Child Restraint Systems

We recommend the use of the Opel child restraint system, as it has been specially designed for your vehicle.

When using a child restraint system, observe the following installation and usage instructions as well as those supplied with the child restraint system.

Always comply with local or national regulations. In some countries, the use of child restraint systems is prohibited on certain seats.

Danger

When a child restraint system is used on the front passenger seat, the front passenger seat airbag systems must be deactivated; otherwise, airbag deployment presents a risk of serious injury to the child.

This is particularly the case if a rearward-facing child restraint system is used on the front passenger seat.

Selecting the correct child restraint system

The rear seats are the ideal location for installing a child restraint system.

Children should ride rear-facing for as long as possible. In an accident, this ensures less stress on the spine of the child, which is always very fragile.

Suitable child restraint systems are those that meet ECE 44-03 or ECE 44-04 standards.

Check local regulations and laws regarding the mandatory use of child restraint systems.

Make sure the child restraint system to be installed is compatible with the vehicle type.

Make sure the child restraint system is installed in the correct position in the vehicle.

Only allow children to get in and out of the vehicle on the side away from traffic.

When the child restraint system is not in use, secure the seat with a seat belt or remove it from the vehicle.

Note

Do not stick objects onto child restraint systems or cover them with other materials.

Child restraint systems that have been subjected to stress in an accident must be replaced.
