Seat Belts And Pregnant Women; Seat Belt Pretensioner; Energy Management Feature; Pregnant Women And Seat Belts - Alfa Romeo Stelvio 2019 User Manual

As a guide, if you are shorter than
average, you will prefer the shoulder belt
anchorage in a lower position, and if you
are taller than average, you will prefer the
shoulder belt anchorage in a higher
position. After you release the anchorage
button, try to move it up or down to make
sure that it is locked in position.
Note:
The adjustable upper shoulder belt
anchorage is equipped with an Easy Up
feature. This feature allows the shoulder
belt anchorage to be adjusted in the
upward position without pushing or
squeezing the release button. To verify
the shoulder belt anchorage is latched,
pull downward on the shoulder belt
anchorage until it is locked into position.
Warning!
Wearing your seat belt incorrectly could
make your injuries in a collision much worse.
You might suffer internal injuries, or you
could even slide out of the seat belt. Follow
these instructions to wear your seat belt
safely and to keep your passengers safe,
too.
Position the shoulder belt across the
shoulder and chest with minimal, if any slack
so that it is comfortable and not resting on
your neck. The retractor will withdraw any
slack in the shoulder belt.
Misadjustment of the seat belt could
reduce the effectiveness of the safety belt
in a crash.
Always make all seat belt height
adjustments when the vehicle is stationary.

Seat Belts And Pregnant Women

Pregnant Women And Seat Belts

Seat belts must be worn by all occupants
including pregnant women: the risk of
injury in the event of an accident is
reduced for the mother and the unborn
child if they are wearing a seat belt.
Position the lap belt snug and low below
the abdomen and across the strong
bones of the hips. Place the shoulder belt
across the chest and away from the neck.
Never place the shoulder belt behind the
back or under the arm.

Seat Belt Pretensioner

The front outboard seat belt system is
equipped with pretensioning devices that
are designed to remove slack from the
seat belt in the event of a collision. These
devices may improve the performance of
the seat belt by removing slack from the
seat belt early in a collision.
Pretensioners work for all size
occupants, including those in child
restraints.
Note:
These devices are not a substitute for
proper seat belt placement by the
occupant. The seat belt still must be worn
snugly and positioned properly.
The pretensioners are triggered by the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC).
Like the air bags, the pretensioners are
single use items. A deployed
pretensioner or a deployed air bag must
be replaced immediately.

Energy Management Feature

The front outboard seat belt system is
equipped with an Energy Management
feature that may help further reduce the
risk of injury in the event of a collision.
The seat belt system has a retractor
