2014.5 VAUXHALL ZAFIRA warning

62Seats, restraintsCurtain 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.
Airbag label 3 57.
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.

■ When transporting objects in theload compartment, the backrests ofthe second row must not be angled
forward.
■ Do not allow the load to protrude above the upper edge of the
backrests.
■ Do not place any objects on the load compartment cover or the
instrument panel.
■ The load must not obstruct the operation of the pedals, parking
brake and gear selector, or hinder the freedom of movement of thedriver. Do not place any unsecured objects in the interior.
■ Do not drive with an open load compartment.9 Warning
Always make sure that the load in
the vehicle is securely stowed.
Otherwise objects can be thrown
around inside the vehicle and
cause personal injury or damage
to the load or car.
■ The payload is the difference between the permitted gross
vehicle weight (see identification
plate 3 198) and the EC kerb
weight.
To calculate the payload, enter the
data for your vehicle in the Weights
table at the front of this manual.
The EC kerb weight includes
weights for the driver (68 kg),
luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (tank
90 % full).
Optional equipment and
accessories increase the kerb
weight.
■ Driving with a roof load increases the sensitivity of the vehicle to
cross-winds and has a detrimental
effect on vehicle handling due to
the vehicle's higher centre of
gravity. Distribute the load evenly
and secure it properly with retaining
straps. Adjust the tyre pressure and vehicle speed according to the load
conditions. Check and retighten the
straps frequently.
Do not drive faster than 120 km/h.The permissible roof load is 75 kg and 100 kg for vehicles with roof
railing. The roof load is the
combined weight of the roof rack
and the load.
