Use of improper attachment points will impair system

performance.

Weak tail strap anchor points will not withstand the forces in an

accident and increase the risk of personal injury.

Never attach the tail strap to anchorages intended for the tether

straps of child seats that are found on the filler panels behind the

rear seats of some passenger cars or the luggage area of some

hatchbacks or station wagons. These anchor points are not strong

enough to withstand the forces of an accident and are not

intended for adult belts.

Harness belt systems may only be installed at suitable anchor

points for seat belt systems as originally installed by the vehicle

manufacturer.

For suitable anchor points for make, model and model year of

your vehicle, see Certified Vehicle List (Vehicle Reference List). If

in doubt, ask your dealer to show you where these anchor points

are located.

These figures show the general location and suitability of seat
belt anchor points installed as standard equipment in specific
VW-A-S-S model passenger cars.

HARNESSBELT IS ONLY DESIGNED FOR

VW-A-S-S MODELS AS INDICATED ON THE

SEWN IN LABEL ON THE HARNESSBELT

TAILSTRAP. USE IN ANY OTHER MODEL OR

IN ANY OTHER AUTO OF A DIFFERENT

MANUFACTURER COULD RESULT IN THE

FAILURE OF THE HARNESS SYSTEM AND

SERIOUS INJURY.

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 mounting locations on your car with the
illustration on page 6 and verify the “Model Tag” as pictured
above (sewn into the tail strap) matches the model of your
vehicle.

Original equipment belts with swivel attachments must never
be bent, modified, impeded or restricted in their range of
motion.

Where additional SCHROTH connecting tails are to be
installed (referenced by the Green squares on the diagrams on
page 6), the SCHROTH connector will be bolted to the a
factory mounting point along with the factory belt using the
factory provided bolts. You should be able to tighten each bolt
a minimum of nine (9) full 360 degree turns. Tighten all
anchorage bolts to a torque of 30 ft.lbs. (40 Nm)
