2.2 Exclusion of liability and guarantee
RECARO seats are generally only suitable for use in cabins in their original state.
When installing the seat, ensure that adequate space remains between the seat and the cabin's components
(e.g. tipping activator, control units).
It might be necessary to reposition any cabin components which may impede smooth running (e.g. tipping
activator).
The seat's guarantee requires that these installation instructions are fully and precisely complied with.
Ignoring or only partially complying with these installation instructions, or making your own modifications to
the product invalidate the guarantee liability. This also applies to the use of components that have not been
approved by RECARO, e.g. drink holders, clothes hooks, fire extinguishers, etc.
The seat must be installed solely in accordance with and in precise adherence to these installation
instructions. Neither the seat nor the adaptation to the vehicle floor assembly may be changed, and doing so
will result in complete exclusion of liability.
Danger:
An incorrectly installed seat might result in significant additional risks to your health and bodily
harm in the event of an accident. You must precisely follow all of the instructions, descriptions,
general warnings and hazard warnings, etc.
The RECARO seat has been solely designed for use in left-hand drive vehicles.
If the seat is installed in a right-hand drive vehicle, components located in the immediate vicinity of
the seat may cause inadvertent adjustment of the control elements. We are also unable to
guarantee the accessibility of the controls.
In the event of stress load, such as that caused by an accident, crash or similar, the seat may shift
position.
RECARO seats are only to be installed in vehicles that have received official installation approval
from the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA), (i.e. a vehicle without a 2nd row of seats / no
steering wheel airbag, seats with 3-point integral harness / no airbag / no tensioner).
If the event of non-observance, there is a direct risk of very serious or fatal injuries.
If your original seat is equipped with an airbag and / or belt tensioner you may not replace it with a
RECARO seat. These systems have been designed to provide active injury protection in the event
of an accident, crash or similar for the corresponding vehicle model. If the seat is replaced, this
accident protection will no longer be provided.
