Energy absorber for improved head impact protection: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2001 Saab 9-3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When replacing interior equipment, special notice must be given to the absorbents used to take up the forces from possible impact with the passenger's/driver's head. These absorbents are mounted between the trim and the body and are designed depending on their location. It is essential that the absorbent and the trim are both intact and correctly fitted in the car so that the correct level of protection is attained.
