Using the belts
Fitting the belt
Pull the belt out evenly from the retractor
and guide it over the shoulder, making
certain that it is not twisted.
Insert the latch plate into the buckle.
The seat backrest must not be tilted back
too far (the recommended maximum tilting
angle is approx. 25°).
The lap belt must not be twisted and must
fit snugly across the body. Tension the belt
frequently whilst driving by tugging the
diagonal part of the belt. Keep knees pointing straight forward so
that driver’s side knee bolsters can help
prevent submarining under the seat belt in
the event of a collision.
Bulky clothing prevents
the belt from fitting
properly. The belt must not rest against
hard or fragile objects in the pockets of
your clothing (e.g. ballpoint pens, keys,
spectacles) because these could cause
injury in the event of a collision. Do not
place any objects (e.g. handbags) between
the belt and your body. Front passenger’s seat belt reminder
k3Illuminates for approx. 4 seconds when
ignition is switched on.
When the engine is running, if the front
passenger’s seat is occupied and the belt is
not engaged, the control indicator will
flash for approx. 90 seconds and then
illuminate until the
belt is fastened
correctly (control indicator will extinguish
immediately).
If vehicle speed exceeds approx. 22 km/h
(14 mph), the control indicator will flash for
approx. 90 seconds along with a warning
chime, and then illuminate until front
passenger’s seat belt is fastened.
Control indicator X for driver’s seat belt
reminder - see page 72.9 Warning
On pregnant women in particular,
the lap belt must be positioned as low as
possible across the pelvis in order to
prevent pressure on the abdomen.

Child restraint systems 3
Opel child restraint systems are designed
specifically for your vehicle and thus
provide optimum safety for your child in
the event of an impact. The use of an Opel
child restraint system is therefore
recommended.
If a different child safe ty seat is used, follow
the manufacturer’s instructions for fitting
and use.
Selecting the right system
Your child should be transported facing
rearwards in the vehicle as long as
possible. The child’s neck area is still very
weak and in an accident they suffer less
stress in the semi-prone rearward position
than when sitting upright.
9 Warning
Disregard of these instructions may lead
to injuries or endanger life.

Seats, interior48
NotezChildren under 12 years or under 150 cm
tall should only travel in an appropriate
child safety seat.
z Never carry a child whilst travelling in the
vehicle. The child will become too heavy
to hold in the event of a collision.
z When transporting children, use a child
restraint system that is suitable for the
child's weight, age and height.
z Ensure that the child restraint system to
be installed is co mpatible with the
vehicle type.
z You should always observe the
instructions on in stallation and use
supplied with the child restraint system. z
Do not stick anything on the child
restraint systems and do not cover them
with any other materials.
z Only allow children to enter and exit the
vehicle at the side facing away from the
traffic.
z A child restraint system which has been
subjected to stress in an accident must
be replaced.
z When the child restraint system is not in
use, secure the seat with a seat belt or
remove it from the vehicle.
z The covers of the Opel child restraint
system can be wiped clean. The following Opel ch
ild restraint systems
have been approved for installation in your
Antara:
If child restraint systems of other
manufacture are to be installed, ensure
that they conform to the appropriate
safety regulations. Group, weight and age

Mounting brackets for ISOFIX child
restraint systems
The brackets located between the backrest
and seat cushion are used for mounting
ISOFIX child restraint systems.
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.Anchors for Top-Tether child restraint
systems

provided with the Top-Tether child
restraint system.
For use of ISOFIX and Top-Tether fixings,
universal ISOFIX child restraint systems
may be used.Airbag systems
Front airbags
The front airbag system
is identified by the
word “Airbag” on the steering wheel and
above the glove compartment.
The front airbag system comprises:
z an airbag with an inflator in the steering
wheel, and a second one behind a trim
panel above the glove compartment,
z the control electronics,
z the front impact sensor,
z the airbag system control indicator v in
the instrument panel.

Seats, interior53
The front airbag system is triggered:
zdepending on the severity of the
accident,
z depending on the type of impact,
z within the range shown in the illustration,
z independently of the side airbag 3 and
curtain airbag systems.
Examples:
z Impact against a non-yielding obstacle;
the front airbags are triggered at low
vehicle speeds,
z Impact against a yielding obstacle (such
as another vehicle); the front airbags are
only triggered at a higher vehicle speed. When triggered, the driver’s and front
passenger’s airbags inflate in milliseconds
and form safety cushions for the driver and
front passenger. Forward movement of
driver and front passenger is checked and
the risk of injuries to the upper body and
head thereby subs
tantially reduced.
z No impairment of view will occur, as
airbags inflate and deflate so quickly. The front airbag system will not be
triggered in the event of:
z
the ignition being switched off,
z minor frontal collisions,
z accidents in which the vehicle overturns,
z collisions involving a si de or rear impact
where it would not be of benefit to the
occupants.
9 Warning
The front airbag system provides
optimum protection when the seat, seat
belt, backrest and head restraint are
correctly adjusted.
Adjust the driver's seat according to the
occupant's height such that, with the
driver sitting upright, the steering wheel is
held in the area of its upper spokes with
the driver's arms slightly bent.
T h e d r i v e r ’ s s e a t s h o u l d b e a s f a r b a c k a s
possible without compromising the
driver’s ability to reach the pedals,
steering wheel or controls.
The front passenger’s seat should be as
far back as possible, with the backrest
upright. Do not place the head, body,
hands or feet on the cover of the airbag
system.
Do not place objects, children or pets in
the area in which the airbags inflate.
9 Warning
Seat belts must therefore always be worn.
The front airbag system serves to
supplement the three-point seat belts.
If you do not wear your seat belt, you risk
being seriously injure d, or even thrown
from the vehicle, in the event of an
accident.
The belts help to ma intain occupants in
the correct seating position for the front
airbag system to provide effective
protection in the event of an accident.
