INDEXDANGER: Do not put cradle seats facing
backwards on the front seat if the front
passenger airbag is enabled. Deployment
of the airbag in an accident could cause
fatal injuries to the child. It is advisable
to carry children on the rear seat, which is the
most protected position in the event of an acci-
dent. Child seats must not be fitted on the front
seat of vehicles with a passenger airbag; their de-
ployment in an accident, however serious, could
cause fatal injuries to the child. If necessary, chil-
dren can travel in the front seat, if the front pas-
senger airbag can be disabled. In this case, check
that the airbag is actually deactivated by mak-
ing sure the “warning light appears on the in-
strument panel (see “Front passenger airbag” in
the “Front airbags” section). Also, the passenger
seat should be as far back as possible to avoid
contact between the child seat and the dashboard.
WARNINGOver 1.50 m in height, from the point of view of restraint
systems, children are considered as adults and wear seat
belts normally.
Lineaccessori Fiat has child seats for each weight group.
These devices are recommended, having been specifically
designed for Fiat vehicles.

ment possibilities for child restraints on the seats of a vehicle as shown in the following table:
Below is a summary of the rules of safety to be
followed when carrying children:
❒install the child seats 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 warning light
“has lit up on the instrument
panel to make sure that it has actually been deactivated;
❒carefully follow the instructions supplied with the child
restraint system, which are mandatory. Keep the in-
structions in the vehicle along with the other papers
and this handbook. Do not install second-hand child
seats without instructions;
❒always check the seat belt is well fastened by pulling
the webbing;
❒never carry two children in the same retaining system;

INDEXFRONT AIRBAGS
The vehicle is fitted with front airbags for the driver and,
for versions/markets where provided, front airbags 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 medi-
um-high severity, by placing the bag between the occu-
pant 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 sys-
tem malfunction.
An electronic control unit causes the bag to inflate, if nec-
essary, in the event of a head-on crash.
The bag will inflate instantaneously, placing itself between
the front occupant’s 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.
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 in the opening phase. The protection offered
by the bag is reduced in such a case. The front airbags may not be activated in the following
situations:❒head-on impacts against highly deformable objects that
do not affect the vehicle’s front surface (e.g. front wing
hitting the guard rail);
❒car getting wedged under other vehicles or protective
barriers (e.g. trucks or guard rails);
they could not provide any additional protection com-
pared with seat belts, so their activation would not be
worthwhile. In these cases, non-deployment of the airbag
does not necessarily indicate a system malfunction.
Do not apply stickers or other objects to
the steering wheel, the dashboard in the
passenger side airbag area and the seats. Do not
place objects (e.g. mobile phones) on the passen-
ger side dashboard because these could interfere
with the correct opening of the airbag and cause
severe injury to occupants.
WARNING
The front driver and passenger airbags are designed and
calibrated to best protect front-seat passengers wearing
seat belts.
The volume of the front airbags at maximum inflation 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 small head-
on collisions (for which the withholding action of the seat
belts is sufficient). Seat belts must always be worn. In the
event of head-on collisions, they ensure the correct po-
sitioning of the occupant.
FRONT AIRBAG ON DRIVER’S SIDE fig. 123
This consists of an instant-inflating bag contained in a spe-
cial compartment in the centre of the steering wheel.
FRONT AIRBAG ON PASSENGER’S SIDE
fig. 124 (for versions/markets where provided)
This consists of an instant-inflating bag contained in a spe-
cial compartment in the dashboard: this bag has a larger
volume than that of the driver’s.
Do not put cradle seats facing backwards
on the front seat if the passenger airbag
is activated. Deployment of the airbag in
an accident could cause fatal injuries to
the child. Always deactivate the passen-
ger airbag when placing a child seat on the front
seat. Also, the passenger seat should be as far back
as possible to avoid contact between the child seat
and the dashboard. Although this is not manda-
tory by law, the airbag should be immediately re-
activated when children are no longer carried to
ensure better protection for adults.

INDEXMANUAL DEACTIVATION OF FRONT AND
SIDE PASSENGER AIRBAGS FOR HEAD AND
TORSE PROTECTION
(for versions/markets where provided)
On Doblò M1 versions, whenever a child needs to be car-
ried on the front seat, the passenger’s front airbags and
side bags for head and chest protection (for versions/mar-
kets where provided) can be deactivated.
The warning light
“on the instrument panel stays on un-
til the passenger’s front and side airbags for head and torse
protection (for versions/markets where provided) are re-
activated.
On Doblò Cargo versions with foldaway passenger seat
and split, revolving partition or ladder, the passenger front
airbags and the side bags for chest/head protection (for
versions/markets where provided) need to be deactivat-
ed if a load is carried with the seat folded down.
IMPORTANT To manually deactivate the passenger’s front
and side airbags for head and torse protection (for ver-
sions/markets where provided), refer to “Digital display”
and “Multifunction display” in the “Know your vehicle”
section.
SIDE BAGS
(for versions/markets where provided)
On some versions, the vehicle may be fitted with driver
and passenger front side airbags for head and torse pro-
tection.
Side bags protect occupants from side-on crashes of medi-
um/high severity by placing the bag between the occu-
pant and the internal parts of the side structure of the
vehicle.
Non-activation of side bags in other types of collisions
(head-on collisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc...) is not
an indication of system malfunction.
An electronic control unit causes the bags to inflate in
the event of a side-on collision. The bags inflate instanta-
neously, 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 comple-
ment 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 occu-
pants in the correct position and prevent them from be-
ing thrown out of the car by a very violent collision.

INDEXIMPORTANT The best protection in the event of side-
on crash is achieved by maintaining a correct position on
the seat. This allows the side bag to be correctly deployed.
IMPORTANT Do not wash the seats with water or pres-
surised steam (by hand or at automatic seat washing sta-
tions).
GENERAL WARNINGS
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 ex-
ample violent shocks against steps, kerbs or low obsta-
cles, 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 indi-
cate 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 ex-
posure.
Should an accident occur in which any of the safety de-
vices are activated, take the vehicle to a Fiat Dealership
to have the activated devices replaced and to have the
whole system checked.
Any airbag checks, repairs or replacements must be car-
ried out at a Fiat Dealership. SIDE BAGS fig. 125
(for versions/markets where provided)
They consist of an instant-inflating bag housed in the front-
seat backrest and have the job of protecting the occu-
pant’s torso and head in the event of a side-on collision
of medium/high severity.
