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.

The inflated airbags cushion the
impact, thereby reducing the risk of
injury to the head in the event of a
side-on impact considerably.

The curtain airbag system does not
protect passengers on the third seat
row.

9 Warning

Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions.

If the control indicator ONV
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.

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 57.

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 child 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.

60 Seats, restraints

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.

Loading information

■ Heavy objects in the load
compartment should be placed
against the seat backrests. Ensure
the backrests are securely
engaged. If objects can be stacked,
the heavier objects should be
placed at the bottom.

■ Secure objects with lashing straps
attached to lashing eyes 3 88.

■ Secure loose objects in load
compartment to prevent sliding.

■ 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.

■ 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
to the load or car.

■ The payload is the difference
between the permitted gross
vehicle weight (see identification

Storage 95

plate 3 271) 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

for vehicles without roof railing and
100 kg for vehicles with roof railing.

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