Replacing airbag system parts
after a crash
Note
After an accident where airbags
have deployed, the systems,
associated parts and hardware
must be checked and replaced as
required.
Seats, associated parts and
hardware must also be checked and
replaced as required.
The airbag system should also be
inspected after an accident if:
• The dashboard area or steering
wheel is scratched, cracked or
damaged.
• The front seats and upholstery
are damaged.
• The headliner or trim panels are
damaged.
It is recommended that this work be
carried out by a Holden Dealer or
approved repairer.
Child restraints
Warning
WARNING – EXTREME HAZARD
Do not use a rearward facing child
restraint on a seat protected by an
airbag in front of it.
The child could be seriously
injured if the airbag inates, as the
child’s head would be very close
to the inating airbag.
Remember that it is safest for
children to be seated in the
rear seats.
Never carry a child while
travelling in the vehicle.
Warning
This manual provides you with
general information concerning
child restraints only.
The driver is required by law to
ensure that passengers are
suitably restrained. In most
States and Territories of Australia
and New Zealand, specic laws
may exist which require children
to be seated in approved child
restraints.
Holden strongly recommends
that you refer to your specic
State or Territory regulations to
determine which child restraint is
suitable for your child.
