23In brief
Vauxhall Full-size airbag system
The Vauxhall Full-size airbag system comprises several individual systems.
Front airbag system 3
The front airbag system will be triggered in the event of a serious accident involving a frontal impact and forms safety cushions for the driver and front passenger. The forward movement of the driver and front passenger is checked and the risk of injuries to the upper body and head thereby substantially reduced.
Side airbag system 3
The side airbag system triggers when a side-on collision occurs and provides a safety barrier for the driver and/or passenger in the respective front door area. This reduces the risk of injury to the upper body considerably in the event of a side-impact.
6 Further information – see page 82.
Active head restraints 3
In the event of a rear-end impact, the active head restraints automatically tilt forward a little. The head is more effectively supported by the head restraint and the danger of injuries caused by whiplash in the neck area is reduced.
Active head restraints are identified by the lettering ACTIVE on the head restraint guide bushes.
