Seat belts

The seat belts are locked during hard

acceleration or deceleration of the

vehicle holding the occupants in the

sitting position. Therefore the risk of

injury is considerably reduced.

9 Warning

Fasten seat belt before each trip.
In the event of an accident, people

not wearing seat belts endanger

their fellow occupants and

themselves.

Seat belts are designed to be used by

only one person at a time. Child

restraint system 3 63.
Periodically check all parts of the belt

system for damage, pollution and

proper functionality.
Have damaged components

replaced. After an accident, have the

belts and triggered belt pretensioners

replaced by a workshop.

Note

Make sure that the belts are not

damaged by shoes or sharp-edged

objects or trapped. Prevent dirt from

getting into the belt retractors.

Seat belt presenter

The seat belt presenter is a comfort

feature that enables the front

passengers to fasten the seat belts

conveniently by bringing the belts to

the front.

The presenter comes out when:

● The respective door is closed

and ignition is switched on.

● The ignition is on and the door is

closed.

Seat belt force limiters

On all seats, stress on the body is

reduced by the gradual release of the

belt during a collision.

Seat belt pretensioners

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

collision of a certain severity, all 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 90.
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 vehicle type approval.

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

If handled improperly the airbag

systems can be triggered in an

explosive manner.

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.
Each airbag is triggered only once.

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 type approval.

Beyond the warning required by

ECE R94.02, for safety reasons

never use a forward-facing child

restraint system on the passenger

seat with an active front airbag.

9 Danger

Do not use a child restraint system

on the passenger seat with active

front airbag.

The airbag label is located on both

sides of the front passenger sun visor.
Airbag deactivation 3 62.

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. These can be

identified by the word AIRBAG.

Additionally, there is a warning label

on the side of the instrument panel,

visible when the front passenger door

is open, or on the front passenger sun

visor.
The front airbag system is triggered in

the event of a front-end 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 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 48.
Keep the area in which the airbag

inflates clear of obstructions.

62

Seats, restraints

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.

This can be 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 head and upper body 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.

Airbag deactivation

The front passenger airbag system

must be deactivated if a child restraint

system is to be fitted on this seat. The

side airbags, 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 right side of

the instrument panel.

Seats, restraints

63

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 65. No adult

person is allowed to occupy

the front passenger seat.

V

ON : 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 V illuminates,

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 90.

Child restraints

Child restraint systems

We recommend the following child

restraint systems which are tailored

specifically to the vehicle:

● Group 0, Group 0+

OPEL Baby cradle, with or

without ISOFIX base, for children

up to 13 kg

● Group I

OPEL Duo, Britax Römer King,

for children from 9 kg to 18 kg

● Group II, Group III

OPEL Kid, OPEL Kidfix, for

children from 15 kg up to 36 kg

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.

64

Seats, restraints

9 Warning

When using a child restraint

system on the front passenger

seat, the airbag systems for the

front passenger seat must be

deactivated; if not, the triggering of

the airbags poses a risk of fatal

injury to the child.
This is especially the case if rear-

facing child restraint systems are

used on the front passenger seat.

Airbag deactivation 3 62.
Airbag label 3 58.

9 Warning

When using child restraint

systems on the rear seats, ensure

that the backrests are engaged

securely in upright position.

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 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.
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.
