Vauxhall Full-size airbag system
The Vauxhall Full-size airbag system
comprises several individual systems.
Front airbag system
The front airbag system will be triggered in
the event of a serious accident involving a
frontal impact and forms safety cushions
for the driver and front passenger. The
forward movement of the driver and front
passenger is checked and the risk of
injuries to the upper body and head
thereby substantially reduced.

Side airbag system
The side airbag system triggers when a
side-on collision occurs and provides a
safety barrier for the driver and/or
passenger in the respective front door
area. This reduces the risk of injury to the
upper body considerably in case of a side-
impact.
Curtain airbag system
3
The curtain airbag system triggers in case
of a side-on collision and provides a safety
barrier in the head area on the respective
side of the vehicle. This reduces the risk of
injury to the head considerably in case of a
side-on collision.

Active head restraints

at front seats
In the event of a rear-end impact, the
active head restraints automatically tilt
forwards. The head is more effectively
supported by the head restraint and the
risk of injuries caused by whiplash in the
neck area is reduced.
Active head restraints are identified by the
lettering
ACTIVE
on the head restraint
guide sleeves.
