Airbag System - Opel Adam Owner's Manual

Airbag system

The airbag system consists of
a number of individual systems
depending on the scope of
equipment.
When triggered the airbag inflates
within milliseconds. They also deflate
so quickly that it is often unnoticeable
during the collision.
9 Warning
If handled improperly the airbag
systems can be triggered in an
explosive manner.
Note
The control electronics of the airbag
systems, belt pretensioners and
deployable anti-roll bars are located
in the centre console area. Do not
put any magnetic objects in this
area.
Do not stick anything on the airbag
covers and do not cover them with
other materials.
Each airbag/anti-roll bar is triggered
only once. Have deployed airbags/
anti-roll bars replaced by
a workshop. Furthermore, it might be
necessary to have the steering
wheel, the instrument panel, parts of
the panelling, the door seals,
handles and the seats replaced.
Do not make any modifications to
the airbag system/anti-roll bars as
this will invalidate the vehicle type
approval.
When the airbags inflate, escaping
hot gases may cause burns.
Control indicator v for airbag systems
and anti-roll bars 3 96.
Seats, restraints
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.
