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.

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 93.

44 Seats, restraints

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.

There are also warning labels on both
sides of the sunblind on the front
passenger side.

Furthermore there is a warning label
on the side of the instrument panel,
visible when the front passenger door
is open.

The front airbag system is triggered in
the event of a front-end 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 head of
the front seat occupants
considerably.

9 Warning

Optimum protection is only
provided when the seat is in the
proper position 3 36.

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

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

Side airbag system

Seats, restraints 45

The side airbag system consists of an
airbag in each front seat backrest.
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.

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.

46 Seats, restraints

Airbag deactivation

The front passenger airbag system
has to be deactivated if a child
restraint system is to be fitted on this
seat. The side airbag and curtain
airbag systems, 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 airbag is

deactivated and will not inflate
in the event of a collision.
Control indicator * illuminates
continuously in the centre
console. A child restraint
system can be installed in
accordance with the
chart Child restraint
installation locations 3 49.
No adult person is allowed to
occupy the front passenger
seat.

V

= front passenger airbag is

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.

As long as the control indicator * is
not illuminated, the front passenger
airbag system 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.

Seats, restraints 47

Status remains until the next change.
Control indicator for airbag

deactivation 3 94.

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 Warning

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

Children under the age of 12 years
that are smaller than 150 cm are only
allowed to travel in a restraint system
that is suitable for the child. Suitable

48 Seats, restraints

are restraint systems that comply with
ECE 44-03 or ECE 44-04. Since
a proper position of the belt is rarely
possible with a child that is smaller
than 150 cm, we strongly advise the
use of an appropriate child restraint
system, even though this might, due
to the age of the child, no longer be
legally binding.

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.

against the seat backrests. Ensure
that the backrests are securely
engaged. If objects can be stacked,
heavier objects should be placed at
the bottom.

■ Secure objects with lashing straps
attached to the lashing eyes 3 74.
Attach the height adjustable cover
in the lowest position (1) 3 72.

■ Use the four hooks at the side walls
of the load compartment for
hanging up carrier bags. Maximum
load: 5 kg per hook.

■ Station wagon: Use the hook at the
left side wall of the load
compartment for hanging up carrier
bags. Press to fold out the hook.

■ Secure loose objects in the load
compartment to prevent them from
sliding.

■ When transporting objects in the
load compartment, the backrests of
the rear seats must not be angled
forward.

Storage 81

■ Do not allow the load to protrude
above the upper edge of the
backrests.

■ Do not place any objects on the
load compartment cover or the
instrument panel, and do not cover
the sensor on top of the instrument
panel.

■ The load must not obstruct the
operation of the pedals, parking
brake and gear selector lever, or
hinder the freedom of movement of
the driver. Do not place any
unsecured objects in the interior.

■ Do not drive with an open load
compartment.

9 Warning

Always make sure that the load in
the vehicle is securely stowed.
Otherwise objects can be thrown
around inside the vehicle and
cause personal injury or damage
to the load or car.

■ The payload is the difference
between the permitted gross

vehicle weight (see identification
plate 3 204) and the EC kerb
weight.

To calculate the payload, enter the
data for your vehicle in the Weights
table at the front of this manual.

The EC kerb weight includes
weights for the driver (68 kg),
luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (tank
90 % full).

Optional equipment and
accessories increase the kerb
weight.

■ Driving with a roof load increases
the sensitivity of the vehicle to
cross-winds and has a detrimental
effect on vehicle handling due to
the vehicle's higher centre of
gravity. Distribute the load evenly
and secure it properly with retaining
straps. Adjust the tyre pressure and
vehicle speed according to the load
conditions. Check and retighten the
straps frequently.

The permissible roof load is 75 kg.
The roof load is the combined
weight of the roof rack and the load.
