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 affix any objects onto 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 may 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
3 116.

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.

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

Side airbag system

Seats, restraints 55

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.

Seat position 3 41.
Keep the area in which the airbag

inflates clear of obstructions.

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 must 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.

56 Seats, restraints

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 must 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.

Warning

deactivation 3 116.

If the control indicator V illuminates
for approx. 60 seconds after the
ignition is switched on, 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.

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

Status remains until the next change.

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.

Airbag deactivation 3 56.
Airbag label 3 54.

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 valid UN ECE
regulations. 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, see following
tables.

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 affix 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.
