Seat belts are designed to be used byonly one person at a time. Childrestraint system 3 57.Periodically check all parts of the beltsystem for damage, pollution andproper functionality.Have damaged componentsreplaced. After an accident, have thebelts and triggered belt pretensionersreplaced by a workshop.NoteMake sure that the belts are notdamaged by shoes or sharp-edgedobjects or trapped. Prevent dirt fromgetting into the belt retractors.

Seat belt reminderEach seat is equipped with a seat beltreminder, indicated for front seats bycontrol indicators X and k, or for rearseats by the symbol X in the DriverInformation Centre 3 92.

Belt force limitersStress on the body is reduced by thegradual release of the belt during acollision.


Belt pretensionersIn the event of a head-on or rear-endcollision of a certain severity, the frontseat belts are tightened.

9 Warning

Incorrect handling (e.g. removal orfitting of belts) can trigger the beltpretensioners.

Deployment of the belt pretensionersis indicated by continuous illuminationof control indicator v 3 92.Triggered belt pretensioners must bereplaced by a workshop. Beltpretensioners can only be triggeredonce.NoteDo not affix or install accessories orother objects that may interfere withthe operation of the beltpretensioners. Do not make anymodifications to belt pretensionercomponents as this will invalidatethe vehicle type approval.

Airbag systemThe airbag system consists of anumber of individual systemsdepending on the scope ofequipment.When triggered the airbags inflatewithin milliseconds. They also deflateso quickly that it is often unnoticeableduring the collision.

9 Warning

If handled improperly the airbagsystems can be triggered in anexplosive manner.

NoteThe airbag systems and beltpretensioner control electronics arelocated in the centre console area.Do not put any magnetic objects inthis area.Do not stick anything on the airbagcovers and do not cover them withother materials.


Each airbag is triggered only once.Have deployed airbags replaced bya workshop. Furthermore, it might benecessary to have the steeringwheel, the instrument panel, parts ofthe panelling, the door seals,handles and the seats replaced.Do not make any modifications tothe airbag system as this willinvalidate the vehicle type approval.

When the airbags inflate, escapinghot gases may cause burns.Control indicator v for airbag systems3 92.

Front airbag systemThe front airbag system consists ofone airbag in the steering wheel andone in the instrument panel on thefront passenger side. These can beidentified by the word AIRBAG.

Additionally there is a warning labelon the side of the instrument panel,visible when the front passenger dooris open, or on the front passenger sunvisor.The front airbag system is triggered inthe event of a front-end impact of acertain severity. The ignition must beswitched on.

The inflated airbags cushion theimpact, thereby reducing the risk ofinjury to the upper body and head ofthe front seat occupantsconsiderably.

9 Warning

Optimum protection is onlyprovided when the seat is in theproper position 3 44.Keep the area in which the airbaginflates clear of obstructions.


Fit the seat belt correctly andengage securely. Only then theairbag is able to protect.

Side airbag system

The side airbag system consists of anairbag in each front seat backrest andin the rear outboard seat backrests.This can be identified by the wordAIRBAG.The side airbag system is triggered inthe event of a side impact of a certainseverity. The ignition needs to beswitched on.

The inflated airbags cushion theimpact, thereby reducing the risk ofinjury to the upper body and pelvis inthe event of a side-on collisionconsiderably.

9 Warning

Keep the area in which the airbaginflates clear of obstructions.

NoteOnly use protective seat covers thathave been approved for the vehicle.Be careful not to cover the airbags.

Curtain airbag systemThe curtain airbag system consists ofan airbag in the roof frame on eachside. This can be identified by theword AIRBAG on the roof pillars.The curtain airbag system is triggeredin the event of a side-on impact of acertain severity. The ignition needs tobe switched on.

The inflated airbags cushion theimpact, thereby reducing the risk ofinjury to the head in the event of aside-on impact considerably.


9 Warning

Keep the area in which the airbaginflates clear of obstructions.The hooks on the handles in theroof frame are only suitable forhanging up light articles ofclothing, without coat hangers. Donot keep any items in theseclothes.

Airbag deactivationFront airbag and side airbag systemsfor the front passenger seat must bedeactivated if a child restraint systemis to be fitted on this seat. The curtainairbag system, the belt pretensionersand all driver airbag systems willremain active.

The front passenger airbag systemcan be deactivated via a key-operated switch on the right side ofthe instrument panel.

Use the ignition key to choose theposition:* = front passenger airbags are

deactivated and will not inflatein the event of a collision.Control indicator * illuminatescontinuously. A child restraintsystem can be installed inaccordance with the chartChild restraint installationlocations 3 59. No adultperson is allowed to occupythe front passenger seat.

V = front passenger airbags areactive. A child restraint systemmust not be installed.

9 Danger

Risk of fatal injury for a child usinga child restraint system on a seatwith activated front passengerairbag.Risk of fatal injury for an adultperson on a seat with deactivatedfront passenger airbag.


As long as the control indicator * isnot illuminated, the airbag systemsfor the front passenger seat will inflatein the event of a collision.If both control indicators areilluminated at the same time, there isa system failure. The status of thesystem is not discernible, thereforeno person is allowed to occupy thefront passenger seat. Contact aworkshop immediately.Consult a workshop immediately ifneither of the two control indicators isilluminated.Change status only when the vehicleis stopped with the ignition off.

Status remains until the next change.Control indicator for airbagdeactivation 3 93.

Child restraintsChild restraint systemsWe recommend the Opel childrestraint system which is tailoredspecifically to the vehicle.When a child restraint system is beingused, pay attention to the followingusage and installation instructionsand also those supplied with the childrestraint system.Always comply with local or nationalregulations. In some countries, theuse of child restraint systems isforbidden on certain seats.

9 Danger

When using a child restraintsystem on the front passengerseat, the airbag systems for thefront passenger seat must be


deactivated; if not, the triggering ofthe airbags poses a risk of fatalinjury to the child.This is especially the case if rear-facing child restraint systems areused on the front passenger seat.

Selecting the right systemThe rear seats are the mostconvenient location to fasten a childrestraint system.Children should travel facingrearwards in the vehicle as long aspossible. This makes sure that thechild's backbone, which is still veryweak, is under less strain in the eventof an accident.Suitable are restraint systems thatcomply with ECE 44-03 orECE 44-04. Check local laws andregulations for mandatory use of childrestraint systems.Ensure that the child restraint systemto be installed is compatible with thevehicle type.

Ensure that the mounting location ofthe child restraint system within thevehicle is correct.Allow children to enter and exit thevehicle only on the side facing awayfrom the traffic.When the child restraint system is notin use, secure the seat with a seat beltor remove it from the vehicle.NoteDo not stick anything on the childrestraint systems and do not coverthem with any other materials.A child restraint system which hasbeen subjected to stress in anaccident must be replaced.
