2017 Alfa Romeo MiTo seats

SIDE AIRBAGS (SIDE BAG -
WINDOW BAG)
To increase protection of occupants in
case of side collision, the car is equipped
with front side bags for pelvis, chest
protection (side bags) for the driver and
the passenger and airbags protecting the
head of front and rear occupants (window
bags).
Non-activation of side bags in other
types of collisions (front collisions, rear
shunts, roll-overs, etc.) is not a system
malfunction.
FRONT SIDE AIRBAGS (SIDE BAGS)
These comprise two bags located in the
front seat backrests fig. 63 which
protect the pelvic and chest area of the
occupants in the event of a side impact of
medium-high severity.
SIDE AIRBAGS FOR HEAD PROTECTION
(WINDOW BAGS)
These consist of two “drop-down”
cushions, housed behind the side trim of
the roof and covered with finishing
elements fig. 64.
They are designed to protect the head of
front and rear occupants in the event of a
side collision, thanks to the wide cushion
inflation surface.
The deployment of side bags in the event
of side impacts of low severity is not
required.
The airbags are not deployed in the event
of impact of low severity (for which the
restraining action of the seat belts is
sufficient). It is therefore always
necessary to wear seat belts.
In the event of a side impact, the system
provides best protection if the passengersits on the seat in a correct position, thus
allowing correct window bag deployment.
IMPORTANT NOTES
82) 83) 84) 85) 86) 87) 88) 89) 90) 91) 92)
Do not wash the seats with water or
pressurised steam (wash by hand or at
automatic seat washing stations).
The front and/or side bags may activate
in the event of sharp knocks to the
underbody of the car (e.g. impact with
steps, pavements, potholes or road
bumps etc.).
When the airbag deploys it emits a small
amount of dust: the dust is harmless and
does not indicate the beginning of a fire.
However, the dust may irritate the skin
and eyes: in this case, wash with neutral
soap and water.
Airbag checking, repair and replacement
must be carried out at an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
If the car is scrapped, have the airbag
system deactivated at an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
Pretensioners and airbags are deployed
according to different logic on the basis
of the type of collision. Failure to activate
one or more of the devices does not
indicate a system malfunction.

SAFETY

INTERIOR
143) 144) 145)
Periodically check the cleanliness of the
interior, beneath the mats, which could
cause oxidation of the sheet metal.
SEATS AND FABRIC PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a
vacuum cleaner. It is advisable to use a
moist brush on velvet upholstery. Rub the
seats with a sponge moistened with a
solution of water and neutral detergent.
CLEANING ALCANTARA SEATS
Alcantara trim can be treated and
cleaned easily in the same way as the
other trims. The same indications given
for cleaning fabrics are also therefore
applicable for this trim.
LEATHER SEATS
(where provided)
Remove the dry dirt with a chamois or
slightly damp cloth, without exerting too
much pressure. Remove any liquid or
grease stains using an absorbent dry
cloth, without rubbing. Then clean with a
soft cloth or buckskin cloth dampened
with water and mild soap. If the stain
persists, use specific products and
observe the instructions carefully.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol. Make
sure that the cleaning products usedcontain no alcohol or alcohol derivatives,
even in small quantities.
PLASTIC AND COATED PARTS
46)
Clean interior plastic parts with a damp
cloth (if possible made from microfibre),
and a solution of water and neutral,
non-abrasive detergent. To clean oily or
persistent stains, use specific products
free from solvents and designed to
maintain the original appearance and
colour of the components.
Remove any dust using a microfibre
cloth, if necessary moistened with water.
The use of paper tissues is not
recommended as these may leave
residues.
GENUINE LEATHER PARTS
(where provided)
Use only water and mild soap to clean
these parts. Never use alcohol or
alcohol-based products. Before using a
specific product for cleaning interiors,
make sure that it does not contain
alcohol and/or alcohol based substances.
WARNING
143)Never use flammable products, such as
petrol ether or rectified petrol to clean the
inside of the car. The electrostatic charges
which are generated by rubbing during the
cleaning operation may cause a fire.
144)Do not keep aerosol cans in the car:
they might explode. Aerosol cans must not
be exposed to a temperature exceeding
50°C. When the vehicle is exposed to
sunlight, the internal temperature can
greatly exceed this value.
145)There must be no obstacles on the
floor underneath the pedals; make sure that
mats are always flat and do not interfere
with the pedals.
IMPORTANT
46)Never use alcohol, petrols and
derivatives to clean the dashboard and
instrument panel lens.
