replaced by a workshop. Belt  
pretensioners can only be triggered  
once.  
Make sure that the belts are not  
damaged by shoes or sharp-edged  
objects or trapped. Prevent dirt from  
getting into the belt retractors.  
Withdraw the belt from the retractor,  
guide it untwisted across the body  
and insert the latch plate into the  
buckle. Tighten the lap belt regularly  
whilst driving by pulling the shoulder  
belt.

Optimum protection is only  
provided when the seat is in the  
proper position.  
Seat position 3 47.  
Keep the area in which the airbag  
inflates clear of obstructions.  
The front airbag system is triggered in  
the event of a front-end impact of a  
certain severity. The ignition must be  
switched on.  
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.  
Fit the seat belt correctly and  
engage securely. Only then is the  
airbag able to protect.

front airbag.  
The airbag label is located on both  
sides of the front passenger sun visor.

Side airbag system  
Curtain airbag system  
The curtain airbag system consists of  
an airbag in the roof frame on each

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 upper body and pelvis in  
the event of a side-on collision  
considerably.  
The side airbag system consists of an  
airbag in each front seat backrest and  
in the rear outboard seat backrests.  
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

Child restraints  
Child restraint systems  
We recommend the Opel child  
restraint system which is tailored  
specifically to the vehicle.  
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.  
As long as the control indicator * is  
not illuminated, the airbag systems  
for the front passenger seat will inflate  
in the event of a collision.  
If both control indicators are  
9 Danger  
illuminated simultaneously, 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.  
Extreme Hazard!  
Do not use a rearward facing child  
restraint on a seat protected by an  
airbag in front of it.  
Consult a workshop immediately if  
neither of the two control indicators  
are illuminated.  
Change status only when the vehicle  
is stopped with the ignition off.  
Seats, restraints

Suitable are restraint systems that  
comply with valid UN ECE  
9 Danger  
regulations. Check local laws and  
regulations for mandatory use of child  
restraint systems.  
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.  
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.  
Airbag deactivation 3 63.  
Airbag label 3 58.  
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.  
Note  
Do not stick 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.
