Active Head Restraints On Front - Vauxhall ASTRA Owner's Manual

28 In Brief
Vauxhall Full Size airbag system
The Vauxhall Full Size airbag system
comprises several individual systems.
Front airbag system
The front airbag system will be triggered in
the event of a serious accident involving a
frontal impact and forms safety cushions
for the driver and front passenger. The
forward movement of the driver and front
passenger is checked and the risk of
injuries to the upper body and head
thereby substantially reduced.
Side airbag system 3
The side airbag is triggered in the event of
a side-on collision to form a safety cushion
for the driver or front passenger in the
respective door area. This substantially
reduces the risk of injury to the upper body
and pelvis.
Curtain airbag system 3
The curtain airbag system triggers in case
of a side-on collision and provides a safety
barrier in the head area on the respective
side of the vehicle. This reduces the risk of
injury to the head considerably in case of a
side-on collision.

Active head restraints
seats
In the event of a rear-end impact, the
active head restraints tilt forward a little.
The head is more effectively supported by
the head restraint and the danger of
injuries caused by hyperextension in the
area of the cervical vertebrae is reduced.
Active head restraints are identified by the
lettering ACTIVE on the head restraint
guide sleeves.
