In brief
Vauxhall Full-size airbag system 
The Vauxhall Full-size airbag system 
comprises several individual systems. 
Front airbag system 3
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 3 
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 the event of a 
side-impact.

Active head restraints
3
 
In the event of a rear-end impact, the 
active head restraints automatically tilt 
forward a little. The head is more 
effectively supported by the head restraint 
and the danger 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 bushes.
