– CONTINUED –
In the event that the SRS airbag is de-
ployed, replacement of the system
should be performed only by an autho-
rized Saab dealer. When the compo-
nents of the SRS airbag system are re-
placed, use only genuine Saab parts.
To ensure their long-term reliability, the
SRS airbags must be inspected by a Saab
dealer ten years after the date of manu-
facture, which is shown on the certification
plate attached to the driver’s door jamb.
NOTE
In the following cases, contact your
Saab dealer as soon as possible.
— The front part of the vehicle was in-
volved in an accident in which only the
driver’s SRS frontal airbag or both driv-
er’s and front passenger’s SRS frontal
airbags did not deploy.
— The pad section of the steering
wheel or front passenger’s frontal air-
bag cover is scratched, cracked, or
otherwise damaged.
In addition, if your vehicle is equipped
with SRS side airbags, contact your
Saab dealer as soon as possible in the
following cases.
— Either center pillar or a nearby area
of the vehicle was involved in an acci-
dent in which the SRS side airbag did
not deploy.
— The fabric or leather of either front
seatback is cut, frayed, or otherwise
damaged.
