2019 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Owner's Manual

INSTALLING AN ISOFIX CHILD CARSEAT
82) 83) 84) 85) 86)
The rear side seats of the vehicle are
equipped with ISOFIX attachments, for
fitting child restraint systems quickly,
simply and safely.
The ISOFIX system lets you install the
ISOFIX child restraining system without
using the car seat belts but connecting
them directly to the carseat with three
anchors in the car.
Traditional child restraint systems can be
fitted alongside ISOFIX child restraint
systems on different seats in the same
vehicle.
To install an ISOFIX child restraint
system, attach it to the two metal
anchors fig. 83. They can be reached by
lifting the flaps 2 located behind the rear
seat cushion, at the point where it meets
the backrest. Then fix the upper hook
(available with the child restraint system)
to the dedicated "top tether" anchor
fig. 84 located behind the seat backrest.As an example, fig. 85 shows a Universal
Isofix child restraint system for weight
group 1.
IMPORTANT The fig. 85 is indicative and
for assembly purposes only. Fit the child
restraint system according to the
instructions, which must be included.
NOTE When a Universal ISOFIX child
restraint system is used, only ECE R44
"ISOFIX Universal” (R44/03 or further
upgrades), type-approved child restraint
systems can be used (see fig. 86 ).
The other weight groups are covered by
specific ISOFIX child restraint systems,
which can be used only if specifically
tested for this vehicle (see list of vehicles
provided with the child restraint system).

SAFETY

The rear side seats of the car are
type-approved to house the
state-of-the-art i-Size child restraint
systems.
These child restraint systems, built and
type-approved according to the i-Size
(ECE R129) standard, ensure better
safety conditions to carry children on
board a vehicle:
the child must be transported
rearward facing until 15 months;
child restraint system protection is
increased in the event of a side collision;
the use of the ISOFIX system is
promoted to avoid faulty installation of
the child restraint system;
efficiency in the choice of the child
restraint system, which isn't made
according to weight any more but
according to the child's height, is
increased;
compatibility between the vehicle
seats and the child restraint systems is
better: the i-Size child restraint systems
can be considered as "Super ISOFIX"; this
means that they can be perfectly fitted in
type-approved i-Size seats, but can also
be fitted in ISOFIX (ECE R44)
type-approved seats.NOTE If your car seats are i-Size
approved, the symbol shown in fig. 87 will
appear on the seats near the ISOFIX
attachments.
NOTE: See the table shown on the
following page to check whether your car
is approved for installing i-Size child
restraint systems.

Main recommendations to carry
children safely
Install the child restraint systems on
the rear seat, which is the most protected
position in the event of an impact.
Keep children in rearward facing child
restraint systems for as long as possible,
until 3–4 years old if possible.
The rear head restraint or the front
passenger head restraint can be lifted if
needed to install a child restraint system.
The head restraint must always be
present in the vehicle and fitted if the
seat is used by an adult passenger or a
child sitting in a restraint system without
backrest (refer to the procedure
described in ‘’Head restraint’’ paragraph,
‘’Knowing your vehicle’’ chapter).
If the front passenger airbag has been
deactivated, always check that the
warning light on the courtesy light is on
continuously to make sure that it is
effectively deactivated.
Carefully follow the instructions
supplied with the child restraint system.
Keep the instructions in the vehicle along
with the other documents and this
handbook. Do not use second-hand child
seats without instructions.
Only one child is to be strapped into
each restraint system; never carry two
children using one child restraint system.
Always check that the seat belts do
not rest on the child’s neck.
Always check that the seat belt is well
fastened by pulling on it.
While travelling, do not let the child sit
incorrectly or unfasten the belts.
Never allow a child to put the belt's
diagonal section under an arm or behind
their back.
Never carry children on your lap, even
newborns. No-one can hold a child in the
case of a crash.
In the event of an accident, replace the
child restraint system with a new one.
WARNING
74)SEVERE DANGER When a front
passenger airbag is fitted, do not install
rearward facing child restraint systems on
the front passenger seat. Deployment of the
airbag in an accident could cause fatal
injuries to the child regardless of the
severity of the collision. It is advisable to
always carry children in a child restraint
system on the rear seat, which is the most
protected position in the event of a collision.
75)On the sun visor there is a label with
suitable symbols reminding the user that it is
compulsory to deactivate the airbag if a
rearward facing child restraint system is
fitted. Always comply with the instructions
on the passenger side sun visor (see the
"Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) -
Airbag" paragraph).76)Should it be necessary to carry a child on
the passenger side front seat in a rear facing
child restraint system, the passenger side
front airbag and side bag must be
deactivated through the Connect system
main menu (see the Supplementary
Restraint System (SRS) - Airbag"
paragraph), verifying deactivation by
checking whether the
OFFLED has
illuminated on the front ceiling light. Move
the passenger's seat as far back as possible
to avoid contact between the child seat and
the dashboard.
77)Do not move the front or rear seat if a
child is seated on it or on the dedicated child
restraint system
78)Incorrect fitting of the child restraint
system may result in an inefficient
protection system. In the event of an
accident the child restraint system may
become loose and the child may be injured,
even fatally. When fitting a restraint system
for newborns or children, strictly comply
with the instructions provided by the
Manufacturer.
79)When the child restraint system is not
used, secure it with the seat belt or with the
ISOFIX anchorages, or remove it from the
vehicle. Do not leave it unsecured inside the
passenger compartment. In this way, in the
case of sudden braking or an accident, it will
not cause injuries to the occupants.
80)After installing a child restraint system,
do not move the seat: always remove the
child restraint system before making any
adjustment.
