Autoliv Inc. to Exhibit at NAIC National Congress & Expo

15 September 1999

Autoliv Inc. to Exhibit at NAIC National Congress & Expo
    NAIC NATIONAL CONGRESS & EXPO, NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 15 --
Autoliv Inc., a worldwide leader in automotive safety, is pleased to announce
its participation in the National Association of Investors Corp. 1999 National
Congress and Expo (held in Nashville, Tennessee, September 15-18).  As a
corporate member of NAIC, Autoliv also participates in many regional and local
investor fairs throughout the country.
    Autoliv has been solving occupant safety problems -- and saving lives --
for more than three decades.  The world's first two-point static seat belt had
our name on it.  So did the world's first three-point static belt, first
pyrotechnic pretensioners, and first side-impact airbag system.  As consumer
demand and regulatory action dictate greater degrees of occupant protection,
Autoliv will be there.  A commitment to research and development is the basis
for Autoliv's technical achievements and our responses to consumer safety
needs.  New technologies include our gentle airbags, dual-stage inflators,
and smart systems with the ability to sense and respond to occupant size and
positioning as well as the severity of an accident.  Our side-impact airbags,
inflatable knee bolsters and inflatable curtains for side-impact and
roll-over protection are in place now, ready to help meet the most important
challenge of all:  protection of human life.
    Historically, much of Autoliv's work has been focused on the 0.03 seconds
following accident impact.  Today, our agenda includes even earlier
intervention.  With our emerging radar-based crash-avoidance and adaptive
cruise control technologies, Autoliv is also committed to helping prevent
motor vehicle accidents.  Our advanced products and systems reflect our
vision:  To create progressively higher levels of automotive safety worldwide.
