4 Accident
A safety belt which was in use during an accident has
been weakened and is unfit for further use and must be
replaced!
• One indication that the belt was exposed to excess strain
and therefore requires replacement is when the stitches of
the asm-system are ripped open and are protruding from
underneath the asm-plastic cover.
A restitched asm seam is dangerous.
The asm energy conversion device may not be restitched
under any circumstances.
After an accident, in addition to replacing seat belt which were
in use, also be sure to ask your car dealer for carefully check
all seatbelt attachment points for deformation or cracks.
Always make sure that the guidelines of the car manufacturer
are followed if a repair is necessary.
5 Cleaning
To clean the belt, use soap and warm water. Do not use any
solvents! Do not dry the belt in the sun or near a radiator.
Improper cleaning or drying of the harness belts can
weaken them, reduce their effectiveness and can result in
serious personal injury or death.

INSTALLATION
1 General
Instructions
Always leave original equipment seat belts in place and
available for use.
We strongly recommend that you leave the standard 3-point
restraint system originally supplied for the front seating
positions of your vehicle as well as those systems originally
installed for the rear seating positions in place when you install
the SCHROTH asm harnessbelt.
Leaving original equipment systems in place and fully
functional will enable you to use the vehicle’s standard seat
belts when it is necessary to transport passengers in any of the
rear seats or when either harness belt is not suited for use by
the driver or front seat passenger. Removal of equipment
restraint systems may violate applicable State or Federal law.
To use the standard 3-point restraint system, release the
SCHROTH asm-autocontrol tail straps and store both the front
and rear sections out of the way
Separate SCHROTH asm harnessbelts are supplied for the
left and right sides.
Black asm cartridge must be on the inboard shoulder
strap when system is installed (see illustration). Never
install belt on wrong side of vehicle. System will not
function properly in an accident and serious injury or
death may occur.
