Seat occupancy recognition 3
The seat occupancy recognition system
deactivates the front and side front
passenger’s airbags if the front
passenger’s seat is unoccupied or a
Vauxhall child restraint system with
transponders 3 has been fitted to the front
passenger’s sea t. The curtain airbag
system 3 remains activated.
The control indicator for seat occupancy
recognition y is located in the front
courtesy light. If control indicator y
illuminates for approx. 4 seconds after the
ignition is switched on, the vehicle is
equipped with seat occupancy recognition
– see page 74, Fig. 12135 S.
If a Vauxhall child restraint system
with transponders 3 is fitted, control
indicator y illuminates permanently after
the ignition is switched on, as soon as the
system has detected the child restraint
system. Only then may the child restraint
system with transponders 3 be used on the
front passenger’s seat.
