Curt ain airb ag system 3 The c urtain airbag sy stem triggers in c ase of a side-on collision and provides a safety barrier in the head area on the respective side of the vehicle. This reduces the risk of injury to the head considerably in case of a side-on collision. Active head restraints 3 P arking distance s ens ors 3 In the event of a rear-end impact, the active head restraints automatically tilt forwards. The head is more effectively supported by the head restraint and the danger of hyperextension in the neck a rea is reduced. The parking distance sensors automatically switch themselves on w hen reversing. Ac tiv e hea d restra ints are identified by the lettering AC TIVE on the head restra int guid e bushes. If the v ehicle approaches an obstacle when reversing, a series of signals can be hea rd in the vehicle interior. The interv al b etween the signals becomes shorter as the distance is reduced. If the distance is less than 30 cm, the sig nal will be continuous. 6 Further information – see page 195. 6 Further inform ation – see page 93. 31 Instruments Control indicators Airb ag system s 3 , belt tensioners see pages 88, 98. ?

Air outlet Do not cover over the air outlets when storing items in the luggage compartment storag e comp artments. 174 Polle n filter General information The pollen filter cleans the air entering from outside and filters dust, soot, pollen and spores from the interior air if the air recirculation sy stem is active. If the windsc reen m ists up during dam p weather, set a utoma tic air cond itioning as desc ribed in " Window d emisting and deicing" – see page 169. The filter must be replac ed in a ccordance with the intervals spec ified in the Servic e Book let. The electronic air conditioning system functions most efficiently when the windows and sun roof 3 are closed. If the passenger compartment ha s heated up consid erably after a long period in direct sunlight, briefly open the windows and sun roof 3 so that the heated air can quickly esca pe. For trouble-free operation of the electronic air conditioning sy stem, d o not c ov er over the sensor between the air vents in front of the wind screen. When the cooling (cooling compressor) is active, c ondensate will form and will be released from the underside of the vehicle. Mainte nance In order to ensure continuously efficient performance of the electronic air conditioning system it must be switched on once a month for a few minutes, irrespec tiv e of the wea ther and time of year, with the cooling (cooling c om pressor) opera tional. If a fa ult occ urs in the electronic air conditioning system , consult a workshop. We recommend a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. The system’s integrated selfdiagnostic s a llows faults to be quic kly rem edied. 175 Automatic transmission After sta rting the engine, press brake pedal before selecting a gear. After a gear ha s been selected and the brake p edal has been released, the vehicle "creeps". Never op erate accelerator and brak e at sam e tim e. Disregard of these instructions may lead to injuries or endanger life. Once D has been selected, the economy driving p rogra mme is operative. Position D is g enerally ideal for d riv ing. If the accelerator peda l is depressed gently and ev enly the transmission w ill shift into the fuel-saving gears at an early stage. The gear need be cha nged m anually only in exc eptional cases. S elect 3, 2 and 1 only when automatic shifting up is to b e avoided or if additional use is to be made of the engine braking effect. Select D ag ain as soon as driving conditions perm it. Selector lever in P , R and N P Park position. Front wheels locked. Only with v ehicle stationary and handbrake on. R Reverse. To be enga ged only with v ehicle stationary. N Neutral. The selector lever can only be moved from the P position with the ignition switched on and the foot brake operated (selector lev er lock). The engine can only b e started with lever in position P or N . When position N is selected, press foot brake or enga ge handbrak e before starting. Do not accelerate during the selection procedure. 176 z Tra nsmission automatically selects neutral (N) to red uce fuel consumption, e.g . when stopped at traffic light.

The braking action is most effective in gear 1. If gear 1 is selec ted at too high a speed, the transmission remains in second gear until the shift p oint for first gear is reached, e.g . as a result of deceleration. Winter programm e 3 Kickdown In the event of starting-off diffic ulties on slip pery roa ds, press button T (can be opera ted in P, R, N, D and 3 – c ontrol indicator T lights up). The v ehicle starts off in third gear. When the accelerator pedal is depressed bey ond its resistance p oint below certain speeds, the transmission shifts down into a low er gear. Full use is made of the engine power for acceleration. The w inter programme is sw itc hed off by: z Pressing button T again z Shifting to 2 or 1 manually z Turning off the ignition. In order to prev ent dama ge, the winter programme switches off automatically at high transmission oil temperatures. 178 Stopping the ve hicle The selector lever can be left in the chosen gear with the engine running. When stopping on gradients, engage handbrake or depress brake ped al. To prevent overheating of the tra nsmission, do not increa se engine revolutions to ensure smooth idling while standing if a gear has been selected. S witc h off engine if stopping for a leng thy period , e.g. in traffic jams or at level crossings. "Rocking the car" Manoe uvring the vehicle If it becomes necessary to rock the vehic le to free it from sand, m ud, snow or a hole, move the selector lever from D to R in a rep eat pa ttern while simultaneously apply ing light pressure to the ac celera tor pedal. Do not race the engine a nd avoid sud den acc eleration. To manoeuvre the vehicle b ack and forth during attempts to park or in garage entrances, the vehicle's c reep ing movem ent can be utilized by releasing the brake peda l. This a pplies only to the exc eptional circumstanc es mentioned above. Nev er ac tuate accelerator and b rake pedals simultaneously . Before lea ving the v ehicle, apply handbrake then pla ce selector lev er in position P and remov e ignition key . If the ignition k ey is not removed , the battery may be discharged if the vehicle is then left to sta nd for a lengthy p eriod of time. The ignition key can only be rem ov ed when the selector lever is in position P. 179 The transm ission no longer shifts autom atic ally. Driv ing can be continued. Second gear is not a vailable. Engag e first, third or fourth gear m anua lly using selector lev er: 1 2 3 D N R P Fault Control indicator A illuminates when the ignition is switched on.

Mount selector lever trim on centre console a nd refit. 6. Refit cover on centre console below handb ra ke. 181 Driving hints Many units w ill not function in this situation (e.g. brake servo unit, electro-hydraulic power steering). Driving in this ma nner is a danger to y ourself a nd others. Diesel engine: On rising gradients of 10 % or more, do not drive faster than 20 mph (30 km/h) in 1st gear or 30 mph (50 km /h) in 2nd gear; with automatic transmission 3, do not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h) in position 1. Brake servo unit Driving with a roof load Never coast with engine not running If the engine is not running, the effect of the brake servo stops after the brake ped al has been dep ressed once or tw ic e. This does not reduce the braking effect, but significantly more brake pedal pressure is required to operate the brak e. Power ste ering The first 600 miles / 1000 km Drive your vehicle at v arious speeds. Do not use full throttle. Never allow the eng ine to labour at low revs. Make good use of all gea rs. Depress the accelerator pedal a maximum of around three quarters of the ava ila ble ped al 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 ). If the power-assisted 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. Do not exceed the perm issible roof load – see pages 204, 267. For reasons of safety, distribute the loa d ev enly a nd secure it properly with reta ining straps so that it cannot slip . Set the ty re p ressure to the va lue sp ecified for a full load. Do not drive faster than 75 m ph (120 km/h). C heck and retig hten the straps frequently. Switching off the e ngine When you switch off the engine, fans in the eng ine compartm ent may continue running for a time to cool the engine. Driving in mountainous te rrain or with a caravan / trailer If the engine temperature is very high, e.g. after driving in mountainous terrain: allow the engine to id le for approx im ately two minutes in order to prevent heat acc um ulation. Since a considerable amount of heat is genera ted at high engine speeds and less at slower speeds, do not shift d ow n when climbing hills whilst the v ehicle is still coping with the gradient in the higher g ear. Vehicles with engine Z 20 LET 1 ): 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. The cooling fan is electrically operated. Its cooling p ow er is therefore independent of the engine speed. 1) 182 Sales des ig nation – see p ag e 263. Save energy – more miles Engine s pe ed Clutch operation Please observe the running-in hints on the previous pag e and the tips for energ y saving on the following pages. Driv e in a low engine speed range for each gear a s m uc h as possible. Alway s d epress the c lutch pedal hard to the floor to p revent shifting difficulties and transmission damage. Good, technica lly correct and economical driving ensures ma ximum durability and performance for your vehic le. Overrun 3 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, if in manual transm ission mode, do not declutch. To prevent dam age to the cata ly tic converter, overrun cut-off is temp orarily deactivated when the cataly tic conv erter temperature is high. 20 LET 1 ): Vehi cles w ith engine Z Flow -g enerated noises may be aud ible if the a ccelerator is released quickly on account of airflow in the turbocharger. Warming up Allow the engine to warm up while driving. Do not warm it up by letting it run at idling speed. Do not apply full throttle until the engine has reached op erating temperature. Following a cold start, the automatic tra nsmission does not shift into the hig her gears until a fairly high eng ine speed has been reached. This ensures that the catalytic converter quickly attains the temperature required for optimum pollutant reduction. Correct gear sele ction Do not ra ce the engine whilst in neutral or with a low gea r selected. Driving too fast in indiv idua l gea rs as well as stop-a nd -g o tra ffic increases engine wear a nd fuel consumption. Change down! When driving do not use the pedal as a footrest; this will cause sub stantial clutch wear. P edals 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. Battery care 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 seats). Declutch w hen sta rting, in ord er to relieve the strain on the starter and the ba ttery. When decreasing speed, shift down into the nex t lowest gear. Do not slip the clutch with a high-revving engine. This is especially important when hill climb ing. 1) Sa les desig nation – see pa ge 26 3. 183 Save fuel, protect the environment New painting techniques employ wa ter as a solv ent.

This is ex tremely worthwhile and im proves quality of life. Fuel consumption depends to a great extent on your own personal driving style. The follow ing hints are intended to help you consume fuel at a rate that is as close as possible to the specified lev els – see page 265. Check your vehic le’s fuel consum ption every time you refuel. This facilita tes early detection of a ny irregularities causing increased fuel consumption. Warming 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 quantity of emission and the p roportion of polluta nt in the ex haust z Do not accelerate a nd brake unnecessarily . Drive at uniform speed Avoid frequent starting off and stopping e.g . at traffic lights, in short distance tra ffic and in queues of traffic by m eans of clever planning . Select road s w ith good traffic flow Idling z The eng ine also consumes fuel when idling z If you have to wait for more than one minute, it is worthwhile switching off the engine. Fiv e m inutes of idling corresponds to ap prox imately 0.6 miles (1 k ilom etre) of d riv ing Overrun 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 183. z To enable the overrun cut-off to take effect a nd sav e fuel, during overrun do not ac celera te and do not declutch. Corre ct gear selection z High revs increase engine w ear and fuel consumption. z Do not race your engine. Avoid d riv ing at high engine speeds. Driv ing with an ey e on the tachom eter saves fuel. I f possib le, drive a t low rev s in each gear and a t a consta nt speed. Driv e in top g ear as m uch a s p ossible, shift up as soon as possib le and do not shift down until the engine is no longer running truly . High speed z The faster the speed, the higher the consumption and the noise level. Driving at full throttle uses up a g reat deal of fuel and generates ex cessive noise a nd hig h emission levels. z Slightly relea sing the accelerator ped al results in distinct fuel savings with no major loss of speed. Drive at no more tha n around three quarters of max imum speed and you will use up to 50 % less fuel, without losing a great deal of time. Tyre inflation pres sure z Inadequate ty re p ressure, leading to higher road resistance, costs m oney in two wa ys; more fuel and increa sed tyre wear. z Regular checks (every 14 d ays) pay off. Electrical loads z The power consum ption of electrical equip ment increa ses fuel consumption. z Sw itch off additional consumers (e.g. air conditioning 3, hea ted rear window) when they are no longer required. Roof racks, ski-holders z Roof loads can increase fuel consump tion by approx. 3.5 g al./1000 miles (1l/100 km) due to a ir resistanc e. z Remove them if they are not being used.

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. 185 Fuel consumption, fuel, refuelling Fuel for petrol e ngines Fuel for diesel engines Commercially av ailable high-quality fuels are suitable (ca talytic converter – see page 188, octane numb ers – see page 263). Fuel quality has a decisive influence on the power output, running behaviour and serv ice life of the engine. The additives contained in the fuel play an important role in this regard. You should therefore only use high-q uality fuels containing add itiv es. Diesel engines m ust be operated only on comm ercially av ailable diesel fuel meeting the specifications of DIN EN 590. Do not use m arine diesel oils, heating oils or entirely or partially plant-based diesel fuels, such as rape seed oil or bio diesel, Aquazole and similar diesel-water emulsions. Fuel with too low an octane number can cause pinking. Vauxhall cannot be held lia ble for resulting dama ge. Diesel fuels with improv ed low-tempera ture 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. Petrol with a higher octane number can always be used. Fuel cons umption Fuel consump tion is calculated under set driving conditions, see pages 265, 266 Special equipment increases the weight of the v ehicle. As a result, they can increase fuel consump tion and reduce the specified speed. There is increased friction betw een engine and transmission parts during the first 600 miles / 1000 kilometres. This inc reases fuel consum ption. 186 Pump noz zles for lead ed fuel cannot be inserted into the filler neck of v ehicles that op erate on unleaded fuel. The ignition is automatically adapted depending on the typ e of fuel that is put into the tank (octane number) – see page 263. Use of petrol w ith a n oc ta ne rating of 95 will ensure economica l driving. The flow and filterability of diesel fuel a re temperature-dependent. Use of diesel fuels with m anufacturerguaranteed winter properties, as well as the outside temperature-sensitive hea ted diesel fuel filter, eliminates the need for add itiv es. C orrect filling depends to a large extent on proper operation of the fuel disp ensing pump: Refuelling Care must be taken when handling fuel. Before refuelling , switch off engine a nd any ex ternal hea ters with combustion cha mbers before refuelling. Switch mobile phones off. 1. Fully insert the pump nozz le and switch it on. 2. After the automatic cut-off, the nominal capacity of the tank ca n be obtained by top ping up with two doses of fuel. Make sure the nozzle is fully inserted. Petrol is flam mable and explosiv e. Please therefore av oid na ked fla mes and sp arks when handling fuel, even when you are in the v icinity of fuel. To close the filler cap, refit it and rotate it aga inst resista nce until the filler cap ratchet audibly click s. Do not smoke! This also applies in plac es where petrol can only b e detected by its characteristic smell. If y ou can sm ell petrol in the vehicle, have the ca use remedied im med ia tely. We recommend tha t you consult a Vauxhall Authorised R epairer. C lose fuel tank cov er. Fuel filler neck at right rear side of vehicle. Wipe off a ny ov erflowing fuel immediately . The fuel tank cover is unlocked together with the doors. Open the tank flap . To op en, unscrew fuel tank cover, rem ov e and suspend on tank flap. The fuel tank has a limiting sy stem which prevents ov erfilling of the tank. 187 Catalytic converter, exhaust gases Dama ge to the catalytic conv erter or the vehicle m ay result if the following points are not observed : z Consult a work shop, such as a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, as quickly as possible in the event of misfiring, irregular engine running following a cold start, a significant loss of engine power or other unusual malfunctions which may indica te a fa ult in the ignition sy stem. If necessary, d riv ing may be continued for a short time at a low speed and with a low engine speed. Catalytic converter for petrol engines 3 Leaded fuel will da mage the cata ly tic conv erter and parts of the electronic sy stem, thereby rendering them inoperative. Use of high-qua lity fuels other than those specified on p age 263 (e. g. LRP 1) ) could damage the catalytic converter. On vehicles with a c atalytic converter, the fuel ta nk filler nec k is of a narrow design so that a dispensing pump for leaded fuel cannot b e inserted . 1) 188 LRP = L ead Rep la cem ent Petro l. Irregular engine running a nd a loss of engine power when the Traction Control sy stem 3 or the Electronic Stability Program me 3 come into action are determined b y the op erating conditions and are therefore of no significance – see pages 192, 193. z If unb urnt fuel enters the c atalytic conv erter, this may result in overheating and irrepairable damag e to the catalytic conv erter. You should therefore av oid frequent cold-starts, unnecessarily long use of the starter when setting off, running the tank dry (an irreg ular fuel supp ly lea ds to overhea ting) and starting the engine by pushing or towing. z If the emission control indicator Z flashes, slow down until the flashing stops and the c ontrol indicator is lit with a steady glow. C ontact a workshop im med ia tely. We recomm end a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. Emission control indica tor Z – see page 190. Catalytic converter for dies el engines 3 Damage to the ca talytic converter or the vehicle may result if the follow ing points are not observed: z C onsult a workshop, such a s a Va ux ha ll Authorised Repairer, as quickly as possible in the event of irregular engine running, a significant loss of engine power or other unusual malfunctions. I f necessary , driving may be continued for a short time at a low speed and with a low engine speed. Irregular engine running and a loss of eng ine power when the Traction C ontrol system 3 or the Electronic S ta bility Programme 3 com e into action are determined by the opera ting conditions and a re therefore of no sig nificance – see p ages 192, 193. Controlling exhaust emission Throug h design-rela ted measures – mainly in the area of the fuel-injection and ignition systems – the proportion of nox ious ma terials in the exhaust, such as carbon monoxide (CO ), hydrocarbons (HC) a nd nitrogen oxides (NO x), is reduced to a minimum. 189 Flashing with the engine running indicates a fault that may damage the catalytic conv erter. You can continue to drive without causing damage by slowing down until the fla shing stop s and the control indica tor is stead y. C onsult a workshop immed iately. We recommend tha t you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. Cont rol indica tor Z for exhaust Lights up when ignition is switched on a nd rem ains illuminated during starting. Goes out shortly a fter engine starts. C ont rol indic ator A for eng ine electronics Lights up for a few second s when ignition is switched on. An illumina ting indica tor with the engine running is an indication of a fault in the emission control system. The permitted emission values may be exceeded. Contact a w orkshop imm ediately. We recomm end that you consult a Va ux ha ll Authorised Repairer. If the light comes on when the eng ine is running, there is a fault in the engine or transmission electronics. The electronics switch to limp-home mode, fuel consum ption m ay increase and the driveability of the vehicle may be affected . 190 In some cases, the fa ult c an be remedied by switching the engine off and on aga in. If the c ontrol indicator lights again when the eng ine is running, consult a workshop to have the cause of the fault rem edied. We recommend a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. If it lights up briefly and then goes out again this is of no significance. If it flashes w hen the ignition is on there is a fault in the imm obiliser sy stem – see pa ge 59. Exhaust gas es – avoid inhaling! Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide, which has no colour or odour and can b e fatal if inhaled. If exhaust fumes penetrate the vehicle interior, open the windows and consult a workshop immediately . We recommend that you consult a Va ux hall Authorised Repairer. When the v ehicle is driven for the first tim e, wax a nd oil on the exhaust system may evap orate, producing smoke-like emissions. Allow wax and oil to evaporate while the vehicle is in op en air. Av oid inhaling. Mainte nance Hav e a ll maintenance work carried out at the intervals sp ecified by Vauxhall. We recommend that you entrust this work to a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who has proper equipm ent and trained personnel av ailable. Electronic testing systems permit rapid diagnosis and remedy of faults. This way you can b e certain that all components of the vehicle’s electrica l, injection and ignition systems operate correc tly , that your vehicle has a low level of pollutant emission and that the catalytic converter system will ha ve a long service life. Y ou are thereby making an im portant contribution towards keeping the air clean and c om plying with emissions legisla tion. The inspection w ork inc ludes testing and adjusting the fuel injection system and the ignition sy stem. For this reason, ha ve all service work carried out at the intervals spec ified in the S ervice Booklet. 191 Drive control systems The TC is ready for operation as soon as the ignition is switched on and the control indica tor v goes out. When TC is operating, v flashes. The vehicle is now in a critica l situation; the TC allow s you to keep control of the v ehicle and rem inds y ou to m atch your speed to the road conditions. Do not let this special safety fea ture tempt you into ta king risks when d riv ing. Traffic safety c an only be achieved by adopting a responsible driving style. Traction Control System (TC) 3 The TC (Traction Control system ) 3 prevents the driving w heels from spinning, irrespec tiv e of the roa d condition a nd tyre grip. The system monitors the rotational speed of all wheels. As soon as at least one driving wheel starts to spin, the eng ine output is reduced (the sound of the engine changes) a nd the spinning wheel is braked. This im proves the vehicle's directional control and driving power, particularly on snow and ice as well a s on wet or slippery roads. 192 Control i nd icator v Lights up for a few seconds when ignition is switched on. The system is now ready for op eration. Flashing during driving: This shows the sy stem has come into action. The engine output ma y be reduced (the sound of the engine changes) and the vehicle may be braked automatically to a sma ll degree. Lit during driving: Fault in TC system. Vehicle can continue to be driven. Driv ing stability m ay be worse if driving style is not adapted, depending on acc eleration and ty pe of road surface because of drive wheel spinning. Hav e the cause of the fa ult remedied. We recommend that you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer. The sy stem’s integrated self-diagnostics allows faults to be quickly remedied . Lit during driving: Fault in ES P sy stem. Vehicle can continue to b e driven. Howev er, driving stability may worsen depending on ty pe of road surface. Ele ctronic Stability Program me (ESP ) 3 The ESP (Electronic Stability Program me) improves driving sta bility when necessary, independently of the type of road surfa ce and the tyre grip in a ny driving situation. It also includes the Traction Control system (TC) function. The system monitors vehicle m ovements. As soon as the vehicle tends to swerv e, the engine power is reduced (engine noise changes) and individ ual wheels are specifically braked. This considera bly improves the driving stability of the vehicle, particularly on snow and ice and on wet or slip pery roa d surfaces. The ESP is rea dy for operation a s soon as the ig nition is switched on and the control indicator v goes out. When the ESP comes into action, v flashes. The vehic le is now in a critical situation; the ES P allows you to keep control of the vehic le and reminds you to match your speed to the road conditions. Hav e the cause of the fa ult remedied. We recommend that you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer. The sy stem’s integrated self-diagnostics allows faults to be quickly remedied . Do not let this special safety fea ture tempt you into ta king risks when d riv ing. Traffic safety c an only be achieved by adopting a responsible driving style. Control i nd icator v Lights up for a few seconds when ignition is switched on. The system is now ready for op eration. Flashing during driving: This shows the sy stem has come into action. The engine output ma y be reduced (the sound of the engine changes) and the vehicle may be braked automatically to a sma ll degree. 193 Reduce With cruise control a ctiv e, hold down button R or tap it repeatedly: The speed is reduc ed c ontinuously or in steps. Cruis e control 3 The cruise control mak es it possible to store and m aintain a ny sp eed from approx. 20 mph (30 k m/h) to almost max imum speed. The current speed is stored and sa ved after the R button ha s b een relea sed. For safety reasons, the c ruise c ontrol cannot be activated until the foot brake has been activated once. To deact ivat e: Tap button O : The cruise control is switched off. The vehicle slowly decelerates. To continue driving, dep ress the accelerator ped al in the usua l way. The c ruise c ontrol is operated with the buttons I , R and O on the turn signal stalk. Do not use the c ruise 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 autom atic transmission, it is a dvisa ble to sw itc h on the cruise control only w hen D is engaged. When the cruise control is active, reaction times may be increased due to the different position of the feet. Disreg ard of these instructions may lead to injuries or end ang er life. For reasons of safety , cruise control is switched off in certain driving conditions, e.g.: To activ ate: Ta p button I: The current speed is stored and maintained. The acc elera tor p edal can be released. The vehic le speed ca n be increased by depressing the a ccelerator peda l. When the accelerator pedal is released, the previously stored speed is resumed. Increase 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. 194 z The vehicle's sp eed drop s below ap prox . 20 mp h (30 km/h) or z The brake pedal is depressed or z The clutch pedal is dep ressed or z The selector lever of vehicles with autom atic transmission is set to N. Resuming t he 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 is erased when the ignition is switched off. Towi ng eq uipment, c arav an / trailer tow ing If towing eq uipm ent is fitted to the vehicle, the sy stem must be set to the a ppropriate vehicle length. We recommend that you contact a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. Parking distance se nsors 3 The parking distance sensors mak e reverse parking easier by measuring the distance between the rear of the vehicle a nd an obstacle through ultrasonic reflection a nd warning you with an a coustic signal in the passenger com partment. Fitti ng rear load racks 3 Rear load rack s, e. g. bicy cle ra cks, fitted nea r the sensors could disrupt the system . The system record s the distance using four sensors in the rear bumper. When the ig nition is sw itched on, the parking distance sensors are autom atically enab led w hen reverse gear is selected or the selector lev er is moved to R in vehicles with a utoma tic transm ission. Readiness for opera tion is indicated by brief acoustic alarm. 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. The system registers the distanc e by m eans of four sensors on the rear bump er. To ensure that the sensors function correctly and that the information provided is correct, they must be undam aged and free of dirt, snow and ice. Under certain circumstances, v arious reflective surfaces on objects or clothing 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 w hen reversing even if the parking distance sensors a re opera tional. This is of particular importance when in the vicinity of p edestrians. Fault If a sy stem fault occurs, a continuous acoustic signal is sounded at a dista nce of one metre from the obstacle. Hav e the cause of the fault remedied . We recommend that you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer. The sy stem’s integrated self-diagnostics allows faults to be quickly remedied . 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. 195 Brakes Brake system The efectiveness of the brakes is an important fa ctor for traffic safety . To improve effectiveness, do not brake unnec essarily ha rd for the first 125 miles (200 km) after new brak e p ads ha ve been fitted. Brake pad wear must not ex ceed a specified lim it. Reg ular maintenance as detailed in the S ervice Booklet is therefore of the utmost im porta nce for traffic sa fety. Have worn brake pads replaced. We recommend that you consult a Va ux ha ll Authorised Repairer, who will fit pads that ha ve b een tested a nd approved by Vauxhall and guarantee optimum braking power. Brake pads which have worn down to minim um thickness will squeal. Driv ing may be c ontinued. Have the b rake pads replaced as soon a s p ossible. We recommend a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. Foot bra ke The foot brak e comprises two independent brak e circuits. If one brake c ircuit fails, the vehicle can still be braked using the other b ra ke circ uit. If this occurs, how ever, the brake peda l m ust be depressed farther a nd considerable force must be used before braking effec t is felt. Braking distance increases. Seek the help of a workshop before continuing to drive. We recomm end a Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer. To ensure the full peda l travel can be utilized, especially in case of a fault in one of the b ra ke circuits, there m ust be no ma ts in the area of the ped als – see page 183. 196 With the engine stopp ed the servo assistance is discontinued after the brake pedal has been depressed once or twice. The brak ing action will not be reduced but increased foot pressure will be necessary. Take ex tra care when the vehicle is being towed . Check the brake lights b efore starting out on a journey. On v ehicles with check control 3 the brake lights are check ed automatically – see page 48. Just before sta rting a ny journey, check effectiveness of brake system at slow speed and w ithout obstructing m ov ing traffic, particularly if b ra kes are wet, e. g. after driv ing through a car wash. The b ra ke fluid level should be check ed reg ularly . If the brake fluid level is too low and the hand brake is not ap plied, control indicator R on the instrum ent panel lights up – see page 33. Handbra ke Alw ays apply handb ra ke firmly . On slopes apply the handb ra ke as firmly as possible. The mechanical handbrake a ffects the rear wheel brakes. They automatically engag e when the lever is pulled. To release the handbrake, lift lev er slightly, press knob and lower lever. Brak e system control indicat or R C ontrol indicator lights up when ignition is switched on if handbrake is applied and/or fluid lev el for brak e system or clutc h hydraulics is too low. Brake fluid lev el – see page 250. If it lights up when the ha ndb ra ke is not applied : Stop the vehic le; interrupt y our journey immediately . C onsult a workshop. We rec om mend a Vaux hall Authorised Repairer. 197 ABS u The Anti-lock Brak e S ystem (ABS ) 3 continuously monitors the vehicle’s brake system a nd prevents the wheels from locking regardless of roa d condition and tyre grip. It starts to regulate the braking p ressure as soon as a w heel shows a tendency to lock. The v ehicle remains steera ble, even in the event of very heavy braking, for instance on bends or when sw erving to av oid an obstacle. Even in the ca se of full-on braking, the ABS makes it p ossible to drive round an obsta cle without releasing the brakes. 198 AB S control is m ade apparent through a pulse in the brak e pedal a nd the noise of the reg ulation process. To achieve optimum b ra king, keep the brake ped al fully depressed throug hout the braking proc ess, despite the fact tha t the pedal is pulsa ting. Do not reduce the pressure on the ped al. Do not let this special safety feature tempt y ou into taking risks when driving. Tra ffic safety can only b e ac hieved by adopting a responsible d riv ing sty le. If there is a fault in the ABS , the rear wheels may tend to lock in the event of unusually heavy braking. This may cause the vehicle to swerve. The benefits of the ABS are lost. Y ou can continue driving, provided y ou drive with care and anticipation. Hav e the cause of the fa ult remedied. We recommend that you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer. The sy stem’s integrated self-diagnostics allows faults to be quickly remedied . Cont rol indica tor u for ABS When the ig nition is sw itched on, the control indica tor lig hts up for a few seconds. At the sam e time, the sy stem performs a self-check which m ay be audible. The system is ready for operation when the control indica tor g oes out. If the control indicator does not g o out after a few seconds, or if it lights up during driving, there is a fault in the ABS. The vehic le's brake system remains operational without AB S reg ulation. 199 Wheels, tyres Tyre s See pag e 270 for suitable ty res and restrictions. Factory-fitted tyres are matched to the cha ssis and offer optimum d riv ing c om fort and safety. Changing tyre / wheel type Before c hanging to ty res or wheels of a different size, seek advice as regards technical possibilities. We recommend that you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who will be awa re of any necessary changes. When using different tyre sizes than those fitted in the w ork shop (including winter tyres), the electronic speedometer m ay need reprogramm ing in ord er to ensure that the speed display is ac curate. Use of unsuitab le tyres or wheels m ay lead to accidents and render the vehicle un-roa dworthy . 200 Fitti ng new tyr es Plea se fit ty res in pairs. Sets would be ev en better. Replace tyres on a n axle with; z The same siz e, z The same design, z The same make, z The same tread pattern Fit directional tyres such that they roll in the direction of trav el. The rolling direction is indicated by a symbol (e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall. Tyres fitted opposing the rolling direction (e.g. when a tyre is changed) should be refitted as soon as possible. This is the only way to benefit fully from the d esign properties of the tyre. We recommend that you hav e your ty res chang ed b y a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who will b e familiar w ith the requirem ents of the law a s regards disposal of tyres and can thus help to protect the environment and your health. Tyre inflation pressure Check ty re pressures, including the spare wheel, at least ev ery 14 day s and prior to any long journey; the ty res should be check ed when cold. Don't forget to check the spare. Use the v alve cap key to make unscrewing the valve caps easier. The key is located on the inside of the tank flap. Tyre pressure, see page 270, and the adhesive foil beneath the fuel tank flap; have a dhesiv e foil replaced after changing to different tyre size. Increa sed pressure resulting from tyre warm-up must not be red uced, otherw ise the p ressure may drop below the permissible minimum. Incorrect infla tion pressures will imp air safety, v ehicle handling, comfort and fuel economy and will increase tyre wear. If the pressure is too low, this can result in considera ble ty re warm -up and internal damage, leading to trea d separation and even to tyre blowout at high sp eeds. Hidden ty re d amage is not eliminated by subsequently adjusting the inflation pressure. Incorrect ty re pressure may result in tyre blowout. Tyre condition, wheel condition Drive ov er edges slowly and at right angles if possible. Driving ov er sharp ed ges can cause concealed damag e to ty res and wheels that only becom es noticeable later. Do not trap ty res when pa rk ing. C heck ty res regularly for d amage (foreign bodies, punctures, cuts, cracks, bulges in sidewa lls). C heck wheels for dam age. In the event of damag e or ab normal wear, consult a workshop. We recommend a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. Damage may lead to tyre blowout. After having checked the ty re p ressures, tighten the valve caps using the valve cap key. 201 z Never fit used tyres the previous history and use of which you do not k now z So as not to impair b ra ke cooling, use only wheel covers ap prov ed for use on your vehicle Tyre d esigna tions Meaning s: e.g. 195/65 R 15 91 H Tread dept h Check tread depth regularly. Should the front tyres show greater wea r than the rear tyres, have both front wheels ex cha ng ed with the rear wheels so that the tyres w ith deeper tread are on the front ax le. Tyres should be replaced for safety rea sons if tread dep th drops below 2-3 m m (4 mm for winter tyres). The leg ally permissible minimum trea d depth (1.6 mm) has been reached when the tread has worn down as far as one of the wear indicators (TWI1 )). A number of wear indicators are sp aced at eq ual intervals around the tyre within the trea d. Their position is indicated by m arkings on the tyre sid ewall. General i nformati on z The risk of aq ua planing is considerably greater with less trea d depth z Tyres age, even if they a re used only very little or not at all.

In such cases, remove the wheel covers – see pag e 220. Winter tyre s For notes on fitting new tyres - see page 200. See page 270 for restric tions. Tyre cha ins may only be used at sp eeds up to 30 mph (50 km/h) and, when trav elling on roads that are free of snow , they m ay be used for brief periods only since they are subject to rap id wea r on a hard road a nd ma y sna p. Winter tyres (M+ S tyres) im prove safety and should therefore be fitted on all 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 driver's field of vision 1 ). When using spare wheel with summer tyres: Driv ing behav iour m ay differ. Replace defective ty re as quick ly as possible, bala nce wheel and fit to v ehicle. Tyre chains See pag e 270 for restrictions. Ty re chains are only p ermitted on the front wheels. Alw ays use fine mesh chains that add no more than 15 m m to the ty re tread and the inboard sides (including chain lock).

The Vauxhall Authorised Repairer has instructions on how to install the towing equipment a nd any modifications that are required to the vehicle that affect the cooling system or other equip ment. Mounting dimensions of caravan / trailer tow ing equipment - see page 275. Towing e quipme nt with detachable coupling ball bar 3 Disreg ard of these instructions may lead to injuries or end ang er life. Vehicle passengers should be informed according ly . Roof racks 3 For reasons of safety and to avoid dam aging the roof, we rec om mend that you use the Va ux ha ll roof rack system released for y our v ehicle. A Vaux hall Authorised Repairer will be happy to provide you more informa tion. Driving hints – see page 182. 204 St orage of coupli ng ball bar The coupling b all bar is stored in a bag, strapped into the left side of the storage compa rtm ent in the luggag e compartment floor beneath a cover with a rubber stra p. When inserting, ensure that the rotary handle of the coupling ball ba r is fac ing upwards. To open the c om partment, lift carpet, turn metal ring and pull – see page 216, Fig. 14530 T. Fit ting the coupl ing bal l bar Remove the cover for the bumper cutout: Push the two slider catches in towards the middle of the vehicle and rem ov e the cover downwards. Remove the sea ling plug from the hole for the coupling ball bar. Store both items awa y in the lugg age com partment. 205 Checking the tensioning of the c oupling ball b ar: z Red m arking on rotary knob p oints towa rd s w hite marking on coupling ba ll bar z Gap of approx. 4 millimetres between rotary knob and coupling ball bar z Key is in lock at p osition 1 Otherwise, the coupling ball bar must be tensioned before it is inserted into the coupling housing: z Unlock coupling ball bar (key to position 1 – see Fig. 12416 T) z Pull rotary knob out and turn it forwa rd s as far as it will g o – see illustration Inserting the coupling b all bar: Insert the tensioned coupling ball ba r into the coupling housing and push firmly upwards until the coupling ball bar eng ages in position. The rotary knob sna ps back into its home position resting a gainst the coup ling ball bar. Do not touch the rota ry knob when inserting the coupling ball bar – risk of injury. 206 Imp or tant Check that the coupling ball bar is correctly attached: z Green marking on rotary knob points towards white marking on coupling ball bar z No gap between rotary knob a nd coupling ball b ar z C oupling ba ll bar must be seated firm ly in coupling housing z C oupling ba ll bar must be locked and key m ust be rem oved Loc k coupling ball ba r (key to position 2 – see page 206, Fig. 12416 T). Remove key and press protective flap into position. When the coupling b all bar is locked the rotary knob can no longer be pulled out.

Do not use steam -jet cleaners or other high-pressure clea ners to clean the coupling ball b ar. 207 Caravan and trailer loads1) The p ermissible carav an / trailer loads are vehic le-dependent a nd engine-dependent max imum values which must not be exceeded. The ac tual carava n / trailer load is the difference b etween the actual gross weight of the carav an / trailer and the actual coupling socket load with the carava n / trailer coupled. When the carava n / trailer load is being checked, therefore, only the c aravan / tra iler wheels and not the jockey wheel, m ust b e standing on the weighing apparatus. The p ermissible carav an / trailer loads for your vehicle are given in the v ehicle documents. Unless otherwise stated, they are valid for grad ients up to max. 12 %. 1) Ob serve na tion al reg ulations. 208 The permitted c aravan / trailer load must only be used by drivers with adequate exp erience driving large or hea vy trailers. The specified towing weight only applies to the specified incline and a ltitudes up to 1000 m etres ab ov e sea lev el. S inc e engine power degrades as elevation increases because of the lower air density at greater altitudes and climb ing cap ability therefore decreases, the towing w eight must be reduced by a further 10 % p er 1000 metres of additional altitude. When d riv ing on road s w ith few inclines (less than 8 %, e. g. motorwa ys) the total towing weight does not hav e to be reduced. The actual caravan / trailer loa d plus the actual g ross vehicle weight must not exceed the max imum permitted towing weight. For ex ample, if the perm itted gross vehicle w eight is utilised , the c aravan / trailer loa d must only be used until the ma ximum permitted tow ing weight is reached. The max imum permitted tow ing weight is shown on the identification plate – see page 260. Coupling s ocket load The c oupling socket load is the load exerted by the carav an / tra iler on the coupling b all. It can be va ried by changing the w eight distribution when loa ding the carava n / trailer. The ma ximum permissible coup ling socket load (75 kg) for the towing v ehicle is indicated on the towing equipment identification plate and in the v ehicle documents. Alway s aim for the m aximum load, particularly in the ca se of heavy carava ns / trailers. The coup ling socket load should never fall below 25 kg . 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 trailers / carav ans w ith tand em axle. Rear axle load during towing When the caravan / trailer is coupled and the tow ing vehicle fully loaded (including all occupa nts), the permissib le rear axle load (see identification plate or vehicle documents) ma y be ex ceeded by 75 kg and the gross v ehicle w eight rating by 45 kg. If the permissible rear a xle loa d is exceeded, a maxim um sp eed of 60 m ph (100 km/h). applies. If na tional regula tions spec ify a lower maxim um sp eed for vehicles towing a ca ra van / trailer, this must be observed. 209 Do not drive ab ov e 50 mph (80 km/h) when using caravans / tra ilers with poor driving stability, a nd the use of a friction-type roll dam per is urgently recomm ended . C heck c aravan / trailer lighting before starting to drive. The fog tail lig hts on the vehicle a re deactivated when towing a carav an or trailer. Do not drive faster than 50 m ph (80 km/h) if possible, even in countries where higher speeds are permitted. Mak e sure that y ou ha ve enoug h room when cornering and avoid sudden ma noeuv res. Tyre inflation pressure Driving characteristics , towing tips Increa se the ty re pressure of the towing vehic le in acc orda nce with the loa d, for tyre pressures - see page 270. Also check the pressure of the carav an / trailer wheels and the spa re wheel. In the case of carav ans / trailers with b rake, attach break away stopping ca ble to eye. Before a tta ching the carava n / trailer, lubricate the ball of the ca ra van / trailer tow ing devic e. H ow ever, do not do so if a stabiliser, which acts on the coupling ba ll, is being used to damp rolling motions. Handling is greatly influenced by the loa ding of the carav an / trailer. Loads should therefore be secured so that they cannot slip and be p laced in the centre of the carav an / trailer if possible, i.e. abov e the axle. 210 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 . The cooling fan is electrically operated. Its cooling power is therefore independent of the engine speed. If it is necessary to a pply the brakes fully, depress the brake ped al as hard as possible. 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 whilst the vehicle is still coping with the g ra dient in the higher gea r. Remember that the bra king dista nce for vehicles towing ca ravans / trailers with a nd without brak es is always greater than the braking distance for vehicles not towing a caravan / trailer. Diesel engines: O n rising gradients of 10 % or more, do not drive faster than 20 mph (30 k m/h) in 1st g ear or 30 mph (50 km/h) in 2nd gea r; with automatic transm ission 3, in position 1 do not ex ceed 25 mph (40 k m/h). When coupled to a carav an / trailer the vehic le requires more b ra king effort when driving down long g ra dients, so select the same gear as you would driving uphill a nd drive at roughly the sam e speed. With automatic transmission engage gear 3, 2 or even 1. Select D again as soon as driv ing conditions permit. Starting on inclines Vehicles with m anual tra nsmission: The most fav ourable eng ine speed when starting off on a n incline is between 2500 and 3000 rpm for petrol eng ines and between 2000 and 2200 rpm for diesel eng ines. Hold engine rpm constant, eng age clutch g ra dually (let slip), release brak e and op en throttle. If possible, the eng ine speed should not drop during this procedure. O n vehicles with autom atic transmission it is sufficient to open the throttle fully. Before starting off under ex treme conditions (high combination weight, mountainous terrain w ith steep inclines), switch off all unnecessary electrical loads (e.g. heated rear window, air conditioning system, heated front seats). 211 Self-help Diesel fuel system, ble eding Nev er let the tank run dry !

Further information on service and the inspection system ca n be found in the S ervice Booklet, which is in the glove compa rtm ent. In order to guarantee econom ical and safe vehicle operation and to m ainta in the value of y our v ehicle, it is of vital importanc e that all maintenance work is carried out at the proper intervals as specified b y Vauxhall. The next serv ice is indicated by the serv ice interval display depending on time or mileage interva ls, whic hever is reached first. The service interval display takes no account of off-the-road periods during whic h the battery is disconnected. The maintenance intervals specified in the Serv ic e Book let ha ve priority a nd should be ob served. Serv ic e interv al display – see page 38. 244 Hav e maintena nce work, as well as repairs to the b odywork and units, ca rried out by a professional. We recommend a Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer, who is conversant with Vaux hall vehicles and in possession of the special tools required and the latest S ervice I nstructions from Vauxhall. In ord er to av oid inv alidation of any warranty claim, it is especially important to entrust work to a Vaux hall Authorised Repairer during the warranty period. For further inform ation, see the Service Booklet. Sepa rate anti-c orrosion serv ice Hav e this service p erform ed b y a Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer once a year, either as part of a Service or sep arately - see S ervice Booklet. To avoid inva lid ation of a ny warranty claim aga inst rust-throug h, we recommend that you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer. Checking and topping up fluids To aid identification, the engine oil filler cap , the c oolant expansion ta nk cap, the lid of the fluid container for the wind screen wash system a nd headlight wa sh system and the handle of the oil dipstic k are coloured y ellow. Engine oil The engine oils mentioned on page 261 are particularly suitable for the engine. These hig h-quality oils are suitab le for summer and winter operation. A note on safety To avoid injury from c ables conducting ignition volta ge, only carry out engine compartment check s (e.g. checking the brake fluid lev el or engine oil level) when the ig nition is switched off. The cooling fan is controlled by a thermo-switch a nd can therefore start unexpectedly even if the ignition is switched off. Risk of injury. Nev er ca rry out any repairs or a djustment and maintenance work on the vehicle yourself. This especially applies to the engine, cha ssis a nd safety parts. Y ou m ay out of ignorance infringe the provisions of the law a nd , by not performing the w ork prop erly, you may endanger yourself and other road users. C om mercially av ailable oils with the proper grade and v iscosity c la ss m ay be used. Pay strict attention to the information on pag e 261. In the case of b ra nd oils the m anufacturers are responsible for ensuring that the oils they supp ly are suitable for Va ux ha ll vehicles. Elec tronic ignition sy stems use a v ery high v oltag e. Do not touch the ignition system ; danger to life. 245 Eng ine oi l level and consum ption All engines c onsume oil for technica l rea sons. The engine oil consump tion ca n only be assessed after d riv ing a long distance, and may be above the specified value during the initial stage (run-in period). Frequent driving a t hig h revs causes oil consumption to increa se. For this rea son the engine oil level should be check ed every 600 m iles (1, 000 km) or before sta rting a long trip. This a lso app lies to vehicles with check control 3, in which the oil level is monitored automatically – see page 48. If the message "Eng ine Oil Level" appears in the display, check the oil lev el using the dipstick and top up as necessary. Engine oil l ev el chec k, topping up engine oil The illustrations show chec king and top ping up the oil levels of eng ines Z 16 XE, Z 18 XE and Y 20 DTH. 1 ) To check the level, remove the oil gauge (dipstick), wipe it clean and reinsert it as far as it will g o. Top up if the oil level has dropped to just above the "a dd oil" m ark MI N. The oil lev el m ust be check ed with the vehicle on a level surface and with the engine (which m ust be at operating temperature) switched off. Wait at least fiv e m inutes before checking the level to allow the normal oil ac cum ulation in the engine to d rain back into the oil pan. The oil level must not go above the upper ma rk MAX on the dipstick. Ex cess oil must be dra ined or extracted by suction. If the oil level does go above the mark MAX there is a risk of damage to the engine or ca ta ly tic converter. Im porta nt : I t is the owner’s responsibility to maintain the proper level of an appropriate quality oil in the engine. . 1) 246 Sales d esigna tion – s ee p a ge 263. The amount filled must be between the MI N and MA X m arks – see page 273. Top up using oil brand that was used a t last oil cha ng e. Ob serve notes and oil tab le on page 261. Ca pacities – see p age 273. The oil consumption will not stabilize until the vehicle has been driven several thousand miles. Only then can the ac tual ra te of consum ption b e estab lished . O il chang e, oi l filter cha ng e Perform change in a ccordance with serv ic e interva l ind icator. We recommend that you use g enuine Vauxhall oil filters. Used oil filters and empty oil containers should not be disp osed of as domestic refuse. We recomm end that y ou entrust oil and oil filter changes to a Va ux ha ll Authorised Repa irer, who is familiar with legal requirem ents reg arding disposa l of used oil and can thus help to p rotect both the env ironment and your hea lth. 247 Diese l fue l filter Coolant Check fuel filter for a ny w ater residue when each engine oil cha ng e tak es place. We recom mend that y ou consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. During operation the system is pressurized. The temp erature ma y therefore rise briefly to ov er 100 °C. Hav e filter checked at shorter intervals in the c ase of ex treme opera ting conditions suc h a s high humidity (prima rily in coastal areas), extremely high or low outside tem peratures and substantially varying day tim e a nd nig ht-time tem peratures. The glycol-ba sed coolant provides exc ellent corrosion protection for the heating and cooling systems as well as anti-freeze protection down to – 28 °C . It remains in the cooling system throughout the year and need not b e changed. Certain a ntifreezes ca n lead to engine damage. Make sure that y ou are inform ed! We therefore recom mend the use of antifreezes that hav e b een approved by Vauxhall. Anti-freeze is a da nger to health; it must therefore be kept in the original container and out of the reach of children. Anti -freeze a nd corrosion prot ect ion Before the sta rt of the cold weather season, have the coolant checked for correct concentration using a calibrated hydrometer. We recom mend that you consult a Vaux ha ll Authorised Repairer. The anti-freeze content must guarantee frost protection down to approxima tely – 28 °C. An insufficient concentration will reduc e frost and corrosion protection. Add anti-freeze if necessary. If c oolant loss is topped up with wa ter, have concentration checked and a dd antifreeze if necessary. 248 If no antifreeze is available, fill with clean drink ing water or d istilled water. After topping up w ith tap or distilled water, ha ve the anti-freez e concentration checked, a nd anti-freeze added if necessary. H ave the cause of the coolant loss remedied. We recommend that you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. When closing, tighten coola nt filler cap as fa r as it will go. Coola nt level Hardly any losses occur since the cooling system is sealed and it is thus rarely necessary to top up the c oolant. The c oolant level in the expansion tank should b e slightly above the KALT / CO LD mark when the sy stem is cold. It rises a t engine operating temperature and drops again when the engine cools down. If the lev el falls below the m ark, the coola nt should b e filled with antifreeze to a little over the ma rk . C ool ant temp era ture For physical reasons, the engine temperature gauge shows the coolant temperature only if the coolant level is adequate. During operation the sy stem is pressurized. The tem perature may therefore rise to ov er 100 ° C. If the temp erature g auge enters the red zone, check the coolant level immediately. z Coolant level too low: Top up coolant, chec k coolant level. Have the cause of coola nt loss remedied. We recom mend that you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. z Coolant level O K: Have the cause of the inc reased coolant temperature remed ied. We rec om mend tha t you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. Allow engine to cool d ow n before removing coola nt filler ca p. Remove filler cap carefully so that p ressure can escape slowly, otherwise there is a risk of scalding. 249 Use of som e b ra ke fluids could cause damage or impa ir braking effectiveness. Stay well informed. We recommend that you only use Vauxhall-approved high performance brake fluid. Extreme cleanliness is im porta nt, since brake fluid contam ination can lead to brake sy stem malfunctions. After correcting the brake fluid level, have the cause of brake fluid loss remedied . We recommend that you consult a Va ux ha ll Authorised Repairer. Brake fluid Brak e fluid level Caution – brake fluid is poisonous and corrosive. Do not allow it to contact eyes, skin, fab ric s or p ainted surfaces. Direct contact ma y cause injuries and damage. The fluid level in the container must be neither higher than the MAX ma rk nor lower than the MIN mark. Brake fluid change Brake fluid is hygroscopic, i. e. it absorbs water. If high temp eratures occur when braking, e.g. on long d ow nhill stretches, steam bubbles c an oc cur in the water that are extrem ely detrimental to braking power. The fluid change intervals specified in the Serv ic e Booklet must therefore be ob served. We recommend that you have brak e fluid changed by a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who will be familiar with the req uirements of the law as regards disposal of brake fluid a nd can thus help to protec t the env ironment and your hea lth. After correcting the brake fluid level, have the cause of brake fluid loss remedied . We recommend that you consult a Va ux ha ll Authorised Repairer. 250 Windscreen wiper C lear v ision is essential for safe driving. Y ou should therefore perform regular checks on the windscreen wiper a nd hea dlight wiper system 3 to m ake sure they are operating correc tly . If the windsc reen is dirty, operate the screenwash b efore switching on the windscreen wiper or setting the wiper to automatic op eration with the rain sensor 3. This will avoid wip er blad e wear. Do not switch on the windscreen wiper or set to a utoma tic operation with the rain sensor 3 if the windscreen is iced up , a s this could da mage the wiper blades or the wiper system. If the wiper bec om es frozen on to the glass, we recomm end that it be released with the aid of Vauxhall De-icer S pray. Sm earing w ip er b la des ca n be clea ned w ith a soft cloth and Vaux hall Windscreen Wash Solvent. Wiper b la des whose lips have become hardened, cracked or c ov ered with silicone must be replaced. This may be necessary as a result of the effects of ice, tha wing salt or heat, or the incorrect use of cleaning agents. Switch off windscreen wiper or autom atic wiper sy stem with rain sensor 3 in car washes – see pa ges 17, 257. In order to ensure that the windscreen wiper operates correctly, in vehicles with rain sensor 3 the w indscreen wash system must be operated at regular intervals.

When caring for your vehicle, observe all na tional environm ental reg ulations, particula rly when wa shing it. Regular, thorough care helps to improve the appearance of your vehicle and maintain its v alue over the y ears. It is a lso a prerequisite for warranty claims for any paint or corrosion damag e. The following pages contain tips for vehicle care which, if used properly , will help combat the unav oida ble d amaging effects of the environment. 256 V ehicle care aids 3 Vehicle wash: z Wa sh brush z Shampoo z Sponge z Insect Removal S ponge z Chamois Vehicle care: z Paintwork Clea ner z Paintwork Polish z Crea m Polish z Metallic Paintwork Wax z Hard wa x z Vauxhall Touch-Up Paint z Vauxhall Touch-Up / Aerosol Paint z Wheel Preserver z Tar Rem ov er z Insect Remover z Window Cleaner z Vauxhall Windscreen Wa sh S olv ent z Silicone O il for Rubber Sea ls z Cleaner Washing The paintwork of your v ehicle is exposed to env ironmenta l influences, e. g. continuous changes in weather conditions, ind ustrial waste gases and dust or tha wing sa lts, so wash and wax your v ehicle regularly. When using a utoma tic car washes, select a programme which includes wax ing. Bird droppings, dead insects, resin, pollen a nd the like should be cleaned off immediately , as they contain aggressive constituents which can cause paint dam age. When using c ar washes, follow the relevant instructions of the car wash facility. The windscreen wiper or a utomatic wiper system w ith rain sensor 3 and the rea r window wiper 3 m ust be switched off – see page 17. Remove the aerial 3 and the roof rack 3 . Clea n edges and folds on op ened doors and flaps as well a s the area s they cover. Thoroughly rinse off and leather-off the vehicle. Rinse leather frequently . Use separate leathers for paint and w indow surfaces: Remnants of wax on the windows will impair vision. Waxing Wax your vehicle regularly, in pa rticular after it has been washed using shampoo and at the latest when wa ter no longer forms beads on the pa intwork, otherwise the paintwork will d ry out. Also wax edg es a nd folds on op ened doors and flaps as well a s the area s they cover. P olishing Polishing is necessary only if the pa int has become dull or if solid deposits hav e become attached to it. Paintwork polish with silicone forms a protec tiv e film, making w axing unnecessary. Plastic body parts should not be treated with wax and polish. Use Metallic Paintwork Wax on vehicles with a metallic-effect paint finish. Whe els Use a pH-neutral w heel c leaning agent to clean the wheels. Wheels a re painted and ca n be treated with the same ag ents as the body. For alloy wheels we recomm end use of Alloy Wheel Preserv er. If y ou w ash y our v ehicle by hand, make sure that the insides of the wing s a re also thoroughly rinsed out. 257 Paintwork damage Plastic and rubber parts Seat belts Repair small area s of p aint damage suc h as stone impacts, scratches etc. immediately using a Va ux ha ll touch-up applicator or Vauxhall sp ra y and touch-up paint before rust can form . If rust has alrea dy formed, ha ve the c ause remedied. We recommend that you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. Please also pay attention to surfaces and edg es beneath the v ehicle where rust ma y have formed unnoticed for some time. For add itional cleaning of plastic and rubb er parts use C leaner. Do not use any other agent, and in particular do not use solvents or petrol. Alway s k eep seat b elts clean a nd dry. Wheels and tyres When cleaning the hea ted rear window, ma ke sure that the heating element on the insid e of the window is not damaged. Exterior lights Headlight and other protective light covers are made of plastic. If they require additional cleaning after the vehicle has been washed, clea n them with C ar Shamp oo. Do not use any ab ra sive or caustic agents, do not use an ice scraper, and do not clean them dry. 258 Do not use high-pressure jet clea ners on wheels and tyres. Inte rior and upholstery Clea n the vehicle interior, including the instrument panel facia, using interior cleaner. Clea n fa bric upholstery with a va cuum cleaner and brush. For removal of stains use Cleaner, which is suitab le for both fa brics a nd vinyl. Do not use cleaning agents such as acetone, carbon tetrachloride, paint thinner, paint remov er, nail v arnish remover, washing powder or blea ch to clean fabrics, ca rp ets, the dashboard or leather trim 3 in the vehicle interior. Benzine is also unsuitable. C lean only with lukewarm w ater or Cleaner. Windows Use a soft lint-free cloth or chamois leather in conjunction with Window Cleaner a nd Insect R emover. Vauxhall Wind screen Wash Solvent is suita ble for de-icing windows. For mec ha nical removal of ice, use a comm ercially available sharp-edged ice scraper. Press the scraper firmly against the glass so that no dirt can get under it and scratch the glass. Winds creen wipe r blade s Sm earing w ip er b la des ca n be clea ned w ith a soft cloth and Vaux hall Windscreen Wash Solvent, and replaced if necessa ry – see page 250. Locks Before they lea ve the factory, the lock s are lubricated with a high-grade lock cylinder grease. Vauxhall lock c ylind er grease prevents the locks from freezing up. Use de-icing agents only in emergencies, as they have a degreasing effect and will impair the functioning of the locks. After using d e-icing agents re-grea se the locks. Engine compartment Imp ortant areas of the eng ine compartment have been provided with permanent protection at the factory in the form of a high-quality, smooth protec tiv e lacquer coating . Parts of the engine compartment lacquered in the sam e colour as the vehicle paintwork ca n be trea ted the same way as all painted surfaces. Wash the engine only if a bsolutely necessary. Before washing the engine, protec t the alternator and brake fluid reservoir with plastic covers. When washing the engine with a steam-jet cleaner, do not d irect the steam jet at components of the a ntilock brake sy stem, the a utoma tic air conditioning system or the b elt drive and its components. Protective wax that has been ap plied is also removed during the engine wash. For this reason, have the engine, brak e system components in the engine compartment, axle com ponents with steering, body parts and cavities thoroughly preserved with protective wax after the wash. We recommend that you consult a Va ux ha ll Authorised Repairer. Do not use high-pressure jet clea ners on wheels and tyres. 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. 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 carried out by a Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer. The Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer knows the prescribed 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. 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. 259 Technical data Vehicle docum ents, identification plate The identification plate is affixed to the front right door fram e.

When using commercially available engine oils, as a matter of principle only those oils that meet the minimum q uality requirements specified in the following table are perm issible. Eng ines Petrol Oils ACEA A3 ACEA A3/B3 ACEA A3/B3/B4 Diesel ACEA B3 ACEA A3/B3 ACEA A3/B3/B4 Engine oils We recomm end using Vauxhall eng ine oils with the follow ing qualities and viscosities: AC EA A3/B3 S AE 0W-30 – or – AC EA A3/B3 S AE 5W-40 – or – AC EA A3/B3 S AE 10W-40 O nly the following viscosity classes are permissible: S AE 10 W-30 (or hig her than 30) or S AE 5 W-30 (or higher than 30) or S AE 0 W-30 (or higher than 30). The range of application of the oil is dependent on the outside temperature – see the diagram on the nex t page. The ra ng e of app lic ation of the oil is dependent on the outside temperature – see the d iagram on the next p age. Eng ine oils whic h are specifica lly designated for use in d iesel engines a re not suita ble for petrol engines. If the oils mentioned here are not availab le in your country, follow the special instructions in your Serv ic e Booklet. 261 Inform ation on AC EA oil grade cla ssific ation The Association d es Constructeurs Européens d'Autom ob iles classifies engine oils according to their perform anc e (quality). Ea ch categ ory is given letters and numbers, e.g. A3: The letter indicates the field of application: A = Petrol eng ines in passenger cars B = Diesel engines in passenger cars E = Diesel engines in trucks The number shows the quality in numerically ascending order. Informat ion on SAE classificat ions Engine a nd transmission oils are grouped in SAE classes b y the S oc iety of Automotive Engineers b ased on their v iscosity. Viscosity is the measure of interna l friction of the oil in flux , dependent on its temperature. The SAE classification does not provide information on the quality of the oil; it merely indicates the range of application of the oil dependent on the outside temperature – see diagram. The first number indicates v iscosity at low temperatures (cold sta rt behaviour). The second num ber indicates visc osity a t hig h temperatures. 262 Do not sw itch to a different viscosity in the event of brief temp erature fluctuations.

The direc tiv e is oriented to actual driving practices: Urban driving is rated at approx. 1 /3 and extra-urban driving with approx. 2 /3 (urban and extra-urban consumption). C old starts and acceleration phases are also tak en into consideration. 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. The calculation of fuel consumption as spec ified by directive 1999/100/EC takes acc ount of the v ehicle's kerbweig ht, 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 conv ert l/100km into mp g, divide 282 by number of litres/100km.

O ptional equipment and accessories increase the kerbweight, w hich means that the p ayload will also change slig htly. The combined total of front a nd rear ax le loa ds must not exceed the perm issible gross vehicle weight. For exa mple, 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 weig ht m inus the front axle load. Roof loa d The permissible roof loa d is 75 kg. The roof load consists of the weight of the roof rac k plus the load carried. When the carav an / trailer is coup led a nd the towing vehic le fully loaded (including all occupants), the perm issible rear ax le loa d (see identification plate or v ehicle docum ents) may be exceeded by 75 kg and the gross vehicle weig ht ra ting by 45 kg. If the permissib le rear axle load 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 caravan / trailer, this must b e observ ed. For safety reasons and to avoid damage to the roof, we recommend that the use of Vauxhall-approved roof rack systems for the Zafira. A Vauxhall Authorised Repairer would be pleased to ad vise you.
