deactivate airbag Alfa Romeo Stelvio 2019 Owner's Manual

Main recommendations to carry
children safely
Install the child restraint systems on
the rear seat, which is the most protected
position in the event of an impact.
Keep children in rearward facing child
restraint systems for as long as possible,
until 3–4 years old if possible.
The rear head restraint or the front
passenger head restraint can be lifted if
needed to install a child restraint system.
The head restraint must always be
present in the vehicle and fitted if the
seat is used by an adult passenger or a
child sitting in a restraint system without
backrest (refer to the procedure
described in ‘’Head restraint’’ paragraph,
‘’Knowing your vehicle’’ chapter).
If the front passenger airbag has been
deactivated, always check that the
warning light on the courtesy light is on
continuously to make sure that it is
effectively deactivated.
Carefully follow the instructions
supplied with the child restraint system.
Keep the instructions in the vehicle along
with the other documents and this
handbook. Do not use second-hand child
seats without instructions.
Only one child is to be strapped into
each restraint system; never carry two
children using one child restraint system.
Always check that the seat belts do
not rest on the child’s neck.
Always check that the seat belt is well
fastened by pulling on it.
While travelling, do not let the child sit
incorrectly or unfasten the belts.
Never allow a child to put the belt's
diagonal section under an arm or behind
their back.
Never carry children on your lap, even
newborns. No-one can hold a child in the
case of a crash.
In the event of an accident, replace the
child restraint system with a new one.
WARNING
74)SEVERE DANGER When a front
passenger airbag is fitted, do not install
rearward facing child restraint systems on
the front passenger seat. Deployment of the
airbag in an accident could cause fatal
injuries to the child regardless of the
severity of the collision. It is advisable to
always carry children in a child restraint
system on the rear seat, which is the most
protected position in the event of a collision.
75)On the sun visor there is a label with
suitable symbols reminding the user that it is
compulsory to deactivate the airbag if a
rearward facing child restraint system is
fitted. Always comply with the instructions
on the passenger side sun visor (see the
"Supplementary Restraint System (SRS) -
Airbag" paragraph).76)Should it be necessary to carry a child on
the passenger side front seat in a rear facing
child restraint system, the passenger side
front airbag and side bag must be
deactivated through the Connect system
main menu (see the Supplementary
Restraint System (SRS) - Airbag"
paragraph), verifying deactivation by
checking whether the
OFFLED has
illuminated on the front ceiling light. Move
the passenger's seat as far back as possible
to avoid contact between the child seat and
the dashboard.
77)Do not move the front or rear seat if a
child is seated on it or on the dedicated child
restraint system
78)Incorrect fitting of the child restraint
system may result in an inefficient
protection system. In the event of an
accident the child restraint system may
become loose and the child may be injured,
even fatally. When fitting a restraint system
for newborns or children, strictly comply
with the instructions provided by the
Manufacturer.
79)When the child restraint system is not
used, secure it with the seat belt or with the
ISOFIX anchorages, or remove it from the
vehicle. Do not leave it unsecured inside the
passenger compartment. In this way, in the
case of sudden braking or an accident, it will
not cause injuries to the occupants.
80)After installing a child restraint system,
do not move the seat: always remove the
child restraint system before making any
adjustment.

SAFETY

Deactivating/activating the passenger
side airbags: front airbag and side bag
(where provided)
To deactivate the front and side
passenger side airbag, use the Connect
system. Select the following functions in
succession from the main Menu, and
activate them by pressing the MENU
fig. 91 button: “Settings", "Safety", "Front
Passenger Airbag". They can be selected
by turning and pressing the Rotary Pad.
The system informs you of the
activation/deactivation status of the
airbags and asks for confirmation of the
status change. Press the Rotary Pad if
you want to proceed.On the dashboard are the ON and OFF
LED status. Moving the ignition device to
MAR, the two LEDs switch on for a few
seconds. If not, contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership. During the first seconds, the
activation of the LEDs does not actually
show the passenger protection status,
but only checks its correct operation.
After a test of a few seconds, the LEDs
will indicate the status of the passenger
airbag protection.
Passenger protection activated: the ON
LED fig. 92 switches on fixed.
Passenger protection deactivated: the
OFF LED turns on fixed.

SIDE AIRBAGS
To help increase occupants protection in
the event of side impact collisions, the
vehicle is equipped with front side bags
and window bags.
Side bag
These consist of two bags located in the
front seat backrests fig. 94 that protect
the occupants’ pelvis, chest and shoulder
area in the event of a side impact of
medium/high severity.
They are marked by the "AIRBAG" label
sewn on the outer side of the front seats.
Window bag
This consists of a "curtain" bag housed
behind the roof side linings and covered
by special trims fig. 95.
They are designed to protect the head of
front and rear occupants in the event of a
side collision, thanks to the wide cushion
inflation surface.The deployment of side bags in the event
of side impacts of low severity is not
required.
In the event of a side impact, the system
provides best protection if the passenger
sits on the seat in a correct position,
allowing the window bag to inflate
correctly.

Important notes
Do not wash the seats with water or
pressurised steam (wash by hand or at
automatic seat washing stations).
The front and/or side airbags may
activate in the event of sharp impacts to
the underbody of the vehicle (e.g. impact
with steps, pavements, potholes or road
bumps etc.).
When the airbag deploys it emits a small
amount of dust: the dust is harmless and
does not indicate the beginning of a fire.The dust may irritate the skin and eyes
however: in this case, wash with neutral
soap and water.
Airbag checking, repair and replacement
must be carried out at an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
If the car is scrapped, have the airbag
system deactivated at an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
Pretensioners and airbags are deployed
in different ways on the basis of the type
of collision. Failure to activate one or
more of the devices does not indicate a
system malfunction.
WARNING
87)Do not apply stickers or other objects on
the steering wheel, on the dashboard in the
passenger side airbag area, on side
upholstery on the roof or on the seats. Never
put objects (e.g. mobile phones) on the
passenger side of the dashboard since they
could interfere with correct inflation of the
passenger airbag and also cause serious
injury to the passengers.
88)Always drive with your hands on the rim
of the steering wheel so that the airbag can
inflate freely if required. Do not drive with
your body bent forward. Keep your back
straight against the backrest.
89)The passenger airbag can be
deactivated on the Connect system by
selecting the following functions in sequence
on the main menu: “Settings”; “Safety”;
