¬
(red)
Fitting the key into the ignition
device the warning light turns on, but
it should go off after few seconds.
The warning light stays on glowing
steadily with the message on the dis-
play to indicate a failure in the air bag
system.
WARNING
If the ¬ warning light
does not turn on when
fitting the key into the ignition
device, or if stays on when
travelling (together with the
message on the display), this
could indicate a failure in safe-
ty systems; under this condi-
tion air bags or pretensioners
could not trigger in the event
of collision or, in a restricted
number of cases, they could
trigger accidentally. Before
restarting contact Alfa Romeo
Authorized Services to have
the system checked.
WARNING
Warning light ¬ failure

flashing for more than the nor-
mal 4 seconds of the passen-
ger's front air bag deactivated

the air bag system will deac-
tivate automatically the pas-
senger's front air bag (front
and side where provided). In
this event warning light ¬
could not indicate failure in
safety systems. Before restart-
ing contact Alfa Romeo Autho-
rized Services immediately to
have the system checked.
