Since the policy at Saab is one of continual improvement, we retain the right to incorporate modifications and to alter specifications during production without prior notice. If you have any questions concerning your car, its equipment, the warranty conditions or the like, your Saab dealer will be pleased to help. Best wishes, Saab Automobile AB Saab Automobile AB does not accept liability for any damage caused by the fitting of spare parts, exchange parts or accessories that are not approved by Saab Automobile AB. [. . . ] There is always a danger of loose objects flying about and causing injury if the car should brake suddenly or be involved in a crash. · Make sure that the backrests are locked when they are folded back upright. · Check that the safety belt lock is not trapped under the seat cushions when these are raised back up. · If the car is equipped with a pull-out cargo net on the rear of the backrest, take extra care when folding the rear seat so that no one is injured by the net's storage cassette on the right-hand side. 143 Folding the narrow section of the backrest The folding is facilitated if the front seat is not too far back. 3 Raise the rear seat cushion by pulling the loop located at the rear of the cushion. Continue pulling the loop until the entire rear seat cushion is raised. 4 Fold the narrow section (right) of the backrest forward by raising the opening handle. 5 Adjust the front seat for optimal passenger comfort. NOTICE The safety belts for the outer seating positions should be put in their respective belt clips near the back rest to prevent them being pinched when the rear seat is raised to the upright position, see illustration page 142. IB1213 144 Interior equipment and trunk · Never use the elastic floor net and elastic side net when the rear seat is folded down. These nets are only intended to keep light objects tidy, not for the anchoring of loads. · If possible, avoid having the rear seat folded down when driving with a heavy load because the anchoring possibilities are restricted when the rear seat is in this position. That the rear seat is in the upright position is a basic requirement for protection against cargo displacement in the event of a crash. · Cargo can intrude into the passenger compartment during a sudden stop or front crash if the outer safety belts are not fastened. This shows that the backrests are locked. Load anchoring WARNING · Put heavy loads as low down and as far forward as possible in the luggage compartment, i. e. · Never stack cargo so high that any part of the cargo lies above the edge of the backrest, if a cargo guard (accessory) is not being used. · Always tie down the cargo so that it cannot be thrown forward during heavy braking or in the event of a crash. · Unsecured and heavy cargo can increase the risk of injury during hard braking, sudden avoidance maneuvers and in the event of a crash. · For the best load anchoring, use the special cargo bolts and load straps (accessory). · Provide protection on sharp edges to prevent damage to the load straps. WARNING · Match the speed and driving style according to how the car is loaded. The driving characteristics of the car can be affected because the center of gravity is altered when there is a cargo in the luggage compartment. · Adjust the car's load (passengers and luggage) so that the gross vehicle weight or the axle weight is not exceeded, see page 258. Driving with the trunk lid/tailgate open, see page 188. Interior equipment and trunk 145 IB1214 IB1216 Cargo bolts mounted on the longitudinal rails On the floor of the luggage compartment there are two longitudinal aluminium rails (CargoTracksTM) where special cargo bolts can be mounted. The cargo bolts are mounted by lifting their locks and inserting them into the rail.
