Notes on loading the vehicle

z Heavy objec ts in the luggage/load

com partment should be placed as far
forward as possible against the rear seat

backrests or, if the rear seat backrests
are folded down, ag ainst the front s eat

backrests. If objects are to be stacked,
the heavier obje cts should be placed at

the bottom. Unsecured objects in the
lugga ge/load compartm ent would be

thrown forward with great force, for
instance in the event of heavy brak ing.

z Secure heavy objects with lashing

straps 3 a ttac he d to lashing eyes 3 –
see page 72. If heavy loads slip when the

vehicle is braked h eavily or driven
around a bend, the handling of the

vehicle may change.

z C om bo: If objects are transported in the

load c ompartment, the split load
compa rtment grille 3 mu s t always be

locked in one of the retainers and the
lever m ust be engaged at its bottom

position – see page 72.

z C ombo : Close th e lu ggage co mpartmen t

window.

z If objects are being tran sporte d in the

luggage/load compartment, the rear
s ea t backre sts mu st be lo cked i n p o si t i o n

– see pages 67, 69.

z Do not a llow the load to protrude ab ove

the upp er e dge of the rear seat
backrests, or above the uppe r ed ge of

the front seat backrests if the rear seat
backrests are folded down.

z The warning triangle 3 and first-aid kit

(cushion) 3 must always be freely
acces sible.

z Do not place any obje cts in front of the

rea r window or on the instrument panel.
Th ey are reflecte d in the gla ss , o bstru ct

the driver’s view and will be thrown
th r o ugh th e ve hicle , fo r i n sta nce in th e

event of he avy bra king.

z C om bo: when stowing objects in the

stowage compartment above the front
seats, secure against falling out.

z No objects must be placed in the area in

which the airbags inflate, as they could
cause injury when the airbags are

trig gered.

z The load must not obstruct the operation

of the hand brak e and the gears or
restrict the driver’s freedom of

movement.

z Do not drive with luggage compartm ent

open when tra nsporting bulky objects,
for exam ple, since toxic exhaust fumes

could penetra te the interior.

z Weights, payload and roof load – se e

page 234.

z Driv ing with a roof load (see pages 138,

141, 160) increases the sensitivity of the
vehicle to crosswinds and has a

detrimenta l effec t on vehicle handling
owing to the vehicle’s higher centre of

gravity.

Safety systems

Three-stage re straint system

Compris ing:

z Three-point seat belts,
z Be lt tensioners at the front seats,

z Airbag systems for driver’s seat,

passenger seat 3 and outboard rear
seats 3.

The thre e stages are a ctivated in se quence
depending on the seriousness of the

accident:
z The automatic seat belt locking de vices

prevent the belt strap from being pulled
out and thus ensure that the vehicle

occupants are re tained in their seats .

z The front seat b elt buckle s are pulled

downwards. As a result, the seat belts
are instantaneously tightened and the

occupants are made aware of the
deceleration of the vehicle at a very early

stage. This reduces the stress placed on
the body.

z The airbag systems a re also triggered in

th e ev en t of s eri ou s ac cid e nt s an d f o rm a
safety cushion for the occupants.

The a irbag syste m s 3 serve to
supplement the three-point seat belts

and belt tensione rs. The seat belts must
therefore always be worn. Disregard of

these instructions may lead to injuries or
en dan g e r li fe. Ve hi cl e p ass en ge r s sho u ld

be informed accordingly.

Seat belts

Alwa ys wear your seat belt, and that
means also in urb an traffic and when

you are a rear seat pas senger. It can
save y our life!

Pregnant women must always wear a
seat belt – see page 8 2.

In the event of an accident, persons not
wearing sea t belts e ndanger their fe llow

occupants and themselves.
Warning light X for the seat belt – see

page 29.

Seat belts are designed to be used by only
one person at a time. They are not suitable

for c hildren under 12 yea rs of age or
150 cm un less an appropriate child

restraint system is used.

For children up to 12 y ears of age we
recomme nd the Vauxhall child re straint

sy st e m – se e pa ge 9 5.

Three-point seat belts

The vehicle is equipped with three-point
seat belts with automatic re tractors and

locking d evices, allowing freedom of body
movement although the spring tensioned

be lts alw a y s en su r e a s nug fit. C orre ct se at
position – see page 85.

The belt has a "vehicle s ensitive retra ctor"
which is de signed to lock during heavy

acceleration or deceleration in any
direction.

79

Belt tens io ners

Th e fro n t se at belt s are e quipped w ith be lt
tensioners. In the event of a head-on or

rear-end collision of a certain severity, the
buckles are pulle d downwards , thereby

tightening the belts.

If the seat be lts are undama ged the
operation thereof is unaffected, even if the

belt tensioners have b een triggered.

Further information – see page 83.

Actuati on of be lt te nsioners

is indicated by illumination of control
indica tor v, see next page.

The be lt tensioners must be replace d after
activation. We recommend that you

80

Cont rol indica tor v for belt t ension ers

The b elt tensioners are monitored
electronically and their operational

readine ss is indicated on the instrumen t
panel by c ontrol indicator v . Wh en the

ignition is switched on the control indicator
lights up for approx. 4 seconds. I f it does

not light up, does not go off after
4 seconds, or lights up wh ile driving, the re

is fault in the belt tensioner system or the
airbag systems – see page 89. The belt

tensioners or airbag systems may not be
triggered in the event of an accident.

Have the cause of the fault remedied .
We recom mend that y ou consult your

Vauxhall Authorised Rep airer.

Imp or tant

z Do not fit acce ssories not sp ecifically

released for your vehicle type or store
objects in the belt tensioner ope rating

area (in the area of the belt tensioners)
due to the risk of injury in the event the

belt tensioners are triggered.

z Do not mak e any modifications to the

components of the belt tensioners, as
this will render the v ehicle unroadworthy.

Imprope r handling (e.g. removal or
installation) could cause the be lt

tensioners to be triggered. Risk of injury!

z The belt tensioner and airbag system

control electronics can be found in the
centre console area. In order to avoid

malfunctions, do not store magnetic
objects in this are a.

z We recom mend that you have the front

Usin g t he b elts

Fitting seat belts

Pull the belt out of the retractor and guide
it across the body, making ce rtain that it is

not twisted.

Insert latch plate into buckle. Backre st
must not be tilted too far back as this

would affect the opera tion of the seat
belts; recommended tilting a ngle app rox.

25°. The lap belt must be s traight and lie
snugly against the body. Tighten lap belt

at frequent intervals whilst driving by
tugging diagonal pa rt of belt.

82

On pregnant women in particular, the
lap belt must be positioned as low as

possible ac ross the pelv is so as not to put
too much pressure on the abdomen.

Bulk y clothing prevents the belt from fitting
properly. The belt must not rest against

ha rd or fragile objects in the pockets of
you r clothing (e.g. ballpoint pens, ke ys ,

spectacles) be cause these could cause
injury. Do not place any objec ts (e.g.

ha ndbags, mobile phones) between the
belt and your body.

Height adjustment

of front seat belt upper a nchorage points:

1. Pull belt out slig htly.

2. Press belt guide or, in 5-door saloon,
push button down.

3. Se t desired heigh t.

4. Allow to lock audibly into p osition.

Do not adjust height while driving.

Adjust height setting such that seat belt
runs over and lies against the shoulder. The

belt must not run over the neck or upper
arm – see page 79, F ig. 13190 S.

Remov ing the belt

To rem ove the be lt, depress the red
pushbutton on the buckle ; the belt will

retract automatically.

Three -point seat b elt on centre rear seat

The be lt can only be pulled out of the
retractor 3 if the rear seat backrests are

engaged in their retainers – see page 67.

Testing the belts

Plea se c h eck a ll par ts of th e b elt s ys t em
occasionally for dama ge a nd correct

operation. Have damage d parts replaced .
In ca se of an accide nt, please replace

overstretched belts and triggered belt
tensioners. We recommend consulting your

Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Do not perform any altera tions on the
belts, their anchorages, the automatic

retractors or the belt buck les.

Mak e sure that b elts are not da mage d or
trapped by sharp-edge d objects.

Vauxhall Full Size airbag system

Front airb ag

Th e fro nt a irbag s ys t em is iden tified by th e
word AIRBAG on th e s teering whee l an d

above the glove compartment 3.

The front airbag system comprises:
z an airbag with inflator in the steering

wheel and a second one in the
instrument panel 3,

z the control elec tronics with impact

se ns or ,

z the airbag systems control indicator v in

the instrument panel.

z seat occ upancy rec ognition 3,
z the control indicator for Vauxhall child

restraint systems y with transponders 3
in the courtesy light.

The front airb ag system will be triggered:
z depending on the severity of the

accident,

z de pending on the type of impact,
z within the range shown in the illustration,

z independently of the side airb ag

system 3 and curtain airbag system 3.

Exception:
Passenger sea t with seat occupancy

recognition syste m 3 . The seat occupancy
recognition system deactiva tes the

passenger front and side airbags if the
passenger seat is unoccupied or a

Vauxhall child restraint s ystem with
transponders 3 has be en fitted to the

passenger seat. Seat occupa ncy
recognition – see p age 89. Vauxhall child

re st r aint sy ste m w i th t r an spo n d e rs 3 – s ee
pag e 96.

Examples of events triggering the front
airbag system:

z Impact against a non-yielding obstacle:

The front airbags are trigg ered at low
vehicle speed.

z Impact against a yield ing obstacle

(such as another vehicle): The front
airbags are only triggered at a higher

vehicle speed.

84

When trigg ered, the front airbags inflate in
milliseconds and form a safety cushion for

driver an d front pas senger. The forward
movement of the driver and front

passenger is che cked and the risk of
injuries to the upper body a nd head

thereby substantially reduced.

No im pairment of view will occur, because
the a irbags inflate and deflate so quickly

that it is often not even noticed in an
accident.

The front airbag system provides
optimum protection when the seat,

backrest and head restraint are corre ctly
adju s ted: Adj ust the dr iver’s seat

according to the occupant’s height so
that whe n the driver is sitting up right, the

steering wheel is held in the area of its
uppe r sp ok es wit h the d riv er’s arms

slightly bent. The passenger seat shou ld
be as far back as possible, with the

backrest upright (see pages 5, 64, 82).
Do not place the head, body, hands or

feet on the covers of the airbag systems.

Do not place any objects in the area in
which the airb ags inflate. Important

information – s ee page 92.

Th e thr e e-poin t s eat be lt must b e
correctly fitted – see page 82.

The front airbag system will not be
triggered in the event of

z the ignition is switched off,
z minor frontal collisions,

z accidents in which the vehicle overturns,
z collisions involving a side or rear impa ct,

that is to say, if it w ould not be of benefit to
the occupants.

85

Seat belts must therefore always be
worn. The front airbag system serves to

supplement the three-point seat belts. If
you do not wea r your seat be lt you r is k

being seriously injure d, or even thrown
from the ve hic le, in th e event o f an

accident.

In the event of an accident the belt he lps
to keep you in the correct seating

position, so that the front airbag s ystem
can pr o vide you wit h ef fe cti ve

protection.

In addition, the front airb ag system will not
be triggered for the front passenger in

versions with seat occupancy recognition 3
if

z the front passenger’s seat is unoccupied,
z the re is a prop erly fitted Vauxha ll child

restraint system with transponders 3 .
Seat occup ancy recognition, see

page 89. Vauxhall child restraint system
w i th tr a n s p o n d e r s 3 – see page 96.

Side airb ag 3

The side airbag system is identified by the
word AIRBAG on the outb oard sides of the

front seat backrests.

The side airbag system comprises:
z An airbag with inflator in the back of the

driver’s and front passenger’s s eat
respectively ,

z T h e cont rol elect ronics,
z T h e sid e imp a ct se n sors,

z The airbag systems control indicator v

in the instrument pane l,

z Seat occupancy recognition 3,
z The control indicator for Vauxhall child

restraint systems y with transponders 3
in the courtesy light.

The side airbag system will be trigge red:
z Depending on the severity of the

accident,

z Depending on the type of impa ct,
z Within the range sh own in the illus tra tion

on the centre d oor pillar of the driver’s or
front passenger side,

z Independently of the front a irba g

sy ste m.

Exce ption: Pa ssenger seat with seat
occupancy recognition system 3. The seat

occupancy recognition system deactivates
the pa ssenger front and side airbags if the

passenger seat is unoccupied or a
Vauxhall child restraint s ystem with

transponders 3 has be en fitted to the
passenger seat. Seat occupa ncy

recognition – see p age 89. Vauxhall child
restraint system w ith transponders 3

– se e page 96.

86

When triggere d, the side airbag inflates in
milliseconds to form a safety cushion for

th e d riv er or f r o n t pas se n ger in the
respective door area. This substantially

reduces the risk of injury to the upper body
in the event of a side-on collision.

There must be no objects in the area in
which the airbag inflates or in the a rea

between the seat backs and the ve hicle
body. Do not place the hands or arms on

the covers of the airbag systems.
Important information – see page 92.

Th e thre e-p oint se at b elt m us t always b e
correctly fitted – see page 82.

The side airbags will not be triggered in the
eve n t o f

z the ignition is switched off,
z fronta l collisions,

z accidents in which the vehicle overturns,
z collisions involving a re ar impac t,

z collisions involving a side imp act outside

the passenger cell.

In addition, the side airbag system will not
be triggered for the front passenger in

versions with seat occupa ncy recognition 3
if

z the front p assenger’s seat is unoccupied
z there is a prope rly fitted Vauxhall child

restraint system with transponders 3.
Seat occupancy recognition, see

page 8 9. Vauxhall c hild restraint system
with transponders 3 – see page 96.

Curtain ai rbag 3

The curtain airbag system is identified by
the word AIRBAG on the roof pillar trim.

The curtain a irbag system comprises:
z an airbag w ith inflator in the roof frame

on the d river’s and front passenger’s side
respectively,

z the control electronics,
z the side impact sensors,

z the airb ag systems control indicator v in

the instrument panel.

87

The curtain airbag s ystem will be trigge red:
z Depending on the severity of the

accident,

z Depending on the type of impac t,
z Within the range sh ow n in the illustration

on the centre door pillar of the driver’s or
front passenger side,

z Toge ther with the side airbag system,
z Irrespective of seat occupancy

recognition,

z Ind ependently of the front airbag

sys tem .

When triggered, the curtain airbag inflates
in milliseconds to form a safety cushion in

the head area on the side of the vehicle
affected. This substantially reduces the risk

of injury to the head in the event of a side­on c ollision.

The re m u st be no obj ec ts i n the area i n
which the airbag inflates. Do not place

the hands or arms on the covers of the
airbag systems. Important information –

see page 92.

The thre e-point s eat be lt mu st alway s be
correctly fitted – see page 82.

The curtain airbags will not be triggered in
th e eve n t of

z the ignition is switched off,
z frontal collis ions,

z accidents in which the vehicle overturns,
z collisions involving a rear impact,

z collisions involving a side impact outside

the passenger cell.

88

Cont rol indica tor v for airb ag systems

The airbag systems are monitored
electronic ally together with seat

occupancy recognition 3 and the belt
tensioners. Their ope rational readiness is

shown by control indicator v in th e
instrument panel. When the ignition is

switched on, the control indicator lights up
for approx. 4 seconds. If it does not light

up, does not go out after 4 seconds or
lights up while driving, there is a fault in the

airbag systems, seat occu pancy
recognition 3 or the belt tensioners – see

page 8 1. The systems may fail to trigg er in
the event of an accident.

Have the cause of the fault remedied.
We recommend that you consult your

Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

The system’s integrated self-diagnostics
allow s faults to be quickly remedied. Have

Seat occup ancy recognition 3

The s eat occupa ncy recognition system
deactiv ates the front and side passenger

airbags if the front passenger seat is
unoccupied or a Vauxhall child restraint

sy st e m wi th tr an s p on d er s 3 has be en fitte d
to the front passe nger seat. The curtain

airbag system remains activated.

The control indicator for sea t occupancy
recognition is locate d in the courtesy light.

If this control indicator lights up afte r the
ignition is switched on for approx.

4 seconds, the vehicle is equipped with
seat occupancy recognition – s ee

Fig. 12097 S on page 90.

If a Vauxhall child restraint s ystem w ith
tra nsponders 3 is installed, this control

indicator remains on after the ignition has
been switched on as soon as the system

ha s detec ted the se at. Only then c an the
child restraint system be used on the

passenger seat.

In ad dition, vehicles with seat occupancy
recognition can be id entified by the sticker

on the front passenger seat.

Vauxhall child restraint s ystems with
transponders 3 are automatically

detected if correctly fitted to the front
passenger seat. When these child restraint

systems are being used on the front
passenger seat, the front and side airbag

sys tems for t h e fron t passe n ger seat are
deactivated. The curtain a irbag system

remains activated. Pay attention to the
seat occupancy re cognition 3 control

indicator – see page 90.

Child restraint systems 3

The V auxhall child restraint system is
designed specifically for your V auxhall and

thus provides optimum safety for y our child
in the event of impa ct. If a different child

safety seat is used, follow the
manufac turers’ instructions for fitting a nd

us e.

Selec tin g the rig ht system

Your child should be transported facing
backwards in the car as long as possible. It

is appropria te to change the system when
the child’s head can no longe r be p roperly

supported at eye height. The child’s neck is
still very weak and in an accident they

suffer less stress in the semi-prone
backwards position than w hen sitting

up rig ht .

Not e

z Children under 12 years or under 150 cm

tall should only trav el in an ap prop riate
child safety sea t.

z When transporting children, use the child

restraint system s suitable for the child’s
weight.

z Ensure that the child restraint system is

fitte d correctly.

z The covers of the Vauxhall child restraint

sy st e m can b e wi pe d cl e an .

z Do not stick any thing on the child

restraint systems and do not cover them
with any other materials.

z Only allow children to e nter and exit at

the side facing away from the traffic.
