GROUP 2 fig. 101
Children from 15 to 25 kg can be secured using the car seat belts
directly. The child seat is needed only to position the child correctly
with respect to the belts so that the diagonal section crosses the
child’s chest and never the neck, and the lower part is snug on
the hips not the abdomen.
GROUP 3 fig. 102
For children between 22 kg and 36 kg, there are boosters allow-
ing the seat belt to fit correctly.
Fig. 102 shows proper child seat positioning on the rear seat.

Main safety rules to be followed
when carr ying children:
❍install the child seats on the rear seat, which is the most pro-
tected position in the event of an accident.
❍when the passenger front air bag is deactivated always check
that the
Fwarning light remains permanently lit to confirm
the deactivation;
❍carefully follow the instructions supplied with the child seat,
which are mandatory by law. Keep the instructions in the car
along with the other papers and this handbook. Do not use
child seats without instructions;
❍always check the seat belt is well fastened by pulling the belt;
❍only one child is to be strapped to each retaining system;
❍always check the seat belts do not rest around 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 could
hold on to a child in the event of an accident;
❍In the event of an accident, replace the child seat with a new
one.

INSTALLING A UNIVERSAL ISOFIX CHILD SEAT
Couple the child seat to the specific lower metallic rings B-fig. 104
positioned inside the rear seat backrest (lift the hinge A upwards
to access the rings) and then fix the upper belt (provided with
the seat) to the upper couplings C-fig. 105 located on the back
of the backrest.
Systems can be fitted along side a traditional child seat “Univer-
sal Isofix”. Remember that when using a Universal Isofix child seat,
you can only use approved seats with the marking ECE R44/03
“Universal Isofix”.
The Universal Isofix “Duo Plus” child seat and the special “G 0/1 S”
seat are available from Lineaccessori Alfa Romeo. For any further
installation/details on usage, refer to the “Instruction Manual” sup-
plied with the child seat.
fig. 104A0K0109mfig. 105A0K0108m
Fit the child seat when the car is stationary. The
child seat is correctly anchored to the brackets
when you hear the click. Follow the instructions for
assembly, disassembly and positioning that the child seat
manufacturer must supply.

FRONT AIRBAGS
The car is provided with multistage front air bags (“Smart bag”)
for driver and passenger.
“SMART BAG” SYSTEM
(MULTISTAGE FRONT AIR BAGS)
The front driver/passenger air bags are designed to protect occu-
pants in the event of head-on crashes of medium-high severity,
by placing the bag between the occupant and the steering wheel
or dashboard.
Front air bags are designed to protect car’s occupants in front crash-
es and therefore non-activation in other types of collisions (side col-
lisions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc.) is not a system malfunction.
The air bag do not replace, but rather complement the use of seat
belts, which should always be worn. 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 pro-
tection offered by the bag is reduced in such a case.
Front air bags may not be activated in the following situations:
❍front collisions against highly deformable objects not affect-
ing the front surface of the car (e.g. bumper collision against
guard rail, etc.);
❍car penetration under other vehicles or protective barriers (e.g.
trucks or guard rails);
in these instances they could not provide any additional protec-
tion compared with seat belts, so their deployment would not be
useful. In these cases, non-deployment of the airbag does not
necessarily indicate a system malfunction.
FRONT AIR BAG ON DRIVER’S SIDE fig. 106
This is located in a dedicated compartment in the centre of the steer-
ing wheel.
Do not apply stickers or other objects to the steer-
ing wheel, passenger side air bag cover or upper
side upholstery. Do not place objects on the pas-
senger side dashboard because these could interfere with
the correct opening of the air bag and cause severe injury
to occupants.
fig. 106A0K0080m
Always drive with your hands on the steering wheel
rim so that the air bag can inflate freely if need-
ed. Do not drive with your body bent forward.
Keep your back straight against the backrest.

SIDE AIR BAGS
(SIDE BAG - WINDOW BAG)
The car is fitted with front side bags for driver and passenger for
protecting the chest, and window bags for protecting front and rear
passengers’ heads.
Side bags protect car occupants from side crashes of medium-high
severity, by placing the cushion between the occupant and the in-
ternal parts of the side structure of the car.
Non-activation of side bags in other types of collisions (front colli-
sions, rear shunts, roll-overs, etc...) is not a system malfunction.
fig. 108A0K0081mfig. 109A0K0035m
FRONT SIDE BAGS fig. 108
These are comprised of two types of bags located in the front
back/rests, which protect the chest and pelvis area of passen-
gers in the event of a side impact of medium-high severity.
HEAD PROTECTION SIDE AIR BAGS
(WINDOW BAGS) fig. 109
It is formed by two "curtain" window bags are located behind the
side roof upholstery and are covered by special trimming.
They were designed to protect the head of front and rear passen-
gers in case of side collisions, thanks to the wide cushion inflation
surface.
The air bags are not deployed in the event of impact of low sever-
ity (for which the retaining action of the seat belts is sufficient).
It is therefore always necessary to wear seat belts.
In the event of a side impact, the system provides best protection
if the passenger sits on the seat in a correct position, thus allow-
ing correct window bag deployment.
