Beyond the warning required by
ECE R94.02, for safety reasons a
forward-facing child restraint system
must only be used subject to the
instructions and restrictions in the
tables 3 52.

The airbag label is located on both
sides of the front passenger sun visor.

Airbag deactivation 3 48.

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. The location is
identified by the word AIRBAG.

Seats, restraints 47

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.

Seat position 3 37.
Keep the area in which the airbag

inflates clear of obstructions.
Fit the seat belt correctly and

engage securely. Only then is the
airbag able to protect.

Side airbag system

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

48 Seats, restraints

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. The location is 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.

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

The front passenger airbag system
must be deactivated for child restraint
system on the passenger seat
according to the instructions in the
tables 3 52.

The other airbag systems, the belt
pretensioners and all driver airbag
systems will remain active.

Seats, restraints 49

Use the ignition key to choose the
switch position:

*OFF

VON = front passenger airbag is

= front passenger airbag is

deactivated and will not
inflate in the event of a
collision. Control indicator
*OFF illuminates
continuously in the centre
console

active

9 Danger

Deactivate passenger airbag only
in combination with the use of a
child restraint system, subject to
the instructions and restrictions in
the tables 3 52.

Otherwise, there is a risk of fatal
injury for a person occupying a
seat with a deactivated front
passenger airbag.

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.
Control indicator for airbag

deactivation 3 90.

50 Seats, restraints

Child restraints

Child restraint systems

We recommend Opel child restraint
systems which are tailored
specifically to the vehicle.

The following child restraints are
recommended for the following
weight classes:

■ Group 0, Group 0+
Maxi Cosi Cabriofix plus Easyfix,

for children up to 13 kg

■ Group I
OPEL Duo, for children from 13 kg

to 18 kg in this group

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.

Check local laws and regulations for
mandatory use of child restraint
systems. In some countries, the use
of child restraint systems is forbidden
on certain seats.

Danger

9

If using a rear-facing child restraint
system on the front passenger
seat, the airbag system for the
front passenger seat must be
deactivated. This also applies to
certain forward-facing child
restraint systems as indicated in
the tables 3 52.

Airbag deactivation 3 48.
Airbag label 3 43.
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 ensures that the child's
backbone, which is still very weak, is
under less strain in the event of an
accident.

Selecting the right system

Only use suitable restraint systems,
e.g. those that comply with valid
UN ECE regulations.

Ensure that the child restraint system
to be installed is compatible with the
vehicle type. Refer to the tables on
the following pages, the instructions
supplied with the child restraint
system and the vehicle type list of
non-universal child restraint systems.

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.

Child restraint systems could be
fastened with ISOFIX mounting
brackets, Top-tether if available,
and/or a three-point seat belt. Refer
to the following tables.

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.

Loading information

■ Heavy objects in the load
compartment should be placed
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 72.

■ Use the hook at the right sidewall of
the load compartment for hanging
up carrier bags. Maximum load:
5 kg.

■ 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.

■ 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

■ The payload is the difference
between the permitted gross
vehicle weight (see identification
plate 3 229) 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.

Do not drive faster than 120 km/h.
The permissible roof load is 75 kg.

The roof load is the combined
weight of the roof rack and the load.
