Saab 2005 Automobile User Manual


 
31Safety
Front passenger seat
The airbags are interconnected and have a
common warning light. The passenger
airbag module is housed in the fascia above
the glove compartment and is marked ”SRS
AIRBAG”. (SRS = Supplementary Restraint
System.)
Both airbags will be inflated in the event of a
moderate to severe frontal, or near-frontal
crash, even if the passenger seat is unoccu-
pied.
WARNING
Never secure a rear-facing child seat in
the right front seat of a car equipped with
a passenger airbag. Inflation of the airbag
in the event of a crash could seriously
injure or kill a child.
WARNING
DEATH or SERIOUS
INJURY can occur.
Children 12 and under or
shorter than 55 inches
(140 cm) can be killed by
the airbag.
The BACK SEAT is the SAFEST place
for children.
NEVER put a rear-facing child seat in
the front.
Sit as far back as possible from the air-
bag.
ALWAYS use SAFETY BELTS and
CHILD RESTRAINTS.
Never allow a child to stand in front of
the seat or to sit on the lap of a
front-seat passenger. Serious injury or
death could result if the airbag is infla-
ted in a crash.
The glove compartment must be
closed while travelling. An open glove
compartment door could cause leg
injuries in the event of a crash.
Never place anything on the dash or in
front of the seat as, in addition to being
a hazard to passengers, this could
interfere with the function of the airbag
in the event of a crash. The same app-
lies to the mounting of accessories on
the dash.
Keep feet on the floor – never put feet
up on the fascia, on the seat or out of
the window.
Do not carry anything in your lap.
