SEATS
Warning!
It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area,
inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision,
people riding in these areas are more likely
to be seriously injured or killed.
Do not allow people to ride in any area
of your vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and seat belts. In a collision, people
riding in these areas are more likely to be
seriously injured or killed.
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a
seat and using a seat belt properly.
Front Seats
The front seats can be adjusted to
ensure maximum comfort for the
occupants.
When adjusting the driver’s seat, keep
the shoulders resting firmly against the
backrest, and the wrists within reach of
the top of the steering wheel.
Also, the driver must be able to fully
depress the brake pedal once the seat
has been adjusted.

certain period of time has elapsed. This
varies on a case-by-case basis, in
accordance with the specific operating
conditions.
Note:To preserve the battery charge,
this function cannot be activated when
the engine is off.
Warning!
Persons who are unable to feel pain to
the skin because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury,
medication, alcohol use, exhaustion or
other physical condition must exercise care
when using the seat heater. It may cause
burns even at low temperatures, especially
if used for long periods of time
Do not place anything on the seat or
seatback that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or cushion. This may cause
the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a seat
that has been overheated could cause
serious burns due to the increased surface
temperature of the seat.
Rear Seats
The rear seats allow for three
passengers.
Note:
Because the rear seat is designed as a
4+1 seat, the middle seat is of limited
use. It is recommended that this seat
only be used by a person who can use
the backrest as a substitute for the
head restraint.
The seats and the seatbelts are
considered as components of the
protection system for the vehicle's
occupants.
Note: Refer to the "Seatbelts" in
"Safety" for further information.
HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head restraints are designed to reduce
the risk of injury by restricting head
movement in the event of a rear impact.
Head restraints should be adjusted so
that the top of the head restraint is
located above the top of your ear.
Warning!
A loose head restraint thrown forward in
a collision or hard stop could cause serious
injury or death to occupants of the vehicle.
Always securely stow removed head
restraints in a location outside the
occupant compartment.
ALL the head restraints MUST be
reinstalled in the vehicle to properly protect
the occupants. Follow the re-installation
instructions above prior to operating the
vehicle or occupying a seat.
Do not place items over the top of the
Reactive Head Restraint, such as coats,
seat covers or portable DVD players. These
items may interfere with the operation of
the Reactive Head Restraint in the event of
a collision and could result in serious injury
or death.GUID-04066S0006EMRear Seat

Warning!
Never leave children unattended in a
vehicle, and do not let children play with
power windows. Do not leave the key fob
in or near the vehicle, or in a location
accessible to children. Occupants,
particularly unattended children, can
become entrapped by the windows while
operating the power window switches.
Such entrapment may result in serious
injury or death.
POWER SUNROOF —
IF EQUIPPED
Power Sunroof
The power sunroof consists of two
glass panels (the front one is mobile
and the rear one fixed) and is fitted with
two power operated sun shades.
Operation of the sunroof is only
possible with the ignition at AVV. Refer
to “Ignition” in this chapter for further
information.
Warning!
Never leave children unattended in a
vehicle, or with access to an unlocked
vehicle. Never leave the key fob in or near
the vehicle, or in a location accessible to
children. Do not leave the ignition of a
vehicle equipped with keyless ignition in the
AVV or ON mode. Occupants, particularly
unattended children, can become
entrapped by the power sunroof while
operating the power sunroof switch. Such
entrapment may result in serious injury or
death.
In a collision, there is a greater risk of
being thrown from a vehicle with an open
sunroof. You could also be seriously injured
or killed. Always fasten your seat belt
properly and make sure all passengers are
also properly secured.
Do not allow small children to operate
the sunroof. Never allow your fingers, other
body parts, or any object, to project
through the sunroof opening. Injury may
result.
Opening

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

Only Warning: the system, if active,
does not provide limited braking, but
guarantees automatic braking or
additional assistance in braking stage,
where the driver does not brake at all or
not sufficiently in the event of a potential
frontal impact. The visual and audible
warnings are deactivated, and will not
be provided.
Disable: the system does not
provide visual and audible warnings,
limited braking, automatic braking or
additional assistance in braking stage.
The system will therefore provide no
indication of a possible accident.
Activation/Deactivation
The Forward Collision Warning system
is activated whenever the engine is
started regardless of what is shown on
the Connect system.
Following a deactivation, the system will
not warn the driver about the possible
collision with the preceding vehicle,
regardless of the setting selected with
the Connect system.
Note: Each time the engine is started,
the system is activated regardless of
what setting was selected when it was
previously switched off.
This function is not active at a speed
lower than 4 mph (7 km/h) or higher
than 124 mph (200 km/h). The system is active when:
The engine is started.
Is active (on) in the Connect system.
The ignition is in the ON position.
The vehicle speed is between 4 mph
(7 km/h) and 124 mph (200 km/h).
The front seat belts are fastened.
The "Alfa DNA Pro" selector is not in
RACE position (where present).
Changing The System Sensitivity
The sensitivity of the system can be
changed through the Connect system
menu, choosing from one of the
following three options: "Near", "Med"
or "Far". Refer to the description in the
“Connect System Supplement” for how
to change the settings.
The pre-set option is "Med". With this
setting, the system warns the driver of a
possible collision with the vehicle in
front when that vehicle is at a standard
distance, between that of the other two
settings.
With the system sensitivity set to "Far",
the system will warn the driver of a
possible collision with the vehicle in
front when that vehicle is at a greater
distance, thus providing the possibility
of acting on the brakes more lightly and
gradually. This setting provides the
drivers with the maximum possible
reaction time to prevent a potential
accident. With the option set to "Near", the
system will alert the driver of a possible
collision with the vehicle in front when
that vehicle is close. This setting offers
the driver a lower reaction time
compared to the "Med" and "Far"
settings, in the event of a potential
collision, but permits more dynamic
driving of the vehicle.
The system sensitivity setting is kept in
the memory when the engine is
switched off.
System Limited Operation Signal
If the dedicated message is displayed,
a condition limiting the system
operation may have occurred. The
possible reasons of this limitation are
something blocking the camera view or
a fault.
If an obstruction is signaled, clean the
area of the windshield indicated in.
Although the vehicle can still be driven
in normal conditions, the system may
be not completely available.
When the conditions limiting the system
functions end, this will go back to
normal and complete operation. Should
the fault persist, contact an authorized
dealer.
System Failure Signaling
If the system switches off and a
dedicated message is shown on the
display, it means that there is a fault on
the system.
103

Then, drive the vehicle for up to
10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h).
The TPMS will chime, the "TPM Telltale
Light" will flash on and off for
75 seconds and then turn off. The
instrument cluster will display the
“SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” message
and then display pressure values in
place of the dashes. On the next
ignition switch cycle the "SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM" message will no longer be
displayed, as long as no system fault
exists.
Note:
The TPMS is not intended to
replace normal tire care and
maintenance, or to provide warning of
a tire failure or condition.
The TPMS should not be used as a
tire pressure gauge while adjusting
your tire pressure.
Driving on a significantly
underinflated tire will cause the tire to
overheat, and can lead to tire failure.
Underinflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.
The TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the
driver’s responsibility to maintain
correct tire pressure using an accurate
tire pressure gauge, even if
underinflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the “Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light”.
Seasonal temperature changes will
affect tire pressure, and the TPMS will
monitor the actual tire pressure in the
tire.

OCCUPANT
RESTRAINT
SYSTEMS
Some of the most important safety
features in your vehicle are the restraint
systems:
Occupant Restraint
Systems Features
Seat Belt Systems
Supplemental Restraint Systems
(SRS) Air Bags
Child Restraints
Some of the safety features described
in this section may be standard
equipment on some models, or may be
optional equipment on others. If you are
not sure, ask your authorized dealer.
Important Safety
Precautions
Please pay close attention to the
information in this section. It tells you
how to use your restraint system
properly, to keep you and your
passengers as safe as possible.
Here are some simple steps you can
take to minimize the risk of harm from a
deploying air bag:
1. Children 12 years old and under
should always ride buckled up in a
vehicle with a rear seat.
108
SAFETY

2. Ifachildfrom2to12yearsold(not
in a rear-facing child restraint) must ride
in the front passenger seat, move the
seat as far back as possible and use
the proper child restraint (Refer to
“Child Restraints.”)
3. Children that are not big enough to
wear the vehicle seat belt properly
(Refer to "Child Restraints") should be
secured in a vehicle with a rear seat in
child restraints or belt-positioning
booster seats. Older children who do
not use child restraints or
belt-positioning booster seats should
ride properly buckled up in a vehicle
with a rear seat.
4. Never allow children to slide the
shoulder belt behind them or under
their arm.
5. You should read the instructions
provided with your child restraint to
make sure that you are using it properly.
6. All occupants should always wear
their lap and shoulder belts properly.
7. The driver and front passenger seats
should be moved back as far as
practical to allow the front air bags
room to inflate.
8. Do not lean against the door or
window. If your vehicle has side air
bags, and deployment occurs, the side
air bags will inflate forcefully into the
space between occupants and the
door and occupants could be injured.9. If the air bag system in this vehicle
needs to be modified to accommodate
a disabled person, refer to the “If You
Need Assistance” section for customer
service contact information.
Warning!
Never place a rear-facing child restraint
in front of an air bag. A deploying
passenger front air bag can cause death or
serious injury to a child 12 years or
younger, including a child in a rear-facing
child restraint.
Only use a rear-facing child restraint in a
vehicle with a rear seat.
Seat Belt Systems
Buckle up even though you are an
excellent driver, even on short trips.
Someone on the road may be a poor
driver and could cause a collision that
includes you. This can happen far away
from home or on your own street.
Research has shown that seat belts
save lives, and they can reduce the
seriousness of injuries in a collision.
Some of the worst injuries happen
when people are thrown from the
vehicle. Seat belts reduce the possibility
of ejection and the risk of injury caused
by striking the inside of the vehicle.
Everyone in a motor vehicle should be
belted at all times.
Enhanced Seat Belt Use
Reminder System (BeltAlert)
Driver And Passenger BeltAlert
(If Equipped)
BeltAlert is a feature intended to
remind the driver and outboard front
seat passenger (if equipped with
outboard front passenger seat BeltAlert)
to buckle their seat belts. The Belt Alert
feature is active whenever the ignition
switch is in the AVV/START or ON/RUN
position.
Initial Indication
If the driver is unbuckled when the
ignition switch is first in the AVV/START
or ON/RUN position, a chime will signal
for a few seconds. If the driver or
outboard front seat passenger (if
equipped with outboard front
passenger seat BeltAlert) is unbuckled
when the ignition switch is first in the
AVV/START or ON/RUN position the
Seat Belt Reminder Light will turn on
and remain on until both outboard front
seat belts are buckled. The outboard
front passenger seat BeltAlert is not
active when an outboard front
passenger seat is unoccupied.
BeltAlert Warning Sequence
The BeltAlert warning sequence is
activated when the vehicle is moving
above a specified vehicle speed range
and the driver or outboard front seat
passenger is unbuckled (if equipped
with outboard front passenger seat
109

BeltAlert) (the outboard front passenger
seat BeltAlert is not active when the
outboard front passenger seat is
unoccupied). The BeltAlert warning
sequence starts by blinking the Seat
Belt Reminder Light and sounding an
intermittent chime. Once the BeltAlert
warning sequence has completed, the
Seat Belt Reminder Light will remain on
until the seat belts are buckled. The
BeltAlert warning sequence may repeat
based on vehicle speed until the driver
and occupied outboard front seat
passenger seat belts are buckled. The
driver should instruct all occupants to
buckle their seat belts.
Change Of Status
If the driver or outboard front seat
passenger (if equipped with outboard
front passenger seat BeltAlert)
unbuckles their seat belt while the
vehicle is traveling, the BeltAlert
warning sequence will begin until the
seat belts are buckled again.
The outboard front passenger seat
BeltAlert is not active when the
outboard front passenger seat is
unoccupied. BeltAlert may be triggered
when an animal or other items are
placed on the outboard front passenger
seat or when the seat is folded flat (if
equipped). It is recommended that pets
be restrained in the rear seat (if
equipped) in pet harnesses or pet
carriers that are secured by seat belts,
and cargo is properly stowed.BeltAlert can be activated or
deactivated by your authorized dealer.
FCA US LLC does not recommend
deactivating BeltAlert.
Note:
If BeltAlert has been deactivated
and the driver or outboard front seat
passenger (if equipped with outboard
front passenger seat BeltAlert) is
unbuckled the Seat Belt Reminder Light
will turn on and remain on until the
driver and outboard front seat
passenger seat belts are buckled.
Lap/Shoulder Belts
All seating positions in your vehicle are
equipped with lap/shoulder belts.
The seat belt webbing retractor will lock
only during very sudden stops or
collisions. This feature allows the
shoulder part of the seat belt to move
freely with you under normal conditions.
However, in a collision the seat belt will
lock and reduce your risk of striking the
inside of the vehicle or being thrown out
of the vehicle.
Warning!
Relying on the air bags alone could lead
to more severe injuries in a collision. The air
bags work with your seat belt to restrain
you properly. In some collisions, the air
bags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your
seat belt even though you have air bags.
In a collision, you and your passengers
can suffer much greater injuries if you are
not properly buckled up. You can strike the
interior of your vehicle or other passengers,
or you can be thrown out of the vehicle.
Always be sure you and others in your
vehicle are buckled up properly.
It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area,
inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision,
people riding in these areas are more likely
to be seriously injured or killed.
Do not allow people to ride in any area
of your vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and seat belts.
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a
seat and using a seat belt properly.
Occupants, including the driver, should
always wear their seat belts whether or not
an air bag is also provided at their seating
position to minimize the risk of severe injury
or death in the event of a crash.
Wearing your seat belt incorrectly could
make your injuries in a collision much
worse. You might suffer internal injuries, or
you could even slide out of the seat belt.
Follow these instructions to wear your seat
belt safely and to keep your passengers
safe, too.
Two people should never be belted into
a single seat belt. People belted together
can crash into one another in a collision,
hurting one another badly. Never use a
lap/shoulder belt or a lap belt for more than
one person, no matter what their size.
110
SAFETY

A lap belt worn too high can increase
the risk of injury in a collision. The seat belt
forces won’t be at the strong hip and pelvic
bones, but across your abdomen. Always
wear the lap part of your seat belt as low
as possible and keep it snug.
A twisted seat belt may not protect you
properly. In a collision, it could even cut into
you. Be sure the seat belt is flat against
your body, without twists. If you can’t
straighten a seat belt in your vehicle, take it
to your authorized dealer immediately and
have it fixed.
A seat belt that is buckled into the
wrong buckle will not protect you properly.
The lap portion could ride too high on your
body, possibly causing internal injuries.
Always buckle your seat belt into the
buckle nearest you.
A seat belt that is too loose will not
protect you properly. In a sudden stop, you
could move too far forward, increasing the
possibility of injury. Wear your seat belt
snugly.
A seat belt that is worn under your arm
is dangerous. Your body could strike the
inside surfaces of the vehicle in a collision,
increasing head and neck injury. A seat belt
worn under the arm can cause internal
injuries. Ribs aren’t as strong as shoulder
bones. Wear the seat belt over your
shoulder so that your strongest bones will
take the force in a collision.
A shoulder belt placed behind you will
not protect you from injury during a
collision. You are more likely to hit your
head in a collision if you do not wear your
shoulder belt. The lap and shoulder belt are
meant to be used together.
A frayed or torn seat belt could rip apart
in a collision and leave you with no
protection. Inspect the seat belt system
periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or
loose parts. Damaged parts must be
replaced immediately. Do not disassemble
or modify the seat belt system. Seat belt
assemblies must be replaced after a
collision.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating
Instructions
1. Enter the vehicle and close the door.
Sit back and adjust the seat.
2. The seat belt latch plate is above the
back of the front seat, and next to your
arm in the rear seat (for vehicles
equipped with a rear seat). Grasp the
latch plate and pull out the seat belt.
Slide the latch plate up the webbing as
far as necessary to allow the seat belt
to go around your lap.
3. When the seat belt is long enough to
fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle
until you hear a “click.” 4. Position the lap belt so that it is snug
and lies low across your hips, below
your abdomen. To remove slack in the
lap belt portion, pull up on the shoulder
belt. To loosen the lap belt if it is too
tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the
lap belt. A snug seat belt reduces the
risk of sliding under the seat belt in a
collision.
5. Position the shoulder belt across the
shoulder and chest with minimal, if any
slack so that it is comfortable and not
resting on your neck. The retractor will
withdraw any slack in the shoulder belt.
6. To release the seat belt, push the
red button on the buckle. The seat belt
will automatically retract to its stowed
position. If necessary, slide the latch
plate down the webbing to allow the
seat belt to retract fully.

Lap/Shoulder Belt Untwisting
Procedure
Use the following procedure to untwist
a twisted lap/shoulder belt.
1. Position the latch plate as close as
possible to the anchor point.
2. At about 6 to 12 inches (15 to
30 cm) above the latch plate, grasp and
twist the seat belt webbing
180 degrees to create a fold that begins
immediately above the latch plate.
3. Slide the latch plate upward over the
folded webbing. The folded webbing
must enter the slot at the top of the
latch plate.
4. Continue to slide the latch plate up
until it clears the folded webbing and
the seat belt is no longer twisted.
Second Row Center Seat Belt
Operating InstructionsThe second row center seat belt
features a seat belt with a mini-latch
plate and buckle, which allows the seat
belt to detach from the lower anchor
when the seat is folded. The mini-latch
plate and regular latch plate can then
be stored out of the way in the parcel
tray for added convenience to open up
utilization of the storage areas behind
the front seats when the seat is not
occupied.
1. Remove the mini-latch plate and
regular latch plate from its stowed
position in the right rear side trim panel.
2. Grasp the mini-latch plate and pull
the seat belt over the seat.
3. Route the shoulder belt to the inside
of the right head restraint.
4. When the seat belt is long enough to
fit, insert the mini-latch plate into the
mini-buckle until you hear a “click.”
5. Sit back in seat. Slide the regular
latch plate up the webbing as far as
necessary to allow the seat belt to go
around your lap.
6. When the seat belt is long enough to
fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle
until you hear a “click.”
