is indicated by symbols X in the Driver

Information Centre 3 83.

Belt force limiters

On the front seats and the rear

outboard seats, stress on the body is

reduced by the gradual release of the

belt during a collision.

Belt pretensioners

In the event of a head-on or rear-end

collision of a certain severity, the front

seat belts are tightened.

9 Warning

Incorrect handling (e.g. removal or

fitting of belts) can trigger the belt

pretensioners.

Deployment of the belt pretensioners

is indicated by continuous illumination

of control indicator v 3 78.
Triggered belt pretensioners must be

replaced by a workshop. Belt

pretensioners can only be triggered

once.

Note

Do not affix or install accessories or

other objects that may interfere with

the operation of the belt

pretensioners. Do not make any

modifications to belt pretensioner

components as this will invalidate

the operating permit of your vehicle.

Using the seat belt while pregnant

9 Warning

The lap belt must be positioned as

low as possible across the pelvis

to prevent pressure on the

abdomen.

Airbag system

The airbag system consists of a

number of individual systems

depending on the scope of

equipment.
When triggered, the airbags inflate

within milliseconds. They also deflate

so quickly that it is often unnoticeable

during the collision.

9 Warning

The airbag system deploys in an

explosive manner, repairs must be

performed by skilled personnel

only.

9 Warning

Adding accessories that change

the vehicle's frame, bumper

system, height, front end or side

sheet metal, may keep the airbag

system from working properly. The

operation of the airbag system can

also be affected by changing any

parts of the front seats, seat belts,

airbag sensing and diagnostic

module, steering wheel,

instrument panel, inner door seals

including the speakers, any of the

airbag modules, ceiling or pillar

trim, front sensors, side impact

sensors or airbag wiring.

Note

The airbag systems and belt

pretensioner control electronics are

located in the centre console area.

Do not put any magnetic objects in

this area.
Do not affix any objects onto the

airbag covers and do not cover them

with other materials. Have damaged

covers replaced by a workshop.
Each airbag is triggered only once.

Have deployed airbags replaced by

a workshop. Furthermore, it may be

necessary to have the steering

wheel, the instrument panel, parts of

the panelling, the door seals,

handles and the seats replaced.
Do not make any modifications to

the airbag system as this will

invalidate the vehicle operating

permit.

Beyond the warning required by

ECE R94.02, for safety reasons a

forward-facing child restraint system

must only be used subject to the

instructions and restrictions in the

tables 3 52.

The airbag label is located on both

sides of the front passenger sun visor.
Airbag deactivation 3 47.

Front airbag system

The front airbag system consists of

one airbag in the steering wheel and

one in the instrument panel on the

front passenger side. The location is

identified by the word AIRBAG.

The front airbag system is triggered in

the event of a front-end impact of a

certain severity. The ignition must be

switched on.

46

Seats, restraints

The inflated airbags cushion the

impact, thereby reducing the risk of

injury to the upper body and head of

the front seat occupants

considerably.

9 Warning

Optimum protection is only

provided when the seat is in the

proper position.
Seat position 3 35.
Keep the area in which the airbag

inflates clear of obstructions.

Fit the seat belt correctly and

engage securely. Only then is the

airbag able to protect.

Side airbag system

The side airbag system consists of an

airbag in each front seat backrest.

The location is identified by the word

AIRBAG.
The side airbag system is triggered in

the event of a side impact of a certain

severity. The ignition must be

switched on.

The inflated airbags cushion the

impact, thereby reducing the risk of

injury to the upper body and pelvis in

the event of a side-on collision

considerably.

9 Warning

Keep the area in which the airbag

inflates clear of obstructions.

Note

Only use protective seat covers that

have been approved for the vehicle.

Be careful not to cover the airbags.

Seats, restraints

47

Curtain airbag system

The curtain airbag system consists of

an airbag in the roof frame on each

side. The location is identified by the

word AIRBAG on the roof pillars.
The curtain airbag system is triggered

in the event of a side-on impact of a

certain severity. The ignition must be

switched on.

The inflated airbags cushion the

impact, thereby reducing the risk of

injury to the head in the event of a

side-on impact considerably.

9 Warning

Keep the area in which the airbag

inflates clear of obstructions.
The hooks on the handles in the

roof frame are only suitable for

hanging up light articles of

clothing, without coat hangers. Do

not keep any items in these

clothes.

Airbag deactivation

The front passenger airbag system

must be deactivated for a child

restraint system on the passenger

seat according to the instructions in

the tables 3 52.
The other airbag systems, the belt

pretensioners and all driver airbag

systems will remain active.

The front passenger airbag system

can be deactivated via a key-

operated switch on the passenger

side of the instrument panel.
Use the ignition key to choose the

switch position:
*OFF : front passenger airbag is

deactivated and will not

inflate in the event of a

collision. Control indicator

*OFF illuminates

continuously in the centre

console

V

ON : front passenger airbag is

active

48

Seats, restraints

9 Danger

Deactivate passenger airbag only

in combination with the use of a

child restraint system, subject to

the instructions and restrictions in

the tables 3 52.
Otherwise, there is a risk of fatal

injury for a person occupying a

seat with a deactivated front

passenger airbag.

If control indicator V illuminates for

approx. 60 seconds after the ignition

is switched on, the front passenger

airbag system will inflate in the event

of a collision.

If both control indicators are

illuminated at the same time, there is

a system failure. The status of the

system is not discernible, therefore

no person is allowed to occupy the

front passenger seat. Contact a

workshop immediately.
Change status only when the vehicle

is stopped with the ignition off.
Status remains until the next change.
Control indicator for airbag

deactivation 3 79.

Child restraints

Child restraint systems

9 Danger

If using a rear-facing child restraint

system on the front passenger

seat, the airbag system for the

front passenger seat must be

deactivated. This also applies to

certain forward-facing child

restraint systems as indicated in

the tables 3 52.

Airbag deactivation 3 47.
Airbag label 3 42.
We recommend a child restraint

system which is tailored specifically to

the vehicle. For further information,

contact your workshop.
When a child restraint system is being

used, pay attention to the following

usage and installation instructions

and also those supplied with the child

restraint system.

Seats, restraints

49

Always comply with local or national

regulations. In some countries, the

use of child restraint systems is

forbidden on certain seats.
Child restraint systems can be

fastened with:

● Three-point seat belt
● ISOFIX brackets
● Top-tether anchors

Three-point seat belt

Child restraint systems can be

fastened by using a three-point seat

belt. After fastening the child restraint

system the seat belt has to be

tightened 3 52.

ISOFIX brackets

On rear seats

Fasten vehicle-approved ISOFIX

child restraint systems to the ISOFIX

mounting brackets. Specific vehicle

ISOFIX child restraint system

positions are marked in the table by IL

3

 52.

The vehicle is equipped with guides in

the backrests to support the

installation of the child restraint

system.
ISOFIX mounting brackets on the

rear seats are indicated by the

ISOFIX logo on the backrest.

Open the flaps of the guides before

mounting a child restraint system.

After removing the child restraint

system, close the flaps.

On front passenger seat

Place the child restraint system in the

centre of the seat and push

backwards. Make sure that the child

restraint system is engaged properly.

Top-tether anchors

On rear seats

Top-tether anchors are marked with

the symbol : for a child seat.

50

Seats, restraints

In addition to the ISOFIX mounting

brackets, fasten the Top-tether strap

to the Top-tether anchors.
ISOFIX child restraint systems of

universal category positions are

marked in the table by IUF 3 52.

On front passenger seat

An additional fastening point is

located on the passenger seat rail in

the rear foot well.

Selecting the right system

The rear seats are the most

convenient location to fasten a child

restraint system.
Children should travel facing

rearwards in the vehicle as long as

possible. This ensures that the child's

backbone, which is still very weak, is

under less strain in the event of an

accident.
Suitable are restraint systems that

comply with valid UN ECE

regulations. Check local laws and

regulations for mandatory use of child

restraint systems.

Ensure that the child restraint system

to be installed is compatible with the

vehicle type.
Refer to the tables on the following

pages, the instructions supplied with

the child restraint system and the

vehicle type list of non-universal child

restraint systems.
The following child restraints are

recommended for the following

weight classes:

● Group 0, Group 0+

Maxi Cosi Cabriofix plus Easyfix,

for children up to 13 kg

● Group I

OPEL Duo, for children from

13 kg to 18 kg in this group

Ensure that the mounting location of

the child restraint system within the

vehicle is correct, see following

tables.
Allow children to enter and exit the

vehicle only on the side facing away

from the traffic.
When the child restraint system is not

in use, secure the seat with a seat belt

or remove it from the vehicle.
