MERIVA
2013 Models Edition 2
WELCOME TO A
LIFETIME OF
FORWARD THINKING
1957 – The PA
Cresta introduced
Americana styling
to the UK.
1903 – Forward thinking has been in our nature
from the very start. The 6HP, our first ever car,
had two forward gears. And no reverse.
1937 – The Vauxhall
‘10’ H-type, the first
British car to have
integral construction.
1922 – The Silver Arrow OE 30-98 was capable of speeds
of over 100mph, this model was built for shipping magnate
Sir Leonard Ropner to race at Brooklands.
1984 – The MkII Astra introduced class-leading aerodynamic
styling that still looks good today. The Formula Vauxhall Lotus
ran a modified version of the Astra GTE’s 2.0i 16v engine.
1971 – The formation of Dealer Team Vauxhall
(DTV). The track car was the precursor to our
enormous success in touring car racing.
2012 – The ‘RAK e’. A radical looking
electric concept car for the future.
Our forward thinking continues.
1999 – The Zafira introduced
the revolutionary Flex7 ®
seating system inventing the
seven-seat compact MPV.
2012 – Ampera. The first ever Extended-Range Electric
Vehicle (E-REV) that redefined electric vehicle innovation
leading to it being voted European Car Of The Year 2012.

years of Vauxhall innovation.

QR reader from your app
store first.
1990 – The Calibra was the
world’s most aerodynamic
production car.
1989 – The Lotus Carlton was
the world’s fastest production
four-door saloon.
The world was a very different place in 1903 when
Vauxhall made its first car. We steered with tillers, not
wheels. Six horsepower was considered pretty nippy.
And King Edward’s face was still on the stamps. But for
us, one important thing hasn’t changed: we started out
with a philosophy of Forward Thinking and, more than
100 years later, it still motivates everything we do. Who
knows what innovations the next 100 years will bring?
The Vauxhall Lifetime Warranty. There’s one thing
every owner of a new Vauxhall can rely on. We’re so
confident in Vauxhall quality and reliability that we are
now able to offer a lifetime warranty. It’s available to
the first owner of all our new Vauxhall passenger cars
and valid for the lifetime of the vehicle up to a maximum
of 100,000 miles. So you’ve got year after year of
carefree driving to look forward to...
Please see back cover

Vauxhall Lifetime
100,000 mile warranty.

Enjoy the journey.
Meriva may be perfect for family life. But it’s also great
to drive, with reassuring balance, strong safety features
and lively, efficient multi-valve turbocharged petrol and
diesel engines.
7
Feel the difference.
Whatever’s happening all around you, Meriva helps
you focus on the road ahead. Smart ergonomics put
the instruments, controls and displays in all the right
places. And hugely adjustable seats make it easy to
find the perfect driving position.
9
Your comfort zone.
Meriva has more interior flexibility and comfort than ever
before – and more intelligent features too. There’s high
quality materials, a real contemporary feel and generous
light and space.
11
Organise your life.
Meriva is packed with places to keep your belongings with up to
32 practical storage solutions. FlexRail® is our even smarter centre
console system. Think modular. Think sliding drinks holder or
phone tray. Think centre armrest with really useful storage for front
seat passengers. Now rearrange it and think again.
SE model illustrated.
13
Love the look.
Meriva gives you plenty to catch the eye. Not just with
sharp sculpted lines, ‘wave-design’ rear windows and
more than a touch of style, but how it packs so much
versatility into such a great shape.
15
Real life savings.
Meriva’s range of ecoFLEX engines have been designed to save you money. So how do
we embrace great savings without taking away the lively power delivery and driveability
of your Meriva? Well, the benefit of improved fuel economy speaks for itself but lower
CO2 emissions also mean savings on Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) and lower company
car taxation too.
Let’s take a look at the Meriva 1.3CDTi 16v (95PS) ecoFLEX Start/Stop. Producing as low
as 109g/km of CO2 means no VED* for the first year of registration and only £20 a year*
after that. How’s that for a saving!
And we haven’t stopped there. We have been researching ways of developing new cars
that are more efficient than ever before. The new Vauxhall Ampera** is an ExtendedRange Electric Vehicle (E-REV) that can drive up to 50 miles on battery power alone and
over 300 miles utilising an on-board electric generator system.
But then it’s not just our cars that can help you save money. You can help yourself by
simply adopting smarter driving techniques. Smooth throttle control, changing gear at
around 2000rpm when accelerating and lifting off the accelerator earlier in order to slow
your vehicle down, all contribute to efficient motoring.
So there you have it. More than one reason why at Vauxhall we embrace a philosophy of
forward thinking that helps your money go further.

emissions. The 1.7CDTi (130PS) engine is the perfect example. With up to
300Nm of torque available from just 2000-2500rpm, it provides very brisk
performance – but without compromising fuel economy or low CO2 emissions.
Leaner, greener and great to drive, the Meriva engine line-up consists of
three 1.4 litre petrol engines and five diesels – three 1.3 and two 1.7 litre units
– all delivering brilliant performance with high levels of efficiency and Euro 5
compliant emissions.
Low-emission petrol engines.
All Meriva petrol engines feature advanced induction with Variable Valve
Timing (VVT) technology for high fuel economy and performance. A 100PS
engine is matched with two turbocharged versions – a 120PS model and a
range topping 140PS variant, the latter unit cleverly combines the turbo with
longer gear ratios to reduce fuel consumption and emissions without loss of
driving enjoyment.
Start/Stop technology.
The Meriva ecoFLEX Start/Stop models switch the engine off when you stop at
the lights or in traffic, then restart it automatically once the clutch is depressed,
saving fuel and reducing emissions even further. The AUTOSTOP symbol
housed within the rev counter indicates that the engine has stopped. The system
can be deactivated manually by simply pressing the ECO button on the facia.
As the chart below shows, the Meriva 1.3CDTi 16v (95PS) Start/Stop model
cuts CO2 emissions considerably.
High-tech diesels.
Meriva’s five diesel engines are also turbocharged, adding fuel-injection,
common rail diesel technology, which cuts emissions, reduces noise and lowers
fuel consumption. The 95PS 1.3CDTi ecoFLEX models are particularly ecofriendly, with closed-loop combustion control and taller gear ratios which
combined help reduce emissions to just 119g/km. On all models strict emissions
control is further achieved through the use of a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF),
electronically controlled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and, on the 1.7CDTi
models, a variable intake system designed to optimise efficiency and reduce
Three transmissions.
An easy-shifting, five-speed manual gearbox is standard on all 1.3CDTi diesels,
and the 1.4i 100PS and 120PS petrol variants. A performance-focused six-speed
manual is standard on the 1.4i 16v VVT Turbo (140PS) and the hot 1.7CDTi 16v
(130PS) diesel. And a specially calibrated, six-speed fully automatic
transmission is standard with the 1.7CDTi (110PS) diesel and optional on the
1.4i 16v VVT Turbo (120PS) petrol, which adapts to your driving style and even
the prevailing road conditions. With its innovative ActiveSelect® feature, it
also allows sequential driver gear selection via the shift lever.

Engines and transmissions
FlexDoors®. Meriva is packed with innovative thinking aimed
at making life easier, more comfortable and more convenient,
but our rear-hinged FlexDoors® tear up the family car rulebook
to bring real benefits in so many areas.
Easy access.
FlexDoors® open independently of the front doors, and far wider
than normal, so it’s much easier to get in and out of the car,
wherever you sit.
Easier on your back.
FlexDoors® are far kinder on your back too. Research by the
Department of Industrial Design at Coventry University looked
at the effects of lifting even just a 5kg object (a small baby, for
example) in and out of Meriva’s rear seats. Compared with the
previous model, the FlexDoors® help reduce back muscle loads
by up to 58% and leaning and twisting angles by up to 48%. Back
strain was reduced even just getting in and out of the car.
No wonder Meriva has been awarded a Certificate of Excellence
by the highly respected German AGR (Campaign for Healthier
Backs) panel of doctors and ergonomic experts – the first time
they’ve certified a complete vehicle’s ergonomic concept,
rather than individual components.
Safe and secure.
While mechanically activated rear child locks are standard, the whole FlexDoors® system is protected by
a range of electronic safety systems – the rear doors are locked electronically at speeds above 2mph, for
example. A green LED light in the rear door handle signals when the door can be opened from the inside.
Key electrical safety components are ‘doubled up’ – aircraft-style – and monitored constantly. And if the
doors are not closed properly, the driver is warned both audibly and visually on the instrument panel.
Parent-friendly.
Wider access makes it easier to lift young children in and out of the car and secure them safely into a child
seat. And if you open both front and rear doors, it creates a parent-friendly zone where it’s easier to control
children as they step in and out of the car.
Meriva

FlexDoors®
FlexDoors®. Not just clever, but altogether
safer and ergonomically efficient, Meriva’s
rear doors open the other way. So it’s
easier for everyone to get in and out – with
improved roadside safety. And simpler to
ensure the kids are seated safe and secure.
21
FlexSpace®. How many seats do you
need today? Five? Four? Three? Just
two? In Meriva, the choice is yours.
The outer rear seats can be individually
moved backwards, forwards and
diagonally inwards or all three can
be folded flat for more luggage space.
So you get superb levels of versatility
– without ever having to remove a seat.
Five seats.
In five-seat mode, the outer rear seats move forward individually by up to 140mm.
This not only creates extra luggage space but also ensures that it’s easier
to reach over to the kids in the rear seats. On Tech Line and SE models it even
brings rear seat passengers closer to the folding trays – yet another childfriendly feature.
FlexSpace®
FlexSpace®. It’s all about finding simple ways to accommodate every family
transport need, however unexpected. Meriva is a comfortable five-seater, with
ample leg and shoulder room for three rear seat passengers – each with a lap
and diagonal seatbelt. It’s also a generous four-seater with extra leg and
shoulder room, a versatile three-seater and a two-seater with acres of
luggage space.
Four seats.
It’s easy to convert Meriva from five seats to four. With the middle seat back
folded, the outer rear seats can be moved diagonally – back and inwards in
one automatic sliding action – creating extra leg and shoulder room for
maximum comfort.
Three seats or two.
Meriva offers generous luggage space – as much as 1496 litres maximum, and
397 litres even in the five-seater configuration. But as you would expect, it’s the
flexibility that really counts. With its 40/20/40 split-folding rear seat, you can fold
either side flat for people and luggage in various combinations. Or fold just the
centre seat flat creating a practical load-through space for longer items.
Best of all, Meriva’s rear seats can now be released and folded flat with a
single, one-touch operation – from the rear seat or luggage area – so you can
switch effortlessly from three to two to one in seconds, without removing any
seats from the car.
23
Integrated safety systems.
Meriva has a rigid central safety cell,
designed for maximum protection, plus
availability of the latest passenger
restraint technology – airbags, seatbelt
systems and active-safety front seat
head restraints. The chassis is also
packed with active-safety features,
specially enhanced to help you keep
control in all driving situations.
Child safety. All Meriva models feature
pre-fitted ISOFIX mountings on the outer
rear seats. When used in conjunction
with the accessory Vauxhall Duo ISOFIX
child seat, the system ensures a fixed
anchorage for the child seat. The ISOFIX
attachment also features Vauxhall’s Top
Tether restraining strap system for
greater security under extreme braking.
Vauxhall’s two other child seats – the
rear-facing Baby Safe and the KID –
cater from birth to 12 years. All Vauxhall
child seats (including the Duo ISOFIX
illustrated right) can be fixed using the
standard lap and diagonal seatbelts.
Meriva’s wide-opening FlexDoors® offer
easier access to the rear seat, so it’s even
simpler to secure a child safely into a
child seat. With front and rear doors
open, Meriva also creates a partially
enclosed area at the side of the car.
Effectively a parent- and child-friendly
zone that makes it easier to control
children as they step in or out of the car.
Adaptive Forward
Lighting (AFL). Meriva
can be specified with
an optional halogen
lighting system, featuring
dynamic curve light and static cornering
light. The result? Better visibility and
enhanced safety too.
Active-safety front seat head
restraints. Meriva’s active front seat head
restraints move up and forward under a
rear impact to minimise the risk of
whiplash injury and guard against other
head and upper body injuries. Standard
on Exclusiv, Tech Line and SE models,
optional as part of the Protection Pack on
Expression, S and Energy.
Airbags. Meriva is equipped with front
and side-impact airbags for driver
and front passenger (front only on
Expression models). The front passenger
airbag can be deactivated for child seat
use. Curtain airbags are also standard
on Exclusiv, Tech Line and SE models.
Vehicle illustrated features accessory Vauxhall
Duo ISOFIX child seat, available at extra cost.

Safety
Comfort class. Look inside. And out! Meriva is designed to keep you
comfortable, however long the journey ahead. And the large windscreen,
‘wave-design’ rear window line and huge panoramic glass roof* all
ensure a great view for both front and rear seat passengers.

Ergonomic sports seat. Are you sitting comfortably?
If not, your driving could be as badly affected as your
posture. Meriva’s optional fully orthopaedic sports front
driver’s seat** has eight-way adjustment and four-way
electro-pneumatic lumbar support.

Electronic Climate Control (ECC). This
optional dual-zone system incorporates
air conditioning with a particle filter.
Electric parking brake. The electric
parking brake not only saves space, it
also releases automatically when you
drive off, making hill starts much easier.
Heated leather-covered steering
wheel. Part of the optional Winter Pack
along with heated front seats. Perfect for
those chilly winter mornings. Standard
on Tech Line models.
27
Comfort and convenience
Flex-Fix®. This fully
integrated optional rear
carrier system, capable
of safely transporting
two bicycles (illustrated
right), disappears into the rear bumper
when not in use. Always there when
you need it. Out of sight when you don’t.
Flex Floor. Our two-position, adjustable
luggage compartment floor is standard
on all models. When lowered, it
maximises rear load height and volume.
In the upper position, it’s flush with the
folded rear seats and the rear sill,
providing a flat loadspace area with
easy loading – plus a useful 86 litres
of loadspace under the Flex Floor.
Up to 32 storage possibilities. All of
them accessible, flexible and usefully
sized storage spaces. A generous
glovebox, roomy door pockets (front
and rear) and a driver’s side sunglasses
holder are just some of the headline
storage features fitted as standard.
Seat back tables and front underseat
storage are two further features
available on Tech Line and SE models.
FlexRail®. The FlexRail®
system provides highly
versatile, modular, multilevel storage and occupies
the deep space between
the two front seats. Within the base centre
console there are two fixed cup holders,
storage tray spaces for mobile phones,
MP3 players etc, the auxiliary-in stereo
input and a 12-volt power outlet. Exclusiv
models feature the FlexRail® system’s
aluminium rails, reaching from the front
centre console back to the rear footwell,
plus a practical sliding tray/cup holder.
SE models add a front sliding centre
storage module with armrest and lid. It
could not be simpler. Or more useful.
29
Comfort and convenience
CD/MP3 CD player/stereo radio
(CD 300). Standard on Expression, this
system features a CD/MP3 CD player,
aux-in socket, 18 station presets, triple

Exclusiv and SE have a choice of up to
two optional systems (at extra cost)
using wireless technology. Both allow
you to operate your phone’s key functions
from the steering wheel, the audio unit
or via voice control (when enabled on the
mobile phone).

**The Navi 600 Satellite navigation system on Tech Line
models can be ordered as an extra-cost option or a no-cost
option in lieu of the heated front seats, heated steering
wheel and front and rear parking distance sensors.
Infotainment
Stay informed, entertained, and in
touch. Meriva comes with quality audio
equipment – not just great radio and
CD sound, but simple controls and
easy connectivity to your MP3 player
or iPod. You can also upgrade to the
optional satellite navigation.
Satellite navigation/CD/MP3 CD
player/stereo radio (Navi 600).
Optional at extra cost** on all models

uses SD card-based memory
technology to store navigation map
data of more than 30 European
countries and Points of Interest
information. This enables high-speed
access and allows universal networking
with mobile devices and digital data
media. The system includes all the
functions of the CD 400 and allows
dynamic route guidance via RDS/TMC
with automatic updates and re-routing
information. Bluetooth® mobile phone

facility lets you connect your MP3
player (most systems are compatible)
to the car’s audio system. The USB
connection – standard on all models
except Expression – allows you to view
iPod and memory stick functionality via
the audio display.

• Drive at an appropriate speed: Staying
within the speed limit increases driver
safety, reduces CO2 emissions and saves
fuel. At 70mph you could be using up to
9% more fuel than at 60mph and up to
15% more fuel than at 50mph
• Drive smoothly at all times: Anticipate
the ebb and flow of the traffic to avoid
harsh acceleration and braking
• Reduce your revs: Change gear earlier
to help reduce fuel consumption – try
2500rpm with petrol engines and
2000rpm with diesel
• Idling is wasting fuel: If you’re likely
to be at a standstill for more than three
minutes, switch off the engine to save fuel
• Regularly check your tyre pressures:
Under inflated tyres increase CO2
emissions whilst incorrectly inflated
tyres can be unsafe. Always check your
handbook for the correct tyre pressure.
This will also help to increase the life of
your tyres
• Remove unnecessary items from the
car: Extra weight increases the engine’s
workload, whilst roof racks and bike
carriers increase wind resistance. All burn
more fuel and increase CO2 emissions
