Front Seat: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Saab 9-3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: All Saab 9-3 models are equipped with an Airbag System (SRS) in which the side airbag is included as a standard component. The side airbag is fitted under the backrest upholstery on each seat. When working on the SRS, the following points must be observed:
  • Work on the SRS should be carried out only at an authorized workshop.
  • All work must be carried out with the utmost care and as described in the relevant instructions. There is always a danger of injury if the work is not done in the prescribed manner.
  • Always make sure that the ignition switch is in the OFF position when changing any components.
  • Components forming part of the system must not be dismantled or repaired. Handle them with care and keep them in a dry place at room temperature.
  • The airbags must be stored at room temperature. At temperatures above 275°F (135°C) there is a risk that the airbag might be triggered.
  • Airbags must be stored in a special area, away from storage areas for petroleum products or other flammable materials.
  • Airbags must be stored with the metal casing facing downwards to avoid injury in the event of accidental triggering.
  • Wear goggles and protective gloves when removing an airbag that has been detonated. Put the airbag envelope in a tight-sealing plastic bag. Wash your hands in warm water and a mild soap solution after handling a triggered airbag.
  • DO NOT use grease, detergent or the like on the seat-belt tensioner.
  • The belt tensioner must never be exposed to temperatures above 212°F (100°C).
  • Airbags and seat-belt tensioners are classed as pyrotechnic devices and should be stored and handled in accordance with the current laws and regulations governing such products in each individual country.
  • Airbags and seat-belt tensioners must be fitted immediately after they have been purchased from the supplier. If work is interrupted, the airbag or seat-belt tensioner must be returned to the supplier and put away safely. Under no circumstances should an airbag or seat-belt tensioner be left unattended.
  • Seat-belt tensioners and airbags that have fallen onto hard surfaces must be replaced. DO NOT install components that have been dropped.
