Airbag warning light.
General comments?
This car is the best I have ever owned, everything that people say about the vectra is wrong! the only problems I've had are small. The acceleration is very good, and handles well at high speed, the seats are quite comfortable. the dashboard could have been designed a bit better, it looks cheap, but overall a good design. I would buy another vectra any day!
