Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

and Savings Plan Administrative Committee
Autoliv ASP, Inc. Employee Savings and Investment Plan
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Autoliv
ASP, Inc. Employee Savings and Investment Plan as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related
statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2006.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We
were not engaged to perform an audit of the Plans internal control over financial reporting. Our
audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plans internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the
changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2006, in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken
as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December
31, 2006, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the
financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labors Rules
and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plans management. The supplemental
schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial
statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
financial statements taken as a whole.

Autoliv ASP, Inc.
Employee Savings and Investment Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2006
1. Description of Plan
The following description of the Autoliv ASP, Inc. Employee Savings and Investment Plan (the Plan)
provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more
complete description of the Plans provisions.
General
The Plan is a defined contribution plan established to provide eligible employees with an incentive
to make systematic savings for retirement from current income through payroll deductions and to
afford them an opportunity to acquire an equity interest in Autoliv, Inc. The Plan is subject to
the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code), section 401(a) and to the provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA).
Substantially all domestic employees of Autoliv ASP, Inc. (the Company) are eligible to participate
in the Plan. Employees become eligible participants upon date of hire, without satisfying any age
or service requirements.
Contributions
Participation in the Plan is voluntary. Participants make contributions to the Plan for any
whole percentage up to a maximum of 50% of base pay, not to exceed the Internal Revenue Service
limit. Participants can elect to treat their contributions on a before and/or after-tax basis.
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company contributed an amount equal to 50% of the first 6% of
participants compensation contributed to the Plan. Effective January 1, 2006, the Plan was amended
to increase the level of Company matching contributions for all eligible employees who make
contributions to the Plan. The Company will contribute an amount equal to 100% of the first 3% of
the participants compensation contributed to the Plan and 50% of the 4th and
5th percent of participants compensation contributed to the Plan.
The Company has frozen participation in the Autoliv ASP, Inc. Pension Plan to exclude all
employees hired after December 31, 2003; consequently the Company amended the Plan effective
January 1, 2004 to provide an additional contribution on behalf of the participants in the Plan.
Prior to January 1, 2006, each participant who was excluded from participation in the Autoliv ASP,
Inc. Pension Plan received an additional employer contribution to the Plan equal to two percent of
such participants base pay for the plan year. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company will no
longer make these contributions.

Autoliv ASP, Inc.
Employee Savings and Investment Plan
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
1. Description of Plan (continued)
The changes to the Plan that became effective January 1, 2006, were designed to qualify as a safe
harbor formula permitted by the Code section 401(K) (12), for purposes of satisfying the Code
section 401(K) nondiscrimination tests.
Contributions are allocated among any of sixteen investment fund options in accordance with
participants elections. Participants may transfer amounts from one investment fund to another.
Unless the Plan is otherwise notified, all employees except non-U.S. citizens who have elected not
to participate, are automatically enrolled into the Fixed Return Fund at a contribution rate of
three percent of base pay. Effective January 1, 2007, the initial automatic deferral rate will be
5% and it will increase annually in 1% increments to a maximum of 10%, absent an alternate election
made by the participant.
Participant Accounts
Each participants account is credited with the participants contributions and allocations of (a)
the Companys contributions, and (b) Plan earnings, and is charged with an allocation of certain
administrative expenses not covered by the Company. Allocations are based on participant earnings
or account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that
can be provided from the participants vested account.
Vesting
Participants are 100% vested in their contributions and participant earnings, if any, thereon.
Company contributions and earnings thereon become vested to the participant as follows:

Employee Savings and Investment Plan
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
1. Description of Plan (continued)
Notwithstanding the preceding schedule, Company contributions will become 100% vested upon death,
total disability from performing normal duties or termination of employment when eligible to retire
under the provisions of a qualified Company pension plan.
As part of the amendment to the Plan made in order to qualify as a safe harbor under Code section
401(K) (12), for purposes of satisfying the Code section 401(K) nondiscrimination tests, effective
January 1, 2006, all matching contributions after this date will be 100% vested and nonforfeitable
at all times. Amounts vested may not be withdrawn until termination of employment with the
Company, death, disability, age 59 1/2 or the termination of the Plan.
That portion of the participants Company contribution accounts which is not vested at the time of
termination of employment is forfeited. Amounts forfeited are applied to reduce subsequent Company
contributions under the Plan. Forfeitures can be reinstated if the employee is re-employed before
having five consecutive one-year breaks in service, on the condition that a distribution of vested
Company contributions has not been received, or if received, was repaid prior to the fifth
anniversary of the rehire date.
Participant Loans
Active participants may obtain loans from the Plan. The maximum loan amount is subject to certain
Internal Revenue Service and Plan restrictions, and each loan is secured by the participants
account balance. Loan terms range from one to five years or up to ten years for the purchase of a
primary residence. The interest rate on loans is the trustees prime rate, plus 1%. Loan interest
rates are reviewed monthly and adjusted prospectively. Principal and interest is paid through
payroll deductions.
Payment of Benefits
On termination of service, a participant may receive a lump-sum amount equal to the vested value of
his or her account, or upon death, disability or retirement, elect to receive annual installments
over a ten-year period.

Autoliv ASP, Inc.
Employee Savings and Investment Plan
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
1. Description of Plan (continued)
Administrative Expenses
With the exception of fees paid to an insurance company for certain investment contracts,
substantially all administrative and general expenses of the Plan are paid by the Company.
Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right to terminate, amend,
modify or suspend the Plan at any time. In the event the Plan is terminated, the entire value of
the investment funds shall be applied for the exclusive benefit of participants, and no part of the
funds will revert to the Company. Upon termination of the Plan, the Company will have no obligation
to continue making contributions to the Plan, and the Company contribution account for each
participant will become 100% vested and non-forfeitable.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
New Accounting Pronouncement
In December 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position AAG
INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain
Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health
and Welfare and Pension Plans (the FSP). The FSP defines the circumstances in which an investment
contract is considered fully benefit responsive and provides certain reporting and disclosure
requirements for fully benefit responsive investment contracts in defined contribution plans. The
financial statement presentation and disclosure provisions of the FSP are effective for financial
statements issued for annual periods ending after December 15, 2006 and are required to be applied
retroactively to all prior periods presented for comparative purposes. The Plan has adopted the
provisions of the FSP at December 31, 2006. Adoption of the FSP had no effect on the statement of
changes in net assets available for benefits for any period presented.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
All of the Plan investments are held in trust at the Northern Trust Company. The Northern Trust
Company acts as the Plans trustee and custodian.
7
Autoliv ASP, Inc.
Employee Savings and Investment Plan
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Investments in common stock are recorded at fair value as determined by quoted prices in active
markets. Shares of mutual funds are valued at quoted market prices, which represent the net asset
values of shares held by the Plan at year-end. The fair values of participation units in common and
collective trust funds are based on quoted redemption values on the last business day of the Plan
year.
The separate account guaranteed investment contract is valued based on the fair market value of the
underlying assets.
Short-term investment fund units are purchased daily for any uninvested cash. These units are
valued at par, which is equal to the redemption value.
Participant loans are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximate fair value.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded
on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles requires the Plans management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the
financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. Investments
During 2006, the Plans investments (including investments purchased, sold as well as held during
the year) appreciated (depreciated) in fair value as follows:

4. Separate Account Guaranteed Investment Contract
As described in Note 2, the FSP requires fully benefit responsive investment contracts to be
reported at fair value in the Plans statement of net assets available for benefits with a
corresponding adjustment to reflect these investments at contract value. Contract value represents
the contributions under the contract plus reinvested income at the crediting rate less any
withdrawals and expenses. Contract value is the amount the participant would receive if they were
to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. The crediting interest rate for
the investment contract is reset annually by the issuer based on market performance and cannot be
less than zero percent.
9
Autoliv ASP, Inc.
Employee Savings and Investment Plan
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Certain events limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the issuer.
Such events include the following: (1) amendments to the Plan documents (including complete or
partial plan termination or merger with another plan), (2) bankruptcy of the plan sponsor or other
plan sponsor events (for example, divestitures or spin-offs of a subsidiary) that cause a
significant withdrawal from the Plan, or (3) the failure of the trust to qualify for exemption from
federal income taxes or any required prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA. The Plan
administrator does not believe that the occurrence of any such event, which would limit the Plans
ability to transact at contract value with participants, is probable.
The separate account guaranteed investment contract does not permit the issuer to terminate the
agreement prior to the scheduled maturity date.

5. Income Tax Status
The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated May 14, 2002
stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and, therefore, the related
trust is exempt from taxation. Subsequent to this determination by the Internal Revenue Service,
the Plan was amended and restated. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity
with the Code to maintain its qualification. The plan administrator believes the Plan is being
operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that
the Plan, as amended and restated, is qualified and the related trust is tax exempt.
6. Party-In-Interest Transactions
During 2006, the Plan received dividends from Autoliv, Inc. of $645,748. Purchases of Autoliv, Inc.
common stock amounted to $1,874,276 and sales of Autoliv, Inc. common stock were $1,856,372 in
2006.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
7. Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various
risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with
certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of
investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect
participants account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available
for benefits.
