    Vauxhall Full Size airbag system The Vauxhall Full S ize a irb ag system comprises severa l ind ividual systems.

    Front a irbag system The front airb ag system is triggered in the event of a serious accident involving a frontal impa ct and forms sa fety cushions for the driver and front passenger. The forward movement of the driver a nd front passenger is checked a nd the risk of injuries to the up per body and head thereby substantially reduced.

    Side airba g system 3 The side airbag system triggers when a side-on collision occurs and provides a safety barrier for the driver a nd/or passenger in the respective front door area. This reduces the risk of injury to the upper body considera bly in case of a side impa ct.

    Cur tain ai rbag system 3 The curtain a irba g system triggers in case of a side-on collision and provid es a safety barrier in the hea d area on the respective side of the vehic le. This reduces the risk of injury to the hea d considerab ly in case of a side-on collision.

    Notes on loading the vehicle

    z Heavy objec ts in the lug gage/load com partment should be placed as far forward as p ossible against the rear seat backrests or, if the rear seat backrests are folded down, ag ainst the front seat backrests. If objects are to be stacked, the heav ier objects should be placed at the bottom. Unsecured objects in the lugga ge/load compartm ent would be thrown forward with great force, for instance in the event of heavy brak ing.

    z Secure heavy objec ts with lashing straps 3 a ttac hed to lashing eyes 3 see page 72. If heavy loads slip when the vehicle is braked heavily or driven around a bend, the handling of the vehicle may chang e.

    z Com bo: If objects are transported in the load c om partment, the split load compa rtm ent grille 3 must always be locked in one of the retainers and the lever m ust be enga ged at its bottom position see page 72.

    z Com bo: C lose the luggage compartment cover so there is no reflection in the rear window.

    z If objects are being transp orted in the luggage/load compartment, the rear seat backrests must be locked in position see p ages 67, 69.

    z Do not a llow the load to protrude ab ove the upp er edge of the rear seat back rests, or above the upper ed ge of the front seat b ackrests if the rear seat back rests a re folded down.

    z The warning triangle 3 and first-aid kit (cushion) 3 m ust always be freely accessible.

    z Do not place any objects in front of the rea r window or on the instrument pa nel. They are reflected in the glass, obstruct the drivers view and will be thrown through the vehicle, for insta nce in the event of heavy b ra king.

    z Com bo: when stowing objects in the stow age compartment above the front seats, sec ure against falling out.

    z No objects must be placed in the area in which the airbags inflate, as they could cause injury when the airbags are trig gered.

    z The load must not obstruct the operation of the hand brake and the gears or restric t the drivers freed om of movement.

    z Do not drive with lugga ge compa rtm ent open when tra nsporting bulky objects, for exam ple, since toxic exhaust fumes could penetra te the interior.

    z Weights, payload and roof loa d see page 234.

    z Driv ing with a roof load (see pages 138, 141, 160) increases the sensitivity of the vehicle to crosswinds and has a detrimenta l effec t on vehicle handling owing to the vehicles higher centre of gravity.

    Disregarding instructions ca n lead to injuries which could be fatal. Vehicle passeng ers should be inform ed accordingly.

    Safety systems Three-stage restraint system Comprising:

    z Three-point seat belts,

    z Belt tensioners at the front seats,

    z Airbag system s for drivers seat, passenger seat 3 and outboard rear seats 3.

    The three stag es are a ctivated in sequence depending on the seriousness of the accident:

    z The automa tic seat belt locking devices prevent the belt strap from being pulled out and thus ensure that the vehicle occupants are retained in their seats.

    z The front seat b elt buckles are p ulled downwards. As a result, the seat b elts are instantaneously tightened and the occupants are made aware of the deceleration of the vehicle at a very ea rly stage. This reduces the stress placed on the body.

    z The airbag systems a re also triggered in the event of serious accidents and form a safety cushion for the occupants.

    Be sure to rea d the a ccompanying desc ription of the child restraint system !

    The airbag systems 3 serve to supplement the three-p oint sea t belts and belt tensioners. The seat belts must therefore always be worn. Disregard of these instructions may lead to injuries or endanger life. Vehicle p assengers should be informed accordingly.

  • 79

    Seat belts In the event of an accident, persons not wearing sea t belts enda ng er their fellow oc cup ants and themselves.
