Airbag system

The airbag system consists of a number of
individual systems.

Front airbag system

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

a fro ntal im pact and forms s afety cush ions
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 airbag system 3

The side airbag is triggered in the event of
a side-on collision to form a safety cushion

for the driver or front passenger in the
respective door area. This substantially

reduces the risk of injury to the upper body
and pelvis.

Curtain airbag system 3

The curtain airbag system triggers in case
of a side-on collision and provides a safety

barrier in the head area on the respective
side of the vehicle. This reduces the risk of

injury to the head considerably in case of a
side-on collision.

Active head restraints 3 on front
seats

In the event of a rear-end impa ct, the
active head restraints tilt forwards slightly.

Th e head is more effectiv ely suppor ted by
the head restraint and the risk 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 sleeves.

Tyre pressure loss monitoring
system (DDS = Deflation

Detection System)

The Deflation Detection System
continuously monitors the speed of all

wheels whilst driving. If a tyre loses
pressure, it becomes smaller and therefore

rotates more quickly than the other wheels.
If the system detects a difference in speed,

the control indicator w illuminates in red.

Floor covering 3 in luggage
compartment

When the third row of seats is not in use
and are –folded away– a cover can be

placed over the luggage compartment
floor.

Notes on loading the vehicle

z Heavy objects in the luggag e

compa rtment should be placed against
the engaged rear seat backrests or, if the

rear seat backrests are folded down,
against the front seat ba ckrests. If

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

Unsecured objects in the luggag e
compartment would be thrown forwards

with great force in the event of heavy
braking, for example.

z Secure heavy objects with lashing

straps 3 attached to lashing eyes –
see page 60. If heavy loads slip when

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

vehicle may change.

z Secure loose articles in luggage

compartment using FlexOrganizer 3 or
luggage net 3 to prevent sliding.

z When transporting objects in the

luggage compartment, fit safety net 3 –
see page 58.

z Close the luggage compartment cover 3

to prevent the objects from being
reflected in the rear window.

z If the b ackrests are n ot folde d down

when transporting objects in the
luggage compartment, they must b e

engaged in their upright position –
see page 56.

z Do not allow the load to protrude above

the upper edge of the backrests of the
se ats in the se cond r o w or, if th e se cond

row seats have been removed, above the
upper edge of the front seat backrests.

z The warning triangle 3 and first-aid kit

(cushion) 3 must always be free ly
accessible.

z Do not place any objects on the luggage

compartment cover 3 and on the
instr umen t pa nel. They are reflected in

the glass, obstruct the driver’s view and
will be thrown through the vehicle in the

event of hard braking, for example.

z Obje cts m ust not be store d in t h e a irb ag

inflation area, because they could cause
injury if the airbag system is triggered.

z The load must not obstruct the operation

of the pedals, handbrake and gear
selector, or hinder the freedom of

move ment of the driver. Do not place
any unsecured objects in the interior.

63Seats, Interior

z Do not drive with luggage compartment

open wh en transporting bu lky objects,
for example, since toxic exhaust fumes

could penetrate the interior.

z Weights, payload a nd roof load –

see page 217.

z Driving with a roof load increases the

sensitivity of the vehicle to crosswinds
and has a detrimental effect on vehicle

handling due to the vehicle’s higher
centre of g ravity. For driving with a roof

load – see pages 142, 144, 164.

Three-stage restraint system

Com prising:

z Three-point seat belts,
z Belt tensioners at the front seats,
z Airbag systems for driver ’ s sea t, f ront

passenger’s seat and the outboard seats
of the second row of seats 3.

The three stages are activated in sequence
depending on the seriousness of the

accident:

z The automatic seat belt locking devices

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

occupants are retained in their seats.

z The front seat belts are pulled down at

the belt buckles. This means the belts fit
snugly, the occupants are decelerated

early with the vehicle and the body
loading is reduced.

z The airbag systems are 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.

Depending on the severity of the
accident, the front airbags inflate in two

stages.

9 Warning

The airbag systems serve to supplement
the three-point seat belts and belt

tensioners. The seat belts must therefore
alway s be w orn. Disreg ard of these

instructions may lead to injuries or
e nd ang er li fe . V ehi cle p as se n ger s m u st be

informed accordingly .

Read the instructions supplied with the
child restraint system!

Three-point seat belts

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

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

belts always ensure a snug fit.
For information on correct seating

position – see pages 50, 65, 70.
Th e belts are loc ked during heavy

acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle.

9 Wa rn ing

Alw ays we ar your seat belt, and that
means also in urban traffic and when you

are a rear seat passenger. It can save
your life!

Also, pregnant women must always wear
a seat belt – see page 65.

64 Seats, Interior

In the event of an accident, persons not
wearing seat belts endanger their fellow

occupants and themselves.
Control indicator X 3 for the seat belt –

see page 84.
Seat belts are only designed for use by one

person at a time. They are not suitable for
persons younger than 12 years of age or

smaller than 150 cm.
For childre n up to 1 2 yea rs of ag e, w e

recommend the Vauxhall child restraint
system – see page 68.

Belt f orce limiters

Belt force limiters on the front seats reduce
the body load due to damped release of

the belt on a collision. This means that the
occupants move forwards under control.

Inspection of belts

Check all parts of the belt system
occasionally for damage and function.

Replace damaged parts. Following an
accident, have the belts and deployed belt

tensioners replaced by a workshop.
Do not perform a ny alterations on the

be lts, the ir anch orages , the au tom atic
retractors or the belt buckles.

Make sure that belts are not dam aged or
trapped by sharp-edged objects.

Belt tensioners

The front seat belts are fitted with belt
tensioners. The seat belts are pulled down

at the buck les on a front or rear-impac t
above a certain severity. This tightens the

belts.

Actuation o f be lt t ens ion ers

Actuation of belt tensioners is indicated by
illumination of control indica tor v, see

Fig. 17105 T.
If the belt tensioners are deployed, these

must be replaced by a workshop.

Child restraint systems 3

When using a child restraint system, note
the instructions for installation and use.

The country in which you are travelling
may not permit the use of child restraint

sy st e ms on certa in seats. A lway s c om ply
with the local or national regulations.

Selec ting th e right s yste m

Your child should travel facing backwards
in the vehicle for as long as possible. A child

has a v ery weak cervical spinal column and
in the event of an ac cident is less likely to

suffer injury in a rearward-facing, semi­lying position than if seated upright.

Permitted options for child restraint
mounting – see page 228.

9 Warning

Never carry child restraint systems on
your lap, risk of fatal injury.

Note

z C hil dre n un der 1 2 ye ars or un de r 1 50 c m

tall should only travel in an appropriate
child safety seat.

z When transporting children, use the child

restraint systems suitable for the child’s
weight.

z Ensure corre ct installation of child

restra int syste m, se e th e instruct ions
enclosed with the system.

z The covers of the Vauxhall child restraint

system can be wiped clean.

z Do not stick anything on the child

restraint systems and do not cover them

Airbag system

Front airbag

The front airbag system is identified by the
word AIRBAG on the steering wheel and

above the glove compartment.
The front airbag system comprises:

z an airbag with inflator in the steering

wheel and a second one behind the trim
panel above the glove compartment,

z control electronics with impact sensors,
z control indicator for airb ag systems v in

instrument cluster,

z seat occupancy recognition 3,
z the control indicator for Vauxhall child

restraint systems y with transponders 3
in the instrum ent cluster.

The front airbag system is triggered:
z depending on the severity of the

accident,

z depending on the type of impact,
z within the range shown in the illustration,
z independent of side airbag 3 and

curtain airbag system 3.

Exception:
Front passenger’s seat with seat

occupancy recognition system 3. The seat
occupancy recognition system deactivates

the front and side airbags 3 on th e
passenger’s side if the front passenger’s

seat is unoccupied or a Vauxhall child
restraint system w ith transponders 3 has

been fitted to the front passenger’s seat.
For seat occupancy recognition – see

page 74. For Vauxhall child restraint
system with transponders 3 – see p age 77.

70 Seats, Interior

Examples of events triggering the front
airbag system:

z Impact a gainst a non-yielding obstacle:

the front airbags are triggered at low
vehicle speed.

z Impact against a yielding obstacle (such

as another vehicle): the front airbags are
only triggered at a higher vehicle speed.

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

th e d riv er an d fron t passenger. Th e
forward movement of the front seat

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

the upp er body and hea d. No impairme nt
of view will occur, because the airbags

inflate and deflate so quickly.

9 Warning

The front airbag system provides
optimum protection when the seat,

backrest and head restraint are correctly
adju s ted: A djust the driver’s seat

according to the occupant’s height such
that with the driver sitting upright the

steering wheel is held in the area of its
upper sp okes with the d riv er’s ar ms

slight ly be nt. The fro nt p as se ng er’s s eat
should be as far back as possible, with the

backrest upright – see pages 3, 49, 50.
Do not place the head, body, hands or

fee t on th e c overs of the airbag systems.
Do not place any objects in the area in

which the airb ags inflate. Important
information – see page 75.

9 Wa rn ing

The three-point seat belt must be
correctly fitted – see page 65.

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

z the ignition being switched off,
z minor frontal collisions,
z accidents in which the vehicle overturns,
z collisions involving a side or rear-impact,

71Seats, Interior

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

9 Warning

Seat belts must a lw ays be worn. The front
airbag system serves to supplement the

three-point seat belts. If you do not wear
yo ur se at be lt you risk bein g se riou sly

inju red, or ev en thro wn from th e v ehicle,
in th e ev ent of an acc ident.

If an accident occurs the belt he lps to
maintain the correct seat position that is

required for the front airbag system to
provide y ou with effective protection.

In addition, the front airbag system will
not be triggered for the front passenger’s

seat in v ersions with seat occupancy
recognition 3 if

z the front passenger’s seat is unoccupied,
z there is a prop erly fitted Vauxhall child

restraint system with transponders. For
seat occupancy recognition – see

page 74. For Vauxhall child restraint
system with transponders – see page 77.

Side airbags 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’s seat
respectively,

z the control electro nics,
z the side-impact sensors,
z control indicator for airb ag systems v in

instrument cluster,

z seat occupancy recognition 3,
z the control indicator for Vauxhall child

restraint systems y with transponders 3
in the instrum ent cluster.

The side airbag system is triggered:
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’s side,

z independently of the front airbag

sy ste m.

72 Seats, Interior

Ex cep tion :
Front pa ssenger’s seat with seat

occupancy recognition system 3. The seat
occupancy recognition system deactivates

the front and side airbags 3 on the front
passenger’s side if the front passenger’s

seat is unoccupied or a Vauxhall child
restraint system with transponders has

been fitted to the front passenger’s seat.
For seat occupancy recognition – see

page 74. For Vauxhall child restraint
system with transponders – see page77.

When triggered, the side airbag inflates
within milliseconds to form a safety cushion

for the driver or front passenger in the
respective door area. This substantially

reduces the risk of injury to the upper body
and pelvis in the event of a side-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 75.

The three-point seat belt must always be
correctly fitted – see page 65.

The side airbags will not be triggered in the
eve nt of

z the ignition being switched off,
z frontal collisions,
z accidents in which the vehicle overturns,
z collisions involving a rear-impact,
z Sid e-on collisions outside the passenger

cell.

In addition, the side airbag system3 will
not be triggered for the front passenger’s

seat in versions with seat occupancy
recognition 3 if

z th e f ront pas seng er’s s eat is un occupied,
z there is a properly fitted Vauxhall child

restraint system with transponders.
For seat occupancy recognition – see

Curtain airbag 3

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

The curtain airbag system comprises:
z an airbag with inflator in the roof frame

on the driver’s and front passenger’s side
respectively,

z the control electronics,
z the side-impact sensors,
z control indicator for airbag systems v in

instrument cluster.

73Seats, Interior

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

z the ignition being switched off,
z frontal collisions,
z accidents in which the vehicle overturns,
z collisions involving a rear-impact,
z Side-on c ollisions outside the passenger

cell.

Co ntrol indi cator v fo r airbag
sys tem s

The curtain airbag system is triggered:
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’s side,

z together with the side airbag system 3,
z irrespective of seat occupancy

re c og ni t ion 3,

z independently of the front airbag

sys tem .

When the curtain airbag is triggered it
inflates within milliseconds and provides a

safety barrier in the head area on the
respective side of the vehicle. This reduces

the risk of injury to the head considerably in
case of a side-impact.

The curtain airbag system does not protect
persons in the seats in the third row of

se ats.

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

If handled improperly the airbag systems
can be triggered in an explosive manner –

risk of injury!

z We recommend having the steering

whe el, the ins trumen t pane l, all pan elling
parts, the door seals, the handles and

th e seats re move d by a works h o p.

z When disposing of the vehicle, the safety

regulations applicable to this must be
observed. Have the vehicle disposed of

by a company which reuses vehicle
parts.

z Persons weighing less than 35 kg should

only travel on the rear seats. This does
not apply to children who are travelling

in child restraint systems with
transponders 3.

z In v ehicles with seat occupancy

recognition 3, do not place any heavy
objects on the front passenger’s seat

otherwise the airbag systems for the
front passenger’s seat may be triggered

in th e event of an accident.

z In v ehicles with seat occupancy

recognition 3, to prevent malfunctions
do not use protective c overs or e xtra seat

cushions on the front passenger’s seat.

z In order to prevent malfunctions when

using a Vauxhall child restraint system
with transponders 3 on the front

passenger’s seat, no objects (e.g. plastic
sheet, stickers or heated mats) may be

placed under the child restraint system.

9 Wa rn ing

Child restraint systems as well as other
objects must never be carried on the lap

of pass e ngers; risk of fatal in jury . If
carried in this way, child restraint systems

with transponders 3 in vehicles w ith seat
occupancy recognition 3 could lead to

front passenger’s airbag systems not
being triggered in the event of an

accident.
