9 Warning
If handled improperly the airbagsystems can be triggered in anexplosive manner.
NoteThe airbag systems and belttensioner 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.Do not make any modifications tothe airbag system as this willinvalidate the vehicle type approval.In the event of airbag deploymenthave the steering wheel, theinstrument panel, all panelling parts,the door seals, the handles and theseats removed by a workshop.

9 Danger
Do not use a child restraint systemon the passenger seat with activefront airbag.
Airbag deactivation 3 49.
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 an accident of a certainseverity. The ignition needs to 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 35.Keep the area in which the airbaginflates clear of obstructions.Fit the seat belt correctly andengage securely. Only then theairbag is able to protect.
48 Seats, restraints
Side airbag system
The side airbag system consists of anairbag in each front seat backrest.This can be identified by the wordAIRBAG.The side airbag system is triggered inthe event of an accident 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 system
The curtain airbag system consists ofan airbag in the roof frame on eachside. This can be identified by theword AIRBAG on the headlining trim.The curtain airbag system is triggeredin the event of an accident of a certainseverity. The ignition needs to beswitched on.The inflated airbags cushion theimpact, thereby reducing the risk ofinjury to the head in the event of aside-on impact considerably.
Seats, restraints 49
9 Warning
Keep the area in which the airbaginflates clear of obstructions.
Airbag deactivationFront airbag and side airbag systemsfor the front passenger seat have tobe deactivated if a child restraintsystem is to be fitted on this seat. Thecurtain airbag system, the belttensioners and all driver airbagsystems will remain active.
The airbag deactivation system isindicated by a label on the side of theinstrument panel, visible when thefront passenger door is open.
Front passenger airbag system canbe deactivated via a switch located onthe front passenger door.With the front passenger door open,press switch in and rotate anti-clockwise to the OFF position.Front passenger seat airbags aredeactivated and will not inflate in theevent of a collision. Control indicatorW illuminates continuously in theinstrument cluster. A child restraint
system can be installed inaccordance with the installationlocations chart 3 51.
9 Danger
Risk of fatal injury for a child usinga child restraint system togetherwith activated front passengerairbag.Risk of fatal injury for an adultperson with deactivated frontpassenger airbag.
As long as control indicator W is notilluminated, the airbag systems forthe front passenger seat will inflate inthe event of a collision.Change status only when the vehicleis stopped with the ignition off. Statusremains until the next change.If control indicator W remainsilluminated together with v, thisindicates a fault within the system.Seek the assistance of a workshop.Control indicator for airbagdeactivation 3 72.

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 Warning
When using a child restraintsystem on the front passengerseat, the airbag systems for thefront passenger seat must bedeactivated; 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.
Airbag deactivation 3 49.
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.
