Airbag failure (red)
Turning the key to the MAR position illuminates the warning light, but it
should switch off after a few seconds.
The warning light stays on constantly if there is a failure in the airbag
system.
The display will show the dedicated message.
If, when the key is turned to MAR, the
warning
light does not come on or if it stays on with the vehicle
in motion (together with the message on the display)
there could be a failure in the restraint systems; under these
circumstances the airbags or pretensioners may not be triggered
in the event of an accident or, more rarely, they could be
triggered accidentally. Before proceeding, contact Alfa Romeo
Authorized Services to have the system checked immediately.
The failure of the
warning light is indicated by the
flashing, for more than the normal 4 seconds, of the
front passenger airbag deactivated warning light
.
In addition, the airbag system automatically disables the airbags
on the passenger’s side (front airbag and side bags for
versions/markets, where provided). In this case, the
warning
light may not indicate a fault in the restraint systems. Before
proceeding, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services to have the
system checked immediately.
Passenger side airbag/side
bags deactivated (amber)
The
warning light switches on when the front passenger side airbag
and side bag are disabled.
With front passenger airbag on, when the ignition key is turned to
MAR, the
warning light switches on constantly for several seconds,
flashes for another few seconds and then should switch off.A failure of the
warning light is indicated by the
warning light switching on. In addition, the airbag
system automatically disables the airbags on the
passenger's side (front and side bags where provided). Before
proceeding, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services to have the
system checked immediately.
