SAFETY
100
status of the seat belts (even if the seat
belts are all fastened).
All the warning lights/icons will come
on when at least one belt changes from
fastened to unfastened status or vice
versa.
PRE-TENSIONERS
The car is equipped with front and rear
lateral seat belt pretensioners, which
draw back the seat belts by several
centimetres in the event of a strong
frontal impact. This guarantees the
perfect adherence of the seat belts
to the occupant's bodies before the
retention action begins.
It is evident that the pretensioners have
been activated when the belt withdraws
toward the retractor.
This car is also equipped with a second
pretensioner on the front seat belts
(fitted in the kick plate area). Its
activation is signalled by the shortening
of the metal cable.
A slight discharge of smoke may be
produced during the activation of the
pretensioner which is not harmful and
does not involve any fire hazard.
The pretensioner does not require any
maintenance or lubrication: any changes
to its original conditions will invalidate
its efficiency.
If, due to unusual natural events (floods,
sea storms, etc.), the device has been
affected by water and/or mud, contact
an Alfa Romeo Dealership to have it
replaced.
WARNING To obtain the highest degree
of protection from the action of the
pretensioner, wear the seat belt tight to
the torso and pelvis.
LOAD LIMITERS
79)
30)
To increase safety in the event of an
accident, the front and rear lateral seat
belt retractors contain a load limiter
which controls the force acting on the
chest and shoulders during the belt
restraining action in the event of a
head-on collision.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
THE SEAT BELTS
80) 81) 82)
Respect and ensure that all the other
occupants of the vehicle comply with the
local laws in force regarding the use of
seat belts. Always fasten the seat belts
before setting off.
Seat belts must also be worn by pregnant
women: the risk of injury in the event of
an accident is reduced for them and the
unborn child if they are wearing a seat
belt.
Pregnant women must position the
lower part of the belt very low down so
that it passes over the pelvis and under
the abdomen fig. 88.While pregnancy
progresses, the driver must adjust both
seat and steering wheel to have full
control over the vehicle (pedals and
steering wheel must be easy to access).
The maximum clearance should be kept
between the abdomen and the steering
wheel.

The seat belt strap must not be twisted.
The upper part must pass over the
shoulder and cross the chest diagonally.
The lower part must adhere to the
pelvisfig. 89,nottotheabdomenof
the occupant. Never use devices (clips,
clamps, etc.) that hold the seat belt away
from your body.
