120 Safety systems
Important
z Do not fit accessories or place objects in
the expansion zone of the airbag
systems - risk of injury if airbags are
deployed.
z Do not place any objects between the
airbag systems and the vehicle
occupants; danger of injury.
9
Warning
Never carry child restraint systems or
other objects on your lap - risk of fatal
injury.
z Use the hooks in the roof frame only to
hang up light articles of clothing or coat
hangers. Do not place any objects in the
pockets of the hanging items – risk of
injury.
z The airbag systems and belt tensioner
control electronics can be found in the
centre console area. In order to avoid
malfunctions, do not store magnetic
objects in this area.
z Do not stick anything on the steering
wheel, instrument panel, front seat
backrests or roof frame in the vicinity of
the airbags, or on the front passenger
seat cushion, or cover any of those areas
with other materials.

z Use only a dry cloth or interior cleaner to
clean the steering wheel, instrument
panel, front seat backrests, roof frame
and seat cushion of the front passenger
seat. Do not use any aggressive cleaning
agents.
z Only protective covers which are
approved for your Vectra with side
airbag may be fitted on the front seats.
When fitting the protective covers, make
sure that the airbag units on the
outboard sides of the front seat
backrests are not covered.
z The airbag systems are triggered
independently of each other based on
the severity of the accident and the type
of impact. The side airbag system 3 and
the curtain airbag system 3 are
triggered together.
z Each airbag can be triggered only once.
Once triggered, an airbag must be
replaced without delay. We recommend
that you consult your Vauxhall
Authorised Repairer.
z The speeds, directions of movement and
deformation properties of the vehicles,
and the properties of the obstacle
concerned, determine the severity of the
accident and triggering of the airbags.
The degree of damage to your vehicle
and the resulting repair costs alone are
not indicative that the criteria for
triggering of the airbags were met.
z Do not perform any alterations on the
components of the airbag system, as this
would render the vehicle unroadworthy.
9
Warning
The systems can be triggered abruptly
and cause injury if they are handled
improperly.
z We recommend having the steering
wheel, the instrument panel, all panelling
parts, the door seals, the handles and
the seats removed by your Vauxhall
Authorised Repairer.
z Applicable safety directives must always
be observed when disposing of the
vehicle. For this reason, disposal should
be performed by an authorised recycling
company. We recommend that you
consult your Vauxhall Authorised
Repairer.
z Persons weighing less than 35 kg should
only travel on the rear seats. This does
not apply to children who are travelling
in child restraint systems with
transponders 3.
