KNOWING YOUR CAR

SIDE AIRBAGS
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 consist of two bags located in the
front seat backrests fig. 99 that protect
the occupants’ pelvis, chest and shoulder
area in the event of a side impact 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
by special trims fig. 100.
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.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 and/or side airbags may
activate in the event of sharp impacts to
the underbody of the vehicle (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
86)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 side of the dashboard since they
could interfere with correct inflation of the
passenger airbag and also cause serious
injury to the passengers.
87)Always drive with your hands on the rim
of the steering wheel so that the airbag can
inflate freely if required. Do not drive with
your body bent forward. Keep your back
straight against the backrest.
88)The passenger airbag can be
deactivated on the Connect system by
selecting the following functions in sequence
on the main menu: “Settings”; “Safety” and
“Deactivation”.

LANE DEPARTURE WARNING
(LDW) SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
41) 42) 43) 44) 45) 46)
The Lane Departure Warning system
makes use of a camera located on the
windscreen to detect the lane limits and
calculate the position of the vehicle
within such limits, in order to make sure
that it remains inside the lane.
When one or both lane limits are
detected and the vehicle passes over one
without the driver's say-so (direction
indicator not turned on), the system
emits an acoustic signal.
If the vehicle continues to go beyond the
line of the lane without any intervention
from the driver, the surpassed line will
light up on the display (left or right) to
urge the driver to bring the vehicle back
into the limits of the lane.
SYSTEM ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION
The system is activated/deactivated by
pressing the button, fig. 113
When the engine is started the system is
always activated.Activation conditions
Once switched on, the system becomes
active only if the following conditions are
met:
the vehicle speed is above 45 mph
(70 km/h);
the lane limit lines are visible at least
on one side;
there are suitable visibility conditions;
the road is straight or with wide radius
bends;
a suitable distance is kept from the
vehicle in front;
the direction indicator (for leaving the
lane) is not active.
IMPORTANT
41)Projecting loads on the roof of the
vehicle may interfere with the correct
operation of the camera. Before starting
make sure the load is correctly positioned, in
order not to cover the camera operating
range.
42)If the windscreen must be replaced due
to scratches, chipping or breakage, contact
exclusively an Alfa Romeo Dealership. Do not
replace the windscreen on your own, risk of
malfunction! It is advisable to replace the
windscreen if it is damaged in the area of the
camera.
43)Do not tamper with nor operate on the
camera. Do not close the openings in the
aesthetic cover located under the interior
rear view mirror. In the event of a failure of
the camera, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
44)Do not cover the operating range of the
camera with stickers or other objects. Also
pay attention to other objects on the bonnet
(e.g. a layer of snow) and make sure they do
not interfere with the camera
45)The camera may have limited or absent
operation due to weather conditions such as:
heavy rain, hail, thick fog, heavy snow,
formation of ice layers on the windscreen.

The maximum engine oil consumption is
usually 0.55 pounds (250 grams) every
620 mi (1,000 km). When the vehicle is
new, the engine needs to be run in;
therefore the engine oil consumption can
only be considered stabilised after the
first 3,100 - 3,730 mi (5,000 -
6,000 km).
