Seats, restraints63Airbag deactivationThe front passenger airbag system
must be deactivated if a child restraint
system is to be fitted on this seat. The side airbags, 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

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

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.
