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 46. Airbag label 3 41.
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.
48 Seats, restraints
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.

■ 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, 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 vehicle.
■ The payload is the difference between the permitted gross vehicle weight (see identification plate 3 200) 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.
