replace the belt if the pretensioners
were deployed;
❒ hand wash the seat belts with water
and neutral soap, rinse and leave to
dry in the shade. Never use strong
detergents, bleach, paints or any
other substance which could
damage the belt fibres;
❒ prevent the retractors from getting
wet: their correct operation is only
guaranteed if water does not get

wear or cuts.

WARNING
73) The pretensioner may be used
only once. After its activation,
contact an Alfa Romeo Dealership
to have it replaced.
74) Removing or otherwise
tampering with pretensioner and
seat belt components is strictly
prohibited. Any operations on
these components must be
performed by qualified and
authorised technicians. Always
contact an Alfa Romeo
Dealership.
75) For maximum protection, keep
the backrest upright, lean back
into it and make sure the seat belt
fits closely across your chest
and pelvis. Always fasten the seat
belts for both the front and rear
seats! Travelling without wearing
seat belts will increase the risk
of serious injury and even death in
the event of an accident.
