angled when pressing the pedals.
Slide the front passenger seat as
far back as possible.
■ Sit with shoulders as far back against the backrest as possible.
Set the backrest rake so that it is possible to easily reach the
steering wheel with arms slightly bent. Maintain contact between
shoulders and the backrest when
turning the steering wheel. Do not
angle the backrest too far back. We recommend a maximum rake of
approx. 25°.
■ Adjust the steering wheel 3 77.
■ Set seat height high enough to have a clear field of vision on allsides and of all display instruments.

supports the natural shape of the
spine.
Seat adjustment9 Danger
Do not sit nearer than 25 cm from
the steering wheel, to permit safe
airbag deployment.
9 Warning
Never adjust seats while driving as
they could move uncontrollably.

58Seats, restraints
Using the seat belt whilepregnant9 Warning
The lap belt must be positioned as
low as possible across the pelvis
to prevent pressure on the
abdomen.
Airbag system
The airbag system consists of a
number of individual systems
depending on the scope of
equipment.
When triggered, the airbag inflates
within milliseconds. They also deflate
so quickly that it is often unnoticeable
during the collision.9 Warning
If handled improperly the airbag
systems can be triggered in an
explosive manner.
Notice
The airbag systems and belt
pretensioner control electronics are
located in the centre console area.
Do not put any magnetic objects in
this area.
Do not affix any objects onto the
airbag covers and do not cover them with other materials.
Each airbag is triggered only once.
Have deployed airbags replaced by
a workshop. Furthermore, it may be
necessary to have the steering
wheel, the instrument panel, parts of
the panelling, the door seals,
handles and the seats replaced.
Do not make any modifications to
the airbag system as this will
invalidate the vehicle type approval.
When the airbags inflate, escaping
hot gases may cause burns.

Child restraint systems on front passenger seat with airbag
systems Warning according to ECE R94.02:

Seats, restraints59
NEVER use a rearward-facing child
restraint on a seat protected by an
ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it; DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILDcan occur.
Beyond the warning required by
ECE R94.02, for safety reasons
never use a forward-facing child
restraint system on the passenger
seat with active front airbag.
9 Danger
Do not use a child restraint system
on the passenger seat with active
front airbag.
Front airbag system
The front airbag system consists of
one airbag in the steering wheel and
one in the instrument panel. These
can be identified by the word
AIRBAG .
Additionally there is a warning label
on the side of the instrument panel,
visible when the front passenger door
is open, or on the passenger's sun
visor.
The front airbag system is triggered in
the event of an accident of a certain
severity. The ignition must be on.

60Seats, restraints
The forward movement of the front
seat occupants is decelerated,
thereby considerably reducing the risk of injury to the upper body and
head.
9 Warning
Optimum protection is only
provided when the seat is in the
proper position 3 46.
Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions.
Fit the seat belt correctly and
engage securely. Only then the
airbag is able to protect.
Side airbag system
The side airbag system consists of an
airbag in each front seat backrest.
This can be identified by the word
AIRBAG .
The side airbag system is triggered in the event of an accident of a certain
severity. The ignition must be on.
The risk of injury to the upper body
and pelvis in the event of a side-on
collision is considerably reduced.
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.

Seats, restraints61Curtain airbag system
The curtain airbag system consists ofan airbag in the roof frame on each
side. This can be identified by the
word AIRBAG on the roof pillar.
The curtain airbag system is triggered
in the event of an accident of a certain severity. The ignition must be on.
The risk of injury to the head in the
event of a side impact is considerably reduced.
The curtain airbag system does not
protect the third row of seats.
9 Warning
Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions.
The hooks on the handles in the
roof frame are only suitable for
hanging up light articles of
clothing, without coat hangers. Do not keep any items in these
clothes.
Child restraints
Child restraint systems We recommend the Vauxhall childrestraint 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.
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.
