In-car safety
Safety Belts
Safety belts are the single most effective safety
devices in your vehicle. DO NOT let anybody,
including rear seat passengers, ride in the
vehicle without buckling their safety belts, or
child safety seats.
To wear the safety belt properly (for adults only):
1 Close and lock the door.
2 Adjust the seat so you can sit up straight.
3 Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt
across you.
4 Push the latch plate into the buckle until it
clicks.
5 Check that the belt fits snugly. The lap part
of the belt should be worn low and snug on
the hips, just touching the thighs. The shoul-
der belt should go over the shoulder and
across the chest. To make the lap part tight,
pull up on the shoulder belt.
Note: The following is an overview of your
vehicle safety features and is not intended to
replace the specific instructions found in
your vehicle Owner Manual. Please read
your Owner Manual for complete details
about your vehicle safety features.
FASTEN BELTS
Safety belts are the single most effective safety
devices in your car. DO NOT let anyone, includ-
ing rear seat passengers, ride in the car without
being buckled up.
Grasp the belt, pull it out and allow the slack to
be taken up by the reel. The belt must be well in
on the shoulder.

Do not use mobile phone while driving. If you
are an OnStar subscriber, you may press the
blue button to connect you with an OnStar Advi-
sor (if equipped). The red button is an emer-
gency button.
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.
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.
Correct seat position-
ing is vital for your
safety. Sit in an upright
position and not too
close to the instrument
panel.
ALWAYS move the driver’s seat as far rear-
wards as practically possible for maximum
safety and control. The airbag needs space to
inflate.
When the airbag is activated, all of the doors are
unlocked while the interior/exterior lighting and
the hazard warning lights are illuminated at the
same time
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.
Position the rear view
mirrors prior to driving,
for best field of view.
4
If trapped within the trunk, you may pull the
trunk release handle to open the trunk lid.
ALWAYS secure heavy, bulky loads to the lash-
ing eyes in the luggage compartment. Place the
load as low and as far forward as possible
against the rear seat backrest. The floor and
side nets should only be used to secure light
objects.
SportCombi: NEVER stack loads above the
edge of the back rest unless a cargo net or
cargo grille is being used.
Children from 0-3 years (0-18 kg/0-40 lbs) must
ALWAYS ride in an appropriate child seat.
Make sure that the child seat is securely
mounted, according to the manufactures
instructions. Saab recommends rearward
facing child restraints.
National and/or regional laws regarding use of
child restraints and their attachments may
apply. Always follow the child restraint manu-
facturer’s instructions.

If you have to put a load on a seat, secure it prop-
erly with the safety belt. NEVER use the parcel
shelf for storage and NEVER place unsecured
luggage on the rear seat.

* If AON 90 is used some decrease in engine
power can occur.

lower than AON 87. However, engine performance will fall
slightly and heavy loading and laboring should be avoided. For
optimum performance, use the recommended grade of fuel.
