Use of improper attachment points will impair system
performance.
Weak tail strap anchor points will not withstand the forces in an
accident and increase the risk of personal injury.
Never attach the tail strap to anchorages intended for the tether
straps of child seats that are found on the filler panels behind the
rear seats of some passenger cars or the luggage area of some
hatchbacks or station wagons. These anchor points are not strong
enough to withstand the forces of an accident and are not
intended for adult belts.
Harness belt systems may only be installed at suitable anchor
points for seat belt systems as originally installed by the vehicle
manufacturer.
For suitable anchor points for make, model and model year of
your vehicle, see Certified Vehicle List (Vehicle Reference List). If
in doubt, ask your dealer to show you where these anchor points
are located.
These figures show the general location and suitability of seat
belt anchor points installed as standard equipment in specific
E46, E39, and MINI model passenger cars.
(The E39/E46 Diagram also applies to the BMW MINI)
▀ Green Squares represent points where SCHROTH provided
male connecting tail straps are to be installed at factory
mounting points along with factory provided harnessbelts.
● Red Circles represent points where the SCHROTH BMW
MINI Rallye 4 belts are designed to plug into BMW MINI
factory provided seatbelt female receptacles.
THIS SCHROTH MINI RALLYE 4
HARNESSBELT IS ONLY DESIGNED FOR
BMW MINI MODELS AS INDICATED ON THE
SEWN IN LABEL ON THE HARNESSBELT
TAILSTRAP. USE IN ANY OTHER BMW
MODEL OR IN ANY OTHER AUTO OF A
DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER COULD
RESULT IN THE FAILURE OF THE HARNESS
SYSTEM AND SERIOUS INJURY.
Never drill or tap or make a new attachment point in the body or
chassis in order to mount a SCHROTH Quick Fit harness at that
location. Such attachment points are inadequate, may be
improperly located and can seriously impair the function and
effectiveness of the system.
Please compare the mounting locations on your car with the
illustration on page 6 and verify the “Model Tag” as pictured
above (sewn into the tail strap) matches the model of your
vehicle.
Original equipment belts with swivel attachments must never
be bent, modified, impeded or restricted in their range of
motion.
2 Anchorage bolts & SCHROTH Rallye Bolt on bracket
Where additional SCHROTH connecting tails are to be
installed (referenced by the Green Boxes on the diagrams on
page 6), the SCHROTH connector will be bolted to the a
factory mounting point along with the factory belt using the
factory provided bolts. You should be able to tighten each bolt
a minimum of nine (9) full 360 degree turns. Tighten all
anchorage bolts to a torque of 30 ft.lbs. (40 Nm)
3 Installation of the outside lap belt connectors
Early Mini Models Late Model Minis
The front outboard lap belt mounting points are located at the
front of the metal rail that holds the factory seatbelt.
Using a T50 Torx head socket, back out the bolt.
Bend the SCHROTH bracket as shown in the picture
above and place the SCHROTH bracket just under
the bolt head. (on later models there will be minimal
bending)
Reinstall the bolt.
Before tightening the bolt, align the SCHROTH
connector so that the webbing is pulling in the same
direction that the belt will pass over your lap when
connected.
Torque the bolt to 30 ft.lbs.
4 Installation of inside lap belt and tail strap
connectors
Simply plug the SCHROTH MINI “male” buckles (both front
and rear) into the factory provided female receptacle next to
the transmission tunnel.
