Beyond the warning required by
ECE R94.02, for safety reasons
never use a forward-facing child
restraint system on the passenger
seat with an active front airbag.

9 Danger

Do not use a child restraint system
on the passenger seat with active
front airbag.

Airbag deactivation 3 61.

60 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.

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 46.

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

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.

Seats, restraints 61

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

Airbag deactivation

The front passenger airbag system
must be deactivated if a child restraint
system is to be fitted on this seat. The
side airbags, 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:

*OFF

VON = front passenger airbag is

= front passenger airbag is

deactivated and will not
inflate in the event of a

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.

If the control indicator
for approx. 60 seconds after the
ignition is switched on, the front
passenger airbag system will inflate
in the event of a collision.

V illuminates

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.
Control indicator for airbag

deactivation 3 88.

Child restraints

Child restraint systems

We recommend the following child
restraint systems which are tailored
specifically to the vehicle:

■ Group 0, Group 0+
OPEL Baby cradle, with or without

ISOFIX base, for children up to
13 kg

■ Group I
OPEL Duo, Britax Römer King, for

children from 9 kg to 18 kg

■ Group II, Group III
OPEL Kid, OPEL Kidfix, for children

from 15 kg up to 36 kg

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.

Seats, restraints 63

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 61.

9 Warning

When using child restraint
systems on the rear seats, ensure
that the backrests are engaged
securely in upright position.

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.
