with the longest side facing the front of the car.
Do not travel with the glove compartments open: they
may injure the front seat occupants in the event of
an accident.
FRONT ARMREST(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is located between the front seats. To bring it to its standard use
position, push it downwards.
The front armrest is equipped with an inner storage compartment.
To access the compartment, position the armrest in the standard use
configuration (fully down) and then lift the cover with lining A fig. 55For correct use of the armrest specific measures must be followed for
the opening of the cover:
❒it must be opened only with armrest completely lowered;
❒to prevent content of the armrest from falling, the opening of the
cover is inhibited in positions other than "completely lowered".
NOTE During the armrest tilting stage (complete tilting upwards or
downwards), make sure the cover with lining is always closed
correctly.

The pretensioner may be used only once. Once it has
been activated, contact Alfa Romeo Authorised
Workshops to have it replaced. Consult the plate in the
glove compartment to check the status of the device. Contact Alfa
Romeo Authorised Workshops to have the device replaced as
this date approaches.Operations which lead to knocks, vibrations or localised
heating (over 100°C for a maximum of 6 hours) in the area
around the pretensioners may cause damage or trigger
them. These devices are not affected by vibrations caused by
irregularities of the road surface or low obstacles such as kerbs, etc.
Contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services for any assistance necessary.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
THE SEAT BELTSComply with (and ensure that all the other occupants of the car comply
with) the local laws in force regarding the use of seat belts. Always
fasten the seat belts before starting off.
Seat belts must also be worn by pregnant women: the risk of injury in
the event of an accident is reduced for them and the unborn child if
they are wearing a seat belt.
Pregnant women must position the lower part of the belt very low
down so that it passes over the pelvis and under the abdomen fig.
104.
The belt must not be twisted. The upper part must pass over the
shoulder and cross the chest diagonally. The lower part must adhere to
the pelvis fig. 105, not to the abdomen of the occupant. Never use
devices (clips, clamps, etc.) to hold the seat belt away from your body.
For maximum protection, keep the backrest upright,
lean back into it and make sure the seat belt fits
closely across your chest and pelvis. Always fasten the
seat belts on both the front and the rear seats! Travelling without
wearing seat belts will increase the risk of serious injury and
even death in the event of an accident.

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 inflation.Never lean your head, arms or elbows out of the
window.
IMPORTANT
Do not wash the seats with water or pressurised steam (by hand or at
automatic seat washing stations).
The front airbags and/or side bags may be deployed if the car is
subject to violent impacts involving the underbody area (e.g. violent
impacts against steps or kerbs, big holes or dips in the road etc.).When the airbag deploys it emits a small amount of dust: the dust is
harmless and does not indicate the beginning of a fire. The dust may
irritate the skin and eyes however: in this case, wash with neutral soap
and water.
All operations on airbags (inspection, repair and replacement) must be
carried out by Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.
If the car is to be scrapped, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services to
have the airbag system deactivated.
Pretensioners and airbags are deployed in different ways, according to
the type of impact. Failure to deploy of one of the devices does not
necessarily indicate a system malfunction.
If the
warning light does not switch on when the
key is turned to MAR, or stays on while driving (on
some versions together with a message on the display)
there may be a fault in the restraint systems. In this case, airbags
or pretensioners may not be activated in the case of an accident
or (in a lesser number of cases) they may be activated
incorrectly. Before proceeding, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized
Services to have the system checked immediately.
The expiry dates of the explosive charge and the clock
spring are shown on a specific label contained in the
glove compartment. As these dates approach, contact
Alfa Romeo Authorised Workshops.
