Q: What is FIA homologation, and do all RECARO seats have it?
-
A: FIA (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile) homologation is a certification for racing seats, ensuring they meet strict safety standards for motorsport competition. Only RECARO's dedicated racing shell seats are FIA-approved; their sport and comfort seats are designed for road use and do not carry this certification.

-
Q: What maintenance is required for RECARO seat upholstery?
-
A: Regular vacuuming and cleaning with a mild, pH-neutral fabric cleaner (for cloth seats) or a leather-specific cleaner/conditioner (for leather seats) are recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes to preserve the upholstery's longevity and appearance.
-
Q: Can I retain my original seatbelt and airbag functionality with RECARO seats?
-
A: RECARO seats are compatible with OEM 3-point seatbelts. However, if your original seats had integrated side airbags, their removal and replacement with aftermarket seats will likely disable the airbag functionality and may trigger warning lights. Professional installation is advised, and local regulations should be checked regarding airbag functionality changes.
