When the belt is locked into the rear
position, the warning lamp and buzzer
will shut off.
2
Fasten the lap belt after the automa-
tic shoulder belt is in place.
If the lap strap has not been fastened,
the buzzer will sound for a few more
seconds. The seat belt warning lamp on
the dashboard (under the fan switch)
will light up for around 8 seconds as a
reminder to fasten the lap strap.
WARNING! ·
If the warning lamp in the combined
instrument starts blinking when the car
is in motion, the passive seat belt sys-
tem is defective. Drive to an authorized
Saab service workshop immediately.
3 When the ignition is shut off or when
the driver's door is opened, the driver's
seat belt will return to the forward
position.
However, if the gear selector lever is in
the reverse position and the ignition is
on, the belt will not return to the for-
ward position, thus allowing the driver
to open the door for better visibility
while backing up.
The belt on the passenger side will start
moving towards the forward position as
soon as the passenger door is opened.
System malfUnction
In case of a malfunction in the passive seat
belt system:
Check the two 20A fuses under the back
seat on the left-hand side. See page 26 to
raise the rear seat. The electrical distribu-
tion box in the engine compartment con-
tains spare fuses. Ifthe fuses are intact, you
can still use the seat belts manually with
extra locking tongues. You'll find them in
the tool kit located in the trunk. The locking
tongues are different for the right-hand and
left-hand sides.
1
Fasten the locking tongue
(1)
and make
sure it is held in place by the latch (2) on
the upper side (to release the locking
tongue, the latch must first be moved to
the side).
2 Remove the seat belt at the upper
mounting point by pressing the red but-
ton marked "PRESS".
