Child Restraints - Alfa Romeo 4C 2015 User Manual

Supplemental Side Air Bags
• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Door-Integrated Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains
(SABICs). The SABICs are located in the door trim below the side windows. The trim covering the
SABICs is labeled SRS AIRBAG.
• The SABICs may help reduce the risk of partial or complete ejection of vehicle occupants
through side windows in certain side impact events.
• SABICs are designed to activate in certain side impacts. The Occupant Restraint Controller
("ORC") determines whether the deployment of the SABIC in a particular impact event is
appropriate, based on the severity and type of collision. Vehicle damage by itself is not a good
indicator of whether or not SABICs should have deployed.
• Relying on the SABICs alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The SABICs
work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some collisions, SABICs won't deploy at
all. Always wear your seat belt even though you have SABICs.
• SABICs need room to inflate. Do not lean against the door or window. Sit upright in the
center of the seat.
• Being too close to the SABICs during deployment could cause you to be severely injured or
killed.
• Your vehicle is equipped with left and right Supplemental Door-Integrated Side Air Bag
Inflatable Curtains (SABICs). Do not stack luggage or other cargo up high enough to block
the deployment of the SABICs. The door trim below the side windows where the SABIC and
its deployment path are located, should remain free from any obstructions.

CHILD RESTRAINTS

Children 12 years or younger should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if available. According to
crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seats rather than in the front.
Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small children ride in
proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.
NOTE:
• For additional information, refer to www.seatcheck.org or call 1–866–SEATCHECK.
• Canadian residents should refer to Transport Canada's website for additional information:

Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
The seat belts in the passenger seating positions are equipped with a Switchable Automatic
Locking Retractor (ALR) that is designed to keep the lap portion of the seat belt tight around the
child restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally, and pull
it tight if necessary.
