Saab 9-5 2011 Owner's Manual page 58

The inflated airbags cushion the im‐
pact, thereby reducing the risk of in‐
jury to the upper body and head of the
front seat occupants.
9 Warning
■ Children can be killed or seri‐
ously injured by the airbag.
■ The rear seat is the SAFEST
place for children 12 and under
or shorter than 4 ft 7 in.
■ ALWAYS use SAFETY BELTS
and CHILD RESTRAINTS.
■ NEVER put a rear-facing child
seat in the front.
■ Position the seat as far back
from the airbag as possible.
■ Never allow a child to stand in
front of the seat or to sit on the
lap of a front seat passenger.
Seats, restraints
Serious injury or death could oc‐
cur if the airbag is inflated in
a collision.
■ The glove compartment must be
closed while travelling. An open
glove compartment lid could
cause leg injuries in the event of
a collision.
■ Never place anything on the
dashboard or in front of the seat.
In addition to being a hazard to
passengers, this could interfere
with the function of the airbag in
the event of a collision. The
same applies to the mounting of
accessories on the dashboard.
■ Keep your feet on the floor -
never put your feet up on the
dashboard, on the seat or out of
the window.
■ Do not carry anything in your
lap.
