Before installation of SCHROTH harnessbelt, please
answer a few very important questions to make sure the
SCHROTH harnessbelt system can be properly installed
and effectively used in your car..
1. Is your vehicle listed in the Certified Vehicle List (Vehicle
Reference List)?
Compare your car’s specifications to the Make, Type No. and
Model Year of vehicle in the Certified Vehicle List (Vehicle
Reference List).
YES NO
Proper harness belt geometry requires that seat belt
anchor points be located within narrowly defined areas.
Therefore SCHROTH harnessbelts may only be installed
in SCHROTH approved vehicles for which proper
anchorage location and belt geometry has been
determined to exist.
2. Are there openings between the backrest and the headrest
of the seat? (See illustration below.)
YES NO
Harness belt system will not function properly and must
not be installed in vehicles equipped with seats having no
headrest or backrests with integrated headrest. (No
openings exist between the backrest and the headrest.)
Never create a new opening in the seats installed in your car.
3. If you intend to install the tail straps of the SCHROTH
harnessbelt system at the rear seat lap belt anchor point
a. have you made sure that the Certified Vehicle List
(Vehicle Reference List) allows or requires you to do so?
YES NO
b. is your vehicle equipped with a SCHROTH approved
seat? (see Certified Vehicle List (Vehicle Reference List) )
YES NO
Installation to anchor points located lower than the front
seat backrest with an unapproved seat can result in
serious personal injury or death. Never install the
SCHROTH harnessbelt at these lower anchor points
unless this installation is allowed for your vehicle’s make,
model and model year and it is used with an approved
seat. [See Certified Vehicle List (Vehicle Reference List)
and heed all indexes.]
4. Do you have a left belt for the driver’s side and/or a right
belt for the passenger’s side? (See illustrations on page 5.)
YES NO
Left and right belts are not interchangeable! Installation of
harness belts on wrong side of vehicle can cause severe
head injury or death during rebound phase of frontal
collision! Make sure the black asm-cartridge is on
inboard strap - see illustrations on page 5.
5. For certain vehicles special mounting accessories are
required. [See Certified Vehicle List (Vehicle Reference
List).]
If required for your vehicle: do you now have them
available for installation?
YES NO
If you answer any question with [NO], do not install the
SCHROTH harnessbelt system.
Do not install the SCHROTH system in your car unless it is
possible to make SCHROTH approved modifications, which
allow you to answer all questions with [YES].
If you have answered ALL questions with [YES], you may
install the SCHROTH harnessbelt system in your car.
Please remember that installation procedures will require you
to perform a variety of operations requiring familiarity with tools
and mechanical procedures. If you have any doubt about your
ability to properly install the SCHROTH asm harnessbelt
system, take this manual and all parts supplied to a competent
mechanic for installation.
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.
