IB994 USA IB336 Safety 11 Safety Safety belts......................... Head restraint..................... Child safety......................... Airbag (Supplemental Restraint System "SRS"). 12 18 19 28 IB1740 12 Safety Research has established that it is dangerous for rear seat passengers not to wear their safety belts. Safety belts WARNING Safety belts must be worn at all times by all car occupants. Child safety, see page 19. Check that the locking tongue is properly locked in the belt lock. Three-point inertia-reel safety belts are provided for all seats. WARNING In the event of a crash, the rear-seat passengers can be thrown forward against the front-seat backrests, imposing much higher stresses on the front-seat passengers and belts and resulting in needless injury to everyone in the car. FASTEN BELTS Safety-belt reminder 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. When the ignition is switched on, the "fasten belts" reminder will light up until the driver fastens the safety belt. In addition an audible signal sounds for 6 seconds, or until the driver fastens his belt. IB409 Safety Safety belt pretensioners The belts of the front seats are fitted with automatic pretensioners, which are activated in the event of a severe frontal or rear-end crash, provided that the safety belts are being worn. They serve to reduce the forward movement of the body by tensioning the belt. The safety belt pretensioners are not activated by vehicle rollover. The belt pretensioners do not activate in less severe frontal or rear-end crashes. 13 WARNING Proper positioning of the safety belt is extremely important. An out of position safety belt can result in the wearer sliding underneath the belt in a crash (submarining) and injury can result from the lap portion cutting into the abdomen. · Check to ensure that the belt is not twisted or rubbing against any sharp edges. · There should not be any slack in the belt. Pull the belt tight ­ particularly important when thick outer clothing is worn. · Refrain from tilting the backrest more than necessary, as the safety belt provides better protection when the seat is in the more upright position. · Only one person per safety belt! IB410 WARNING If the car is involved in a crash, the safety belts, belt pretensioners and other components must be inspected by an authorized Saab dealer and replaced as necessary. Never make any alterations or repairs to the safety belt yourself. Visit an authorized Saab dealer for any necessary repairs. Correctly positioned safety belt Correct position for safety belt · The lap portion of the belt should be pulled as tightly as comfortable and as low as possible across the hips, so that it is just touching the top of the thighs. The shoulder belt should be well in on the shoulder but not touching the neck. WARNING If two people share a belt, they risk injury by being crushed together in the event of a crash. · For most of the time a safety belt is worn, the retractor will allow the wearer freedom of movement. The retractor locks up automatically if the belt is jerked or withdrawn sharply, the car tilts, the brakes are applied hard or a crash occurs. 14 Safety · Children who have grown out of a child seat should be restrained by the car's standard three-point belts. Make sure that the shoulder belt is not in contact with the neck or throat. If it is, a booster seat/cushion may be necessary. WARNING Never fasten the safety belt with the shoulder belt behind the body or pull the belt off the shoulder and under the arm. To fasten the belt Press the red button to release the belt Front safety belts Fasten the belt by pulling the belt and inserting the tongue in the buckle. Check that it is securely fastened. Grasp the shoulder belt close to the buckle and pull the belt towards the shoulder to tighten the lap belt part. Then grip the belt at the shoulder, pull it out and, without letting go, allow the slack to be taken up by the reel. Make sure that the belt is well in on the shoulder. Because the lower belt-anchorage points are on the seat, the belt buckle follows the movement of the seat during seat adjustment. To release the belt, press the red button on the belt buckle, as illustrated. See page 232 for the checking of belt function, cleaning, etc. IB412 IB411 Safety Belt height adjustment The front safety belts and the outside belts in the rear (9-5 Sedan) are equipped with automatic height adjustment. After fastening the belt, grasp it at chest height, pull it out and, without letting go, allow the slack to be taken up by the reel. Make sure that the belt is well in on the shoulder. IB414 15 Safety belt use during pregnancy Pregnant women must always wear a safety belt to protect both themselves and the unborn child. The lap belt should be placed low, across the hips and over the upper thighs. 16 Safety IB415 IB??? Securing an item on the rear seat Safety belt, rear seat Safety belt, rear seat Three-point safety belts are provided for all three rear seat passengers. Fasten the belt by pulling out the strap carefully and inserting the tongue in the lock. Check that it is securely fastened. Then grip the diagonal part of the strap near the lock and pull the belt upwards towards the shoulder to tighten the lap strap. The lap strap should lie low over the hips. The diagonal part should lie as far in on the shoulder as possible. To release the belt, press the red button on the belt lock. See page 232 for the checking of belt function, cleaning, etc. WARNING · Make sure that the belt does not become trapped when the backrest is folded down or raised (see page 132). · If a cargo has to be placed on a seat, it must be properly secured with the safety belt. This reduces the risk of the cargo being thrown about during hard braking or a possible crash, which could cause personal injury. · Check that the belt is not twisted or lying against sharp edges. IB416 Safety WARNING Safety belts are designed to bear upon the bony structure of the body, and should be worn low across the front of the pelvis or the pelvis, chest and shoulders, as applicable; wearing the lap portion of the belt across the abdominal area must be avoided. Safety belts should be adjusted as firmly as possible, consistent with comfort, to provide the protection for which they have been designed. A loose belt will greatly reduce the protection afforded to the wearer. Care should be taken to avoid contamination of the webbing with polishes, oils and chemicals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning may safely be carried out using mild soap and water. The belt should be replaced if webbing becomes frayed, contaminated or damaged. It is essential to replace the entire assembly after it has been worn in a severe impact even if damage to the assembly is not obvious. Belts should not be worn with straps twisted. Each belt assembly must only be used by one occupant; it is dangerous to put a belt around a child being carried on the occupant´s lap. No modifications or additions should be made by the user which will either prevent the safety belt adjusting device from operating to remove slack, or prevent the safety belt assembly from being adjusted to remove slack. 17 18 Safety Head restraint WARNING · Adjust the head restraint so that the head is well supported and the center of the head restraint is at ear height, thus reducing the likelihood of neck injury in a crash. · The rear head restraint should not be folded down when the seat is occupied. The front seats in the Saab 9-5 are equipped with Saab Active Head Restraints (SAHRs). These reduce the risk of whiplash injury if the car is hit from behind. In the event of a rear-end crash, the body is forced back against the backrest. This, in turn, causes the mechanism to press the head restraint forward and upwards, thus limiting the backward movement of the head. The SAHR is a mechanical system, actuated by body weight. The mechanism is built into the top of the backrest, where it is connected to the head restraint. Therefore, the SAHR does not need to be replaced after a minor rear-end crash. IB400 IB460 Rear-seat head restraints 9-5 Sedan: The rear head restraints have three adjustment positions for passenger comfort. They can also be folded down to increase the driver's rearward vision when the seat is unoccupied. 9-5 Wagon: The height of the rear head restraints can be adjusted by depressing the catch on the left-hand collar in the same way as the front head restraints. The head restraint can be raised or lowered and is adjustable in various positions. · Raising: grasp the head restraint on both sides and pull it straight up. · Lowering: press the catch on the left-hand side of the attaching point and press down the head restraint. Safety 19 Child safety WARNING · NEVER put a rear-facing child seat in the front. · Children must always be suitably restrained in the car. All child restraints and booster seats are designed to be secured in vehicle seats by the lap belt of a lap-shoulder belt or LATCH. If the child restraint is not properly secured, a child can be injured in a crash. · Children 12 and under can be killed by the airbag. · According to crash statistics, the BACK SEAT is SAFER for properly restrained children than the front seat. · Sit as far back as possible from the air bag. Car safety tips WARNING · Never leave your children unattended in a car, even for a short time. ­ Children can suffer heat stroke - perhaps die - in a matter of minutes. ­ Children can put the car into gear and hurt themselves or others. · At gas stations, take the keys from the car while filling the tank. · Never allow children to climb on top of or under motor vehicles. · Always look for children before backing your motor vehicle out of a garage or driveway. · To avoid carbon monoxide poisoning, never let a car idle in the garage. · Supervise young children around buckets of water while washing your car. Small children can drown in seconds in less than an inch of water. Protect your children from getting trapped in the trunk of a car WARNING · Teach your kids not to play in or around cars. · Watch your children when loading or unloading the car so they don´t get locked in by mistake. · Always lock the doors and trunk of your car, and keep the keys out of children´s sight and reach. · Keep the rear fold-down seats closed to help prevent kids from getting into the trunk from inside the car. For Trunk Release Handle info see page 42 and 141. 20 Safety The same attention must be given to child safety in the car as is given to adults. Saab recommends rearward facing child restraints. Children travel most safely when properly restrained, but restraints must be suitable for the size of the child. Always follow the child seat/booster cushion manufacturer´s instructions when installing these devices in your vehicle. Make sure you are acquainted with the legal requirements for seating children in the car. Make sure that it is possible to fit a child restraint in accordance with the manufacturer's child seat instructions. When fitting child seats in cars you must always read the instructions supplied by the manufacturer. LATCH LATCH (Lower Anchorages & Top tethers for CHildren) consists of top tether and lower anchorage ("ISOFIX") for child restraints in two outboard the rear seats. ISOFIX are lower attachments located where the seat and back cushions come together. Top tether are upper attachments located between belt beam and parcel shelf, see page 23 and 24. Saab recommends rearward facing child restraints for children 3 and under. IB1832
