Child restraint systems

We recommend the following Opel
child restraint systems which are
tailored specifically to the vehicle:
■ Group 0, Group 0+
OPEL Baby cradle, with or without
ISOFIX base, for children up to
13 kg.
■ Group I
FAIR G 0/1 S ISOFIX, for children
from 9 kg to 13 kg in this group.
OPEL Duo, for children from 13 kg
to 18 kg in this group.
■ Group II, Group III
OPEL Kid, OPEL Kidfix, TAKATA
MAXI 2/3 for children from 15 kg up
to 36 kg.
When a child restraint system is being
used, pay attention to the following
usage and installation instructions
and also those supplied with the child
restraint system.
Always comply with local or national
regulations. In some countries, the
use of child restraint systems is
forbidden on certain seats.
9 Danger
If using a rear-facing child restraint
system on the front passenger
seat, the airbag system for the
front passenger seat must be
deactivated. This also applies to
certain forward-facing child
restraint systems as indicated in
the table 3 50.
Airbag deactivation 3 47.
Airbag label 3 42.
Selecting the right system
The rear seats are the most
convenient location to fasten a child
restraint system.
Children should travel facing
rearwards in the vehicle as long as
possible. This ensures that the child's
backbone, which is still very weak, is
under less strain in the event of an
accident.
Seats, restraints
Suitable are restraint systems that
comply with valid UN ECE
regulations. Check local laws and
regulations for mandatory use of child
restraint systems.
Ensure that the child restraint system
to be installed is compatible with the
vehicle type.
Ensure that the mounting location of
the child restraint system within the
vehicle is correct, see following
tables.
Allow children to enter and exit the
vehicle only on the side facing away
from the traffic.
When the child restraint system is not
in use, secure the seat with a seat belt
or remove it from the vehicle.
Note
Do not affix anything on the child
restraint systems and do not cover
them with any other materials.
A child restraint system which has
been subjected to stress in an
accident must be replaced.
