• As a constant reminder, the enclosed transparent sticker
must be attached to the rear side window in a prominent
place. The sticker cannot be removed without damage to
chromate tinted glass. On such vehicles, you may affix the
transparent sticker at a different, prominent location so that
it will serve as a constant reminder.

Stowing the belts when not in use
If you use the stock 3-point belt instead of the SCHROTH
harnessbelt, be sure to properly stow the harness belt.
Buckle the lap belt in the space between the backrest and the
seat. This prevents the belt from being pinched by the door,
the seat tracks or backrest adjustment mechanism and also
helps prevent the belt from being soiled. Open the separation
buckle on the tail strap at harness belt system and stow the
shoulder straps as well in the space between the backrest and
the seat.
CARE and MAINTENANCE
1 Inspection
Check the safety belt once a month for any damage. Cuts,
tears and other damage to the belt will greatly reduce its
effectiveness. Replace the belt or damaged parts immediately
with original Spare Parts (see page 37, Spare Parts). Never
use a damaged harness belt, use the standard 3-point belts
which remain available for use.
Make sure the buckles are free of any obstruction and lock
securely.
Modified belts or such belts that have been resewn are not
strong enough and are dangerous in an accident.
Never modify, disassemble or repair the belts yourself.
For parts that can be replaced, use only original SCHROTH
Spare Parts.
Only original SCHROTH Accessories may be used with the
harness belt system.
Use of non-authorized parts and Accessories can reduce
the effectiveness of the harness belt system.
• Any changes made to the belt will automatically void the
warranty.

Never drill or tap or make a new attachment point in
the body or chassis in order to mount a SCHROTH
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 possible mounting locations on your car
with the illustrations on pages 9/11 and pick the one that you
find most suitable.
Original equipment belts with swivel attachments must never
be bent, modified, impeded or restricted in their range of
motion.
2 Anchorage
bolts
Bolts used to attach original equipment seatbelts may be used
to attach the SCHROTH asm harnessbelt if they are long
enough. You must be able to tighten each bolt a minimum of
nine (9) full 360 degree turns. If the bolt is too short, choose
one of the SCHROTH supplied bolts. (Read and observe the
following Warning!)
A bolt which sticks out too far might damage the chassis,
the fuel tank, fuel lines, brake lines or other important
vehicle components.
Make sure enough space is available behind the thread
before screwing in the 1½ inch (38 mm) long bolt.
Tightening torque for all bolts: 30 ft.lbs. (40 Nm)
3 Installation of the lap belt
When mounting the lap belt in a car
equipped with a racing seat and integrated
(non adjustable) headrests thread the belt
through the openings as illustrated.
