S.B.R. SYSTEM

(Seat Belt Reminder)

The car is fitted with the S.B.R. system
(Seat Belt Reminder), consisting of a
buzzer which, together with the turning
on of warning light <, warns the driver
and the front passenger to fasten the
seat belt.
The buzzer can be muted temporarily by
the following procedure:
❒ fasten the front seat belts;
❒ fit the electronic key into the ignition de-
vice;
❒ wait for over 20 seconds but less than
1 minute and then unfasten one of the
front seat belts.
This procedure will stand valid till next en-
gine switching off.
For permanent deactivation, contact Alfa
Romeo Authorized Services. The S.B.R.
system can only be reset through the set-
up menu (see paragraph "Reconfigurable
multifunction display" in section "Dash-
board and controls").
