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 codes and Saab genuine 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 parts literature.

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