Vauxhall Combo Owner's Manual page 92

Important
z Accessories and other objects must not
be affixed or placed in the area in which
the airbags inflate as they could cause
injury if the airbags are triggered.
z Do not place any objects between the
airbag systems and the vehicle
occupants. Risk of injury. Do not install a
child restraint system 3 on the front
passenger's seat. Danger to life.
9
Warning
As with any other object, child restraint
systems must not be carried on a
passenger's lap. Danger to life.
z Use the hooks in the roof frame only to
hang up light articles of clothing or coat
hangers. Do not place any objects in the
pockets of the hanging items – risk of
injury.
z The airbag systems and belt tensioner
control electronics can be found in the
centre console area. In order to avoid
malfunctions, do not store magnetic
objects in this area.
z Do not stick anything on the steering
wheel, instrument panel or front seat
backrests in the vicinity of the airbags.
Do not cover any of these areas with
other materials.
z Use only a dry cloth or interior cleaner to
clean the steering wheel, instrument
panel and front seat backrests. Do not
use any aggressive cleaning agents.
z Only protective covers which are
approved for your Combo with side
airbag may be fitted on the front seats.
When fitting the protective covers, make
sure that the airbag units on the
outboard sides of the front seat
backrests are not covered.
z The airbag systems are triggered
independently of one another
depending on the severity of the
accident and type of impact.
z Each airbag can be triggered only once.
Once triggered, an airbag must be
replaced without delay. We recommend
that you consult your Vauxhall
Authorised Repairer.
z The speeds, directions of movement and
deformation properties of the vehicles,
and the properties of the obstacle
concerned, determine the severity of the
accident and triggering of the airbags.
The degree of damage to your vehicle
and the resulting repair costs alone are
not indicative that the criteria for
triggering of the airbags were met.
Safety systems
z Do not perform any alterations on the
components of the airbag system, as this
would render the vehicle unroadworthy.
9
Warning
The systems can be triggered abruptly
and cause injury if they are handled
improperly.
z We recommend having the steering
wheel, the instrument panel, all panelling
parts, the door seals, the handles and
the seats removed by 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.
z Anyone weighing less than 35 kg should
sit in the rear seat.
