2013 Alfa Romeo Giulietta instrument panel

Make sure that the backrest is correctly secured on
both sides (red bands B fig. 102 not visible) to prevent
it from moving forward in the event of sharp braking,
causing injuries to passengers.
SBR SYSTEM
(Seat Belt Reminder)This system comprises an acoustic signal which, in conjunction with the
warning light flashing on the instrument panel display, warns the
driver and front passenger if their seat belts have not been fastened.
On some versions there is also a panel (provided as an alternative
to the warning lights on the instrument panel) located above the
interior rear view mirror fig. 103, which warns the front and back seat
passengers through acoustic and visual signals if their seat belts have
not been fastened.
Contact Alfa Romeo Authorised Workshops to deactivate the SBR
system permanently.
The SBR system can be reactivated at any time through the Setup Menu
only (see "Menu Items" in “Knowing your car” section).
The warning lights may be red or green and operate as follows:
❒1 = front left seat (driver status for left-hand drive versions);
❒2 = rear left seat (passenger);
❒3 = rear centre seat (passenger);
❒4 = rear right seat (passenger);
❒5 = front right seat (passenger status for left-hand drive versions).

CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELYFor optimal protection in the event of a collision, all passengers must
be seated and wearing adequate restraint systems. This is even more
important for children.
This prescription is compulsory in all EC countries according to
Directive 2003/20/EC. Compared with an adult, a child's head is
larger and heavier in proportion to his/her body and the child's
muscular and bone structures are not fully developed. Therefore,
correct restraint systems other than adult seat belts are necessary to
reduce as much as possible the risk of injuries in case of accident,
braking or sudden manoeuvre.
Children must be suitably restrained inside the vehicle according to
their weight. Several children restraint system types are available;
always choose the one most suitable for the child.
Over 1.50 m in height, from the point of view of restraint systems,
children are considered as adults and wear the seat belts normally.
The results of research on the best child restraint systems are contained
in the European Standard ECE-R44, which enforces the use of restraint
systems classified into five weight groups:Group Weight groups
Group0 upto10kg
Group 0+ up to 13 kg
Group 1 9-18 kg
Group 2 15-25 kg
Group 3 22-36 kg
All restraint devices must bear the type-approval data along with the
control mark on a label firmly secured to the child seat which must
never be removed.
Lineaccessori Alfa Romeo includes child seats for each weight group.
These devices are recommended having been specifically tested for
Alfa Romeo cars.
When an active passenger airbag is fitted, DO NOT
install child seats to be fitted facing backwards on the
front seat. Deployment of the airbag in an accident
could cause fatal injuries to the baby regardless of the severity of
the collision. It is advisable to always carry children in a child
seat on the rear seat, which is the most protected position in the
event of a collision.Should it be absolutely necessary to carry a child on the
passenger side front seat in a child seat facing backwards,
the passenger side airbags (pelvis/chest protection front
and side bags) must be deactivated through the Setup
menu. Deactivation should be verified by checking if the
warning light is on the instrument panel. Slide the passenger seat
back as far as possible to avoid contact between the child seat and
the dashboard.

Main safety rules 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 the front passenger airbag is deactivated always check the
warning light on the instrument panel to make sure that it has
actually been deactivated.
❒Follow the instructions supplied with the child seat itself, which the
manufacturer must provide. Keep the instructions in the car along
with the other documents and this handbook. Do not use child seats
without instructions;
❒always check that the seat belt is well fastened by pulling on it;
❒only one child is to be strapped into each retaining system; never
carry two children using one child seat;
❒always check that the belts do not rest on 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
restrain them in the event of an accident;
❒in the event of an accident, replace the child seat with a new one.

FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAGThis is located in a dedicated compartment in the dashboard fig. 115.
When the passenger side airbag is activated, child seats
facing backwards must NEVER be placed on the front seat.
Deployment of the airbag in an accident could cause fatal
injuries to the baby regardless of the severity of the
collision. Always deactivate the passenger side airbag
when placing a child seat on the front seat. The passenger seat must
also be positioned back as far as possible in order to avoid the child
seat from coming into contact with the dashboard. Though not required
by law, we recommend that you reactivate this airbag as soon as the
child no longer needs to be transported to ensure better protection
for adults.
Deactivating passenger side airbags:
front airbag and seat-mounted side
bag for pelvis, chest and shoulders
protection (Side bag)If a child must be carried on the front seat in a child seat facing
backwards, deactivate the passenger side front airbag and seat-
mounted side bag for pelvis, chest and shoulder protection (side back).
With the airbags deactivated, the
warning light switches on in the
instrument panel.
To deactivate the airbags, see the “Knowing your car”
section, “Menu Options” paragraph.

STARTING AND DRIVING
STARTING THE ENGINEPROCEDURE FOR PETROL VERSIONSProceed as follows:
❒engage the handbrake and place the gearbox lever in neutral;
❒fully depress the clutch pedal, without touching the accelerator;
❒turn the ignition key to AVV and release it as soon as the engine
starts.
IMPORTANT
❒If the engine does not start at the first attempt, return the ignition key
to STOP before repeating the starting procedure.
❒If, when the ignition key is at MAR, the instrument panel warning
light
remains on together with warning light
, turn the
key to STOP and then back to MAR; if the warning light remains on,
try the other keys provided. If you are still unable to start the engine
contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.
❒Never leave the ignition key at MAR when the engine is stopped.
PROCEDURE FOR DIESEL VERSIONSProceed as follows:
❒engage the handbrake and place the gearbox lever in neutral;
❒turn the ignition key to MAR: the warning lights
and
on
the instrument panel will switch on;
❒wait for the warning lights to switch off;❒fully depress the clutch pedal, without touching the accelerator;
❒turn the ignition key to AVV;
warning light switches off.
Waiting too long will waste the heating work carried out by the
glow plugs. Release the key as soon as the engine starts.
If the
warning light flashes for about 1 minute after
starting or during prolonged cranking, this indicates a fault
in the glow plug preheating system. Use the car normally
if the engine starts and go to Alfa Romeo Authorized Services as soon
as possible.
It is dangerous to run the engine in enclosed areas. The
engine takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide,
carbon monoxide and other toxic gases.It is advisable not to demand maximum performance from
your car (e.g. excessive acceleration, long distances at
maximum rpm, excessively intense braking, etc.) when it is
first used.When the engine is off, do not leave the ignition key turned
to MAR to prevent unnecessary electrical consumption from
draining the battery.
