Child restraints
Child restraint systems 3
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.
The country in which you are driving
could require the use of child restraint
systems at specific seats. Follow all
local and national regulations.Selecting the right system
Your child should be transported
facing rearwards in the vehicle for as
long as possible. It is appropriate to
change the system when the child’s
head can no longer be properly
supported at eye height. The child’s
cervical vertebrae are still very weak
and in an accident they suffer less
stress in the semi-prone rearward
position than when sitting upright.
„Children under 12 years or under
150 cm tall should only travel in an
appropriate child safety seat.
„Never carry a child whilst travelling
in the vehicle. The child will
become too heavy to hold in the
event of a collision.
„When transporting children, use a
child restraint system that is
suitable for the child's weight, age
and height.
„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.„Only allow children to enter and exit
the vehicle at 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.
„A child restraint system which has
been subjected to stress in an
accident must be replaced.
„Opel produce a range of child
restraint systems. We recommend
you consult an Opel Service
Partner.
9 Warning
When using a child restraint
system on the front passenger’s
seat, the airbag systems for the
front passenger’s 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’s
seat.

3-11Seats, restraints and interior
ISOFIX child restraint
systems 3
Lower ISOFIX mountings
The ISOFIX mountings located
between the seatback and seat
cushion are used for mounting
ISOFIX child restraint systems on the
outboard rear seats.
The instructions accompanying the
ISOFIX child restraint system are to
be expressly followed.
Only ISOFIX child restraint systems
approved for the vehicle may be
used.
Top-Tether child restraint
mountings
The Top-Tether mountings located
on the rear of the seatbacks are
designed to hold child restraints
which come equipped with a top-
tether mounting strap only.
Please be sure to follow the
instructions provided with the child
restraint system.
ISOFIX child restraint classes
The ISOFIX size class is shown on a
label attached to the child restraint
system.
A = Forward-facing child
restraint for children of
maximum size in the weight
class 9 to 18 kg.
B = Forward-facing child
restraint for smaller children
in the weight class 9 to
18 kg.
B1 = Forward-facing child
restraint for smaller children
in the weight class 9 to
18 kg.
C = Rear-facing child restraint
for children of maximum
size in the weight class up
to 13 kg.
D = Rear-facing child restraint
for smaller children in the
weight class up to 13 kg.
E = Rear-facing child restraint
for young children in the
weight class up to 13 kg.

4-3Storage compartments
Sunglasses storage
compartment 3
To open, pull cover down.
To close, push cover back up.
Luggage compartment
Notes on loading the vehicle
„Heavy objects in the luggage
compartment should be placed as
far forward as possible. If objects
are to be stacked, heavier objects
should be placed at the bottom.
„Secure heavy objects in luggage
compartment using lashing eyes 3.
If heavy loads slip when the vehicle
is braked heavily or driven around a
bend, handling of the vehicle may
change.„No objects should be placed on the
luggage compartment cover or the
instrument panel.
„Do not allow the load to protrude
above the upper edge of the rear
seatbacks, or if the rear seatbacks
have been folded down, above the
upper edge of the front seatbacks.
„Loads must not obstruct the
operation of the pedals, parking
brake and gearshift lever or hinder
the freedom of movement of the
driver. Do not place any unsecured
objects in the interior.
„Bulky objects should not be
transported with the tailgate open
or ajar, otherwise poisonous
exhaust fumes may enter the
vehicle.
„The payload is the difference
between the permissible Gross
Vehicle Weight (vehicle
identification plate 312-1) and the
EC kerb weight.
Optional equipment and
accessories increase the kerb
weight and in some cases also the

4-4 Storage compartments
permissible Gross Vehicle Weight,
which means that the payload will
also change slightly.
According to EC Directive, the
permissible Gross Vehicle Weight
includes assumed weights for
driver (68 kg), luggage (7 kg) and
all fluids (tank 90% full).
Note the weights given on the
vehicle identification plate.
„The maximum permissible roof
load is 35 kg.
The roof load is the combined
weight of the roof rack and the load.
Vehicle speeds in excess of
120 km/h (75 mph) are not
recommended with a full roof load.
Driving hints 3 9-1.
Vehicle weights 312-7.Luggage compartment
under floor storage 3
To access the under floor storage,
pull up floor carpet using the central
strap located near the tailgate latch
and hang the string on the hook
provided.If necessary, the under floor storage
compartment can be removed from
the luggage compartment.
To remove, pull up by handle near the
tailgate latch.
To install, fit compartment into
brackets behind outboard rear
seatbacks, then push down near side
of compartment into clips on both
sides of luggage compartment.
Do not allow objects to protrude
above the top of the under floor
storage.

9-13 Driving and operating
The tank flap is opened by pulling up
the release lever located on the
outboard side of the driver’s seat.The fuel filler neck is located on the
left rear side of the vehicle.
To open fuel filler cap: turn it anti-
clockwise.
Fuel consumption,
CO
2emissions
Directive 80/1268/EEC (last changed
by 2004/3/EG) has applied for the
measurement of fuel consumption
since 1996.
The directive is oriented to actual
driving practices: Urban driving is
rated at approx.
1/3 and extra-urban
driving with approx. 2/3 (urban and
extra-urban consumption). Cold
starts and acceleration phases are
also taken into consideration.
The specification of CO
2 emission is
also a constituent of the directive.The figures given must not be taken
as a guarantee for the actual fuel
consumption of a particular vehicle.
All values are based on the EU base
model with standard equipment.
The calculation of fuel consumption
as specified by directive 2004/3/EG
takes account of the vehicle’s kerb
weight, ascertained in accordance
with these regulations. Optional
extras may result in slightly higher
fuel consumption and CO
2emission
levels than those quoted.

Caution
Wipe off any overflowing fuel
immediately.

Gross Vehicle Weight minus the front
axle load.
