IMPORTANT Correct backrest fastening

is guaranteed when the “red band” on the

backrest folding levers is no longer visible.

The “red band” actually indicates that the

backrest is not properly secured. Make

sure the backrest is properly repositioned,

you should hear the locking click.

IMPORTANT After putting the seats back

to their travelling position, restore the

seat belt position to make them ready for

use.

S.B.R. SYSTEM

The car is fitted with the S.B.R. system

(Seat Belt Reminder), consisting of a

buzzer which, together with the turning

on of warning light 

<

on the instrument

panel, warns the driver to fasten the seat

belt. 

The buzzer can be deactivated (until the

next engine stop) as follows:

❒ fasten the driver’s and passenger’s seat

belt; 

❒ turn the ignition key to MAR;

❒ wait for over 20 seconds and then re-

lease one of the seat belts.

For permanent deactivation, contact

Abarth Dealership.

With multifunction display, the S.B.R. sys-

tem can also be reset through the set-up

menu.

Remember that in the event

of a violent collision, back

seat passengers not wearing seat belts

also represent a serious danger for

the front seat passengers.

WARNING

Make sure the backrest is

properly secured at both

sides to prevent it moves forward in

the event of sharp braking causing in-

juries to passengers.
