Do not apply stickers or
other objects on the steer-
ing wheel and on the pas-
senger’s air bag cover. Do not put
objects on the dashboard on the
passenger’s side (e.g. cell phones)
because they may interfere with
the correct passenger’s air bag
opening and seriously injure the oc-
cupants of the car.
The driver’s and passenger’s front air bag
has been designed to improve the protec-
tion of a person wearing a seat belt.
Its volume at maximum inflation fills
most of the space between the steering
wheel and the driver and between the
dashboard and the passenger.
In the event of minor side crashes (for
which the restraining action of the seat
belts is sufficient), the air bags are not
deployed. Also in this case it is of vital
importance to wear the seat belts since in
case of side crash they guarantee proper
positioning of the occupant. DRIVER’S FRONT AIR BAG
It is formed of a cushion contained in a
special recess that inflates instantaneously
(fig. 50). The front air bag (driver’s and passen-
ger’s) does not replace but is complemen-
tary to the use of belts, which should
always be worn, as specified by law in
Europe and most non-European countries.
In the event of a crash a person that is
not wearing the seat belt moves forwards
and may come into contact with the cush-
ion while it is still opening. Under these
circumstances the protection offered by
the cushion is reduced.
Front air bags may not be triggered in
the following conditions:
– collisions against highly deformable
objects which do not concern the car front
surface (for example the bumper crashing
against the guard rail);
– wedging under other vehicles or pro-
tective barriers (for example under a lorry
or guard rail);
as they do not offer any more protection
than the seat belts and therefore activa-
tion would be inappropriate. Therefore the
failure to be triggered does not mean that
the system is not working properly.

For the installation of a
cell phone and connection
to the provision in the car,
contact only Alfa Romeo Autho-
rised Services; this will guarantee
first-rate results with no possibil-
ity of any inconvenience that may
compromise the safety of the ve-
hicle.
The voice kit should be
purchased by the customer
as it must be compatible
with the customer’s phone.RADIO TRANSMITTERS
AND CELLULAR
TELEPHONES
Radio transceiver equipment (e.g.: e-tacs
mobile phones, HAM radio systems and the
like) shall not be used inside the car unless
a separate aerial is mounted outside the car.
The use of these devices inside the pas-
senger compartment (without external aer-
ial) may cause electrical systems equipping
the car to malfunction. This could compro-
mise car safety in addition to constituting
a potential hazard for the passengers.
In addition, transmission and reception of
these devices may be affected by the shield-
ing effect of the car body.
As concerns the use of mobile phones
(GSM, GPRS, UMTS) provided with offi-
cial EC approval, strictly comply with the in-
structions given by the mobile phone man-
ufacturer.
ACCESSORIES
PURCHASED
BY THE OWNER
If after buying the car, you decide to install
electrical accessories that require a perma-
nent electric supply (alarm, voice feature,
radionavigator with satellite antitheft, etc.)
or accessories that in any case burden the
electric supply, contact Alfa Romeo Autho-
rised Services, whose qualified personnel,
besides suggesting the most suitable devices
belonging to Lineaccessori Alfa Romeo, will
also evaluate the overall electric absorption,
checking whether the vehicle electric system
is able to withstand the load required, or
whether it needs to be integrated with a
more powerful battery.
