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.
Notice
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 must 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.
The curtain airbag system does not
protect passengers on the third seat
row.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.
Airbag deactivation
The front passenger airbag system
has to be deactivated if a child
restraint system is to be fitted on this
seat. The side airbag and curtain
airbag systems, the belt
pretensioners and all driver airbag
systems will remain active.

The front passenger airbag system
can be deactivated via a key-
operated switch on the right side of the instrument panel.
Use the ignition key to choose theposition:OFF *=front passenger airbag is
deactivated and will not
inflate in the event of a
collision. Control indicator

continuously in the centre
console. A child restraint
system can be installed in
accordance with the
chart Child restraint
installation locations
3 59. No adult person is
allowed to occupy the
front passenger seat.ON V=front passenger airbag is
active. A child restraint
system must not be
installed.9 Danger
Risk of fatal injury for a child using
a child restraint system on a seat
with activated front passenger
airbag.
Risk of fatal injury for an adult
person on a seat with deactivated
front passenger airbag.
If the control indicator ON V
illuminates for approx. 60 seconds
after the ignition is switched on, the
front passenger airbag system will
inflate in the event of a collision.
If both control indicators are
illuminated at the same time, there is
a system failure. The status of the
system is not discernible, therefore
no person is allowed to occupy the
front passenger seat. Contact a
workshop immediately.

Child restraint systems We recommend the Vauxhall 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 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 55.
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.
Suitable are child restraint systems
that comply with ECE 44-03 or
ECE 44-04. Check local laws and
regulations for mandatory use of child
restraint systems.
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.

58Seats, restraints
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 beltor remove it from the vehicle.
Notice
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.

systems
Fasten vehicle-approved ISOFIX
child restraint systems to the ISOFIX
mounting brackets. Specific vehicle
ISOFIX child restraint system
positions are marked in the table by
IL.
ISOFIX mounting brackets are
indicated by a label on the backrest.
Before fastening a child seat adjust
the head restraint to use position

When using ISOFIX fastened child
restraint systems on the second seat
row, we recommend to adjust the
accordant outer seat in third notch
from rear end position, regarding to
base seats. Lounge seat, if equipped, must be in normal position 3 43.
Top-tether fastening eyes
Top-Tether fastening eyes are
marked with the symbol : for a child
seat.Depending on country-specific
equipment, the vehicle may have two or three fastening eyes.
In addition to the ISOFIX mounting,
fasten the Top-Tether strap to the
Top-Tether fastening eyes. The strap
must run between the two guide rods
of the head restraint.
ISOFIX child restraint systems of
universal category positions are
marked in the table by IUF.
