General Safety Regulations

The cars are fitted with seat belts for the front and rear seats in accordance with current legislation. All belts have been tested for type approval.

On the strap is a label stating the manufacturer, manufacturer's part number and year of production, type approval code and Saab original part number.

Warning

The label must not be removed from the belt strap. No changes or repairs may be made to the belt and no fixing points changed. Ensure that the type of belt fitted and its position comply with the specification given in the spare part literature.

Belts which have been stressed in connection with an accident must be replaced and destroyed so they cannot be re-used.

When a car has been involved in a collision and a belt tensioner has been activated, the entire inertia reel with belt tensioner, buckle lock and end fitting must be replaced.

If any of the rear belts were in use at the time of the accident, they must be replaced together with the seat-belt buckle.

If no belt tensioner has been activated, inspect all belts and other equipment thoroughly. Check and if necessary replace the other components in the SRS system, see Group 8, Airbag (SRS).

Even if the belt tensioner has not been activated, it must be scrapped, see Group 8, Airbag (SRS) ”Adjustment and Replacement”.
