Technical data

Adaptive Forward
Lighting (AFL). Meriva
can be specified with
an optional halogen
lighting system, featuring
dynamic curve light and static cornering
light. The result? Better visibility and
enhanced safety too. For more technical
information please turn to page 57.
Integrated safety systems.
Meriva has a rigid central safety cell,
designed for maximum protection, plus
availability of the latest passenger
restraint technology – airbags, seatbelt
systems and active-safety front seat
head restraints. The chassis is also
packed with active-safety features,
specially enhanced to help you keep
control in all driving situations.
Active-safety front seat head
restraints. Meriva’s active front seat
head restraints move up and forward
under a rear impact to minimise the risk
of whiplash injury and guard against
other head and upper body injuries.
Standard on Exclusiv and SE models,
optional as part of the Protection Pack
on Expression and S.
Child safety. All Meriva models feature
pre-fitted ISOFIX mountings on the outer
rear seats. When used in conjunction
with the accessory Vauxhall Duo ISOFIX
child seat, the system ensures a fixed
anchorage for the child seat. The ISOFIX
attachment also features Vauxhall’s Top
Tether restraining strap system for
greater security under extreme braking.
Vauxhall’s two other child seats – the
rear-facing Baby Safe and the KID –
cater from birth to 12 years. All Vauxhall
child seats (including the Duo ISOFIX
illustrated right) can be fixed using the
standard lap and diagonal seatbelts.
Meriva’s wide-opening FlexDoors
®
offer
easier access to the rear seat, so it’s even
simpler to secure a child safely into a
child seat. With front and rear doors
open, Meriva also creates a partially
enclosed area at the side of the car.
Effectively a parent- and child-friendly
zone that makes it easier to control
children as they step in or out of the car.
Airbags. Meriva is equipped with front
and side-impact airbags for driver
and front passenger (front only on
Expression models). The front passenger
airbag can be deactivated for child seat
use. Curtain airbags are also standard
on Exclusiv and SE models.
Vehicle illustrated features accessory Vauxhall
Duo ISOFIX child seat, available at extra cost.
