Airbag system
The airbag system consists of sev eral sepa ra te systems. Front airb ag system The front airbag system will be triggered in the event of a serious a ccident involving a fronta l impact a nd form s safety cushions for the d riv er and front passenger. The forward m ov ement of the driver and front passenger is c hecked and the risk of injuries to the upper body and head are thereby substantially reduced.
In Brief
21
Sid e a irbag system 3 The side airb ag is trigg ered in the ev ent of a side-on collision to form a safety cushion for the driver or front passeng er in the respective door area. This substantially red uces the risk of injury to the upper body and pelvis.
Curtai n airbag system 3 The curtain airbag system triggers in case of a side-on collision and provides a safety barrier in the head a rea on the respective side of the v ehicle. This reduces the risk of injury to the head considerably in case of a side-on collision. 6 Airbag system s see page 67.
Active head restraints 3 on front seats

In the ev ent of a rear-end im pact, the active head restraints a utomatica lly tilt forward a little.

If the handbrake has not b een applied, control ind icator R flashes for a few seconds after the ignition is switched off.
Manoeuvri ng the vehicle For accurate m anoeuvring when pa rk ing , at ga ra ge entranc es etc. , the creeping movement c an be utilised by releasing the footb rake with a gear selected. Never actuate a ccelerator and brake pedals simultaneously. In ord er to prevent damag e, the Easytronic disengages the "creep function" at extremely high automatic c lutch tem peratures.

3. Clean Easytronic around the cap (see illustration in prev ious c olumn) so that no dirt can get into the opening w hen the cap is rem oved. 4. Rotate ca p to sla cken a nd remove by lifting upwa rd s see illustration in previous column. 5. Turn the adjusting screw clock wise using a flat-head screwdriver (vehicle tools 3 see page 176) until clear resistanc e can be felt. The clutch has now been disengaged.
Fault If a fa ult occ urs in the Easytronic, control indicator A illuminates. In the event of serious faults, "F" a lso app ears in the transm ission display . It is possible to continue driving if only control indica tor A illuminates. Ma nual mode can then no longer be selected. If "F" also ap pears in the transmission display, it is not possib le to continue driving. Hav e the cause of the fault elim inated by a workshop. The self-diag nosis integrated into the system allow s rap id fault identification.
Interruption of p ower supply The clutch is not d iseng aged if the vehicle battery is discha rg ed and a gear has been selected. The vehicle cannot move. If the ba ttery is flat, start the v ehicle using jump lead s see page 172. If the cause of the power failure is not a discharged battery , conta ct a workshop. If the vehicle m ust be rem ov ed from flowing tra ffic, relea se the c lutch as follows: 1. Apply handbrak e and switch off ignition. 2. O pen bonnet and engag e support.
Do not turn bey ond the resistance, since this can d amage the Easytronic. 6. Fit cleaned cap ag ain. The cap must be in full contact w ith the housing. Towing the vehic le and starting the eng ine is not perm itted when the clutch has been released in this way , although the vehicle can b e m ov ed a short distance. C ontact a workshop immediately.

Electri c Power Steering (EPS) 3 If the Electric Power Steering fails when being towed with the engine 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 / trail er 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 w hile the v ehicle is still c op ing with the gradient in the higher g ear. Dr iving with a roof load Do not exceed the permissible roof load , see p age 214. For reasons of safety, distribute the load evenly and secure it prop erly w ith retaining straps. Ad just tyre pressure to load conditions. Do not d riv e faster than 75 mph (120 km /h). Check and retighten the stra ps frequently. Observ e country-specific regulations. 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 . two m inutes in order to prev ent 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. Sa ve energy m ore miles / kilom et res Plea se observe the running-in hints on the previous pa ge a nd the tips for energy saving on the following pag es. Good, technically correc t and ec onomical driving ensures m aximum d urab ility and performa nc e for your vehicle.
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 engine to labour at low revs. Make good use of all gea rs. Dep ress the acc elerator pedal a maxim um of approx. three quarters of the av ailable pedal travel 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 ). Never coa st with engine not running Many units will not function in this situation (e. g. brak e serv o unit, Elec tric Power Steering (EPS ) 3). Driving in this manner is a d ang er to y ourself and others. Brak e servo unit When the engine is not running, the brake servo unit is no longer effective once the footb rake has been depressed onc e or twice. Braking effect is not reduced, b ut significantly greater force is required for braking.
O verrun The fuel supply is autom atically shut off during overrun, e.g. when the vehicle is being driven down long gradients or when braking. To enable the overrun cut-off to take effect, do not acc elerate during overrun and on m anual vehicles, do not release the clutc h. To prev ent dam age to the c atalytic converter, overrun cut-off is tem porarily deactivated when the catalytic converter tem perature is high. Vehicles with turbocharged engine: Flow -g enerated noises may be aud ible if the a ccelerator is released quickly, on account of airflow in the turbocharger. Eng ine sp eed Drive in a low engine speed range for each gear as much as possible. Warmi ng up Allow the engine to warm up while driving. Do not w arm it up by letting it run at idling speed. Do not app ly full throttle until the engine has reached operating tem perature. After a cold sta rt, the Easytronic 3 does not sw itc h to higher gea rs until the speed increases when it is in Automatic mode. This a llows the catalytic c onverter to quickly reach the temp erature that is req uired for optimum emission reduction. Correct g ear selection Do not ra ce y our engine while the tra nsmission is in neutral or with a low gea r selected. Driving too fast in individual gears as well as stop-and-go traffic increases engine wear and 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. Clutch op era tion Alw ays dep ress the clutch ped al hard to the floor to prev ent shifting difficulties and tra nsmission dam age. When driving, do not use the ped al as a footrest; this will cause substantial clutch wear.
139
C ool ing fan The cooling fan is controlled v ia a therm oswitch and therefore only runs if nec essary . Depending on eng ine, cleaning the diesel particle filter 3 autom atically switches on the cooling fan. 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. ). Declutch w hen sta rting, in ord er to relieve the strain on the starter and the ba ttery.

End-of-Life vehicle recov ery For detailed information on Va ux ha ll s on-going comm itment to achieving an environmentally susta inab le future, including; design for recycling, take back of End-of-Life Vehicles (ELVs) and the recycling of ELVs, view www.va ux ha ll. 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 m iles / k ilom etres 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 possible to the specified levels see page 212. 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 freq uent 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 (one kilometre) of driving.
Saving fuel, protecting th e environment

Trend-set ting technology In the dev elopment and manufacture of your vehicle, environment-friendly and in the m ain recy clable materials were used. The p roduction method s used to make your vehicle are likewise env ironmentally 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.
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 see page 139. z To enable the overrun cut-off to come into action and sav e fuel, do not accelerate or d eclutch during overrun. 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 approx. 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, sk i-holders z Due to air resistance, a roof load can increase fuel consump tion by approx. 3.5 gal./1000 miles (1 l/100km ). z Remove them if they are not being used.
141
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 ignoranc e, 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 Follow the hints given above to keep consumption to a m inimum under suc h cond itions.
142

Fuels with ethanol content greater than 5% do not comply w ith DI N EN 228 a nd must not b e used unless the v ehicle ha s b een specifically develop ed a nd approved for these fuels. Fuel with too low an octane number can cause pinking. Vauxhall cannot be held lia ble for resulting dama ge. Petrol with a higher octane number can always be used. Do not use 91 octane petrol in v ehicles with the Z 16 LET 1) engine. The ignition tim ing is a utoma tica lly adjusted according to the grade of fuel used (octane number) see page 208. Use of petrol w ith a n oc ta ne rating of 95 will ensure economica l driving. For vehicles with Z 16 LET 1) engine, use of 95 RO N fuel reduces p erform ance a nd torque. 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. 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 vehicles driveability. 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. 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.
1)
Fuel consumption
Fuel consump tion is determined und er specific driv ing cond itions see page 212. 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. For the first few thousand m iles / kilometres, friction between the engine and transm ission com ponents is higher. This increases fuel consumption.
Fuel
Fuel for petrol engines Normal c om mercial high-quality fuels with a m aximum ethanol content of 5% in accordance with DIN EN 228 are suitable (for catalytic converter see pag e 145, for octane numbers see page 208). The quality thereof has considerable effect on the p erformance, running and serv ice life of the engine. The additives mix ed with the fuel are extremely im portant. For this rea son you must only refuel with highquality fuels containing additives.

9 Warnin g
Fuel is flam mable and explosiv e. When ha nd ling fuel or when in the immediate vicinity, avoid nak ed flames or sparks. Do not smoke. This also applies where the presence of fuel is rev ealed by its characteristic smell. If fuel odours occur in the vehicle, hav e a workshop eliminate the fault immediately .
Refu elling
9 Warning
C are m ust be taken when handling fuel. Before refuelling, turn off engine a nd also shut off ex ternal heaters with c om bustion chambers (id entified b y stickers on fuel filler ca p). Switch off mobile phones.

Correct filling depends to a la rg e ex tent on prop er operation of the fuel dispensing pump: 1. Fully insert the pump nozzle and switch it on. 2. At the autom atic sw itc h-off, the specified tank ca pacity is rea ched by means of metered refuelling (twice). Insert fuel d ispensing pump as far as possible. To close, place fuel filler cap in position and turn, ov ercoming the resistance until the ra tchet on the c ap enga ges audibly.
Fuel filler neck at right rear sid e of vehicle. The tank fla p is locked together w ith the doors see page 30. O pen the tank flap. To open, unscrew the fuel filler cap, remov e and suspend from the tank flap. The fuel tank has a limiting system whic h prevents overfilling of the tank.
Close tank flap. Wipe off any overflowing fuel im media tely.
Damage to the ca talytic converter or the vehicle may result if the follow ing points are not observed: z O n ignition faults, uneven running after cold start, a clear d rop-off in eng ine power or other unusual opera ting symptoms which could indica te a fault in the ig nition system, contac t a workshop immediately. C ontinue driving if necessary for a short time at low speed and low revs. Irregular engine running and a loss of eng ine power when the Electronic Stab ility Prog ra mme ESP P lu s 3 comes into action are due to the operating conditions and are therefore of no significance - see pag e 149.
145
z If unb urned fuel enters the cataly tic conv erter, this may result in overheating and irreparable damage to the c atalytic conv erter. You should therefore av oid unnecessarily long use of the starter when starting-off, running the tank d ry (an irregular fuel supply w ill lead to overhea ting) and starting the engine by pushing or towing.
Catalytic converter, exhaust gases

Ca talytic conv er ter for petrol engines Leaded fuel will damage the catalytic converter and parts of the elec tronic system, rendering them inoperative. Use of high-quality fuels other than those specified on page 142 (e. g. LRP 1) ) c ould dam age the catalytic conv erter.

Cata lyti c converter for d iesel engines Damage to the ca talytic converter or the vehicle may result if the follow ing points are not observed: z O n uneven running , a c lear drop-off in eng ine power or other unusual operating symptoms, c ontact a workshop immediately. C ontinue driving if necessary for a short time at low speed and low revs. Irregular engine running and a loss of eng ine power when the Electronic Stab ility Prog ra mme ES PP lu s 3 comes into action are due to the operating conditions and are therefore of no significance - see pag e 149.
z If the control ind icator Z flashes to indica te emissions, back off until the flashing stops and the control indica tor illuminates. Contact a w orkshop im med ia tely. Control ind ic ator for emissions Z , see page 147.
C ont rolling exhaust em ission S om e of the damaging substances in the exhaust such as carbon monoxide (CO ), hydrocarbons (HC) a nd nitrous oxides (NO x) are red uced to a minimum by ma king structural changes mainly in the injection system a nd the ignition system in conjunction with the catalytic converter.
Flashing with the engine running indicates a fault which could lead to catalytic conv erter damage. Y ou may c ontinue driving without d amage if you bac k off until the fla shing stop s and the control indica tor illuminates stea dily. C ontac t a work shop imm ediately.
147
Control indicator Z for ex haust Illuminates when the ignition is switched on and during the start a ttempt. Goes off shortly after the engine starts running. Illuminated with the eng ine running indicates a fa ult in the ex haust gas cleaning system . The permitted em issions may be ex ceeded . Contact a workshop immediately .
C ontrol indicator A for engine electronics Illuminates for a few seconds after the ignition is turned on. If it illuminates when the eng ine is running, there is a fault in engine or transmission electronics. The electronic sy stem switches to an emergency running p rogram me. Fuel consum ption m ay be increa sed and the driveability of the vehicle m ay be impaired. In some cases, faults can be elim inated by switching off the engine and restarting. If the control indicator illuminates again when the engine is running, contact a workshop to elim inate the c ause of the fault.
148

Exhaust gases Under c ertain driving cond itions, e.g . short journeys, the sy stem may not clea n itself automatically. If control indicator ! fla shes, drive on and as soon as road and traffic conditions allow, increase the speed to over 25 mp h (40 km/h) to start the diesel p article filter cleaning. Cleaning is quic kest at high speeds and under load . The engine speed should not fall below 2000 rpm. The control indicator goes out as soon as cleaning is complete. We recommend not switching off the ignition during cleaning.
If it illuminates briefly , but does not recur, it is of no significance. Illumination of control indicator A can indicate water in the diesel fuel filter 3 . Check diesel fuel filter for p ossible w ater residue, see page 230. If it flashes after the ignition is switched on, there is a fault in the imm obiliser sy stem. The engine ca nnot be started see page 27.
9 Warning
Engine ex ha ust gases contain poisonous carbon m onox id e, which is colourless and odourless and could be fatal if inha led. If exhaust gases penetrate the vehicle interior, open a window a nd contac t a workshop . During the first drive, smoke may develop because of wax and oil evaporating on the exhaust sy stem. Park the v ehicle in the op en for a while after the first drive and avoid inhaling the fumes. Di esel pa rticle filt er 3 The diesel particle filter sy stem filters ha rm ful soot particles out of the exhaust gases. The system c ontains a self-cleaning function at set interv als. The filter is cleaned by burning the soot pa rticles at high temperature. This process is autom atic in certain driv ing conditions and can take up to 25 m inutes. During this time, fuel consumption may be increa sed. Som e od our a nd sm ok e are normal.

Drive Control Systems

Electronic Stab ility Program me (ESP Pl us ) 3 ESP P lu s im proves driving stability as necessary in any driving situation regardless of the ty pe of road surface or tyre g rip . It also prevents the d riv e wheels from spinning. The system m onitors vehicle movements. As soon as the vehicle starts to swerve (understeers / ov ersteers) eng ine output is reduced (the sound of the engine cha ng es) and individual wheels are specifically braked . This considerab ly improves the driving stability of the vehicle on snow and ice and on wet or slippery road surfa ces. ESP P lu s is ready for operation as soon as the ignition is switched on and control indica tor v goes out. When ESP P lu s comes into action, control indica tor v flashes.
The vehicle is now in a critical situa tion; ESP Pl us allows you to keep control of the vehicle a nd reminds you to m atch your speed to the road conditions.

Illuminates after interruption of power supply e.g. after disconnecting battery . After a power supply interrup tion, the steering angle sensor must be calibrated to ma ke the system operational: z Automatic calibration driving in a straight line at a constant slow speed (12 to 25 m ph (20 to 40 km/h)) on a level, dry road. z Manual calibration by turning steering wheel from limit position to limit position. If the control ind ic ator does not go off after successful calibration, observ e notes in midd le column.
Control indicator v : Illuminates for a few seconds after the ignition is turned on. The system is ready for operation when the control indica tor goes out. Flashes w hile driving: This shows tha t the system has com e into action. The engine output may be reduced (the sound of the engine cha nges) a nd the vehic le ma y be braked automatically to a small degree.
Illum inates while driving: Fault in the sy stem. Driving ca n be continued. Poor road surface conditions may however still cause vehicle stability to be im paired. Have the ca use of the fault eliminated. Self-diagnosis integrated into the sy stem allow s rap id fault identification.
Crui se control 3 Cruise control can store and maintain speeds of approx. 20 to 125 m ph (30 to 200 k m/h). Dev ia tion from the stored speed is possible on uphill or d ownhill inclines. For safety reasons, the c ruise c ontrol cannot be activated until the footb rake has been applied once. The c ruise c ontrol is operated with the buttons I , R and O on the turn signal stalk. Do not use cruise control if it is not adv isable to maintain a c onstant sp eed (e. g. in situations presenting a danger to yourself and other road users, in heavy traffic or on winding , slippery or greasy roads). With Easy tronic 3, only use c ruise c ontrol when in Autom atic mode. When the cruise control is active, reaction tim es ma y b e increased due to the d ifferent position of the feet.
151
9 Warning
Even with cruise c ontrol activated, the driver has full resp onsibility for maintaining an app ropriate speed. Disregard of these instructions could lead to injury or danger to life.
C ontrol indicator m : Illuminates for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on. The system is now ready for operation. When driving, control indicator m will illuminate as soon as the system is switched on.
152

Ac celera te: With cruise control active, hold down button I or tap it repeatedly: the speed is increased c ontinuously or in steps of 1.2 m ph (2 km/h) without using the accelerator ped al. The current speed is stored and saved a fter the I button has been released. Decelerate: With cruise control active, hold down button R or briefly p ress it repea tedly: speed is reduced continuously or in steps of 1.2 m ph (2 k m/h). To deactivate: Tap button O : C ruise control is switched off. The vehicle slowly decelerates. To continue driving, depress the accelerator pedal in the usual way . For reasons of safety , cruise control deactivates under certain d riv ing conditions. For ex ample: z if the vehicles speed drops below approx. 20 mp h (30 km/h) or, z if the footbrake is d epressed or, z if the clutch pedal is dep ressed or, z if Easytronic 3 selector lev er in N . Resuming the stored speed: Tap button R at a speed a bove 20 mph (30 km/h): the speed selected before the cruise control w as switched off is resumed. The stored speed va lue is deleted when the ignition is switched off.
To activate: Tap b utton I: The c urrent speed is stored and maintained. The ac celera tor p edal can be released. Vehicle speed can be increased by depressing the accelerator pedal. When the a ccelerator peda l is released, the previously stored speed is resum ed.
The current speed is stored and saved a fter the R b utton has been released.
Park ing dista nc e sensors 3 Parking distance sensors make rev erse parking easier by measuring the distance between the rear of the vehicle a nd an obstacle throug h ultrasonic reflection, and by warning you with an acoustic signal in the p assenger compartment. The system record s the distance using four sensors in the rear bumper. To activate: The p arking dista nce sensors ac tiv ate automatically when the ignition is sw itc hed on and reverse gear is engaged . O perational rea diness is indicated by a brief tone. If the vehicle slowly gets close to an obstacle w hile rev ersing, an intermittent acoustic signal is audible in the passenger compartment when the vehicle tail is less than one m etre from the obstacle. The interval between the signals becomes shorter as the distance is reduced. If the distance is less than 30 c m, a continuous signa l is aud ible.
153
Towing equipment, carav an / tra iler towing: If a towing dev ice is sub sequently fitted to the vehicle, the system must be set to the modified vehic le leng th by a work shop. When operating without a tra iler, the tow bar must be removed , else the system can be dam aged. Fitting rear load ra cks 3: Rear load rack s, e.g . bicy cle rack s, fitted nea r the sensors could disrupt the system . Fault: O n sy stem faults, a permanent tone sounds at a dista nce of 1 metre from the obstacle. Have the cause of the fault elimina ted b y a work shop. In order to avoid operationa l problems or erroneous information, the sensors m ust be undamag ed a nd free of soiling, snow and ice.
9 Warning
Under certain circumstances, v arious reflective surfaces on objects or c lothing as well as ex ternal noise sources may cause the system to fail to d etec t obstacles. For this reason, care must be taken when rev ersing even if the parking distance sensors are operational. This is of particular importance when in the vicinity of p edestrians. To deactiv ate: The system d eactiva tes autom atically when rev erse g ear is disengaged.

Have worn brake pads replaced by a work shop. Tested a nd approved pads give optimum braking performance. Brake pads worn to the minimum level cause grinding noises. You may continue to drive but ha ve the pads replaced as soon as possible. To change the pad s, contact a workshop.
Brake system
The effectiveness of the brakes is a n important factor for traffic safety. To improve effectiveness, do not b ra ke unnecessarily hard for the first 125 miles (200 km) after new brake pads have been fitted. Brake pad wear must not exceed a specified limit. Regular maintenance as detailed in the Service Book let is therefore of the utm ost importance for traffic safety.
Brak e assi st If the footbrake is operated with a powerful push, the v ehicle is a utomatica lly braked at full brak ing power in order to achiev e the shortest possible braking distance when full-on braking occurs (braking assistant). Maintain steady pressure on the footbrake for a s long as full-on braking is to continue. When the footbrake is released, the ma ximum brak e force amplification is taken away . Ad aptiv e brake li ghts 3 During full-on brak ing, all three brake lights flash for the dura tion of ABS control.
Footbrak e The footbrake comprises tw o independent brake circuits. If one brake circuit fa ults, the vehicle can still be b ra ked with the other b ra ke c ircuit. However the braking effect will occ ur a t a lower pedal position and consid erably more force is required. The braking distance is longer. Contact a w ork shop before continuing to drive. To ensure that full pedal travel can be utilized, espec ia lly in case of a fa ult in one of the brak e circuits, there must b e no mats in the vicinity of the pedals see page 139. When the engine is not running, the assistance of the brake servo unit disappears once the footbrake has been depressed once or twice. Braking effect is not reduced, b ut b ra king requires significantly greater force. This is especially important to bear in mind when towing. Check the brake lights b efore starting out on a journey. Shortly after starting ea ch journey , the effectiveness of the brake system should be tested at low sp eed s a nd without inconveniencing other traffic, especially if the brakes are wet, e.g. after the vehicle ha s b een washed. The brake fluid lev el should be checked regularly. If the brak e fluid level is too low and the handbrak e is not applied, control indica tor R illuminates in the instrument cluster see page 87. Hill St art Assist 3 (HS A) The system helps pull away on inclines. After releasing the footb ra ke, if the ha ndb ra ke is not app lied, the brakes are only released after 2 second s. As soon as the acceleration is sufficient to prevent rolling ba ck, the brake is released.
155
Hand brak e Alway s apply handbrak e firm ly. O n slopes, app ly the handbrake as firm ly as possible. The mechanical handbrak e a cts on the brak es on the rear wheels. It eng ages automatically when app lied. To release the ha nd brake, p ull the lever up slightly , press the ratchet knob, and fully lower the lever. To reduc e the operating forces of the handbrake, ap ply the footbrak e at the same time.
156

For vehicles with Ea sy tronic 3 , the c ontrol indica tor flashes for a few seconds when the ignition is turned off, if the handbrake is not app lied.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS )

ABS continuously monitors the v ehicle s brak e system and prev ents the wheels from locking regardless of the road condition and ty re grip. It starts to regulate the braking pressure as soon a s a wheel shows a tendency to lock. The vehicle rema ins steerable, even in the event of v ery heavy braking, for insta nce on bends or when swerving to a void an obstacle. Ev en in the c ase of full-on brak ing, the ABS mak es it possible to drive round an obstacle w ithout releasing the brak es. ABS control is mad e ap parent throug h a pulse in the footbrake and the noise of the regula tion process.
9 Warning
If the control indicator illuminates when the handb ra ke is released, stop driving immediately. C ontac t a workshop .
Brak e system control i ndicat or R The c ontrol indicator illumina tes after the ignition is turned on, when the ha ndb ra ke is app lied or if the b ra ke or clutch fluid lev el is too low . Brake fluid see pa ge 232.
9 Warnin g
For op tim um brak ing, keep the footbrak e fully depressed throughout the b ra king process, despite the fact that the pedal is pulsating. Do not reduce the pressure on the pedal. Do not let this special safety feature tempt you into tak ing risks when driv ing. Tra ffic safety can only b e ac hieved by adopting a responsible d riv ing sty le.
9 Warning
If the control ind icator illum inates when the handbrake is released, stop driving im med ia tely. Contact a w ork shop.
Self-check Each time the ignition is turned on and the engine is started, after driv ing at a speed of approx. 2 m ph (3 k m/h), the system performs a self-check which may be audible. Fault
157
Hav e the cause of the fault elim ina ted by a workshop. The self-d ia gnosis integrated into the system allows rapid fault identification.
9 Warning
If there is a fault in ABS, the wheels may be subject to loc king due to braking that is heav ier than norm al. The advantages of ABS are no longer op erational. Cont rol indica tor u for ABS The c ontrol indicator illumina tes for a few seconds after the ignition is turned on. The system is ready for operation when the control indica tor goes out. 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.
You can continue driving, prov ided you drive with care a nd antic ipation.

Fit ting new tyres Fit ty res in pairs or in sets, which is even better. Ensure that tyres on one axle are: z the sam e size, z the sam e desig n, z the sam e ma ke, z and hav e the sam e tread pa ttern. Fit directional tyres such tha t they roll in the direction of travel. The rolling direc tion is indica ted b y a sym bol (e.g . an arrow) on the sidewall. Ty res fitted op posing the rolling direction (such as when changing a tyre) should be refitted as soon as possible. This is the only way to b enefit fully from the design prop erties of the ty re. When disposing of tyres, follow the lega l requirements. C ertain brands of tyre have a bea ded ed ge to protec t alloy wheels from dama ge. If wheel trims are used on steel wheels w ith beaded-edge tyres, the following procedure must be followed: z Use wheel trims and ty res tha t are approved by Vauxhall for the vehicle in question a nd therefore meet all the requirem ents pertaining to the respective wheel / tyre combination. z If the wheel trims and tyres used a re not Vauxhall-app rov ed, the tyres must not ha ve a beaded edg e.
Wheels, tyres
See page 216 for suitable tyres a nd restrictions. Tyres fitted in the factory are a dapted to the c hassis a nd provide optimum driving comfort and safety . Cha ng ing tyre / w heel t ype Before changing to other tyres or wheels, note the necessary c hanges. If tyres of a different size than those fitted at the factory are used, the electronic speedometer may require reprogramm ing to ensure that the correct speed is displayed.
9 Warnin g
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel trims could lead to sudden loss of air and thereby accidents.
9 Warning
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheels may lead to a ccidents and rend er the vehicle unroadworthy.
Tyre pr essure Check ty re pressure, including the spa re wheel, at least ev ery 14 day s and prior to any long journey; the ty res should be check ed when cold. Dont forget to check the spare 3.

Use the valv e cap key to m ake unscrewing the valve ca ps easier. The k ey is located on the inside of the ta nk flap. Ty re p ressure, see page 216. 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 pressures, tig hten the va lv e ca ps using the v alve cap key .
Incorrect inflation pressures will impair safety, vehicle handling, comfort and fuel econom y and w ill increase tyre wear. If the pressure is too low , this can result in consid erable tyre heating and internal dam age, lead ing to tread separation and even ty re blow-out at high speeds. Hidd en tyre dama ge is not elim inated by adjusting the inflation p ressure.
9 Warnin g
Incorrect ty re pressure could lead to a flat tyre.

Check tyres regularly for dama ge (p enetrated foreign bodies, punctures, cuts, c ra cks, bulges in side walls). Chec k wheels for dam age. If dam age or unusual wear is found, contact a work shop.
9 Warning
Dama ge m ay lead to ty re blow-out.
Tyre cond ition, w heel condi tion Drive over edges slowly and at a rig ht angle if p ossible. Driving ov er sha rp edges can lead to hidden ty re damage a nd wheel dam age which is only noticed later on. When pa rk ing, ensure that the tyres a re not pressed against the ed ge of the kerb .

Temporary spare wheel 3: 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. For notes on the tem porary spare wheel see pages 178, 216. C ha nging wheels see page 178.
Winter tyres 3 For notes on fitting new tyres see page 158. See page 216 for restric tions. Winter tyres (M + S tyres) improve safety at tem peratures below 7 C and should therefore be fitted on all the wheels. The d esign of summ er tyres mea ns they have limited qualities for winter driving. If the maxim um perm issible speed for the winter ty res is less than that of the vehicle, a notice ind icating the ma ximum permissible speed for the tyres must be affixed within the drivers field of v ision 1). If y ou use the spare wheel when it is fitted with a summer tyre, the v ehicle s driveability may be affected, espec ia lly on slip pery roa d surfaces. Ob ta in a rep la cement for the faulty ty re as soon a s possible, and hav e the wheel balanced and fitted to the v ehicle. Wheel c overs 3 If the wheel trims and tyres used are not Vauxhall-approved , mak e sure that the tyres d o not hav e a bea ded edge see page 158.
Tyre chains 3 Limitations and further information see p age 216. Ty re chains are only permitted on the drive wheels (front axle). They must be fitted to the tyres sym metrically in order to achiev e 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).

Drivin g and Operation Caravan / trailer towing
C arava n and tra iler loads 1 ) The permissib le carav an / tra iler loads are vehicle-dependent and engine-dependent ma ximum v alues which must not be exceeded. The actua l carav an / trailer load is the d ifference between the actual gross weight of the carav an / tra iler and the actual c oupling socket load with the carav an / tra iler coupled. When the caravan / trailer load is being checked , therefore, only the caravan / trailer wheels and not the jockey wheel must be sta nding on the weig hing app aratus. The permissib le carav an / tra iler loads for y our v ehicle are specified in the vehicle documents. Unless otherwise specified, they are valid for gradients up to ma x. 12%.
Dismounting the coupling b all ba r Unloc k coupling ball bar (key to position 1 see page 164, Fig. 12416 T). Pull turn k nob out a nd turn it forwards as far as it will go. Rem ov e c oupling ba ll bar downwards out of coupling housing . Fold away the socket see page 164, Fig. 15271 S. Insert the sealing plug in the hole for the coupling ball ba r. Do not use steam-jet clea ners or other high-pressure cleaners to c lean the coupling ball ba r.
Stowa ge of coupling b all b ar Plac e coup ling ball bar in bag, as show n on page 163 in Fig . 14195 S, and attach next to vehicle tools, benea th the spare w heel. On vehicles with a ty re repair kit 3 , the coupling b all bar is stored in the left stowage compa rtm ent beneath the floor cover in the luggage compartment - see illustration a bove.
1)
Ob serve n atio nal regula tions.
The p ermissible carav an / trailer load should b e fully utilised only b y drivers who are adequa tely experienced in towing large or heavy carav ans / trailers. The p ermitted caravan / trailer loa d applies up to the specified incline and up to an altitude of 1000 metres above sea-level. Since engine power decreases as altitude increases because of the air becom ing thinner, therefore reducing climbing ability, the p ermitted towing weig ht a lso decreases by 10% for every 1000 m etres of additional altitude. The towing weight does not have to be reduced when driv ing on roads with slight inclines (less than 8%, e.g. m otorway s). The a ctual caravan / trailer load plus the actual gross weight of the tow ing vehicle must not exc eed the m aximum p ermitted towing weight. For exam ple, if the permitted Gross Vehic le Weight is utilised, the caravan / trailer load must only be used until the max imum permitted towing weight is reached. The m aximum permitted towing w eight is shown on the identification plate see page 206. Coupling soc ket load The coupling sock et load is the load exerted by the caravan / trailer on the coupling ball. It can be varied by cha nging the weight distribution when loading the caravan / trailer. The max im um perm issible coupling sock et loa d (55 kg ) of the towing vehicle is specified on the towing equipm ent identification plate and in the vehicle docum ents. This m ust alway s b e comp lied with, particularly in the case of heav y caravans / tra ilers. The coupling socket loa d should be no less than 25 k g. When m easuring the coupling sock et load, make sure that the draw bar of the loaded caravan / trailer is at the same height as it will be when the c aravan / trailer is coupled with the towing v ehicle loaded. Particularly important for c aravans / trailers w ith tand em axle.
167
Rear a xle load during t owing With the carav an / tra iler connected and the tow ing vehicle fully loaded , including all occupants, the permitted rear axle load (specified on identification plate and vehicle d oc um ents) m ay be exceeded by no more than 25 kg , and the maxim um permitted Gross Vehicle Weight by no more than 30 kg. If the ma ximum permitted rear a xle load is exceeded, a maxim um sp eed of 60 m ph (100 km /h) applies, and 50 mph (80 k m/h) for commercial vehicles. S lower nationa l ma ximum speed limits for towed vehicles must be complied with.
168

Handling is greatly influenced by the loading of the caravan / trailer. Load s should therefore b e sec ured so that they cannot slip , and should be placed in the centre of the c aravan / trailer if possib le, i.e. ab ov e the axle. In the case of ca ra vans / trailers with low driving stability, do not ex ceed a speed of 50 mp h (80 km/h); the use of a friction-typ e stabiliser is strongly recommended. Do not drive faster than 50 m ph (80 km/h) if possible, even in countries where higher speeds are permitted.
Tyre pr essure O n the towing vehicle, increase the tyre pressure to the value g iven for full load see page 216. Also check ty re pressures of the trailer wheels and the spare wheel 3.
Pictur e no: 9358t.tif
Dr iving charact eristi cs, towing tips In the case of caravans / trailers with brakes, atta ch the break-away stopp ing cable to the eye (arrow in illustration). 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 snaking. Check caravan / trailer lighting b efore starting to drive. The fog tail light on the vehicle is deactiv ated w hen towing a caravan or trailer. Carava n / trailers with LED turn signals must hav e a provision that mak es it possible to monitor standard light bulbs. Turn signa l control indicator - see page 86.
Mak e sure that y ou ha ve enoug h room when cornering and avoid sudden ma noeuv res. 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 footbrak e as hard as possible. Remem ber that the braking d istance for vehicles towing carava ns / trailers w ith and without brakes is always greater than that for vehic les not tow ing a carav an / trailer.
When driving downhill, the brakes a re under considerab ly m ore load when towing a cara van / trailer. For this reason, drive in the same gear as if driv ing uphill and drive at a similar speed. In Automatic mode, the Easytronic 3 automatically selec ts the drive programme with optimum engine brak ing effect. The cooling fan is electrically operated. Its cooling power is therefore independent of the engine speed. Since a considerable amount of heat is generated at high engine sp eed s a nd less at slower speeds, d o not shift down when climbing hills while the vehicle is still coping with the g ra dient in the higher gea r. Diesel engines: O n gradients of 10% or more, do not drive faster than 20 mph (30 km /h) in first gear or 30 m ph (50 km/h) in second gear.
169
Before starting-off under extreme conditions (high combination weight, mountainous terrain w ith steep inclines), switch off all unnecessary electrical loads (e.g. heated rear window, air conditioning system 3, heated front seats 3 ).
Start ing on inclines For vehicles with manual transm ission, the most fav ourable eng ine speed when starting-off on an incline is between 2500 and 3000 rpm for petrol engines and between 2000 and 2500 rpm for diesel engines. Hold engine speed constant, engage clutch gradually (let slip), release ha ndb ra ke and open throttle. If possible, the engine speed should not drop d uring this procedure. For vehicles with Easy tronic 3 in Automa tic mode, sim ply app ly full gas.

General inform ation Depending on the model variant, the sp are wheel m ay be in the form of a tem pora ry spare wheel 3. R efer to the notes on this pag e and pages 162, 216. O n vehicles with alloy wheels 3, the sp are wheel m ay have a steel rim. If y ou use winter tyres 3, the sp are wheel ma y still be fitted with a summer tyre. If y ou use the spare wheel, the v ehicle s handling ma y be altered. O btain a replacement for the fa ulty tyre as soon as possible, and have the w heel balanced and fitted to the vehicle. The spare wheel ma y have a smaller tyre and a smaller rim than the wheels mounted on the vehicle1 ): Using the spare wheel may alter the driving behaviour of the v ehicle. Hav e the defective tyre replaced as soon as possible, balance the wheel and have it mounted on the vehic le.
For vehicles w ith a tyre repair k it 3, the tools a re stowed tog ether with the tyre rep air kit in the stowage compartment beneath the floor cover in the luggag e compartment.
The spare wheel is in a rec ess in the floor of the vehicle and is screw ed d ow n with a wing nut. To access the spare wheel, remove the lugg age compartment c ov er 3 see page 54, lift the floor c ov er using the ha ndle and raise tow ards the front. Fold the spare wheel cov er up towards the front. Stowi ng standard size tyres i n the spa re wheel w ell The spa re wheel well is not designed for all sizes of commercia lly availab le ty res. If a larger wheel m ust be stow ed in the sp are wheel well after changing wheels, place the floor cover on the ov erlaying wheel.

Vehicle ca re a ids 3 Vehicle wash: z Wash brush, z C ar Shampoo, z C ar Sponges, z Insect Removal Sponge, z C ham ois Lea ther, z Wheel cleaners, z Engine clea ners, z Glass cleaners. Vehicle care: z Paintwork Cleaner, z Paintwork Polish, z Metallic Paintw ork Wax, z Hard wax, z Touch-up pens, z Touch-U p / Aerosol Paint, z Wheel Preserver, z Insect Remover, z Window Cleaning Spray , z Vauxhall Wind screen Wash Solvent, z Silicone Oil for Rubber Seals, z C leaner, z Alloy Wheel Cleaner, z Alloy Wheel Preserver, z Rust Preventa tiv e. Washing The paintwork of your vehicle is exposed to env ironmental influenc es, e.g. c ontinuous changes in w eather conditions, industrial waste gases and dust or thawing salts, so wash a nd wax your vehicle regularly . When using autom atic car wa shes, select a programm e w hich includes w axing. Bird d ropp ings, dead insec ts, resin, pollen and the like should be cleaned off imm ediately, a s they contain aggressive constituents which can ca use paint dam age. If using a car wash, comply with the pertinent instructions of the manufacturer of the car wash. Windscreen wiper and rear window w ip er must be switc hed off, see pag es 11 and 12. Unscrew antenna 3 and roof-mounted luggage carrier 3, stand on door sill to reach them more ea sily. If y ou wash your vehicle by hand, make sure that the insides of the wings are also thoroughly rinsed out. C lean edges and folds on opened doors and flaps as well as the a reas they cover. Thoroughly rinse off a nd leather-off the vehicle. Rinse leather frequently. Use sepa ra te leathers for paint and window surfac es: rem nants of wax on the windows will im pair vision. O bserve national regulations.
Vehicle care
When caring for your vehicle, observe all nationa l environmental regulations, particularly when washing it. 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 a p rerequisite for warranty claims for any paint or corrosion dam age. The following pages conta in tips for vehicle care which, if used properly, w ill help combat the unav oida ble damaging effec ts of the environm ent.

Waxing Wax y our vehicle regularly, in particula r after it ha s b een washed using shampoo, and at the latest when water no longer forms bead s on the paintwork, otherwise the p aintwork will dry out. Also wax edges and folds on opened doors and flaps as well as the areas they cover. Polishing Polishing is necessary only if the paint has become dull or if solid deposits have become attached to it. Paintwork polish w ith silicone forms a protective film, making wa xing unnecessary. Plastic body p arts should not b e treated with wax and polish. Use M etallic Paintwork Wax on v ehicles with a m etallic-effect paint finish. Wheels Use a p H-neutral wheel clea ning a gent to clean the wheels. Wheels are painted a nd can be treated with the sam e agents as the body . For a lloy wheels, w e recommend use of Alloy Wheel Preserver. Pa intwork dam age Repair m inor p aintwork damage such as stone chips, scratches etc. im mediately using a touch-up pen or spray, before rust forms. I f rust has alread y formed, have a work shop eliminate the cause. Also check the surfaces and edges facing the roa d surface on which rust m ay have d eveloped unnoticed for some time.
203
Exterior lights Headlight and other protectiv e light bezels are made of plastic. If they require add itional cleaning after the vehicle has been wa shed , clean them w ith C ar S ham poo. Do not use any a brasiv e or caustic agents, do not use an ice scraper, and d o not clean them dry. Plastic and rubb er parts If the car wash does not clean plastic and rubber parts adeq ua tely, use cleaner suita ble for vehicle interiors. Do not use any other a gent, and in particular do not use solvents or petrol. Wheels a nd tyr es Do not use high-pressure jet c leaners on wheels and tyres.

Seat belts Alw ays keep seat belts clean and dry. Clea n only with luk ewarm water or C leaner. Wi nd ows When cleaning the heated rear w indow, make sure that the hea ting element on the inside of the window is not dama ged. Use a soft lint-free c loth or cham ois leather in conjunction with Window Cleaning Spray and Insect Remover. Vauxhall Windscreen Wash Solvent is suitable for defrosting w indows. For mechanical rem oval of ice, use a commerc ia lly availab le sharp-edg ed ice scraper. Press the scraper firmly ag ainst the glass so that no dirt c an get under it and scra tch the glass. Windscreen wiper b lades Wax, such as that used in car w ashes, can cause strea king on the windscreen when the wiper is used. S mearing wiper blades c an be cleaned with a soft cloth and Vauxhall Wind screen Wash Solvent, and rep la ced if necessary see page 233. Locks The locks are factory-lubricated with a hig h quality lock cylinder grease. This p revents the lock s from freezing. O nly use de-icer in urgent c ases as this destroys the grease and d amages the func tion of the loc ks. After using de-ic er, hav e a workshop regrease the locks.
Interior and upholstery Clean the v ehicle interior, includ ing the instrument panel facia, using interior cleaner. The instrum ent panel should only be cleaned using a soft damp cloth. Clean fabric upholstery with a vacuum cleaner and b rush. To rem ove stains, use cleaner that is suita ble for both fab ric s and vinyl. Do not use cleaning agents such a s acetone, tetrachloride, p aint thinner, paint rem ov er, na il varnish remover, washing powder or bleach. Petrol is also unsuitable. O pen Velcro fasteners on clothing could dam age seat upholstery . Mak e sure that Velcro fasteners are closed.

Eng ine compar tment Look after areas in the engine compartment that are p ainted in the same colour as the vehicle like any other paintwork. It is adv isable to wash the engine compartment before and after winter and preserve it with wax. Before engine washing, cover alternator and brak e fluid reserv oir with plastic sheeting. When washing the engine with a steam-jet cleaner, do not d irect the steam jet at components of the Anti-lock Brak e Sy stem (ABS), the automatic air conditioning sy stem 3 or the b elt driv e and its components. Engine washing also rem ov es subsequently applied protec tiv e wa x. Therefore after washing, have a workshop protect the engine, parts of the b ra king sy stem in the engine bay, axle elements with steering , body elements and cav ities, thoroughly with protective wax . An engine wash can be performed in the spring in ord er to remove dirt that has adhered to the engine compartment, which may also ha ve a high sa lt content. Check p rotective wax layer and make good if necessary. Do not use high-pressure jet clea ners in the engine compartment. Underbody Your vehicle has a factory-app lied PVC undercoating in the wheel arches (including the longitudinal mem bers) which prov ides permanent protec tion and needs no special maintenance. The surfaces of the vehicle underbody not covered by PVC are provided with a durable p rotective wax coating in critic al areas. On vehicles which are washed frequently in autom atic car washes with underbody washing facility, the protective wax coating may b e impaired by d irt-dissolv ing additives, so check the underbody after washing and ha ve it waxed if necessary . Before the start of the cold weather season, check the PVC c oa ting a nd protective wax coating and, if necessary , have them restored to perfect condition.
205
C aution - comm ercially ava ilab le bitum en / rubber materials can damage the PVC coating. We recom mend that y ou ha ve underbody work ca rried out by a workshop, who knows the p rescrib ed ma terials and has ex perience in the use thereof. The underbody should be washed following the end of the cold weather season to remov e any dirt adhering to the underbody since this may also contain salt. C heck p rotective wax c oa ting and , if nec essary , have it restored to perfec t condition.

The direc tiv e is oriented to actual driving practices: Urba n driving is rated at approx. 1/ 3 and extra-urban driving at 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. The figures given m ust not be taken as a guarantee for the actual fuel consumption of a p artic ular vehicle. All values are b ased on the EU base model with standard equipment. The calculation of fuel consumption as spec ified by directive 1999/100/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 num ber of litres/100 km.

The combined total of front a nd rear ax le loa ds must not exceed the perm issible Gross Vehicle Weight. For exam ple, if the front ax le is bearing its m aximum permissib le load, the rear axle can only bear a load that is eq ua l to the Gross Vehicle Weight m inus the front axle load. When the tra iler is coupled and the towing vehicle fully loaded (including a ll oc cup ants), the permissible rear axle load (see identification plate or vehic le docum ents) may be exceeded by 25 kg and the permissible Gross Vehicle Weight by 25 kg. If the permissible rear axle loa d is exc eeded, a max imum speed of 60 mph (100 km/h) a pplies. If national regula tions specify a low er ma ximum speed for vehicles towing a trailer, this must be ob served. See the identification plate or v ehicle docum ents for permissib le ax le loads. Roof loa d The permissib le roof load is 75 kg. The roof load consists of the weight of the roof rack p lus the load carried. Driving hints see page 138. Roof racks 3 see page 163.

Genuine Vauxhall Parts and Accessories

We rec om mend that you use "Genuine Vauxhall Parts and Accessories" a nd conv ersion p arts released ex pressly for your vehicle type. These parts ha ve undergone spec ia l tests to establish their reliability, safety a nd specific suitability for Vauxhall v ehicles. Despite continuous market monitoring, we ca nnot assess or guarantee these attributes for other prod uc ts, even if they hav e b een granted approval by the releva nt authorities or in some other form. "Genuine Vauxhall Parts and Accessories" and conversion parts approved by Vauxhall c an be ob tained from y our Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, w ho c an prov ide expert adv ic e on permitted technical changes and ensure correct installation.
A note on safety
To av oid injury from moving parts and cab les conduc ting ignition voltage, only carry out engine c om partment checks (e.g. checking brake fluid or engine oil level) when the ignition is switched off.
9 Warnin g
The cooling fan is controlled by a thermosw itc h and can therefore start unexpectedly ev en if the ig nition is switched off. Risk of injury . Electronic ignition system s generate very hig h voltages. Do not touch the ignition sy stem; high voltage can b e fatal.
228
Never carry out any repairs or adjustm ent and m aintenance work on the vehic le yourself. This especia lly applies to the engine, chassis and safety parts. You may unwittingly infringe the provisions of the law a nd , by not performing the work properly , end ang er y ourself and other road users.
Engine oil
Information on eng ine oils is found in the Serv ic e Booklet. Engine oil l ev el and consumpt ion Every engine consum es engine oil for technical rea sons. The oil consum ption cannot b e assessed until a fairly long distance has been driven, and ma y be above the specified value when the v ehicle is first being driv en (run-in p eriod). Frequent driving at high revs increases engine oil c onsumption. In vehicles w ith engine oil level check 3 , the engine oil level is checked automatically see p age 88. It is p artic ularly advisable to check the engine oil lev el b efore emb arking on a long journey.
Checking and to pping up fluids

To aid id entific ation, the caps used when topping up engine oil, coolant and w ash fluid as well as the oil dipstick are coloured yellow.
Engine oil level check , topp ing up engine oil The oil level must be checked with the vehicle on a level surface and w ith the eng ine (which must be at operating temperature) switched off. Wait at least 5 minutes before chec king the level, to allow the norm al oil accumulation in the eng ine to drain into the oil pa n.
9 Warnin g
Important: It is the owners responsibility to maintain the correc t level of an appropriate qua lity oil in the engine.
229
To check the engine oil level, insert wiped oil dipstick into dipstick tube as far as it will go. Top engine oil up if the lev el has dropped into the range of the top -up m ark MIN . The engine oil level must not exceed the upper mark M AX on the dipstick. Excess engine oil must be drained off or extracted. If the engine oil level is above the MAX mark, there is a risk of damag e to the engine or the ca ta lytic converter. The a mount filled must be between the MIN and MA X marks see pag e 219.
Top up with the same brand of engine oil that was used during the previous oil cha ng e, following the instruc tions in the Serv ic e Booklet. To close, position the cap and screw it into place. Capacities see page 219.
Engine oil change, oi l filter chang e Hav e oil c hanged by a workshop as a function of the service interval d isplay . We recommend that you use g enuine eng ine oil filters.
9 Warning
Do not allow the engine oil to drop below the minimum level!
230
Service, Maintenance Diesel fuel filter

At each eng ine oil chang e, hav e the d iesel fuel filter 3 c hecked for any wa ter residue by a workshop. Illum ination of control ind icator A indica tes water in the diesel fuel filter. Have diesel fuel filter checked at shorter intervals if the vehicle is subjected to extreme opera ting conditions, such as high humidity (primarily in coastal areas), extremely high or low outside temperatures, and substa ntially varying daytime and night-time temperatures.
Coolant
The glycol-based coolant p rov id es excellent corrosion protection for the hea ting and cooling sy stems as well a s anti-freeze protection down to 28 C. It rema ins in the cooling sy stem throughout the yea r and need not be changed. Use of certain anti-freez es can lead to eng ine damage. We therefore recommend that you use only approved anti-freez es.
9 Warnin g
Anti-freeze is a danger to health; it must therefore be kept in the original container and out of the reach of children.
9 Warning
Used engine oil cannot be disposed of with domestic refuse. Observ e the legal requirements for disposal of old oil and filters, to protect the environment and your health.
231
When the engine is at op erating temperature, coolant lev el rises. It falls aga in when the system cools. If it falls below the KALT/C OLD mark when the system is cold, top up to the mark. Top up a nti-freeze. If no anti-freeze is av ailable, top up with clean tap water. If tap water is unavailable, distilled water can b e used. After filling with tap water or d istilled water, measure the anti-freeze concentration and ad d anti-freez e if required. H ave a workshop establish the cause of the coolant loss. Too low a coolant level can cause engine dam age. To close, position the cap and screw it into place.
Anti-fr eeze a nd corrosion protect ion Before the start of winter, have a w orkshop check the a nti-freeze protection. The antifreeze level must guarantee protection down to app rox . -28 C. Insufficient antifreeze will reduce the frost protection level and the corrosion protection. If necessa ry , add anti-freeze. If coolant loss is topped up with water, have concentration checked and ad d antifreeze if necessary.
Coolant lev el Hardly a ny losses occur since the cooling sy stem is sealed , and it is thus ra rely necessary to top up the coolant. The coolant should be a little above the KALT/COLD ma rk in the expansion tank with a cold cooling system. The coolant level can also be read off from the outsid e of the ex pansion tank.
9 Warning
Allow engine to cool down before rem oving coolant filler cap. Rem ov e coolant filler cap carefully so that pressure can escape slowly, otherwise there is a risk of scalding.
232
Use of certain brake fluids can lead to dam age or reduced braking effect. We therefore rec om mend that you use only app rov ed high-performance brake fluid. Absolute cleanliness is important when topping up, since contamination in the brak e fluid can c ause brake sy stem ma lfunctions. After c orrecting the brak e fluid level, have a work shop eliminate the cause of the brak e fluid loss.
Coola nt temperat ure If the temperature ga uge enters the red zone, check the coola nt level im med ia tely. z Coolant level too low: Ad d coolant. See notes under "Antifreeze and c orrosion p rotection" and "Coolant lev el". Have a w orkshop eliminate the cause of the coolant loss. z Coolant OK : Have the cause of the raised c oolant temperature elim ina ted. Contact a work shop.
Brake fluid
Brake fluid lev el
9 Warning
Brake fluid is poisonous a nd corrosive. Do not allow it to come into contact with eyes, skin, fab ric or painted surfaces. Direct contac t could cause injury and dam age. The brake fluid lev el in the reservoir m ust be neither higher than the MAX mark nor low er than the M IN m ark.

Brak e fluid chang e 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 occur in the w ater which can have an extrem ely adverse effect on braking power (depending on the proportion of w ater). The b ra ke fluid c hange intervals spec ified in the S ervice Booklet must therefore b e observed.
233
Windscreen wiper
Clea r vision is essential for safe driv ing. Therefore, check wind screen wiper and headlight wash/wip e system 3 regularly for cleaning effect. We recomm end replacing the wiper blades after a y ear at most. If the windows are dirty, op erate the wind screen wash before switching the wiper on, in order to prevent wiper blade wear. Do not switch windscreen wiper on if wind ow s a re icy , since this may damage the wiper ed ges or the w ip er system. If the wiper becomes froz en on to the glass, we recom mend that it be released w ith the aid of Vaux hall De-icer Spray before starting the v ehicle, to prev ent w iper motor damage. Smearing wiper blades can be c leaned with a soft c loth and Vauxhall Windscreen Wash Solvent.
Wiper blades whose lips have become hardened, crack ed or covered with silicone must be replac ed. This may be necessary as a result of the effects of ic e, thawing salt or hea t, or the incorrect use of cleaning agents. S witc h off w indscreen wiper if using a car wash see p ages 11, 204. Wiper care see page 204.
9 Warning
Have the brak e fluid changed by a work shop. O bserve the legal requirements for disposal of brake fluid, to protect of the environm ent and y our health.

Service, Maintenance Protecting elec tro nic components

In order to prevent faults in electronic components in the electrica l sy stem, nev er connect or disconnect battery with engine running or ignition switched on. Never start engine w ith b attery disconnected, e.g. when starting using jump leads. To avoid dam aging the v ehicle, do not make any m od ifica tions to the electrical sy stem, e.g. connecting additional consumers or tamp ering with electronic control units (chip tuning). Disconnecting/connecting the b attery from /t o the electr ical syst em Disconnect the b attery from the vehic le electrical system before charging : First detach the negative and then the positive lea d. Do not reverse the p ola rity of the battery, i.e. do not confuse the term ina ls for the positive and negative leads. When connecting, start with the positive lead a nd then connect the neg ative lead.
Retro-fitting of electrical or electronic accessories can discharge or add extra load to the battery . O btain advice on the tec hnical p ossibilities, e. g. use of a more powerful ba ttery, from a workshop. Parking the vehicle for more than 4 weeks can lead to ba ttery discharging. This may red uce the service life of the b attery. Disconnect battery from on-board power sup ply by disconnecting the neg ativ e term inal. The Vaux hall alarm sy stem 3 siren m ust b e deactivated as follows: switch the ignition on then off, disconnect the vehicles battery within 15 sec onds. Ensure ignition is switched off before connecting battery. Then perform the follow ing actions: z Set date a nd time in information display see pa ge 94, z If necessary, activate the window elec tronics 3 see page 40, z Calibrate steering angle sensor (ES PP lu s ) 3, see pag e 150. In order to prev ent the b attery from discharging , som e c onsumers suc h as the courtesy light automatically switch off after approx. 30 minutes.
9 Warning
Electronic ignition systems generate very high voltages. Do not touch the ignition system; hig h voltage can be fatal.
