of a side-on collision and provides a safety
barrier in the head area on the respective
side of the vehicle. This reduces the risk of
injury to the head considerably in case of a
side-on collision.

58 Seats, InteriorThree-stage safety system Comprising:
zThree-point seat belts.
z Belt tensioners at the front seats.
z Airbag systems for driver seat, front
passenger seat 3 and outboard rear
seats 3.
The three stages are activated in sequence
depending on the severity of the accident:
z The automatic seat belt locking devices
prevent the belt strap from being pulled
out and thus ensure that the vehicle
occupants are retained in their seats.
z The front seat belts are pulled down at
the belt locks and at the lower, outer
attachment points 3. This tensions the
seat belt so the occupants are slowed
down with the vehicle early as the vehicle
stops, thus reducing stresses on the
body.
z The airbag systems are also triggered in
the event of severe accidents and form a
safety cushion for the occupants. Read the instructions supplied with the
child restraint system.
Picture no: 18533t.tif
Three-point seat belts The seat belts have an automatic retractor,
so that the belt is spring tensioned and
always lies against the body.
Information on correct seat position
350.
The safety belts lock when the vehicle
accelerates or decelerates rapidly. This
prevents the belt from extending and
keeps the occupant in his or her seat.
9
Warning
The airbag systems serve to supplement
the three-point seat belts and belt ten-
sioners. The seat belts must therefore
always be worn. Disregard of these
instructions may lead to injuries or
endanger life. Vehicle passengers
should be informed accordingly.

Seats, Interior
Seat belts are only intended for one
person. They are not suitable for anyone
under 12 years of age or under 150 cm tall.
For children under the age of 12, we
recommend the Opel child restraint system

In the front seats, stress on the body is
reduced by dampened release of the belt
during a collision.

Child restraint system
3
Follow the usage instructions for 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
Your child should be transported facing the
rear in the vehicle for as long as possible.
The very weak cervical vertebrae of a child
will be under less stress in an accident if
your child is facing the rear and semi-
horizontal, than when he is sitting upright.

Warning
Child restraint systems must not be car-
ried on a passenger’s lap. Danger to life.
