Vauxhall MOVANO Owner's Manual page 58

When triggered, the driver's airbag and
front passenger airbag 3 inflate in
milliseconds and form safety cushions for
the driver and front passenger. The
forward movement of the driver and front
passenger is checked and the risk of
injuries to the upper body and head are
thereby substantially reduced.
z No impairment of view will occur,
because the airbags inflate and deflate
so quickly.

Warning
The front airbag system provides
optimum protection when the seat,
backrest and head restraint are correctly
adjusted. Adjust the driver's seat
according to the occupant's height such
that with the driver sitting upright, the
steering wheel is held in the area of its
upper spokes with the driver's arms
slightly bent. The passenger seat should
be as far back as possible, with the
backrest upright. Do not place the head,
body, hands or feet on the cover of the
airbag system.
Do not place any objects in the area in
which the airbags inflate.
The three-point seat belt must be
correctly fitted (see page 49).
The airbag system will not be triggered in
the event of
z the ignition being switched off
z minor frontal collisions
z accidents in which the vehicle overturns
z collisions involving a side or rear-impact
where it would not be of benefit to the
occupants.

Warning
Seat belts must therefore always be worn.
The airbag system serves to supplement
the three-point seat belts. If you do not
wear your seat belt you risk being
seriously injured, or even thrown from the
vehicle, in the event of an accident.
The belt helps to keep you in the correct
seating position, in which the airbag
system will provide you with effective
protection in the event of an accident.
Safety systems
Airbag control indicator v
The airbag system is monitored
electronically together with the belt
tensioners, and their operational readiness
shown by the control indicator in the
instrument cluster. When the ignition is
switched on, the control indicator
illuminates then extinguishes. If it does not
illuminate, or if it illuminates during driving,
there is a fault in the airbag system.
The system might not be triggered in the
event of an accident.
9
Warning
Have the airbag system checked without
delay. We recommend you consult your
Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
