2006 Saab 9-5 Owner's Manual - Page 12

12 Safety Three-point inertia-reel safety belts are provided for all seats. The results of studies show that it is equally important to wear safety belts in the rear seat as in the front seats. Bear in mind that in certain states/provinces it is a legal requirement for all occupants of the car to wear a safety belt. Safety belts WARNING • Buckle up and adjust your safety belt before driving off so that you can pay full attention to the traffic. • Safety belts must be worn at all times by all car occupants. • Child safety, see page 22. • Check that the locking tongue is properly locked in the belt lock. • In the event of a crash, the rear-seat passengers not wearing a seatbelt will be thrown forward against the front-seat backrests. The stresses imposed on the front seat passengers and belts are multiplied and can result in needless injury or even death for all car occupants. FASTEN BELTS Safety belt reminder 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. IB3838
