Three-stage restraint system

The system comprises:

z Three-point seat belts.
z Be lt tensioners, with load limiters, on the

fro nt se ats.

z Airbag systems for driver, front

passenger and rear outboard seat
occupants 3.

The three stages are a ctivated in sequence
depending on the seriousness of the

accident:
z The automatic seat belt locking devices

prevent the belt strap from being pulled
out and thus ensure that the vehicle

occupants are retained in the ir seats.

z The front seat belt buckles are pulled

downwards. As a result, the seat belts
are instantaneously tightene d and the

occupants are made aware of the
deceleration of the vehicle at a very ea rly

stage. This reduces stress placed on the
body.

z The airbag system is additionally

triggered in the event of a serious
accident involving a frontal impact, and

forms a safety cushion for the driver and
front passenger 3. In the ev en t of a side-

impact, the side airbag system 3
protects the occupants in the front of the

vehicle, and the curtain airbag system 3
protects both front and rear outboard

seat occupants.

9 Wa rnin g

The airbag system serves to supplement
the three-point seat belts and belt

tensioners. The seat belts must therefore
always be worn.

Disregard of these notes can lead to
injuries which may be fatal. Vehicle

pas seng ers must be informed
accordingly.

Be sure to read the descriptions of all the
ch ild restrai nt sy ste ms o n the fo llow ing

pages.

Safety systems72

Sea t belts

9 Wa rning

Alwa ys wear your seat belt, also in urban
traffic and when you are a rear seat

passenger. It can save your life.
Pregnant women too must always wear a

seat belt, keeping the lap be lt low and
snug on the hips and pelvis (not the waist

or abdomen, where actuating belt
tensioners could cause serious injury in

the event of a c ollision).

In the event of an accident, persons not
wearing seat be lts endanger their fellow

occupants and themselves.
Seat belts are designed to be used by only

on e pers on a t a time . They are only
suitable for children aged up to 12 or

smaller than 150 cm if used in conjunction
with a c hild restraint.

Three-point seat belts

The front and rear seats are equipped with
three-point seat belts with automatic

retractors and locking devices, allowing
freedom of body movement when the

vehicle move s at a constant speed,
although the spring-tensioned belts are

always a snug fit.
The belt has a “vehicle sensitive retractor”

which is designed to lock during heavy
acceleration or deceleration in any

direction.

Picture no: s11650.tif

Using the belts

Fitti ng the belt

Pull the belt out evenly from the retractor
and g uide it over the shoulder, making

certain that it is not twisted.
Insert the latch plate into the buckle.

The seat back rest must not be tilted back
too f ar (the recom mended m aximum tilting

angle is approx. 25°).
The la p belt must not be twisted and must

fit snugly across the body. Tension the belt
frequently whilst driving by tugg ing the

diagonal part of the belt.
The shoulder belt must lie snug against the

shoulder, not under an arm, across the
neck, over an armrest 3 or over the inside

shoulde r. The belt should be tensioned
freq uen tly so that ther e is in sufficient slac k

to allow e xcessive forward movement in
the event of a collision.

S afety sy ste ms 73

Picture no: s0011735.tif

9 Wa rning

On pregnant women in particular,
the lap belt m ust be positioned as low as

possible across the pelvis, in order to
prevent pressure on the abd omen.

Keep knees po inting s traight fo rwards so
that driver’s side knee bolsters can help

prevent submarining under the seat belt in
the event of a collision.

Bulky clothing prevents the belt from fitting
properly. The belt must not rest against

hard or fragile objects in the pockets of
your clothing (e.g. ballpoint pe ns, k eys,

spectacles) because these could cause
injury in the event of a collision. Do not

place any objects (e.g. handbags) between
the belt and your body.

Front passenger’s seat belt

reminde r k 3

Illum inates for approx. 4 seconds whe n
ignition is switched on.

When the engine is running, if the front
passenger’s seat is occupie d and the belt is

not engaged, the control indicator will
flash for approx. 90 seconds and then

illuminate until the belt is fastened
correctly (control indicator will go out

immediately).
If vehicle speed exceeds approx. 14 mph

(22 k m/h), t he c ontrol in dicator will flas h fo r
approx. 90 seconds along with a w arning

of front seat belt upper anchorage points

z Do not adjust heig ht whilst driving.
z Squeeze release buttons together and

slide adjuster up or down to d esired
position.

z Ensure sliding height adjuster latches

into p osition.

Height adjuster can also be moved up
without squeezing release buttons.

Check height adjuster has locked into
position by attempting to move it down

without squeezing the release buttons.
Adjust height such that the belt passes

over the centre of the wearer’s shoulder
and rests against the shoulder. It m ust not

pass over the neck or upper arm, over an
armrest 3 or over the inside shoulder, to

ensure effectiveness of the belt.

Safety systems74

Picture no: s11737.tif

Remov ing the belt

To remove the belt, press the red release
button on the belt buckle; the belt will

retract automatically.
Guide the belt as it retracts, to prevent

personal injury and damage to interior
surfaces.

Always e nsure you position the re lease
button so that you can unb uckle the seat

belt quickly if necessary.

Inspection of belts

Periodically inspect all parts of the belt
sy st e m for d amage an d to make sure t he y

are functioning p roperly.
Have dama ged parts replace d by a

workshop. After an accident, dam aged or
overstretched belts must be replaced by

new on es, e ve n if damag e or s tretching is
not obvious or visible. If advised that no

damage to seat belts has oc curred, you
need not make any replacement.

Do not perform any alterations on the
belts, their a nchorages, the automatic

retractors or the belt buckles.
Make sure that belts are not damaged or

tra pped by sharp-edged objects.

Picture no: s11739.tif

Belt tensioners

The se at be lt sy ste ms on the front seats
incorporate belt tensioners housed in the

belt buckles.
In the event of frontal collisions or side-

impacts of a certain severity, belt b uckles
are pulled downwards; the shoulder and

lap belts are instantaneously tightened to
fit the occupant’s body more snugly.

The belt buck les will remain locked after
actuation (where some noise will occur and

smoke may be released).
Belt tensioners are not designed to a ctivate

in the event of rear-impacts, minor side­impacts, rollovers or minor frontal

collisions.

S afety sy ste ms 75

Load limiters on the front seats reduce the
impac t on the seat occupan t’s body from a

tensioning b elt, in the event of a severe
frontal collision. The belt force is controlled,

to reduce the risk of belt-inflicted injury.

Actua tion of belt t ensioners

The b elt tensioners actuate only once and
must be replaced by a workshop after

activation.

9 Wa rning

The belt tensioners are operational only
when control indicator v is unlit.

If the control indicator does not flash
briefly when the ignition is on, stays lit,

illuminates or flashes whilst driving, the
belt tensioners or the airbag systems m ay

not function correctly.
Have both systems inspected by a

workshop.

The se at belts re main fully operational
even when the belt tensioners have been

actuated.

Belt tensione rs control indicat or v

Picture no: s0013500.tif

The seat belt tensioners are monitored
electronically together with the airbag, and

their operational readiness is shown by the
control indicator v in the instrument

cluster.
When the ignition is switched on, the

control indicator flashes several times then
extinguishes. If it does not flash, stays lit,

illuminates or flashes whilst driving, there is
a fault with the belt tensioners or in the

airbag systems. The systems might not
therefore be triggered in the event of an

accident (see also page 79).

9 Warning

The system’s integrated self-diagnostics
allows faults to be quickly remedied. Have

the Car Pass to hand when consulting a
Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Important

z Accessories not released for your vehicle

type and other objects must not be fixed
or placed within the action zone of the

belt tensioners, as they may result in
injury if the belt tensioners are trigg ered.

z Do not make any modifications to the

components of the belt tensioners, as
this may result in unintended actuation

of the belt tensioners, rendering the
vehicle unroadworthy and causing

serious personal injury.

9 Wa rnin g

Im pro p e r ha nd lin g (e .g. r emova l o r
installation) can activate the belt

tensioners – risk of injury.

Have the cause of the fa ult remedied by
a workshop.

Safety systems76

z The belt tensioner and airbag system

control electronics can be found in the
centre console area. In order to avoid

malfunctions, do not store magnetic
ob jects i n thi s ar e a.

z In the event of belt tensioner actuation,

we recommend that you have the front
se ats remove d by a wo rks ho p.

z The belt tensioners only actuate once.

Have belt tensioners that have been
trigg ered replaced by a w orkshop.

Air bag systems

Fro n t a irbag s

The front airbag system is identified by the
word “Airbag” on the steering wheel and

above the glove compa rtm ent.
The front airbag system comprises:

z an airbag with an inflator in the steering

wheel, and a second one behind a trim
panel above the glove comp artment,

z the co ntr ol electronics,
z the front impact sensor,

z the airbag system control indicator v in

the instrum ent cluster.

The front airbag system is triggered:

Picture no: 17112T.tif

z depending on the severity of the

accident,

z depending on the type of im pact,
z within the range shown in the illustration,

z independently of the side airbag and

curtain airb ag systems 3.

Examples:
z Impact against a non-yielding obstacle:

the front airbags are triggered at low
vehicle speeds,

z Impact aga inst a yielding obsta cle (such

as another vehicle): the front airbags are
only triggered at a higher vehic le speed.

S afety sy ste ms 77

When triggered, the driver’s and front
passenger’s airbags inflate in milliseconds

and form safety cushions for the driver and
front passenger. Forward movement of

driver and front passenger is checked and
the risk of injuries to the upper body and

head are the reby substantially reduced.
z No impairme nt of view will occur, as

airbags inflate and deflate so quickly.

9 Wa rning

The front airbag system provides
op timum protection when the seat, seat

belt, backrest and head restraint are
correctly ad justed.

Adjust the driver's seat according to the
occupant's height such that, with the

driver sitting u pright, the steering wh eel is
held in the area of its uppe r spok es with

the driver's arms slightly bent.
The driver’s seat should be as far back as

possible without compromising the
driver’s ability to reach the pedals,

steering wheel or controls.
The front p assen ger’s seat s hould be a s

far back a s possible, with the backrest
upright. Do not place the head, body,

hands or feet on the cover of the airbag
sys tem .

Do not p lace objects, children or pets in
the area in which the airbag s inflate.

The front airbag system will not be
triggered in the event of:

z the ignition being switched off,
z minor frontal collisions,

z accidents in which the vehicle overturns,
z collisions involving a side or rear-impact

where it would not be of benefit to the
occupants.

9 Warning

Seat belts must therefore always be worn.
The front airbag system serves to

supplement the three-point seat belts.
If you do not we ar your sea t belt, you risk

being seriously injured, or even thrown
from the vehicle, in the event of an

accident.
Th e se at be lt he lps to keep y ou in the

correct seat position, in w hich the front

Si de airba gs 3

Picture no: s0013452.tif

The side airbags are identified by the word
"Airbag" on the outboard sides of the front

seat backrests, and p rotect front seat
occupants in the event of a severe side-

impact.
The side air bag sy ste m comprises :

z an airbag with inflator in the outboard

sides of the driver's a nd front
pas se ng er's se at bac k res ts,

z the control electronics,
z the side-impact sensors,

z the airbag sy ste ms control indicator v in

the instrument cluster.

Safety systems78

Picture no: 17114T.tif

The side airbag system will be triggered:
z depending on the severity of the

accident,

z depending on the type of impact,
z within the range show n in the illustration,

z inde pendently of the front airbag

sys tem .

When trigg ered, the side airbag inflates in
milliseconds and forms a safety cushion for

the driver and/or front passenger in the
res pective doo r are a. The risk of injury to

the up per body and pelvis in the event of a
side-impact is thereby substantially

reduced.

9 Warning

There must be no objects in the area in
which the airb ag inflates or in the a rea

between the seat backrests and the
vehicle body.

Do not place hands, arms or other body
parts on the covers of the airbag systems.

Important information - see page 80.
The three-point seat b elt must a lways be

correctly fitted - see page 72.

The side airbags will not be triggered in the
eve n t of:

z the ignition being switched off,
z frontal collisions,

z accidents in which the vehicle overturns,

if latera l impact is insufficient for side
airbag deployment,

z collisions involving a rear-impact,
z collisions involving a side-impact outside

the passenger cell.

Curtain ai rbags 3

Picture no: s0013424.tif

The curtain airbag system is identified by
the word "Airbag" on the roof frame, and

protects front seat and rear outboard seat
occupants in the event of a severe side-

impact.
The curtain airbag system comprises:

z an airbag with inflator in the roof frame

above the doors on the driver’s and
pas seng er’s side re sp ect ively,

z the control electronics,
z the side-impact sensors,

z the airbag sy ste ms control indicator v in

the instrument cluster.

The curtain airbag system will be triggered:

Picture no: 17114T.tif

z depending on the severity of the

accident,

z depending on the type of impact,
z within the range show n in the illustration,

z together with the side airbag system,
z inde pendently of the front airbag

sys tem .

When triggered, the curtain airbag inflates
in milliseconds and provides a safety

barrier in th e he ad a rea on t he res pective
side of th e v ehicle. T his re duces th e risk o f

injury to the head considerably in the event
of a side-impact.

9 Warning

There must be no objects in the area in
which the airb ag inflates. Do not place

hands, arms or other body parts on the
covers of the airbag systems.

Never secure anything to the roof by
routing ropes through the doors or

windows, to avoid obstructing inflation of
the curtain airbags.

Important information – see page 80.
The three-point seat b elt must a lways be

correctly fitted – see page 72.

The curta in airbags will not be triggered in
the event of:

z the ignition being switched off,
z frontal collisions,

z accidents in which the vehicle overturns,

if lateral impact is insufficient for curtain
airbag deployment,

z collisions involving a rear-impact,
z collisions involving a side-impact outside

the passenger cell.

Airb ag control indica tor v

The front airbag system, side airbag
system 3 and curtain airbag system 3 are

monitored electronically together with the
belt tensioners, and their operational

readiness is shown by the control indicator
v in the instrument cluster.

When the ignition is switched on, the
control indicator flashes several times then

extinguishes. If it does not flash, stays lit,
illuminates or flashes whilst driving, there is

a fa ult in the airbag systems or with the
belt tensioners. The systems might not

therefore be triggered in the event of an
accid ent (see also p age 75).

9 Wa rnin g

Have the cause of the fault remedied by
a workshop.

Safety systems80

The system's integral self-diagnosis fa cility
allows faults to be quickly remedied. Have

your Car Pass ready to hand when
consulting a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

9 Wa rning

Disreg ard o f these in s tructions may lead
to injuries or end anger life.

Imp or tant

z Accessories not released for your vehicle

type and other objects must not be
affixed or placed in the area in which the

airbags inflate, as they could cause
injury when the airbags are triggered.

z Do not place any objects between the

airbag systems and the vehicle
occupants; risk of injury.

z Do not stick or place anything on the

stee ring wheel, in stru ment p anel, fr ont
seat backrests in the vicinity of the

airbags and seat areas or cover the m
with other materials.

z The airb ag systems and belt tensioner

control electronics can be found in the
centre console area. In order to avoid

malfunctions, d o not store magnetic
objects in this area.

z Use only a dry cloth or interior cleaner to

clean the steering wheel, instrument
panel, front seat backrests, roof frame

and seat area of the front seats. Do not
use any aggressive cleaning agents.

z Only protective covers which are

approved for your vehicle with side
airbags 3 m ay be fitted on the front

seats. When fitting the protective covers,
make sure that the airbag units on the

outboard sides of the front seat
backrests are not covered.

z The airbag systems are triggered

ind epend ently of each other, depending
on the severity of the accident a nd the

type o f im pact. The side airbag syst em 3
and the curtain airbag system 3 are

triggered together.

z During off-road driving especially,

airbags can also inflate in moderate to
severe non-collision situations such as

when slamming the und ercarriage or
other solid components of the vehic le in

a dip in the driving surface.

z Each airbag can be trigge red only once.

Once triggered, an airb ag must be
replaced without delay. Consult a

workshop.

S afety sy ste ms 81

z After airbags deflate, you may notice a

burning smell, smoke and white powder
in the interior, which is normal. Although

they may cause skin or eye irritation,
these substances are non-toxic.

z Hazard w arning lights flash and locked

doors will be unlocked automatically
when airbags deploy.

z The speeds, directions of movement and

deformation properties of the vehicles,
and the properties of the obstacle

concerned, determine the severity of the
accident and trig gering of the airbags.

z The degree of damag e to y our v ehicle

and the resulting repair costs alone are
not indicative that the criteria for

triggering of the airbags were met.

z Do not perform any modifications to the

com ponents of the airbag systems, as
this will render the vehicle unroadworthy.

9 Wa rning

The systems can be triggered abruptly
and cause injury if they are handled

im p r o p er l y.

z We recommend having the steering

whe el, the ins trume nt pan el, all panelling
parts, the door seals, handles and the

front seats removed by your Vauxhall
Authorised Repairer in the event of

airbag deployment.

z The front seat assembly must be

replaced without delay if a side airbag
has been deployed. Consult a workshop.

z When disposing of the vehicle, please

observe the applicable safety
regulations. Please have the vehicle

disposed of by a disposal company.
We recommend that you consult your
