Airbag Deactivation - Opel Astra J 1.4 Turbo 2019 Owner's Manual

The side airbag system consists of an
airbag in each front seat backrest.
This can be identified by the word
AIRBAG.
The side airbag system is triggered in
the event of a side impact of a certain
severity. The ignition must be
switched on.
The inflated airbags cushion the
impact, thereby reducing the risk of
injury to the upper body and pelvis in
the event of a side-on collision
considerably.
9 Warning
Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions.
Note
Only use protective seat covers that
have been approved for the vehicle.
Be careful not to cover the airbags.

Airbag deactivation

The front passenger airbag system

all driver airbag systems will remain

Seats, restraints
The front passenger airbag system
can be deactivated via a key-
operated switch on the passenger
side of the instrument panel.
