Child restraint systems
We recommend Opel child restraint
systems which are tailored
specifically to the vehicle.
The following child restraints are
recommended for the following
weight classes:
■ Group 0, Group 0+
Maxi Cosi Cabriofix plus Easyfix,
for children up to 13 kg
■ Group I
OPEL Duo, for children from 13 kg
to 18 kg in this group
When a child restraint system is being
used, pay attention to the following
usage and installation instructions
and also those supplied with the child
restraint system.
Check local laws and regulations for
mandatory use of child restraint
systems. In some countries, the use
of child restraint systems is forbidden
on certain seats.
9 Danger
If using a rear-facing child restraint
system on the front passenger
seat, the airbag system for the
front passenger seat must be
deactivated. This also applies to
certain forward-facing child
restraint systems as indicated in
the tables 3 52.
Airbag deactivation 3 48.
Airbag label 3 43.
The rear seats are the most
convenient location to fasten a child
restraint system.
Children should travel facing
rearwards in the vehicle as long as
possible. This ensures that the child's
backbone, which is still very weak, is
under less strain in the event of an
accident.
Selecting the right system
Only use suitable restraint systems,
e.g. those that comply with valid
UN ECE regulations.
Ensure that the child restraint system
to be installed is compatible with the
vehicle type. Refer to the tables on
the following pages, the instructions
supplied with the child restraint
system and the vehicle type list of
non-universal child restraint systems.
Ensure that the mounting location of
the child restraint system within the
vehicle is correct, see following
tables.
Allow children to enter and exit the
vehicle only on the side facing away
from the traffic.
When the child restraint system is not
in use, secure the seat with a seat belt
or remove it from the vehicle.
Child restraint systems could be
fastened with ISOFIX mounting
brackets, Top-tether if available,
and/or a three-point seat belt. Refer
to the following tables.
