IMPORTANTS The triggering of air

bags releases a small amount of powder.

This powder is not harmful and does not

indicate a start of fire; also the surfaces

of the deployed bag and the car interior

may be covered with dusty residue: this

may irritate the skin and eyes. In the

event of exposure, wash with neutral

soap and water.

The air bag system has a validity of 14

years as concerns the pyrotechnic charge

and 10 years as concerns the coil contact.

Contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services as

this date approaches.

IMPORTANT If an accident has trig-

gered the air bag, Alfa Romeo Authorized

Services must be contacted to have the de-

vices activated replaced and to have the

whole system checked.

All operations involving checking, repair-

ing and replacing components concerning

the Air bag must be carried out by Alfa

Romeo Authorized Services.

If the car is to be demolished, Alfa Romeo

Authorized Services should be contacted be-

forehand to have the system deactivated.

If the car changes ownership, the new

owner must be informed of the instructions

for use and of the above warnings and be

given this “Owner’s Manual”.

IMPORTANT The triggering of the pre-

tensioners, front air bags and side bags is

decided by the electronic control unit in a

differentiated manner depending on the

type of crash. The failure to trigger one or

more of them does not necessarily indicate

a system malfunction.

GENERAL WARNINGS

Never lean head, arms

and elbows out of the

window.

WARNING

If the

¬

warning light

does not turn on when

turning the ignition key to MAR or

if it stays on when travelling, this

could indicate a failure in safety re-

taining systems; under this condi-

tion air bags or pretensioners could

not trigger in the event of collision

or, in a restricted number of cases,

they could trigger accidentally.

Stop the car and contact a Alfa

Romeo Authorized Services to

have the system checked.

WARNING

Do not cover back rest of

front seats with trims or

covers there are not set for the

use of side bags.
