Fault

If the central locking system cannot be operated with the remote control, this may be due to the following reasons:

■ The remote control is out of range.
■ The battery voltage of the remote control is too low. Change the battery in the rem ote control unit.
The remote control has been repeatedly operated outside the vehicle's reception range (e.g. at too great a distance from the vehicle). The remote control must reprogrammed. We recommend you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

■ The system has been overloaded as a result of repeated operation at short intervals. The power supply is cut-off for a brief period.

■ Interference from higher power radio waves from other sources.

Seat belts

Three-stage restraint system

The sy ste m co mpris es:

■ Three-point seat b elts.
■ Belt tensioners, with load limiters, on the front seats.
■ Airbag systems for driver, front passenger and rear outboard seat occupants.

The three stages are activated in sequence e depending on the seriousness of the acc id ent:

■ The automatic seat belt locking devices prevent the belt strap from being pulled out and thus ensure that the vehicle occupants are retained in their seats.
The front seat belt buckles are pulled downwards. As a result, the seat be its are instantaneously tightened and the occupants are made aware of the deceleration of the vehicle at a very early stage. This reduces stress placed on the body.

■ The airbag system is additionally triggered in the event of a serious accident involving a frontal impact, and forms a safety cushion for the driver and front passenger. In the event of a side-impact, the side airbag system * protects the occupants in the front of the vehicle, and the curta in airbag system protects both front and rear outboard seat occupants.

⚠ Warning

The airbag system serves to supplement the three-point seat belts and belt tensioners. The se at be Its must the refore always be worn.

Disreg ard of these notes can lead to injuries which may be fatal. Vehicle pass enge rs must be informed according ly.

Be sure to read the descriptions of a ll the restraint systems on the following pages.

Three-point seat belts

The front and rear seats are equipped with three-point seat belts with automatic retractors and locking devices, allowing freedom of body movement when the vehicle moves at a constant speed, although the spring-tensioned belts are always a snug fit.

The belt has a "vehicle sensitive retractor" which is designed to lock during heavy acceleration or deceleration in any direction.

⚠ Warning

Always wear your seat belt, and that means also in urban traffic and when you are a rear seat passenger. It can save your life!

Pregnant women too must always wear a seat belt, keeping the lap belt low and snug on the hips and pelvis (not the waist or abdomen, where a ctuating belt tensioners could cause serious injury in the event of a collision).

In the event of an accident, persons not wearing seat belts endanger their fellow occupants and them selves.

Control indicator 4 for driver's seat belt re minder - see e page 6 8.

Control indicator 42 for front passenger's seat belt reminder - see page 42.

Seat belts are designed to be used by only one person at a time. They are only suitable for children aged up to 12 or smaller than 150 cm if used in conjunction with a child restraint *.

For children up to 12 years of a ge, we recommend the Vauxhall child restraint system ✦ - see page 43.

Belt force limiters

Load limiters on the front sea to reduce the impact on the seat occupant's body from a tensioning belt, in the event of a severe frontal collision. The belt force is controlled, to reduce the risk of belt-inflicted injury.

Inspection of belts

Periodically inspect all parts of the belt system for damage and to make sure they are functioning properly.

Have da maged parts replaced. After an accident, belts and triggered belt tensioners must be replaced by new ones.

Do not perform any alterations on the belts, their anchorages, the automatic retractors or the belt buckles.

Make sure that belts are not dam aged or trapped by sharp-edged objects.

Close-up of a car seatbelt buckle with a yellow accent (no text or symbols visible)

Belt tensioners

The seat belt systems on the front seats incorporate belt tensioners housed in the belt buckles and seat belt retra ctors.

In the event of frontal collisions or side-impacts of a certain severity, belt buckles and seat belt retractors tighten the seat belts; the shoulder and lap belts are instantaneously tightened to fit the occupant's body more snugly.

The belt buckles and seat belt retractors will remain locked after actuation (where some noise will occur and smoke may be released).

Belt tensioners are not designed to activate in the event of rear-impacts, minor side-impacts, rollovers or minor frontal collisions.

Actuation of belt tensioners

The belt tensioners actuate only once and must be replaced by a work shop after activation.

⚠ Warning

The belt tensioners a re operational only when control indicator is unlit.

If the control indicator does not flash briefly w hen the ignition is on, stays lit, illuminates or flashes whilst driving, the belt tensioners or the airbag systems may not function correctly.

Have both systems inspected by a workshop.

The seat belts remain fully opera tional even when the belt tensioners have been actuated.

Close-up of a circular gauge or speedometer dial with a yellow directional arrow and 'S 13500' label (no readable text beyond controls)

Belt tensioners control indicator The seat belt tensioners are monitored electronic ally together with the airbags, and their operational readiness show n by the red control indicator in the in stru me nt dus ter.

When the ignition is switched on, the control indicator flashes several times then exting uishes. If it does not flash, stays lit, illuminates or flashes whilst driving, there is a fault with the belt tensioners or in the airbag systems. The systems might not therefore be triggered in the event of an accident (see also page 52).

⚠ Warning

Have the cause of the fault remedied a workshop.

The system's integrated self-diagnostics allows faults to be quickly remedied.

Important

■ Accessories not released for your vehicle type and other objects must not be fixed or placed within the action zone of the belt tensioners, as they may result in injury if the belt tensioners are triggered.
■ Do not make any modifications to the components of the belt tensioners, as this may result in unintended actuation of the belt tensioners, rendering the vehicle unroadworthy and causing serious personal injury.

⚠ Warning

Improper handling (e.g. removal or installation) can activate the belt tensioners – risk of injury.

■ The belt tensioner and airbag system control electronics can be found in the centre console area. In order to avoid malfunctions, do not store magnetic objects in this a rea.
■ When using the rear sea ts, ensure that the front seat belt components are not damaged by shoes or other objects. Avoid dirt getting in the retractors.
■ The belt tensioners only actuate once, indicated by continuous illumination of control indicator in the instrument cluster. Deployed belt tensioners must be replaced by a workshop.
■ When dispensing of the vehicle, observe the applicable safety regulations. Take the vehicle to a recycling company for disposal.

Using the belts

Fitting the belt

Pull the belt out evenly from the retractor and guide it over the shoulder, making certa in that it is not twisted.

Insert the latch plate into the buckle. The seat backrest must not be tilted back too far (the recommended maximum tilting angle is approx. 25°).

The lap belt must not be twisted and must fit snugly across the body. Tension the belt frequently whilst d riving by tugging the diagonal part of the belt.

Illustration of a person's seatbelt being adjusted for a yellow arrow (no text or symbols)

⚠ Warning

On pregnant women in particular, the lap b elt must be positioned as low as possible across the pelv is in order to prevent pressure on the abdomen.

Keep knees pointing straight forward so that driver's side knee bolsters can help prevent submarining under the seat belt in the event of a collision.

Bulky clothing prevents the belt from fitting properly. The belt must not rest against hard or fragile objects in the pockets of your clothing (e.g. ballpoint pens, ke ys, spectacles) because these could cause injury in the event of a collision. Do not place any objects (e.g. handbags) between the belt and your body.

Removing the belt To remove the belt, press the red release button on the belt buck le; the belt will retract automatically.

Guide the belt as it retracts, to prevent personal injury and damage to interior surfaces.

Always ensure you position the release button so that you can unbuckle the seat belt quickly if necessary.

Child restraint systems \*

Vauxhall child restraint systems are designed specifically for your vehicle and thus provide optimum safety for your child in the event of an impact. The use of a Vauxhall child restraint system is therefore recommended.

If a different child's safety seat is used, follow the manufacturer's instructions for fitting and use.

⚠ Warning

Disregard of these instruc tions may lead to injuries or endanger life.

Selecting the right system

Your child should be transported facing rearwards in the vehicle as long as possible. The child's neck area is still very weak and in an accident they suffer less stress in the semi-prone rearward position than when sitting upright.

Note

■ Children under 12 years or under 150 cm ta ll should only travel in an app ropriate child safety seat.
■ Never carry a child whilst travelling in the vehicle. The child will become too heavy to hold in the event of a collision.
■ When transporting child ren, use a child restraint system that t is suitable for the child's weight, age and height.
■ Ensure that the child restraint system to be installed is compatible with the vehicle type.
■ You should always observe the instructions on installation and use supplied with the child restraint system.

■ Do not stick anything on the child restrain t sy ste ms a nd do not co ve r the m with any other materia ls.
■ Only allow children to enter and exit the vehicle at the side facing away from the traffic.
■ A child restraint system which has been subjected to stress in an accident must be replaced.
■ When the child restraint system is not in use, secure the seat with a seat belt or remove it from the vehicle.
■ The covers of the Vauxhall c hild restraint system can be wiped clean.

The following Vauxhall child restraint systems have been approved for insta Ila tion in your Antara:

Airbag systems

Front airbags

The front airbag system is identified by the word "Airbag" on the steering wheel and above the glove compartment.

The front airbag system comprises:

■ an airbag with an inflator in the steering wheel, and a second one behind a trim panel a bove the glove compartment,
■ the control electronics,
■ the front impact sensor,
■ the airbag system control indicator in the instrument cluster.

30° 30° 17112 T

The front airbag system is triggered:

■ depending on the severity of the accident,
■ depending on the type of impact,
■ within the range shown in the illustration,
■ independently of the side airbag * and curtain airbag sy stems.

Examples:

■ Impact against a non-yielding obstacle; the front a irb ags are triggered at low vehicle speed s,
■ Impact against a yielding obstacle (such as another vehicle); the front airbags are only triggered at a higher vehicle speed.

When triggered, the driver's and front passenger's airbags inflate in milliseconds and form sa fatty cushions for the driver and front passenger. Forward movement of driver and front passenger is checked and the risk of injuries to the upper body and head thereby substantially reduced.

■ No im pairment of view will occur, as airbags inflate and deflate so quickly.

⚠ Warning

The front airbag system provides optimum protection when the seat, seat belt, backrest and head restraint are correctly adjusted.

Adjust the driver's seat according to occupant's height such that, with the driver sitting upright, the steering wheel is held in the area of its up per spokes with the driver's arms slightly bent.

The driver's seat should be as far back as possible without compromising the driver's ability to reach the pedals, stee ring wheel or controls.

The front passenger's seat should be as far back as possible, with the backrest upright. Do not place the head, body, hands or feet on the cover of the airbag system.

Do not place objects, children or pets in the area in which the airbags inflate.

The front airbag system will not be triggered in the event of:

■ the ignition being switched off,
■ minor frontal collisions,
■ accidents in which the vehicle overturns,
■ collisions involving a side or rear-impact where it would not be of benefit to the occupants.

⚠ Warning

Se at belts must the refore always be worn. The front airbag system serves to supplement the three-p oint seat belts.

If you do not wear your seat be lt, y ou risk being seriously injured, or even thrown from the vehicle, in the event of an accident.

The belts help to maintain occupants in the correct seating position for the front airbag system to provide effective protection in the event of an accident

Sid e a irbags ✱

The side airbags are identified by the word "Airbag" on the outboard sides of the front seat backrests, and protect front seat t occupants in the event of a severe side-impact t.

The side airbag system comprises:

■ an airbag with inflator in the outboard sides of the driver's and front passenger's seat backrests,
■ the control electronics,
■ the side-impact sensors,
■ the airbag systems control indicator ⚡ in the instrument cluster.

60° 60° 60° 60° 60°

The side airbag system will be triggered:

■ depending on the severity of the accident,
■ depending on the type of impact,
■ within the range shown in the illustration,
■ indep endently of the front airbag system.

When triggered, the side airbag infla tes in milliseconds and forms a safety cushion for the driver a nd/or front passenger in the respective door area. The risk of injury to the upper bod y and pelvis in the event of a side-imp act is thereb y sub stantially reduced.

Warning

There must be no objects in the area in which the airbag inflates or in the area between the seat backrests and the vehicle body.

Do not place hands, arms or other body parts on the covers of the airbag systems. Important information - see page 53.

The three-point seat belt must always be correctly fitted - see page 39.

The side airbags will not be triggered in the event of:

■ the ignition being switched off,
■ frontal collisions,
■ accidents in which the vehicle overturns, if lateral impact is insufficient for side airbag deployment,
■ collisions involving a rear-impact,
■ collisions involving a side-impact outside the passenger cell.

Curtain airbag s

The curtain airbag system is identified by the word "Airbag" on the roof frame, and protects front seat and rear outboard seat oc cup ants in the event of a severe side - impact.

The curtain airbag system comprises:

■ an airbag with inflator in the roof frame above the doors on the driver's and passenger's side respectively,
■ the control e lectronics,
■ the side-impact sensors,
■ the airbag systems control indicator in the instrument cluster.

60° 60° 60° 60°

17114 T

The curtain airbag system will be triggered:

■ depending on the severity of the accident,
■ depending on the type of impact,
■ within the range shown in the illustration,
■ tog ether with the side airbag system,
■ ind ependently of the front airbag sy ste m.

Seats, interior52

When triggered, the curtain airbag inflates in milliseconds and provides a safety barrier in the head area on the respect side of the vehicle. This reduces the risk injury to the head considerably in the event of a side-im pact.

⚠ Warning

The re must be no objects in the area in which the airbag inflates. Do not place hands, arms or other body parts on the covers of the airbag systems.

Never secure anything to the roof by routing ropes through the doors or windows, to avoid obstructing inflation of the curtain airbags.

Important information – see page 53.

The three-point seat belt must always be correctly fitted – see page 39.

The curta in airbags will not be triggered in the event of:

■ the ignition being sw itched off,

■frontal collisions,

■ accidents in which the vehicle overturns, if lateral impact is insufficient for curtain airbag deployment,

■ collisions involving a rear-impact,

■ collisions involving a side-impact outside the passenger cell.

Airb ag control indicator

The front airbag system, side airbag system ✦ and curtain airbag system are monitored electronically together with the belt tensioners, and their operational readiness is shown by the red control indicator ⚡ in the instrument cluster.

When the ignition is switched on, the control indicator flashes several times then extinguishes. If it does not flash, stays lit, illuminates or flashes whilst driving, there is a fault in the airbag systems or with the belt tensioners. The systems might not therefore be triggered in the event of an acc id ent (see also page 41).

⚠ Warning

Have the cause of the fault remedied a workshop.

The system's integral self-diagnosis facility allows faults to be quickly remedied.

⚠ Warning

Disreg ard of these e instructions may lead to injuries or e nd ang er life.

Imp or tant

■ Accessories not released for your vehicle type and other objects must not be affixed or placed in the area in which the airbags inflate, as they could cause injury when the airbags are triggered.
■ Do not place any objects between the airbag systems and the vehicle occupants; danger of injury.
■ Only use the hooks on the assist grips in the roof frame to hang up light articles of clothing or coat hangers. Do not place any objects in the pockets of the hanging item s; risk of injury.
■ Do not stic k or place anything on the steer ring wheel, instrument panel, front seat backrests in the vicinity of the airbags and seat areas or cover them with other materials.
■ The airbag systems and belt tensioner control electronics can be found in the centre console area. In order to avoid malfunctions, do not store magnetic objects in this area.

■ Use only a dry cloth or interior cleaner to clean the steering wheel, instrument panel, front seat backrests, roof frame and seat a rea of the front seats. Do not use any agressive cleaning agents.
■ Only protective covers which are approved for your vehicle with side airbags *m ay be fitted on the front seats. When fitting the protective covers, make sure that the a irbag units on the outboard sides of the front seat backrests are not covered.
■ The airbag systems are triggered ind ependently of each other, depending on the severity of the accident and the type of impact. The side airbag system * and the curtain airbag system are triggered together.
■ During off-road driving especially, airbags can also inflate in moderate to severe non-collision situations such as when slamming the undercarriage or other solid components of the vehic le in a dip in the driving surface.
■ Each airbag can be triggered only once. Once triggered, an airbag must be replaced immediately by a workshop.

Seats, interior54

■ After airbags deflate, you may notice a burning smell, smoke and white powder in the interior, which is normal. Although they may cause skin or eye irritation, these substances are non-toxic.
■ Hazard warning lights may flash and locked doors may be unlock ed automatic ally when airb ags deploy *.
■ The speeds, directions of movement and deformation properties of the vehicles and the properties of the obstacle concerned, determine the severity of the accident and triggering of the airbags.
■ The degree of damage to your vehicle and the resulting repair costs alone are not indicative that the criteria for triggering of the airbags were met.
■ Do not perform any modifications to the components of the airbag system s, as this will render the vehicle unroadworthy.

⚠ Warning

The systems can be triggered ab ruptly and cause injury if they are handled improperly.

■ We recommend having the steering wheel, the instrument panel, all panelling parts, the door seals, handles and the front seats removed by a workshop in the event of airbag deployment.
■ When disposing of the vehicle, observe the applicable safety regulations. Take the vehicle to a recycling company for disposal.

All Wheel Drive

All Wheel Drive(AWD) is an active-on-demand system that engages automatically, with no action required by the d river. Depend ing on the driving environment, the vehicle switches between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, to give the vehicle more traction and stability when necessary.

If the front wheels begin to slip, the rear wheels will automatically begin to drive the vehicle as required.

More torque is transferred to the wheels that have the most traction, so the vehicle has optimum grip at all times.

There may be a slight engagement noise during hard use.

As well as enabling the vehicle to be driv off-road, this system also enables the vehicle to be driven on normal roads without incurring excessive tyre and drivetrain wear or causing poor control.

S 13633

All Wheel Drive control indicator

When the ignition is switched on, control indicator illuminates for approx. 4 seconds. The system is ready for operation when the control indicator extinguishes.

If the control indicator flashes d uring driving, All Wheel Drive is temporarily disab led.

If it fla shes brie fly then ex ting uishes, this is normal and does not indicate a fault.

If the control indicator flashes continuously, there is a fault in the system. Consult a workshop as soon as possible.

On-road driving

The increased traction of All Wheel Drive vehicles offers greater driving control in adverse road conditions, particularly heavy snow and ice. However, All Wheel Drive vehicles are not "skid-proof" and do not decrease stopping distances.

All Wheel Drive vehicles have a high her centre of gravity than conventional vehicles. Always a approach curves at an appropriate driving speed. Do not attempt to go as fast through h turns as you might in a conventional vehicle.

Strong crosswinds can affect the normal stee ring of the vehicle. Drive slower under strong crosswind conditions.

Always exercise caution when in slippery conditions (caused by sand, gravel, water, snow or ice on the road), in order to maintain vehicle control.

Use the accelerator to control the vehicle - keep brake peda l use to a m minimum.

■ Do not slip the clutch h.
■ Do not spin the wheels.
■ Do not make exaggerated or jerk y steering movements.

Driving a vehicle in snow and ice should be undertaken with extreme caution:

■ Select a gear suitable for the conditions.
■ Start the vehicle moving with minimal engine revs, low gear and com bined clutch and accelerator control.
■ Change to a higher gear as quickly as possible, to keep the engine revs low.
■ With automatic transmission *, select drive range D and press button ⚙, to activate the Winter programme.

Off-road driving

During off-road driving, you will encounter a variety of driving conditions and circumstances too numerous to list here.

Always use good judgement and commo sense. If you feel uncomfortable about tackling a given situation, do not attempt it.

Avoid protruding objects (such as rocks or tree stumps) that may damage the underbody and tyres of your vehicle.

Test the brak es after operating in mud, to clear excess mud from the braking surfaces.

Gripping the steering wheel

Terrain conditions can cause rapid and une xpe cted movement in the stee ring, especially rough terrain.

⚠ Warning

Be ready to deal with these movements by having a firm grip on the outer rim of the steering wheel with the thumbs outside the spokes, to guard against injury from kickb ack.

Preparation

The duration, distance and conditions of the off-road activity determine the extent of the preparation that is required. The following are given a s g guidelines.

Know the area where you will be driving, either by inspection or from terrain maps. Decide your route in advance and ensure that it is a vehicular right of way ^1) .

Make a thorough check of the vehicle.

Check the following:

■ Oil, water, fuel, brake and clutch fluid levels,
■ Drive belts,
■ Windscreen wiper and wash system,
■ Ligh ts.

Maintenance - see pages 122, 202.

Ensure that tyres (including the sp are) are infla ted to the correct pressure and are suitab le for the p revailing off-road conditions.

Tyre pressures - see page 217.

Check the jack and wheel changing tools, and include a board or plate for supporting the jack on soft ground.

Carry emerge ncy eq uipm ent, i.e. tow rop e, spad e, first aid k it etc., which may be desirable if you intend entering unfamiliar off-road terrain.

A tow rope should be carried, to allow the recovery vehicle to be placed clear of any adverse ground.

You r Vaux hall Auth or rise d Re pairer will assist you in assessing any special requirements.

Top-down view of a car trunk with yellow directional arrows indicating movement or force points (no text or symbols)

Secure all loose items and luggage that may cause injury if thrown around the passenger compartment in bumpy conditions. Avoid carrying heavy loads on the roof. Make sure all doors, the tailgate and the bonnet are firmly closed.

Securing items using lashing eyes - see page 57.

The g round clearance, ramp a ngle, angle of approach and depa rture and wading depth need to be considered, especially in hilly conditions and when wading, to prevent the vehicle becoming stuck and possibly damaged.

Technical data - see page 208.

Dr iving through wat er

Do not exceed the maximum wading depth.

Check the depth of water: choose the low est entry and dep arture angles before entering.

Mainta in a steady engine speed, to help prevent water from entering the exhaust system, but do not exceed 3 mph (5 k m/h), to avoid splashing the water.

Drive with the flow where ver possible, not against it. If you have to drive against the flow, try to drive at an angle to it, so that the leading corner of the vehicle will help deflect water from the engine compartment.

Avoid splashing the water - if the ignition sy ste m be comes we t, the e engine may s tall.

Avoid water entering the air into ke system.

⚠ Warning

If water enters the air intake system, engine seizure with severe costly damage may result.

Test the brakes after lea ving the water - wet brakes are less effective than dry ones.

Perform the Service operations for wading, involving checks for water contamination, at the earliest op portunity.

Service checks after wading - see page 122.

Self-help

Recovery and towing

When recovering or towing a vehicle off-road, observe the following:

■ A greater force is required to move a vehicle from or through mud than when on a hard surfaced road.
■ Attach a tow rope to the towing eye of the vehicle, not to the axle - see pages 160, 170.
■ Where possible, drive both vehicles forward to affect a recovery, using an appropriate gear to avoid wheelspin.
■ Avoid the use of reverse gear because use of possible resultant wheelspin.
■ Stay clear of the tow rope.

⚠ Warning

Breaking ropes can cause serious injury

Wheel changing

Place a board or plate beneath the jack, to prevent it from sinking into soft ground.

Further information - see page 174.

Cleaning

Clean the vehicle thoroughly and as soon as possible after driving off-road.

Do not let mud remain dry on any part of the vehicle as it becomes abrasive and can damage paint, glass, seals, bearings and brake components.

If left to build up, mud can seriously affect the airflow through and over mechanical components and cause localised overheating and failure of parts, especially in the engine compartment.

Ensure the radia tor core and the area between the radiator and intercooler / oil cooler (where installed) is cleaned, to maintain proper cooling airflow.

Check the radia tor and cooler cores for blockage (sand, silt etc.).

Check the tyre treads.

Clean and check the mechanical parts of the vehicle, particularly the following areas:

• Driv eshafts, including sea ling bellows,
• Front brake calipers, pads and discs,
  ■ Front suspension,
  ■ Clutch fork sealing bellows,
  ■ Rear brake calipers, pa ds and discs, ■ Rear suspension,
  ■ Fuel tank and underguard,
  ■ Breathers, axles and fuel tank,
  ■ Load sensing valve,
  ■ Transfer box and underguard,
  ■ Engine oil pan and underguard.

Observe the following:

■ Do not spray high-pressure water directly at the vehicle seals.
■ The wheels must be removed to clean all mud and stones from the brake ca lip ers and to check brake pad wear.
■ The areas on the upper side of the underguards must be cleared of stones, to prevent damage to the engine oil pan and the fuel tank.

Maintenance

Certain maintenance operations, e.g. changes of engine oil, oil filter, air cleaner element and brake pads, are required more frequently for severe operating conditions, e.g. driving on unsurfaced roads, during thick dust or mud accumulation, etc.

If the vehicle is driven off-road to a great extent, the chassis will need regular inspection.

Your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer will inform you which additional Service is required between the normal Service intervals, after consideration of the specific operating conditions of your vehicle.

Further information - see page 202.

Service checks after wading

After wading, check for the ingress of water into the following:

■ Brake fluid reservoir,
■ Air c leaner element,
■ Engine,
■ Transmission,
■ Ax les,
■ Interior of vehicle.

Renew any lubricating oil or hydraulic fluid that has a milky appearance, indicating contamination with water.

All Wheel Dri ve sum mary Do

■ Check fuel and tyres, water and oil levels before venturing off-roa d.
■ Survey on foot before driving off-road, especially when traversing hillsides, wading, driving in deep snow and over ridges.
■ Select the correct gear for the conditions.
- Use the engine's power of ac celera tion and deceleration with the correct gear, to control the vehicle.
- Keep a firm grip on the outer rim of the steering wheel - keep your thumbs away from the spokes.
■ Drive carefully and be prepared for emergencies.
■ Drive slower under crosswind conditions.
■ Approach obstacles and conditions off-road at the correct angles and with sufficient momentum to negotiate the obstacle, but do not put undue strain on the vehicle.
■ Use caution - if you are not sure, do not do it.

Don't

■ Do not venture off-road unless you are certain that the conditions are capable of being negotia ted safely by you and your vehicle.
■ Do not take unnecessary risks.
■ Do not use the brak es ex ces sively, to maintain steering control.
■ Do not change gear on difficult terrain - depressing the clutch may cause the vehicle to stop because of drag on the wheels - or accelerate backwards or forwards when on a hill.
■ Do not ride or slip the clutch.
■ Do not spin the wheels if stuck in mud, sand or snow - they will only dig in deeper.
■ Do not drive at an excessive speed, especially into corners. Your All Wheel Drive vehicle has a higher centre of gravity than conventional vehicles. Sudden changes of direction can lead to loss of control.

Driving hints

The first 600 miles (1000 km)

Drive your vehicle at various speeds. Do not use full throttle. Never allow the engine to labour at low revs.

Make good use of all gears. Depress the accelerator pedal a maximum of around three quarters of the available pedal travel in all gears and drive ranges.

Do not drive faster than three quarters of maximum speed.

Avoid quick starts, sudden a acceleration and prolonged high-speed driving, to avoid engine damage and to conserve fuel.

Do not brake unnecessarily hard for the first 125 miles (200 km).

If possib le, a void towing another vehicle.

Never coast with engine not running

Many units may then not function (e.g. brake servo unit, power steering, airbag system). Driving in this manner is a danger to yourself and others.

Brake servo unit

With the engine not running, the brake servo unit is no longer effective once the brake peda I has been depressed once or twice. The braking effect is not reduced, but substantia Ily greater foot pressure is necessary to stop the vehicle.

Power steering

Never leave the steering wheel on full lock when the vehicle is station ary, a s this may damage the power steering pump.

If the power steering should fail - e.g. w the vehicle is being towed with the engine switched off - the vehicle can still be properly steered, but considerably greater effort is necessary.

Driving in mountainous terrain or with a caravan / trailer

Elec trica lly driven fan; the fan cooling capacity is not dependent on engine speed. It is not necessary, therefore, when driving uphill to shift down into a lower gear if the vehicle can climb in a higher gear.

Driving in extreme conditions

When driving in haza rd ous conditions, e.g. in s now , ice , mu d, sand or water, drive slowly and cautiously to allow for greater braking distances.

If stuck, use 2nd gear (automatic transmission in drive range 2) to avoid spinning the front wheels.

Use sand, tyre chains or other non-slip materials to provide traction when stuck in snow, mud or ice.

Driving through water

Before attempting to drive through water, check the depth. If the depth is slightly lower than the underbody of your vehicle, do not attempt to drive through it.

Driving too quickly through water can cause water to enter the engine through the air into ke, causing severe damage. Drive slowly, in a high engine rpm in as low a gear as possible.

Driving with a roof load

Do not exceed the permissible roof load - see page 214. For safety reasons, distribute the load evenly and secure it tightly with straps so that it cannot slip. Set the tyre pressure to the value given for full load. Do not drive faster than 75 mph (120 km/h). Check and retighten straps at frequent intervals.

Sw itching off the engine

If the engine temperature is very high, e.g. after driving in mountainous terrain: allow engine to idle for a pprox. 2 minutes, in order to prevent heat ac cum ula tion.

When you switch off, fans in the engine compartment may continue running for a time, to cool the engine.

Vehi cles w ith turb ocharger \*

In order to protect the turbocharger, after running at high engine speeds or high engine loads, operate the engine briefly at a low load or run in neutral for approx. 30 seconds before switching off.

Sav e energy – m ore m iles / kilometres

Please observe the running-in hints on the previous page and the tips for energy saving on the following pages.

Good, technically correct and economical driving ensures maximum durability and performance for your vehicle.

Overrun

The fuel supply is automatically shut off during overrun, e.g. when the vehicle is being driven down long gradients or during braking. To enable the overrun cut-off to come into action, do not accelerate or declutch during overrun.

Engine rpm

Und er all driving conditions, drive in a fa vourab le engine speed range.

Warming up

Allow engine to warm up while driving. Do not warm it up by letting it run at idling speed. Do not apply full throttle until engine reaches operating temperature.

After a cold start, a automatic transmission * does not shift into higher gears until higher engine speed s ha ve been reached. This allows the catalytic converter to quickly reach the temperature required for optimum pollutant reduction.

Correct gear selection

Do not race your engine whilst in neutral or with a low gear selected. Driving too fast in individual gea rs or drive ranges as well as stop-and-go traffic increa se engine wear and fuel consumption.

Change down

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 climbing.

Clutch operation \*

Always depress the clutch pedal hard to the floor, to prevent shifting difficulties and transmission damage. There must be no ma ts in the area of the pedals.

When driving, do not use the clutch pedal as a footrest; this will cause substantial clutch wear.

Pedals

Do not place any objects in the footwell which could slip under the pedals and inhibit the pedal travel.

To ensure the pedal travel is uninhibited, there must be no mats in the area of the pedals.

When driving, do not use the brake pedal as a footrest; this will cause substantial wear to brake components and cause overheating, resulting in longer braking distances.

Bat tery ca re w hilst dri ving

When driving slowly or when the vehicle is stationary, e.g. in slow urban traffic, stop-and-go traffic or traffic jams, turn off all unnecessary electrical loads where possible (e.g. heated rear window, auxiliary headlights).

When starting the engine, depress the clutch pedal so that transmission resistance is eliminating and the starter motor and battery are relieved.

Save fuel, protect the environment

Trend-setting technology

When developing and manufacturing your vehicle, Vauxhall used environment-friendly and , in the main, recyclable materials. The production methods used to make your vehicle are likewise environmentally-compatible.

Recycling of production wastes keeps the circulation of material closed. Reduction of energy and water requirements also hel to conserve natural resources.

A highly advanced design means that your vehicle can be easily disassembled at the end of its working life, and the individual materials separated for subsequent re-use.

Materia Is such as asbestos and cadmium are not used. The refrigerant in the air conditioning system is CFC-free.

New painting techniques employ water as a solvent.

End-of-li fe vehi cle rec overy

Drive in an energy and environment-conscious

■ High fuel consumption, noise levels and exhaust emissions are often caused by a driving style that is not energy and environment-conscious.
■ You should therefore drive with energy mind: "more miles / kilometres with less fuel".
■ Reduce the noise level and exhaust emissions by adopting an environment-conscious driving style. This is extremely worthwhile and im proves quality of life.

Fuel consumption depends to a great extent on your own personal driving style. The following hints are intended to help you consume fuel at a rate that is as close as possible to the specified levels.

Check your vehicle's fuel consumption every time you refuel. This facilitates early detection of a ny irregularities causing increased fuel consumption.

Warming up

■ Full throttle and warming up at idle speed increase wear, fuel consumption, fuel emission, the a mount of pollutant in the exhaust and the amount of noise.
■ Drive off immediately after starting. Warm up the engine by running it at moderate engine speeds.

Uniform speed

■ Hectic driving significantly increases fuel consumption, the quantity of emission and the proportion of pollutant in the exhaus t.
■ Do not accelerate and brake unnecessarily. Drive at uniform speed.

Avoid frequent starting-off and stopping, e.g. at traffic lights, in short distance traffic and in queues of traffic, by means of clever planning. Select road with good traffic flow.

Idling

■ The engine also consumes fuel when idling.
■ If you have to wait for more than 1 minute, it is worthwhile switching off the engine. Five minutes of idling corresponds to approx. 0.6 miles (1 km) of driving.
- Idling for more than 5 minutes can cause excessive temperatures and damage to the exhaust system.

Overrun

■ The fuel supply is automatically shut off during overrun, e.g. when the vehicle is being driven down long gradients or during b ra king - see page 124.

■ To enable the overrun cut-off to take effect and save fuel, do not accelerate or declutch.

Correct gear selection

■ High revs increase engine wear and fuel consumption.

■ Do not race your engine. Avoid driving at high engine speeds.

Driving with an eye on the tachome ter saves fuel. If possible, drive at low revs in each gear and a t a consta nt speed. Drive in top gear as much a s possible, shift up as soon as possib le and do not shift down prematurely.

High speed

■ The faster the speed, the higher the fuel consumption and noise level. Driving at full throttle uses up a great deal of fuel and generates excessive noise and high emission levels.

■ Slightly releasing the accelerator pedal results in distinct fuel savings with no major loss of speed.

Drive at no more than around three quarters of max imum speed and you will use up to 50% less fuel, without losing a great deal of time.

Tyre pressure

■ Inadequate tyre pressure, leading to higher road resistance, costs money in two ways; for more fuel and increased tyre wear.

■ Regular checks (every 14 days) pay off.

Ele ctri cal loa ds

■ The power consumption of electrical equipment increases fuel consumption.

■ Switch off all additional consumers (e.g. air conditioning, heated rear window) when they are no longer required.

Roof racks ✿

■ Roof racks can increase fuel consumption by approx.

3.5 gal./1000 miles (1 l/100 km) due to air resistance.

■ Remove them if they are not being used.

Repair and maintenance

■ Improper repairs or adjustment and maintenance work can increase fuel consumption. Do not carry out work on the engine yourself.

You may, out of ignorance, infringe environ mental law s b y not disposing of materials properly.

Appropriate parts might not be recycled.

Contact with some of the materials involved may pose a health hazard.

■ We recommend that repairs and maintenance be entrusted to a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Extr eme d riving conditions

■ Driving up steep gradients, cornering, driving on poor roads, and winter driving all increase fuel consumption.

Fuel consumption increa ses dramatically in urban traffic and at winter temperatures, especially on short trips when the engine operating temperature is not reached.

■ Follow the hints given above to keep fuel consumption to a minimum under such conditions.

Fuels, refuelling

Fuel consumption

Optional equipment (e.g. wide tyres, towing equipment) increases the ker bweight and, in some cases, also the permissible Gross Vehicle Weight.

This in turn increases fuel consumption and reduces the maximum speed of the vehicle.

When the vehicle is new, the re is increased friction between the engine and transmission components la sting for several thousand miles / kilom etres. This also increases fuel consumption.

Fuel for petrol engines

Commercially available high-quality fuels are suitable (see page 210). Fuel quality has a decisive influence on the power output, driveability and life of the engine. The additives contained in the fuel play an important role in this regard. You should therefore use only high-quality fuels containing additives.

Petrol with too low an octane number can cause pinking. Vauxhall cannot be held liable for resulting dama ge.

Petrol with a higher octane number can always be used.

A dispe n sin g p um p for leade d fu el c cannot be inserted in the fuel tank of a ve hic le tha t must b e ope rated on unleaded fue l only.

Use of petrol with an octane rating of 95 will ensure economical driving

Fuel for dies el engines

Diesel engines must be operated only on commercially available diesel fuel meeting the specifications of DIN EN 590.

Since January 2004, some oil companies have mixed their diesel fuel with up to 5% Bio fuel (FAME = Fatty Acid Methyl Esters) like RME (Rape-Oil Methyl Ester). This is in accordance with the current DIN EN 590 and does not harm the fuel / injection system. The characteristics of a diesel fuel mixed up with 5% Bio fuel (FAME) do not differ from conventional diesel fuel and do not influence the vehicle's driveability.

Important: Diesel fuel mixed with 5% FAME acc ordering to DIN EN 590 m ust not be confused with 100% Bio Diesel, which is not to be used in Vauxhall engines.

The flow and filterability of diesel fuel are temperature-dependent.

Dieselfuels with improved low temperature properties are the refore a vailable on the market during the winter months. Make sure that you fill the tank with winter fuel before the start of the cold weather season.

Additives can be used with diesel fuels with winter properties that are guaranteed by the manufacturer 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 engines.

Fuel filler cap

If replacing the fuel filler cap, be sure to use the original fuel filler cap for your model, to ensure full functionality.

Refuel ling

⚠ Warning

Care must be taken when dealing with fuel.

Before refuelling, it is absolutely vital to switch off the engine and any heating system with combustion chambers.

Switch off mobile phones.

Fuel is inflamma ble and explosive, the refore a void de aling with fuel near naked flam es and doing anything that would genera te sparks. No sm oking!

This a lso applies where the smell of fuel is noticeable. If the smell of fuel vapour occurs in the vehicle itself, have the cause remedied immediately by a workshop.

Ensure suitable fuel is available before driving in foreign countries.

Diagram showing a mechanical assembly with yellow components and a close-up view of a circular component (no text or symbols)

The fuel filler neck with bayonet cap is located on the left rear side of the vehicle.

The tank flap is locked together with the doors - see page 21.

Unlock doors, tailgate and tank flap by pressing button ≥ on the remote control or by pressing central locking switch h in the driver's door.

Open the tank flap by hand.

If, in cold weather, the tank flap does not open, tap it and try again.

To unlock fuel filler cap: turn it anticlockwise.

If hissing occurs, wait until it stops before completely unsc rewing the fuel filler cap. Remove fuel filler cap and place it in its holder on the inside of the tank flap.

The fuel tank has a limiting system which prevents overfilling of the tank.

Correct refuelling is largely dependent on correct operation of the dispensing pump:

■ Insert dispensing pump as far as it will go and switch it on.
■ After the first automatic cut-off, do not fill the tank any further.

Replace the fuel filler cap and turn it clockwise until you hear several clicks.

Close tank flap.

Wipe off any overflowing fuel immediately.

If fuel is spilt onto the vehicle, rinse the area with clean, cold water as soon as possible, to avoid permanent damage to painted surfaces.

Catalytic converter, exhaust emissions

Ca talytic converter for petrol engines Leaded fuel will damage the catalytic converter and parts of the electronic system, thereby rendering them inoperative.

On vehicles with a catalytic converter, the fuel tank filler neck is of a narrow design so that a dispensing pump for leaded fuel cannot be inserted.

Damage to the catalytic converter or the vehicle may result if the following points are not observed:

If the engine misfires or runs roughly after a cold start, the engine power has reduced significantly or other unusual operating problems occur that indicate a fault in the ignition system, please contact a work shop as quickly as possible. Drive at a slower speed and with less engine revs for a short time, if necessary.
■ If unburned fuel enters the catalytic converter, this may result in overheating and irreparable damage to the catalytic converter.

You should therefore avoid frequent cold starts, unnecessarily long use of the starter when setting off, running the tank dry (an irregular fuel supply leads to overheating) and starting the engine by pushing or towing.

■ If the control indicator for exhaust emissions ☑ flashes, lift your foot off the accelerator until the control indicator stops flashing and is steadily lit. Contact a workshop imm ediately. Control indicator ☑ for exhaust emissions - see pages 70,130.

Catalytic converter for diesel engines Damage to the catalytic converter or the vehicle may result if the following points are not observed :

Consult a workshop as quickly as possible in the event of irregular engine running, a significance loss of engine power or other unusual malfunctions. If necessary, driving may be continued for a short time at a low speed and with a low engine speed.

Side profile illustration of a car with visible dashboard and side-mounted sensors (no text or symbols)

Through design-related measures, primarily in the fuel injection and ignition systems (in combination with the catalytic converter), the proportion of noxious materials in the exhaust, such as carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (CH) and nitrogen oxides (NO), is reduced to a minimum.

If it illuminates when the engine is running, there is a fault in the emission control system or with the dies el particle filter*. The permitted emission values may be exceded. Consult a workshop.

Flashing with the engine running indicates a fault that may damage the catalytic converter. The vehicle's electronic system will switch to an emergency running programme so you may continue to drive without causing damage, by slowing down until the flashing stops and the control indicator is steadily lit. Consult a workshop immediately.

S 13557

Control indicator for engine electronics Control indicator 📋 illum ina tes for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on.

If it illuminates when the engine is running, there is a fault in the engine electronics. The electronics switch to the emergency running programme, fuel consumption may increase and the drivability of the vehicle may be affected.

In some cases, the fault can be eliminated by sw itc hing the engine off and back on aga in. If the c ontrol indicator illuminates again when the engine is running, have the cause of the fault eliminated by a workshop.

Exhaust gases

⚠ Warning

Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide, which has no colour or od our and can be lethal if inhaled.

If exhaust fumes penetrate the vehicle interior, open the windows and consult a workshop immediately.

Do not run engine in enclosed spaces, e.g. in a garage, or sit in a parked vehicle for an extended period with the engine running

Do not drive with tailgate open. If driving with the tailgate open is necessary, set fan to highest t spee d, close wind ows and ensure air recirculation mode is off, to allow entry of outside air.

If the underbody or rear of vehicle is damaged or corroded, you notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system, or whenever you suspect exhaust gases are penetrating the vehicle interior, consult a workshop immediately.

When the vehicle is driven for the first time, wax and oil on the exhaust system may evaporate, producing smoke-like emissions which should not be inhaled. Allow wax and oil to evaporate while the vehicle is in the open air.

Di esel pa rticle filter (DPF) \*

The diesel particle filter removes polluti soot particles out of the exhaust.

The system contains a self-cleaning function at certain intervals. The filter is cleaned by burning the soot particles at high temperature. This procedure runs automatically under certain vehicle conditions and can take up to 15 minutes, during which time fuel consumption may increase. The smell and the noise that oc cur are normal.

The system cannot automatically clean itself under certain vehicle conditions, such as driving short distances.

If control indicator illuminates, you should continue driving, and as soon as the road and traffic situation permits it, increase speed to more than 30 mph (50 km/h) and die s el particle filter cleaning will start.

Cleaning is quicker at faster speeds and under load. The engine speed should not drop below 2000 rpm. The control indicator extinguishes as soon as cleaning is complete.

We recommend that you do not turn the ignition off during cleaning.

Maintenance

Have all maintenance work carried out at the intervals specified by Vauxhall. We recommend that you entrust this work to your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who has proper equipment and trained personnel available. Electronic testing of systems permits rapid diagnosis and remedy of faults. This way, you can be certain that all components of the vehicle's electrical, injection and ignition systems operate correctly, that your vehicle has a low level of pollutant emission and that the catalytic converter system will have a long service life.

You are thereby making an important contribution towards keeping the air clean and compliance with emissions legislation.

Checking and adjustment of the fuel-injection and ignition systems is part of the scope of a Service. For this reason, you should have all maintenance work carried out at the intervals specified in the chapter "Service, Maintenance" on page 202.

Drive control systems

Electronic St abili ty C ontrol (ESC)

The Electronic Stability Control improves driving stability when necessary, independently of the type of road surface and the tyre grip. It also prevents the drive wheels from spinning.

The system monitors ve hicle m oveme nts. As soon as the vehicle starts to swerve (understeers / oversteers), engine output reduced used (the sound of the engine changes) and individual wheels are specifically braked. This considerably im proves the driving stability of the vehicle on snow and ice and on wet or slippery road surfaces.

ESC is ready for operation after the ignition is switched on and the ESC control indicators ⚡, ⚡ and ⚡ illuminate then extinguish after approx. 4 seconds.

When the ESC comes into action, control indica tor ⚙ flashes in the instrument cluster. Some noise or vibration may be apparent.

The vehicle is now in a critical situation; the ESC helps you to keep control of the vehicle and reminds you to match your speed to the road conditions.

Warning

Do not let this special safety fea ture tempt you into taking risk s w hen driving. Traffic safety can only be achieved by adopting a responsible driving style.

The ESC function is turned on again by pressing button ✗ again (control indicator extinguishes) or the next time the ignition is switched on.

Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA)

When the ESC function comes into a ction and recognises a ny emergency situations requiring hard b ra king, it automatically delivers increased braking pressure to the wheels.

Active Rollover Protection (ARP)

If the vehicle moves in an unstable manner this function helps the vehicle maintain normal stability.

Trailer S tability Assist (TSA) \*

TSA monitors vehicle movements when towing a caravan or trailer. If the system detects lurching movements, engine power is reduced and the vehicle / trailer combination is selectively b ra ked until the lurching ceases.

DCS (Descent Control System)

The Descent Control System allows the vehicle to travel at a low speed without depressing the footbrake.

The vehicle will automatically decelerate to a low speed and remain at that speed when DCS button is pressed.

Use only when descending steep grad es while driving off-road. Do not use when driving on normal road surfaces.

Some noise or vibration from the brake system may be apparent when DCS is active.

The yellow DCS control indicator flashes to indicate that the system is not ready for conditions to operate, due to the high temperature (approx. 350 - 400 °C) of friction material, through severe or repeated braking. It will extinguish when the temperature drops below 350 °C.

The yellow DCS control indicator 📄 illuminates when there is a malfunction in the system, due to the extremely high temperature (over 400 °C) of friction material, through severe or repeated braking. It will extinguish when the temperature drops below 350 °C.

These temperatures may differ according to vehicle conditions or outside conditions

Flashing or illumination of the yellow DCS control indicator 📄 reminds the driver that the friction material needs to cool down: drive the vehicle without braking as much as possible.

If the control indicator does not extinguish, have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop.

Cruise control \*

Cruise control can store and maintain speeds over a pprox. 20 mph (30 km/h).

Deviation from the store d speed may occur when driving uphill or downhill.

For safe ty re aso n s, cruise control can not be activated until the footbrake has been depressed once.

Cruise control is operated with buttons - SET, + RES and CRUISE on the turn signal stalk.

Do not use cruise control if it is not advisable to maintain a constant speed (e.g. in situations presenting a danger to yourself and other road users, in heavy traffic or on winding, slippery or greasy roads).

With automatic transmission, only use cruise control while in D.

When cruise control is active, reaction times may be increased, due to the different position of the feet.

⚠ Warning

The driver is always responsible for ensuring that vehicle speed is appropriate for the speed limit and driving conditions - even if cruise control is engaged.

Failure to follow the instructions could lead to injuries or endanger life.

Parking distance sensors \*

The parking distance sensors make parking easier by measuring the distance between the vehicle and any obstacles to the front and rear and giving an acoustic signal in the passenger compartment.

The system record's the distance using four sensors in both the front and rear bumpers.

To activate

The parking distance sensors activate automatically when the ignition is switched on and a forward gear or reverse gear is engaged and the handbrake is released.

The acoustic signal may differ depending on the type of object detected.

If the vehicle approaches an obstacle when in a forward gear or while reversing, a series of signals can be heard in the vehicle interior. The interval between the signals becomes shorter as the distance is reduced. If the distance is less than 30 cm, the signal will be continuous.

⚠ Warning

Under certain circumstances, various reflective surfaces on objects or clothing as well as external noise sources may cause the system to fail to detect obstacles.

The parking distance sensors may not recog nise sharp objects, thick clothes or spong e-like materia ls w hich ab sorb the frequency.

If the sensors are damaged or covered with snow, dirt or ice, the parking distance sensors may not activate.

For these reasons, care must be taken when reversing, even if the parking distance sensors are operational. This is of particular importance when in the vicinity of pedestrians.

Control panel interface with yellow arrow pointing to a warning symbol and icons, labeled S 14538

To deactivate

The system deactivates automatically when in neutral (automatic transmission * in N or P) with the handbrake applied. When the vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h), the system also deactivates.

To deactivate the system manually, press button P on the instrument panel. The control indicator in the button will illuminate.

If the button is pressed again, the control indicator in the button will extinguish and the system will be reactivated as soon as a forward gear or reverse gear is engaged and the handbrake is released.

Control indicator for parking distance sensors

Control indicator P▲ illum inates while driving if there is a fault in the system.

If the acoustic signal sounds 3 times continuously when there are no obstacles near the front or rear bumper, there is a fault in the system.

Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop.

To ensure the safety of other road users and people in the vicinity and to avoid damage to the vehicle, remember:

■ The parking distance sensors should only be considered as a sup plementary function. Normal precautions should be maintained when reversing. Check the rear view and use the mirrors when reversing.
■ Do not push, scratch or otherwise damage the sensors.
■ Do not use high-pressure jet cleaners to clean the sensors. Clean only with a soft sponge and clean water.

Automatic level control \*

Automatic level control makes it possible to keep the height of the vehicle constant when subjected to different loads in the rear (e.g. when passengers are occupying the rear seats or when towing a caravan / trailer). This significantly improves driving conditions.

The vehicle is automatically raised at the rear to its previous unloaded level, increasing spring travel and ground clearance.

Headlight range adjustment - see page 93. In the event of malfunctions, do not utilise the vehicle's full load capacity. Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop without delay.

Tyre pressure monitoring system \*

The tyre pressure m onitoring system continually checks the pressure of all four wheels while driving.

A pressure sensor is integrated in each wheel. Once a minute, the pressure of each tyre is sent to a control unit, where it is compared. If the system detects one or more pressure differences, a message appears on the information display.

Current tyre pressures can be shown in the information d isplay.

For the system to be operational, all wheels must be equipped with pressure sensors and all tyres must be filled to the prescribed pressure. The tyre pressure monitoring system automatically d etec ts if the vehicle is being driven with a load of up to 3 persons or a full load.

Once the ignition is switched on, the system is operational and will continuously monitor the tyre pressures at speeds of approx. 25 m ph (40 km/h) and a bove.

⚠ Warning

The tyre pressure monitoring system does not replace manual checks with a suitable ga uge.

Check tyre pressures at least every 14 days and prior to any long journey: the tyres should be checked when cold. Don't forget to check the sp are.

Tyre pressure – see pages 217.

Brake system

The effectiveness of the brakes is an important factor for traffic safety.

In the interest of effectiveness, do not brake unnecessarily hard during the first 125 miles (200 km) after new disc brake pad s have been fitted.

Wea r of the brake linings must not exceed a specified lim it. Regular maintenance, as detailed in the chapter "Service, Maintenance" on page 202, is therefore of the utmost importance for traffic safety.

Have worn b rake pads replaced by a workshop. Pads which have been tested and passed ensure optimum b rake performance.

Brake pads worn to their minimum thickness may generate a grinding noise. It is possible to continue driving. Have your brake pads replaced as soon as possible. Seek the assistance of a workshop for replacing the b r a ke p ads.

⚠ Warning

Disregard of these instructions may lead to injuries or endanger life.

Diagram of a medical device with three labeled components (no text or symbols present)

Brak e assist

Rapid powerful application of the brake pedal automatically applies ma ximum brake force amplification to achieve the shortest possib le braking distance under full braking (brake assist).

Maintain steady press ure on the brak e pedal for as long as full-on braking is to continue. When the brake pedal is released, the maximum brak e force amp lification is taken away.

Footbrake

The brake system comprises two separate brake circuits.

If one brake circuit should fail, the vehicle can still be braked with the second remaining circuit.

If this happens, the brake pedal must be fully depressed with greater pedal pressure. The distance required for braking will be greater.

If, at any time during driving, the brake pedal can be depressed further than normal, the vehicle repeatedly pulls to one side under braking or brake noise is heard, consult a workshop.

In order to utilise the full pedal travel, particularly in the event of a b ra ke circuit fault, there must b e no mats in the area of the peda ls - see p age 124.

With the engine stop ped, the brake servo assistance is discontinued after the brake pedal has been depressed once or twice. The braking effect is not reduced, but increased foot pressure will be necessary. Take extra care when the vehicle is being towed.

Check the brake lights before starting out on a journey. Shortly after the start of each journey y, the brake system should be tested for its effectiveness at low speed and without increasing other road users, especially if the brakes are wet, e.g. after washing your vehicle.

Excessive braking when going downhill can cause brakes to temporarily overheat. Shift to a lower gear rather than continuously applying brakes.

The brake fluid level should be checked regularly - see page 193.

Handbrake

Always apply handbrake firmly. On slopes, apply the handbrake as firmly as possible.

The mechanical handbrake acts on the brake s on the rear wheel is. It engages automatically when applied.

To release the handbrake, press and hold the button, pull the lever up slightly and lower lever while holding the button in.

To reduce the operating forces of the handbrake, depress the footbrake at the same time.

⚠ Warning

If it illuminates when the hand brake is not applied: stop vehicle, interrupt your journey im mediately.

Check bra ke fluid level and top-up if necessary before consulting a workshop. Have cause of brak e fluid loss rem edied.

If the control indicator stays lit, the brakes do not operate a s normal or leaks are found in the brake system, do not attempt to drive the vehicle. Have the vehic le towed to a work shop for inspection and repair.

If the control indicator does not illuminate when the ignition is switched on or when the handbrake is applied (with ignition on), stop and consult a workshop.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) (AB)

The ABS continually monitors the vehicle's brake system and prevents the wheels from locking, irrespective of the road condition and tyre grip.

It starts to regulate the braking pressure as soon as a wheel shows a tendency to lock. The vehicle remains a te era ble, even in the event of very heavy braking, e.g. on or when swerving to avoid an obstacle. Even in the case of full-on braking, the ABS makes it possible to drive round an obstacle without releasing the brakes.

ABS control is made apparent through a pulse in the brake pedal and the noise of the regulation process.

⚠ Warning

For optimum b ra king, keep the brak e pedal fully depressed throughout the braking process, despite the fact that pedal is pulsating. Do not reduce the pressure on the pedal.

Do not let this special safety feature tempt you into taking risks when driving

Traffic safety can only be achieved by adopting a responsible driving style.

If the control indicator does not illumina te when the ignition is switched on, does not extinguish after approx. 4 seconds, or if it illuminates during driving, there is a fault in the ABS. The vehicle's brake system may remain operational without ABS regulation.

If control indicator (④) illum ina tes during driving a long with brake sy stem control indicator (①②), there is a serious fault in the brake system. Have the sy stem checked immediately by a workshop.

Fault

⚠ Warning

If there is a fault in the ABS, the wheels may tend to lock in the event of unusually heavy braking. This may cause the vehicle to sw erve. The benefits of the ABS are lost.

You can continue driving, provided you drive with care and anticipation.

Have the cause of the fault remedied by a works hop. The system's integrated self-diag nostics allows faults to be quickly remedied.

Wheels, tyres

See page 216 for suitable tyres and restrictions.

Factory - fitted tyres are matched to chassis and offer optimum driving comfort and safety.

Changing tyre / wheel type

Note the necessary modifications before switching to different tyres or wheels.

⚠ Warning

Use of unsuitable tyres or wheels may lead to a accidents and render the vehicle unroadworthy.

If wheel rims of a different type are to be installed, the wheel nuts may also need to be changed. We rec om mend you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

If tyres of a different size to those fitted at the factory are used (this includes winter tyres), the electronic speedometer may possibly need to be reprogram med, to ensure that the speed displayed is corre

Vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring system\*

When using winter tyres, or when switching to different tyre sizes, sensors for the tyre pressure monito ring sy ste m can be fitted at a later date by a work shop, upon request. Otherwise, the system would not indicate tyre pressure deviations.

Tyre p ressure monitoring system - see page 140.

Fitting new tyre s

New tyres should be fitted in pairs, or, for preference, in sets. Make sure that both tyres on an axle are:

■ the same size,
■ the same design,
■ the same make,
■ and have the same tread pattern.

Fit directional tyres such that they roll in the direction of travel. The rolling direction is indicated by a symbol (e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall.

Tyres fitted op posing the rolling direction (e.g. when a tyre is changed) should be refitted as soon as possible. This is the only way to obtain full benefit from the design properties of the tyre.

Observ e le gal re quire ments wh en disposing of tyres.

Some brands of tyres have a beaded edge for alloy wheels, to protect against damage. If wheel trims are used on steel wheels with beaded-edge tyres, the following procedure must be followed:

■ Wheel trims and tyres that are approved by Vauxhall for the respective vehicle and comply with all of the relevant wheel and tyre combination requirements must be used.

■ If the wheel trims and tyres used are not Vauxhall-approved, the tyres must not have a beaded edge.

⚠ Warning

Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel trims could lead to sudden pressure loss and thereby accidents.

Tyre pressure

Check tyre pressures when cold, at least every 14 days and prior to any long journey. Don't forget to check the spare.

Use the valve cap key * to make unscrew wing the valve caps easier. The valve cap key is located on the inside of the tank flap.

Tyre pressures - see page 217.

Increa sed pre ssure re su ltin g from tyre warm-up must not be reduced, otherw ise the p ressure may drop below the permissible minimum when the tyres cool down.

Illustration of a hand using a tool to adjust a mechanical component (no text or symbols visible)

After having checked the tyre pressures, securely tighten the valve caps.

Incorrect inflation pressures will imp air safety, vehicle handling, comfort and fuel economy and will increase tyre wear.

If the pressure is too low, this can result in consider a ble tyre warm-up and internal damage, leading to trea d separation and even to tyre blow-out at high speeds.

Hidden tyre damage is not eliminated by subsequently adjusting the inflation pressure.

⚠ Warning

Incorrect tyre pressure could lead to a flat tyre.

Tyre cond ition, w heel cond ition

Driving over sharp edges can lead to hidden tyre damage and wheel damage which is only noticed later on; danger of tyre blow-out.

Drive over edges slowly and at a right angle if possible. When parking, ensure that the tyres are not pressed against the edge of the kerb.

Check tyres regularly for damage (foreign bodies, punctures, cuts, cracks, bulges in sidewalls). Check wheels for damage. In the event of damage or abnormal wear, consult a workshop.

⚠ Warning

Damage may lead to tyre blowout.

Tread dept h

Check tread depth regularly. Should the front tyres show greater wear than the rear tyres, have both front wheels exchanged with the rear wheels so that the tyres with deeper tread are on the front axle.

For information on how to change a wheel - see page 174.

Check the tyre presures - se e p age 217.

TWN 17216 T

For safety reasons, tyres should be replaced when their tread depth has worn down to 2 to 3 mm. The legal permissible minimum tread depth (1.6 mm) has been reached when the tread has worn down as far as one of the wear indicators.

A number of wear indicators are spaced at equal intervals a round the tyre, within the tread. Their position is indicated by markings on the tyre sidewall.

General information

Note that the danger of aquap laning is greater if the tyres are worn and if the tyre pressures are not correct.

Tyres age, even if they are used only very little or not at all. A spa re wheel which has not been used for six years should be used with care.

Never fit used tyres the previous history and use of which you do not know.

Wint er tyre s \*

See page 216 for restrictions.

Winter tyres (M + S tyres) im prove safety at extremely low outside temperatures and should therefore be fitted on all wheels.

The design of summer tyres means they have limited qualities for winter driving.

If the maximum permisible speed for the winter tyres is less than that of the vehicle, a notice indicating the maximum permissible speed for the tyres must be affixed within the driver's field of vision ^*1 .

If you use the spare wheel when it is fit with a sum mer tyre; the vehicle's driveability may be affected, especially on slippery road surfaces. Obtain a replacement for the faulty tyre as soon as possible, and have the wheel balanced and fitted to the vehicle.

Ensure that winter tyres are inflated to the correct pressure specified by the tyre manufacturer.

If winter tyres are installed that have not been approved for your vehic le, ESC performance may be a affected. Consult a workshop regarding availa bility of approved winter tyres.

Wheel trims \*

If the wheel trims and tyres used are not Vauxhall-approved, make sure the tyres do not have a beaded edge - see page 145.

Tyre chains \*

See page 216 for restrictions.

Tyre chains must not be used on the temporary spare wheel. If you need to use tyre chains after suffering a flat front tyre, fit the temporary spare wheel on the rear axle and transfer one of the rear wheels to the front axle.

Always use fine-linked chains that add no more than 15 mm to the tyre tread and the inboard sides (including chain lock).

Tyre chains may only be used at speeds of up to 30 mph (50 km/h) or up to the tyre chain manufacturer's recommended maximum speed, whichever is lower.

When travelling on roads that a re free of snow, they may only be used for brief periods since they are subject to rapid wear on a hard road and may snap.

Avoid sharp turns, bum ps and holes and do not lock the wheels when braking, to avoid damaging the tyre chains.

Retighten the chains after driving for approx. 0.6 miles (1 km). If, at any time, you hear or suspect that the chains are contacting the vehicle, stop and retighten the chains.

Always read the instructions supplied with the tyre chains.

Tem porary sp are wheel

The temporary spare wheel is designed for use on your vehicle only.

Do not a ttempt to use the spare tyre on a different wheel, or use a different tyre on the spare wheel, as they will not fit.

Towing

Caravan / trai ler loads 1)

The permissible caravan / trailer load s a re vehicle-dependent and engine-dependent maximum values which must not be exc ee ded.

The actual caravan / trailer load is the difference between the actual gross weight of the caravan / trailer and the actual coupling socket load with the caravan / trailer coupled.

When the caravan / trailer load is being checked, therefore, only the caravan / trailer wheels - and not the jockey wheel - must be standing on the weighing apparatus.

The permissible caravan / trailer loads for your vehicle are given in the vehicle papers. Unless otherwise stated, they are valid gradients up to max. 12%.

The permissible caravan / trailer load should be fully utilized only by drivers who are ad equately experienced in towing large caravans / trailers.

The permitted caravan / trailer load applies up to the specified incline and up to an altitude of 1000 metres above sea-level.

Since engine power decreases as altitude e increa ses b ecause of the air becoming thinner, therefore reducing climbing ability, it may not be possible for permissible trailer loads to be fully utilized in mountainous territory.

The permitted towing weight decreases by 10% for every 1000 metres of additional altitude.

The towing weight does not have to be reduced when driving on roads with slight inclines (less than 8%, e.g. on motorways).

The actual caravan / trailer loa d plus the actual Gross Vehic le Weight m ust not exceed the maximum permitted towing weight. For example, if the permitted Gross Vehicle Weight is utilised, the caravan / trailer loa d must only be used until the ma ximum permitted towing weight is reached.

The maximum permitted towing weight is shown on the vehicle identification plate - see page 208.

Coup ling socket load

The coupling socket load is the load exerted by the caravan / trailer on the coupling ball. It can be varied by changing the weight distribution when loading the caravan / trailer.

The maximum permissible coupling socket load for the towing vehicle (80 kg) is stated on the towing equipment identification plate and should always be aimed for, particularly in the case of heavy caravans/trailers. The coupling socket load should never be below 25 kg.

When measuring the coupling socket load, make sure that the drawbar of the loaded caravan / trailer is at the same height as it will be when the caravan / trailer is coupled with the towing vehicle loaded. This is particularly important for caravans / trailers with tandem axle.

Rear axle load during towing

When the caravan / trailer is coup led and the towing vehicle fully loaded (including all occupants), the perm issible rear axle load must not be exceeded.

National regulations regarding maximum speeds for vehicles towing a caravan / trailer must be observed.

Illustration of a hand holding a syringe with yellow connectors, partially open a car interior (no text or symbols visible)

Tyre p ressure

Increase the tyre pressure on the towing vehicle to the value specified for full load (see page 217). Also check the pressure of the caravan / trailer tyres.

Driving characteristics, towing tips

In the case of caravans / trailers with brakes *, attach the breakaway stopping cable to the eye * or loop around coupling ball b ar if no ey e is availa ble.

Ensure cable is crossed under the coupling socket to ensure the caravan / trailer nose cannot drop to the ground if it becomes separated from the trailer hitch.

Do not allow the cable to drag along the ground and always allow enough slack to permit full turning. Follow the instructions sup plied with the towing equipment.

Before coupling the caravan / trailer, lubricate the ball of the caravan / trailer towing device. However, do not do so if a stabilizer which acts on the coupling ball is being used to dam p rolling motions.

Handling is greatly influenced by the loading of the caravan / trailer. Loads should therefore be secured so that they cannot slip and should be placed in the centre of the caravan / trailer if possible, i.e. above the axle.

Vauxhall genuine parts and accessories which can be subsequently fitted aid trailer opera tion, e.g. large mirrors for wide caravans / trailers.

In the case of caravans / trailers with low directional stability, it is a visable to use a friction-type sta bilizer to da mp rolling motions.

Do not drive faster than 50 m ph (80 km/h), even in countries where higher speeds of permitted.

When driving uphill, do not drive faster than 20 mph (30 km/h) in 1st gear, or 30 mp h (50 km/h) in 2nd gear.

Make sure that you have enough room when cornering and a void sud den manoeuvres.

If the caravan / trailer starts to sway, drive more slowly, do not attempt to correct the steering and bra ke sharply if necessary.

If it is necessary to apply the brakes fully, depress the brake pedal as hard as possible.

The cooling fan is electrically operated. The fan cooling capacity is not, therefore, dependent on engine speed. It is not necessary, when driving uphill, to shift down into a lower gear if the vehicle can climb in a higher gear.

When coupled to a ca ra van / trailer, the ve hicle re quires more braking e ffort when driving dow n long gradients, so select the same gear as you would when driving uphill and drive at roughly the same speed.

Automatic transmission in Automatic mode will select the driving programme with the optimum engine braking effect.

Remember that b raking distances for vehicles towing caravans / trailers with and without brakes is always greater than for vehicles not towing a caravan / trailer. For caravans / trailers with brakes, follow the instructions carefully. Do not make any modifications to the brake system.

Always check lights on caravans / trailers before towing. Ensure national regulations are observed.

The fog tail light on the vehicle is deactivated when towing a caravan / trailer.

When reversing, if possible, have someone provide assistance.

Drive slowly and shift down into a lower gear when descending steep gradients rather than holding the footbrake depressed, to avoid overheating and reduced b rake efficiency.

Block the wheels of both the caravan / trailer and the vehicle when parking and always a pply the handbrake firmly. If possible, do not park on slopes.

⚠ Warning

Have some on e p rovid e as sistance when removing block s. Alw ays remove block s from wheels while standing to one side

Do not remove blocks while standing behind the caravan / trailer; risk of injury and damage to both the vehicle and caravan / trailer.

Side view of a car with a small vehicle being pulled off, no visible text or symbols

Pa rking on inclines

If parking on an incline is unavoidable, depress the footbrake, have someone place whee I blocks und er the caravan / trailer wheels and release the footbrake until the blocks have absorbed the load.

Depress footb rake again, apply ha ndb ra ke, engage first gear on uphill gradients or reverse gear on downhill gradients (automatic transmission * in P) and fina lly, release footbrake.

Side view of a car with exhaust plume and vehicle, no visible text or symbols

St arting on inclines

Depress the footbrake and hold it down, start the engine, shift into gear and release the ha ndb rake.

Release footbrake and drive slowly until the caravan / trailer is clear of the wheel blocks. Stop the vehicle and have someone pick up the blocks. If possible, the engine speed should not drop during this procedure.

For vehicles with automatic transmission * in Automatic mode, ap ply sufficient throttle.

Before starting-off under extreme conditions (e.g. high com bina tion weight, mountainous terrain with steep inclines), switch off all unnecessary electrical loads (e.g. heated rear window, air conditioning system, heated front seats *).

General information

If you use winter tyres*, the spare wheel may still be fitted with a summer tyre.

If you use the spare wheel when it is fitted with a summer tyre, the vehicle's driveability may be affected, especially on slippery road surfaces.

Obtain a replacement for the faulty tyre as soon as possible, and have the wheel balanced and fitted to the vehicle.

Notes on temporary spare wheel

■ Using a temporary spa re wheel m ay change the driving behaviour of the vehicle, particularly if using winter tyres*. Replace defective tyre as quic kly as possible, balance whee l and fit to vehicle.
■ Fit only one temporary sp are wheel.
■ Do not drive faster than 50 mph (80 km/h).
■ Take curves slowly.
■ Do not use the temporary spare wheel for a lengthy period.
■ Replace tem pora ry spare wheel with full specification w heel without delay.
■ When temporary spare wheel is fitted, do not take the vehicle through a n automatic car w ash with guid e rails. The temporary spare wheel may get caught on the rails, causing damage to the tyre, wheel and other vehicle pa rts.
■ Tyre chains are not permitted on the temporary spare wheel.

If tyre chains are necessary after a front wheel puncture, fit the temporary spare wheel to the rear and a rear wheel to the front. Check tyre pressure and adjust necessary - see page 217.

■ Follow the temporary spare wheel instructions on pages 149, 177, 216.

Notes on directional tyres \*

Tyres with a p rescribed rotating direction can only achieve their maximum performance if they are fitted in the prescribed rotating direction.

If a tyre or spare wheel is fitted that is rotating in the wrong direction due to a puncture, the following must be noted:

■ The handling of the vehicle may be different. Replace defective tyres as soon as possible, have wheel bala nced and fitted to the vehicle.
■ Do not drive faster than 50mph (80 km/h).
■ Drive particularly carefully on wet and snow-covered road surfaces.
■ For more information on tyres with a prescribed rotating direction - see page 145.

Bulb replacement

Before replacing a bulb, switch off ignition and relevant switch.

Only hold new bulbs at base! Do not touch the bulb glass with bare hands, otherwise fingerprints on the g lass evaporate and residue builds up on the reflector eventually resulting in a dull reflector. Inadvertently stained bulbs may be cleaned with a clean lint-free cloth, using alcohol or white spirit.

Replacement bulb must be in accordance with data on base of defective bulb. Do not exceed wattage given on bulb base.

Headlight aiming

We recommend that headlight aiming be carried out by a workshop, which will have special equipment.

When aiming your headlights, the manual headlight range adjustment * must be set to 0.

Vauxhall genuine parts and ac cessories

We recommend the use of "Vauxhall genuine parts and accessories" and conversion parts released expressly for your vehicle type. These parts have undergone special tests to establish their reliability, safety and specific suitability for your vehicle. Despite continuous market monitoring, we cannot assess or guarantee these attributes for other products, even if they have been granted approval by the relevant authorities or in some other form.

"Vauxhall genuine parts and accessories" and conversion parts approved by Vauxhall can be obtained from your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who can provide comprehensive advice about permitted technic al changes and ensure that the part is installed correctly.

A note on safety

To avoid the possibility of injury, only carry out engine compartment checks (e.g. checking the brake fluid level or the engine oil level) when the ignition is switched off.

⚠ Warning

The cooling fan may be operated by a thermos witch and can therefore start to operate unex pecte dly, even when the ignition is switched off; risk of injury.

Electronic ignition systems generate very high voltages. Do not touch the ignition system; high voltage can be fatal.

Never carry out any repairs or adjustment and maintenance work on the vehicle yourself. This especially applies to the engine, chassis and safety parts. You may, out of ignorance, infringe the provisions of the law and, by not performing the work properly, you may endanger yourself and other road users.

Checking and topping up fluids

To aid identification, the engine oil filler cap, the coolant filler cap, the lid of the fluid container for the windscreen wash system and the handle of the engine oil gauge (dipstick) may be coloured yellow.

Engine oil

Information on engine oils is available on page 206.

Engine oil level and consumption

It is normal for every engine to consume some oil, and it is sometimes necessary to check and top up the engine oil level between oil chang es.

⚠ Warning

Do not allow the engine oil level to drop below the minimum level.

For this reason, the engine oil level should be checked every 300 miles (500 km) or before starting a long trip.

MAX MIN S 13657

The illustrations show checking and replenishing the engine oil in the Z 24 petrol engine and the Z 20 diesel engine respectively.

MAX MIN S 13658

To check the level, re move dipstick from the dipstick tube, wipe it clean and re-insert it as far as it will go. After pulling the dipstick out again, check the oil level, ensuring it is between the lower and upper (or MIN and MAX) marks.

Diagram of a car intake into a container with a yellow liquid, showing mechanical components and airflow direction (no text or symbols)

Engine oil level check and topping up The engine oil level must be checked with the vehicle horizontal and with the engine (which must be at operating temperature) switched off. Wait a few minutes before checking the level to allow the normal oil accumulation in the engine to drain back into the oil pan.

Top up if the engine oil level has dropped to the "add oil" lower mark (or MIN mark).

The oil level must not go above the upper (or MAX) mark on the dipstick. This would lead, for example, to increased oil consumption, excessive formation of carbon residue and a possible risk of damage to the catalytic converter or engine.

Illustration of a hand pouring yellow liquid into a container with a yellow stopper, no text or symbols present

When replenishing, attem pt to use the same e typ e of eng ine oil as use d at the last oil cha nge.

Capacities - see page 218.

A stab iliza tion of the engine oil consumption will not take place until the vehicle has been driven several thousand miles / kilometres. Only then can the a ctual degree of oil c onsumption be established.

If oil consumption exceeds more than 0.6 litres every 600 miles (1000 km) after this running-in period, consult a workshop

⚠ Warning

Important: It is the owner's responsibility to maintain the correct level of an appropriate quality oil in the engine.

Engine oil change, oil filter change Eng ine oil changes are to be carried out depending on time intervals or mileage / kilometre intervals, since oil loses its lubrication properties not only through engine operation but also through ageing. We recommend that you use genuine Vauxhall oil filters.

⚠ Warning

Used engine oil filters and empty oil containers should not be disposed of as domestic refuse. We recommend that you entrust oil and oil filter changes to a work shop who is familiar with legal requirements regarding disposal of used oil and can thus help to protect both the environment and your health.

Engine oil is a danger to health; avoid prolonged contact with skin and wash exposed areas thoroughly.

Remember to reset the engine oil life monitor * whenever the engine oil is changed - see page 190.

Engine oil life monitor \*

The engine oil life monitor lets you know when to change the oil. Ba sed on driving conditions, the mileage / kilometre interval at which an oil change will be indicated can vary considerably.

For the system to work properly, it must be reset every time the oil is changed. Consult a workshop.

When the system has calculated that oil life has been diminished, control indicator illuminates in the instrument cluster - see page 69. Engine oil needs changing within approx. 600 miles (1000 k m). Engine power may be decreased.

Diagram showing a car's wheel switch with a yellow circular dial indicator and a numbered component, likely illustrating the mechanism.

Diesel fuel filter

Drain diesel fuel filter of residual water at every engine oil change.

Place a container underneath the filter housing. Turn drain plug, located on the left of the filter housing, anticlock wise using a suitable screwd river, to drain off the water.

The filter is drained a s soon as diesel fuel emerges from the port. Retighten the drain plug b y turning it clockwise.

With engine switched off, turn ignition key to ON, wait approx. 5 seconds, and turn key to LOCK to perform priming operation. Perform this operation 3 times or more while the engine is switched off, to a void air entering the fuel line.

Check diesel fuel filter at shorter intervals if the vehicle is subjected to extreme operating conditions such as high humidity (primarily in coastal areas), extremely high or low outside temperatures and substantially varying daytime and night time temperatures.

If there is water in the diesel fuel filter, control indicator ⚙ illuminates in the instrument c luster - see page 69. Dra in the water immediately.

Coolant

During operation, the system is pres surize d. The tempe ratu re ma y the refore rise to over 100 °C.

The an ti-fre ez e provid es ex celle nt corrosion protection for the cooling and heating system, as well as freeze protection down to -28 °C.

Certain ty pes of anti-freeze can lead to engine damage. We therefore strongly recommend the use of anti-freeze that he been approved by Vauxhall.

⚠ Warning

Anti-freeze is a danger to health: it must therefore be kept in the original conta inner and out of the reach of children.

Anti-freeze and corrosion protection

Before the start of the cold weather season, have the coolant checked for correct concentration by a workshop. The amount of anti-freeze must provide protection down to a pprox. -28 °C. If the anti-freeze concentration is too low, this reduces protection from freezing and corrosion. Top up anti-freeze if necessary.

If coolant loss is topped up with demineralised water, have anti-freeze ^5 concentration checked and more anti-freeze added as necessary.

MAX MIN S 13655

Coola nt level

Hardly any losses occur since the cooling system is sealed and it is thus rarely necessary to top up the coolant.

The coolant level in the expansion tank should be between the MIN and MAX marks when the system is cold.

⚠ Warning

Allow engine to cool down before removing coolant filler cap. If steam is visible, move away from the vehicle until the engine is cool.

Remove coolant filler cap carefully so that pressure can escape slowly, otherwise the re is a risk of scalding.

When the engine is at operating temperature, coolant level rises. It falls again when the system cools. If it falls below the MIN mark when the system is cold, the coolant must be replenished.

Top up anti-freeze. If no anti-freeze is available, top up with c lean tap water. If tap water is una vailable, distilled water can be used.

When you top up with tap water or d istilled water, add concentrated anti-freeze and possibly mix in anti-freeze a s well. Have the cause of the coolant loss eliminated by a work shop.

Too low a coolant level can cause engine damage.

When closing, tighten cool a nt filler cap as far r as it will go.

Cool ant temp era ture

Control indicator 📁 illuminates when coolant temperature is too high. Check coolant level:

■ Coolant level low:

Top up coolant. Pay attention to the instructions given under "Anti-freeze and corrosion protection" and "Coolant level". Have the cause of the coolant loss remedied by a workshop.

■ Coolant level OK:

Have the cause of increased coolant temperature remedied by a workshop.

Brake fluid Brake fluid level

⚠ Warning

Caution - brake fluid is poisonous and corrosive. Do not allow it to contact eyes, skin, fabric or painted surface; direct contact may cause injuries and damage

The brake fluid level in the reservoir must not be higher than the MAX mark or lower than the MIN mark.

Do not overfill the brake fluid reservoir, as this may cause an engine fire due to fluid burning; risk of injury and damage to the vehicle.

Use of some brake fluids could cause damage or impa ir braking effectiveness. Stay well informed. We recommend that you use Vaux hall-approved high performance brake fluid.

Extreme cleanliness is im porta nt, since brake fluid contamination can lead to brake sy ste m malfu nctions.

If brake fluid level is too low, brake system control indicator (D) illuminates in the instrument cluster - see page 66.

After correcting the brake fluid level, have the cause of the loss remedied by a workshop.

Brake fluid change

As brake fluid is hygroscopic, it absorbs water. Vapour bubbles which imp air the braking effect may occur during braking.

The fluid change interval is specified in the chapter "Service, Maintenance" on page 202 must therefore be observed.

Warning

We recommend that you have brake fluid chang ed by a work shop, who will be familiar with the requirements of the law as regards disposal of brake fluid and can thus help to protect the environment and your health.

Windscreen wiper

Clear vision is essential for safe driving.

Perform regular checks on the wiper to ensure it is operating correctly. We recommend wiper b lade replacement a t least once a year.

If the windscreen is dirty, operate the windscreen wash system before switching on the wiper or setting the wiper to automatic operation with the rain sensor *. This will avoid wiper blade wear.

Do not switch on the windscreen wiper if the wind scre en is dry or ob structured (e.g. with snow or ice), as this could damage the glass, the wiper bla des, or the wiper system.

If the wiper becomes frozen on to the glass, we recommend that it be released with the aid of Vauxhall De-icer Spray before starting the vehicle, to prevent wiper motor damage.

Smearing wiper blades can be cleaned with a soft cloth and Vauxhall Windscreen Wash Solvent.

Wiper blades whose lips have become hardened, crack ed or covered with silicone must be replaced. This may be necessary as a result of the effects of ic e, thawing salt or heat, or the incorrect use of cleaning agents.

Switch h off the wiper in car washes – see pages 88 and 198.

Wiper care - see page 200.

Close-up of a mechanical component with a yellow arrow pointing to a small circular feature (no text or symbols visible)

To ensure proper operation of the rain sensor *, the sensor area must be free from dust, dirt and ice, which is why the windscreen wash system must be operated at regular intervals and the sensor area de-iced. Vehicles with rain sensor can be ide ntified by the sens or area near the top of the windscreen.

Do not spray wash fluid onto windscreen in freezing weather, to avoid ice forming and impa iring vision.
The filler opening of the fluid container for the windscreen wash system is located in the front of the engine compartment.
Fill only with commercially available,
ready-to-use windscreen wash fluid.
Do not use tap water, as minerals will cause clog ging in the system.

In cold weather, do not fill the windscreen wash fluid reservoir more than three-quarters full, to allow enough room for expansion if the fluid freezes, and to prevent damage to the reservoir.

In freezing conditions, use windscreen wash fluid with sufficient antifreezing properties. Do not use coolant anti-freeze or tap water, to avoid freezing the solution and damaging the wind screen wash system.

When closing the container, press the lid down firmly all the way round.

If the fluid in the windscreen wash fluid reservoir is too low, control indicator illuminates in the instrument cluster - see page 69. Top up wash fluid as soon as possible.

Battery

The battery is maintenance-free.

⚠ Warning

We recommend that you have battery changes carried out by a workshop who knows the laws concerning the disposal of used batteries, therefore protecting the environment and your health.

Retro-fitted electrical or electronic accessories can place an additional load on the battery or discharge the battery. Consult a workshop regarding technical possibilities, such as fitting a more powerful battery.

Laying up the vehicle for more than 6 weeks can lead to battery discharge, which may reduce the service life of the battery. Disc onnec t battery from on-board power supply by detaching negative termina I.

The Vauxhall alarm system *siren must be deactivated as follows: switch the ignition on then off, disconnect the vehicle's battery within 15 seconds.

Ensure that ignition is switched off before connecting the battery. Then perform the following actions:

■ Set date and time in the information display y - see pages 76, 82.
■ If necessary, activate the electric windows and sunroof * - see pages 28, 30.

In order to prevent the battery from discharging, some consumers such as the courtesy lights automatically switch off after a delay.

⚠ Warning

Ensure there is a dequate ventilation when charging the battery. There is a risk of explosion if gases generated during charging are allowed to accumulate Battery acid is poisonous and corrosive. Do not allow it to conta ct eyes, skin, fab ric s or p ainted surfaces; direct contact may cause injuries and damage. Avoid dealing with the battery near naked flames and anything that would generate sparks. No smoking!

Charge a d isconnected battery every 6 weeks.

Protection of electronic components

In order to avoid the breakdown of electronic components within the electrical system, never disconnect the battery with the engine running. Never start the engine while the battery is d isconnected (e.g. when using jump leads).

To avoid dam aging the vehicle, do not make any modifications to the electrical system, e.g. connecting additional consumers or tampering with electronic control units (chip tuning).

⚠ Warning

Electronic ignition systems generate very high voltages. Do not touch the ignition system; high voltage can be fatal.

Disconnecting / connecting the battery from /t o the electrical system

Disconnect the battery from the vehicle electrical system before charging: first detach the negative and then the positive lead.

Do not reverse the polarity of the battery, i.e. do not confuse the terminals for the positive and negative leads. When connecting, start with the positive lead and then connect the negative lead.

Vehicle storage

If your vehicle is to be stored for long periods without use, we recommend you consult a workshop for advice.

Vehicle care

In caring for your vehicle, observe all national environmental regulations, particularly when washing your vehicle.

Regular, thorough care contributes to improving the appearance of your vehicle and maintaining its value. It is also a prerequisite for claims made under the warranty, in the event of paint or corrosion damage. In the following pages, we give you tips for vehicle care which, with correct use, will help to ward off unavoidable and harmful environmental influences.

Washing

The paintwork of your vehicle is exposed to environmental influences, e.g. continuous changes in weather conditions, industrial waste gases and dust or thawing salts, so wash and wax your vehicle regularly. When using automatic car washes, select a programme which includes waxing.

Bird droppings, dead insects, resin, pollen and the like should be cleaned off imm ediately, a s they contain aggressive constituents which can cause paint dam age.

If using a car wash, comply with the pertinent instructions of the car wash manufacturer. The windscreen wiper and tailgate wiper must be switched off – see pages 11, 12. Remove detachable rod antenna by unscrewing it.

Do not use high-pressure jet cleaners.

If you wash your vehicle by hand, make sure that the insides of the wings are also thoroughly rinsed out. Do not use household dishwashing liquid, to avoid removing wax from the paintwork.

Clean edges and folds on opened doors and flaps as well as the areas they cover.

Thoroughly rinse off and leather-off the vehicle. Rinse leather frequently. Use separate lea thers for pa int a nd window surfaces; remnants of wa x on the windows will impa ir vision.

Also wash a lum inium trim parts, avoiding the use of abrasive materials such as automotive or chrom e polish, steam or caustic soap. Washing with water is normally sufficient.

Observe na tional regulations.

Waxing

Wax your vehicle regularly, in particular after it has been was done using Ca r Shampoo and at the latest when water no longer forms beads on the paintwork, otherwise the paintwork will dry out.

Also w ax aluminium trim parts, edges and folds on opened doors and flaps as well as the a reas they cover.

Polishing

Polishing is necessary only if the paint has become dull or if solid deposits have become attached to it.

Paintwork polish with silicone forms a protective film, making waxing unnecessary.

Plastic body parts should not be treated with wax and polish.

Use Metallic Paintwork Wax on vehicles with a metallic-effect paint finish.

Wheels

Use a p H-neutral wheel cleaning a gent to clean the wheel is.

Avoid using a brasive materials and brushes that can damage the finish.

Whe els are painted and can be treated with the same agents as the body. For a lloy wheels, we re comme nd the use of Alloy Wheel Preserver.

Pa intwork damage

Repair small areas of paint dam age such as stone impacts, scratches etc. immediately, using a Vauxhall Touch-up Ap plicato r or Vau x hall Spray and d Touc h-up Paint before rust can form. If rust has already formed, have the cause reme died by a workshop. Please also pay attention to surfaces and edges beneath the vehicle where rust may have formed unnoticed for some time.

Exterior lights

Headlight and other protective light bezels are made of plastic. If they require additional cleaning after the vehicle has been washed, clean them with Car Shampoo. Do not use any abrasive or caustic agents, do not use an ice scraper, and do not clean them dry.

Plastic and rubb er parts

For additional clea ning of pla stic and rubber parts, use a c leaner suitable for vehicle interiors. Do not use any other agent, and in particular do not use solvents or petrol.

Wheels and tyres

Do not use high-pressure jet cleaners on wheels and tyres.

Interior and upholstery

Clean the vehicle interior regularly, including the instrument panel facia, using Interior / Upholstery Cleaner.

Clean fabric upholstery with a vacuum cleaner and brush. To remove stains, use a cleaner that is suitable for both fabrics and vinyl.

Open Velcro fasteners on clothing could damage seat upholstery. Make sure that Velcro fasteners are closed.

Do not use cleaning agents such as acetone, carbon tetrachloride, paint thinner, paint remover, nail varnish rem over, washing powder or bleach to clean fabrics, carpets, the instrument panel or lea ther trim in the vehic le interior. Benz ine, petrol, naphtha, ena mel reducers and lacquer thinners are also unsuitable.

Avoid over-exposure to vapours from cleaning agents and other chemicals when cleaning. Where ver possible, avoid using such cleaning agents in small, unventilated spaces, to avoid inhalation of dangerous vapours. Open the doors.

If the front seats are equipped with side airbags *, do not use chemical solvents or strong detergents on the seat covers.

Do not saturate the seat covers with Interior / Upholstery Cleaner, to avoid contaminating the airbag system, otherwise the side airbags * may not trigger in the event of a collision.

Seat belts

Alw ays keep seat belts clean and dry. Clean seat belts only with lukewarm water or Interior / Upholstery Cleaner.

Periodically check the seat belts and replace immediately with new seat belts if damage or weakening of the belts has occurred.

Windows

When cleaning the heated rear window, make sure that the heating element on the inside of the window is not damaged. Never place stickers on the inside of the rear window.

Use a soft, lint-free cloth or chamois leather, in conjunction with Window Cleaning Spray and Insect Remover. Do not use sharp instruments or abrasive cleaners.

Vauxhall Wind screen Wash Solvent is suitable 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.

Windscreen wiper blades

Wax, such as that used in car w ashe s, can cause strea ks to form on the windscreen when the wiper is used.

Smearing wiper blades can be cleaned with a soft cloth and Vauxhall Windscreen Wash Solvent, and replaced if necessary – see page 194. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Locks

The locks are lubricated with a high-grade lock cylinder grease at the factory. Vauxhall Lock Cylinder Grease prevents the locks from freezing up.

Only use de-icing agents in emergencies, as they have a degreasing effect and will impair the function of the locks. After using a de-icing agent, have the locks regreased by a workshop.

Eng ine compar tment

Areas of the engine compartment that are painted in the same colour as the vehicle must be looked after like any other painted surface.

It is advisable to wash the engine compartment before and after winter and preserve it with wax. Cover alternator and fluid reservoirs with plastic sheets before washing the engine.

When washing the engine with a steam-jet cleaner, do not direct the steam-jet a t components of the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), the air conditioning system or the belt drive and its components.

Protective wax that has been applied is also removed during the engine wash. For this reason, have the engine, brake system components in the engine compartment axle components with steering, body parts and cavities thoroughly preserved with protective wax after the wash.

An engine wash can be performed in the spring in order to remove dirt that has adhered to the engine compartment, which may also have a high salt content. Check protective ax layer and make good if necessary.

Underbody

Your vehicle has a factory-applied PVC undercoating in the wheel arches (including the longitudinal members) which provides permanent protection and needs no special maintenance. The surfaces of the vehicle underbody not covered by PVC are provided with a durable protective wax coating in critical areas.

On vehicles which are washed frequently in automatic car washes with underbody washing facility, the protective wax coating may be impaired by dirt-dissolving additives. Check the underbody after washing and have it waxed if necessary. Before the start of the cold weather season, check the PVC coating and protective wax coating and, if necessary, have them restored to perfect condition.

Caution – commercially a vailable bitumen / rubber materials can damage the PVC coating. We recommend that you have underbody work carried out by a workshop, who knows the prescribed materials and has experience in the use thereof.

The underbody should be washed following the end of the cold weather season to remove any dirt adhering to the underbody since this may also contain salt. Check protective wax coating and, if necessary, have it restored to perfect condition.

⊕Additional o perations.
● Under extreme operating conditions and if required by country-specific conditions, the intervals are reduced.

Additional servicing

Additional operations ⊕

Additional work is work that is not required every service but can be performed in conjunction with a regular service.

Time allowances for such work are not included in the scope of regular services and will be charged for additionally. It is more economic if these operations are performed as part of a scheduled service than having them performed separately.

Severe operating conditions ●

Operating conditions are classified as severe when one or more of the following occurs frequently:

■ cold starts,
■ stop and go,
■ trailer/caravan towing,
■ gradients and/or high altitudes,
■ poor road surfaces,
■ sand and dust,
■ extreme temperature fluctuations.

Police vehicles, taxis and driving school vehic les are also classified as operating under severe conditions.

Under severe operating conditions, it may be necessary to have certain scheduled service work done more frequently than the scheduled intervals.

For example, if fuel is used that t does not comply with required standards, the fuel filter may need more frequent draining or replacement and it may also be necessary to change other components more often (e.g. spark plugs).

It is recommended to seek technical advice on the servicing requirements dependent on the specific operating conditions of your vehicle.

Recommended fluids and lubricants

Only use products that have been tested and approved. Damage resulting from the use of non-approved materials will not be covered by the warranty.

⚠ Warning g

Operating materia is a re-hazardous and must be handled with the appropriate level of care. If consum ed, seek medical attention immediately. Do not inhale fumes and avoid skin contact. Keep out of reach of children. Do not allow operating materials to contam ina te the sewage system, surface water, ground water or soil. Disp ose of empty containers properly. Always bear in mind that operating materials are haz ardous to your health.

Checking and topping up fluids see page 187.

Engine oil

Engine oil is identified by its quality and also its viscosity. Quality is more important than viscosity when selecting with high engine oil to use.

Engine oil quality

Oil specifications

GM-LL-A-025: Petrol engines

GM-LL-B-025: Diesel engines without DPF

ACEA-C3: Diesel engines with DPF

GM General Motors Europe
LL Longlife
A or B	Engine oil quality specification
025	Validity ind ex

Vauxhall engine oil meets classifications GM-LL-A-025 and GM-LL-B-025 and is therefore suitable for both petrol and diesel engines.

Topping up engi ne oil

Oils of different manufa cturers and brands can be mixed as long as you comply with the specified engine oil criteria (quality and viscosity).

Not every engine oil a vailable on the market meets the quality requirements, always check the required specification and rating is marked on the container.

If engine oil of the required quality is not available, a maximum of 1 litre of ACEA A3 / B4 or A3 / B3 grade may be used (on ly once between each oil change). The viscosity should be of the correct rating.

Use of ACEA A1/B1 and A5/B5 engine oil is expressly forbidden, since they can cause long-term engine damage under certain operating conditions.

Engine oil a ddit ives

The use of engine oil additives could cause damage and invalida te the warranty.

Engine oil v iscosity

SAE 0W -3 0, 0W -40, 5W -30 or 5W -4 0.

SAE 0W-35, D W-40 SAE 0W-35, S W-40

S 17639

The SAE viscosity rating defines the ability of an oil to flow. When cold, oil is more viscous than when hot.

Multigrade oil is indicated by two figures. The first figure, followed by a W, indicates low temperature viscosity and the second figure the high temperature viscosity.

Coolant and anti-freeze

Use anti-freeze of recommended specification: silicate-free LLC (Long Life Coolant).

The system is factory-filled with coolant designed for frost protection down to approx. -28 °C. This concentration should be maintained all year-round.

Coolant additives intended to give additional corrosion protection or seal against minor leak s can cause function problems. Liability for consequences resulting from the use of coolant additives will be rejected.

Brake and clutch fluid

Only use DOT4 brake fluid.

⚠ Warning

Brake fluid is poisonous!

Over time, brake fluid absorbs moisture which will reduce braking effectiveness. The brake fluid should therefore be replaced at the specified interval.

Brake fluid should be stored in a sealed container to avoid water absorption.

Ensure it does not become containing with fluids containing mineral oil (oil, petrol, cleaner) as this can damage the seals and s le es of the b r a k e s y t e m.

⚠ Warning

Due to its corrosive nature, brake fluid must not come in contact with the paintwork. Flush a ny escaped brak e fluid with plenty of water.

Technical data212

Fuel consumption, CO_2 emissions

Directive 80/1268/EEC (last changed by 2004/3/EG) has applied for the measurement of fuel consumption since 1996.

The direct tive is oriented to actual driving practices: Urba n driving is rated at approx. 13 and extra-urban driving with approx. 23 (urban and extra-urban consumption). Cold starts and acceleration phases are also taken into consideration. The specification of CO_2 emission is also a constituent of the directive.

The figures given must not be taken as a guarantee for the actual fuel consumption of a particular vehicle.

All value are based on the EU base model with standard equipment.

The calculation of fuel consumption as specified by directive 2004/3/EG takes account of the vehicle's kerbweight, ascertained in accordance with these regulations. Optional extras may result in slightly higher fuel consumption and CO_2 emission levels than those quoted.

To convert l/100 km into mpg, divide 282 by number of litres/100 km.

Save fuel, protect the environment – see page 125.

Fuel consumption (approx. l/100 km), CO2 emission (approx. g/km)
Engine1)	Z 24 XE Z 20 DM H
Manual transmission / Automatic transmission
urban	13.3/-	8.7/10.9
extra-urban	7.3/-	6.8/ 7.3
total	9.6/-	7.6/ 8.6
CO2	229/-	198/238

Technical data214

Weights, payload and roof load

The payload is the difference between the permissible Gross Vehicle Weight (see vehic le identification plate on page 208) and the EC kerbweight.

To calculate the EC kerbweight, enter the data from your vehicle below:

■ Kerb weight from page 215 + .... . kg

■ We ight of heavy accessories + .... .... . kg

The total = .... . kg

is the EC kerbweight.

Optional equipment and accessories increase the kerbweight and in some cases also the permissible Gross Vehicle Weight, which means that the payload will also change slightly.

Note the weights given on the vehicle identification plate.

The combined total of front and rear axle loads must not exceed the permissible Gross Vehicle Weight. For example, if the front axle load is being fully utilized, the rear axle can only bear a load that is equal to the Gross Vehicle Weight minus the front axle load.

See the vehicle identification plate on page 208 or the vehicle documents for permissib le axle loads.

Roof load

The maximum permissible roof load is 100 kg.

The roof load is the combined weight of the roof rack and the load.

Driving hints - page 123.
