Beyond the warning required by
ECE R94.02, for safety reasons
never use a forward-facing child
restraint system on the passenger
seat with an active front airbag.9 Danger
Do not use a child restraint system
on the passenger seat with active
front airbag.
The airbag label is located on both
sides of the front passenger sun visor.
Airbag deactivation 3 63.
Front airbag system The front airbag system consists of
one airbag in the steering wheel and
one in the instrument panel on the
front passenger side. These can be
identified by the word AIRBAG.
Additionally there is a warning label
on the side of the instrument panel,
visible when the front passenger door is open, or on the front passenger sun
visor.
The front airbag system is triggered in
the event of a front-end impact of a
certain severity. The ignition must be
switched on.

62Seats, restraints
The inflated airbags cushion the
impact, thereby reducing the risk of
injury to the upper body and head of
the front seat occupants
considerably.
9 Warning
Optimum protection is only
provided when the seat is in the
proper position.
Seat position 3 48.
Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions.
Fit the seat belt correctly and
engage securely. Only then is the
airbag 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 must be
switched on.
The inflated airbags cushion the
impact, thereby reducing the risk of
injury to the head and upper body 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.

deactivation 3 90.Child restraints
Child restraint systems
We recommend the following child
restraint systems which are tailored
specifically to the vehicle:
■ Group 0, Group 0+
OPEL Baby cradle, with or without
ISOFIX base, for children up to
13 kg
■ Group I
OPEL Duo, Britax Römer King, for
children from 9 kg to 18 kg
■ Group II, Group III
OPEL Kid, OPEL Kidfix, for children from 15 kg up to 36 kg
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 63.
Airbag label 3 58.

Seats, restraints659Warning
When using child restraint
systems on the rear seats, ensure that the backrests are engaged
securely in upright position.
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 restraint systems that
comply with valid UN ECE
regulations. 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, see following
tables.
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.
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.
