ALARMSYSTEM
(for versions/markets, where provided)
ALARM ACTIVATION
Activation of the alarm triggers the
acoustic warning and the direction
indicators.

Manufacturer to meet the requirements
of the various countries where the
vehicle is marketed.

Except on some versions for specific
markets, the system produces a visual
and acoustic warning and enables door
locking.
ALARM SELF-ACTIVATION(for versions/markets, where provided)
If the alarm has not been activated using
the remote control, approximately
30 seconds after the key is turned to the
STOP position and the last time one of
the doors or tailgate was opened and
reclosed, the alarm is activated
automatically.This condition is indicated by the
intermittent illumination of the LED on
the alarm deactivation button on the roof
light and by the activation indications
described previously.
To deactivate the alarm, press the button

roof can be moved manually when there
is no power supply (opening/closing of
the front glass panel) by carrying out the
following operations:
remove the protective cap 1
fig. 28located on the internal lining,

WARNING
74)Do not apply stickers or other objects on the steering wheel, on the dashboard in the passenger side airbag area, on side upholstery on the roof
or on the seats. Never put objects (e.g. mobile phones) on the passenger's side dashboard since they could interfere with correct inflation of the
airbag and also cause serious injury to the passengers.
75)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 the back of your seat upright and lean back into it.
76)When there is an active passenger airbag, DO NOT install rearward facing child restraint systems on the front seat. Deployment of the airbag
in an accident could cause fatal injuries to the child regardless of the severity of the impact. Therefore, always deactivate the passenger side
airbag when a rearward facing child restraint system is installed on the front passenger seat. The front passenger seat must also be positioned
back as far as possible in order to prevent the child restraint system from coming into contact with the dashboard. Immediately reactivate the
passenger airbag as soon as the child restraint system has been removed.
77)To deactivate the airbags, see the “Knowing your car” section, “Menu items” paragraph.
78)A failure of the
warning light is indicated by thewarning light switching on. In addition, the airbag system automatically disables the
airbag on the passenger's side (for versions/markets where provided). Before proceeding, contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership to have the system
checked immediately.

SAFETY

SIDE AIRBAGS (SIDE BAGS -
WINDOW BAGS)
To increase protection of occupants in
case of side collision, the car is equipped
with front side bags for pelvis, chest and
shoulder 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 types of bags
located in the front seat backrests
fig. 60 which protect the pelvic, chest and
shoulder 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. 61.
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 passenger
sits on the seat in a correct position, thus
allowing correct window bag deployment.
IMPORTANT NOTES
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.
