Airbag system

The airbag system consists of a number of individual systems depending on the scope of equipment.

When triggered the airbags inflate within milliseconds. They also deflate so quickly that it is often unnoticeable during the collision.

9 Warning

If handled improperly the airbag systems can be triggered in an explosive manner.

Note The airbag systems and belt pretensioner control electronics are located in the centre console area. Do not put any magnetic objects in this area.

Do not stick anything on the airbag covers and do not cover them with other materials.

54 Seats, restraints

Each airbag is triggered only once. Have deployed airbags replaced by a workshop. Furthermore, it might be necessary to have the steering wheel, the instrument panel, parts of the panelling, the door seals, handles and the seats replaced.

Do not make any modifications to the airbag system as this will invalidate the vehicle type approval.

When the airbags inflate, escaping hot gases may cause burns.

Control indicator v for airbag systems 3 92.

Front airbag system

The front airbag system consists of one airbag in the steering wheel and one in the instrument panel on the front passenger side. These can be identified by the word AIRBAG.

Additionally there is a warning label on the side of the instrument panel, visible when the front passenger door is open, or on the front passenger sun visor.

The front airbag system is triggered in the event of a front-end impact of a certain severity. The ignition must be switched on.

The inflated airbags cushion the impact, thereby reducing the risk of injury to the upper body and head of the front seat occupants considerably.

9 Warning

Optimum protection is only provided when the seat is in the proper position 3 44.

Keep the area in which the airbag inflates clear of obstructions.

Seats, restraints 55

Fit the seat belt correctly and engage securely. Only then the airbag is able to protect.

Side airbag system

The side airbag system consists of an airbag in each front seat backrest and in the rear outboard seat backrests. This can be identified by the word AIRBAG.

The side airbag system is triggered in the event of a side impact of a certain severity. The ignition needs to be switched on.

The inflated airbags cushion the impact, thereby reducing the risk of injury to the upper body and pelvis in the event of a side-on collision considerably.

9 Warning

Keep the area in which the airbag inflates clear of obstructions.

Note Only use protective seat covers that have been approved for the vehicle. Be careful not to cover the airbags.

Curtain airbag system

The curtain airbag system consists of an airbag in the roof frame on each side. This can be identified by the word AIRBAG on the roof pillars.

The curtain airbag system is triggered in the event of a side-on impact of a certain severity. The ignition needs to be switched on.

The inflated airbags cushion the impact, thereby reducing the risk of injury to the head in the event of a side-on impact considerably.

56 Seats, restraints

9 Warning

Keep the area in which the airbag inflates clear of obstructions.

The hooks on the handles in the roof frame are only suitable for hanging up light articles of clothing, without coat hangers. Do not keep any items in these clothes.

Airbag deactivation

Front airbag and side airbag systems for the front passenger seat must be deactivated if a child restraint system is to be fitted on this seat. The curtain airbag system, the belt pretensioners and all driver airbag systems will remain active.

The front passenger airbag system can be deactivated via a keyoperated switch on the right side of the instrument panel.

Use the ignition key to choose the position:

= front passenger airbags are

deactivated and will not inflate in the event of a collision. Control indicator * illuminates continuously. A child restraint system can be installed in accordance with the chart Child restraint installation locations 3 59. No adult person is allowed to occupy the front passenger seat.

= front passenger airbags are

active. A child restraint system must not be installed.

9 Danger

Risk of fatal injury for a child using a child restraint system on a seat with activated front passenger airbag.

Risk of fatal injury for an adult person on a seat with deactivated front passenger airbag.

Seats, restraints 57

As long as the control indicator * is not illuminated, the airbag systems for the front passenger seat will inflate in the event of a collision.

If both control indicators are illuminated at the same time, there is a system failure. The status of the system is not discernible, therefore no person is allowed to occupy the front passenger seat. Contact a workshop immediately.

Consult a workshop immediately if neither of the two control indicators is illuminated.

Change status only when the vehicle is stopped with the ignition off.

Status remains until the next change. Control indicator for airbag

deactivation 3 93.

Child restraints

Child restraint systems

We recommend the Opel child restraint system which is tailored specifically to the vehicle.

When a child restraint system is being used, pay attention to the following usage and installation instructions and also those supplied with the child restraint system.

Always comply with local or national regulations. In some countries, the use of child restraint systems is forbidden on certain seats.

9 Danger

When using a child restraint system on the front passenger seat, the airbag systems for the front passenger seat must be

58 Seats, restraints

deactivated; if not, the triggering of the airbags poses a risk of fatal injury to the child.

This is especially the case if rearfacing child restraint systems are used on the front passenger seat.

Selecting the right system

The rear seats are the most convenient location to fasten a child restraint system.

Children should travel facing rearwards in the vehicle as long as possible. This makes sure that the child's backbone, which is still very weak, is under less strain in the event of an accident.

Suitable are restraint systems that comply with ECE 44-03 or ECE 44-04. Check local laws and regulations for mandatory use of child restraint systems.

Ensure that the child restraint system to be installed is compatible with the vehicle type.

Ensure that the mounting location of the child restraint system within the vehicle is correct.

Allow children to enter and exit the vehicle only on the side facing away from the traffic.

When the child restraint system is not in use, secure the seat with a seat belt or remove it from the vehicle.

Note Do not stick anything on the child restraint systems and do not cover them with any other materials.

A child restraint system which has been subjected to stress in an accident must be replaced.
