When triggered, the side airbag inflates

for the driver or front passenger in the
respective door area. This substantially
reduces the risk of injury to the upper body
and pelvis in the event of a side-on
collision.
The side airbags will not be triggered in the
event of
z
the ignition is switched off,
z frontal collisions,
z accidents in which the vehicle overturns,
z collisions involving a rear impact,
z collisions involving a side impact outside
the passenger cell.
In addition, the side airbag system will not
be triggered for the front passenger in
versions with seat occupancy recognition 3
if
z the front passenger seat is unoccupied,
z there is a properly fitted Vauxhall child
restraint system with transponders 3 .
