Front Air Bags - Alfa Romeo GT Owner's Manual

Group 1
For proper mounting proceed as follows:
– check whether the release lever (B-
fig. 49) is at rest position (inward);
– find the presetting brackets (A), then
position the child restraint system with fas-
tening devices (C) aligned with the brack-
ets;
– push the child restraint system until hear-
ing the locking clicks;
– check proper locking by moving the
child's seat with force: the built-in safety
mechanism actually inhibits improper cou-
pling with only one coupling locked.

With this configuration, the child is secured
also by the car seat belts and by the upper
belts. To apply car seat belts to child's seat
refer to the child's seat handbook.

AIR BAG
The car is fitted with front air bags for the
driver and for the passenger (side bags - win-
dow bags).

FRONT AIR BAGS

The front air bag (driver's and passenger's)
has been designed to protect the occupants
in the event of head-on crashes of medium-
A0A0664b
high severity by placing the cushion between
the occupant and the steering wheel or dash-
board.
Front air bags are designed to protect the
car occupants in front crashes and therefore
non-activation in other types of collisions
(side collisions, rear-end shunts, roll-overs,
etc...) is not a system malfunction.
In the case of a crash, an electronic con-
trol unit, when necessary, triggers inflation
of the cushion.
The cushion inflates instantaneously, set-
ting itself between the body of the front oc-
cupants and the structures that could cause
injury. The cushion then deflates immedi-
ately afterwards.
