Sba (Seat Belt Alert) System - Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA Owner's Handbook Manual

SBA (Seat Belt Alert) SYSTEM

The SBA system warns front seat and
rear seat (GTA versions only) passengers
that their seat belts are not properly
fastened via visual warnings (warning
lights on in the instrument panel and
icons on the display) and an acoustic
warning (see the following paragraphs).
FRONT SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHT
BEHAVIOUR
When the ignition device is turned to
the ON position, the warning light
(see fig. 70) turns on for a few seconds,
regardless of the status of the front
seat belts (seat belts fastened or
unfastened).
With car moving slower than 12 mph (20
km/h), if the driver side seat belt or the
passenger side seat belt (with occupant
seated) is unfastened, the warning light
stays on constantly.
70
As soon as a speed threshold than 12 mph
(20 km/h) (variable speed according
to car conditions) is reached, with
driver side seat belt or the passenger
side seat belt (with occupant seated)
unfastened, an acoustic signal is
activated simultaneously with warning
light flashing for about 105 seconds.
Once activated, this warning cycle
remains active for the entire time if the
car is moving faster than 5 mph (8 km/h),
if reverse gear is not engaged or until the
seat belts are fastened.
If reverse is engaged during the warning
cycle, the acoustic signal is deactivated
and the warning light turns on fixed.
The warning cycle will be reactivated as
soon as the car exceeds 12 mph (20 km/h)
again.
If the car speed drops to less than 5 mph
(8 km/h) or if reverse gear is engaged
during the warning cycle, the tone will
be interrupted and the warning light will
turn on continuously.
If the entire time has not elapsed
and reverse gear is not engaged, the
indication cycle is reactivated as soon as
the car speed 12 mph (20 km/h) again.
REAR SEAT BELT ICON BEHAVIOUR
(GTA versions only)
The icons are shown on the instrument
06066S0001EM

position. The icons will turn off after

in seat belt fastening status, the icons
are shown again for approximately 65
seconds before disappearing.

than 12 mph (20 km/h), if a rear seat belt
is unbuckled, the icon stays on with fixed
light for a total of approximately 65
seconds.
The icons are displayed according to the
corresponding rear seat belts and stay
on for about 65 seconds from the last
