2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio airbag

Redundant Air Bag Warning
Light
If a fault with the Air Bag Warning
Light is detected, which could affect the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS),
the Redundant Air Bag Warning Light
will illuminate on the instrument panel.
The Redundant Air Bag Warning Light
will stay on until the fault is cleared. In
addition, a single chime will sound to
alert you that the Redundant Air Bag
Warning Light has come on and a fault
has been detected. If the Redundant Air
Bag Warning Light comes on
intermittently or remains on while driving
have an authorized dealer service the
vehicle immediately. For additional
information regarding the Redundant Air
Bag Warning Light, refer to “Warning
Lights And Messages” in the “Getting
To Know Your Instrument Panel”
section of this manual.
Front Air Bags
This vehicle has front air bags and
lap/shoulder belts for both the driver
and front passenger. The front air bags
are a supplement to the seat belt
restraint systems. The driver front air
bag is mounted in the center of the
steering wheel. The passenger front air
bag is mounted in the instrument panel,
above the glove compartment. The
words “SRS AIRBAG” or “AIRBAG” are
embossed on the air bag covers.
Warning!
Being too close to the steering wheel or
instrument panel during front air bag
deployment could cause serious injury,
including death. Air bags need room to
inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending
your arms to reach the steering wheel or
instrument panel.
Never place a rear-facing child restraint
in front of an air bag. A deploying
passenger front air bag can cause death or
serious injury to a child 12 years or
younger, including a child in a rear-facing
child restraint.
Only use a rear-facing child restraint in a
vehicle with a rear seat.
Driver And Passenger Front Air
Bag Features
The Advanced Front Air Bag system
has multistage driver and front
passenger air bags. This system
provides output appropriate to the
severity and type of collision as
determined by the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC), which may receive
information from the front impact
sensors (if equipped) or other system
components.

SAFETY

Passenger Knee Air Bag mounted in the
instrument panel below the glove
compartment. The Supplemental Knee
Air Bags provide enhanced protection
during a frontal impact by working
together with the seat belts,
pretensioners, and front air bags.Supplemental Side Air Bags
Your vehicle is equipped with two types
of side air bags:
1. Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side
Air Bags (SABs): Located in the
outboard side of the front seats. The
SABs are marked with a “SRS AIRBAG”
or “AIRBAG” label sewn into the
outboard side of the seats.
The SABs may help to reduce the risk
of occupant injury during certain side
impacts and/or vehicle rollover events,
in addition to the injury reduction
potential provided by the seat belts and
body structure.When the SAB deploys, it opens the
seam on the outboard side of the
seatback’s trim cover. The inflating SAB
deploys through the seat seam into the
space between the occupant and the
door. The SAB moves at a very high
speed and with such a high force that it
could injure occupants if they are not
seated properly, or if items are
positioned in the area where the SAB
inflates. Children are at an even greater
risk of injury from a deploying air bag.
Warning!
Do not use accessory seat covers or place
objects between you and the Side Air
Bags; the performance could be adversely
affected and/or objects could be pushed
into you, causing serious injury.
2. Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtains (SABICs): Located above the
side windows. The trim covering the
SABICs is labeled “SRS AIRBAG” or
“AIRBAG.”

SAFETY

Climate control system
Using the climate control system will
increase consumption: use standard
ventilation when the temperature
outside permits.
Devices for aerodynamic control
The use of non-certified devices for
aerodynamic control may adversely
affect air drag and consumption levels.
Driving Style
Starting
Do not warm up the engine at low or
high revs when the vehicle is stationary;
this causes the engine to warm up
more slowly, thereby increasing fuel
consumption and emissions. It is
therefore advisable to drive off
immediately, slowly, avoiding high
speeds: by doing this the engine will
warm up more quickly.
Unnecessary Actions
Avoid revving up when starting at traffic
lights or before stopping the engine.
This action is unnecessary and causes
increased fuel consumption and
pollution.
Gear Selection
Use a high gear when traffic and road
conditions allow it. Using a low gear for
faster acceleration will increase fuel
consumption. Improper use of a high
gear increases consumption, emissions
and engine wear.Max. Speed
Fuel consumption considerably
increases as speed increases. Maintain
a constant speed, avoiding
unnecessary braking and acceleration,
which cost in terms of both fuel
consumption and emissions.
Acceleration
Accelerating violently severely affects
consumption and emissions:
acceleration should be gradual and
should not exceed the maximum
torque.
Conditions Of Use
Cold Starting
Short trips and frequent cold starts will
not allow the engine to reach optimum
operating temperature. This results in a
significant increase in consumption
levels (from +15 to +30% in city driving)
and emissions.
Traffic And Road Conditions
High fuel consumption is caused by
heavy traffic, for instance when
travelling in traffic with frequent use of
low gears or in cities with many traffic
lights. Winding mountain roads and
rough road surfaces also adversely
affect consumption.
Stops In Traffic
During prolonged stops (e.g. railway
crossings) switch off the engine.
Transporting
Passengers
Warning!
It is extremely dangerous to leave
children in a parked vehicle when the
temperature outside is very high. The heat
inside the passenger compartment may
have serious, or even fatal, consequences.
Never travel in the trunk of the vehicle.
In the event of an accident, anyone inside
the trunk would be at greater risk of serious
or even fatal injury.
Ensure that all the occupants of the
vehicle wear their seat belts correctly and
that any children are positioned correctly
on the dedicated child restraint systems.
Transporting Animals
The intervention of the airbags may be
dangerous for an animal on the front
seat. It is therefore advised to arrange
animals on the rear seat inside
dedicated cages restrained by the
vehicle’s seat belts.
Keep in mind that, in the event of a
sudden braking or an accident, an
inadequately restrained animal may be
projected within the passenger
compartment, risking injury to the
animal itself and the other occupants of
the vehicle.
