Seats, restraints 59
The side-impact protection will only
be activated in the event of a side-on
crash and not in the event of a frontal
collision or the car rolling over.
Damage or wear to the seat cover, or
the seat seam, in the area of the side
airbag must be repaired immediately.
We recommend that you contact
a Saab dealer.
Curtain Airbag System
The curtain airbag system consists of
an airbag in the roof frame on each
side. This can be identified by the la‐
bel AIRBAG on the roof pillars.
The curtain airbag system is triggered
in the event of a side, front or rollover
impact of a certain severity. The igni‐
tion needs to be switched on.
The inflated airbags cushion the im‐
pact, thereby reducing the risk of in‐
jury to the head in the event of a side,
front or rollover impact.
9 Warning
Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions.
The hooks on the handles in the
roof frame are only suitable for
hanging up light articles of cloth‐
ing, without coat hangers. Do not
keep any heavy or sharp objects in
these clothes.
Do not sit with your head rested
against the side window. The in‐
flatable curtain is designed to in‐
flate between the window and the
head. Resting your head against
the window could prevent the in‐
flatable curtain from providing the
intended protection.
Do not attach anything to the car's
headlining, roof pillars or side pan‐
els as this could prevent the roof-
rail airbag from providing the in‐
tended protection.
