WARNING
24) A heavy load that has not been
secured may cause serious
injuries to passengers in the event
of an accident.
25) If you are travelling in an area
with limited opportunities for
refuelling and you wish to bring
petrol with you in a petrol can, you
must do so in compliance with
current regulations and using an
approved can, appropriately
secured to the load securing
attachments. However, the risks
of fire in case of collision increase
anyway.

60) Parking and other dangerous
manoeuvres are, however, always
the driver’s responsibility. While
carrying out these manoeuvres,
always make sure that no people
(especially children) or animals are
in the area concerned. The
parking sensors are an aid for the
driver, but the driver must never
allow their attention to lapse
during potentially dangerous
manoeuvres, even those executed
at low speeds.
REFUELLING THE
CARStop the engine before refuelling.
PETROL ENGINES
Only use unleaded petrol 95 R.O.N.
compliant with the European
specification EN228. The petrol octane
rating (R.O.N.) must not be lower than
95. In order to prevent damage to
the catalytic converter never introduce
even the smallest amount of leaded
petrol, even in the event of an
emergency.
DIESEL ENGINES
Use only diesel fuel compliant with
European specification EN590. The use
of other products or mixtures may
damage the engine beyond repair and
consequently invalidate the warranty,
due to the damage caused.Operation at low
temperatures
If the outside temperature is very low,
the diesel thickens due to the formation
of paraffin clots with consequent
defective operation of the fuel supply
system.
In order to avoid these problems,
different types of diesel are distributed
according to the season: summer type,
winter type and arctic type (cold,
mountain areas).
If refuelling with diesel whose
specifications are not suitable for the
usage temperature, it is advisable
to mix TUTELA DIESEL ART additive in
the proportions shown on the container
with the fuel. Pour the additive into
the tank before the fuel.
When using or parking the car for a
long time in the mountains or cold
areas, it is advisable to refuel using
locally available fuel. In this case, it is
also advisable to keep the tank over
50% full.

On removal of the belt, if it jams, let it
rewind for a short stretch, then pull
it out again without jerking.
To unfasten the seat belts, press button
C and guide the seat belt with your

perfectly normal. Furthermore, the
retractor mechanism locks the belt if it
is pulled sharply or in the event of
sudden braking, collisions or
high-speed bends.
The rear seat is fitted with inertia seat
belts with three anchor points and a
retractor.
Wear the rear seat belts as illustrated in
fig. 107.
IMPORTANT The backrest is correctly
secured when the red band B fig.
108 on backrest folding handle A

seats back to their normal position,
make sure the seat belts are positioned
so they are ready to use.
WARNING
70) Never press button C fig. 106
while travelling.
71) Remember that, in the event of
an accident, the rear seat
passengers not wearing seat belts
are exposed to a very serious
risk and also represent a serious
danger for the front seat
occupants.

correctly secured on both sides
("red bands" B fig. 108 not visible)
to prevent it from moving forward
in the event of sharp braking,
causing injuries to occupants.
SBR SYSTEM (Seat
Belt Reminder)This system comprises an acoustic
warning which, in conjunction with the
warning lights flashing on the
instrument panel, advises the front seat
passengers if their seat belt has not
been fastened.
On some versions there is also a panel
(provided as an alternative to the
warning light on the instrument panel)
located above the interior rear view
mirror, which warns the front and back
seat passengers through acoustic
and visual signals if their seat belts have
not been fastened.
Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership to
deactivate this acoustic warning
permanently.
The acoustic warning can be
reactivated at any time through the
Setup Menu (see "Menu options"
paragraph in the “Knowing the
instrument panel” chapter).
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).

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 restraint systems for each weight
group. These devices are
recommended having been specifically
tested for Alfa Romeo cars.
WARNING
77) SEVERE DANGER. When an
active passenger airbag is fitted,
DO NOT install rear facing child
restraint systems on the front
seat. Deployment of the airbag in
an accident could cause fatal
injuries to the baby regardless of
the severity of the impact. It is
advisable to always carry children
in a child restraint system on the
rear seat, which is the most
protected position in the event of
a collision.
78) On the sun visor there is a label
with suitable symbols
remembering that it is compulsory
to deactivate the airbag if a rear
facing child restraint system is
fitted. Always comply with the
instructions on the passenger's
side sun visor (see the "Front
airbag" paragraph).
