How To Keep The Seat Belts In Proper Working Order At All Times - Fiat Doblo Owner's Handbook Manual

Never travel with a child
sitting on the passenger's
lap with a single belt to
protect them both, fig. 11. Do not
fasten other objects to the body.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Seat belts must also be worn by ex-
pectant mothers: the risk of injury in
the case of accident is much greater
for them and their unborn child too
if they do not have a seat belt on. Of
course they must position the lower
part of the belt very low down so that
it passes under the abdomen fig. 12.

HOW TO KEEP THE SEAT
BELTS IN PROPER WORKING
ORDER AT ALL TIMES
1) When wearing the seat belts, al-
ways ensure they are not twisted and
are free to wind in and out.
2) Following a serious accident, re-
place the belt being worn at that time,
even if it does not seem damaged. Al-
ways replace the seat belts if preten-
sioners have been activated.
3) When cleaning the belts, wash
them by hand with water and neutral
soap, rinse them and let them dry in
the shade. Do not use strong deter-
gents, bleach, colouring or any other
chemical substance that could weaken
the belt fibres.
4) Do not allow the reel mechanisms
to get wet: they are only guaranteed
to work properly if they remain dry.
5) Replace the seat belt when show-
ing significant wear or cut signs.
