Tachometer

Making use of the tachometer helps to save fuel; it indicates the engine speed.

Warning zone on right: Maximum permissible engine speed exceeded, danger to engine.

If possible, drive in each gear in the low engine speed range (between approx. 2000 and 3000 rpm) and maintain an even vehicle speed.

Start-up limiter \*

To reduce the risk of engine damage on certain models, engine rpm will be limited when starting.

Speedometer

Indicates the vehicle speed.

Certain vehicle variants feature a speed regulator ^1) which restricts the vehicle's maximum speed. As a visible indication of this, a warning label is located on the instrument panel.

Vehicles with cruise control may feature a speed limiter ^*1) (which enables a variable maximum vehicle speed to be set) - see page 100.

1) Depending on driving environment (e.g. when descending steep inclines), the vehicle speed can exceed set limits. In such instances, it remains the driver's responsibility to adhere to the specific speed limits.

Three-stage restraint system

The system comprises

■ three-point seat belts

■ belt tensioners on the front seats ✱

■ airbag system for driver and front passenger *.

The three stages are activated in sequence depending on the seriousness of the accident:

■ 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 belts 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.

⚠ Warning

The airbag system serves to supplement the three-point seat belts. The seat belts must therefore always be worn.

Disregard of these notes can lead to injuries or endanger life. Vehicle passengers must be informed accordingly.

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

Seat belts

⚠ 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 - see page 49.

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

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.

Three-point seat belts

The vehicle is equipped with three-point seat belts with automatic retractors and locking devices, allowing freedom of body movement 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.

Illustration of a person adjusting a black belt with a yellow arrow indicating pressure (no text or symbols)

Using the belts

Fitting the belt

Pull the belt out from the retractor and guide it across the body, making certain that it is not twisted.

Insert the latch plate into the buckle. The seat backrest must not be tilted back too far; the recommended angle of inclination is approx. 25°. The lap belt must not be twisted and must fit snugly across the body. Tension the belt frequently whilst driving by tugging the diagonal part of the belt.

Close-up of a person's seatbelt being adjusted with a yellow arrow indicating the angle (no text or symbols present)

⚠ Warning

On pregnant women in particular the lap belt must be positioned as low as possible across the pelvis in order to prevent pressure on the abdomen.

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, keys, spectacles) because these could cause injury. Do not place any objects (e.g. handbags) between the belt and your body.

On certain models the centre seat belt can be a retractable lap type or three point seat belt. In both cases pull the belt out from the retractor and guide it across the body, making certain that it is not twisted. Insert the latch plate into the buckle.

Inspection of belts

Periodically inspect all parts of the belt system for damage and to make sure they are functioning properly. Have damaged parts replaced. After an accident, overstretched belts must be replaced by new ones. Consult a workshop.

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

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

Belt tensioners \*

The front seat belt system incorporates belt tensioners. In the event of a head-on or tail-end collision the belt buckles are pulled downwards; the diagonal and lap belts are instantaneously tightened.

Actuation of belt tensioners

If the belt tensioners have been actuated, they must be replaced. Consult a workshop.

⚠ Warning

The belt tensioners are operational only when the control indicator is unlit.

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

Belt tensioner control indicator

The seat belt tensioners are monitored electronically together with the airbags, and their operational readiness shown by the control indicator in the instrument cluster. When the ignition is switched on, the control indicator illuminates, then extinguishes. If it does not illuminate or if it illuminates during driving, there is a fault in the airbag system or the belt tensioners (see also page 53).

⚠ Warning

Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop.

The system's integral self-diagnosis facility allows faults to be quickly remedied. Have Car Pass to hand when consulting your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Important

■ Accessories not released for your vehicle type and other objects must not be affixed or placed in the area in which the belt tensioners operate, as they could cause injury when the belt tensioners are activated.

■ Do not make any modifications to the components of the belt tensioners, as this will render the vehicle unroadworthy.

Safety systems52

⚠ 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 area.
■ We recommend that you have the front seats removed by a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer in the event of actuation of the belt tensioners.
■ The belt tensioners only actuate once. Please replace belt tensioners that have been triggered. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
■ When disposing of the vehicle, please observe the applicable regulations. Please have the vehicle disposed of by a disposal company. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Airbag system

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

The airbag system comprises:

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

Top-down view of a car with a yellow arrow pointing to the side of the road (no text or symbols)

The airbag system is triggered:

■ depending on the severity of the accident
■ depending on the type of impact
■ within the range shown in the illustration.

Examples:

■ Impact against a non-yielding obstacle: the airbag is triggered at low vehicle speed.

■ Impact against a yielding obstacle (such as another vehicle): the airbag is only triggered at a higher vehicle speed.

When triggered, the driver's airbag and front passenger airbag * inflate in milliseconds and form safety cushions for the driver and front passenger. The forward movement of the driver and front passenger is checked and the risk of injuries to the upper body and head are thereby substantially reduced.

■ No impairment of view will occur, because the airbags inflate and deflate so quickly.

Warning

The front airbag system provides optimum protection when the seat, backrest and head restraint are correctly adjusted. Adjust the driver's seat according to the occupant's height such that with the driver sitting upright, the steering wheel is held in the area of its upper spokes with the driver's arms slightly bent. The passenger 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 any objects in the area in which the airbags inflate.

The three-point seat belt must be correctly fitted (see page 49).

The 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

Seat belts must therefore always be worn. The airbag system serves to supplement the three-point seat belts. If you do not wear your seat belt you risk being seriously injured, or even thrown from the vehicle, in the event of an accident.

The belt helps to keep you in the correct seating position, in which the airbag system will provide you with effective protection in the event of an accident.

When the ignition is switched on, the control indicator illuminates then extinguishes. If it does not illuminate, or if it illuminates during driving, there is a fault in the airbag system.

The system might not be triggered in the event of an accident.

⚠ Warning

Have the airbag system checked without delay. We recommend you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Safety systems54

The system's integral self-diagnosis facility allows faults to be quickly remedied. Have your Car Pass ready to hand when consulting your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Important

■ 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 airbag is triggered.
■ Do not place any objects between the airbag systems and the vehicle occupants; danger of injury.
■ Do not stick or place anything on the steering wheel, and instrument panel.
■ 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 and instrument panel. Aggressive cleaning agents may cause damage.
■ The airbags only actuate once. Please replace airbags that have been triggered. Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop.
■ 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 make any modifications to the components of the airbag system as this will render the vehicle unroadworthy.

⚠ Warning

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

■ We recommend having the steering wheel, the instrument panel and the front seats removed by your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
■ When disposing of the vehicle, please observe the applicable safety regulations. Please have the vehicle disposed of by a disposal company. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

⚠ Warning

Child restraint systems as well as other heavy objects must never be carried on the lap of passengers; risk of fatal injury.

AIRBAG

(71187

Use of child restraint systems * on front passenger seat in vehicles with with airbag systems *

Warning

Vehicles with front passenger airbag * Rear-facing child restraints must not be fitted on the front passenger seat, danger of fatal injury.

Forward-facing child restraints can be fitted on the front passenger seat provided that the latter is moved as far back as it will go.

Vehicles with front passenger airbag can be can be identified by the word "Airbag" above the glove compartment and the warning sticker on the side of the instrument panel, visible when passenger door is open.

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 impact. The use of a Vauxhall child restraint system is therefore recommended.

⚠ Warning

Disregard of these instructions 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. It is appropriate to change the system when the child's head can no longer be properly supported at eye height. The child's cervical vertebrae are still very weak and in an accident they suffer less stress in the semi-prone rearward position than when sitting upright.

Safety systems56

Note

■ Children under 12 years or under 150 cm tall should only travel in an appropriate child safety seat.
■ When transporting children, use the child restraint systems suitable for the child's weight.
■ Ensure that the child restraint system to be installed is compatible with the vehicle type.
■ The covers of the Vauxhall child restraint system can be wiped clean.
■ Do not stick anything on the child restraint systems and do not cover them with any other materials.
■ A child restraint system which has been subjected to stress in an accident must be replaced.
■ Ensure that the mounting location of the child restraint system within the vehicle is correct.
■ You should also observe the instructions on installation and use supplied with the child restraint system.

Air conditioning system \*

The air conditioning system is designed to operate in conjunction with the heating and ventilation system to provide maximum comfort under any weather conditions.

The air conditioning system cools the air and removes moisture from it. It is operational only in temperatures above approx. +4 °C, with the engine running and with the fan switched on:

Press AC = on

Press AC again = off

Once activated the air conditioning system is operated via the normal heating and ventilation controls.

To improve efficiency of the air conditioning, always close the windows to prevent chilled air from escaping.

Switching on the air conditioning will assist in windscreen demisting.

In very hot temperatures, before switching on the air conditioning, allow hot air to escape from the vehicle by opening the windows.

When the system is switched on, at least one air vent must be open so that the evaporator does not ice up due to lack of air movement.

When the air conditioning is on, fuel consumption increases. Switch off the system whenever it is not required.

Maintenance

To ensure efficient performance of the air conditioning system, it must be switched on once a month for a short time, irrespective of the weather and time of year (possible only when outside temperature is above +4 °C).

Malfunctions in the system must not be rectified by the owner; consult a workshop.

Tecshift operation

The selector lever needs to be moved in the appropriate direction only slightly. It then returns to the centre position. Observe the gear / mode indicator in the transmission display.

Selecting neutral

Move the selector lever towards N.

Automatic mode

When the engine is started, Tecshift is in Automatic mode "A" is shown in the transmission display.

To engage 1st gear depress footbrake and move selector lever towards +.

The vehicle will begin to "creep" when the footbrake is released without accelerating.

It is possible to start-off quickly by releasing the footbrake and accelerating.

In Automatic mode the transmission shifts to other gears automatically dependent on driving conditions.

Manual mode

Manual gearshifting is possible in Manual mode. If the vehicle is in Automatic mode, Manual mode can be selected by moving the selector lever towards A/M. The current gear will appear in the transmission display.

To engage 1st gear depress footbrake and move selector lever towards + or - and 1 will appear in the transmission display.

Moving selector lever toward:

+ Shifts to a higher gear.

- Shifts to a lower gear.

If the engine speed is too low Tecshift will automatically shift to a lower gear even in Manual mode. This prevents the engine from stalling.

If a higher gear is selected when the running speed is too low, or a lower gear when the speed is too high, no shift is effected. This prevents the engine from running at too low or too high revs.

Gears can be skipped by moving the selector lever repeatedly at short intervals.

Kickdown

Accelerator pedal pressed past the pressure point: below certain speeds, the transmission shifts down into a lower gear. Full engine power is available for acceleration.

When the engine speed approaches its upper limit, the transmission shifts to a higher gear during kickdown even in Manual mode.

Without kickdown this automatic shift is not affected in Manual mode.

Engine braking assistance

Automatic mode

When driving downhill Tecshift does not shift into the higher gears until a fairly high engine speed has been reached. During braking Tecshift shifts down to a lower gear in good time.

Manual mode

To utilize the engine braking effect, select a lower gear in good time when driving downhill.

Tecshift84

Stopping the vehicle

In Automatic or Manual mode, once the vehicle is stationary first gear engages automatically and the clutch opens. In R, reverse remains engaged.

When stopping on gradients engage handbrake or depress brake pedal. To prevent overheating of the clutch, an intermittent, audible warning may sound as a signal to depress the footbrake or apply the handbrake.

Switch off engine if stopping for a lengthy period, e.g. in traffic jams.

Parking

Before leaving the vehicle:

■ engage handbrake,
■ remove ignition key.

The most recently engaged gear (indicator in transmission display) remains engaged. With N, no gear is engaged.

When the ignition is switched off Tecshift no longer responds to movements of the selector lever.

If the ignition is not switched off, or the handbrake has not been applied, an intermittent audible warning will sound upon opening the driver's door.

Rocking the vehicle

If it becomes necessary to rock the vehicle to free it from sand, mud, snow or a hole, move the selector lever between R and A (or + or -) in a repeat pattern while applying light pressure to the accelerator pedal. Do not race the engine and avoid sudden acceleration.

This applies only in exceptional circumstances mentioned above.

Manoeuvring the vehicle

To manoeuvre the vehicle back and forth during attempts to park or in garage entrances, the creeping movement can be utilized by releasing the footbrake.

Never actuate the accelerator and brake pedals simultaneously.

In order to protect Tecshift at extremely high clutch temperatures, an intermittent audible warning will sound. In such cases depress the footbrake, select "N" and apply the handbrake allowing the clutch to cool down.

N° S 14350

Fault

If a fault occurs in Tecshift, control indicator will be shown in the transmission display.

You can continue driving, provided you drive with care and anticipation. Consult a workshop to have the cause of the fault eliminated by a workshop. The system's integral self-diagnosis facility allows faults to be quickly remedied.

Interruption of power supply

The clutch is not disengaged if the vehicle battery is discharged and a gear has been selected. The vehicle cannot move.

If the battery is flat, start the vehicle using jump leads - see page 116.

If the cause of the interruption to the power supply is not a discharged battery, consult a workshop. We recommend your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

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.

The information concerns the engine and parts of the power train, e.g. the final drive.

Never coast with engine not running

Many units will then not function (e.g. turn signals, 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 pedal has been depressed once or twice. The braking effect is not reduced but substantially greater foot pressure is necessary to stop the vehicle.

Power steering

Never leave the steering wheel on full lock when the vehicle is stationary as this may damage the power steering pump.

If the power steering should fail - e.g. when 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 caravan / trailer

Electrically driven fan: The fan cooling capacity is not dependant 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 with a roof load

Do not exceed the permissible roof load. For safety reasons, distribute the load evenly and secure it tightly with straps so that it cannot slip. Set the tyre inflation 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.

Switching off the engine

If the engine temperature is very high, e.g. after driving in mountainous terrain: allow the engine to idle for approximately two minutes in order to prevent heat accumulation.

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

Vehicles with turbocharged engine

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 in order to protect the turbocharger.

Save energy – more miles / 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

Drive in a low engine speed range for each gear as much as possible.

Warming up

Run the engine warm, do not allow it to "tick over" when started from cold. Speed should be moderate until the engine has reached operating temperature.

After a cold start, Tecshift * do not shift into higher gears until higher engine speeds have been reached. This allows the catalytic converter to quickly reach the temperature required for optimum pollutant reduction.

Correct gear selection

Transmission in neutral and without revving in the lower gears. Stop-and-go traffic and driving at a speed too high for the selected gear or transmission ratio increases 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 mats in the area of the pedals.

When driving do not use the 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.

Battery care whilst driving

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, heated seats).

Declutch when starting in order to relieve the strain on the starter and battery.

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 helps 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.

Materials 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-life vehicle recovery

Drive in an energy and environment-conscious way

■ High fuel consumption, noise levels and exhaust emission are often caused by a driving style that is not energy and environment-conscious.
■ You should therefore drive with energy in mind: "more miles with less fuel".

Reduce the noise level and exhaust emissions by adopting an environment-conscious driving style. This is extremely worthwhile and improves the 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 any irregularities causing increased fuel consumption.

Warming up

■ Full throttle and warming up at idle speed increase wear, fuel consumption, fuel emission, the amount 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 exhaust.
■ 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 roads with good traffic flow.

Idling

■ The engine also consumes fuel when idling.
If you have to wait for more than one minute, it is worthwhile switching off the engine. Five minutes of idling corresponds to approx. 0.6 miles (1 km) of driving.

Overrun

■ The fuel supply is automatically shut off during overrun, e.g. when the vehicle is being driven down long gradients or during braking - see page 87
■ 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 tachometer saves fuel. If possible, drive at low revs in each gear and at constant speed. Drive in top gear as much as possible, shift up as soon as possible and do not shift down until the engine is no longer running truly.

High speed

■ The faster the speed, the higher the 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 maximum speed and you will use up to 50% less fuel, without losing a great deal of time.

Tyre inflation pressure

■ Inadequate tyre inflation 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.

Electrical loads

■ 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 approximately 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 environmental laws by 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.

Extreme driving conditions

■ Driving up steep gradients, cornering, driving on poor roads, and winter driving all increase fuel consumption.
Fuel consumption increases 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 consumption to a minimum under such conditions.

Fuel consumption, fuel, refuelling

Fuel consumption 90

Fuel for diesel engines.... 90

Refuelling.... 91

Fuel cut-off device ✦ 91

Fuel consumption

Fuel consumption is determined under specific driving conditions.

Fitting special equipment will increase the weight of the vehicle. This in turn increases fuel consumption and reduces the specified maximum speed of the vehicle.

For the first few thousand miles / kilometres, friction between the engine and transmission components is higher. This increases fuel consumption.

Fuel for diesel 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 according to DIN EN 590 must 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.

Diesel fuels with improved low temperature properties are therefore available 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.

Refuelling

⚠ Warning

Care must be taken when handling fuel. Before refuelling, switch off the engine and any external heaters with combustion chambers (identified by a sticker on the tank flap). Switch off mobile phones.

Fuel is flammable and explosive. Therefore, avoid naked flames and sparks when handling or in the vicinity of fuel. Do not smoke! This also applies in places where fuel can only be detected by its characteristic smell. If you can smell fuel in the vehicle, have the cause thereof remedied immediately by a workshop.

Close-up of a diesel car with visible brand logo and S 11950 model (no text or symbols on the car itself)

Correct filling depends to a large extent on proper operation of the fuel dispensing pump:

1. Fully insert the pump nozzle and switch it on.
2. After the automatic cut-off, the nominal capacity of the tank can be obtained by topping up with two doses of fuel. Make sure the nozzle is fully inserted.

To close the filler cap, refit it and rotate it clockwise against resistance until the filler cap ratchet audibly clicks.

Wipe off any overflowing fuel immediately.

Fuel cut-off device \*

If the vehicle is involved in a collision, the fuel cut-off device automatically isolates the fuel supply.

Prior to restarting first check:

■ that the vehicle is driveable
■ there is no smell of fuel
■ fuel is not leaking

To restart the fuel supply, reset the cut-off device by pressing down the button.

Control indicator ◄ for engine electronics

Illuminates for a few seconds when ignition is switched on.

If the control indicator 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 driveability of the vehicle may be affected. In some cases the fault can be eliminated by switching the engine off and back on again. If the control indicator illuminates again when the engine is running, consult a workshop to have the cause of the fault eliminated by a workshop.

Diesel particle filter \*

Even during normal use, there is still a possibility that the diesel particle filter may become partially blocked. The filter is automatically cleaned under certain driving conditions, however when control indicator ⚫ is illuminated, the diesel particle filter requires driver-induced regeneration ^1) .

⚠ Warning

Before attempting regeneration of the diesel particle filter, ensure road conditions will allow the vehicle to safely travel at speeds in excess of approx. 40 mph (60 km/h) for up to 20 minutes.

To carry out regeneration ^1) :

With the engine at normal operating temperature, maintain an average speed of approx. 40 mph (60 km/h) until control indicator 📄 goes out. In some cases this can take up to 20 minutes.

Failing to achieve these speeds or an interruption to your journey may prevent regeneration taking place. The regeneration process will then need to be restarted.

If control indicator fails to extinguish or illuminates in conjunction with, consult a workshop to have the cause of the fault eliminated.

0030 74 STOP S 14352

Engine oil life monitor \*

If control indicator 📋 illuminates and control indicator 🔍 flashes continuously in the display, the engine oil has become oxidized.

If the engine oil has become diluted, control indicator will illuminate in conjunction with control indicator. In either case it is necessary to carry out an engine oil and oil filter change and to reset the engine oil life monitor.

Make an appointment with a workshop for service work as soon as possible. We recommend your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Exhaust gases

Warning

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

If exhaust fumes penetrate the vehicle interior, open the windows and 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. Avoid inhaling.

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 systems permit 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 your Service Booklet.

Drive Control Systems

Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) \*

The ESP (Electronic Stability Programme) * improves driving stability when necessary, independently of the type of road surface and the tyre grip. It also includes the Traction Control system function.

The system monitors vehicle movements. As soon as the vehicle starts to swerve (understeers / oversteers) engine output is reduced (the sound of the engine changes) and individual wheels are specifically braked. This considerably improves the driving stability of the vehicle on slippery road surfaces.

The ESP is ready for operation as soon as the ignition is switched on and the control indicator ♦ goes out.

When the ESP comes into action, flashes. The vehicle is now in a critical situation; the ESP assists 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 feature tempt you into taking risks when driving. Traffic safety can only be achieved by adopting a responsible driving style.

Parking distance sensors \*

The parking distance sensors make reverse parking easier by measuring the distance between the rear of the vehicle and an obstacle through ultrasonic reflection and warning you with an acoustic signal in the passenger compartment.

The system records the distance using sensors in the rear bumper.

The parking distance sensors are automatically enabled when the ignition is switched on and reverse gear is selected. Readiness for operation is indicated by brief acoustic alarm.

As the vehicle slowly gets close to an object while reversing, an intermittent acoustic signal is audible in the passenger compartment.

The interval between the signals becomes shorter as the distance is reduced. If the distance is less than 25 cm, a continuous signal is audible.

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. For this reason, 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.

The system registers the distance by means of sensors on the rear bumper. To ensure that the sensors function correctly and that the information provided is accurate, they must be undamaged and free of dirt, snow and ice.

Should the parking distance sensors fail to operate, consult a workshop.

If towing equipment is required for your vehicle, we recommend contacting your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Wear of the brake linings must not exceed a certain limit. Regular maintenance as detailed in the Service Booklet is therefore of the utmost importance for traffic safety.

Have worn brake pads replaced. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who will fit parts that have been tested and approved by Vauxhall and guarantee optimum braking power.

Brakes104

Footbrake

The braking system comprises two separate, brake circuits. If one brake circuit should fail, the vehicle can still be stopped 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. Before continuing your journey, consult a workshop.

In order to utilise the full pedal travel - particularly in the event of a brake circuit fault - there must be no mats in the area of the pedals.

With the engine stopped the servo assistance is discontinued after the brake pedal has been depressed once or twice. The braking action will not be reduced but greater pedal 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 starting each journey the effectiveness of the brake system should be tested at low speed without inconveniencing other traffic, especially if the brakes are wet, e.g. after the vehicle has been washed.

The brake fluid level should be checked regularly. If the brake fluid level is too low and the handbrake is not applied, control indicator (①) in the instrument cluster illuminates - see page 20.

Mechanical tool with a yellow arrow indicating downward motion, no visible text or symbols

Handbrake

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

The mechanical handbrake acts on the brakes on the rear wheels. It engages automatically when applied.

To release the handbrake pull the lever up slightly, press the ratchet knob, and fully lower the lever.

STOP

S 12444

Control indicator (①) for brake system Control indicator illuminates when ignition is switched on if handbrake is applied and/or fluid level for brake system is too low. Brake fluid level - see page 142.

Warning

If the control indicator illuminates when the handbrake is not applied: stop vehicle; interrupt your journey immediately. Consult a workshop.

ABS (ABS)

The ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) continuously 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 steerable, even in the event of very heavy braking, for instance on bends 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 braking, keep the brake pedal fully depressed throughout the braking process, despite the fact that the pedal is pulsating. Do not reduce the pressure on the pedal.

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.

x100 min-1 S 12763

Control indicator (ABS) for ABS

When the ignition is switched on, the ABS control indicator illuminates. At the same time, the system performs a self-check which may be audible. When the control indicator goes out the system is ready for operation.

If the control indicator does not go out after a few seconds, or if it illuminates during driving, there is a fault in the ABS. The vehicle's brake system remains operational without ABS regulation.

⚠ Warning

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

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

Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop. The system's integrated self-diagnostics allows faults to be quickly remedied.

Tyres

See page 159 for suitable tyres and restrictions.

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

Changing tyre / wheel type

Before switching to different tyres or wheels, seek advice on technical possibilities. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who will be able to advise you of any necessary modifications.

⚠ Warning

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

Fitting new tyres

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.

⚠ Warning

We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer to have the tyres replaced. Your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer knows the legal regulations concerning the disposal of tyres and therefore protects the environment and your health.

Tyre inflation pressure

Check tyre inflation pressures, including the spare wheel, at least every 14 days and prior to any long journey. The tyres should be checked when cold. Don't forget to check the spare.

Tyre inflation pressures - see page 159.

Illustration of a car tire with a yellow cable being inserted, held by a hand (no text or symbols)

Increased pressure resulting from tyre warm-up must not be reduced, otherwise the pressure may drop below the permissible minimum.

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

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

⚠ Warning

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

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

Close-up of a car tire mounted on a surface with a yellow X mark indicating a collision or repair point (no text or symbols present)

Tyre condition, wheel condition

Driving over sharp edges can lead to hidden tyre damage and wheel damage which is only noticed later on: there is a 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 depth

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.

TW 17216 T

For safety reasons, tyres should be replaced when their tread depth has worn down to 2-3 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 around the tyre within the tread. Their position is indicated by markings on the tyre sidewall.

General information

Note that the danger of aquaplaning is greater if the tyres are worn.

Tyres age, even if they are used only very little or not at all. A spare 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.

Tyre designations

Meanings:

e.g. 195/65 R 16 C

195 = Tyre width in mm

65 = Aspect ratio in % (tyre height to tyre width in %)

R = Belt type: Radial

16 = Rim diameter in inches

C = Cargo or Commercial use

Close-up of a car tire with a metallic rim and central hub (no text or symbols visible)

Winter tyres \*

See page 159 for restrictions.

M+S tyres improve safety at temperatures below 7 °C and should therefore be fitted on all wheels.

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

If the maximum permissible 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) .

1) Varies from country to country on account of national regulations.

If you use winter tyres *, the spare wheel may still be fitted with a summer tyre. If you use the spare wheel the vehicle's handling may be altered. Obtain a replacement for the faulty tyre as soon as possible, and have the wheel balanced and fitted to the vehicle.

Two car tire components with yellow decorative border, no visible text or symbols

Tyre chains \*

See page 159 for restrictions.

Tyre chains may be used only on the drive wheels (front axle). They must be fitted symmetrically on the tyre to ensure that they are seated concentrically.

Only fine-linked chains - not protruding more than 15 mm on the tyre tread and inboard sides (including chain lock) - as recommended by Vauxhall may be used.

Wheel covers on steel wheels may come into contact with parts of the chains. In such cases, remove the wheel covers.

Tyre chains may only be used at speeds up to 30 mph (50 km/h) and, when travelling on roads that are 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.

Roof racks \*

For safety reasons and to avoid damaging the roof, we recommend the Vauxhall roof rack system. Your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer will be happy to advise you.

Driving hints - see page 86.

Towing equipment \*

We recommend that towing equipment be installed by a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who can inform you about possible increases in the caravan / trailer load. Your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer will also be in possession of specifications concerning installation as well as any necessary modifications to the vehicle regarding the cooling system or other features.

Mounting dimensions of towing equipment see page 165.

Caravan / trailer loads ^1)

The permissible caravan / trailer loads are vehicle-dependent and engine-dependent maximum values which must not be exceeded. 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 documents ^2) . Unless otherwise stated, they are valid for gradients up to max. 12%.

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

In higher elevations the engine output and gradability may drop so that it may not be possible for the permissible caravan / trailer loads to be fully utilized in mountainous territory.

1) Observe national regulations.
2) Gross Combination Weight - see page 152.

Coupling 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, stated on the label, 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. Particularly important for caravan / trailer with tandem axle.

Rear axle load during towing

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

Diagram of a car tire with a yellow cable being inserted, showing mechanical components (no text or symbols)

Tyre inflation pressure

Increase the tyre inflation pressure on the towing vehicle to the value given for full load (see page 159). 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.

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 damp rolling motions.

Roof rack, caravan and trailer towing114

Genuine Vauxhall Parts and Accessories which can be subsequently fitted aid trailer operation, e.g. large mirrors for wide caravan / trailer.

In the case of caravan / trailer with low directional stability, it is advisable to use a stabilizer to damp rolling motions.

Do not drive faster than 50 mph (80 km/h) if possible, even in countries where higher speeds are permitted.

Make sure that you have enough room when cornering and avoid sudden manoeuvres.

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

Electrically driven fan: The fan cooling capacity is not dependant 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.

Starting the engine with jump leads \*

A vehicle with a discharged battery can be started using jump leads and the battery of another vehicle. Attempts to start the vehicle should be made at intervals of one minute and should not last longer than 15 seconds.

⚠ Warning

This must be done with extreme care. Any deviation from the following instructions could lead to personal injury or damage resulting from battery explosion, as well as to damage to the electrical systems in both vehicles.

■ Never expose the battery to naked flames or sparks.
■ A discharged battery can freeze at temperatures as low as 0 °C. Defrost the battery before connecting the jump leads.
■ Do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin, fabrics or painted surfaces. The fluid contains sulphuric acid which can cause injuries and damage in the event of direct contact.
■ Wear eye protection and protective clothing when handling a battery.
■ Use auxiliary battery with same voltage (12 volts). Its capacity (Ah) must not be considerably less than that of the discharged battery. Voltage and capacity information can be found on the batteries.
■ Use jump leads with insulated terminals and a width of at least 25 mm ^4 .

■ Do not disconnect the discharged battery from the vehicle.
■ Switch off all unnecessary electrical consumers.
■ Do not lean over the battery during jump starting.
■ Do not allow the terminals of one lead to touch those of the other lead.
■ Do not touch the vehicles while jump starting.
■ Apply handbrake. Transmission in neutral (Tecshift * in N).
■ Do not connect leads to negative terminal of discharged battery!
■ The connection point should be as far away from the discharged battery as possible.

■ Route the leads so that they cannot catch on rotating parts in the engine compartment.
■ Start the engine of the vehicle providing the jump start.
■ After 5 minutes, start the other engine. Start attempts should be made at intervals of 1 minute and should not last longer than 15 seconds.
■ After starting, allow both engines to idle for approx. 3 minutes with the leads connected.
In order to avoid excess voltage in the electrical system, before removing a lead, switch on an electrical consumer (e.g. light, heated rear window *) in the vehicle receiving the jump start.
■ Reverse above sequence exactly when removing leads.

Bulb replacement

Before replacing a bulb, turn off the respective light switch. Only hold new bulb at base! Do not touch the bulb glass with bare hands, as otherwise fingerprints on the glass evaporate. Residue builds up on the reflector eventually resulting in a dull reflector. Inadvertently stained bulbs may be cleaned with a clean non-fluffy 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 your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who will have special equipment.

On vehicles with headlight range adjustment, carry out headlight aiming with switch in position 0.

In order to guarantee economical and safe vehicle operation and to maintain the value of your vehicle it is of vital importance that all maintenance work is carried out at the proper intervals as specified by Vauxhall in the Service Booklet. Time or mileage / kilometre intervals - whichever is reached first - determine when your vehicle is due for its next service.

In the case of low mileage / kilometre accumulation with frequent cold starts or predominantly urban traffic and stop-and-go traffic, an additional engine oil and filter change is recommended.

You will find the Service Booklet in the literature pack.

Have service work and repair work to body and equipment carried out by professionals. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. Your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer has excellent knowledge of Vauxhall vehicles, and has the special tools and the latest Vauxhall Service Instructions. It is particularly advisable to use a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer during the warranty period to avoid loss of warranty claims. See Service Booklet for additional information.

Separate anti-perforation service

Have this performed regularly, either within the scope of a Service or separately, see Service Booklet. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer in order to avoid loss of warranty claims for repair.

S 11814

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 thermoswitch and can therefore start to operate unexpectedly 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 expansion tank cap, the lid of the fluid container for the windscreen wash system and the handle of the oil dipstick may be coloured yellow.

Medical implant components including a white plastic sheet and two metallic surgical pins (no text or symbols visible)

\$ 12002

Oil filler funnel

To assist in topping up the engine oil the vehicle is supplied with an oil filler funnel to prevent the unnecessary spillage of oil.

The oil filler funnel is located beneath the driver's seat. After use, ensure the items are cleaned and stowed beneath the driver's seat.

Further information - see page 139.

Engine oil

Information on engine oils is available in the Service Booklet.

Engine oil level

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 changes.

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.

Engine oil level check and topping up The oil level must be checked with the vehicle horizontal and with the engine (which must be at operating temperature) switched off. Wait approximately 15 minutes before checking the level to allow the normal oil accumulation in the engine to drain back into the oil pan.

⚠ Warning

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

A B G9T /G9U S 12003

The illustrations show checking and replenishing the oil in the respective diesel engines.

To check the level remove the oil gauge (dipstick), wipe it clean and re-insert it as far as it will go. Top up if the oil level has dropped to the "add oil" mark A.

The oil level must not go above the upper mark B on the dipstick. This would lead, for example, to increased oil consumption and excessive formation of carbon residue.

Diagram of a yellow robotic arm inside a vehicle gear assembly (no text or symbols)

When replenishing, attempt to use the same type of oil as used at the last oil change. Use the oil filler funnel supplied to ensure oil is poured into the engine to avoid unnecessary spillages.

Capacities - see page 160.

If consumption exceeds more than 0.5 litre every 600 miles (1000 km) after this running-in period, consult a workshop.

A stabilization of the oil consumption will not take place until the vehicle has been driven several thousand miles. Only then can the actual degree of consumption be established.

Oil change, oil filter change

Engine oil changes are to be carried out depending on time intervals or mileage 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 oil filters and empty oil cans do not belong in the domestic garbage. We recommend having oil changes and oil filter changes carried out by a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. The Vauxhall Authorised Repairer knows the laws concerning the disposal of used oil and therefore protects the environment and your health.

Mechanical assembly diagram showing a cylindrical component with yellow connectors and piping (no text or symbols)

Diesel fuel filter

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

Place a container underneath the filter housing. Loosen the knurled screws on the filter cover and on the lower part of filter by approx. one turn to drain off the water.

The filter is drained as soon as diesel emerges from the knurled screw at the bottom. Retighten the two screws.

General information

Check filter at shorter intervals in the case of extreme operating conditions such as poor quality fuel, high humidity (primarily in coastal areas), extremely high or low outside temperatures and substantially varying daytime and night-time temperatures.

Mechanical component diagram showing a cylindrical shaft with yellow highlight and a knob, next to a mechanical bracket (no text or symbols)

Engine airflow indicator \*

On certain models, an indicator is located in the engine induction system and indicates if the air-intake to the engine is restricted.

Clear = No restriction

Red tell-tale = Restricted

If the red tell-tale is displayed when the engine is running, consult a workshop.

Coolant

During operation the system is pressurized. The temperature may therefore rise to over 100 °C.

The anti-freeze provides excellent corrosion protection for the cooling and heating system, as well as freeze protection down to -30 °C.

Certain types of anti-freeze can lead to engine damage. Make sure that you are informed! We therefore recommend the use of anti-freeze that has been approved by Vauxhall.

⚠ Warning

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

We recommend that the coolant is changed by your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer who will be familiar with the requirements of the law as regards disposal of coolant and can thus help to protect the environment and your health.

Illustration of a hand pouring liquid into a container with a dropper (no text or symbols)

Freeze protection 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 up to approx. -30 °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 water, have anti-freeze concentration checked and more anti-freeze added as necessary.

Hand holding a mechanical component next to a plastic tank (no text or symbols visible)

Coolant 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 slightly above the MIN mark when the system is cold. It rises at engine operating temperature and drops again when the engine cools down. If the level falls below the MIN mark, the coolant should be replenished to a little over the mark.

⚠ Warning

Allow engine to cool down before removing coolant filler cap. Remove filler cap carefully so that pressure can escape slowly, otherwise there is a risk of scalding.

Top up anti-freeze. If no anti-freeze is available, top up with clean tap water. If tap water is unavailable, distilled water can be used.

After topping up with tap or distilled water, have the anti-freeze concentration checked, and anti-freeze added if necessary. Have the cause of the coolant loss remedied by a workshop.

When closing, tighten coolant filler cap as far as it will go.

Coolant temperature

For physical reasons, the engine temperature gauge shows the coolant temperature only if the coolant level is adequate.

During operation the system is pressurized. The temperature may therefore rise to over 100 °C.

If the temperature gauge enters the upper zone, check the coolant level immediately.

■ Coolant level too low:

Top up coolant. Pay strict attention to the instructions given under "Anti-freeze and corrosion protection" and "Coolant level". Have the cause of 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, fabrics or painted surfaces. Direct contact may cause injuries and damage.

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

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

Extreme cleanliness is important, since brake fluid contamination can lead to brake system malfunctions.

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 impair the braking effect may occur during braking.

The fluid change intervals specified in the Service Booklet must therefore be observed.

Warning

We recommend that you have brake fluid changed by a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, 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 windscreen wiper to ensure it is operating correctly. We recommend wiper blade replacement at least once a year.

If the windscreen is dirty, operate the windscreen wash system before switching on the windscreen wiper. This will avoid wiper blade wear.

Do not switch on the windscreen wiper if the windscreen is iced up as this could damage the wiper blades 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, cracked or covered with silicone must be replaced. This may be necessary as a result of the effects of ice, thawing salt or heat, or the incorrect use of cleaning agents.

Close-up of a car door handle with a yellow arrow pointing to the keyhole (no text or symbols visible)

To ensure proper operation of the rain sensor *, the sensor area must be free from dust, dirt and ice.

The windscreen wash system must also be operated at regular intervals and the sensor area must be de-iced. Vehicles with rain sensor can be identified by the sensor area near the top of the windscreen.

Diagram of a mechanical component with a yellow arrow pointing to a vertical shaft (no text or symbols present)

To replace wiper blade, first lift wiper arm and detach wash pipe from spray nozzle. Move release lever and detach wiper blade.

Windscreen and headlight \* wash system

The filler opening of the fluid container for the windscreen and headlight wash system is located on the front left-hand side - as seen from the front of the engine compartment.

Fill only with clean water to prevent the nozzles from clogging. To improve cleaning efficiency, we recommend that you add a little Vauxhall Windscreen Wash Solvent.

The windscreen wash system will not freeze in winter:

Freeze protection down to	Mixture - Vauxhall Windscreen Wash Solvent : Water
-5°C 1:3
-10°C 1:2
-20°C 1:1
-30°C 2:1

When closing the container, press the lid firmly over the beaded edge.

Battery

Battery access

The battery is located beneath the front centre floor panel. Lift the floor covering and use the tool supplied in the tool kit to loosen 4 screws. Remove cover plate.

Warning

Ensure adequate ventilation when charging the battery. There is a risk of explosion if gases generated during charging are allowed to accumulate!

S 11829

Battery maintenance \*

If the battery installed to your vehicle is not maintenance free:

Remove battery caps and ensure electrolyte level is 15 mm above the plates. Add distilled or demineralised water to correct the level.

If battery fluid level drops below the plates, do not attempt to test or recharge the battery or jump start the engine.

⚠ Warning

We recommend that you have battery changes carried out by a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. The Vauxhall Authorised Repairer knows the laws concerning the disposal of used batteries and therefore protects the environment and your health.

Electrical or electronic accessories fitted at a later stage can place an additional load on the battery or discharge the battery. Consult a workshop. We recommend a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, as regards technical possibilities, such as fitting a more powerful battery.

Leaving the vehicle parked for more than four weeks may lead to the battery being discharged. This could shorten the service life of the battery. The battery should, therefore, be disconnected by disengaging the negative terminal from the vehicle. After the battery has been connected, you must reset the time in the information display.

Battery terminal connection

Note: when connecting the battery cables to the terminals, ensure they are aligned correctly, and in position with the protective cover.

\$ 11814

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 disconnected (e.g. when using jump leads).

The battery must be disconnected from the vehicle before being charged: first disconnect the negative cable and then the positive cable. The polarity of the battery, i.e. the connections for the positive and negative cables, must not be interchanged. When reconnecting, first connect the positive cable and then the negative cable.

To avoid damaging 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 / to 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 your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer for advice.

Vehicle care

Consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer with regard to care aids tested and recommended by Vauxhall.

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.

Vehicle care aids \*

Vehicle wash:

Car Shampoo

■ Sponges

■ Chamois Leather

■ Wheel Cleaners

■ Engine Cleaners

■ Glass Cleaners

Exterior care:

■ Touch-up Paints

■ Car Polishes / Colour Restorers

■ Car Waxes / Sealers

■ Rust Preventative

■ Lubricant Sprays

■ De-icer Sprays

■ Windscreen Wash Solvent

Interior care:

■ Interior / Upholstery Cleaner

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 immediately, as they contain aggressive constituents which can cause paint damage.

If using a car wash, comply with the pertinent instructions of the car wash manufacturer. The windscreen wiper or the automatic wiper with rain sensor * must be switched off – see page 12. Remove the detachable rod antenna.

If you wash your vehicle by hand, use Car Shampoo. Make sure that the insides of the wings are also thoroughly rinsed out.

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 leathers for paint and window surfaces: remnants of wax on the windows will impair vision.

Waxing

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

Never let things deteriorate this far. Waxing prevents harmful chemical action.

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

Polishing

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

Polish with Silicone forms a protective film, making waxing unnecessary.

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

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

Wheels

Wheels are painted and can be treated with the same agents as the body. For alloy wheels we recommend use of Alloy Wheel Cleaner.

Paint damage

Minor paint damage such as stone chips, scratches etc. should be treated immediately with Vauxhall Touch-Up Paint or Aerosol before corrosion can form. If corrosion has already formed, consult a workshop. Do not forget the surfaces and edges nearest to the road where rust may also form unnoticed.

Exterior lights

If the light covers 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 rubber parts

For additional cleaning of plastic and rubber parts use Cleaner. 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 trim, including the instrument panel using cleaner.

Clean fabric upholstery with a vacuum cleaner and brush. For removal of stains use cleaner, which is suitable for both fabrics and vinyl.

For cleaning fabrics, carpets and also the instrument panel in the vehicle interior, do not use cleaning agents such as acetone, carbon tetrachloride, paint thinner, paint remover, nail varnish remover, washing powder or bleach. Petrol is also unsuitable.

Seat belts

Always keep seat belts clean and dry.

Clean only with lukewarm water or Cleaner.

Windows

When cleaning ensure that the heating element on the heated rear window is not damaged.

Use a soft fluff-free cloth or chamois leather in conjunction with Window Cleaning Spray.

Vauxhall Windscreen Wash Solvent is suitable for de-icing windows.

For mechanical removal of ice, use a commercially 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

Smearing wiper blades should be cleaned with a soft cloth and Vauxhall Windscreen Wash Solvent, and replaced if necessary.

Locks

The locks are lubricated before they leave the factory with a high-grade lock cylinder grease. Vauxhall lock cylinder grease prevents the locks from freezing up. Use de-icing agents only in emergencies, as they have a degreasing effect and will impair the functioning of the locks. After using de-icing agents regrease the locks.

Engine compartment

Important areas of the engine compartment have been provided with permanent protection at the factory in the form of a high-quality, smooth protective lacquer coating. Parts of the engine compartment lacquered in the same colour as the vehicle's paintwork can be treated in the same way as all painted surfaces. Wash engine only if absolutely necessary. Before washing the engine, protect alternator and brake fluid container with plastic covers.

When washing the engine with a steam-jet cleaner, do not direct the steam-jet at ABS components, the air conditioning system * or the belt drive and its components.

When the engine is washed, subsequently applied protective wax is also removed. After washing, the engine as well as parts of the brake system, axle components (with steering) and body parts and cavities should therefore be thoroughly coated with Protective Wax by a workshop.

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 underside not covered by PVC are provided with a durable protective wax coating.

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

Caution: commercial bitumen and rubber materials can damage the PVC coating. We recommend having all the work on the underbody performed by a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, as it requires knowledge of the specified materials and experience concerning their application.

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.

156 Technical data

Weights, payload and roof load

The payload is the difference between the permissible Gross Vehicle Weight and the EC kerbweight.

The combined total of front and rear axle loads (see vehicle identification plate) must not exceed the permissible Gross Vehicle Weight, i.e. if the front axle load is being fully utilized, the rear axle load must not be such that the permissible Gross Vehicle Weight is exceeded.

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.

Roof loads must not be carried on maxi-roof variants. For standard or high roof variants, the maximum permissible roof load (which includes the weight of the roof rack) is 300 kg.

The maximum load on the Vauxhall full length roof rack system is 202 kg for short wheelbase models, 195 kg for medium wheelbase models and 188 kg for long wheelbase models.

Driving hints – see page 86.
