been designed to withstand long-term wear
deriving from normal use of the car. Some
precautions are however required. Avoid
prolonged and/or excessive rubbing against
clothing accessories such as metal buckles
and Velcro strips which, by applying a high
pressure on the fabric in a small area, could
cause it to break, thereby damaging the
upholstery.

electrically adjusted seats as they could
impede their movement or otherwise
damage the controls.

KNOWING YOUR CAR

Group Weight range
Group 348.5 - 79.4 lb (22 -
36 kg) in weight
The ECE-R44 standard was recently
paired with the ECE R-129 regulation,
which defines the characteristics of the
new i-Size child restraint systems (see
the "Suitability of passenger seats for
i-Size child restraint system use"
paragraph for more information).
All restraint devices must bear the
type-approval data, together with the
control mark, on a label solidly fixed to
the child restraint system which must
never be removed.
Lineaccessori includes child restraint
systems for each weight group. These
devices are recommended having been
specifically tested for Alfa Romeo cars.
IMPORTANT For correct installation on
the car, some universal child restraint
systems require an accessory (base) sold
separately by the restraint system's
producer. Therefore, FCA advises
customers to check that their chosen
child restraint system can be installed on
their vehicle by performing a trial
installation, on the vendor's premises,
before purchase.INSTALLING A CHILD CARSEAT WITH

SAFETY

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.
