IMPORTANT The backrest is correctly secured when the red band B fig.
91 on backrest folding handle A disappears. This red band indicates
that the backrest is not secured.
IMPORTANT When putting the rear seat back in its normal position,
make sure that the seat belts are positioned so that they are ready
to use.
Make sure that the backrest is correctly secured on
both sides (red bands B 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, which warns the front and back seat
passengers via acoustic and visual signals if their seat belts have not
been fastened.
Contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services to deactivate this system
permanently. The SBR system can only be reactivated via the display
Set Up Menu (see the “Menu Options” paragraph in the “Knowing
your car” section).

TOWING TRAILERSIMPORTANT
The vehicle must be provided with a type-approved tow hook and
adequate electrical system to tow caravans or trailers. Installation must
be carried out by a specialist.
Fit any specific and/or additional rear view mirrors as specified by the
Highway Code.
Remember that, when towing a trailer, steep hills are harder to climb,
braking distances increase and overtaking takes longer relative to
the overall weight of the trailer.
Engage a low gear when driving downhill, rather than constantly using
the brake.
The weight of the trailer reduces the load capacity of the car by the
same amount. Consider the weight at full load, including accessories
and luggage, to make sure you do not exceed the maximum towable
weight (shown in the registration document).
Respect the speed limits specific to each country for vehicles towing
trailers. In any case do not exceed 100 km/h.
INSTALLING A TOW HOOKContact Alfa Romeo Authorised Services to install a tow hook.
The ABS with which the car is equipped will not control
the braking system of the trailer. Particular caution is
therefore required on slippery roads.Do not, under any circumstances, modify the vehicle's
braking system to control the trailer breaking system.
The towing breaking system must be completely
independent of the vehicle's hydraulic system.
