zThe speeds, directions of movement and
deformation properties of the vehicles,
and the properties of the obstacle
concerned, determine the severity of the
accident and triggering of the airbags.
The degree of damage to your vehicle
and the resulting repair costs alone are
not indicative that the criteria for
triggering of the airbags were met.
z Do not perform any alterations on the
components of the airbag system, as this
would render the vehicle unroadworthy.
z We recommend having the steering
wheel, the instrument panel, all panelling
parts, the door seals, the handles and
the seats removed by a workshop. z
The applicable safety regulations must
be adhered to when the vehicle is
disposed of. The vehicle should therefore
be disposed of by a recycling company.
z Persons weighing less than 35 kg should
only travel on the rear seats. This does
not apply to children who are travelling
in child restraint systems with
transponders 3.
z In vehicles with seat occupancy
recognition 3, do not place any heavy
objects on the front passenger seat
otherwise the airbag systems for the
front passenger seat may be triggered in
the event of an accident.
z In vehicles with seat occupancy
recognition 3, to prevent malfunctions
do not use protective covers or seat
cushions on the front passenger seat. z
When using an Opel child restraint
system with transponders 3 on the front
passenger seat, in order to prevent
malfunctions, no objects (e.g. plastic
sheet, stickers or heated mats) may be
placed under the child restraint system.
9 Warning
If handled improperly the airbag
systems can be triggered in an explosive
manner – risk of injury!
9 Warning
Child restraint system s or other objects
must never be carried on the laps of
passengers; If carried in this way, child
restraint systems with transponders 3 in
vehicles with seat occupancy
recognition 3 could lead to front
passenger airbag systems not being
triggered in the event of an accident.
