Control indicator v for belt tensioners
The functionality of the belt tensioners is
electronically monitored together with
the airbag systems. Operational readiness
is indicated by control indicator v in
the instrument panel. When the ignition
is switched on, the control indicator
illuminates for approx. 4 seconds. If it does
not illuminate, does not go off within
4 seconds, or illuminates whilst driving,
there is a fault in the belt tensioner system
or the airbag systems – see page 86. The
belt tensioner or the airbag systems may
fail to trigger in the event of an accident.
Triggered belt tensioners are indicated by
steady illumination of v.

Warning
Have the cause of the fault remedied.
We recommend that you consult your
Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
The system's integrated self-diagnostics
allows faults to be quickly remedied. Have
your Car Pass to hand when consulting a
Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
Important
z Do not fit accessories not specifically
released for your vehicle type or store
objects in the belt tensioner operating
area (in the area of the belt tensioners)
due to the risk of injury in the event the
belt tensioners are triggered.
z Do not make any modifications to the
components of the belt tensioners, as
this will render the vehicle unroadworthy.

Warning
Improper handling (e.g. removal or
installation) could cause the belt
tensioners to be triggered. Risk of injury!
z The belt tensioner and airbag system
control electronics can be found in the
centre console area. In order to avoid
malfunctions, do not store magnetic
objects in this area.
z We recommend that you have the front
seats removed by a Vauxhall Authorised
Repairer in the event of actuation of the
belt tensioners.
z The belt tensioners only actuate once.
Please replace belt tensioners that have
been triggered. We recommend that you
consult your Vauxhall Authorised
Repairer.
z Applicable safety directives must always
be observed when disposing of the
vehicle. For this reason, disposal should
be performed by an authorised recycling
company. We recommend that you
consult your Vauxhall Authorised
Repairer.
