124 Safety systems
Seat occupancy recognition 3
The seat occupancy recognition system
deactivates the front and side airbags 3
for the front passenger if the front
passenger seat is not occupied or a
Vauxhall child restraint system with
transponders 3 is fitted on the front
passenger seat. The curtain airbag
system 3 remains activated.
The control indicator y for seat
occupancy recognition is located in the
instrument panel. If the control indicator
illuminates for approx. 4 seconds when the
ignition is switched on, the vehicle is
equipped with seat occupancy recognition,
see next page, Fig. 17117 T.
If a Vauxhall child restraint system with
transponders
3 is fitted, the control indicator
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.

Vehicles with seat occupancy recognition
are also identified by a sticker on the lower
