C A U T I O N !
Please follow these instructions carefully while installing,
and before using the belt! Failure to follow instructions can
not only damage and reduce the performance of the
system, but may also result in the denial of warranty
claims.
Note:
SCHROTH asm harnessbelts are designed to be installed in
addition to the stock restraint systems. Always heed State laws
governing the wearing of seat belts.
W A R N I N G !
When using the SCHROTH harness belt be sure that
the there is no interference between the SCHROTH
tail strap and any cargo or a folding rear seat.
This SCHROTH asm harnessbelt is only suitable for adults in
front outboard seating positions.
SCHROTH asm harnessbelts are not intended or suited for use
by children under 12 years of age, or persons who weigh less
than 88 lbs (40 kg), or those who are less than 4'11" tall (1,50
meters), regardless of age. Such persons will not be adequately
protected by the harness system and may receive more severe
injury than would otherwise be expected.
SCHROTH U.S. model harnessbelts have been tested in
accordance with performance parameters of Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard
209 with the exception of
Paragraph S 4.6 (full scale impact testing as described in
FMVSS
208). FMVSS 209 deals with lap and three point
restraints and does not expressly refer to harness belts.
SCHROTH has nevertheless applied the performance criteria
specified in FMVSS 209 to the system to the extent applicable.
These belts, when properly installed and used according to
applicable instructions can mitigate injury. The ability of any
restraint system to mitigate or prevent injury is directly related to
the type and severity of the accident. SCHROTH asm
harnessbelts have been tested in dynamic sled tests utilizing a
75 kg (165 lbs) Hybrid II anthropometric dummy to simulate
head-on collisions at 50 km/h (31 mph). They also have been
dynamically tested utilizing a 75 kg mass dummy in accordance
with European Safety Standard ECE-R 16.04.
Note:
Always keep this manual in the vehicle so that others can
thoroughly familiarize themselves with the proper use of the
system.
