KNOWING YOUR VEHICLE
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 groups Front passenger (*) Rear passenger
(1st row)Rear passenger
(2nd row)
Airbag enabled Airbag deactivated
Group 0, 0+ up to 13 kgXUUX
Group 1 9-18 kgXUUX
Group 2 15-25 kgUUU X
Group 3 22-36 kgUUU X
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".
(*) 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”)
WARNING
64)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.
65)The diagrams are indicative and provided for assembly purposes only. Fit the child restraint system according to the instructions, which
must be included.
66)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.

USING THE
GEARBOX
To engage the gears, depress the
clutch pedal fully and shift the gear
lever A-fig. 127 into the required
position (the diagram is shown on the
gear knob fig. 123).
IMPORTANT Reverse may only be
engaged when the vehicle is at a
standstill. With the engine running, wait
for at least 2 seconds with the clutch
pedal fully pressed before engaging
reverse to prevent damage to the gears
and grating.
To engage reverse R from neutral, lift
ring B under the knob and at the same
time move the gear lever to the right
and then backwards (as shown in the
diagram).
95)
23)
WARNING
95)Depress the clutch pedal fully to
change gear correctly. Therefore, the floor
area underneath the pedal unit must not
be obstructed in any way. Ensure that the
floor mat is always laid flat and does not
interfere with use of the pedals.
WARNING
23)Do not drive with your hand resting on
the gear lever as the force exerted, even
if slight, could lead over time to premature
wear of the internal gearbox components.
The clutch pedal should be used only
for gear changes. Do not drive with your
foot resting on the clutch pedal, however
lightly. For versions/markets where
provided, the electronic clutch control
could cut in by interpreting the incorrect
driving style as a fault.
COMFORT-MATIC/
DUALOGIC
TRANSMISSION
The vehicle is equipped with an
electronically controlled mechanical
transmission ((Comfort-Matic or
Dualogic) which has two operating
modes:MANUALandAUTO.
The transmission consists of a
traditional manual transmission with a
lever fig. 124, to which an electronically
controlled electro-hydraulic device
has been added to automatically
control the clutch and gear the
engagement.
