Alfa Romeo Giulia Owner's Handbook Manual page 89

IMPORTANT To obtain the highest
degree of protection from the action of
the pretensioner, wear the seat belt tight
to the torso and pelvis.
LOAD LIMITERS
71)
31)
To increase safety in the event of an
accident, the front and rear lateral seat
belt retractors contain a load limiter
which controls the force acting on the
chest and shoulders during the belt
restraining action in the event of a
head-on collision.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
THE SEAT BELTS
72) 73) 74)
Respect and ensure that all the other
occupants of the vehicle comply with the
local laws in force regarding the use of
seat belts. Always fasten the seat belts
before setting off.
Seat belts must also be worn by pregnant
women: the risk of injury in the event of
an accident is reduced for them and the
unborn child if they are wearing a seat
belt.
Pregnant women must position the lower
part of the belt very low down so that it
passes over the pelvis and under the
abdomen fig. 83. While pregnancy
progresses, the driver must adjust both
seat and steering wheel to have full
control over the vehicle (pedals and
steering wheel must be easy to access).
The maximum clearance should be kept
between the abdomen and the steering
wheel.
83
The seat belt must not be twisted. The
upper part must pass over the shoulder
and cross the chest diagonally. The lower
part must adhere to the pelvis fig. 84, not
to the abdomen of the occupant. Never
use devices (clips, clamps, etc.) that hold
the seat belt away from your body.
84
Each seat belt must be used by only one
person. Never travel with a child sitting
on the passenger's lap and a single belt to
protect them both fig. 85. In general, do
not place any objects between the person
and the belt.
