■ Activating the roof on unevenground can lead to malfunctionsand damage.
■ To prevent and remedy squeaking noises of the roof seals a special
maintenance kit is available at your service partner. It is recommendedto apply this product once a year for prevention.
Fault
The automatic drive of the roof is only operational if the roof is in the proper
open or closed position.
Check if: ■ Load compartment blind is engaged in closed position
■ Boot lid is completely closed
■ Outside temperature is above -20 °C
■ There is sufficient battery voltage
■ There is a system overload
If the automatic drive is not
operational, two persons are required
to manually close the roof. See theaccompanying instructions for Astra
TwinTop. Professional assistance is recommended.
Rollover protection system The Astra TwinTop is equipped with
rollover protection with reinforced
windscreen frame and anti-roll bars
behind the rear seat head restraints.
Depending on the variant, the anti-roll
bars are either fixed or deploy
automatically in the event of an
impact of a certain severity.
Fixed anti-roll barsFixed anti-roll bars are secured to the vehicle bodywork.
Deployable anti-roll bars
Deployable anti-roll bars are located
between the rear head restraints and the boot lid. In the event of a rollover, head-on collision or side impact, the
anti-roll bars deploy upwards within
milliseconds. They also deploy
together with the front and side airbag
systems.
The system deploys with the roof
open or closed.

56Seats, restraints
Adjust the height so that the belt lies
across the shoulder. It must not lie across the throat or upper arm.
Do not adjust while driving.
Removing seat belt
To release belt, press red button on
belt buckle.
Seat belts on rear seats
Lead seat belts of the outer seats
through holders at the side if they are not being used.
The seat belt for the middle seat can
only be withdrawn from the retractor if
the backrests are upright and are
engaged in their retainers.
TwinTop
To prevent the seat belts from making
flapping noise when the sun roof and/ or the windows are open, the seat
belts of unoccupied rear seats can be
secured behind the armrest.
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.

Seats, restraints59Fit 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 a side impact of a certain
severity. The ignition needs to be
switched on.
The inflated airbags cushion the
impact, thereby reducing the risk of
injury to the upper body and pelvis in
the event of a side-on collision
considerably.
9 Warning
Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions.
Note
Only use protective seat covers that
have been approved for the vehicle.Be careful not to cover the airbags.
Curtain airbag system
The curtain airbag system consists of an airbag in the roof frame on each
side. This can be identified by the
word AIRBAG on the roof pillars.
The curtain airbag system is triggered
in the event of a side-on impact of a
certain severity. The ignition needs to be switched on.
The inflated airbags cushion the
impact, thereby reducing the risk of
injury to the head in the event of a
side-on impact considerably.

Seats, restraints61Child restraintsChild restraint systems
We recommend the Opel child
restraint 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 systemThe 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.Suitable are restraint systems that
comply with ECE 44-03 or
ECE 44-04. Check local laws and
regulations for mandatory use of child restraint systems.
Never hold a child whilst travelling in
the vehicle. The child will become too
heavy to be held in the event of a
collision.
When transporting children, use the
child restraint systems suitable for the
child's weight.
Ensure that the child restraint system to be installed is compatible with the
vehicle type.
Ensure that the mounting location of
the child restraint system within the
vehicle is correct.
Allow children to enter and exit the
vehicle only on the side facing away
from the traffic.
When the child restraint system is not in use, secure the seat with a seat belt
or remove it from the vehicle.Note
Do not affix anything on the child
restraint systems and do not cover
them with any other materials.
A child restraint system which has
been subjected to stress in an
accident must be replaced.
