Safety Belts - Saab 2003 9-5 2.3 Turbo Ecopower Owner's Manual

Safety belts

WARNING
Safety belts must be worn at all times by
all car occupants.
Child safety, see page 23.
Check that the locking tongue is properly
locked in the belt lock.
Three-point inertia-reel safety belts are
provided for all seats.
Research has established that it is just as
dangerous for rear seat passengers not to
wear their safety belts as it is for front seat
passengers.
WARNING
In the event of a crash, the rear-seat
passengers not wearing a seatbelt will
thrown forward against the front-seat
backrests. The stresses imposed on the
front seat passengers and belts are multi-
plied and can result in needless injury or
even death for all car occupants.
WARNING
Adjustments of the safety belt should be
done when the car is stationary so that
attention to traffic is not reduced.
Bear in mind that in certain states it is a legal
requirement for all occupants of the car to
wear a safety belt.
Safety
FASTEN BELTS
Safety-belt reminder
When the ignition is switched on, the "fasten
belts" reminder will light up until the driver
fastens the safety belt. In addition an audi-
ble signal sounds for 6 seconds, or until the
driver fastens his belt.
