GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

FOR THE USE OF THE
SEAT BELTS
All the occupants of the car are obliged to
respect the local traffic laws regarding the
wearing of seat belts.
Always fasten the seat belts before start-
ing.
WARNING
To ensure the highest de-
gree of protection, you are
recommended to keep the seat
backrest in the straightest position
possible, and the belt adhering well
to the chest and pelvis.
Seat belt should always be worn
in both the front and rear positions!
Travelling without seat belt in-
creases the risk of serious injury or
death in the case of accident.
WARNING
The seat belt must not be
twisted and should cling
tightly to the body. The upper part
must pass over the shoulder and
diagonally across the chest. The
lower part must rest across the
pelvis and not across the stomach
to eliminate the risk of sliding for-
wards (fig. 48). Do not use devices
(clips, stoppers, etc.) which keep
the belts away from the body.
WARNING
Under no circumstances
should the components of
the seat belts and pretensioner be
tampered with or removed. Any
operation should be carried out by
qualified and authorised personnel.
Always contact an Alfa Romeo Au-
thorized Service.
