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.

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.

properly secured at both
sides to prevent it moves forward in
the event of sharp braking causing in-
juries to passengers.

tive, never place child’s seats
with the cradle facing backwards since
the air bag activation could cause to
the child serious injuries, even mortal,
regardless of the seriousness of the
crash that triggered it. You are advised
to carry children always with proper
restraint systems on the rear seats, as
this is the most protected position in
the case of a crash.

seat with the cradle facing
backwards, deactivate the
passenger's front and side bags (for
chest and pelvis protection, for ver-
sions/markets, where provided) using
the set up menu and then check
warning light “on the cluster to
make sure that deactivation has ac-
tually took place. The front passen-
ger's seat shall be adjusted in the
most backward position to prevent
any contact between child's seat and
dashboard.
WARNINGOver 1.50 m in height, from the point of
view of restraint systems, children are
considered as adults and wear the seat
belts normally.

ed choice, as they have been designed and
experimented specifically for Abarth cars.
