Before attempting installation, please first answer the
following questions and carefully follow the
instructions which accompany them.
1. Is your vehicle a Subaru WRX/STi built from 2002-2006?
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. Have you maintained your original equipment factory
provided seats and factory harness mounting points or do
you have SCHROTH approved after market seats?
( http://www.schroth.com/seatlist ) YES NO
These belts are only approved for use in the designated
SUBARU STI models in conjunction with the factory
provided seat and factory provided DOT mounting points.
This belt must not be used if either the seat and/or the
factory mounting locations or mounting hardware have
been changed or modified in any way. SCHROTH approved
after market seat may be used in place of the original OE
seat.
3. Do you have a left belt for the LEFT side and/or a right belt
for the RIGHT 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 black asm-cartridge is on the
inboard shoulder strap, see illustration on page 5.
If your answer to any of these 3 questions is [NO], do not
install the SCHROTH harnessbelt system.
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.
• SCHROTH asm ® harnessbelts are designed to be installed
in addition to the stock restraint systems. Always heed
Country/State laws governing the use of seat belts.
Be sure that the tail strap of the harness belt is not inter-
fered with or misdirected by cargo or by folding rear seat.
Folding rear seat must be in the upright position when the
Schroth harnessbelt is in use.
This SCHROTH asm ® harnessbelt is only suitable for adults on
front outboard seating positions.
SCHROTH asm ® harnessbelts are not intended or suited for
use by children under 12 years of age, or persons who weigh
less than 88 lbs (40 kg) or those who are less than 4'11" tall
(1.50 meters), regardless of age. Such persons will not be
adequately protected by the harness system and may receive
more severe injury than would otherwise be expected.
SCHROTH harnessbelts have been tested in accordance with
performance parameters of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 209 with the exception of Paragraph S 4.6 (full scale
impact testing as described in FMVSS 208). FMVSS 209 deals
with lap and three point restraints and does not expressly refer
to harness belts. SCHROTH has nevertheless applied the
performance criteria specified in FMVSS 209 to the system to
the extent applicable.
These belts, when properly installed and used according to
applicable instructions can mitigate injury. The ability of any
restraint system to mitigate or prevent injury is directly related
to the type and severity of the accident. SCHROTH asm
®
harnessbelts have been tested in dynamic sled tests utilizing a
75 kg (165 lbs) Hybrid II anthropometric dummy to simulate
head-on collisions at 50 km/h (31 mph). They also have been
dynamically tested utilizing a 75
kg mass dummy in
accordance with European Safety Standard ECE-R 16.04.
