Child restraints
Child 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.9 Danger
Extreme Hazard!
Do not use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an airbag in front of it.
9 Warning
When using a child restraint
system on the front passenger
seat, the airbag systems for the
front passenger seat must be
deactivated; if not, the triggering of the airbags poses a risk of fatal
injury to the child.
This is especially the case if rear-
facing child restraint systems are
used on the front passenger seat.
Airbag deactivation 3 47.
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 makes sure that the child's backbone, which is still very
weak, is under less strain in the event of an accident.

■ If seat belt is not fastened.
■ If a certain speed is exceeded with parking brake applied.■ If a warning message or a warningcode appears in the Driver
Information Centre.
■ If the parking assist detects an object.
When the vehicle is parked and/ or the driver's door is opened ■ When the key is in the ignition switch.
■ With exterior lights on.
Battery voltage When the battery voltage is running
low, a warning message or warning
code 174 will appear in the Driver
Information Centre.
1. Switch off immediately any electrical consumers which are
not required for a safe ride, e.g.
seat heating, heated rear window or other main consumers.
2. Charge the battery by driving continuously for a while or by
using a charging device.The warning message or warning
code will disappear after the engine has been started twice consecutively
without a voltage drop.
If the battery cannot be recharged,
have the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop.
126Driving and operating
■If the vehicle is on a level surface or
uphill slope, engage first gear or set the selector lever to P before
switching off the ignition. On an
uphill slope, turn the front wheels
away from the kerb.
If the vehicle is on a downhill slope,
engage reverse gear or set the
selector lever to P before switching
off the ignition. Turn the front
wheels towards the kerb.
■ Lock the vehicle and activate the anti-theft alarm system.
Note
In the event of an accident with
airbag deployment, the engine is
turned off automatically if the vehicle
comes to a standstill within a certain
time.Engine exhaust9 Danger
Engine exhaust gases contain
poisonous carbon monoxide,
which is colourless and odourless and could be fatal if inhaled.
If exhaust gases enter the interior
of the vehicle, open the windows.
Have the cause of the fault
rectified by a workshop.
Avoid driving with an open load
compartment, otherwise exhaust
gases could enter the vehicle.
Diesel particle filter
The diesel particle filter system filters
harmful soot particles out of the
exhaust gases. The system includes
a self-cleaning function that runs
automatically during driving without
any notification. The filter is cleaned
by periodically burning off the soot
particles at high temperature. This
process takes place automatically
under set driving conditions and may
take up to 25 minutes. Typically it
needs between 7 and 12 minutes. Autostop is not available and fuel
consumption may be higher during
this period. The emission of smells and smoke during this process is
normal.
Under certain driving conditions, e.g.
short distances, the system cannot
clean itself automatically.
If cleaning of the filter is required and if previous driving conditions did not
enable automatic cleaning, it will be
indicated by control indicator %.
