Seat oc cupancy recognition 3
The seat occupancy recognition system
deactivates the front and side passenger
airbags if the front passenger seat is
unoc cup ied or a Vaux hall child restraint
system with transponders 3 has b een fitted
to the front passenger seat. The curtain
airbag sy stem remains activated to protect
the p assengers.
The c ontrol indicator for seat occupancy
recognition is loca ted in the c ourtesy lig ht.
If this control indicator lights up after the
ignition is switched on for a pprox. 4
seconds, the vehicle is equipped with seat
occupancy recognition – see page 100, Fig.

can the child restraint sy stem be trans-

recognition can be identified b y the sticker
