HOW TO KEEP THE SEAT
BELTS ALWAYS IN
EFFICIENT CONDITIONS
❒ Always use the belt with the tape taut

and never twisted; make sure that
it is free to run without impediments;

❒ after a serious accident, replace the

belt being worn at that time, even if
it does not appear damaged. Always
replace the seat belts if pretensioners
have been activated;

❒ to clean the belts, wash by hand with

neutral soap, rinse and leave to dry
in the shade. Never use strong de-
tergents, bleach or dyes or other
chemical substance that might weak-
en the fibres;

❒ prevent the reels from getting wet:

their correct operation is only guar-
anteed if water does not get inside;

❒ replace the seat belt when showing

significant wear or cut signs.

IMPORTANT Never travel with a child
sitting on the passenger’s lap with a sin-
gle belt to protect them both

Do not fasten other objects to the body.

Under no circumstances
should the components

of the seat belts and preten-
sioners be tampered with or
removed. Any operation
should be carried out by qual-
ified and authorised personnel.
Always contact Alfa Romeo
Authorized Services.

WARNING

If the belt has been
subjected to heavy

stress, for example after an
accident, it should be changed
completely together with the
anchors, anchor fastening
screws and the pretensioners.
In fact, even if the belt has no
visible defects, it could have
lost its resilience.
