Three-Stage Safety System; Three-Point Seat Belts - Opel Combo Owner's Manual

48 Seats, Interior

Three-stage safety system

Comprising:
z three-point seat belts,
z belt tensioners at the front seats,
z airbag systems for driver and front
passenger 3.
The three stages are activated in sequence
depending on the severity of the accident:
z The automatic seat belt locking devices
prevent the belt strap from being pulled
out and thus ensure that the vehicle
occupants are retained in their seats.
z The seat belts of the front seats are
pulled downwards at the belt buckles.
This tightens the seat belt, the occupants
are slowed down at an early stage of
vehicle deceleration and stress on the
body is reduced.
z The airbag systems are also triggered in
the event of severe accidents and form a
safety cushion for the occupants.

Warning
The airbag systems serve to supplement
the three-point seat belts and belt
tensioners. The seat belts must therefore
always be worn. Disregard of these
instructions may lead to injuries or
endanger life. Vehicle passengers
should be informed accordingly.
Carefully follow the instructions
accompanying the child restraint system.

Three-point seat belts

The seat belts have an automatic retractor,
so that the belt is spring tensioned and
always lies against the body.

The belts are locked during heavy
acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle.
This prevents the seat belt from extending,
keeping the occupant in his or her seat.
