How to read this fitment matrix: ABE available means RECARO indicates ABE approval for the seat, baseframe and vehicle combination. Can be installed, but no ABE available means the seat can be installed with this baseframe, but RECARO does not indicate ABE approval for that exact combination. Not tested means RECARO has not tested that seat with this vehicle/baseframe combination, so fitment cannot be guaranteed.
