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 U.S. model 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.
• Always keep this manual in the vehicle so that others can
thoroughly familiarize themselves with the proper use of
the system.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1 General Instructions
Always leave original equipment seat belts in place and
available for use.
We strongly recommend that you leave in place all BMW
factory provided 3-point restraint systems originally supplied for
the front and rear seating positions of your vehicle when you
install the SCHROTH asm harnessbelt. Removal of original
equipment restraint systems may also violate applicable State
or Federal law.
To carry rear seat passengers, you must use your standard 3-
point factory provided front seat belts. To use the factory
installed seat belts after a SCHROTH BMW Rallye 4 belt has
been installed you must first release (un-clip) all four points of
the SCHROTH belt and remove it.
Leaving original equipment restraint systems in place and fully
functional will enable you to choose either the SCHROTH
Rallye 4 OR 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.
