SIDE BAGS
To help increase occupants protection
in the event of side impact collisions, the
vehicle is equipped with front side bags
and window bags.
Side bag
These comprise two bags located in
thefrontseatbackrestsfig.106 which
protect the pelvis, chest and shoulder
area of the occupants in the event of a
side collision of medium-high severity.
They are marked by the "AIRBAG" label
sewn on the outer side of the front seats.

Window bag
This consists of a "curtain" bag housed
behind the roof side linings and covered
byspecial trimsfig.107.
They are designed to protect the head of
front and rear occupants in the event of a
side collision, thanks to the wide cushion
inflation surface.
107 06106V0005EM
The deployment of side bags in the event
of side impacts of low severity is not
required.
In the event of a side impact, the
system provides best protection if the
passenger sits on the seat in a correct
position, allowing the window bag to
inflate correctly.

Important notes
Do not wash the seats with water or
pressurised steam (wash by hand or at
automatic seat washing stations).
The front airbags and/or side bags
may be deployed in the event of sharp
impacts to the underbody of the car (e.g.
impact with steps, pavements, potholes
or road bumps etc.).
When the airbag deploys it emits a small
amount of dust: the dust is harmless and
does not indicate the beginning of a fire.
The dust may irritate the skin and eyes
however: in this case, wash with neutral
soap and water.
Airbag checking, repair and replacement
must be carried out at an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
If the car is scrapped, have the airbag
system deactivated at an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
Pretensioners and airbags are deployed
in different ways on the basis of the type
of collision. Failure to activate one or
more of the devices does not indicate a
system malfunction.
WARNING
96) Do not apply stickers or other objects
on the steering wheel, on the dashboard
in the passenger side airbag area, on side
upholstery on the roof or on the seats.
Never put objects (e.g. mobile phones) on
the passenger's side dashboard since they
could interfere with correct inflation of the
airbag and also cause serious injury to the
passengers.
97) The airbag must be able to inflate
without obstruction in the event of
deployment. It is therefore recommended
not to drive with the body bent forward, but
to sit up resting your back and shoulders
on the backrest of the seat. Adjusting
the position of the seat so that you can
reach and manoeuvre the steering wheel
comfortably with your arms slightly bent
