When using a Universal ISOFIX child

restraint system, only ECE R44 “ISOFIX

Universal” (R44/03 or further upgrades)

type-approved child restraint systems

can be used (see fig. 124).

The other weight groups are covered

by specific ISOFIX child restraint

systems, which can only be used if

specifically tested for this vehicle (see

list of vehicles provided with the child

restraint system).

72)

Always make sure that the chest

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.

73)

Never use the same lower anchorage

to attach more than one child restraint.

74)

If a Universal ISOFIX child restraint

system is not fixed to all three anchorages,

it will not be able to protect the child

correctly. In a crash, the child could be

seriously or fatally injured.

75)

Fit the child restraint system only when

the vehicle is stationary. The child restraint

system is correctly fixed to the brackets

when you hear the click. Follow the

instructions for assembly, disassembly and

positioning that the Manufacturer must

supply with the child restraint system.

i-Size CHILD RESTRAINT

SYSTEMS

These child restraint systems, built and

type-approved according to the i-Size

(ECE R129) standard, ensure better

safety conditions to carry children on

board a vehicle:

the child must be transported

rearward facing until 15 months;

child restraint system protection

is increased in the event of a side

collision;

the use of the ISOFIX system is

promoted to avoid faulty installation of

the child restraint system;

efficiency in the choice of the child

restraint system, which isn't made

according to weight any more but

according to the child's height, is

increased;

compatibility between the vehicle

seats and the child restraint systems is

better: the i-Size child restraint systems

can be considered as "Super ISOFIX";

this means that they can be perfectly

fitted in type-approved i-Size seats, but

can also be fitted in ISOFIX (ECE R44)

type-approved seats.

NOTE If your car seats are i-Size

approved, the symbol shown in fig. 125

will appear on the seats near the

ISOFIX attachments.

Main recommendations

to carry children safely

Install the child restraint systems

on the rear seat, which is the most

protected position in the event of a

collision.

Keep children in rearward facing

child restraint systems for as long as

possible, until 3

–

4 years old if possible.

The rear head restraint can be

removed if needed to install a child

restraint system. The head restraint

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.

If the passenger's front airbag

is deactivated always check the

dedicated warning light on the trim

located on the dashboard to make sure

that it has actually been deactivated.

Carefully follow the instructions

supplied with the child restraint system.

Keep the instructions in the vehicle

along with the other papers and this

handbook. Do not use second-hand

child seats without instructions.

Only one child is to be strapped

into each restraint system; never carry

two children using one child restraint

system.

Always check that the seat belts do

not rest on the child’s neck.

Always check that the seat belt is

well fastened by pulling on it.

While travelling, do not let the child

sit incorrectly or unfasten the belts.

Never allow a child to put the belt's

diagonal section under an arm or

behind their back.

Never carry children on your lap,

even newborns. No-one can hold a

child in the case of a collision.

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.

FRONT AIRBAGS

The vehicle is fitted with front airbag

for the driver and, for versions/markets

where provided, front airbag for the

passenger.

FRONT AIRBAGS

The front driver/passenger airbags (for

versions/markets where provided) have

been designed to protect the front-

seat occupants in the event of head-

on crashes of medium-high severity, by

placing the bag between the occupant

and the steering wheel or dashboard.
Non-activation in other types of crash

(side-on collisions, rear shunts, roll-

overs, etc.) is therefore not a sign of

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 driver/passenger airbags (for

versions/markets where provided)

are not a replacement for, but rather

a complement to, the seat belts,

which should be worn at all times as

specified by law in Europe and most

non-European countries.

SAFETY

100

In the event of an impact, those not

wearing a seat belt are projected

forwards, and may come into contact

with the bag which is still inflating. The

protection offered by the cushion is

compromised in such a case.
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.);

jamming of the vehicle underneath

other vehicles or protective barriers

(e.g. underneath a truck or a guard

rail); in this case, the bags would offer

no additional protection with respect

to the seat belt and their deployment

is unnecessary. In these cases, non-

deployment does not indicate a system

malfunction.

76) 77) 78) 79) 80)

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).
It is therefore always necessary to wear

seat belts.

DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT

bag contained in a special recess in the

centre of the steering wheel fig. 126.

RESTRAINT SYSTEMS

81)

Rearward-facing child restraint systems

must NEVER be fitted on the front seat

with an active passenger's airbag since

in the event of an impact the airbag

activation may cause fatal injuries to the

transported child.
ALWAYS comply with the instructions

on the label fig. 128 stuck on the

passenger side sun visor.

Manual deactivation of

passenger side front

airbag and side bag for

pelvis, chest, shoulder

and head protection

(for versions/markets, where provided)
On Doblò versions for passenger

transport (M1 type-approval), if a child

must be carried on the front seat,

if a rearward-facing child restraint

system is used, the passenger side

front airbag and the side airbags (for

versions/markets, where provided)

must be deactivated, because airbag

activation in case of collision can cause

fatal injuries to the child.

WARNING To manually deactivate the

passenger's front and side airbags (for

versions/markets where provided), refer

to "Digital display" and "Multifunction

display" in the "Know your vehicle"

section.

The

light above the front ceiling

light fig. 129 on its own or inside the

SBR fig. 130 (depending on versions,

where provided) indicates the status

of the passenger's side airbag. If the

warning light is off, the passenger side

protection is activated.
The warning light goes off when

the front and side airbags (for

versions/markets, where provided) are

reactivated.
When the vehicle is started (key in MAR

position), the warning light turns on for

approx. 8 seconds. If not, contact a

Fiat Dealership.
During the first 8 seconds, the

activation of the warning light does not

actually show the passenger protection

status, but only checks its correct

operation.

129

F0V0406

130

F0V0710

76)

Do not apply stickers or other objects

to the steering wheel, the dashboard in the

passenger side airbag area and the seats.

Never put objects (e.g. mobile phones) on

the passenger side of the dashboard since

they could interfere with correct inflation

of the passenger airbag and also cause

serious injury to the passengers.

77)

The airbag must be able to inflate

without obstruction in the event of

deployment. It is therefore recommended

not to drive with the body bent forward,

but to sit up resting your back and

shoulders on the backrest of the seat.

Adjusting the position of the seat so that

you can reach and manoeuvre the steering

wheel comfortably with your arms slightly

bent being as far away as possible from

the steering wheel. Being too close to

the steering wheel when the airbag is

deployed may cause serious injury.

78)

The airbag deployment threshold is

higher than that of the pretensioners.

For collisions in the range between the

two thresholds, it is normal for only the

pretensioners to be activated.

79)

The airbag does not replace seat

belts but increases their efficiency.

Because front airbags are not deployed

for low-speed crashes, side collisions,

rear-end shunts or rollovers, occupants

are protected, in addition to any side

bags, only by their seat belts, which must

therefore always be fastened.

80)

In some versions, in the event of

a failure of the

LED (located on the

front ceiling light), the

warning light

SAFETY

102

on the instrument panel turns on and the

passenger side airbags are deactivated.

81)

When there is an active passenger

airbag, DO NOT install rearward facing

child restraint systems on the front seat.

Deployment of the airbag in a crash could

cause fatal injuries to the child regardless

of the severity of the collision. Therefore,

always deactivate the passenger side

airbag when a rearward facing child

restraint system is installed on the front

passenger seat. The front passenger seat

must also be positioned back as far as

possible in order to prevent the child

restraint system from coming into contact

with the dashboard. Immediately reactivate

the passenger airbag as soon as the child

restraint system has been removed.

103

PASSENGER'S FRONT AIRBAG AND CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEMS: IMPORTANT

131

F1A0387

SAFETY

104

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 BAG

(for versions/markets, where provided)
It consists of an instantly inflating bag

housed in the front seat backrest

fig. 132. It protects the pelvis, chest

and shoulder area of the passengers in

the event of side crashes of medium-

high severity.

WARNING In the event of a side crash,

the system provides best protection

if the passenger sits on the seat in a

correct position, thus allowing correct

side bag deployment.

WARNING Do not wash the seats with

water or pressurised steam (wash by

hand or at automatic seat washing

stations).

132

F0V0026

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.

105

IMPORTANT NOTES

The front airbags and/or side bags

(where provided) may be deployed if

the vehicle is subject to heavy knocks

or accidents involving the underbody

area, such as for example violent

shocks against steps, kerbs or low

obstacles, or the vehicle falling into big

potholes or depressions in the road.
A small amount of dust will be released

when the airbags are deployed.

The dust is not harmful and does

not indicate the beginning of a fire.

Furthermore, the surface of the

deployed bag and the interior of the

vehicle may be covered in a dusty

residue: this may irritate your skin and

eyes. Wash with mild soap and water in

the event of exposure.
Should an accident occur in which any

of the safety devices are activated, take

the vehicle to a Fiat Dealership to have

the activated devices replaced and to

have the whole system checked.
Every control, repair and replacement

operation concerning the airbags must

be carried out only at Fiat Dealerships.
If you are having the vehicle scrapped,

have the system deactivated at a Fiat

Dealership first. If the vehicle changes

ownership, the new owner must be

informed of how to use the airbags and

the above warnings and also be given

this "Owner Handbook".

Pretensioners, front airbags and front

side bags are deployed differently

according to the type of collision.

Failure to activate one or more of the

devices does not indicate a system

malfunction.

82) 83) 84) 85) 86) 87) 88) 89)

82)

If the

warning light does not turn

on when the key is turned to MAR, or if

it stays on when travelling (together with

the message on the display on some

versions), there could be a failure in the

restraint systems. If this is the case, the

airbags or pretensioners may not trigger in

the event of an accident or, less likely, they

may trigger accidentally. Contact a Fiat

Dealership immediately to have the system

checked.

83)

Do not travel carrying objects in your

lap, in front of your chest or between your

lips (pipe, pencils, etc.): they could cause

severe injury if the airbag is deployed.

84)

On vehicles with side bags, do not

cover the front seat backrests with extra

covers.

85)

If the car has been stolen or in the

case of attempt to steal it, if it has been

subjected to vandalism or floods, have

the airbag system checked by a Fiat

Dealership.

86)

If the ignition device is at MAR, even if

the engine is switched off, airbags may be

deployed when the vehicle is stationary

and hit by another vehicle. Therefore,

even if the vehicle is stationary, when an

active front passenger airbag is fitted, DO

NOT install rearward facing child restraint

systems on the front passenger seat.

Deployment of the airbag following an

impact could cause fatal injuries to the

child. Therefore, always deactivate the

passenger side airbag when a rearward

facing child restraint system is installed

on the front passenger seat. The front

passenger seat must also be positioned

back as far as possible in order to prevent

the child restraint system from coming into

contact with the dashboard. Immediately

reactivate the passenger airbag as soon

as the child restraint system has been

removed. Also remember that, if the

ignition device is set to STOP, none of the

safety devices (airbags or pretensioners)

will be deployed in the event of collision.

Non-deployment in such cases does not

indicate a system malfunction.

87)

Do not affix rigid objects to the

garment hooks or support handles.

88)

Do not rest your head, arms or elbows

on the door, windows or the area in which

the window bag is located to avoid

possible injury during airbag inflation.

89)

Never lean your head, arms or elbows

out of the window.
