The three stages are activated in sequence depending on the sev erity of the accident: z The automatic seat belt locking d evices prevent the belt strap from b eing pulled out and thus ensure that the vehicle occ upa nts are retained in their seats. z The seat belts of the front seats are pulled downwards at the belt buckles. This tightens the seat belt, the occupants are slowed down at an early stage of vehicle deceleration and stress on the body is red uced. z The airbag systems are also triggered in the event of severe a ccidents a nd form a safety cushion for the occupa nts. 9 Warning The a irb ag system s serve to supp lement the three-point seat belts and belt tensioners. The seat belts must therefore always be worn. Disregard of these instructions may lead to injuries or endanger life. Vehicle passengers should be informed acc ordingly . Carefully follow the instructions accompanying the child restraint sy stem. Three-point seat belts The seat b elts have an automa tic retractor, so that the belt is sp ring tensioned and alway s lies against the body . Information on the correct seat position 3 37. The belts are loc ked during heavy acc eleration or deceleration of the vehicle.

These can be identified by the word A IRBAG. z depending on the severity of the accident, The front airbag system comprises: z indep endently of the side airb ag system 3. z an airbag with inflator in the steering wheel and a second one in the instrum ent panel 3, z the control elec tronics with impact sensor, z the control indica tor for airba g system s v in the instrument, z depending on the type of impact, z within the range shown in Fig. 11734 S, The ignition must be switched on. Seats, Interior When trigg ered , the front airbags inflate in milliseconds to form a safety cushion for the d riv er and front passenger. The forward movement of the front seat occupants is c hecked, thereby sub stantially reducing the risk of injury to the upp er body and hea d. No im pairment of view will occur, because the a irb ags inflate and deflate so quickly that it is often not ev en noticed in an accident. 9 Warning Optimum protection is only provided with the seat in the proper position 3 37. Keep the area in which the airbag inflates c lear of obstructions. Wear the three-point seat belt properly fa stened. The front a irba g system is an additiona l safety device, not a replacement for y our sea t belt. 55 The front airbag sy stem will not be triggered in the ev ent of z the ignition is switched off, z minor frontal collisions, z accidents in which the vehicle overturns, z collisions involving a side or rear impa ct, that is to say, if it w ould not be of benefit to the oc cup ants. 56 Seats, Interior Sid e a irbag 3 The side airbag system consists of a n airbag in each front seat backrest. This can be identified by the word AI RBAG.

The previously selected gear (shown on the transm ission display ) remains selec ted. No gear is selected in selector lever p osition N. When the ignition is switched off, Easytronic no longer responds to movem ent of the selector lev er. If the ignition key is not removed, the battery m ay be discharged if the vehicle is then left to stand for a lengthy period of tim e. Manoeuvri ng the vehicle To manoeuv re the vehicle back and forth during attem pts to park or in garage entrances the creeping movement can be utilised by releasing the foot brake. Never actuate a ccelerator and brake pedals simultaneously. To prevent dam age, Ea sytronic disengages the "creep function" at extremely high automatic c lutch tem peratures. If the handbrak e has not been ap plied, the control indicator R flashes for a few second s a fter the ignition is switched off. Fault To prevent d amage to the Easytronic transmission, the clutch is closed automatically at high c lutch temp eratures. C ontrol indicator A illuminates in the event of a fault. Continued driving is possible. Manual mode ca nnot be used for shifting. If a n "F" is also shown in the transmission display, it is not possible to continue driving.

C lean the transmission around the ca p (see Fig. 13739 S) so that no dirt can get into the opening when the cap is rem oved. 4. Rotate cap to slacken and remove by lifting upwards – see Fig. 13739 S. 5. Turn the a djusting screw clockwise using a flat-head screwdriver (vehicle tools 3 3 129) until clear resistance can be felt. The clutch has now been disenga ged. Ca ution Interrup tion of power suppl y The c lutch is not disengaged if there is an interruption of the power supply when a gear is engaged. The vehicle cannot move. If the battery is discharged, start the vehic le using jum p lea ds 3 122. If the cause is not a flat battery , contact a workshop for assistance. If the vehic le has to be moved out of flowing traffic, disengage clutch as follows: 1. Ap ply hand brake a nd switch off ignition. 2. Open bonnet and engage support. Do not turn bey ond the resistance, since this can da mage the Easy tronic tra nsmission. Man ual transmission 6. Fit cleaned cap again. The cap m ust be in full conta ct with the housing. Reverse gear: With vehicle stationary, three seconds after depressing the c lutch, pull the ring up and enga ge g ear. Ca ution If the gear does not enga ge, set the lever in neutral, relea se the clutch pedal and depress again; then repeat g ear selection. Towing the vehic le and starting the engine is not permitted w hen the clutch ha s been released in this way, although the vehicle can be m oved a short distance. Contact a workshop for assistance immed iately. Do not grind the clutch unnecessarily. When operating, depress the clutch ped al completely . Do not use the p edal as a foot rest (increases c lutch wear). 102 Drivin g and operatio n Driving hints The first 600 mil es (1000 k m) Drive your vehicle at v arious speeds. Do not use full throttle. Never allow the eng ine to labour at low revs. Change gear frequently. Do not press the accelerator pedal more than approx. 3/ 4 in all gears. Do not drive faster than three quarters of max imum speed. Do not brake unnecessarily hard for the first 125 miles (200 km ). During the first drive, sm ok e m ay d evelop because of wax and oil evaporating off the exhaust system. Park the vehicle in the open for a while after the first drive and avoid inhaling the fum es. Fuel and engine oil consum ption is higher than norm al during the running-in period. Never coa st with engine not running Many units will not function in this situation (e. g. brak e serv o unit, power steering 3). Driving in this manner is a da nger to yourself and others. Brake servo unit When the engine is not running, the brake servo unit is no longer effective once the brake peda l has been depressed once or twice. Braking effect is not reduced , but significantly greater force is required for braking. Electri c power steering 3 If the electric power steering fa ils when being towed w ith the eng ine switched off – the vehicle can still be steered, but considera bly more forc e is req uired. Dr iving in mountainous terrai n or with a carav an/trailer The cooling fan is electrically operated. Its cooling p ow er is therefore independent of the engine speed. Since a considerable amount of heat is genera ted at high engine speeds and less at slower speeds, do not shift d ow n when climbing hills whilst the v ehicle is still coping with the gradient in the higher g ear. Diesel engines: O n gradients of 10% or more, do not drive fa ster tha n 20 mph (30 km/h) in first gear or 30 mph (50 k m/h) in second gea r. Driv ing wi th a roof loa d Do not exceed the perm issible roof load, 3 177. For reasons of safety, distribute the load evenly and strap it down firmly using reta ining straps so that it cannot slip. C heck the ty re pressure when the vehicle is loaded. Do not travel faster than 75 mph (120 k m/h). Check and re-tighten the stra ps freq uently . O bserve country -specific regula tions. Sw itching off the engi ne When y ou switch off, fans in the eng ine compa rtm ent may continue running for a time to cool the engine. If the engine temperature is very high, e.g. after driving in mountainous terrain: allow the engine to id le for approx im ately two minutes in order to prevent heat acc um ulation. Vehicles with turbocharged engine After running at high eng ine speeds or high eng ine loads, op erate the engine briefly at a low load or run in neutral for approx. 30 seconds before switching off in order to protec t the turbocharger. Driving and o peration Sav e energy – m ore m iles Please observe the running-in hints on the previous pag e and the tips for sav ing energy on the following pa ges. Good, technica lly correct and economical driving ensures ma ximum durability and performance for your vehic le. O verrun cut-off The fuel supply is autom atically cut off during overrun, e.g. when the vehicle is driven w ith a gear engaged but no throttle application. O verrun cut-off is deactivated if cataly tic conv erter temperature is high. Vehicles with turbocharged engine Flow -g enerated noises may be aud ible if the a ccelerator is released quickly on account of air flow in the turbocharger. Eng ine sp eed Drive in a low engine speed range for each gear as much as possible. Wa rming up Allow the engine to warm up while driving. Do not warm it up by letting it run at idling speed. Do not apply full throttle until the engine has reached op erating temperature. In autom atic mode, Easy tronic 3 does not shift to the higher gears after a cold start until higher engine speeds are reached. This allows the ca ta lytic converter to quic kly reach the temperature that is required for optim um pollutant reduction. Correct g ear selection Do not race your engine whilst in neutral or with a low gea r selected. Driving too fast in indiv idua l gea rs as well as stop-a nd -g o tra ffic increases engine wear a nd fuel consumption. Change dow n When decreasing speed, shift down into the next lowest gear. Do not slip the clutch with a high-revving engine. This is especially important when hill climb ing. 103 C ool ing fan The cooling fan is controlled v ia a therm oswitch and therefore only runs if nec essary . The cooling fan a utomatica lly switches on when the diesel particle filter is being cleaned 3 depending on the engine. Pedals Do not place any ob jects in the footwell which could slip under the ped als and inhibit the pedal trav el. To ensure the pedal travel is uninhibited, there must be no mats in the area of the pedals. Bat tery ca re When driving slowly or when the v ehicle is stationary , e.g. in slow urban traffic, stopand-go traffic or traffic jams, turn off all unnecessary electrical load s w here possible (e. g. heated rear window, heated front seats, etc. ). Depress the clutch pedal when starting in order to relieve the stra in on the starter and the battery. 104 Drivin g and operatio n Saving Fuel, Protecting the Environment Trend-set ting technology Env ironmenta lly friendly and mainly recy clable materia ls were used when y our vehic le was being developed and manufactured. The production methods used to m ake your vehicle are also env ironmenta lly -compatible. Recycling of production wastes keeps the circulation of material closed. Reduction of energy a nd water requirements a lso help s to conserve natural resources. A highly adv anced design mea ns that your vehic le can be easily disassembled at the end of its working life, and the individual materials separated for subsequent re-use. Materia ls such as asbestos and cadmium are not used . The refrigerant in the air conditioning system 3 is C FC -free. New painting techniques employ water as a solvent. End-of-li fe v ehi cle rec overy For detailed information on Va ux ha ll’ s ongoing com mitment to ac hieving an environmentally-sustainable future, including; design for recycling, take back of End-of-Life Vehicle’s (ELVs) and the recycling of ELVs, view www.vauxhall.co.uk/recycling for details. Energy and environm ent-c onsci ous drivi ng z High noise levels and exhaust em issions are often a result of driving w ithout due attention to saving energy and protecting the environment. z Y ou should therefore drive with energy in mind: "more miles – less fuel". Reduce the noise level and exhaust emissions b y adopting an environmentconsc ious driving style. This is ex tremely worthwhile and im proves the quality of life. Fuel consum ption d epend s to a great extent on your own personal d riv ing style. The following hints are intended to help you consume fuel at a rate that is as close as possib le to the specified levels 3 175. C heck y our v ehicle’ s fuel consumption every time you refuel. This facilitates early detection of any irregula rities causing increased fuel consumption. Warm ing up z Full throttle and w arming up at idle speed increase w ear, fuel consumption, ex haust em ission, the am ount of pollutant in the exhaust and the am ount of noise. z Driv e off imm ediately after starting. Wa rm up the engine b y running it at moderate eng ine speeds. Uniform speed z Hectic driving significantly increases fuel consumption, the ex haust emissions, the proportion of pollutant in the exhaust gas and the noise level. z Do not accelerate a nd brake unnecessarily . Drive at uniform speed, watching the road. Avoid frequent starting off and stopping e.g . at traffic lights, in short distance tra ffic and in queues of traffic by m eans of clever planning . Select road s w ith good traffic flow . I dling z The eng ine also consumes fuel when idling . z If you have to wait for more than one minute, it is worthwhile switching off the engine. Fiv e m inutes of idling corresponds to ap prox imately 0.6 miles (1 k m) of driving. Driving and o peration O verrun z The fuel supply is automatically shut off during ov errun, e. g. when the vehicle is being driven down long gradients or when braking 3 103. z To enable the overrun cut-off to come into action and sav e fuel, do not accelerate or d epress the c lutch pedal during ov errun. Corr ect gear sel ec tion z High revs increase engine w ear and fuel consumption. z Do not race your engine. Avoid d riv ing at high engine speeds. Making use of the tachom eter helps to save fuel. Drive in a low engine speed ra nge for each gear as much a s possible with uniform engine speeds. Drive as often as possible in top gear, select the next higher gear a s soon as possible, and only chang e down when the engine is no longer running perfectly smoothly . High speed z The higher the speed , the higher the consumption and the noise level. At top speed, you consume a great deal of fuel and produce excessive noise and exhaust em issions. z Slightly relea sing the accelerator ped al results in distinct fuel savings with no major loss of speed. Drive at no more tha n around three quarters of max imum speed and you will use up to 50% less fuel, without losing a great deal of time. Tyre pressure z Inadequate ty re p ressure, leading to higher road resistance, costs m oney in two wa ys: for more fuel and increased tyre wear. z Regular checks (every 14 d ays) pay off. Electri cal loa ds z The power consum ption of electrical equip ment increa ses fuel consumption. z Sw itch off all aux iliary electrical loads (e. g. air c onditioning 3, heated rear window) when not needed. Roof rack s z Due to air resistance, a roof load can increase fuel consump tion by approx. 3.5 gal./1000 m iles (1l/100 km ). z Remove them if they are not being used. 105 Repai r and m aintenance z Improper repairs or adjustm ent and maintenance work can increase fuel consumption. Do not carry out w ork on the eng ine yourself. You may out of ignorance infringe environmental law s b y not disposing of materials properly. Appropriate parts might not b e recycled. Contact with some of the materia ls inv olv ed may p ose a hea lth haz ard. z We recom mend that repair and maintenance be entrusted to your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. Extr em e d riving conditions z Going up steep slopes, cornering, driving on poor road s a nd winter driving a ll increase fuel consumption. Fuel consumption increa ses dramatically in urba n tra ffic a nd at winter temperatures, especially on short trip s when the engine operating tempera ture is not reached. z Following the instruc tions given above will minimise consum ption under these cond itions. 106 Drivin g and operatio n Fuels, refu elling Fuel c onsum ption Fuel consump tion is determined und er specific d riv ing cond itions 3 175. Special equipment increases the weight of the v ehicle. As a result, they can increase fuel consump tion and reduce the specified max imum speed. There is increased friction betw een engine and transmission parts during the first 600 miles (1000 k m). This increases fuel consump tion. Fuel for petrol engi nes Only use unleaded fuel that complies with DIN EN 228. Fuels with ethanol content greater than 5% may only be used if the v ehicle has been specifically develop ed a nd approved for these fuels. Fuel for diesel engi nes Diesel engines m ust be operated only on comm ercially av ailable diesel fuel meeting the specifications of DIN EN 590. Ca ution S ince Ja nuary 2004, some oil comp anies have mix ed their diesel fuel with up to 5% Bio fuel (FAME = Fatty Acid Methyl Esters) like RME (Rape-Oil Methyl Ester). This is in acc orda nce with the current DIN EN 590 and d oes not ha rm the fuel/injection system. The characteristics of a diesel fuel mix ed up with 5% Bio fuel (FAME) do not differ from conventional diesel fuel and do not influence the vehicle’s driveability. Use of fuel with too low an octane rating could lead to uncontrolled com bustion and engine damag e. I mporta nt: Diesel fuel m ixed with 5% FAM E acc ording to DI N EN 590 m ust not be confused with 100% Bio Diesel, which is not to be used in Vauxhall eng ines. Use fuel with the recomm ended octane ra ting (v alue in bold 3 173). Use of fuel with too low an octane rating ca n reduce engine p ow er and torque and slightly increases fuel consum ption. The flow and filterability of diesel fuel a re temperature-dependent. Diesel fuels w ith improved low temp erature properties are therefore a vailable on the ma rk et during the winter months. Make sure that y ou fill the tank with winter fuel before the start of the cold weather season. Additives can be used with diesel fuels with winter prop erties that are guaranteed by the manufa cturer and when using diesel fuel filters that are heated depending on the outside temperature. Diesel fuels must not be diluted with fuels that are intended for petrol eng ines. Driving and o peration 107 C orrect filling depends to a large extent on proper operation of the fuel disp ensing pump: 1. Fully insert the pump nozz le and switch it on. 2. After the automatic cut-off, the nominal capacity of the fuel tank can be obtained by topping up with two d oses of fuel. Mak e sure the noz zle is fully inserted. To c lose, place fuel filler cap in position and turn, overcom ing the resistance until the ratchet on the cap engages audibly. Lock the fuel filler cap with the ignition key 3. Fuel fi ller cap O nly a Vauxhall genuine fuel filler cap provides full functionality. Diesel-engined vehic les have special fuel filler caps. Refuel ling 9 Warning Before refuelling, switch off engine and any externa l heaters with comb ustion chambers 3 (identified by sticker on tank flap). Switch off any m ob ile phones. Follow the opera ting and sa fety instructions of the filling station when refuelling. With the central locking sy stem 3, the tank flap is unlocked together with the d oors 3 3 22. Open the tank flap . To prevent dam age, the right-hand sliding door cannot be fully op ened if the tank flap is op en. Unlock the fuel filler cap with the ignition key 3, unscrew and suspend from tank flap . The fuel tank has a limiting sy stem which prevents ov erfilling of the tank. 9 Warning Fuel is flam mable and explosiv e. N o smok ing. No naked flames or spa rk s. If y ou can smell fuel in y our vehic le, have the cause of this rectified immediately by a workshop. Fuel filler neck at right rear side of vehicle. C lose fuel tank cov er. Caution Wipe off a ny overflowing fuel imm ediately. 108 Drivin g and operatio n z In the event of misfiring, uneven engine running, a clear reduction in engine performa nce or other unusual problems, have the cause of the fa ult rec tified by a workshop as soon as possible. In an emergency, driving can be continued for a short period, keeping vehicle speed and engine speed low. z If unburnt fuel enters the catalytic converter of a petrol engine, this m ay result in overheating and irrepa ra ble dam age to the cataly tic converter. Catalytic converter, engine exh aust Ca talytic conv er ter The c atalytic converter red uces the amount of harmful substances in the exhaust ga s, such as carbon m onoxide (CO ), hydrocarbons, (CH ) and nitrous oxide (NO x). Fuel grades other than those listed on 3 106, 173 (e.g. LRP = Lead R eplacement Petrol or leaded fuel) could dama ge the cataly tic conv erter or electronic components. C aution Damag e to the catalytic c onverter or the vehic le may result if the follow ing p oints are not ob served. Y ou should therefore avoid unnecessarily long use of the starter when starting off, running the tank dry and starting the engine by pushing or towing. C ont rolling exhaust em ission Design m easures, primarily in the fuel injection system and ignition system zones in com bina tion with the c atalytic converter, the amount of hazardous substances in the exhaust emissions, such as c arbon monoxide (CO ), hydrocarbons (CH) a nd nitrogen oxides (NO x), are reduced to a minimum. Driving and o peration 109 If it illuminates briefly, but does not rec ur, it is of no significance. If A illuminates, there may b e water in the diesel fuel filter 3. Ha ve the fuel filter checked for water residue by a workshop 3 166. If it flashes after the ignition is switched on, there is a fault in the im mobiliser sy stem. The engine c annot be started 3 19. Engine exhaust 9 Warning Ex haust ga s control indicator Z Illuminates when the ignition is switched on and during the start a ttempt. Goes off shortly after the engine starts running. Illumination whilst the engine is running indicates a fa ult in the em ission control system. The permissible emission limits may be exceeded. C ontact a work shop for assistance im med iately. Illumination with the engine running indicates a fault that can cause da mage to the c atalytic converter. It is p ossible to continue driving without causing d amage by slowing down until the flashing stops and the control indicator illuminates. Contact a workshop for assistance immediately . Control indicator A for engine electronic s Illum inates for a few seconds when ignition is switched on. If it comes on when the engine is running, there is a fa ult in the engine or transmission electronics. The electronics switch to the emergency running programm e, fuel consumption may inc rease a nd the driveab ility of the vehicle may be affected. In some cases the fault can be remedied by switching the engine off and starting it again. If the control indicator continues to illuminate whilst the engine is running, contact a workshop for assistance in remedying the cause of the fault. Eng ine exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon m onoxide, w hich is colourless and odourless and could be fatal if inhaled. If exhaust gases penetrate the vehicle, open windows and conta ct a workshop for assistance. Avoid d riv ing with an open ta ilga te. O therwise, exhaust gases could get into the interior. 110 Drivin g and operatio n Diesel p artic le fi lter 3 The d iesel pa rticle filter system filters harmful soot pa rticles out of the ex ha ust gases. The sy stem includes a self-cleaning func tion that run automatically d uring driving. The filter is cleaned by b urning off the soot particles at high temperature. This process takes place automa tic ally under set driving conditions and may take up to 25 minutes. Fuel consumption may be higher during this period. The emission of smells and smoke during this p rocess is normal. Und er certain driving conditions, e.g. short distances, the system cannot c lean itself autom atic ally. If the filter requires cleaning and prev ious driving conditions did not enable autom atic cleaning, control indicator ! flashes. C ontinue driving, keep ing engine speed above 2000 rpm-1 . Shift down if necessary. Diesel particle filter cleaning is then initiated. We recommend that you do not stop your journey or switch off the ignition during cleaning. Cleaning takes pla ce m ost quickly at high engine sp eeds and high loads. Driving and o peration 111 Maintenance Have all maintena nce work c arried out at the specified intervals. We recomm end that y ou entrust this work to your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who ha s p roper equipment and trained personnel available. Electronic testing sy stems permit ra pid diagnosis and remedy of faults. This way y ou can be certain that all components of the vehic le’s electrical, injection and ignition system s operate correctly, that your vehicle has a low level of polluta nt em ission and tha t the cataly tic conv erter system will have a long serv ice life. The control indica tor ! goes off a s soon as the self-cleaning operation is complete. You are thereby mak ing an important contribution towa rd s keep ing the air clean and compliance with em issions legislation. Check ing and adjustm ent of the fuelinjection and ignition system s is p art of the scope of inspection. For this rea son you should have all maintenance work c arried out at the interv als specified in your Service and Warranty Booklet. Hydraulic brake system The foot brak e comprises two independent brak e circuits. If a brak e circuit fails, the vehicle can still be brak ed using the other brake circuit. However, the b ra ke p edal must be depressed a considerable way b efore any brak ing effect occ urs, and much more force is required. The braking distance is longer. Contact a w ork shop for assistance before continuing to d riv e. 112 Drivin g and operatio n For vehicles with Easytronic 3, the control indicator flashes for a few second s w hen the ignition is turned off if the handbrake i s not applied. To ensure the full p edal trav el c an be utilised, especially in c ase of a fault in one of the brak e circuits, there must b e no mats in the v icinity of the pedals 3 103. When the engine is not running, the sup port of the brak e servo unit d isappears once the brake pedal has been depressed once or tw ic e. Bra king effect is not red uced, b ut b ra king requires significantly greater force. This is especially im portant to bear in mind when tow ing. The b ra ke fluid level should be check ed reg ularly . If the brake fluid level is too low and the hand brake is not ap plied, control indicator R on the instrument panel illuminates 3 66. Anti-lock brake system (ABS u ) 3 ABS prevents the wheels from loc king . ABS starts to reg ulate brake pressure as soon a s a wheel shows a tendency to lock. The vehicle remains steera ble, even during hard b ra king . ABS control is mad e ap parent thoug h a pulse in the brake pedal and the noise of the regulation process. Brake system c ontrol indic ator R The control indica tor illuminates w hen the ignition is switc hed on if the ha ndb ra ke is applied or if the brake or clutc h fluid level is too low. Brake fluid 3 168. 9 Warning If the control indicator illum inates when the handbrake is released, stop driving immed iately. Contact a work shop for assista nce. For optimum braking, keep the brake pedal fully depressed throughout the brak ing process, despite the fact that the pedal is pulsa ting. Do not reduce the pressure on the peda l. Driving and o peration 113 Self test ing When the engine is started and the vehicle starts off, the system performs a self-check, whic h may be a udib le. Fault 9 Warning If there is a fault in the ABS, the wheels may be liable to lock due to braking that is heav ier than normal. The advantages of ABS are no longer ava ila ble. During ha rd braking, the vehicle can no longer be steered and may swerve. Cont rol indica tor u for ABS It illuminates for a few seconds when ignition is switched on. Once the c ontrol indicator goes out, the sy stem is read y for opera tion. If the control indicator does not g o out after a few seconds, or if it illuminates while driving, there is a fault in the ABS. The brake system remains operational without ABS regulation. Have cause of fault rem edied by a work shop. The system’s integrated self diagnostics allow faults to be quick ly remedied. Handbrake Alway s a pply handbrake firmly without operating the release button, and apply as firmly as possible on a downhill or uphill slope. To release the handb ra ke p ull the lever up slightly , press the ratchet knob, and fully lower the lever. In order to reduce the handb ra ke operational forces, depress the foot b rake at the same tim e. 114 Drivin g and operatio n Brake assist Wheels, tyres When the brake peda l is rap idly and forcefully depressed, the vehicle is automatically braked with ma ximum b ra ke force a mplification in order to obtain the shortest possib le brak ing distance during full-on bra king (brake assist). Suitable ty res or limitations 3 179. Maintain steady pressure on the brak e pedal for as long as full-on brak ing is to continue. When the brake ped al is released, the max imum brak e force amp lification is taken away. Ty res fitted in the factory are adapted to the chassis and provid e optimum driving comfort and sa fety. Changing tyre/wheel typ e If tyres of a different size than those fitted at the factory are used, it may be necessary to reprogram the electronic speedom eter and make other v ehicle modifications. After converting to a different tyre size, ha ve the adhesive label with ty re pressures replaced. 9 Warning Use of unsuitable tyres or wheels may lead to accidents and render the v ehicle unroadworthy. Fitti ng new tyr es Fit tyres in pa irs or in sets, which is even better. Ensure tha t tyres on one axle are z the same siz e, z the same design, z the same make, z and have the same tread pattern. Fit directional tyres such that they roll in the direction of trav el. The rolling direction is indicated by a symbol (e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall. Tyres fitted opposing the rolling direction (such as when changing a ty re) should b e refitted as soon as possible. This is the only way to benefit fully from the d esign properties of the tyre. Pay attention to legal requirements w hen disposing of ty res. Driving and o peration 115 Alw ays inflate the spare wheel 3 to the pressure specified for full load. Do not reduce ty re pressure when the tyres are wa rm. O therwise the pressure may drop b elow the perm issible minimum when the tyres cool down. After having chec ked the tyre pressure, tig hten the va lv e ca ps using the v alve cap key . Incorrect infla tion pressures will imp air safety, v ehicle handling, comfort and fuel economy and will increase tyre wear. Tyre pr essure Check ty re pressure at least ev ery 14 day s and prior to any long journey ; the tyres should be checked when cold. Don’t forget to chec k the spare 3.

Driving over sha rp edg es can cause tyre and wheel damage. Do not trap tyres on the kerb when pa rk ing. Tr ead depth Check tread depth regularly. Regula rly check the wheels for damag e. Seek the assistance of a workshop in the event of dam age or unusua l wear. The leg ally permissible minimum trea d depth (1.6 mm) has been reached when the tread has worn down as far as one of the wear indicators (TWI1 )). A number of wear indicators are sp aced at eq ual intervals around the tyre within the trea d. Their position is indicated by m arkings on the tyre sid ewall. For reasons of safety, ty res should be replaced when their tread depth has worn down to 2 to 3 mm (winter ty res: 4 mm ). 1) TWI = T rea d W ear In dica to r.

Wheel trims 3 The use of wheel trim s and tyres that Vauxhall has app rov ed for the vehicle and therefore fulfil all requirem ents for the app ropriate combination of wheels and tyres. If the wheel trims and tyres used are not Vauxhall-approved, the tyres must not have a b eaded edge. 118 Drivin g and operatio n Wheel trims must not imp air brak e cooling . Remove the wheel trims when using tyre chains 3 130. Remove the wheel trims if fitting tyre chains 3. Tyre cha ins may only be used at sp eeds up to 30 mph (50 km/h). When tra velling on roads that are free of snow, they may only be used for brief periods. 9 Warning Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel trim s could lead to sud den loss of a ir and thereby ac cidents. 9 Warning Dama ge m ay lead to ty re blowout. Tyre chains 3 Limitations 3 179. Ty re c hains are only perm itted on the driven wheels (front a xle). They m ust be fitted to the tyres symm etrically in order to achieve a concentric fit. Alw ays use fine mesh chains that add no more than 10 m m to the ty re tread and the inboard sides (including chain lock). Tyre chains must not be used on the temporary spare wheel. If y ou need to use tyre chains after suffering a flat front tyre, fit the temporary spa re on the rear ax le and transfer one of the rea r wheels to the front axle. Driving and o peration Roo f racks 3 Towing equipment 3 For safety reasons and to avoid roof dam age we recommend using the Vauxhall roof rac k system that is approved for your vehicle.

Caravan/trailer towing Cara van and trailer loa ds 1) The permissible caravan/trailer loads are vehicle and eng ine-dependent m aximum values which must not be exceed ed. The actual carav an/trailer load is the difference between the actual gross weight of the caravan/trailer and the actual coupling socket load with the caravan/trailer coupled. The permissible caravan/trailer loads are specified in the vehicle documents. In genera l, they are v alid for gradients up to max. 12%. 1) Obs erve na tiona l reg ula tio ns. 119 The permitted c aravan/trailer load a pplies up to the sp ecified inc line and up to a n altitude of 1000 m etres ab ov e sea lev el. S ince engine power decreases as altitud e increa ses b ecause of the air becoming thinner, therefore reducing climb ing ability, the permitted towing weight also decreases b y 10% for every 1000 metres of add itional altitude. The towing w eight does not have to be reduced when driv ing on roads with slig ht inclines (less than 8%, e.g. motorwa ys). The perm issible gross train weight must not be exceeded. This weight is specified on the identification plate 3 171. 120 Drivin g and operatio n Coup ling socket l oa d The c oupling socket load is the load exerted by the carav an/trailer on the coupling ball. It can b e varied by changing the w eight distribution when loa ding the carava n/trailer. C aravans/trailers with LED turn signa ls require a p rov ision that make bulb replacem ent as with stand ard bulbs possible. Handling is greatly influenced by the loading of the caravan/tra iler. Loads should therefore b e sec ured so that they cannot slip and be placed in the centre of the caravan/trailer if possible, i.e. ab ov e the axle. The ma ximum permissible coup ling socket load (50 kg) is specified on the towing equipm ent identification plate and in the vehic le documents. Alw ays aim for the max imum load, especia lly in the ca se of heav y carav ans/trailers. The c oupling soc ket load should nev er fall below 25 kg. When mea suring the coup ling socket load, mak e sure that the drawbar of the loa ded carava n/trailer is at the sa me height as it will be when the caravan/trailer is coupled with the towing vehicle load ed. Particularly important for caravans/trailers w ith tandem axle. Rear axle load during tow ing The p ermissible ax le loads must not be exceeded. In the case of trailers with low driv ing stability, d o not exceed a speed of 50 mp h (80 km/h); the use of a friction-typ e stabiliser is hig hly recomm ended. Dr iving charact eristi cs, towing tips In the case of caravans/trailers with brakes, attach break away stopping ca ble to eye. Before a tta ching the carava n/trailer, lubricate the ball of the ca ra van/trailer tow ing devic e. H ow ever, do not lubricate the ball if a stab iliser, which acts on the coupling b all, is being used to damp hunting. Check caravan/trailer lighting before starting to drive. The fog tail lights on the vehicle are deactiv ated w hen towing a caravan or trailer. If the caravan/trailer starts to sway , drive more slowly , do not attem pt to correct the steering and brake sha rp ly if necessary . If it is necessary to apply the brak es fully , depress the brak e pedal a s hard as possible. Remem ber that the braking d istance for vehicles towing carava ns/trailers with and without brake is always greater than that for vehic les not tow ing a carav an/trailer. When driving downhill, d riv e in the sa me gear as if driving uphill and d riv e at a similar speed. Adjust tyre pressure to the value specified for full load 3 115, 3 179. Self-help, vehicle care Self-help, vehicle care Diesel fuel system, bleeding . .... .... ..... .

Regula r, thorough care helps to imp rov e the a ppearance of your vehicle and maintain its value ov er the years. It is also prerequisite for warranty claim s for any paint or corrosion dam age. The following pages conta in tips for vehicle ca re which, if used properly, w ill help comb at the unavoidable damag ing effects of the env ironment. Washing The paintwork of your v ehicle is exposed to env ironmenta l influences. Wash a nd wax your vehicle regularly. When using automatic c ar washes, select a programm e that includes wax ing. Bird droppings, dead insects, resin, pollen and the like should be cleaned off immediately , as they contain aggressive constituents which can cause paint dam age. When using a car wa sh, follow the carwash manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off the windscreen wiper 3. Unscrew the antenna 3 and rem ove the roof rack 3 . If y ou w ash y our v ehicle by hand, make sure that the insides of the wing s a re also thoroughly rinsed out. Clean edges and folds on opened doors and flaps as well as the areas they cover. Thoroughly rinse off and leather-off the vehicle. Rinse leather frequently . Use separate leathers for paint and w indow surfaces: remnants of wax on the wind ow s will impair vision. Exterior lights Headlight and other lig ht lens are ma de of plastic. Do not use any a brasive or caustic agents, do not use an ice sc ra per, and do not clean them d ry . Pol ishi ng and w axing Wax the v ehicle regularly (at the latest when water no longer beads). Otherwise, the paintwork will d ry out. Plastic and rubb er parts Plastic and rubber parts can be cleaned with the same cleaner a s used to clean the body . Use interior c leaner if necessary. Do not use any other agent. Avoid solv ents and p etrol in particular. Do not use highpressure jet clea ners. Polishing is necessa ry only if the paint has become dull or if solid deposits have become attached to it. Pa intwork polish with silic one form s a protective film , ma king waxing unnec essary . Plastic body parts should not be treated with wax a nd polish. Wheels and tyres Do not use high-pressure jet clea ners. Clea n wheels with a pH-neutral wheel cleaner. Wheels are painted a nd can be treated with the same agents as the b ody. Pa intwork dam age Rectify m inor p aintwork damage with a touch-up p en b efore rust forms. Have more extensive dam age or rust areas repaired by a workshop. I nt eri or and upholstery C lean the vehicle interior, including the instrument panel fascia, using interior cleaner. The instrum ent panel is only to be cleaned with a soft, da mp cloth. C lean the fabric upholstery with a v acuum cleaner and brush. Remove sta ins with an upholstery cleaner. C lean seat belts with lukewa rm water or interior cleaner. Caution C lose Velcro fasteners as open Velcro fasteners on clothing could damag e seat upholstery. Self-help, vehicle care Windows and windscreen wip er b lades Use a soft lint-free cloth or chamois leather together with window cleaner and insect rem ov er. Engine com partm ent Clea n painted surfa ces in the engine compartment lik e any other painted surface. When c leaning the rear w indow, m ake sure the heating element inside the window is not damag ed. For best results, wa sh and w ax the engine compartment before a nd after winter. Before w ashing the engine, cover the alternator and brake fluid reserv oir with plastic sheeting. For mechanical removal of ice, use a sha rp edged ice scraper. Press the sc ra per firmly against the gla ss so tha t no dirt can get under it a nd scratch the glass. Clean smearing w iper blad es with a soft cloth and window cleaner. Locks The lock s a re lubricated at the fa ctory using a high quality lock c ylinder grease. Use d e-icing agent only where absolutely necessary, as this removes g rease a nd impairs lock function. After using de-icing agent, have the locks regreased by a workshop. When w ashing the engine with a steam-jet cleaner, do not direc t the steam jet at components of the anti-lock brake sy stem 3, the automatic a ir cond itioning sy stem 3 or the belt drive and its components. After an engine wash, have all engine room components preserved thoroughly by a work shop using protective wax . Do not use high-pressure jet clea ners. 155 Underbod y S om e areas of the vehicle underbody have a PVC undercoating while other critica l areas ha ve a durable protective wax coating. After the und erbody is w ashed, check the underbody and have more protective wax app lied if necessa ry . Bitumen/rubber m aterials could dam age the PVC coating . Hav e underb od y work carried out by a workshop. Before and after winter, w ash the underbody and have the protective wax coating checked . Towi ng eq uipment Do not clean the coupling ball b ar with a steam -jet or high-pressure jet cleaner. 156 Service and maintenance Service and maintenance Scheduled maintenance The service intervals app ly to normal op erating conditions.

Time allowances for such w ork are not included within the scope of a regular service and m ust be accounted for separately. However, it is more cost effective to carry out this work as part of a planned service than to hav e it done separately. Extreme operat ing condit ions o O perating conditions are consid ered extreme when one or m ore of the following occur frequently : z Cold starts, z Stop-and-go, z Caravan/trailer towing, z Driv ing on inclines and/or in high altitudes, z Poor road c onditions, z Sand and d ust, z Extreme temperature fluctuations. Police v ehicles, ta xis and driving school vehic les are also cla ssified as operating under extrem e c onditions. Und er extrem e operating conditions, it may be necessa ry to have certa in serv ice work carried out more frequently than the planned service interv als. We recommend obtaining technical a dvice for the service requirem ents of your v ehicle based on the special conditions of use. Reco mmended fluids and lubrican ts O nly use products w hich have been tested and a pproved. Damag e ca used by using non-approved operating m aterials is not covered by the warranty. 9 Warning Fuels are dangerous and require app ropriate care when handling. I f swallowed , immediately call a doctor. Do not inhale fumes and avoid c ontact with the skin. Keep out of the reach of children. Fuels m ust not be allowed to contaminate wastewater, ground water or soils. Dispose of empty containers properly . Always keep in mind that fuels are hazardous to health. Servic e and mainten ance Eng ine oi l Engine oil is identified b y its grade and viscosity . When choosing which engine oil to use, g ra de is more important than viscosity . Top ping up engi ne oil Oil from different manufacturers and of different brands can be mix ed prov iding they m eet the spec ified eng ine oil criteria (g ra de a nd viscosity). The new eng ine oil GM-Dex os 2 is of the highest quality available at the moment. If it is una vailable, engine oils of other listed qualities have to be used. Not ev ery engine oil a vailable on the market satisfies the q uality requirem ents, so alwa ys check whether the required specifications and c lassifications are written on the container. Eng ine oi l for Serv ice sc hedule GM-Dexos 2 = GM-LL-A-025 = Petrol a nd Diesel engines Petrol engines GM-LL-B-025 = Diesel engines GM General M otors Europe LL A or B Long life Details of engine oil g ra de 025 Validity code If an engine oil of the required grad e is not available, a m aximum of 1 litre of ACEA A3/B4 or A3/B3 grade may be used (only once between eac h oil cha nge). The viscosity should be of the correct rating. Using ca tegory AC EA A1/B1 and A5/B5 engine oil is expressly forbid den bec ause it can cause long-term d amage to the engine under certain operating conditions. 161 Engine oil add itiv es The use of engine oil additives ca n cause dam age and void the warranty. Engine oil vi sc osit y O nly use eng ine oils of viscosity 0W-30, 0W-40, 5W-30 or 5W-40. The SAE v iscosity classification defines the fluidity of the oil: the oil is more viscous when cold than when hot. Multigrade oil is indicated by two num bers. The first number followed by a W gives the viscosity at low temperature and the second number gives the viscosity at high temperature. 162 Service and maintenance The service interval display takes account of off-the-road p eriods during which the battery is d isconnected. Flexible serv ice interva l 3 The length of the service intervals is based on several parameters stemming from usage. For this reason, various engine-spec ific data is continually gathered and is used to calculate the remaining distance until the next serv ic e. Inspection system In order to ensure economica l and safe vehic le operation a nd to maintain the value of your vehicle, it is of vital importance tha t all maintenance work is carried out at the p roper intervals as specified. Fixed servic e i nt erv al When service is due, InSP ap pears in the odom eter display for approxima tely 10 second s w hen the ignition is switched on. Hav e the next service performed by a workshop within one week or 300 miles (500 km ), whichever occurs first. If the remaining dista nce is less than 1000 m iles (1500 km), I nSP is displa yed with a remaining distance of than 600 m iles (1000 km ) when the ignition is switched on and off. If less than 600 miles (1000 km ) remain, InSP is displayed for severa l second s. Have the next service performed by a workshop within one week or 300 m iles (500 km), w hichever occ urs first. Display of rema ining distance: 1. Sw itch off ignition. 2. Briefly press the trip odometer reset button. The odometer reading is shown. 3. Press and hold the reset button for about 2 seconds.

These parts have undergone special tests to establish their reliab ility , safety and specific suitability for Vauxhall vehicles. Despite continuous market monitoring, we cannot assess or guarantee these attributes for other products, ev en if they have been granted approva l by the relevant authorities or in som e other form. "Vauxhall genuine parts and accessories" and conversion parts approved by Vauxhall can be obtained from your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who can provide comprehensive ad vice on permitted technic al changes and ensure correct installation. Performing wo rk To avoid injury from moving p arts a nd cables conducting ignition volta ge, only carry out engine compartment checks (e.g. checking brake fluid or engine oil level) when the ignition is switched off. 9 Warning Only p erform engine compartment checks when the ignition is off. The cooling fan may start operating even if the ignition is off. 9 Warning The ignition system 3 and Xenon hea dlights 3 use ex tremely high voltage. Do not touch. To aid identification, the cap s used when topping up engine oil, coolant and wash fluid as w ell as the oil d ip stick are coloured y ellow. 164 Service and maintenance Engine oil O n vehicles w ith engine oil level check 3, the engine oil level is m onitored automatically 3 67. We recommend that you check the engine oil level before starting a long journey. C aution Imp ortant: It is the owner’s resp onsibility to maintain the correct lev el of an appropriate quality oil in the engine. Check with the v ehicle on a level surface. The engine must be at operating temperature and switched off for a t least 5 minutes. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, insert it to the stop on the handle, p ull out and read the engine oil level. Push in the oil dipstick up to the stop on the handle and give it half a turn. Different dipsticks are used d epend ing on eng ine variant. When the engine oil level has dropped to the MIN mark, top up engine oil. Caution Do not allow the engine oil to drop below the m inim um level. Servic e and mainten ance We recommend that you use the sam e engine oil as was used the last tim e it w as topped up. The engine oil lev el must not ex ceed the MAX mark on the dipstick. Ca ution If there is too much engine oil, the ex cess must b e drained or suc tioned out. 165 The amount must be between the M IN and MAX m arks 3 182. Fit the ca p on straight and tig hten it. 166 Service and maintenance Diesel fuel filter Coo lant O n the event of eng ine oil change, have fuel filter checked for possible water residue by a workshop. The coola nt provides antifreeze p rotection down to approx. -28 °C . Ca ution Illumination of A indicates wa ter in the fuel filter 3. Hav e fuel filter checked at shorter intervals if the v ehicle is subjected to extrem e opera ting conditions such as hig h humidity (primarily in coastal areas), extrem ely high or low outside temperatures a nd sub stantially v arying day tim e a nd night-tim e temperatures. Only use approved antifreeze. Coolant additives for ad ditional corrosion protection and sealing small leaks can c ause operation problem s. N o lia bility is accepted for da mage caused by using coolant additives. . 9 Warning Antifreeze is a danger to hea lth; it must therefore be k ept in the orig inal container and out of the reach of children. Anti freeze a nd corrosion prot ect ion Hav e the concentration of the radiator contents tested by a workshop before winter starts. The amount of a ntifreeze must provide protection down to app rox . -28 °C. A lower a ntifreeze concentration will reduce the amount of protection from frost and corrosion. Add antifreeze if nec essary . If c oolant loss is topped up with wa ter, have concentration check ed a nd add antifreeze if necessary. Servic e and mainten ance Top up with antifreez e. I f no antifreeze is available, fill with clean tap water or distilled water. Have the antifreeze concentration checked. Have the cause of coolant loss rectified by a workshop. Ca ution Too low a coolant lev el can c ause engine d amage. Fit the cap on straight and tighten it. Coola nt level In a closed cooling sy stem, there is hardly any loss. When the cooling sy stem is cold, the level of coolant should lie above the KA LT/CO LD mark. Top up if the level is low. 9 Warning Allow the engine to cool before op ening the c ap. C arefully open the cap , relieving the pressure slowly. 167 Brakes A screeching noise indicates that the brak e lining is at its minimum thickness. C ontinued driving is possible. Have the brak e lining rep la ce a s soon as possible. O nce new brake lining s a re fitted, do not brak e unnecessarily hard for the first 125 m iles (200 km). 168 Service and maintenance Brake fluid 9 Warning Brake fluid is poisonous and corrosive. Do not allow it to come into contact with eyes, skin, fab rics or pa inted surfaces. Cha ng ing bra ke fluid Brake fluid is hy groscopic, i.e. it absorbs water. If the brakes b ecome hot, suc h as when d riv ing on long downhill stretches, vap our bubb les can form in the water, which can have an extrem ely adverse effect on braking power (depending on the proportion of w ater). Therefore, keep to the specified change intervals. 9 Warning Hav e the b ra ke fluid change performed by a workshop .

The direc tiv e is oriented to actual driving practices: Urba n driving is rated at approx. 1/ 3 and off-road driv ing with approx. 2/ 3 (urban and extra-urban consumption). C old sta rts a nd acceleration phases are also taken into considera tion. The specification of CO 2 emission is also a constituent of the directive. 175 The figures given m ust not be taken as a guarantee for the actual fuel consumption of a p artic ular vehicle. All va lues stem from the EU b ase model with standard equipment. The calculation of fuel consumption as spec ified by directive 2004/3/EC takes acc ount of the v ehicle’ s kerbweight, ascertained in accordance with the said regula tion. Optional ex tras may result in slightly higher fuel consumption and CO 2 emission lev els than those quoted. To convert l/100 k m into mpg, divide 282 by the number of litres/100 k m.
