Important
z Accessories not released for your vehicle
type and other objects must not be
affixed or placed in the area in which the
airbags inflate, as they could cause
injury when the airbags are triggered.
z Do not place any objects between the
airbag systems and the vehicle
occupants; danger of injury.
z Do not stick or place anything on the
steering wheel, instrument panel, front
seat backrests in the vicinity of the
airbags and seat areas or cover them
with other materials.
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 Use only a dry cloth or interior cleaner to
clean the steering wheel, instrument
panel, front seat backrests, roof frame
and seat area of the front passenger
seat. Do not use any aggressive cleaning
agents.
z Only protective covers which are
approved for your Vivaro with side
airbag 3 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 each other depending
on the severity of the accident and the
type of impact. The side airbag system 3
and the curtain airbag system 3 are
triggered together.
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 side airbag were met.
