Side Airbag - Vauxhall Omega Owner's Manual

Seat belts must therefore always be
worn. The front airbag system serves to
supplement the three-point seat belts. If
you do not wea r your seat belt you risk
being seriously injured, or even thrown
from the vehic le, in the ev ent of an
accident.
The belt helps to keep you in the correct
seating position, in which the front
airb ag system will provide you with
effective protection in the event of an
accident.
In addition, the front airb ag sy stem will not
be triggered for the front passeng er in ver-
sions with seat occ upa ncy recognition 3 if
z the front passenger's seat is unoccupied
z there is a prop erly fitted Va ux ha ll child
restraint system with transponders 3 .
