Vauxhall Full Siz e ai rbag system

The Vauxhall Full Size airbag system
consists of se veral inte rna l systems .

Front airbag system 3

The front airbag system will be triggered in
the event of a serious accident involving a

frontal impact and f orms 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 uppe r body and head
thereby substantially reduced.

Side airbag system 3

The side airbag sy stem t rigg er s when
a side-on collision occurs and provides

a safety barrier for the d river and/or
passenger in the respective front door

area. Th i s reduces the risk of injury to the
u pper body considerably in case of a

side-impact.

Diesel particle filter 3

The diesel p artic le filter sys tem remo ves
poll uting soot particles out of the engin e

exhaust gases. The system includes a self­cleaning function that opera te s

automatically while driving. The filter is
cleaned by burning the trapped soot

particles at a high temperature. There may
be an increase in fuel consumption,

exhaust sm ell, and engine cooling fan
op eration 3 during the self-cleaning

op eration.
T he self-cleaning fu nction can not operate

automatically during certain driving
sit uations wh ere the engine does not r each

its normal operating temperature. An
example of this would be driving only short

di st an c e s in col d wea th e r .

17In Brief

If the fi lter needs clean ing and recent
driving situations did not allow the function

to operate automatica ll y, then the control
indicator ! will flash. If this occurs, then

you may cont inue to d r iv e the vehicle
normally. The vehicle will not be damaged

and does not require service.
The self-cleaning function will operate

automat ically while driving after the
engine has reached its normal operating

temperature. The c ontrol indicator ! will
continue to flash until the self-cleaning

operation is complete. This may t ake up to
20 minutes of driving. T he tim e w ill be

shorter at higher vehicle speeds .
