door locking/unlocking button on
the dashboard.
ELECTRIC WINDOWS
These operate when the ignition key is
turned to MAR-ON and for about three
minutes after the ignition key is turned
to STOP or removed unless one of the
doors is opened.
The buttons are located on the central
tunnel.

Operation
A - Open/close left window;
B - Open/close right window;
Push the corresponding buttons to
open/close the desired window.
When one of the two buttons is
pressed briefly, the window moves in
stages; if the button is held down to
open, "continuous automatic" operation
is activated.
If the button is pressed again thewindow will stop in its current position.
If the button is pressed for several
seconds, the window lowers
automatically (only with ignition key in
MAR-ON position).
Continuous automatic operation
(for versions/markets, where provided)
This is activated by pressing one of the
two buttons for longer than half a
second. The window stops when it
reaches the end of travel position, or
when the button is pressed again.
It can be used on both the driver side
and passenger side, only for lowering
the window.
Electric window system
initialisation
For versions/markets where provided,
after a break in power supply for the
control units (battery replaced or
disconnected or protective fuses for the
electric window control units replaced),
the automatic operation of the windows
must be restored.
The restoration procedure must be
performed as described below with the
doors closed:
completely open the driver's door
window keeping the operating button
pressed for at least three seconds after
the (lower) end of travel position is
reached;
completely raise the driver side
window and hold the button down for
at least 3 seconds once the (upper) end

Main safety rules to be
followed when carrying
children
Follow the instructions supplied with
the child restraint system itself, which
the manufacturer must provide. Keep
the instructions in the car along with the
other documents and this handbook.
Do not use child restraint systems
without instructions;
always check that the seat belt is
well fastened by pulling on it;
only one child is to be strapped into
each restraint system; never carry two
children using one child restraint
system;
always check that seat belts do not
rest on the child’s neck;
while travelling, do not let the child sit
incorrectly or release the belts;
never carry children on your lap, even
newborns. No-one could restrain them
in the event of an accident;
in the event of an accident, replace
the child restraint system with a new
one.
WARNING
71)The figures are only examples for fitting
purposes. Fit the child restraint system
according to the instructions, which must
be included.
FRONT AIRBAGS
DRIVER AND
PASSENGER FRONT
AIRBAGS
The car features multistage front
airbags (“Smart bag system”) for driver
and passenger.
The front driver/passenger airbags are
designed to protect occupants in the
event of frontal impacts of medium-high
severity, by placing the bag between
the occupant and the steering wheel or
dashboard.
Therefore, non-activation of the front
airbags in other types of collisions (side
collisions, rear shunts, rollovers, etc.)
does not indicate a system malfunction.
Airbags are not a replacement of but
complementary to the seat belts, which
you are recommended to always wear.
In the event of impact, those not
wearing a seat belt are projected
forwards and may come into contact
with the bag which is still inflating. The
protection offered by the bag is
compromised in these circumstances.
72)
Front airbags may not activate in the
following situations:
frontal impacts against highly
deformable objects not involving the
front surface of the car (e.g. wing
collision against guard rail);
jamming of the car underneath othervehicles or protective barriers (e.g.
underneath a truck or a guard rail); in
this case, the bags would offer no
additional protection with respect to the
seat belt and their deployment would
be inappropriate. In these cases,
non-deployment does not indicate a
system malfunction.
Driver front airbag
This is located in a dedicated
compartment in the centre of the
steering wheel fig. 71.

Passenger front airbag
This is located in a dedicated
compartment in the dashboard fig. 72.

SAFETY

WARNING
72)Do not apply stickers or other objects
to the steering wheel or the passenger side
airbag cover. Do not place objects on the
passenger side of the dashboard because
these could interfere with the correct
opening of the passenger airbag and
cause injury to occupants.
73)Always drive keeping your hands on
the steering wheel rim so the airbag can
inflate freely if necessary. Do not drive with
your body bent forward. Keep your back
straight against the backrest.
74)Instructions for deactivating the front
passenger airbag can be found in the
"Menu Options" paragraph of the
"Knowing the instrument panel" chapter.
Please note that under these conditions
the airbag will NOT deploy when required
(accident).
75)Do not rest your head, arms or elbows
on the door to prevent injury during airbag
deployment.
76)Never lean your head, arms or elbows
out of the window.
77)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 a dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership
to have the system checked immediately.78)Do not travel carrying objects on your
lap, in front of your chest or between your
lips (pipe, pencils, etc.): they could cause
severe injury if the airbag is deployed.
79)If the car has been subject to theft,
attempted theft, vandalism, or flooding,
have the airbag system inspected at a
dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership.
80)The airbags may also be deployed
when the car is not moving, if the key is
inserted and turned to MAR even when the
engine is off, if the car is hit by another
moving vehicle. Also remember that no
safety device (airbags or pretensioners) will
activate in the event of impact when the
key is at STOP. Non-deployment of these
devices under these circumstances does
not therefore indicate a system
malfunction.
81)When the ignition key is turned to
MAR, the
warning light comes on
constantly for the first 4 seconds. Then, if
the warning light remains on, this means
the passenger's protection has been
deactivated; if the warning light switches
off, instead, the passenger's protection is
enabled.
82)The front airbag is designed to be
deployed for impacts of a greater intensity
than for the pretensioners. For impacts
whose intensity falls between the two
levels, normally, only the pretensioners will
be activated.
83)The airbag does not replace seat belts
but increases their efficiency. Because front
airbags are not deployed for low-speed
frontal impacts, side collisions, rear shunts
or rollovers, occupants are protected only
by their seat belts, which must always be
fastened.

REPAIRING A WHEEL
GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS
The car is equipped with a quick tyre
repair device called the "Fix&Go
automatic" kit.
92) 94)

REPLACING FUSES
GENERAL INFORMATION
Fuses protect the electrical system:
they intervene (blow) in the event of a
fault or improper action on the system.
When a device does not work, check
the condition of its fuse: the filament A
fig. 112 must be intact.
If it is not, replace the blown fuse with
another with the same amperage (same
colour).
110) 111) 112) 113) 114)17)
B = intact fuse;
C = fuse with damaged filament.
FUSE LOCATION
The fuses are grouped in two fuse
boxes located in the engine and
passenger compartments.
Engine compartment fuse box
This is located next to the battery
fig. 113: to access the fuses, undo
screws A and remove cover B.The number identifying the electrical
component corresponding to each fuse
is shown on the back of the cover.
After replacing the fuse, make sure you
close cover B on the fuse box.
18)
Dashboard fuse box
This is located under the dashboard in
the area in front of the passenger seat.
To access the fuse box fig. 116 remove
the protective panel, following the
procedure described below:
undo the four screws A fig. 115;
to locate the fifth locking screw,
remove block B and remove plastic
cover C;
at this point undo the fifth screw D
and remove the protective panel to
