If you do have a collision which deploys
the air bags, any or all of the following
may occur:
The air bag material may sometimes
cause abrasions and/or skin reddening
to the occupants as the air bags deploy
and unfold. The abrasions are similar to
friction rope burns or those you might
get sliding along a carpet or gymnasium
floor. They are not caused by contact
with chemicals. They are not permanent
and normally heal quickly. However, if
you haven’t healed significantly within a
few days, or if you have any blistering,
see your doctor immediately.
As the air bags deflate, you may see
some smoke-like particles. The
particles are a normal by-product of the
process that generates the non-toxic
gas used for air bag inflation. These
airborne particles may irritate the skin,
eyes, nose, or throat. If you have skin or
eye irritation, rinse the area with cool
water. For nose or throat irritation, move
to fresh air. If the irritation continues,
see your doctor. If these particles settle
on your clothing, follow the garment
manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.
Do not drive your vehicle after the air
bags have deployed. If you are involved
in another collision, the air bags will not
be in place to protect you.
Warning!
Deployed air bags and seat belt
pretensioners cannot protect you in
another collision. Have the air bags, seat
belt pretensioners, and the seat belt
retractor assemblies replaced by an
authorized dealer immediately. Also, have
the Occupant Restraint Controller System
serviced as well.
Note:
Air bag covers may not be obvious
in the interior trim, but they will open
during air bag deployment.
After any collision, the vehicle
should be taken to an authorized
dealer immediately.
Enhanced Accident Response
System
In the event of an impact, if the
communication network remains intact,
and the power remains intact,
depending on the nature of the event,
the ORC will determine whether to have
the Enhanced Accident Response
System perform the following functions:
Cut off fuel to the engine.
Flash hazard lights as long as the
battery has power or until the hazard
light button is pressed. The hazard lights can be deactivated by pressing
the hazard light button.
Turn on the interior lights, which
remain on as long as the battery has
power or for 15 minutes from the
intervention of the Enhanced Accident
Response System.
Unlock the power door locks.
Turn off the Fuel Pump Heater
(if equipped).
Turn off the HVAC Blower Motor.
Close the HVAC Circulation Door.
Enhanced Accident Response
System Reset Procedure
After the event occurs, when the
system is active, a message regarding
fuel cutoff is displayed. Turn the ignition
switch from ignition AVV/START or
ON/RUN to ignition STOP/OFF.
Carefully check the vehicle for fuel leaks
in the engine compartment and on the
ground near the engine compartment
and fuel tank before resetting the
system and starting the engine.
Depending on the nature of the event
the left and right turn signal lights,
located in the instrument panel, may
both be blinking and will continue to
blink. In order to move your vehicle to
the side of the road, you must follow
the system reset procedure.

Maintaining Your Air Bag
System
Warning!
Modifications to any part of the air bag
system could cause it to fail when you
need it. You could be injured if the air bag
system is not there to protect you. Do not
modify the components or wiring, including
adding any kind of badges or stickers to
the steering wheel hub trim cover or the
upper right side of the instrument panel.
Do not modify the front bumper, vehicle
body structure, or add aftermarket side
steps or running boards.
It is dangerous to try to repair any part
of the air bag system yourself. Be sure to
tell anyone who works on your vehicle that
it has an air bag system.
Do not attempt to modify any part of
your air bag system. The air bag may
inflate accidentally or may not function
properly if modifications are made. Take
your vehicle to an authorized dealer for any
air bag system service. If your seat,
including your trim cover and cushion,
needs to be serviced in any way (including
removal or loosening/tightening of seat
attachment bolts), take the vehicle to your
authorized dealer. Only manufacturer
approved seat accessories may be used.
If it is necessary to modify the air bag
system for persons with disabilities,
contact your authorized dealer.

HAZARD WARNING
LIGHTS
The Hazard Warning flasher switch is
located in the switch bank below the
radio screen.Push the switch once
to turn the hazard
warning flasher on.
When the switch is
activated, all
directional turn signals
will flash on and off to warn oncoming
traffic of an emergency. Push the switch
a second time to turn the hazard
warning flashers off.
This is an emergency warning system
and it should not be used when the
vehicle is in motion. Use it when your
vehicle is disabled and is creating a
safety hazard for other motorists.
When you must leave the vehicle to
seek assistance, the hazard warning
flashers will continue to operate even
though the ignition is placed in the OFF
position.
Note:
With extended use the hazard warning
flashers may discharge your battery.
Caution!
Prolonged use of the hazard warning
flashers may discharge the vehicle’s
battery.
BULB
REPLACEMENT
General InstructionsBefore replacing a bulb, check the
contacts for oxidation.
Replace blown bulbs with others of
the same type and power.
After replacing a headlight bulb,
always check its alignment.
When a light is not working, check
that the corresponding fuse is intact
before changing the bulb. For the
location of fuses, refer to “Fuses” in this
chapter.
Note:
In some particular climate conditions,
such as low temperature, humidity, or
after washing the car, a thin
condensation layer may form on the
internal surfaces of the front and rear
headlights. This condensation will
disappear after switching on the
headlights.08016S0001EMHazard Warning Switch

SCHEDULED
SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the vehicle
under the best conditions.
For this reason, Alfa Romeo has
planned a series of checks and services
for your vehicle at fixed intervals based
on distance and time, as described in
the Scheduled Servicing Plan.
Before each service, it is always
necessary to carefully follow the
instructions in the Scheduled Servicing
Plan (e.g. periodically check level of
fluids, tire pressure, etc.).
Scheduled Servicing is offered by an
authorized dealer according to a set
time schedule. If, during each
operation, in addition to the ones
scheduled, the need arises for further
replacements or repairs, these may be
carried out with owners explicit consent
only.
Note:
Scheduled Servicing intervals are
required by the Manufacturer. Failure to
have them carried out may invalidate
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
You are advised to inform your
authorized dealer of any small operating
irregularities without waiting for the next
service.
Periodic Checks

( 1,000 km) or before long trips check
and, if necessary, top off:
Engine coolant level.

your authorized dealer as soon as
possible).
Windshield washer fluid level.
Tire inflation pressure and condition.
Operation of lighting system
(headlights, direction indicators, hazard
warning lights, etc.).

distances at low speeds or long periods
of inactivity.
In the event of a long period of
inactivity. The following checks must be carried
out more often than indicated in the
Scheduled Servicing Plan:

dusty and off-road environment or is
operated predominately at idle or only
very low engine RPM’s. This type of
vehicle use is considered Severe Duty.
