correct
positioning of the occupant.
FRONT AIRBAG DRIVER'S
SIDE
It consists of an instantly inflating bag
contained in a special recess at the
centre of the steering wheel fig. 100.
