VETTURA
The belt must not be twisted. The upper
part must pass over the shoulder and
cross the chest diagonally. The lower part must
adhere to the pelvis fig. 110 not to the
abdomen. Do not use devices (clips, clamps,
etc.) that prevent the belts from being tight
against to the passengers’ bodies.
WARNING
F0U110Abfig. 110
Maximum protection is obtained if the
backrest is kept straight: the passenger’s
back must lean against the backrest and the
seat belt must be tight on the chest and pelvis.
Always fasten the seat belts on both the front
and the rear seats. Travelling without seat belts
fastened increases the risk of serious injuries or
even death in the event of a crash.
WARNING
Under no circumstances should the seat
belt and pretensioner components be
removed or tampered with. Any operations
must be carried out by qualified and authorised
personnel only. Always contact an Abarth
Dealership.

SEATS AND FABRIC PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. It is
advisable to use a moist brush on velvet upholstery.
Rub the seats with a sponge moistened with a solution
of water and neutral detergent.
The fabric upholstery of your car is
designed to withstand normal wear and
tear for a long time. Some precautions
are however needed. Avoid prolonged rubbing
against clothing accessories, such as metal
buckles, Velcro strips and the like, which by
applying a high pressure on the fabric in a small
area could cause the breakage of some threads
and damage the upholstery.
LEATHER SEATS
(for versions/markets where provided)
Remove the dry dirt with a buckskin or slightly damp
cloth, without exercising too much pressure.
Remove any liquid or grease stains using an absorbent
dry cloth, without rubbing. Then clean with a soft cloth
or buckskin cloth dampened with water and neutral
soap.
If the stain persists, use specific products and observe
the instructions carefully.
IMPORTANT Never use alcohol. Make sure that the
cleaning products used contain no alcohol or alcohol
derivatives, even in small quantities.
