Seat Belts - Vauxhall 2012 Agila Owner's Manual

30 Seats, restraints

Seat belts

The seat belts are locked during
heavy acceleration or deceleration of
the vehicle, holding the occupants in
the sitting position. Therefore, the risk
of injury is considerably reduced.
9 Warning
Fasten seat belt before each trip.
In the event of an accident, people
not wearing seat belts endanger
their fellow occupants and
themselves.
Seat belt reminder X 3 56.
Seat belts are only designed for use
by one person at a time. They are not
suitable for people younger than 12
years of age or smaller than 150 cm.
Periodically check all parts of the belt
system for damage and proper
functionality.
Have damaged components
replaced. After an accident, have the
belts and triggered belt tensioners
replaced by a workshop.
Notice
Make sure that the belts are not
damaged by shoes or sharp-edged
objects or are trapped. Prevent dirt
from getting into the belt retractors.
Belt force limiters
In the front seats, stress on the body
is reduced by the gradual release of
the belt during a collision.
Belt tensioners
In the event of a head-on or rear-end
collision of a certain severity, the front
seat belts are tightened.
9 Warning
Incorrect handling (e.g. removal or
fitting of belts) can trigger the belt
tensioners.
Deployment of the belt tensioners is
indicated by continuous illumination
of control indicator v 3 56.
