HEAD RESTRAINTSFRONTHead restraints are adjustable in height and they lock automatically
into the desired position:
❒upwards adjustment: raise the head restraint until it clicks into place;
❒downwards adjustment: press button A fig. 24 and lower the head
restraint.
Head restraints must be adjusted so that the head,
rather than the neck, rests on them. Only in this case
can they protect your head correctly.
To remove the head restraints:
❒raise the head restraints to their maximum height;
❒press buttons A and B fig. 24, then remove the head restraints by
pulling them upwards.
“Anti-Whiplash” device
The head restraints are equipped with an “Anti-Whiplash” device,
which reduces the distance between head and head restraint in the
event of a rear impact, thus mitigating the “whiplash” effect.
The head restraint may move when the backrest is pressed by the
occupant's torso or hand: this behaviour is caused by the system and
should not be considered a malfunction.

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.
