Each seat belt must be used by only one
person. Never travel with a child sitting
on the passenger's lap and a single belt to
protect them both fig. 49. In general, do
not place any objects between the person
and the belt.
SEAT BELTS MAINTENANCE
16)
always use the seat belt with the strap
well stretched and not twisted; make
sure that it is free to run without
obstructions;
replace the belt after an accident of a
certain severity even if it does not appear
to be damaged. Always replace the seat
belt if the pretensioners were deployed;
check seat belt operation as follows:
attach the seat belt and pull it hard;
prevent the retractors from getting
wet: their correct operation is only
guaranteed if water does not get inside;
replace the seat belt when it shows
wear or cuts.
WARNING
59)
The pretensioner may be used only once.
After its activation, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership to have it replaced.
60)
Removing or tampering with seat belt
and pretensioner components is strictly
prohibited. Any intervention on these
components must be performed by qualified
and authorised technicians. Always contact
a dedicated Alfa Romeo Dealership.
61)
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.
62)
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
16)
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.

SAFETY
CARRYING CHILDREN SAFELY
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 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 case of accident, braking or
sudden manoeuvre.
Children must be seated safely and
comfortably. Depending on the
characteristics of the child restraint
systems used, you are advised to keep
children in rearward facing child restraint
systems for as long as possible (at least
until 3-4 years old), since this is the most
protected position in the event of an
impact.
63) 64) 65) 66)
The choice of the most suitable child
restraint device depends on the weight of
the child; there are various types of child
restraint systems and you are advised
always to choose the one that is most
suitable for the child.
When over 1.50 m in height, from the
point of view of restraint systems,
children are considered as adults and
wear seat belts normally.
In Europe the characteristics of child
restraint systems are ruled by the
regulation ECE-R44, dividing them into
five weight groups:
Group
Weight groups
Group 0
up to 10 kg in
weight
Group 0+
up to 13 kg in
weight
Group 1
9 - 18 kg
Group 2
15 - 25 kg
Group 3
22 - 36 kg
All restraint devices must bear the
certification data, together with the
control mark, on a label solidly fixed to
the child restraint system which must
never be removed.
Lineaccessori MOPAR® includes child
restraint systems for each weight group.
These devices are recommended having
been specifically tested for Alfa Romeo
cars.
WARNING
63)
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.
64)
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).
65)
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 display main menu
(see the "Display" paragraph, "Knowing the
instrument panel" chapter), verifying
deactivation by checking whether the
OFF LED has switched on in the trim
located on the dashboard. Move the
passenger's seat as far back as possible to
avoid contact between the child seat and the
dashboard.

66)
Do not move the front or rear seat if a
child is seated on it or on the dedicated child
restraint system
FITTING "UNIVERSAL" CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (with seat
belts)
GROUP 0 and 0+
68) 69) 70) 71) 72)
Babies up to 13 kg must be carried with a
rear facing child restraint system of a
type as shown in fig. 50 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. 50 and it must restrain the child in
turn with its own belts.
GROUP 1
67) 68) 69) 70) 71) 72)
Children of weight from 9 to 18 kg may
be transported in forward facing child
restraint systems fig. 51.
GROUP 2
68) 69) 70) 71) 72)
Children from 15 to 25 kg may be
restrained directly by the car seat belts
fig. 52.
In this case, the child restraint system is
used to position the child correctly with
respect to the seat belts so that the
diagonal belt section crosses the child’s

chest and not the neck, and the lower part
is snug on the pelvis not the abdomen.
GROUP 3
68) 69) 70) 71) 72)
For children between 22 kg and 36 kg,
there are dedicated restraint systems
that allow the seat belt to be worn
correctly.
The fig. 53 shows the correct child
positioning on the rear seat.
Children over 1.50 m in height can wear
seat belts like adults.
