Airbag Deactivation; Curtain Airbag System - Opel Automobile Owner's Manual

44 Seats, restraints
The inflated airbags cushion the
impact, thereby considerably
reducing the risk of injury to the upper
body and pelvis in the event of a side-
on collision.
9 Warning
Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions.
Note
Only use protective seat covers that
have been approved for the vehicle.
Be careful not to cover the airbags.

Curtain airbag system

The curtain airbag system consists of
an airbag in the roof frame on each
side. This can be identified by the
word AIRBAG on the roof pillars.
The curtain airbag system is triggered
in the event of a side-on impact of
a certain severity. The ignition needs
to be switched on.
The curtain airbag system is triggered
with the side airbag system and
functions independently of the front
airbag system.
The inflated airbags cushion the
impact, thereby considerably
reducing the risk of injury to the head
in the event of a side-on impact.
9 Warning
Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions.
The hooks on the handles in the
roof frame are only suitable for
hanging up light articles of
clothing, without coat hangers. Do
not keep any items in these
clothes.

Airbag deactivation

The front passenger airbag system
must be deactivated if a child restraint
system is to be fitted on this seat. The
belt pretensioners and all driver
airbag systems will remain active.
