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 a nd head
thereby substantially reduced.

Side airb ag system 3

Picture no: 18088s.tif

The side airbag system trigge rs 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 case of a side

impact.

Fault

If the central locking system cannot be
operated with the radio frequency remote

control, it may be due to the following:
z The range of the radio frequency remote

control has been exceeded.

z Remote control battery voltage is too

low. Battery replacement ­see right-hand column.

z F requ en t, repeated op eration of t he

radio frequency remote control outside
the reception range of the vehicle (e.g.

too far from vehicle, remote control is
then no longer recognised). Remote

control synchronisation - see next page.

z If the central locking system is

overloaded as a result of repeated
operation at short intervals. The power

supply is cut off for a brief period.

z Interference from higher-power radio

waves from other sources.

Notes on loading the vehicle

z Heavy objects in the load compartment

should be placed as far forward as
possible against the rear seat backrests

or, if the rear seat ba ckrests are folded
down, ag ainst the fro nt s eat back rests. If

objects are to be stacked, the heavier
objects should be placed at the bottom.

Unsecured objects in the load
compartment w ould be thrown forward

with grea t fo rce, for instance in the event
of heavy braking.

z Secure heavy objects with lashing

straps 3 a ttached to lashing eyes3 –
see page 69. If heavy loads slip when the

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

vehicle may change.

z When transporting objects with the

backrests folded d own, install the safety
net 3. See page 68.

z C lose the load compartment cover 3 so

that objects are not reflected in the rear
window.

z When transporting objects in the load

compa rtm ent with the seat backrests n ot
folded down, the backrests must be fully

upright and engaged in position. See
page 65.

z Do not a llow the load to protrude above

the upper e dge of the rear seat
backrests, or above the upper edge 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

z Do not place any objects in front of the

rear window or on the instrument panel.
Th ey are reflected in th e glass, obstruct

the driver’s view and will be thrown
through th e ve hicle , fo r in s ta nce in t h e

event of heavy braking.

z No objects must be placed in the area in

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

triggered.

z The load must not hinder handbrake

operation or gear shifting or im pair the
driver in any w ay.

z Do not drive with load compartment

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

could penetrate the interior.

z Weights, payload and roof load –

see page 202.

z Roof load s in cre ase the the vehic le’s

sensitivity to crosswinds and has a
negative affect on driveability due to an

raised centre of gravity.

z If objects are transported in the load

compartment, the split load com part­ment grille 3 m us t a lw a y s be loc k ed in

one of the retainers and the lever must
be engaged at its bottom position –

Three-stage safety system

Comprising:

z three-point seat belts
z belt tensioners at the front seats

z airbag sy stems for dri ver a nd fron t

passenger 3.

The th ree stag es are a ctivated in sequence
depending on the severity of the accident:

z The automa tic seat belt locking de vices

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

occupants are retained in their seats.

z The front seat belt buckles 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 v ery early

stage. This reduces the stress placed on
the body.

z The airbag systems are also triggered in

the event of severe accidents and form a
safety cushion for the occupants.

9 Warnin g

The airbag sy ste ms se rve to su ppl e m e nt
the three-point seat belts and belt

tensioners. The seat belts must therefore
always be worn. Disregard of these

instructions may lead to injuries or
endanger life. Vehicle passengers should

be informed accordingly.

Thoroughly read the instructions
accompanying the child restraint system !

belts, their anchorages, the automatic
retractors or the belt buckles.

Make sure that b elts are not damaged or
trapped by sharp-edged objects.

Three-point seat belts

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

locking devices, allowing fre edom of body
movement although the spring-tensioned

belts always ensure a snug fit.
Information on correct seating position -

see pages 63, 79, 83.
The belt has a "vehicle sensitive retractor"

which is designed to lock during heavy
acceleration or deceleration in any

direction.

77S afety systems

Belt tensioners

Th e front se at belts are equipped w ith be lt
tensioners. In the event of a head-on or

rear-e nd collision of a certain severity, the
buckles are pulled downwards, thereby

tightening the belts.

If the seat belts are undamaged the
operation thereof is unaffected, even if the

belt tensioners have been triggered.
Important information - see page 82.

Actuati on of belt te ns ioners

is indicated by illumination of control
indicator v, see next p age.

The belt tensioners must be replaced after
activation. We recommend that you

co nsult y our Va ux ha ll Authoris ed R ep airer.

78 Safety systems

Control indica tor v for be lt t ensione rs

The functionality of the belt tensioners is
electronically monitored together with the

airbag systems. Op erational readiness is
indicated by control indicator v in the

instrument panel. When the ignition is
switched on, the control indica tor

illuminates for approx. 4 seconds. If it
does not illuminate, does not go off within

4 seconds, or illuminates whilst driving,
there is a fault in the belt tensioner system

or the airbag systems – see page 86. The
belt tensioner or the airbag systems may

fail to trigger in the event of an a ccident.
Triggered be lt tensioners are indicated by

steady illumination of v .

9 Warning

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

Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

The system’s integrated self-diagnostics
allows faults to be quickly remedied. Hav e

yo ur Car P as s on ha nd wh en co ns ulting a
Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Imp or tant

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

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 make any modifications to the

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

9 Warning

Improper handling (e.g. removal or
installation) could cause the belt

tensioners to be triggered. Risk of injury!

z The belt tensioner and airbag sy stem

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

malfunctions, do not store magnetic
objects in this area.

z We recommend that you have the front

seats removed by a Vauxhall Authorised
Repairer.

z The belt tensioners only actuate once .

Please replace belt tensioners that have
been triggered. We recommend that you

consult your Vauxhall Authorised
Repairer.

z Applicable safety directives must always

be ob se rved when dis posing of the
vehicle. For this reason, disposal should

be performe d by an authorised recycling
company. We recommend that you

consult your Vauxhall Authorised
Repairer.

79S afety systems

Using the belts

Fitting seat bel ts

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

not twisted.
Insert latch plate into buckle. Backrest

must not be tilted too far back as this
would affect the operation of the seat

belts; re commended tilting angle
approx. 25°. The lap belt must be straight

and lie snugly against the body. Tighten
lap belt at frequent intervals whilst driving

by tugging diagonal part of belt.

9 Warning

O n pre gna nt w o me n i n part icular , the lap
belt must be positioned as low as

possible across the pelvis so as not to put
too much pressure on the abdomen.

Bulky clothing prevents the belt from fitting
properly. The be lt must not rest against

hard or fragile objects in the pockets of
your clothing (e.g. ballpoint pens , keys,

spectacles) because these could cause
injury. Do not place any objects (e.g.

handbags, mobile phones) between the
belt and your body.

Height adjustment

of front seat be lt upper anchorage points:

1. Pull belt out slightly.

2. Press belt guide - or - push button down.

3. Set desired height.

4. Allow to loc k audibly into p osition.
Do not adjust height while driving.

over the shoulder and rests against the

shoulder. It must not pass over the neck or
upper arm.

Removing the belt

To remove the belt, depress the red
pushbutton on the buckle; the belt will

retract automatically.

Vauxhall Full Size airbag system

The Vauxhall Full Size airbag system
comprises several individual systems.

81S afety systems

Fro nt a irbag sys tem 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 sy stem triggers when a
side-on collision occurs and provides a

safety barrier for th e driver a nd/or
passenger in the respective front door

area. This reduces the risk of injury to the
upper body considerably in case of a side

impact.

82 Safety systems

Examples of events triggering the front
airbag system:

z Impact against a non-yielding obstacle:

the front airbags are triggered at low
vehicle s peed.

z Impact against a yielding obstacle:

(such as another vehicle): the front
airbags are only triggered at a hig her

vehicle s peed.

Front airb ag

Th e front airbag system is identified by the
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 electronics with impact

se ns or,

z the airbag systems control indicator v in

the instrument panel.

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

accident

z depending on the type of impact
z within the range shown in the illustration

z independently of the side airb ag

system 3.

83S afety systems

When triggered, the front airbags inflate in
milliseconds to form a safety cushion for

th e d riv er an d front passenger. The
forward movement of the front seat

occupants is checked, thereby
substantially reducing the risk of injury to

the upp er body and head.
No im pairment of view will occur, because

the airbags inflate and deflate so quickly
that it is often not even noticed in an

accident.

9 Warning

The front airbag system provides
optimum protection when the seat,

backrest and head restraint are properly
positioned: Adjust the driver’s seat

suitably to occupant’s height so that
when the driver is sitting upright, the

steering wheel is held in the area of its
uppe r sp okes with the d riv er’s arms

slightly be nt. The passenger seat should
be slid back as far as possible with the

backrest upright (se e page 63). 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. Im portant
information – see page 78.

9 Warnin g

The three-point seat belt must be
correctly fitted – see page 79.

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

z the ignition is switched off
z minor frontal collisions

z accide nts in which the vehicle overtu rns
z collisions involving a side or rear impac t

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

84 Safety systems

9 Wa rning

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

supplement the three-point seat belts. If
you do not wear your seat be lt you ris k

being seriously injured, or even thrown
from the vehic le, in the event of an

accident.
In the event of an accident the belt helps

to keep you in the correct seating
position, so tha t the front airbag system

can provide you with effective protection.

Side airb ag 3

The side airbag system is identified by the
word AIRBAG on the outboard 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 seat
respectively

z the control electronics
z t h e side impact sensors

z the airbag systems control indicator v in

the instrument panel.

The side airbag sy stem will be trigge red:
z depending on the severity of the

accident

z depending on the type of impact
z within the range shown in the illustration

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

z independently of the front airbag

sy ste m.

85S afety systems

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

th e d riv er or fron t passenger in th e
respective door area. This substantially

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

9 Warning

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

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

the covers of the airbag systems.
Important information – see page 87.

The three-point seat b elt must alw ays be
correctly fitted – see page 79.

The side airbags will not be triggered in the
eventof

z the ignition is switched off
z frontal collisions

z accide nts in which the vehicle overtu rns
z collisions involving a rear impact

z collisions involving a side impact outside

the passenger cell.

86 Safety systems

Control indica tor v for airbag systems

The functiona lity of the airbag systems is
electronically monitored together with the
