Air Bag Failure; Passenger’s Front Air Bag Deactivated - Alfa Romeo 156 Owner's Manual

AIR BAG FAILURE

When the ignition key is turned to MAR, the warning light on the check panel comes on, but must
go out after a few seconds. This warning light will come on glowing steadily if there is an operating
failure in the Air bag system.
If the ¬ warning light does not turn on when turning the ignition key
to MAR or if it stays on when travelling, this could indicate a failure
in safety retaining systems; under this condition air bags or pretensioners could
not trigger in the event of collision or, in a restricted number of cases, they
could trigger accidentally. Stop the car and contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Ser-
vices to have the system checked immediately.
The failure of the warning light ¬ (warning light off) is also indicated by the
flashing of the passenger's front Air bag deactivated warning light F for more
than the normal seconds.
PASSENGER'S FRONT AIR BAG DEACTIVATED
The check panel warning light F turns on when the passenger's front Air bag is deactivated by means
of the relevant key switch. With the passenger's front Air bag activated, turning the ignition key to
MAR, the warning light on the check panel comes on but must go out after approx. 4 seconds.
Warning light F indicates also warning light ¬ failure. This is indi-
cated by intermittent flashing, over 4 seconds, of warning light F.
In this event, warning light ¬ could be not up to indicate restraint system fail-
ures, if any. Stop the car and contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services to have
the system checked immediately.
