Vauxhall Combo Owner's Manual

When triggered, the front airbags inflate in 

milliseconds to form a safety cushion for 

the driver and front passenger. The forward 

movement of the front seat occupants is 

checked, thereby substantially reducing 

the risk of injury to the upper body and 

head. 
No impairment of view will occur, because 

the airbags inflate and deflate so quickly.

The front airbag system will not be 

triggered in the event of: 

z the ignition being switched off 

z minor frontal collisions 

z accidents in which the vehicle overturns 

z collisions involving a side or rear-impact 

that is to say, if it would not be of benefit to 

the occupants.

The front airbag system provides 

optimum protection when the seat, 

backrest and head restraint are properly 

positioned: Adjust the driver’s seat 

suitably to occupant’s height so that 

when the driver is sitting upright, the 

steering wheel is held in the area of its 

upper spokes with the driver’s arms 

slightly bent. The front passenger’s seat 

should be slid back as far as possible with 

the backrest upright (see page 63). Do 

not place the head, body, hands or feet 

on the covers of the airbag systems.
Do not place any objects in the area in 

which the airbags inflate. Important 

information – see page 78.

The three-point seat belt must be 

correctly fitted – see page 79.
