Front Airbag System - Opel Automobile Owner's Manual

56 Seats, restraints
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.

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.
There is also a warning label on the
side of the instrument panel, visible
when the front passenger door is
open.
The front airbag system is triggered in
the event of a front-end impact of
a certain severity. The ignition needs
to be switched on.
