Airbag system «Opel Full Size» consists of several separate systems.
Front airbag system
The front airbag system is activated in severe frontal collisions and forms a safety shock absorber for the driver and front passenger. The movement in front of those sitting forward is sharply slowed down and, thereby, the risk of injury to the upper body and head is significantly reduced.
Side airbag system
The side airbag system is activated in the event of side collisions and forms a safety damper for the driver or front passenger in the area of the respective front door. In this way, the risk of injury to the upper and pelvic parts of the body is significantly reduced in the event of a side collision.
Inflatable security curtains
The curtain airbags deploy in the event of side collisions and form a safety buffer in the head area on the corresponding side of the vehicle. This significantly reduces the risk of head injury in a side collision.
Front airbag
The presence of the front airbag system is marked with the inscription «AIRBAG» on the steering wheel and above the front glove box.
The front airbag system includes:
- an air cushion with a gas generator, located both in the steering wheel and in the instrument panel;
- control electronics with collision sensors;
- signaling device for airbag systems on the instrument panel;
- seat occupancy recognition system;
- child safety alarm with transponders in the instrument panel.
The front airbag system will deploy when:
- in case of an accident of a certain severity;
- depending on the type of collision;
- in the coverage area shown in the figure;
- regardless of the side airbag system and air curtains.
Front passenger seat with seat occupied recognition
The seat occupied recognition system deactivates the passenger's front and side airbags when the seat is not occupied or the Opel child restraint system with transponders is installed.
