LIGHT BEAM DIRECTION
The correct orientation of the headlights is important for the driver's
comfort and safety as well as for all other road users. This is also
covered by a specific rule of the highway code.
The headlights must be correctly aligned to ensure the best visibility
conditions for yourself and others when driving with lights on. To check
and, if necessary, adjust, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services.
HEADLIGHT ALIGNMENT CORRECTOR
This device works with the ignition key in the MAR position and the
dipped headlights on.

ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS ABROAD
The dipped headlights are aligned to comply with the regulations of

driving direction, to avoid dazzling the drivers on the other side of the
road, you need to cover areas of the headlight according to the
Highway code of the country you are travelling in.

Make sure that the backrest is correctly secured on
both sides (red bands B fig. 91 not visible) to prevent it
from moving forward in the event of sharp braking,
causing injuries to occupants.SBR SYSTEM (Seat Belt
Reminder)
It consists of an acoustic warning which, switching on thewarning
lights in the trim located on the internal rear view mirror (see fig.
92), warns passengers in the front and rear seats that the seat belt is
not fastened.
Contact Alfa Romeo Authorised Workshops to deactivate the SBR
system for a long period.
The SBR system can be reactivated at any time through the Setup Menu
only (see "Menu Items" in "Knowing your car" section).
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).

NOTE On versions equipped with sports front seats, the passenger side
seat belt fastened indication (warning light 1 for RHD versions or
warning light 5 for LHD versions) will never be displayed.
FRONT SEATS (warning light no. 1 =
driver and no. 5 = passenger)
Driver
If the driver is the only occupant and their seat belt is not fastened,
when 20 km/h is exceeded or when travelling at a speed between 10
and 20 km/h for longer than 5 seconds, an acoustic signal cycle
will be started for the front seats (continuous acoustic signal for
6 seconds followed by a 90 second beep). The warning light will flash.
The warning lights will stay on constantly at the end of the cycle until
the engine is stopped. The acoustic signal will be interrupted
immediately when the driver’s seat belt is fastened and the warning
light will turn green.
The reminder cycle (acoustic and visual) will be repeated as described
above and the red warning light will flash if the seat belt is unfastened
again while travelling.
Passenger
A similar situation applies to the front passenger, with the difference
that the warning light turns green and the indication is also interrupted
when the passenger leaves the car.
If both front seat belts are unfastened a few seconds apart while the
car is travelling, the acoustic signal will refer to the most recent event
and the two warning lights will proceed with the visual indication
independently.
REAR SEATS (warning light no. 2, no.
3 and no. 4)
For the rear seats, the reminder cycle is only activated when any seat
belt is unfastened (flashing red).
In this condition, the warning light for the seat belt which has been
unfastened will flash (red) for approximately 30 seconds. An acoustic
signal is also emitted.
The visual indication (flashing red) will start and stop independently for
each warning light if several seat belts are unfastened. The warning
light will become green when the relevant seat belt is fastened again.
The rear seat warning lights will switch off, regardless of the state
of the belt (red or green) approximately 30 seconds after the last
signal.
IMPORTANT
The warning lights are all off if all seat belts (front and rear) are
already fastened when the ignition key is turned to MAR.
All warning lights switch on when at least one belt changes from
fastened to unfastened or vice versa.

For maximum protection, keep the backrest upright,
lean back into it and make sure the seat belt fits
closely across your chest and pelvis. Always fasten the
seat belts for both the front and rear seats! Travelling without
wearing seat belts will increase the risk of serious injury and
even death in the event of an accident.Each seat belt must be used by only one person. Never travel with a
child sitting on a passenger’s lap and a single belt to protect them both
fig. 95. In general, do not place any objects between the person and
belt.
Removing or otherwise tampering with safety belt and
pretensioner components is strictly prohibited. Any
operations on these components must be performed by
qualified and authorised technicians. Always contact Alfa Romeo
Authorized Services.
If the belt has been subjected to high levels of stress,
for example after an accident, it should be changed
completely together with the attachments, attachment
fixing screws and the pretensioner. In fact, even if the belt has no
visible defects, it may have lost its resilience.

INSTALLING A UNIVERSAL ISOFIX
CHILD SEAT
Proceed as follows:
❒secure the child seat to the dedicated lower metal rings A fig. 101,
positioned between the backrest and the cushion of the rear seat;
❒fix the upper belt (available together with the seat) to the special
attachments B fig. 102 located in the rear part of the backrest.
It is possible to have a mixed assembly of traditional seat and
Universal Isofix ones. Remember that when using a Universal Isofix
child seat, you can only use type-approved child seats with the
marking ECE R44 (R44/03 or superior) “Universal Isofix”.
The universal Isofix "Duo Plus" child seat is available from
Lineaccessori Alfa Romeo.
For further details on child seat installation and/or use, refer to the
instruction manual provided with the child seat.
If a Universal Isofix child seat is not fixed to all three
anchorages, the child seat will not be able to protect
the child correctly. In a crash, the child could be
seriously or fatally injured.
Fit the child seat only when the car is stationary. The
child seat is correctly secured to the brackets when you
hear the click. Follow the instructions for fitting,
removing and positioning that the manufacturer must supply
with the child seat.
