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:
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.

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. 112. 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. 113, 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. 114 (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.
114 (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.

SAFETY

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 it
is actually deactivated by checking
that the
warning light is on
constantly either alone or in the SBR
(according to the version, where
provided);
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 a crash.
if the car 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 head restraint can be
removed if needed to install a child
restraint system. The head restraint
must always be present in the vehicle
and fitted if the seat is used by an adult
passenger or a child sitting in a restraint
system without backrest.
68) 69) 70) 71) 72) 73) 74) 75)
WARNING
67)Fit the child restraint system only when
the vehicle is stationary. The child restraint
system is correctly fixed to the setup
brackets when you hear the click. Follow
the instructions for assembly, disassembly
and positioning that the Manufacturer
must supply with the child restraint system.68)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.
69)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).
70)Do not move the front or rear seat if a
child is seated on it or on the dedicated
child restraint system.
71)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.
72)When the child restraint system is not
used, secure it with the seat belt or with
the ISOFIX anchorages, or remove it from
the car. Do not leave it unsecured inside
the passenger compartment. In this way, in
the event of sudden braking or an
accident, it will not cause injuries to the
occupants.
73)After installing a child restraint system,
do not move the seat: always remove
the child restraint system before making
any adjustment.
