Using the seat belt while pregnant 9 Warning The lap belt must be positioned as low as possible across the pelvis to prevent pressure on the abdomen. 35 Airbag system The airbag system consists of a number of individual systems depending on the scope of equipment. When triggered the airbags inflate within milliseconds. They also deflate so quickly that it is often unnoticeable during the collision. Notice Expiry dates for replacing the airbag system components may be found on the label inside the glovebox. Contact a workshop to have the airbag system components replaced. 9 Warning If handled improperly the airbag systems can be triggered in an explosive manner. 36 Seats, restraints Notice The airbag systems and belt pretensioner control electronics are located in the centre console area. Do not put any magnetic objects in this area. Do not fix any objects onto the airbag covers and do not cover them with other materials. Each airbag is triggered only once. Have deployed airbags replaced by a workshop. Furthermore, it might be necessary to have the steering wheel, the instrument panel, parts of the panelling, the door seals, handles and the seats replaced. Do not make any modifications to the airbag system as this will invalidate the vehicle type approval. When the airbags inflate escaping hot gases may cause burns. Control indicator v for airbag systems 3 59. Front airbag system The front airbag system consists of one airbag in the steering wheel and one in the instrument panel on the front passenger side. These can be identified by the word AIRBAG. The inflated airbags cushion the impact, thereby reducing the risk of injury to the upper body and head of the front seat occupants considerably. The front airbag system is triggered in the event of a front-end impact of a certain severity. The ignition must be switched on. 9 Warning Optimum protection is only provided when the seat is in the proper position 3 30. Keep the area in which the airbag inflates clear of obstructions. Seats, restraints Fit the seat belt correctly and engage securely. Only then the airbag is able to protect. Side airbag system 37 The inflated airbags cushion the impact, thereby reducing the risk of injury to the upper body and pelvis in the event of a side-on collision considerably. 9 Warning Keep the area in which the airbag inflates clear of obstructions. Notice Only use protective seat covers that have been approved for the vehicle. Be careful not to cover the airbags. Airbag deactivation The side airbag system consists of an airbag in each front seat backrest. This can be identified by the word AIRBAG. The side airbag system is triggered in the event of a side impact of a certain severity. The ignition must be switched on. The front passenger airbag system has to be deactivated if a child restraint system is to be fitted on this seat. The front passenger airbag system can be deactivated via the settings in the Info-Display. Deactivate the airbag system as follows: 1. Press SET ESC. 2.

Risk of fatal injury for an adult person on a seat with deactivated front passenger airbag. As long as the control indicator * is not illuminated, the front passenger airbag system will inflate in the event of a collision. If control indicators * and v are illuminated at the same time, there is a system failure. The status of the system is not discernible, therefore no person is allowed to occupy the front passenger seat. Contact a workshop immediately. Change status only when the vehicle is stopped. Status remains until the next change. Control indicator for airbag deactivation 3 59. Child restraints Child restraint systems We recommend the Vauxhall child restraint system which is tailored specifically to the vehicle. When a child restraint system is being used, pay attention to the following usage and installation instructions and also those supplied with the child restraint system. Always comply with local or national regulations. In some countries, the use of child restraint systems is forbidden on certain seats. 9 Warning When using a child restraint system on the front passenger seat, the airbag systems for the front passenger seat must be Seats, restraints deactivated; if not, the triggering of the airbags poses a risk of fatal injury to the child. This is especially the case if rearfacing child restraint systems are used on the front passenger seat. 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. Children under the age of 12 years that are smaller than 150 cm are only allowed to travel in a restraint system that is suitable for the child. Suitable are restraint systems that comply with ECE 44-03 or ECE 44-04. Since a proper position of the belt is rarely possible with a child that is smaller than 150 cm, we strongly advise the use of an appropriate child restraint system, even though this might, due to the age of the child, no longer be legally binding. 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. 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 stick 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. 39 40 Seats, restraints Child restraint installation locations Permissible options for fitting a child restraint system Front passenger seat Second row Third row Weight and age class activated airbag deactivated airbag outboard seat centre seat Group 0: up to 10 kg or approx. 10 months X U1 U, < U X Group 0+: up to 13 kg or approx. 2 years X U1 U, < U X Group I: 9 to 18 kg or approx. 8 months to 4 years X U1 U, < U X Group II: 15 to 25 kg or approx. 3 to 7 years X X U U X Group III: 22 to 36 kg or approx. 6 to 12 years X X U U X = Only if front airbag system is deactivated.

Mounting roof rack The lashing eyes are designed to secure items against slippage, e.g. using lashing straps or luggage net. To fasten a roof rack, insert the mounting bolts in the holes indicated in the illustration. Storage Loading information ■ Heavy objects in the load compartment should be evenly distributed and placed as far forward as possible. If objects can be stacked, the heavier objects should be placed at the bottom. ■ Secure objects with lashing straps attached to lashing eyes 3 48. ■ Secure loose objects in load compartment to prevent sliding. ■ Do not allow the load to protrude above the upper edge of the backrests. ■ Do not place any objects on the load compartment cover or the instrument panel. ■ The load must not obstruct the operation of the pedals, parking brake and gear selector, or hinder the freedom of movement of the driver. Do not place any unsecured objects in the interior. ■ Do not drive with an open load compartment. 9 Warning Always make sure that the load in the vehicle is securely stowed. Otherwise objects can be thrown around inside the vehicle and cause personal injury or damage to the load or car. ■ The payload is the difference between the permitted gross vehicle weight (see identification plate 3 131) and the EC kerb weight. To calculate the payload, enter the data for your vehicle in the Weights table at the front of this manual. The EC kerb weight includes weights for the driver (68 kg), luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (tank 90 % full). Optional equipment and accessories increase the kerb weight. ■ Driving with a roof load increases the sensitivity of the vehicle to cross-winds and has a detrimental 49 effect on vehicle handling due to the vehicle's higher centre of gravity. Distribute the load evenly and secure it properly with retaining straps. Adjust the tyre pressure and vehicle speed according to the load conditions. Check and retighten the straps frequently. The permissible roof load (which includes the weight of the roof rack) is 100 kg. The roof load is the combined weight of the roof rack and the load. 50 Instruments and controls Instruments and controls Controls Steering wheel controls Steering wheel adjustment Controls ....................................... 50 Warning lights, gauges and indicators ..................................... 55 Information displays ..................... 64 Vehicle messages ........................ 65 Trip computer ............................... 66 Unlock lever, adjust steering wheel, then engage lever and ensure it is fully locked.

Deactivate the stop-start system manually by pressing the ^ button in the centre console. The deactivation is indicated by the LED in the button illuminating. An Autostop is indicated when ^ flashes in the driver information centre. The stop-start system helps to save fuel and to reduce the exhaust emissions. When conditions allow, it switches off the engine as soon as the vehicle is at a low speed or at a standstill, e.g. at a traffic light or in a traffic jam. It starts the engine automatically as soon as the clutch is depressed. A battery sensor ensures that an Autostop is only performed if the battery is sufficiently charged for a restart. Activation The stop-start system is available as soon as the engine is started, the vehicle starts-off and the conditions as stated below in this section are fulfilled. Autostop If the vehicle is at a low speed or at a standstill, activate an Autostop as follows: ■ Depress the clutch pedal ■ set the lever in neutral ■ release the clutch pedal Caution The steering assist can be reduced during an Autostop. Conditions for an Autostop The stop-start system checks if each of the following conditions is fulfilled. Otherwise an Autostop will be inhibited. Driving and operating ■ The stop-start system is not manually deactivated ■ the driver's door is closed or the driver's seat belt is fastened ■ the battery is sufficiently charged and in good condition ■ the engine is warmed up ■ the ambient temperature is not too low ■ the climate control system does not inhibit an Autostop ■ the self-cleaning function of the diesel particle filter is not active ■ the vehicle has moved since the last Autostop ■ the brake vacuum is sufficient ■ the windscreen wipers are operating at fast speed ■ reverse gear is selected Ambient temperature near to the freezing point can inhibit an Autostop. Certain settings of the climate control system may inhibit an Autostop. See climate control chapter for more details. For manual transmission automated vehicles, an Autostop may be inhibited until a speed of about 6 mph is reached. New vehicle running-in 3 78. Battery discharge protection To ensure reliable engine restarts, several battery discharge protection features are implemented as part of the stop-start system. Restart the engine Manual transmission The selector lever has to be in neutral to enable an automatic restart. Depress the clutch pedal to restart the engine. Manual transmission automated If the lever is in position N, select another gear, otherwise release the brake pedal or move the lever to +, – or R. When one of the following conditions occurs during an Autostop, the engine will need to be restarted manually using the key. 81 ■ the driver's seat belt is unfastened and the driver's door is opened ■ three minutes have elapsed since the engine switched off If an electrical accessory, e.g. a portable CD player, is connected to the power outlet, a brief power drop during restart might be noticeable. Parking ■ Do not park the vehicle on an easily ignitable surface. The high temperature of the exhaust system could ignite the surface. ■ Always apply parking brake. Apply manual parking brake without pressing release button. Apply as firmly as possible on downhill or uphill slopes. Depress the foot brake at the same time to reduce operating force. ■ Switch off the engine and ignition. Turn the steering wheel until the steering wheel lock engages. ■ If the vehicle is on a level surface or uphill slope, engage first gear. On 82 Driving and operating an uphill slope, turn the front wheels away from the kerb. If the vehicle is on a downhill slope, engage reverse gear. Turn the front wheels towards the kerb. ■ Lock the vehicle. Engine exhaust 9 Danger Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide, which is colourless and odourless and could be fatal if inhaled. If exhaust gases enter the interior of the vehicle, open the windows. Have the cause of the fault rectified by a workshop. Avoid driving with an open load compartment, otherwise exhaust gases could enter the vehicle. Diesel particle filter The diesel particle filter system filters harmful soot particles out of the exhaust gases. The system includes a self-cleaning function that runs automatically during driving without any notification. The filter is cleaned by periodically burning off the soot particles at high temperature. This process takes place automatically under set driving conditions and may take up to 25 minutes. Typically it needs 15 minutes. Autostop is not available and fuel consumption may be higher during this period. The emission of smells and smoke during this process is normal. Under certain driving conditions, e.g. short distances, the system cannot clean itself automatically. If the cleaning of the filter is required and if previous driving conditions did not enable automatic cleaning, it will be indicated by control indicator [. Simultaneously a message may appear in the Driver Information Centre. [ illuminates when diesel particle filter is full. Start cleaning process as soon as possible. Cleaning process To activate cleaning process, continue driving, keep engine speed above 2000 revolutions per minute. Shift down if necessary. Diesel particle filter cleaning is then started. Driving and operating Caution If the cleaning process is interrupted, there is a risk of provoking severe engine damage. Cleaning takes place quickest at high engine speeds and loads. The control indicator [ extinguishes as soon as the self-cleaning operation is complete. Catalytic converter The catalytic converter reduces the amount of harmful substances in the exhaust gases. Caution Fuel grades other than those listed on pages 3 93, 3 133 could damage the catalytic converter or electronic components. Unburnt petrol will overheat and damage the catalytic converter. Therefore avoid excessive use of the starter, running the fuel tank dry and starting the engine by pushing or towing. 83 Manual transmission In the event of misfiring, uneven engine running, a reduction in engine performance or other unusual problems, have the cause of the fault rectified 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. To engage reverse, with the vehicle stationary wait 3 seconds after depressing the clutch pedal and then press the release button on the selector lever and engage the gear. If the gear does not engage, set the lever to neutral, release the clutch pedal and depress again; then repeat gear selection. Do not grind the clutch unnecessarily. When operating, depress the clutch pedal completely. Do not use the pedal as a foot rest. 84 Driving and operating Caution It is not advisable to drive with the hand resting on the selector lever. Manual transmission automated The manual transmission automated (MTA) permits manual (manual mode) or automatic gear shifting (automatic mode), both with automatic clutch control. Transmission display Starting the engine Depress the foot brake when starting the engine. If the foot brake is not depressed, a warning message appears in the driver information centre in conjuction with an audible warning. When the foot brake is depressed, the transmission automatically shifts to N (neutral) and the engine can be started. There may be a slight delay. Selector lever Shows the mode and current gear. Driving and operating Always move the selector lever in the appropriate direction as far as it will go. Upon release, it automatically returns to the centre position. N = Neutral. A/ = Switch between automatic M and manual mode. The transmission display shows AUTO when in automatic mode. R = Reverse gear. Engage only when vehicle is stationary. The transmission display shows "R" when reverse gear is engaged. + = Shift to a higher gear. = Shift to a lower gear. Starting off When the engine is started depress the foot brake and move the selector lever towards + to engage first gear. Shift to a higher or lower gear by moving selector lever to + or -. Gears can be skipped by moving the selector lever repeatedly at short intervals. The driver will be alerted to an incorrect gear selection by an audible warning in conjunction with a message in the instrument display. The system will downshift selecting the most appropriate gear automatically. If R is selected, reverse gear is engaged. The vehicle starts to move when the foot brake is released. To start off quickly, release the foot brake and accelerate immediately after engaging a gear. Move the selector lever towards A/M to engage automatic mode, the transmission shifts to other gears automatically, dependent on driving conditions. To engage manual mode, move the selector lever towards A/M. The current gear will appear in the transmission display. To engage first gear, depress foot brake and move selector lever towards + or -. Shift to a higher or lower gear by moving selector lever to 85 + or -. Gears can be skipped by moving the selector lever repeatedly at short intervals. Stopping the vehicle In automatic or manual mode, first gear is engaged and the clutch is released when the vehicle is stopped. In R, reverse gear remains engaged. When stopping on gradients, engage parking brake or depress the foot brake. To prevent overheating of the clutch, an intermittent audible warning may sound as a signal to depress the foot brake or apply the parking brake. Switch off engine if stopping for a lengthy period, e.g. in traffic jams. When the vehicle is parked and the driver's door is opened, a warning chime will sound if neutral is not selected or the foot brake has not been depressed. 86 Driving and operating Engine braking Automatic mode When driving downhill, the manual transmission automated does not shift into higher gears until a fairly high engine speed has been reached. It shifts down in good time when braking. Manual mode To utilise the engine braking effect, select a lower gear in good time when driving downhill. Rocking the vehicle Rocking the vehicle is only permissible if the vehicle is stuck in sand, mud, snow or a hole. Move the selector lever between R and A/M (or between + and -) in a repeat pattern, while applying light pressure to the accelerator pedal. Do not race the engine and avoid sudden acceleration. Parking Apply the parking brake. The most recently engaged gear (see transmission display) remains engaged. With N, no gear is engaged. When the ignition is switched off, the transmission no longer responds to movement of the selector lever. If the ignition is not switched off, or the parking brake has not been applied, a warning chime will sound upon opening the driver's door. Electronic driving programmes Eco mode E Manual mode If engine speed is too low, the transmission automatically shifts to a lower gear. If engine speed is too high, the transmission only switches to a higher gear via kickdown. When automatic mode is engaged, the Eco mode can be selected to reduce fuel consumption. Eco mode selects the most suitable gear depending on the speed of the vehicle, the engine speed and the intensity with which the accelerator is pressed. Driving and operating Activation Press the E button on the selector lever housing. Control indicator E is shown in the transmission display to indicate activation. If engine speed is too high the transmission switches to a higher gear, even in manual mode. Without kickdown this automatic shift is not effected in manual mode. Deactivation Eco mode is switched off by: ■ pressing the E button again, ■ switching to manual mode. In order to protect the transmission at extremely high clutch temperatures, an intermittent audible warning may sound. In such cases, depress the foot brake, select "N" and apply the parking brake to allow the clutch to cool down. Fault Kickdown If the accelerator pedal is pressed past the pressure point, the transmission shifts to a lower gear depending on engine speed. Full engine power is available for acceleration. In the event of a fault, control indicator W is shown in the transmission display. Continued driving is possible provided the vehicle is driven with care and anticipation. A warning message may appear in the driver information centre in conjunction with an audible warning. Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop. 87 Brakes The brake system comprises two independent brake circuits. If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can still be braked using the other brake circuit. However, braking effect is achieved only when the brake pedal is depressed firmly. Considerably more force is needed for this. The braking distance is extended. Seek the assistance of a workshop before continuing your journey. When the engine is not running, the support of the brake servo unit disappears once the brake pedal has been depressed once or twice. Braking effect is not reduced, but braking requires significantly greater force. It is especially important to bear this in mind when being towed. Control indicator R 3 60. Antilock brake system Antilock brake system (ABS) prevents the wheels from locking. 88 Driving and operating ABS starts to regulate brake pressure as soon as a wheel shows a tendency to lock. The vehicle remains steerable, even during hard braking. ABS control is made apparent through a pulse in the brake pedal and the noise of the regulation process. For optimum braking, keep the brake pedal fully depressed throughout the braking process, despite the fact that the pedal is pulsating. Do not reduce the pressure on the pedal. After starting off the system performs a self-test which may be audible. Control indicator u 3 61. hard braking, the vehicle can no longer be steered and may swerve. Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop. Parking brake Manual parking brake Fault 9 Warning If there is a fault in the ABS, the wheels may be liable to lock due to braking that is heavier than normal. The advantages of ABS are no longer available. During To release the parking brake, pull the lever up slightly, press the release button and fully lower the lever. To reduce the operating forces of the parking brake, depress the foot brake at the same time. Control indicator R 3 60. Brake assist If the brake pedal is depressed quickly and forcefully, maximum brake force is automatically applied (full braking). Maintain steady pressure on the brake pedal for as long as full braking is required. Maximum brake force is automatically reduced when the brake pedal is released. Hill start assist Always apply parking brake firmly without operating the release button, and apply as firmly as possible on a downhill or uphill slope. The system helps prevent unintended movement when driving away on inclines. When releasing the foot brake after stopping on an incline, the brakes remain on for a further two seconds. Driving and operating The brakes release automatically as soon as the vehicle begins to accelerate. Ride control systems Traction Control system The Anti-Slip Regulator (ASR) is a component of the Electronic Stability Control system. ASR improves driving stability when necessary, regardless of the type of road surface or tyre grip, by preventing the drive wheels from spinning. As soon as the drive wheels starts to spin, engine output is reduced and the wheel spinning the most is braked individually. This considerably improves the driving stability of the vehicle on slippery road surfaces. ASR is operational as soon as the control indicator x extinguishes. When ASR is active x flashes. 89 9 Warning Do not let this special safety feature tempt you into taking risks when driving. Adapt speed to the road conditions. Deactivation ASR can be switched off when spinning of drive wheels is required: press button ASR OFF briefly. LED in button illuminates and a message appears in the driver information centre. 90 Driving and operating ASR is reactivated by pressing the ASR OFF button again. ASR is also reactivated the next time the ignition is switched on. Fault ASR will switch off automatically in the event of a fault. Control indicator x will illuminate in the instrument cluster in conjunction with a message in the driver information centre. Seek the assistance of a workshop. Control indicator x 3 61. Electronic stability program Electronic Stability Program (ESP) improves driving stability when necessary, regardless of the type of road surface or tyre grip. It also prevents the drive wheels from spinning. As soon as the vehicle starts to swerve (understeer/oversteer), engine output is reduced and the wheels are braked individually. This considerably improves the driving stability of the vehicle on slippery road surfaces. ESP is operational as soon as control indicator x extinguishes. When ESP comes into action x flashes. The ESP system is automatically activated when the vehicle is started and cannot be de-activated 9 Warning Do not let this special safety feature tempt you into taking risks when driving. Adapt speed to the road conditions. Fault In the event of a fault, the ESP will be automatically switched off and control indicator x will illuminate in the instrument cluster in conjunction with a message in the driver information centre. The LED on the ASR OFF button will also illuminate. Seek the assistance of a workshop. Control indicator x 3 61. Driving and operating Cruise control The cruise control can store and maintain speeds above approx. 20 mph. Deviations from the stored speeds may occur when driving uphill or downhill. Switching on Reduce speed Activation Deactivation Increase speed Resume stored speed Turn end of lever ON, control indicator m illuminates in the instrument cluster in conjunction with a message in the driver information centre. Accelerate to the desired speed and push lever upwards +, the current speed is stored and maintained. Accelerator pedal can be released. Vehicle speed can be increased by depressing the accelerator pedal. When the accelerator pedal is released, the previously stored speed is resumed. Do not use the cruise control if it is not advisable to maintain a constant speed. Control indicator m 3 63. With cruise control active, push lever upwards + or briefly push lever upwards + repeatedly: speed increases continuously or in small increments. Alternatively accelerate to the desired speed and store by pushing lever upwards +. 91 With cruise control active, push lever downwards - or briefly push lever downwards - repeatedly: speed decreases continuously or in small increments. Automatic deactivation: ■ vehicle speed below approx. 20 mph, ■ the brake pedal is depressed, ■ the clutch pedal is depressed, ■ the Traction Control system or Electronic Stability Control is operating. Press button = at a speed above 20 mph. The stored speed will be obtained. Switching off Turn end of lever OFF, control indicator m extinguishes. The stored speed is deleted. Switching off the ignition also deletes the stored speed. 92 Driving and operating Object detection systems Parking assist Fault In the event of a fault in the system, r illuminates and a message is displayed in the driver information centre. Additionally, r illuminates and a vehicle message is displayed in the driver information centre if a malfunction of the system due to temporary conditions like snow covered sensors is detected. Important hints for using the parking assist systems 9 Warning The parking assist makes parking easier by measuring the distance between the vehicle and obstacles, and giving acoustic signals. It is the driver, however, who bears full responsibility for the parking manoeuvre. The system consists of four ultrasonic parking sensors in the rear bumper. Control indicator r 3 61. Under certain circumstances, various reflective surfaces on objects or clothing as well as external noise sources may cause the system to fail to detect obstacles. Special attention has to be paid to low obstacles which can damage the lower part of the bumper. If such obstacles leave the detection area of the sensors during approach of the vehicle, a continuous warning tone will sound. Caution Performance of the sensor can be reduced when sensors are covered, e.g. by ice or snow. Performance of the parking assist systems can be reduced due to heavy loading. Special conditions apply if there are taller vehicles involved (e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans, vans). Object identification in the upper part of these vehicles cannot be guaranteed. Objects with a very small reflection cross section, like objects of narrow size or soft materials, may not be detected by the system. Parking assist will not avoid a collision with objects which are out of the detection range of the sensors. Driving and operating Notice The parking assist system automatically detects factory-fitted towing equipment. It is deactivated when the connector is plugged in. The sensor may detect a nonexistent object (echo disturbance) caused by external acoustic or mechanical disturbances. Fuel 93 Caution Fuel for petrol engines Only use unleaded fuel that complies with EN 228. Equivalent standardised fuels with an ethanol content of max. 10 % by volume may be used. In this case only use fuel that complies with E DIN 51626-1. Use fuel with the recommended octane rating 3 133. Use of fuel with too low an octane rating can reduce engine power and torque and slightly increases fuel consumption. Caution Use of fuel that does not comply to EN 228 or similar can lead to deposits or engine damage and loss of warranty. Use of fuel with too low an octane rating could lead to uncontrolled combustion and engine damage. Fuel for diesel engines Only use diesel fuel that complies with EN 590. In countries outside the European Union use Euro-Diesel fuel with a sulphur concentration below 50 ppm. Caution Use of fuel that does not comply with EN 590 or similar can lead to engine power loss, increased wear or engine damage and loss of warranty. Do not use marine diesel oils, heating oils, Aquazole and similar dieselwater emulsions. Diesel fuels must not be diluted with fuels for petrol engines. 94 Driving and operating Fuel for natural gas operation Use natural gas with a methane content of approx. 78 - 99 %. L-gas (low) has approx. 78 - 87 % and H-gas (high) has approx. 87 - 99 %. Biogas with the same methane content can also be used if it has been chemically prepared and desulphurised. Only use natural gas or biogas that complies with DIN 51624. Liquid gas or LPG must not be used. Fuel selector Pressing button Y in the centre console switches between petrol and natural gas operation. The LED 1 status shows the current operating mode. 1 off = natural gas operation. 1 illuminates = petrol operation. As soon as the natural gas tanks are empty, petrol operation is automatically engaged. Control indicator Y illiminates in the driver information centre until the ignition is switched off. A slight loss of power and torque can be expected in petrol operation. You must therefore adapt your driving style (e.g. during overtaking manoeuvres) and vehicle loads (e.g. towing loads) accordingly. Every six months run the petrol tank down until control indicator § illuminates and refuel. This is necessary to maintain fuel quality as well as system function necessary for petrol operation. Fill the tank completely at regular intervals to prevent corrosion in the tank. Refuelling Fuel filler flap is located at left rear side of vehicle. 9 Danger Before refuelling, switch off engine and any external heaters with combustion chambers. Switch off any mobile phones. Follow the operating and safety instructions of the filling station when refuelling. Caution When refuelling, do not open the left-hand sliding side door with the fuel cap open. To avoid damage, ensure the fuel cap is closed while opening/closing the sliding side door. Driving and operating Close the flap. 9 Danger Fuel filler cap Fuel is flammable and explosive. No smoking. No naked flames or sparks. If you can smell fuel in your vehicle, have the cause of this remedied immediately by a workshop. Caution In case of misfuelling, do not switch on ignition. Release the fuel filler flap by pulling the flap. Insert key into fuel filler cap and turn to the left. To remove fuel filler cap, rotate anticlockwise 95 Only use genuine fuel filler caps. Diesel-engined vehicles have special fuel filler caps. The fuel filler cap can be retained in the bracket on the fuel filler flap. For refuelling, fully insert the pump nozzle and switch it on. After automatic cut-off, it can be topped up with max. two doses of fuel. Caution Wipe off any overflowing fuel immediately. To close, replace fuel filler cap and turn to the right. Turn key clockwise and remove. 96 Driving and operating Towing General information Only use towing equipment that has been approved for your vehicle. Vehicles with natural gas engine may require special towing equipment. Entrust retrofitting of towing equipment to a workshop. It may be necessary to make changes that affect the cooling system, heat shields or other equipment. Fitting of towing equipment could cover the opening of the towing eye. If this is the case use the coupling ball bar for towing. Always keep the coupling ball bar in the vehicle. Driving characteristics and towing tips Before attaching a trailer, lubricate the coupling ball. However, do not do so if a stabiliser, which acts on the coupling ball, is being used to reduce snaking movements. For trailers with low driving stability and caravan trailers with a permitted gross vehicle weight of more than 1300 kg the use of a stabiliser is strongly recommended when driving above 50 mph. If the trailer starts snaking, drive more slowly, do not attempt to correct the steering and brake sharply if necessary. When driving downhill, drive in the same gear as if driving uphill and drive at a similar speed. Adjust tyre pressure to the value specified for full load 3 138. Trailer towing Trailer loads The permissible trailer loads are vehicle and engine-dependent maximum values which must not be exceeded. The actual trailer load is the difference between the actual gross weight of the trailer and the actual coupling socket load with the trailer coupled. The permissible trailer loads are specified in the vehicle documents. In general, they are valid for gradients up to max. 12 %. The permitted trailer load applies up to the specified incline and up to an altitude of 1000 metres above sea level. Since engine power decreases as altitude increases due to the air becoming thinner, therefore reducing climbing ability, the permissible gross train weight also decreases by 10 % for every 1000 metres of additional altitude. The gross train weight does not have to be reduced when driving on roads with slight inclines (less than 8 %, e.g. motorways). The permissible gross train weight must not be exceeded. This weight is specified on the identification plate 3 131. Vertical coupling load The vertical coupling load is the load exerted by the trailer on the coupling ball. It can be varied by changing the weight distribution when loading the trailer. Driving and operating The maximum permissible vertical coupling load (75 kg) is specified on the towing equipment identification plate and in the vehicle documents. Always aim for the maximum load, especially in the case of heavy trailers. The vertical coupling load should never fall below 25 kg. Rear axle load The permissible axle loads (see identification plate or vehicle documents) must not be exceeded. 97 98 Vehicle care Vehicle care General Information ..................... 98 Vehicle checks ............................. 99 Bulb replacement ....................... 105 Electrical system ........................ 109 Vehicle tools .............................. 113 Wheels and tyres ....................... 114 Jump starting ............................. 122 Towing ....................................... 124 Appearance care ....................... 125 General Information Vehicle storage Accessories and vehicle modifications Storage for a long period of time We recommend the use of genuine parts and accessories and factory approved parts specific for your vehicle type.

Engage first or reverse gear to prevent the vehicle from rolling. ■ Do not apply the parking brake. Vehicle care ■ Open the bonnet, close all doors and lock the vehicle. ■ Disconnect the clamp from the negative terminal of the vehicle battery. Beware that all systems are not functional, e.g. anti-theft locking system. Putting back into operation When the vehicle is to be put back into operation: ■ Connect the clamp to the negative terminal of the vehicle battery. Activate the electronics of the power windows. ■ Check tyre pressure. ■ Fill up the washer fluid reservoir. ■ Check the engine oil level. ■ Check the coolant level. ■ Fit the number plates if necessary. End-of-life vehicle recovery Information on end-of-life vehicle recovery centres and the recycling of end-of-life vehicles is available on our website. Only entrust this work to an authorised recycling centre. Natural gas vehicles must be recycled by a service centre authorised for natural gas vehicles. 99 Vehicle checks Performing work 9 Warning Only perform engine compartment checks when the ignition is off. The cooling fan may start operating even if the ignition is off. 100 Vehicle care Closing 9 Danger Lower the bonnet and allow it to drop into the catch. Check that the bonnet is engaged. The ignition system use extremely high voltage. Do not touch. Engine oil Bonnet Opening Push the safety catch and open the bonnet. Check the engine oil level manually on a regular basis to prevent damage to the engine. Ensure that the correct specification of oil is used. Recommended fluids and lubricants 3 129. Check with the vehicle on a level surface. The engine must be at operating temperature and switched off for at least 5 minutes. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, insert it to the stop on the handle, pull out and read the engine oil level. Caution Pull the release lever and return it to its original position. Secure the bonnet support. It is the owner's responsibility to maintain the proper level of an appropriate quality oil in the engine. Vehicle care 101 Engine coolant Insert dipstick to the stop on the handle and make half a turn. The coolant provides freeze protection down to approx. -28 °C. Caution Only use approved antifreeze. Coolant level Caution When the engine oil level has dropped to the MIN mark, top up engine oil. We recommend the use of the same grade of engine oil that was used at last change. The engine oil level must not exceed the MAX mark on the dipstick. Caution Overfilled engine oil must be drained or suctioned out. Capacities 3 137. Fit the cap on straight and tighten it. Too low a coolant level can cause engine damage. 102 Vehicle care If the cooling system is cold, the coolant level should be between the MIN and MAX mark. Top up if the level is low. Power steering fluid Washer fluid If the fluid level in the reservoir falls below the MIN mark consult a workshop. Fill with clean water mixed with a suitable quantity of windscreen washer fluid which contains antifreeze. 9 Warning Allow the engine to cool before opening the cap. Carefully open the cap, relieving the pressure slowly. To top up use a 1:1 mixture of released coolant concentrate mixed with clean tap water. If no coolant concentrate is available, use clean tap water. Install the cap tightly. Have the coolant concentration checked and have the cause of the coolant loss remedied by a workshop. Caution Only washer fluid with a sufficient antifreeze concentration provides protection at low temperatures or a sudden drop in temperature. Vehicle care Brakes A squealing noise, or illumination of brake pad wear control indicator F indicates that the brake lining is at its minimum thickness. Continued driving is possible but have the brake linings replaced as soon as possible. Once new brake linings are installed, do not brake unnecessarily hard for the first few journeys. Brake pad wear indicator F 3 61. Brake fluid 9 Warning Brake fluid is poisonous and corrosive. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, fabrics and painted surfaces. 103 battery. Short-distance-driving and frequent engine starts can discharge the battery. Avoid the use of unnecessary electrical consumers. The brake fluid level must be between the MIN and MAX marks. When topping up, ensure maximum cleanliness as contamination of the brake fluid can lead to brake system malfunctions. Have the cause of the loss of brake fluid remedied by a workshop. Only use high-performance brake fluid approved for the vehicle. Battery The vehicle battery is maintenancefree provided that the driving profile allows sufficient charging of the Batteries do not belong in household waste. They must be disposed of at an appropriate recycling collection point. Laying up the vehicle for more than 4 weeks can lead to battery discharge. Disconnect the clamp from the negative terminal of the vehicle battery. Ensure the ignition is switched off before connecting or disconnecting the vehicle battery. The anti-theft alarm siren must be deactivated as follows: Switch the ignition on then off, disconnect the vehicle's battery within 15 seconds. 104 Vehicle care Replacing the battery Notice Any deviation from the instructions given in this paragraph may lead to a temporary deactivation of the stopstart system.

Driving over sharp edges can cause tyre and wheel damage. Do not trap tyres on the kerb when parking. Regularly check the wheels for damage. Seek the assistance of a workshop in the event of damage or unusual wear. Winter tyres Winter tyres improve driving safety at temperatures below 7 °C and should therefore be fitted on all wheels. Tyres of size 185/65 R15, 195/65 R15 and 195/60 R16 C are permitted as winter tyres. In accordance with country-specific regulations, affix the speed sticker in the driver's field of view. Tyre designations E.g. 215/60 R 16 95 H 215 = Tyre width, mm 60 = Cross-section ratio (tyre height to tyre width), % R = Belt type: Radial RF = Type: RunFlat C = Cargo or commercial use 16 = Wheel diameter, inches 95 = Load index e.g. 95 is equivalent to 690 kg H = Speed code letter Speed code letter: Q = up to 100 mph S = up to 112 mph T = up to 118 mph H = up to 130 mph V = up to 150 mph W = up to 168 mph Tyre pressure Check the pressure of cold tyres at least every 14 days and before any long journey. Do not forget the spare wheel. This also applies to vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring system. Unscrew the valve cap. Tyre pressure 3 138 and on the label on the door frame. The tyre pressure data refers to cold tyres. It applies to summer and winter tyres. Always inflate the spare tyre to the pressure specified for full load. The ECO tyre pressure serves to achieve the smallest amount of fuel consumption possible. Incorrect tyre pressures will impair safety, vehicle handling, comfort and fuel economy and will increase tyre wear. 9 Warning If the pressure is too low, this can result in considerable tyre warmup and internal damage, leading to tread separation and even to tyre blow-out at high speeds. Tread depth Check tread depth at regular intervals. Vehicle care Tyres should be replaced for safety reasons at a tread depth of 2-3 mm (4 mm for winter tyres). Tyres age, even if they are not used. We recommend tyre replacement every 6 years. Changing tyre and wheel size The legally permissible minimum tread depth (1.6 mm) has been reached when the tread has worn down as far as one of the tread wear indicators (TWI). Their position is indicated by markings on the sidewall. If there is more wear at the front than the rear, swap round front wheels and rear wheels periodically. Ensure that the direction of rotation of the wheels is the same as before. If tyres of a different size than those fitted at the factory are used, it may be necessary to reprogramme the speedometer as well as the nominal tyre pressure and make other vehicle modifications. After converting to a different tyre size, have the label with tyre pressures replaced. 9 Warning Use of unsuitable tyres or wheels may lead to accidents and will invalidate the vehicle type approval. 115 Wheel covers Wheel covers and tyres that are factory approved for the respective vehicle and comply with all of the relevant wheel and tyre combination requirements must be used. If the wheel covers and tyres used are not factory approved, the tyres must not have a rim protection ridge. Wheel covers must not impair brake cooling. 9 Warning Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel covers could lead to sudden pressure loss and thereby accidents. 116 Vehicle care Tyre chains Tyre repair kit Minor damage to the tyre tread can be repaired with the tyre repair kit. Do not remove foreign bodies from the tyres. Tyre damage exceeding 4 mm or that is at tyre's sidewall cannot be repaired with the tyre repair kit. 9 Warning Tyre chains are only permitted on the front wheels. Always use fine mesh chains that add no more than 10 mm to the tyre tread and the inboard sides (including chain lock). Do not exceed 30 mph when snow chains are fitted. 9 Warning Damage may lead to tyre blowout. Do not drive faster than 50 mph. Do not use for a lengthy period. Steering and handling may be affected. If you have a flat tyre: Apply the parking brake and engage first or reverse gear. Van The tyre repair kit is located under the front seat. Combi The tyre repair kit is on the right side in the load compartment behind a cover. 1. Take the tyre repair kit from the vehicle. 2. Remove the compressor. 3. Set the compressor upright near the tyre. 4. Unscrew valve cap from defective tyre. Vehicle care 11. 12. 13. 5. Screw the flexible filler hose onto the tyre valve. 6. The switch on the compressor must be set to J. 7. Connect the compressor plug to the power outlet or cigarette lighter socket. To avoid discharging the battery, we recommend running the engine. 8. Set the rocker switch on the compressor to I. The tyre is filled with sealant. 9. All of the sealant is pumped into the tyre. Then the tyre is inflated. Tyre pressure 3 138. When the correct pressure is obtained, switch off the compressor. 10. If a pressure of 1.5 bar is not obtained within 5 minutes, remove the tyre repair kit. Move the vehicle one tyre rotation. Reattach the tyre repair kit and continue the filling procedure for 5 minutes. If a pressure of 1.8 bar is still not obtained within 14. 117 5 minutes, the tyre is too badly damaged. Seek the assistance of a workshop. Do not run the compressor longer than 20 minutes. Detach the tyre repair kit. Remove any excess sealant using a cloth. Take the label indicating maximum permitted speed from the sealant bottle and affix in the driver's field of view. Continue driving immediately so that sealant is evenly distributed in the tyre. After driving approx. 6 miles (but no more than 10 minutes), stop and check tyre pressure. Screw compressor air hose directly onto tyre valve and compressor when doing this. 118 Vehicle care If tyre pressure is more than 1.8 bar, set it to the correct value. Repeat the procedure until there is no more loss of pressure. If the tyre pressure has fallen below 1.8 bar, the vehicle must not be used. Seek the assistance of a workshop. 15. Stow away tyre repair kit in load compartment. Notice The driving characteristics of the repaired tyre are severely affected, therefore have this tyre replaced. If unusual noise is heard or the compressor becomes hot, turn compressor off and allow to cool. Note the expiry date of the kit. After this date its sealing capability is no longer guaranteed. Pay attention to storage information on sealant bottle. Replace the used sealant bottle. Dispose of the bottle as prescribed by applicable laws. The compressor and sealant can be used from approx. -20 °C. Replacing the sealant canister To replace the sealant canister: 1. Disconnect the compressor air hose. 2. Turn the canister anticlockwise to lift it out. 3. Insert the new canister and turn it clockwise. 4. Connect the compressor air hose to the canister and fit the flexible filler tube into its allocated space. Wheel changing Some vehicles are equipped with a tyre repair kit instead of a spare wheel. Vehicle care Make the following preparations and observe the following information: ■ Park the vehicle on a level, firm and non-skid surface. The front wheels must be in the straight-ahead position. ■ Apply the parking brake and engage first or reverse gear. ■ Remove the spare wheel. ■ Never change more than one wheel at once. ■ Use the jack only to change wheels in case of puncture, not for seasonal winter or summer tyre change. ■ If the ground on which the vehicle is standing is soft, a solid board (max. 1 cm thick) should be placed under the jack. ■ No people or animals may be in the vehicle when it is jacked-up. ■ Never crawl under a jacked-up vehicle. ■ Do not start the vehicle when it is raised on the jack. ■ Clean wheel nuts and thread with a clean cloth before mounting the wheel. 119 2. Attach wheel wrench securely and loosen each wheel nut by half a turn. 9 Warning Do not grease wheel bolt, wheel nut and wheel nut cone. 3. Vehicle jacking points are located at the front and rear. 1. Disengage wheel nut caps with a screwdriver and remove. Pull off the wheel cover using a suitable tool. 120 Vehicle care 4. Set the jack to the necessary height. Position it directly below the jacking point in a manner that prevents it from slipping. With the jack correctly aligned, rotate until wheel is clear of the ground. 5. Unscrew the wheel nuts. 6. Change the wheel. 7. Screw on the wheel nuts. 8. Lower vehicle. 9. Install the wheel wrench ensuring that it locates securely and tighten each nut in a crosswise sequence. Tightening torque is 85 Nm (steel wheel) or 120 Nm (alloy wheel). 10. Align the valve hole in the wheel cover with the tyre valve before installing. Install wheel nut caps. 11. Stow the replaced wheel and the vehicle tools 3 113. 12. Check the tyre pressure of the installed tyre and the wheel nut torque as soon as possible. Have the defective tyre renewed or repaired as soon as possible. Spare wheel Some vehicles are equipped with a spare wheel instead of a tyre repair kit. Depending on vehicle, the spare wheel is stored beneath the floor or in the load compartment. 1. Attach the extension bar 2 to the wheel wrench 1. Vehicle tools 3 113. Vehicle care 121 5. Unscrew knob 2 and release cable attachment 1 from spare wheel. 6. Change the wheel. 7. Position the replaced wheel at the rear of the vehicle with the outside of the wheel facing downwards. 2. Insert the wheel wrench into the aperture in the load compartment floor. 3. Rotate the wheel wrench to lower the spare wheel to the floor. 4. Withdraw spare wheel from under the vehicle. 8. Pass the retainer 1 through the hole in the rim, inserting the locating pin into one of the bolt holes and secure with knob 2. 9. Insert the wheel wrench into the aperture in the load compartment floor and rotate to fully raise the spare wheel. 122 Vehicle care Have the defective tyre renewed or repaired as soon as possible. Jump starting Directional tyres Do not start with quick charger. A vehicle with a discharged battery can be started using jump leads and the battery of another vehicle. Fit directional tyres such that they roll in the direction of travel. The rolling direction is indicated by a symbol (e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall. The following applies to tyres fitted opposing the rolling direction: ■ Driveability may be affected. Have the defective tyre renewed or repaired as soon as possible. ■ Drive particularly carefully on wet and snow-covered road surfaces. 9 Warning Be extremely careful when starting with jump leads. Any deviation from the following instructions can lead to injuries or damage caused by battery explosion or damage to the electrical systems of both vehicles. 9 Warning Avoid contact of the battery with eyes, skin, fabrics and painted surfaces. The fluid contains sulphuric acid which can cause injuries and damage in the event of direct contact. ■ Never expose the battery to naked flames or sparks. ■ A discharged battery can already freeze at a temperature of 0 °C. Defrost the frozen battery before connecting jump leads. ■ Wear eye protection and protective clothing when handling a battery. ■ Use a booster battery with the same voltage (12 Volts). Its capacity (Ah) must not be much less than that of the discharged battery. ■ Use jump leads with insulated terminals and a cross section of at least 16 mm2 (25 mm2 for diesel engines). ■ Do not disconnect the discharged battery from the vehicle. ■ Switch off all unnecessary electrical consumers. ■ Do not lean over the battery during jump starting. ■ Do not allow the terminals of one lead to touch those of the other lead. Vehicle care ■ The vehicles must not come into contact with each other during the jump starting process. ■ Apply the parking brake, transmission in neutral. Lead connection order: 1. Connect the red lead to the positive terminal of the booster battery. 2. Connect the other end of the red lead to the positive terminal of the discharged battery. 3. Connect the black lead to the negative terminal of the booster battery. 4. Connect the other end of the black lead to a vehicle grounding point, such as the engine block or an engine mounting bolt. Connect as far away from the discharged battery as possible, however at least 60 cm. Route the leads so that they cannot catch on rotating parts in the engine compartment. To start the engine: 1. Start the engine of the vehicle providing the jump. 2. After 5 minutes, start the other engine. Start attempts should be made for no longer than 15 seconds at an interval of 1 minute. 3. Allow both engines to idle for approx. 3 minutes with the leads connected. 123 4. Switch on electrical consumers (e.g. headlights, heated rear window) of the vehicle receiving the jump start. 5. Reverse above sequence exactly when removing leads. 124 Vehicle care Towing Towing the vehicle Release the cap by carefully lifting with a screwdriver. To prevent damage it is recommended to place a cloth between the screwdriver and the frame. The towing eye is stowed with the vehicle tools 3 113. Screw in the towing eye as far as it will go until it stops in a horizontal position. Attach a tow rope – or better still a tow rod – to the towing eye. The towing eye must only be used for towing and not for recovering the vehicle. Switch on ignition to release steering wheel lock and to permit operation of brake lights, horn and windscreen wiper. Transmission in neutral. If neutral cannot be selected on vehicles with manual transmission automated, the vehicle must only be towed with the drive wheels raised off the ground. Switch on the hazard warning flashers on both vehicles. To prevent the entry of exhaust gases from the towing vehicle, switch on the air recirculation and close the windows. Seek the assistance of a workshop. After towing, unscrew the towing eye. Insert cap. Towing another vehicle Caution Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily. Excessive tractive force can damage the vehicle. When the engine is not running, considerably more force is needed to brake and steer. Insert a screwdriver in the slot at the side of the cap. Release the cap by carefully levering the screwdriver. To prevent damage it is recommended to place a cloth between the screwdriver and the frame. Vehicle care The towing eye is stowed with the vehicle tools 3 113. Screw in the towing eye as far as it will go until it stops in a horizontal position. Attach a tow rope – or even better a tow bar – to the towing eye. The towing eye must only be used for towing and not for recovering a vehicle. Caution Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily. Excessive tractive force can damage the vehicle. After towing, unscrew the towing eye. Insert cap. Appearance care Exterior care Locks The locks are lubricated at the factory using a high quality lock cylinder grease. Use de-icing agent only when absolutely necessary, as this has a degreasing effect and impairs lock function. After using de-icing agent, have the locks regreased by a workshop. Washing The paintwork of your vehicle is exposed to environmental influences. Wash and wax your vehicle regularly. When using automatic vehicle washes, select a programme that includes waxing. Bird droppings, dead insects, resin, pollen and the like should be cleaned off immediately, as they contain aggressive constituents which can cause paint damage. 125 If using a vehicle wash, comply with the vehicle wash manufacturer's instructions. The windscreen wiper and rear window wiper must be switched off. Remove antenna and external accessories such as roof racks etc. If you wash your vehicle by hand, make sure that the insides of the wheel housings are also thoroughly rinsed out. Clean edges and folds on opened doors and the bonnet as well as the areas they cover. Have the door hinges of all doors greased by a workshop. Do not clean the engine compartment with a steam-jet or high-pressure jet cleaner. Thoroughly rinse and leather-off the vehicle. Rinse leather frequently. Use separate leathers for painted and glass surfaces: remnants of wax on the windows will impair vision. 126 Vehicle care Exterior lights Headlight and other light covers are made of plastic. Do not use any abrasive or caustic agents, do not use an ice scraper, and do not clean them dry. Polishing and waxing Wax the vehicle regularly (at the latest when water no longer beads). Otherwise, the paintwork will dry out. Polishing is necessary only if the paint has become dull or if solid deposits have become attached to it. Paintwork polish with silicone forms a protective film, making waxing unnecessary. Plastic body parts must not be treated with wax or polishing agents. Windows and windscreen wiper blades Use a soft lint-free cloth or chamois leather together with window cleaner and insect remover. When cleaning the rear window, make sure the heating element inside is not damaged. For mechanical removal of ice, use a sharp-edged ice scraper. Press the scraper firmly against the glass so that no dirt can get under it and scratch the glass. Clean smearing wiper blades with a soft cloth and window cleaner. Glass panel Never clean with solvents or abrasive agents, fuels, aggressive media (e.g. paint cleaner, acetone-containing solutions etc.), acidic or highly alkaline media or abrasive pads. Do not apply wax or polishing agents to the glass panel. Wheels and tyres Do not use high-pressure jet cleaners. Clean rims with a pH-neutral wheel cleaner. Rims are painted and can be treated with the same agents as the body. Paintwork damage Rectify minor paintwork damage with a touch-up pen before rust forms. Have more extensive damage or rust areas repaired by a workshop. Underbody Some areas of the vehicle underbody have a PVC undercoating while other critical areas have a durable protective wax coating. After the underbody is washed, check the underbody and have it waxed if necessary. Bitumen/rubber materials could damage the PVC coating. Have underbody work carried out by a workshop. Before and after winter, wash the underbody and have the protective wax coating checked. Natural gas system Do not direct the steam jet or highpressure jet towards natural gas system components. It is particularly important to protect the natural gas Vehicle care tank and the pressure valves on the vehicle underbody and the bulkhead in the engine compartment. These components must not be treated using chemical cleaners or preservatives. Have components of the natural gas system cleaned by a workshop authorised to carry out maintenance of natural gas vehicles. Towing equipment Do not clean the coupling ball bar with a steam-jet or high-pressure jet cleaner. Interior care Interior and upholstery Only clean the vehicle interior, including the instrument panel fascia and panelling, with a dry cloth or interior cleaner. Clean the leather upholstery with clear water and a soft cloth. In case of heavy soiling, use leather care. The instrument panel should only be cleaned using a soft damp cloth. Clean fabric upholstery with a vacuum cleaner and brush. Remove stains with an upholstery cleaner. Clean seat belts with lukewarm water or interior cleaner. Caution Close Velcro fasteners as open Velcro fasteners on clothing could damage seat upholstery. The same applies to clothing with sharp-edged objects, like zips or belts or studded jeans. Plastic and rubber parts Plastic and rubber parts can be cleaned with the same cleaner as used to clean the body. Use interior cleaner if necessary. Do not use any other agent. Avoid solvents and petrol in particular. Do not use highpressure jet cleaners. 127 128 Service and maintenance Service and maintenance General information ................... 128 Recommended fluids, lubricants and parts .................................... 129 General information Confirmations In order to ensure economical and safe vehicle operation and to maintain the value of your vehicle, it is of vital importance that all maintenance work is carried out at the proper intervals as specified. The detailed, up-to-date service schedule for your vehicle is available at the workshop. Confirmation of service is recorded in the Service and Warranty Booklet. The date and mileage is completed with the stamp and signature of the servicing workshop. Make sure that the Service and Warranty Booklet is completed correctly as continuous proof of service is essential if any warranty or goodwill claims are to be met, and is also a benefit when selling the vehicle. Service intervals petrol and CNG engines Service interval with remaining engine oil life duration Service information Maintenance of your vehicle is required every 18,000 miles or one year, whichever occurs first. Service intervals diesel engines Maintenance of your vehicle is required every 21,000 miles or one year, whichever occurs first, unless otherwise indicated in the Driver Information Centre. The service interval is based on several parameters depending on usage. When the engine oil requires changing control indicator I will flash in conjunction with a message in the Driver Information Centre. Control indicator I 3 62. Service and maintenance Recommended fluids, lubricants and parts Recommended fluids and lubricants Only use products that meet the recommended specifications. Damage resulting from the use of products not in line with these specifications will not be covered by the warranty. 9 Warning Operating materials are hazardous and could be poisonous. Handle with care. Pay attention to information given on the containers. Engine oil Engine oil is identified by its quality and its viscosity. Quality is more important than viscosity when selecting which engine oil to use. The oil quality ensures e.g. engine cleanliness, wear protection and oil ageing control, whereas viscosity grade gives information on the oil's thickness over a temperature range. Dexos is the newest engine oil quality that provides optimum protection for gasoline and diesel engines. If it is unavailable, engine oils of other listed qualities have to be used. Recommendations for gasoline engines are also valid for Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) fuelled engines. Engine oil quality dexos 2 = All petrol and diesel engines Alternative qualities if dexos is not available: GM-LL-A-025 = Petrol engines GM-LL-B-025 = Diesel engines Topping up engine oil Engine oils of different manufacturers and brands can be mixed as long as they comply with the required engine oil quality and viscosity. 129 Use of engine oil with only ACEA A1/B1 or only A5/B5 quality is prohibited, since it can cause longterm engine damage under certain operating conditions. Additional engine oil additives The use of additional engine oil additives could cause damage and invalidate the warranty. Engine oil viscosity Use only engine oil viscosity grades SAE 5W-30 (diesel engines) or 5W-40 (petrol, CNG engines). The SAE viscosity grade defines the ability of an oil to flow. When cold, oil is more viscous than when hot. Multigrade oil is indicated by two figures. The first figure, followed by a W, indicates the low temperature viscosity and the second figure the high temperature viscosity. Coolant and antifreeze Use only antifreeze approved for the vehicle, consult a workshop. 130 Service and maintenance The system is factory filled with coolant designed for excellent corrosion protection and frost protection down to approx. -28 °C. This concentration should be maintained all year round. The use of additional coolant additives that intend to give additional corrosion protection or seal against minor leaks can cause function problems. Liability for consequences resulting from the use of additional coolant additives will be rejected. Brake and clutch fluid Only use high-performance brake fluid approved for the vehicle, consult a workshop. Over time, brake fluid absorbs moisture which will reduce braking effectiveness. The brake fluid should therefore be replaced at the specified interval. Brake fluid should be stored in a sealed container to avoid water absorption. Ensure brake fluid does not become contaminated. Technical data Technical data Vehicle identification .................. 131 Vehicle data ............................... 133 131 Vehicle identification Vehicle Identification Number and in the floor on the front passenger side behind a cover.

Some data may be stored during regular operation to facilitate repair of detected malfunctions, other data is stored only in a crash or near crash event by modules in your vehicle systems that have an event data recording function such as the airbag control module. The systems may record diagnostic data about the condition of the vehicle (e.g. oil level or vehicle mileage) and information how it was operated (e.g. engine speed, brake application and seat belt usage). To read this data, special equipment and access to the vehicle is required. Some diagnostic data is electronically fed into Vauxhall global systems when the vehicle is serviced in a workshop, in order to document the service history of the vehicle. This enables the workshop to offer you efficient maintenance and repair, tailored to your individual vehicle, each time you bring it back to the workshop. The manufacturer will not access driver's behaviour related information about a crash event or share it with others except: ■ with the consent of the vehicle owner or, if the vehicle is leased, of the lessee ■ in response to an official request of police or similar government office ■ as part of the manufacturer's defense in case of legal proceedings ■ as required by law Customer information In addition, the manufacturer may use the collected or received diagnostic data: ■ for the manufacturer's research needs ■ to make it available for research needs where appropriate confidentiality is maintained and need is shown ■ to share summary data which is not tied to a specific vehicle with other organisations for research purposes Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) RFID technology is used in some vehicles for functions such as tyre pressure monitoring and ignition system security.
