Opel Zafira Tourer (2019 year). Manual - part 4

54

Seats, restraints

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.

Curtain airbag system

The curtain airbag system consists of

an airbag in the roof frame on each

side. This can be 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.
The curtain airbag system does not

protect passengers on the third seat

row.

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

has to be deactivated if a child

restraint system is to be fitted on this

seat. The side airbag and curtain

airbag systems, the belt

pretensioners and all driver airbag

systems will remain active.

Seats, restraints

55

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

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. A child restraint

system can be installed in

accordance with the chart

Child restraint installation

locations 3 59. No adult

person is allowed to occupy

the front passenger seat

ONV : front passenger airbag is

active. A child restraint

system must not be

installed

9 Danger

Risk of fatal injury for a child using

a child restraint system on a seat

with activated front passenger

airbag.
Risk of fatal injury for an adult

person on a seat with deactivated

front passenger airbag.

If the control indicator ONV

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.

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 59.

We recommend a child restraint

system which is tailored specifically to

the vehicle. For further information,

contact your workshop.
Before fastening a child seat adjust

the head restraint to use position

3

 36.

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.
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

Three-point seat belt

Child restraint systems can be

fastened by using a three-point seat

belt. Depending on the size of the

used child restraint systems, up to

two child restraint systems can be

attached to the outboard seats in the

second row and on the seats in the

third row. After fastening the child

restraint system the seat belt has to

be tightened 3 59.

Seats, restraints

57

ISOFIX brackets

Fasten vehicle-approved ISOFIX

child restraint systems to the ISOFIX

brackets. Specific vehicle ISOFIX

child restraint system positions are

marked in the ISOFIX table 3 59.
ISOFIX brackets are indicated by a

label on the backrest.

When using ISOFIX fastened child

restraint systems on the second seat

row, we recommend to adjust the

accordant outer seat in third notch

from rear end position, regarding to

base seats. Lounge seat, if equipped,

must be in normal position 3 42.
An i-size child restraint system is an

universal ISOFIX child restraint

system according UN Regulation No.

129.
All i-size child restraint systems can

be used on any vehicle seat suitable

for i-size, i-size table 3 59.
Either a Top-tether strap or a support

leg must be used in addition to the

ISOFIX brackets.

i-size child seats and vehicle seats

with i-size approval are marked with

i-size symbol, see illustration.

Top-tether anchors

Top-tether anchors are marked with

the symbol : for a child seat.

In addition to the ISOFIX brackets,

fasten the Top-tether strap to the

Top-tether anchors.

58

Seats, restraints

ISOFIX child restraint systems of

universal category positions are

marked in the table by IUF 3 59.

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 makes sure that the

child's backbone, which is still very

weak, is under less strain in the event

of an accident.
Suitable are child restraint systems

that comply with valid UN ECE

regulations. Check local laws and

regulations for mandatory use of child

restraint systems.
The following child restraints are

recommended for the following

weight classes:
Maxi Cosi Cabriofix for children up to

13 kg for group 0, group 0+ and Duo

Plus for children from 13 kg to 18 kg

in group I.

Ensure that the child restraint system

to be installed is compatible with the

vehicle type.
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.

Note

Do not affix anything on the child

restraint systems and do not cover

them with any other materials.
A child restraint system which has

been subjected to stress in an

accident must be replaced.
