54Seats, restraints9Danger
Do not use a child restraint system
on the passenger seat with active
front airbag.
Airbag deactivation 3 55.
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.
The front airbag system is triggered in
the event of an accident of a certain
severity. The ignition must be
switched on.
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 40.
Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions.
Fasten 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 an accident of a certain
severity. The ignition must 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.
Seats, restraints559Warning
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.
Airbag deactivation
Front airbag and side airbag systems for the front passenger seat must be
deactivated if a child restraint system
is to be fitted on this seat, in
accordance with the instructions in
the child restraint installation location
tables 3 58.
The belt pretensioners and all driver
airbag systems will remain active.
The front passenger airbag system
can be deactivated via a switch on the
side of the instrument panel.
With the ignition off, open the front
door, push switch in and rotate anti-
clockwise to the OFF position.
Front passenger seat airbags are
deactivated and will not inflate in the event of a collision. Control indicator
W 3 86 illuminates continuously in
the instrument panel and a
corresponding message appears in
the Driver Information Centre (DIC)
3 92.
A child restraint system can be
installed in accordance with the
installation locations chart 3 58. An
adult must not occupy the front
passenger seat.
56Seats, restraints9Danger
Risk of fatal injury for a child using
a child restraint system together
with activated front passenger
airbag.
Risk of fatal injury for an adult
person with deactivated front
passenger airbag.
As long as control indicator W is not
illuminated, the airbag systems for
the front passenger seat will inflate in the event of a collision.
If control indicator A remains
illuminated together with v, this
indicates a fault within the system.
The switch position may have been
changed inadvertently with the
ignition on. Turn ignition off and on
again and reset the switch position. If
A and v still remain illuminated,
seek the assistance of a workshop.
Change status only when the vehicle
is stopped with the ignition off. Status remains until the next change.
Control indicator W for airbag
deactivation 3 86.
Child restraints
Child restraint systemsWe 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.
Airbag label 3 51.
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.
Child locks 3 25.
Selecting the right system 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.

Storage739Warning
Always make sure that the load in
the vehicle is securely stowed.
Otherwise objects can be thrown
around inside the vehicle and
cause personal injury or damage
to the load or vehicle.
● The payload is the difference between the permitted gross
vehicle weight (see identification
plate 3 204) and the EC kerb
weight.
To calculate the payload, enter
the data for your vehicle in the
Weights table at the front of this
manual.
The EC kerb weight includes
weights for the driver (68 kg),
luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (fuel
tank 90% full).
Optional equipment and
accessories increase the kerb
weight.
● Driving with a roof load increases
the sensitivity of the vehicle to
cross-winds and has a
detrimental effect on vehicle
handling due to the vehicle's
higher centre of gravity.
Distribute the load evenly and secure it properly with retaining
straps. Adjust the tyre pressure
and vehicle speed according to
the load conditions. Check and
retighten the straps frequently.
Do not drive faster than 75 mph.
● The permissible roof load (which includes the weight of the roof
rack) is 200 kg for standard roof
variants. The roof load is the combined weight of the roof rack
and the load.
