9 Warning
If a Vauxhall child restraint sy stem with transponders has been fitted a ccord ing to the instructions, the control indica tor for Vauxhall child restraint systems with transponders y must illumina te in the front courtesy light when the ignition is switched on. If the control indicator does not illuminate while driving, the front passengers airb ag systems have not been deactiva ted a nd there is a risk of fatal injury. In this case, fit child restraint system s to the outer rear seats only. Hav e the cause of the fault eliminated by a work shop.
Imp or tant z Due to risk of injury when the airbag s deploy, a ccessories and objects should not be placed within the expansion range of the airbag sy stems. z Do not place any objects between the airbag sy stems and the v ehicle occupants; risk of injury.
z Do not stick any thing on the steering wheel, instrument panel, front seat backrests or roof frame, in the vicinity of the airbags, or on the front p assengers seat cushion, or cover any of those areas with other materia ls. z Use only a dry cloth or interior c leaner to clean the steering wheel, instrument panel, front seat backrests, roof fra me and seat cushion of the front passeng ers seat. Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents. z Only protective covers which are approved for your vehicle with side airbag m ay be fitted on the front seats. When fitting the protective cov ers, make sure tha t the airbag units on the outboard sides of the front seat backrests are not covered. z The airbag sy stems are triggered ind epend ently of each other depending on the severity of the accident a nd the type of imp act. The side airbag sy stem 3 and the c urtain airbag sy stem 3 are trig gered together. See seat occupancy recognition 3 on pag e 73 for ex ceptions. z Each a irb ag deploys once only. Have a workshop replace dep loy ed airbags immediately.
9 Warning
Never carry child restraint systems or other objects on y our la p - risk of fatal injury . z Use the hook s in the roof fram e only to hang up light articles of clothing or coat hangers. Do not p la ce any objects in the pockets of the hanging item s risk of injury . z The airb ag systems and b elt tensioner control electronics can be found in the centre console area .

z When disposing of the vehicle, the safety instructions g iven for this must b e observed. Take the v ehicle to a recy cling compa ny for disp osal. z Persons weighing less than 35 kg should only travel on the rear seats. This does not apply to children who are travelling in child restraint systems with transp onders 3. z In v ehicles with seat occ upa ncy rec og nition 3, do not place any heavy objec ts on the front passenger s seat otherwise the airbag system s for the front p assengers seat may b e triggered in the event of an accident. z In v ehicles with seat occ upa ncy rec og nition 3, to prev ent malfunctions do not use protective c ov ers or extra seat cushions on the front passeng ers seat. z When using a Vauxhall c hild restraint sy stem with transponders 3 on the front passeng ers seat, in order to prevent malfunctions, no objects (e. g. pla stic sheet, stickers or heated mats) may be placed und er the child restraint sy stem.
z The speeds, directions of movement and deformation properties of the vehicles, and the properties of the obstacle concerned, d eterm ine the severity of the accident and trig gering of the airb ags. The degree of damag e to y our v ehicle and the resulting repa ir costs alone a re not indicative that the criteria for trigg ering of the airba gs were met. z Do not p erform any a lterations on the com ponents of the airbag sy stem, as this would render the vehic le unroadworthy .
9 Warnin g
Child restraint systems as well as other objects must never be carried on the lap of passengers; risk of fatal injury . If carried in this way , child restraint system s with transponders 3 in vehicles with seat occupancy recognition 3 could lead to front passenger s airb ag systems not being triggered in the event of an accident.
