Three-point seat belts
With their automatic retractors, the spring-
tensioned seat belts always ensure a snug
fit against the body.
Information concerning the correct seat
position 3 67.
The seat belts are locked during heavy
acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle.
This prevents extension of the seat belt
from the retractor and holds the occupant
in his or her seat.
Control indicator for the seat belt X 3
3 110.
Seat belts are only intended for one person.
They are not suitable for anyone under
12 years of age or under 150 cm tall.
For children up to the age of 12 we
recommend the Opel child restraint
system 3 88.
Belt force limiters
In the front seats, the load on the body is
reduced through dampened release of the
belt during a collision.
Checking the seat belts
Check all parts of the belt system
periodically for damage and function.
Replace damaged components. After an
accident, have the seat belts and deployed
belt tensioners replaced by a workshop.
Make sure that seat belts are not damaged
or trapped by sharp-edged objects.

Belt tensioners
The front seat belts are pulled down at
the buckles in the event of a front or rear
impact above a certain severity. This
tightens the seat belts.
Actuation of belt tensioners
is indicated by illumination of control
indicator v, see next column.
Deployed belt tensioners must be replaced
by a workshop. Belt tensioners can only be
deployed once.
9 Warning
Fasten your seat belt before every
journey.
In the event of an accident, persons not
wearing seat belts endanger their fellow
occupants and themselves.
