Child restraints

Child restraint systems

We recommend the Vauxhall 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.

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.

Children under the age of 12 years that are smaller than 150 cm are only allowed to travel in a restraint system that is suitable for the child. Child restraint systems that comply with ECE 44-03 or ECE 44-04 are suitable. Since the proper position of the belt is rarely possible with a child that is smaller than 150 cm, we strongly advise the use of an appropriate child restraint system, even though this may, due to the age of the child, no longer be legally binding.

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.

Notice 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.

Roof rack

For safety reasons and to avoid damage to the roof, the vehicle approved roof rack system is recommended.

Fasten the roof rack to the roof rails following the instructions that accompany the system, ensuring that the roof load is evenly distributed over the side or cross rails.

Loads must not be placed on the roof surface. To prevent damage or loss, check frequently that roof loads are securely fastened.

Driving with a roof load affects the vehicle centre of gravity; drive carefully in crosswinds and do not drive at high speeds.

Remove the roof rack when not in use.

Loading information

■ Heavy objects in the load compartment should be evenly distributed and placed as far forward as possible. Ensure the backrests are securely engaged. If objects can be stacked, the heavier objects should be placed at the bottom.

With rear seats in the folded position, or with safety net installed behind rear seats, objects must not be stacked higher than the seat backrests.

■ Secure objects with lashing straps attached to lashing eyes 3 65.

■ Secure loose objects in the load compartment using FlexOrganizer or a luggage floor net to prevent sliding.

■ When transporting objects in the load compartment, fit the safety net 3 66. 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, electrical 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 car.

■ The payload is the difference between the permitted gross

Storage 69

vehicle weight (see identification plate 3 189) and the EC kerb weight.

To calculate the EC kerb weight, 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 75 mph.

The permissible roof load is 100 kg. The roof load is the combined weight of the roof rack and the load.
