Control indicator v for airbag systems
The function of the airbag systems is
monitored electronically together with the
seat occupancy recognition 3 and the belt
tensioners, and indicated by the control
indicator v . When the ignition is switched
on, the control indicator illuminates for
approx. 4 seconds. If it does not illuminate,
does not go out after 4 seconds or
illuminates whilst driving, there is a fault in
the airbag systems, seat occupancy
recognition 3 or in belt tensioners 3 50.
The systems may fail to trigger in the
event of an accident.
Deployment of the airbags is indicated by
continuous illumination of v.
9 Warning
Have the cause of the fault eliminated
by a workshop immediately.
Self-diagnosis integrated into the system
allows rapid fault identification.
Seat occupancy recognition 3
The seat occupancy recognition system
deactivates the passenger front and side
airbags if the front passenger seat is
unoccupied or a Vauxhall child restraint
system with transponders 3 has been
fitted to the front passenger seat.
y
Control indicator for seat occupancy
recognition is located in the courtesy lamp.
If control indicator y illuminates for
approx. 4 seconds when the ignition is
switched on, the vehicle is equipped
with seat occupancy recognition 3 58,
Fig. 12097 S.
If a Vauxhall child restraint system with
transponders 3 is fitted, the control
y
indicator illuminates permanently after
the ignition is switched on as soon as the
system has detected the child restraint
system. Only then may the child restraint
system with transponders 3 be used on
the passenger seat.
