Seats, restraints51Child 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.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 50.
Airbag label 3 45.
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 beltor remove it from the vehicle.
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.

Seats, restraints55ISOFIX child restraintsystems
Fasten vehicle-approved ISOFIX
child restraint systems to the ISOFIX
mounting brackets.
Permitted installation positions for specific vehicle ISOFIX child restraint
systems are marked in the table by IL.
No more than two ISOFIX child
restraint systems can be installed on
the rear seats at the same time,
though not on the rear centre seat.
ISOFIX mounting brackets are
indicated by a label on the backrest.
Top-tether fastening eyes
The Top-tether anchors located on
the rear of the backrests are designed
to hold child restraints which come
equipped with Top-tether anchor
attachments only. Follow the
instructions provided with the
Top-tether child restraint system.
For use of ISOFIX and Top-tether
fixings, universal ISOFIX child restraint systems may be used.
Permitted installation positions are
marked in the table by IUF.

Storage69Caution
Do not allow objects to protrude
above the top of the rear floor
storage compartment, to avoid
damage to the storage area and
the load compartment floor.
Jack and vehicle tools 3 179.
Tyre repair kit 3 187.
Temporary spare wheel 3 193.
Lashing eyes
The lashing eyes are designed to
secure items against slippage, e.g.
using lashing straps or a luggage floor
net.
Two additional lashing eyes are
located in front of the rear seats.
Designed for carrying small, light
items only, a luggage floor net helps
keep loads from moving during sharp turns or quick starts and stops.
To install: attach the four net hooks to
the lashing eyes mounted on the load
compartment floor.
Warning triangle Stow the warning triangle below the
floor cover in the load compartment.
First aid kit Stow the first aid kit below the floorcover in the load compartment.
Fire extinguisher Stow the fire extinguisher securely in
the load compartment.Roof rack system
Roof rack
For safety reasons and to avoid
damage to the roof, the vehicle
approved roof rack system is
recommended. For further
information contact a workshop.
Fasten the roof rack to the roof rails
following the instructions that
accompany the system, ensuring that
the roof load is evenly distributed over the side or cross rails.
Loads must not be placed on the roof
surface. To prevent damage or loss,
check frequently that roof loads are
securely fastened.
Driving with a roof load affects the
vehicle centre of gravity; drive
carefully in crosswinds and do not
drive at high speeds.
Remove the roof rack when not in
use.

70StorageLoading information● Heavy objects in the load compartment should be evenlydistributed and placed as far
forward as possible. Ensure the
backrests are securely engaged.
If objects can be stacked, the
heavier objects should be placed
at the bottom.
With rear seats in the folded position, objects must not be stacked higher than the seat
backrests.
● Secure objects with lashing straps attached to lashing eyes
3 69.
● Secure loose objects in the load compartment, e.g. with a luggagefloor net, to prevent sliding.
● When transporting objects in the load compartment, the backrests
of the rear seats must not be
angled forward.
● Do not allow the load to protrude above the upper edge of the
backrests.● Do not place any objects on the load compartment cover or the
instrument panel, and do not cover the sensor on top of the
instrument panel.
● The load must not obstruct the operation of the pedals, electricalparking brake and gear selector,
or hinder the freedom of
movement of the driver. Do not
place any unsecured objects in
the interior.
● Do not drive with an open load compartment.9Warning
Always make sure that the load in
the vehicle is securely stowed.
Otherwise objects can be thrown
around inside the vehicle and
cause personal injury or damage
to the load or vehicle.
● The payload is the difference
between the permitted gross
vehicle weight (see identification
plate 3 205) and the EC kerb
weight.
To calculate the EC kerb weight,
enter the data for your vehicle in
the weights table at the front of
this manual.
The EC kerb weight includes
weights for the driver (68 kg),
luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (fuel
tank 90% full).
Optional equipment and
accessories increase the kerb
weight.
● Driving with a roof load increases
the sensitivity of the vehicle to
cross-winds and has a
detrimental effect on vehicle
handling due to the vehicle's
higher centre of gravity.
Distribute the load evenly and
secure it properly with retaining
straps. Adjust the tyre pressure
and vehicle speed according to
the load conditions. Check and
retighten the straps frequently.
Do not drive faster than
120 km/h.
The permissible roof load is
100 kg. The roof load is the
combined weight of the roof rack and the load.
