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.

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.

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. 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.

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 53.
Airbag label 3 51.

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.

56 Seats, restraints

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.

Warning

9

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 car.

● The payload is the difference
between the permitted gross
vehicle weight (see identification
plate 3 257) 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 (fuel
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.
