Vauxhall Corsa & Combo Owner's Manual page 87

When trigg ered , the front airbags inflate in
milliseconds to form a safety cushion for
the d riv er and front passenger. The
forward movement of the front seat
occupants is c hecked, thereby
sub stantially reducing the risk of injury to
the upp er body and hea d.
No im pairment of view will occur, because
the a irb ags inflate and deflate so quickly
that it is often not ev en noticed in an
accident.
The front airbag sy stem provides
optimum p rotection when the seat,
back rest and head restra int are correctly
adjusted: Adjust the driver's seat
according to the occupant's height so
that when the driver is sitting up rig ht, the
steering wheel is held in the a rea of its
upper sp ok es with the d riv er's arms
slightly bent. The pa ssenger seat should
be as far back as possible, with the
back rest upright (see pa ges 5, 64, 82).
Do not place the head, b od y, hands or
feet on the covers of the airbag sy stems.
Do not place any objects in the area in
which the airb ags inflate. Im portant
inform ation – see page 92.
The three-point seat belt must be
correctly fitted – see page 82.
The front airbag sy stem will not be
triggered in the ev ent of
z the ignition is switched off,
z minor frontal collisions,
z accidents in which the vehicle overturns,
z collisions involving a side or rear impa ct,
that is to say, if it w ould not be of benefit to
the oc cup ants.
