Side Air Bags; Window Bag - Alfa Romeo GT Owner's Manual

The key can be inserted and removed in
both positions.
IMPORTANT Operate the switch only
when the engine is not running and the ig-
nition key is removed.
The key-operated switch has two positions:
– passenger's front airbag activated (ON
position P): warning light F on instru-
ment cluster off; it is absolutely prohibited
to carry a child on the front seat.
– passenger's front airbag deactivated
(OFF position F): warning light F on
instrument cluster on; it is possible to carry
a child protected by special restraint system
on the front seat.
The warning light F on the cluster stays
on permanently until the passenger's air bag
is reactivated.
Deactivation of the passenger's front air
bag does not inhibit operation of the side air
bag.

SIDE AIR BAGS

(SIDE BAG - WINDOW BAG)
SIDE BAG (fig. 53)
The side bag is formed of an instanta-
neously-inflating cushion housed in the back
rest of the front seat and protects the chest
of occupants in case of a side crash of medi-
um-high severity.

WINDOW BAG (fig. 54)
The window bag is formed of two "cur-
tain" cushions housed in the side roof lining
covered by a special trim, which protects the
head of front and rear occupants in the event
of a side crash thanks to the wide cushion
inflation surface.
IMPORTANT In the event of side crash,
you can obtain the best protection by the
system keeping a correct position on the
seat, thus allowing correct window bag un-
folding.
