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 in an
accident.
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 safety
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
passenger cars.
Not suitable for attachment of an asm-autocontrol.
Must be used for the attachment of the lap belt portion of
the harness belt.
Suitable for retractor anchorage of asm-autocontrol.
Retractor anchorage to anchor points “D” or “E” only if
allowed for your vehicle’s make, model and model year
and it is used with an approved seat.
[See Certified Vehicle List (Vehicle Reference List) and
heed all indexes.]

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 page 6 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.
