If A Deployment Occurs
The front air bags are designed to deflate
immediately after deployment.
Note:Front and/or side air bags will not
deploy in all collisions. This does not
mean something is wrong with the air bag
system.
If you do have a collision which deploys
the air bags, any or all of the following
may occur:
The air bag material may sometimes
cause abrasions and/or skin reddening to
the occupants as the air bags deploy and
unfold. The abrasions are similar to
friction rope burns or those you might get
sliding along a carpet or gymnasium floor.
They are not caused by contact with
chemicals. They are not permanent and
normally heal quickly. However, if you
haven’t healed significantly within a few
days, or if you have any blistering, see
your doctor immediately.
As the air bags deflate, you may see
some smoke-like particles. The particles
are a normal by-product of the process
that generates the non-toxic gas used for
air bag inflation. These airborne particles
may irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or
throat. If you have skin or eye irritation,
rinse the area with cool water. For nose
or throat irritation, move to fresh air. If the irritation continues, see your
doctor. If these particles settle on your
clothing, follow the garment
manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.
Do not drive your vehicle after the air
bags have deployed. If you are involved in
another collision, the air bags will not be
in place to protect you.
Warning!
Deployed air bags and seat belt
pretensioners cannot protect you in another
collision. Have the air bags, seat belt
pretensioners, and the seat belt retractor
assemblies replaced by an authorized dealer
immediately. Also, have the Occupant
Restraint Controller System serviced as
well.
Note:
Air bag covers may not be obvious in
the interior trim, but they will open
during air bag deployment.
After any collision, the vehicle should
be taken to an authorized dealer
immediately.
Enhanced Accident Response
System
In the event of an impact, if the
communication network remains intact,
and the power remains intact, depending
on the nature of the event, the ORC will
determine whether to have the Enhanced
Accident Response System perform the
following functions:
Cut off fuel to the engine (If Equipped)
Cut off battery power to the electric
motor (If Equipped)
Flash hazard lights as long as the
battery has power
Turn on the interior lights, which
remain on as long as the battery has
power or for 15 minutes from the
intervention of the Enhanced Accident
Response System.
Unlock the power door locks.
Your vehicle may also be designed to
perform any of these other functions in
response to the Enhanced Accident
Response System:
Turn off the Fuel Filter Heater, Turn off
the HVAC Blower Motor, Close the HVAC
Circulation Door

SAFETY

SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the vehicle
under the best conditions.
For this reason, Alfa Romeo has planned
a series of checks and services for your
vehicle at fixed intervals based on
distance and time, as described in the
Scheduled Servicing Plan.
Before each service, it is always
necessary to carefully follow the
instructions in the Scheduled Servicing
Plan (e.g. periodically check level of
fluids, tire pressure, etc.).
Scheduled Servicing is offered by an
authorized dealer according to a set time
schedule. If, during each operation, in
addition to the ones scheduled, the need
arises for further replacements or
repairs, these may be carried out with the
owner’s explicit consent only.
Note:Scheduled Servicing intervals are
required by the Manufacturer. Failure to
have them carried out may invalidate the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
You are advised to inform your
authorized dealer of any small operating
irregularities without waiting for the next
service.
Periodic Checks
Every month or every 600miles
( 1,000 km) or before long trips check
and, if necessary, top off:
Engine coolant level.
Brake fluid level (if insufficient, see an
authorized dealer as soon as possible).
Windshield washer fluid level.
Tire inflation pressure and condition.
Operation of lighting system
(headlights, direction indicators, hazard
warning lights, etc.).
Operation of windshield
washing/wiping system and
positioning/wear of wiper blades.
Every 2,000 miles ( 3,000km), check and
top off if required:
Engine oil level.
Heavy Usage Of The Vehicle
If the vehicle is used under one of the
following conditions:
Dusty roads.
Short, repeated journeys less than
4 miles (7-8 km) at sub-zero outside
temperatures.
Engine often idling or driving long
distances at low speeds or long periods
of inactivity.
In the event of a long period of inactivity.
The following checks must be carried out
more often than indicated in the
Scheduled Servicing Plan:
Check cleanliness of hood and trunk
locks, cleanliness and lubrication of
linkage.
Visually inspect conditions of: engine,
transmission, pipes and hoses
(exhaust/fuel system/brakes) and rubber
elements (sleeves/bushes, etc.).
Check battery charge and battery fluid
level (electrolyte).
Visually inspect conditions of the
accessory drive belts.
Check and, if necessary, change engine
oil and replace oil filter.
Check and, if necessary, replace cabin
air filter.
Check and, if necessary, replace air
cleaner.
Severe Duty All Models
Change Engine Oil at 4,000 miles
(6,500 km) if the vehicle is operated in a
dusty and off-road environment or is
operated predominately at idle or only
very low engine RPM’s. This type of
vehicle use is considered Severe Duty.

(3) Areas that are not dusty: recommended maximum mileage 36,000 miles (60,00 km). Regardless of the mileage, the belt must be replaced every 4 years. Dusty areas and/or demanding use of the vehicle (cold climates, town use, long periods of idling): advised maximum mileage 18,000 miles (30,000 km). Regardless of the mileage,
