has not been reached or with
MAX-DEF function activation;
❒during the first period of use, to
initialise the system.ENGINE RESTARTING
CONDITIONS
Due to comfort, emission control and
safety reasons, the engine can restart

torso straight and rested against the
backrest.
To fasten the seat belts, hold the
tongue A fig. 106 and insert it into the

perfectly normal. Furthermore, the
retractor mechanism locks the belt if it
is pulled sharply or in the event of
sudden braking, collisions or
high-speed bends.
The rear seat is fitted with inertia seat
belts with three anchor points and a
retractor.

passengers if their seat belt has not
been fastened.

(provided as an alternative to the
warning light on the instrument panel)
located above the interior rear view
mirror, which warns the front and back
seat passengers through acoustic
and visual signals if their seat belts have
not been fastened.
Contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership to
deactivate this acoustic warning
permanently.
The acoustic warning can be
reactivated at any time through the
Setup Menu (see "Menu options"
paragraph in the “Knowing the
instrument panel” chapter).
The warning lights may be red or green
and operate as follows:

left-hand drive versions);
❒2 = rear left seat (passenger);
❒3 = rear centre seat (passenger);❒4 = rear right seat (passenger);
❒5 = front right seat (passenger status
