KNOWING YOUR CAR
72)For maximum safety, keep the backrest
upright, lean back into it and make sure the
seat belt fits closely across your chest and
pelvis. Always fasten the seat belts for both
the front and rear seats! Travelling without
wearing seat belts will increase the risk of
serious injury and even death in the event of
an accident.
73)If the belt has been subjected to high
levels of stress, for example after an
accident, it should be changed completely
together with the attachments, attachment
fixing screws and the pretensioner. In fact,
even if the belt has no visible defects, it may
have lost its resilience.
IMPORTANT
29)Operations which lead to impacts,
vibrations or localised heating (over 100°C
for a maximum of six hours) in the area
around the pretensioner may cause damage
or make it deploy. Contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership should intervention be necessary
on these components.
CHILD PROTECTIONSYSTEMS
CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELY
74) 75) 76) 77)
For optimal protection in the event of an
impact, all occupants must be seated and
wearing adequate restraint systems,
including newborn and other children!
This prescription is compulsory in all EC
countries according to EC Directive
2003/20/EC.
Children below the height of 4.9 ft
(1.50 metres) and up to 12 years must be
protected with suitable restraint
systems and be seated on the rear seats.
Statistics on accidents indicate that the
rear seats offer greater safety for
children.
Compared with an adult, a child's head is
larger and heavier in proportion to their
body and the child's muscular and bone
structures are not fully developed.
Therefore, correct restraint systems
other than adult seat belts are necessary,
to reduce as much as possible the risk of
injuries in the event of an accident,
braking or sudden manoeuvre.
Children must be seated safely and
comfortably. As far as the characteristics
of the child seats used allow, you are
advised to keep children in rear facing
child seats for as long as possible (atleast until 3–4 years old), since this is the
most protected position in the event of
an impact.
The choice of the most suitable child
restraint system depends on the weight
and size of the child. There are various
types of child restraint systems, which
can be secured to the car by means of the
seat belts or with the ISOFIX/i-Size
anchorages.
It is recommended to always choose the
restraint system most suitable for the
child; for this reason always refer to the
Owner Handbook provided with the child
restraint system, to be sure that it is of
the right type for the children it is
intended for.
In Europe the characteristics of child
restraint systems are ruled by the
regulation ECE-R44, dividing them into
five weight groups:
Group Weight range
Group 0upto 22 lb (10 kg) in
weight
Group 0+up to 28.7 lb (13 kg)
in weight
Group 120-40lb(9-18kg)
in weight
Group 233-55lb(15-25kg)
in weight
91
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
SEATBELTS
78) 79) 80) 81)
The Universal child restraint systems
installed with the seat belts only are
type-approved on the basis of the ECE
R44 standard and are divided into
various weight groups.
IMPORTANT The figures are indicative
and provided for assembly purposes
only. Fit the child restraint system
according to the instructions, which must
be included.
Group 0 and 0+
Babies up to 28.7 lb (13 kg) must be
carried with a rear facing child restraint
system of a type as shown in
fig. 79 which, supporting the head, does
not induce stress on the neck in the event
of sudden decelerations.The child restraint system is secured by
the vehicle seat belts, as shown in
fig. 79 and it must restrain the child in
turn with its own belts.
Group 1
From 20 to 40 lb (9 to 18 kg), children
can be transported facing forward

SAFETY
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.
