Airbag System Safety Measures

 

General

 

-      All operations on the airbag system may only be performed by franchised Opel / Vauxhall dealers and authorized Opel / Vauxhall Service Dealerships and only by trained personnel.

 

-      The telltale must illuminate when the ignition is switched on and extinguish after approx. 4 seconds.

 

-      There is a fault in the system if the Telltale does not illuminate when the ignition is switched on.

 

-      If the telltale does not extinguish or illuminates while travelling, there is a fault in the airbag system.

       It must then be assumed that the airbag system is no longer functional.

 

-      The airbag steering wheel may only be replaced by steering wheels approved by Opel / Vauxhall.

 

-      The impact cushion of the steering wheel must not be cemented, covered or otherwise modified. It may only be cleaned with a dry or water - moistened cloth and with a cleaning agent approved by Opel / Vauxhall.

 

-      The airbag does not replace the function of the safety belt. Passengers must still attach their safety belts to ensure optimal protection.

 

-      The driver's seat must always be correctly adjusted to the driver's body size.

 

-      Vehicles with co - driver airbag do not permit the installation of a child safety seat on the passenger seat.

 

-      Sales of airbag components to third parties is not permitted.
