Cont rol indica tor v for airbag systems
The airbag systems are monitored
electronically together with seat
occupancy recognition 3 and the belt
tensioners. Their opera tional readiness is
shown by control indicator v in th e
instrument panel. When the ignition is
switched on, the control indica tor
illuminates for approx. 4 seconds. If it does
not illum inate, d oes not go out after
4 seconds or illuminates while driving, there
is a fault in the airbag systems, seat
occupancy recognition 3 or the belt
tensioners – see page 81. The system s may
fail to trigger in the event of an a ccident.
The system’s integrated self-diagnostics
allow s faults to be quickly remedied. Have
your Car Pass on hand when consulting an
Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
Seat occup ancy recogni tion 3
The seat occupa ncy recognition system
deactivates the front and side passenger
airbags if the front passenger seat is
unoccupied or a Vauxhall child restraint
sy ste m with tran s po nder s 3 has been fitte d
to the front passenger seat. The curtain
airbag system remains activated.
Control indica tor y for seat occupancy
recognition is located in the courtesy light.
If control indicator y illuminates for
approx. 4 seconds when the ignition is
switche d on , the vehicle is equippe d with
seat oc cupancy recognition – see page 90,
Fig. 12097 S.
If a Vauxhall child restraint system w ith
tra nsponders 3 is fitted, control indica tor
y illuminates with a steady glow once the
ignition has been switched on and the
system has detected the seat. Only then
can the child restraint system on the front
passenger seat b e used.
Vehicles with sea t occupancy recognition
can also be identified by a sticker at the
bottom of the front passenger seat.
Vauxhall child restraint systems with
transponders 3 are automatically
detected if correctly fitted to the front
passenger seat. When these child restraint
systems are being used on the front
passenger seat, the front and side airbag
systems for the front pas senger se at are
deactivated. The curta in a irb ag system
remains activated. Pay a ttention to seat
occupancy recognition 3 control indica tor
y – see page 90.
