Seat occupancy recognition 3
The seat occupancy recognition system
deactivates the front and side airbags 3
for the front passenger if the front
passenger seat is not occupied or a
Vauxhall child restraint system with
transponders 3 is fitted on the front
passenger seat. The curtain airbag system
3 remains activated.
The control indicator y for seat
occupancy recognition is located in the
instrument panel. If the control indicator
illuminates for approx. 4 seconds when the
ignition is switched on, the vehicle is
equipped with seat occupancy recognition,
see Fig. 17117 T on page 100.
If a Vauxhall child restraint system with
transponders 3 is fitted, the control
indicator y illuminates continuously after
the ignition is switched on as soon as the
system has detected the child restraint
system. Only then may the child restraint
system with transponders 3 be used on the
passenger seat.

Vehicles with seat occupancy recognition
are also identified by a sticker on the lower
panel of the front passenger seats – see
figure above.
Vauxhall child restraint systems with
transponders 3 are automatically
detected if correctly fitted to the front
passenger seat. When this type of child
restraint system is in use on the front
passenger seat, the front and side airbag
systems for the front passenger seat are
deactivated. The curtain airbag system
remains activated. Pay attention to control
indicator y for seat occupancy
recognition 3 see page 100.

Warning
Only Vauxhall child restraint systems with
transponders 3 can be fitted on the front
passenger seats. Use of systems without
transponders poses a risk of fatal injury.
Vauxhall child restraint systems with
transponders 3 can be identified by a
sticker.
Note
On the Astra TwinTop, there may be
interference in radio reception of certain
frequencies in the medium waveband
when the roof is open and the front
passenger seat is unoccupied.
