FITTING “UNIVERSAL” CHILD
SEAT (with seat belts)
GROUP 0 and 0+
The diagram is indicative and for assembly purposes
only. Fit the child seat according to the instructions,
which must be included.
Infants up to 13 kg must be carried with a child seat facing backwards
of a type as shown in fig. 96 which, supporting the head, does not
induce stress on the neck in the event of sudden decelerations.
The child seat is secured by the car seat belts, as shown in fig. 96 and
it must restrain the child in turn with its own belts.
GROUP 1
The diagram is indicative and for assembly purposes
only. Fit the child seat according to the instructions,
which must be included.
Children of weight from 9 to 18 kg may be carried in child seats
facing forwards fig. 97.
Child seats with Isofix attachments are available,
which allow them to be secured to the seat safely
without using the car seat belts.

GROUP 2
The diagram is indicative and for assembly purposes
only. Fit the child seat according to the instructions,
which must be included.
Children from 15 to 25 kg may use the car seat belts directly fig. 98.
In this case, the child restraint system is used to position the child
correctly with respect to the seat belts so that the diagonal belt section
crosses the child’s chest and not the neck, and the lower part is snug
on the pelvis not the abdomen.
GROUP 3
The diagram is indicative and for assembly purposes
only. Fit the child seat according to the instructions,
which must be included.
For children between 22 kg and 36 kg, there are dedicated restraint
systems that allow the seat belt to be worn correctly.
fig. 99 shows an example of correct child seat positioning on the rear
seat.
Children over 1.50 m in height can wear seat belts like adults.

PREPARATION FOR “ISOFIX”
CHILD SEAT
The car is equipped with ISOFIX anchorages, a new standard which
makes fitting a child seat quick, simple and safe.
Isofix systems can be fitted alongside conventional child seats on
different seats in the same car.
An example of a Universal Isofix child seat for weight group 1 is
shown in fig. 100.
The diagram is indicative and for assembly purposes
only. Fit the child seat according to the instructions,
which must be included.
The other weight groups are covered by specific Isofix child seats,
which can be used only if specifically tested for this car (see list of cars
provided with the child seat).
IMPORTANT The central rear seat is not approved for any type of Isofix
child seat.

HANDBRAKE
To engage the handbrake pull lever A fig. 111 upwards until the car is
secured. To release the handbrake, raise lever A slightly, hold down
button B and lower the lever.
IMPORTANT Carry out these manoeuvres with the brake pedal
pressed.
IMPORTANT For cars equipped with a front armrest, lift this up to
ensure that it does not interfere with the action of the handbrake.
The car should be locked after a few notches: if this is
not the case, contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services
to have the handbrake adjusted.
USING THE GEARBOX
To engage the gears, fully depress the clutch pedal and put the gear
lever into the desired position (the diagram for gear engagement
is shown on the knob of the lever fig. 112, fig. 113, fig. 114).
