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 a side impact of a certainseverity. The ignition must 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.

Airbag deactivationThe front passenger airbag systemmust be deactivated if a child restraintsystem is to be fitted on this seat. Theside airbag and curtain airbagsystems, the belt pretensioners andall driver airbag systems will remainactive.

The front passenger airbag systemcan be deactivated via a key-operated switch on the passengerside of the instrument panel.


Use the ignition key to choose theposition:*OFF : front passenger airbag is

deactivated and will notinflate in the event of acollision. Control indicator*OFF illuminatescontinuously in the centreconsole. A child restraintsystem can be installed inaccordance with the chartChild restraint installationlocations 3 45. No adultperson is allowed to occupythe front passenger seat

VON : front passenger airbag isactive. A child restraintsystem must not beinstalled

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.

If the control indicator V illuminatesfor approx. 60 seconds after theignition is switched on, the frontpassenger airbag system 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.Change status only when the vehicleis stopped with the ignition off.Status remains until the next change.

Control indicator for airbagdeactivation 3 68.


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 41.Airbag label 3 39.

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 valid UN ECEregulations. 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, see followingtables.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 affix 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.

Child restraint systems can befastened with:● Three-point seat belt● ISOFIX brackets● Top-tether anchor

Three-point seat beltChild restraint systems can befastened by using a three-point seatbelt. Depending on the size of theused child restraint systems, up tothree child restraint systems can beattached to the rear seats. Afterfastening the child restraint systemthe seat belt has to be tightened3 45.


ISOFIX child restraint systems

Fasten vehicle-approved ISOFIXchild restraint systems to the ISOFIXmounting brackets. Specific vehicleISOFIX child restraint systempositions are marked in the table byIL.ISOFIX mounting brackets areindicated by a label on the backrest.

Top-tether anchorsDepending on country specificequipment, the vehicle might havetwo or three anchors.Top-Tether anchors are marked withthe symbol : for a child seat.

Open the flap of the requiredfastening eye on the placement areabehind the head restraints, marked bythe child seat symbol.In addition to the ISOFIX mounting,fasten the Top-Tether strap to theTop-Tether anchors.ISOFIX child restraint systems ofuniversal category positions aremarked in the table by IUF.

Loading information

● Heavy objects in the loadcompartment should be placedagainst the seat backrests.Ensure that the backrests aresecurely engaged. If objects canbe stacked, heavier objectsshould be placed at the bottom.

● Prevent sliding of loose objectsby securing them with strapsattached to the lashing eyes3 52.

● Use the four hooks on thesidewalls of the loadcompartment for hanging upcarrier bags. Maximum load:5 kg per hook.

● When transporting objects in theload compartment, the backrestsof the rear seats must not beangled forward.

● Do not allow the load to protrudeabove the upper edge of thebackrests.

● Do not place any objects on theload compartment cover or theinstrument panel, and do notcover the sensor on top of theinstrument panel.

● The load must not obstruct theoperation of the pedals, parkingbrake and selector lever, orhinder the freedom of movementof the driver. Do not place anyunsecured objects in the interior.

● Do not drive with an open loadcompartment.

9 Warning

Always make sure that the load inthe vehicle is securely stowed.Otherwise objects can be thrownaround inside the vehicle andcause personal injury or damageto the load or car.

● The payload is the differencebetween the permitted grossvehicle weight (see identificationplate 3 180) and the EC kerbweight.To calculate the payload, enterthe data for your vehicle in theweights table at the front of thismanual.The EC kerb weight includesweights for the driver (68 kg),luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (fueltank 90% full).Optional equipment andaccessories increase the kerbweight.

● Driving with a roof load increasesthe sensitivity of the vehicle tocross-winds and has a

Storage 55

detrimental effect on vehiclehandling due to the vehicle'shigher centre of gravity.Distribute the load evenly andsecure it properly with retainingstraps. Adjust the tyre pressureand vehicle speed according tothe load conditions. Check andretighten the straps frequently.Do not drive faster than120 km/h.The permissible roof load is75 kg. The roof load is thecombined weight of the roof rackand the load.
