Control indicator v for airbag systems
The function of the airbag systems is
monitored electronically together with the
seat occupancy recognition 3 and belt
tensioner systems 3 and the deployable
anti-roll bars. Their operational readiness is
indicated by control indicator v. When the
ignition is switched on, the control indicator
illuminates for approx. 4 seconds. If it does
not illuminate, does not go out after 4
seconds or illuminates whilst driving, there
is a fault in the airbag systems, seat
occupancy recognition 3 or belt tensioner
systems, or in the deployable anti-roll
bars 3, – page 113. The systems may fail
to trigger in the event of an accident.
Deployment of the airbags is indicated by
continuous illumination of v.
The system’s integrated self-diagnostics
allows faults to be quickly remedied. Have
your Car Pass on hand when consulting a
Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
9 Warning

which the airbag inflates. Do not place
the hands or arms on the covers of the
airbag systems. Important information

The three-point seat belt must always be
correctly fitted – page 115.
