Saab 9-3 Quick Reference Manual page 3

ALWAYS move the driver´s seat as far rear-
wards as practically possible for maximum
safety and control. The airbag needs space to
inflate.
Do not use mobile phone while driving.
LATCH (Lower Anchorages & Top tethers for
CHildren) consists of two types of attachments
for child restraints in the rear seat, the lower
anchorages and the top tether. The lower
anchorages are two rigid bars located in the
seat bight.
Correct seat position-
ing is vital for your
safety. Sit in an upright
position and not too
close to the instrument
panel.
NEVER fit a child seat in front of the passenger
AIRBAG. DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY can
occur. Children under 13 years of age or shorter
than 140 cm (56 inches) should travel in the rear
seat. Do not put objects between the airbags
and occupants.
Children from 3-12 years (15-36 kg/33-80 lbs,
shorter than 140 cm/56 inches) should be
seated in separate child seats or on booster
cushions. Ensure that the child is seated as far
back as possible. Check that the belt is fastened
and that it fits snugly, low across the hips and
well in on the shoulder.
Position the rear view
mirrors prior to driving,
for best field of view.
