Beyond the warning required by
ECE R94.02, for safety reasons a
forward-facing child restraint system
must only be used subject to the
instructions and restrictions in the
table 3 47.
The airbag label is located on both
sides of the front passenger sun visor.
Airbag deactivation 3 44.
Front airbag system
The front airbag system consists of
one airbag in the steering wheel and
one in the instrument panel on the
front passenger side. The location is
identified by the word AIRBAG.
The front airbag system is triggered in
the event of a front-end 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 head of
the front seat occupants
considerably.
9 Warning
Optimum protection is only
provided when the seat is in the
proper position.
Seat position 3 33.
Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions.

airbag able to protect.
Side airbag system
The side airbag system consists of an
airbag in each front seat backrest.
The location is 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
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.
9 Warning
Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions.
Notice
Only use protective seat covers that
have been approved for the vehicle.Be careful not to cover the airbags.
Curtain airbag system
The curtain airbag system consists of an airbag in the roof frame on each
side. The location is identified by the
word AIRBAG on the roof pillars.
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 head in the event of a
side-on impact considerably.

clothing, without coat hangers. Do not keep any items in these
clothes.
Airbag deactivation
The front passenger airbag system must be deactivated for child restraint
system on the passenger seat
according to the instructions in the
table 3 47. The side airbag and
curtain airbag systems, the belt
pretensioners and all driver airbag
systems will remain active.Use the ignition key to choose the
switch position:
* OFF:front passenger airbag is
deactivated and will not
inflate in the event of a
collision. Control indicator
* OFF illuminates
continuously in the centre consoleV ON:front passenger airbag is
active9 Danger
Deactivate passenger airbag only
in combination with the use of a
child restraint system, subject to
the instructions and restrictions in
the table 3 47.
Otherwise, there is a risk of fatal
injury for a person occupying a
seat with a deactivated front
passenger airbag.

ignition is switched on, the front
passenger airbag system will inflate
in the event of a collision.

Seats, restraints45If both control indicators are
illuminated at the same time, 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.

Status remains until the next change.
Control indicator for airbag
deactivation 3 83.Child restraints
Child restraint systems We recommend the following
Vauxhall child restraint system which
are tailored specifically to the vehicle:
● Group 0, Group 0+
VAUXHALL Baby cradle, with or
without ISOFIX base, for children
up to 13 kg.
● Group I
FAIR G 0/1 S ISOFIX, for children
from 9 kg to 13 kg in this group.
VAUXHALL Duo, for children
from 13 kg to 18 kg in this group.
● Group II, Group III
VAUXHALL Kid, VAUXHALL
Kidfix, TAKATA MAXI 2/3 for children from 15 kg up to 36 kg.
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 Danger
If using a rear-facing child restraint
system on the front passenger
seat, the airbag system for the
front passenger seat must be
deactivated. This also applies to
certain forward-facing child
restraint systems as indicated in
the table 3 47.
Airbag deactivation 3 44.
Airbag label 3 39.
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 ensures that the child's
backbone, which is still very weak, is
under less strain in the event of an
accident.
