FIAT DOBLO COMBI 2018 Owner handbook (in English) SIDE BAGS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
On some versions, the vehicle may
be provided with side bags and window
bags.
Side bags protect occupants from
side-on crashes of medium/high
severity

SIDE BAGS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
On some versions, the vehicle may
be provided with side bags and window
bags.
Side bags protect occupants from
side-on crashes of medium/high
severity by placing the bag between the
occupant and the internal parts of the
side structure of the vehicle.
Non-activation of side bags in other
types of collisions (front collisions, rear
shunts, roll-overs, etc.) is not a system
malfunction.
An electronic control unit causes the
bags to inflate in the event of a side-on
collision. The bags inflate
instantaneously, placing themselves
between the occupant's body and the
structures which could cause injury.
They deflate immediately afterwards.
Side bags are not a replacement of, but
rather a complement to, seat belts,
which you are recommended to wear at
all times, as specified by law in Europe
and most non-European countries.
For this reason, the seat belt must be
worn at all times. In the case of side-on
collisions, the seat belts hold occupants
in the correct position in relation to the
airbag and prevent them from being
thrown out of the vehicle by a very
violent collision.SIDE BAGS
(for versions/markets, where provided)
It consists of an instantly inflating bag
housed in the front seat backrest. It
protects the passengers’ pelvis, chest
and shoulder areas in the event of
side crashes of medium-high severity
fig. 121.IMPORTANT In the event of side
impact, you can obtain the best
protection from the system by
maintaining a correct position on the
seat, thereby allowing the side bag
to deploy correctly.
IMPORTANT Do not wash the seats
with water or pressurised steam (by
hand or at automatic seat washing
stations).
WINDOW BAG
(for versions/markets, where provided)
These consist of two “drop-down”
cushions, housed behind the side trim
of the roof and covered with finishing
elements.
They are designed to protect the head
of front and rear occupants in the event
of a side collision, thanks to the wide
cushion inflation surface.
The deployment of side bags in the
event of side impacts of low severity is
not required.
In the event of a side impact, the
system provides best protection if the
passenger sits on the seat in a correct
position, thus allowing correct window
bag deployment.
