2020 Vauxhall Combo E Owner’s Manual

As of September 2021, the last date I know anything about, there is no detailed information about a 2020 Vauxhall Combo E model. The Vauxhall Combo is known for being a flexible van that can be set up in different ways to meet different needs, including business needs. Electric cars have become a big trend in the auto business, and many companies, including Vauxhall, have been working on electric or hybrid versions of their best-selling models. It’s possible that information about a 2020 Vauxhall Combo E were announced or made public after the date I knew about, or that the model was only available in some markets. For the most exact and up-to-date information on the 2020 Vauxhall Combo E or other electric cars from Vauxhall, I suggest checking with an official Vauxhall dealer or the Vauxhall website.

Selecting the right system
The rear seats are the most convenient location to fasten a child restraint system. Children should travel facing rearwards in the vehicle as long as possible. This makes sure that the child’s backbone, which is still very weak, is under less strain in the event of an accident. Suitable are child restraint systems that comply with valid UN ECE regulations. Check local laws and regulations for mandatory use of child restraint systems. The following child restraints are recommended for the following weight classes:

• Group 0+:
  Römer Baby-Safe Plus with ISOFIX base for children up to 13 kg
• Group I:
  Römer Duo Plus ISOFIX with ISOFIX and Top-tether for children from 9 kg to 18 kg
• Group II, Group III:
  Römer Kidfix XP with or without ISOFIX for children from 15 kg to 36 kg
• Group III:
  Graco Booster for children from 22 kg to 36 kg

Ensure that the child restraint system to be installed is compatible with the vehicle type. Ensure that the mounting location of the child restraint system within the vehicle is correct, see following tables. Allow children to enter and exit the vehicle only on the side facing away from the traffic. When the child restraint system is not in use, secure the seat with a seat belt or remove it from the vehicle.

Notice
Do not affix anything on the child restraint systems and do not cover them with any other materials. A child restraint system which has been subjected to stress in an accident must be replaced.

Warning
Do not store heavy or sharp objects in the storage compartments. Otherwise vehicle occupants could be injured by objects being thrown around in the event of hard braking, a sudden change in direction or an accident.
