Airbag system

The airbag system consists of several separate systems.

Front airbag system

The front airbag system will be triggered in the event of a serious accident involving a frontal impact and forms 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 thereby substantially reduced.

Close-up of a yellow mechanical component with a black handle, shown in 3D style (no text or symbols visible)

Side airbag system

The side airbag is triggered in the event of a side-on collision to form a safety cushion for the driver or front passenger in the respective door area. This substantially reduces the risk of injury to the upper body and pelvis.

Three-stage safety system

Comprising:

■ three-point seat belts,
■ belt tensioners at the seats,
■ airbag systems for driver and front passenger.

The three stages are activated in sequence depending on the severity 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 seat belts are pulled down at the belt buckles. This means the belts fit snugly, the occupants are decelerated early with the vehicle and the body loading is reduced.

■ The airbag systems are also triggered in the event of severe accidents and form a safety cushion for the occupants.

⚠ Warning

The airbag systems serve to supplement the three-point seat belts and belt tensioners. The seat belts must therefore always be worn. Disregard of these instructions may lead to injuries or endanger life. Vehicle passengers should be informed accordingly.

Always follow the instructions provided with the child restraint system!

Interior view of a car showing a person seated in a seatbelt, no visible text or symbols

Three-point seat belts

The seat belts have an automatic retractor, so that the belt is spring tensioned and always lies against the body.

Information on correct seat position ➔ 45.

The seat belts are locked during heavy acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle. This prevents the belt from extending, keeping the occupant in their seat.

⚠ Warning

Fasten your seat belt before each trip. In the event of an accident, persons not wearing seat belts endanger their fellow occupants and themselves.

Seat belt control indicator ✦ ✦ 66.

Seat belts are designed to be used by only one person at a time. They are not suitable for anyone under 12 years of age or under 150 cm tall.

For children up to 12 years of age, we recommend the Vauxhall child restraint system ➔ 53.

Testing the seat belts

Check all parts of the belt system periodically for damage and function. Replace damaged components. After an accident, have the seat belts and triggered belt tensioners replaced by a workshop.

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

50 Seats, Interior

Belt tensioners

The seat belts are pulled down at the buckles on a front or rear impact above a certain severity. This tightens the belts.

The function of the belt tensioners and airbag systems is monitored electronically and indicated by the control indicator. When the ignition is switched on, the control indicator illuminates for approx.

4 seconds. If it does not illuminate, or if it does not go out after 4 seconds, or if it illuminates whilst driving, there is a fault in the belt tensioner or airbag systems ◇ 58. The systems might not trigger in the event of an accident.

Deployment of the belt tensioners is indicated by continuous illumination of ⚠.

⚠ Warning

Have the cause of the fault eliminated by a workshop immediately.

Self-diagnosis integrated into the system allows rapid fault identification.

Important

■ Do not affix or place accessories or other objects within the deployment zone of the belt tensioners. Do not make any modifications to belt tensioner components as this will invalidate the vehicle type approval.

⚠ Warning

Incorrect handling (e.g. removal or fitting of seat belts or belt buckles) can trigger the belt tensioners with 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 workshop in the event of triggering of the airbags and belt tensioners.
■ The belt tensioners trigger once only, indicated by the continuous illumination of the control indicator. Have a workshop replace triggered belt tensioners.
■ When disposing of the vehicle, the safety instructions given for this must be observed. Take the vehicle to a recycling company for disposal.

Child restraint systems \*

Follow the usage instructions for the child restraint system.

Always comply with local or national regulations. In some countries, the use of child restraint systems is forbidden on certain seats.

Selecting the right system

Your child should travel facing backwards in the vehicle for as long as possible. A child has a very weak cervical spinal column and in the event of an accident is less likely to suffer injury in a rearward-facing, semi-lying position than if seated upright.

⚠ Warning

Never carry child restraint systems on your lap, risk of fatal injury.

Vehicles with seat occupancy recognition can also be identified from the sticker on the passenger seat.

Vauxhall child restraint systems with transponders * are automatically detected if correctly fitted to the front passenger seat. The front and side airbag systems for the front passenger seat are deactivated when these child restraint systems are used. It is essential to observe the seat occupancy recognition * control indicator 58.

⚠ Warning

Only Vauxhall child restraint systems with transponders * should be fitted on the front passenger seats. Use of systems without transponders poses a risk of fatal injury.

Vauxhall child restraint systems with transponders * can be identified by a sticker or badge.

Control indicator 📁 for Vauxhall child restraint systems with transponders * The presence of a Vauxhall child restraint system with transponders * is indicated after the ignition has been switched on by continuous illumination of the control indicator 📁 in the courtesy lamp, as soon as the seat occupancy recognition system has detected the child restraint system.

If the control indicator does not illuminate during driving, the front and side airbags for the front seat passenger are not deactivated and there is a risk of fatal injury to the child. Have a workshop eliminate the cause of the fault.

If the child restraint system is not correctly installed or the transponders are defective, the turn signal lamp will flash. Check for correct child restraint system installation. For installation of child restraint system with transponders * - see instructions provided with child restraint system.

60 Seats, Interior

If the control indicator flashes when the child restraint system with transponders is correctly fitted, there is a fault and a danger to the child. Have the cause of the fault eliminated by a workshop.

If no Vauxhall child restraint system with transponders ✦ is fitted, the control indicator must not illuminate or flash as the passenger airbag systems would not deploy. Have the cause of the fault eliminated by a workshop.

⚠ Warning

If the Vauxhall child restraint system with transponders has been fitted according to the instructions, the control indicator for Vauxhall restraint systems with transponders must illuminate in the courtesy lamp when the ignition is switched on.

If the control indicator does not illuminate during driving, the front passenger airbag systems are not deactivated and there is a risk of fatal injury. Have a workshop eliminate the cause of the fault.

Important

■ Owing to the risk of injury when the airbags deploy, accessories and objects must not be placed within the expansion range of the airbag systems.

■ Do not place any objects between the airbag systems and the vehicle occupants; danger of injury.

⚠ Warning

Never carry child restraint systems or other objects on your lap - risk of fatal injury.

■ 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.

- Do not stick anything on the steering wheel, instrument panel, seat backrests or roof frame in the vicinity of the airbags, or on the front passenger's seat cushion, or cover any of those areas with other materials.

■ Use only a dry cloth or interior cleaner to clean the steering wheel, instrument panel, seat backrests and seat cushion of the front passenger seat. Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents.
■ Only protective covers which are approved for your vehicle with side airbag may be fitted on the seats. When fitting the protective covers, make sure that the airbag units on the outboard sides of the seat backrests are not covered.
■ The airbag systems are triggered independently of one another depending on the severity of the accident and type of impact.
■ Each airbag deploys once only. Have a workshop replace deployed airbags immediately.
■ 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 alterations on the components of the airbag system, as this would render the vehicle unroadworthy.

⚠ Warning

If handled improperly the airbag systems can be triggered in an explosive manner – risk of injury!

■ We recommend entrusting removal of the steering wheel, the instrument panel, all panelling parts and the seats to a workshop in the event of triggering of the airbags and belt tensioners.
■ When disposing of the vehicle, the safety instructions given for this must be observed. Take the vehicle to a recycling company for disposal.

In vehicles with seat occupancy recognition * persons weighing less than 35 kg must not be transported. This does not apply to children that are being transported in child restraint systems with transponders *.
In vehicles with seat occupancy recognition *, do not place any heavy objects on the front passenger seat otherwise the airbag systems for the front passenger seat may be triggered in the event of an accident.
In vehicles with seat occupancy recognition *, to prevent malfunctions do not use protective covers or seat cushions on the front passenger seat.

■ When using a Vauxhall child restraint system with transponders * on the front passenger seat, in order to prevent malfunctions, no objects (e.g. plastic sheet, stickers or heated mats) may be placed under the child restraint system.

⚠ Warning

Passengers must never carry child restraint systems and other objects on their laps. If carried in this way, child restraint systems with transponders * in vehicles with seat occupancy recognition * could prevent the front passenger airbag systems from being triggered in the event of an accident.

Switch between Automatic and Manual mode.

In Manual mode, gears can be selected manually by moving the selector lever to + or -. The current gear is indicated in the transmission display.

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

Selector lever in + or -

• Shift to a higher gear.
• Shift to a lower gear.

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 jogging the selector lever repeatedly at short intervals.

When the vehicle is in Automatic mode, the Easytronic shifts to Manual mode when the selector lever is set to position + or -. The transmission display shows the currently selected gear.

Selector lever in R

Reverse gear. Engage only when vehicle is stationary.

Press button on selector lever, select R. The transmission display shows "R".

If R is selected when the vehicle is in motion, "R" flashes in the transmission display and no gear is engaged.

Stopping the vehicle

In Automatic and Manual mode, when the vehicle has stopped, first gear (second gear with Winter programme engaged) is engaged automatically and the clutch is disengaged. In R, reverse gear remains engaged.

If a warning signal sounds when the driver's door is opened (footbrake not depressed), move the selector lever to N and apply the handbrake.

When stopping on gradients, apply the handbrake or depress the brake pedal. To prevent overheating of the clutch, do not increase engine speed to ensure smooth idling when in gear.

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

Electronically controlled driving programmes in automatic mode

■ The operating temperature programme increases the engine speed after a cold start to bring the catalytic converter to the required temperature quickly.
■ Adaptive programmes automatically adapt gear selection to suit the driving conditions, such as if the vehicle has a high payload, or is being driven on inclines.

Kickdown

If the accelerator pedal is pressed past the pressure point, the transmission shifts to a lower gear, depending on engine speed.

During kickdown, no manual gearshifting is possible.

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 effected in Manual mode.

Engine braking

Automatic mode:

When driving downhill, the Easytronic does not shift into higher gears until a fairly high engine speed has been reached. When braking, it shifts down in good time.

Manual mode:

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

"Rocking" the vehicle

Only if it becomes necessary to rock the vehicle to free it from sand, mud, snow or a hole, move the selector lever between ● (centre position) and R in a repeat pattern. Do not race the engine and avoid sudden acceleration.

104 Driving and Operation

Manoeuvring the vehicle

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

Never actuate accelerator and brake pedals simultaneously.

In order to prevent damage, the Easytronic disengages the "creep function" at extremely high automatic clutch temperatures.

Vehicle storage

Apply handbrake and remove ignition key. The most recently engaged gear (indicated in transmission display) remains engaged. With N, no gear is engaged.

When the ignition is switched off, the Easytronic no longer responds to movement of the selector lever.

If the ignition key is not removed, the battery may be discharged if the vehicle is then left to stand for a lengthy period of time.

If the handbrake has not been applied, the control indicator (①) flashes in the instrument cluster for a few seconds after the ignition is switched off.

Fault

To prevent damage to the Easytronic, the clutch is engaged automatically at high clutch temperatures.

Control indicator ⬆ illuminates in the event of a fault. Continued driving is possible. Manual mode can no longer be used for shifting.

If "F" also appears in the transmission display, it is not possible to continue driving.

Have the cause of the fault eliminated by a workshop. The self-diagnosis integrated into the system allows rapid fault identification.

105Driving

1. Clean transmission around the cap (see Fig. 16435 S) so that no dirt can get into the opening when the cap is removed.
2. Rotate cap to slacken and remove by lifting upwards - see Fig. 16435 S.
3. Turn the adjusting screw clockwise using a flat-head screwdriver (vehicle tools 3 133) until clear resistance can be felt. The clutch has now been disengaged.

Caution

Do not turn beyond the resistance, since this can damage the Easytronic.

1. Fit cleaned cap again. The cap must be in full contact with the housing.

Caution

Towing the vehicle and starting the engine is not permitted when the clutch has been disengaged in this way, although the vehicle can be moved a short distance.

Contact a workshop immediately.

Manual transmission

To engage reverse, with the vehicle stationary, depress the clutch pedal, wait 3 seconds, then raise ring under gearshift lever and engage gear.

If the gear does not engage, set the lever in neutral, release the clutch pedal and depress again; then repeat gear selection.

Do not grind the clutch unnecessarily.

When operating, depress the clutch pedal completely. Do not use the pedal as a foot rest (increases clutch wear).

Interruption of power supply

The clutch is not disengaged if there is an interruption of the power supply when a gear is engaged. The vehicle cannot move.

If the battery is discharged, start the vehicle using jump leads 3 127.

If the cause is not a discharged battery, contact a workshop. If the vehicle must be removed from moving traffic, disengage the clutch:

1. Apply handbrake and switch off ignition.
2. Open bonnet and engage support.

106 Driving and Operation

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 approx. ^3/_4 of the available pedal travel in all gears.

Do not drive faster than three quarters of maximum speed.

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

During the first drive, smoke may develop because of wax and oil evaporating off the exhaust system. Park the vehicle in the open for a while after the first drive and avoid inhaling the fumes.

Fuel and engine oil consumption is higher than normal during the running-in period.

Never coast with engine not running

Many units will not function in this situation (e.g. brake servo unit, electric power-assisted steering). Driving in this manner is a danger to yourself and others.

Brake servo unit

When the engine is not running, the brake servo unit is no longer effective once the brake pedal has been depressed once or twice. Braking effect is not reduced, but significantly greater force is required for braking.

Electric power-assisted steering

If the electric power-assisted steering fails when being towed with the engine switched off, the vehicle can still be steered, but considerably more force is required.

Driving in mountainous terrain

The cooling fan is electrically operated. Its cooling power is therefore independent of the engine speed.

Since a considerable amount of heat is generated at high engine speeds and less at slower speeds, do not shift down when climbing hills whilst the vehicle is still coping with the gradient in the higher gear.

Switching off the engine

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

If the engine temperature is very high, e.g. after driving in mountainous terrain: Allow the engine to idle for approx. 2 minutes, in order to prevent heat accumulation.

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

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

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

Overrun cut-off

The fuel supply is automatically cut-off during overrun, e.g. when the vehicle is driven with a gear engaged but the accelerator pedal is not depressed. Overrun cut-off is deactivated if catalytic converter temperature is high.

Vehicles with turbocharged engine Flow-generated noises may be audible if the accelerator is released quickly, on account of air flow in the turbocharger.

Engine speed

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

Warming up

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

After a cold start, the Easytronic * does not shift to higher gears until the speed increases when it is in Automatic mode. This allows the catalytic converter to quickly reach the temperature that is required for optimum emission reduction.

Correct gear selection

Do not race your engine whilst in neutral or with a low gear selected. Driving too fast in individual gears as well as stop-and-go traffic increases 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.

Cooling fan

The cooling fan is controlled via a thermoswitch and therefore only runs if necessary.

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

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).

Depress clutch pedal when starting, in order to relieve the strain on the starter and the battery.

Saving fuel, protecting the environment

Trend-setting technology

In the development and manufacture of your vehicle, environment-friendly and in the main recyclable materials were used. 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

For detailed information on Vauxhall's ongoing commitment to achieving an environmentally sustainable future, including; design for recycling, take back of End-of-Life Vehicle (ELVs) and the recycling of ELVs, view www.Vauxhall.co.uk/recycling for details.

Energy and environment-conscious driving

■ High noise levels and exhaust emissions are often a result of driving without due attention to saving energy and protecting the environment.

■ You should therefore drive with energy in mind "more miles – 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 172.

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, exhaust 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 exhaust emissions, the proportion of pollutant in the exhaust gas and the noise level.

■ Do not accelerate and brake unnecessarily. Drive at uniform speed, watching the road.

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 cut-off during overrun, e.g. when the vehicle is being driven down long gradients or when braking 109.
■ To enable the overrun cut-off to come into action and save fuel, do not accelerate or depress clutch pedal during overrun.

Correct gear selection

■ High revs increase engine wear and fuel consumption.
■ Do not race your engine. Avoid driving at high engine speeds.

Making use of the tachometer helps to save fuel. Drive in a low engine speed range for each gear as much as possible with uniform engine speeds. Drive as often as possible in top gear, select the next higher gear as soon as possible, and only change down when the engine is no longer running perfectly smoothly.

High speed

■ The higher the speed, the higher the consumption and the noise level. At top speed, you consume a great deal of fuel and produce excessive noise and exhaust emissions.
■ Slightly releasing the accelerator pedal results in distinct fuel savings with no major loss of speed.

Drive at no more than approx. three quarters of maximum 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.

Electrical loads

■ The power consumption of electrical equipment increases fuel consumption.
■ Switch off all auxiliary electrical loads (e.g. air conditioning *, heated rear window) when not needed.

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 repair and maintenance be entrusted to your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Extreme driving conditions

■ Going up steep slopes, 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, refuelling

Fuel consumption

Fuel consumption is determined under specific driving conditions 172.

Special equipment increases the weight of the vehicle. As a result, they can increase fuel consumption and reduce the specified maximum speed.

There is increased friction between engine and transmission parts during the first 600 miles (1000 kilometres). This increases fuel consumption.

Fuel for petrol engines

Only use unleaded fuel that complies with DIN EN 228.

Fuels with ethanol content greater than 5% may only be used if the vehicle has been specifically developed and approved for these fuels.

Use fuel with the recommended octane rating (value in bold 170). Use of fuel with too low an octane rating can reduce engine power and torque and slightly increases fuel consumption.

Caution

Use of fuel with too low an octane rating could lead to uncontrolled combustion and engine damage.

Fuel for diesel engines

Only use diesel fuel that complies with DIN EN 590. The fuel must have low sulphur content (maximum 50 ppm).

Since January 2004, some oil companies have mixed their diesel fuel with upto 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.

Fuel filler cap

Only a Vauxhall genuine fuel filler cap provides full functionality. Diesel-engined vehicles have special fuel filler caps.

Refuelling

⚠ Warning

Before refuelling, switch off engine and external heaters with combustion chambers. Switch mobile phones off. Follow the operating and safety instructions of the filling station when refuelling.

Close-up of a car's internal components with highlighted yellow zones, shown in two views (no text or symbols)

⚠ Warning

Fuel is flammable and explosive. No smoking. No naked flames or sparks. If you can smell fuel in your vehicle, have the cause of this rectified immediately by a workshop.

Fuel filler neck at right rear side of vehicle. The tank flap is unlocked with the doors 23.

Open the tank flap.

Unscrew fuel filler cap to open and suspend from tank flap.

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

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

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

To close, position the fuel filler cap and rotate past the resistance until the cap audibly clicks over the retainer.

Close tank flap.

Caution

Wipe off any overflowing fuel immediately.

112 Driving and Operation

Catalytic converter, engine emissions

Catalytic converter

The catalytic converter reduces the amount of harmful substances in the exhaust gas, such as carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (CH) and nitrous oxide (NO _x ).

Fuel grades other than those listed on page 110 (e.g. LRP = Lead Replacement Petrol or leaded fuel) could damage the catalytic converter or electronic components.

Caution

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

In the event of misfiring, uneven engine running, a clear reduction in engine performance or other unusual problems, have the cause of the fault rectified by a workshop as soon as possible. In an emergency, driving can be continued for a short period, keeping vehicle speed and engine speed low.

This does not apply when the Electronic Stability Programme (ESP® Plus*) kicks in 114.

■ If unburned fuel enters the catalytic converter of a petrol engine, this may result in overheating and irreparable damage to the catalytic converter.

You should therefore avoid unnecessarily long use of the starter when starting off, running the tank dry and starting the engine by pushing or towing.

Front view of a silver car with visible license plate and yellow warning tag (no text or symbols on the car body)

Controlling exhaust emission

Some of the damaging substances in the exhaust such as carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC) and nitrous oxides (NO_x) are reduced to a minimum by making structural changes - mainly in the injection system and the ignition system in conjunction with the catalytic converter.

Control indicator 📄 for exhaust Illuminates when the ignition is switched on and during the start attempt. Goes off shortly after the engine starts running.

Illuminated with the engine running indicates a fault in the exhaust gas cleaning system. The permitted emissions may be exceeded. Contact a workshop immediately.

Flashing with the engine running indicates a fault which could lead to catalytic converter damage. You may continue driving without damage if you slow down until flashing stops and the control indicator comes on. Contact a workshop immediately.

15897 S 80 100 C x1000 min⁻¹

Control indicator for engine electronics Comes on for a few seconds after the ignition is turned on.

If it illuminates when the engine is running, there is a fault in engine or transmission electronics. The electronic system switches to an emergency running programme. Fuel consumption may be increased and the driveability of the vehicle may be impaired.

In some cases, faults can be eliminated by switching off the engine and restarting. If the control indicator comes on again when the engine is running, contact a workshop to eliminate the cause of the fault.

If it illuminates briefly, but does not recur, it is of no significance.

Illumination of control indicator 📋 can indicate water in the diesel fuel filter. Check fuel filter for possible water residue ➔ 162.

If it flashes after the ignition is switched on, there is a fault in the immobiliser system. The engine cannot be started 21.

114 Driving and Operation

Engine exhaust Maintenance

⚠ Warning

Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide, which is colourless and odourless and could be fatal if inhaled.

If exhaust gases penetrate the vehicle interior, open a window and contact a workshop.

Have all maintenance work carried out at the intervals specified. 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 included in service inspections. For this reason, you should have all maintenance work carried out at the intervals specified in the chapter "Service and Maintenance" 152.

Drive control systems

Electronic Stability Programme (ESP®Plus)*

ESP® Plus improves driving stability when necessary in any driving situation, regardless of the type of road surface or tyre grip. It also prevents the drive wheels from spinning.

As soon as the vehicle starts to swerve (understeer/oversteer), engine output is reduced and the wheels are braked individually. This considerably improves the driving stability of the vehicle on slippery road surfaces.

ESP®Plus is ready for operation as soon as the ignition is switched on and control indicator ⚠ goes out.

When ESP® Plus comes into action, flashes.

The vehicle is now in a critical situation; ESP®Plus allows 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.

Adapt speed to the road conditions.

Control indicator

The control indicator illuminates for a few seconds after the ignition is turned on. The system is ready for operation when the control indicator goes out.

Flashing during driving:

This shows the system has come into action. The engine output may be reduced (the sound of the engine changes) and the vehicle may be braked automatically to a small degree.

Illuminates while driving:

Fault in the system. Driving can be continued. Poor road surface conditions may however still cause vehicle stability to be impaired.

Have the cause of the fault eliminated by a workshop. The self-diagnosis integrated into the system allows rapid fault identification.

Control indicator ⚡ may illuminate when the temporary spare wheel is in use. The system is then deactivated.

Illuminates after interruption of power supply e.g. after disconnecting battery. After a power supply interruption the steering angle sensor must be calibrated to make the system operational:

■ Automatic calibration by driving in straight line at constant slow speed, i.e. 12 to 25 mph (20 to 40 km/h), on a level, dry road,

■ Manual calibration by turning steering wheel from limit position to limit position.

If the control indicator does not go off after successful calibration, observe notes in previous column.

116 Driving and Operation

Cruise control \*

Cruise control can store and maintain speeds of approx. 20 to 125 mph (30 to 200 km/h). Deviation from the stored speed is possible on uphill or downhill inclines.

For safety reasons, the cruise control cannot be activated until the footbrake has been depressed once.

The cruise control is operated with the buttons I, R and O on the turn signal stalk.

Do not use the 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 Easytronic *, only use cruise control when in automatic mode.

⚠ Warning

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

Close-up of a black and yellow electronic device with a coiled cable, no visible text or symbols

To activate

Tap button I: the current speed is stored and maintained. The accelerator pedal can be released.

Vehicle speed can be increased by depressing the accelerator pedal. When the accelerator pedal is released, the previously stored speed is resumed.

Increase

With cruise control active, hold down button I or briefly press it repeatedly: speed is increased continuously or in steps of 1.2 mph (2 km/h).

The current speed is stored and saved after button I has been released.

Decelerate

With cruise control active, hold down button R or briefly press it repeatedly: speed is reduced continuously or in steps of 1.2 mph (2 km/h).

The current speed is stored and saved after button R has been released.

To deactivate

Briefly press the O button: cruise control is deactivated.

Automatic deactivation if:

■ the vehicle's speed drops below approx. 20 mph (30 km/h), or
■ the brake pedal is depressed,
■ the clutch pedal is depressed *,
■ selector lever with Easytronic ✱ is in N.

Stored speed

The speed is saved until the ignition is switched off.

To resume the saved speed, briefly press button R at a speed above 20 mph (30 km/h).

118 Driving and Operation

Ultrasonic parking sensors \*

Parking distance sensors make reverse parking easier by measuring the distance between the rear of the vehicle and obstacles behind it. It is the driver, however, who maintains full responsibility for parking.

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

To activate

The parking distance sensors are activated automatically when the ignition is switched on and reverse gear is engaged.

Operational readiness is indicated by a brief tone.

If the vehicle approaches an obstacle, a series of acoustic signals sound. The interval between the signals becomes shorter as the vehicle gets closer to the obstacle. When the distance is less than 30 cm, the signal is continuous.

Front view of a car with visible license plate 'TIGRA' and license number 18322 S (no other text or symbols)

⚠ 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.

To deactivate

The system deactivates automatically when reverse gear is disengaged.

Fault

In the event of system faults, a permanent tone sounds at a distance of 1 metre from the obstacle. Have the cause of the fault eliminated by a workshop.

In order to avoid operational problems or erroneous information, the sensors must be undamaged and free of soiling, snow and ice.

Close-up of three kitchen utensils with a yellow handle, no visible text or symbols

Hydraulic brake system

The brake system comprises two independent brake circuits.

If one brake circuit faults, the vehicle can still be braked with the other brake circuit. However the braking effect will occur at a lower pedal position and considerably more force is required. The braking distance will be extended. Contact a workshop before continuing to drive.

To ensure the full pedal travel can be utilised, especially in case of a fault in one of the brake circuits, there must be no mats in the vicinity of the pedals 107.

When the engine is not running, the assistance of the brake servo unit disappears once the brake pedal has been depressed once or twice. Braking effect is not reduced, but braking requires significantly greater force. This is especially important to bear in mind when towing.

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) illuminates in the instrument cluster 70.

⚠ Warning

If the control indicator comes on when the handbrake is released, stop driving immediately. Contact a workshop.

For vehicles with Easytronic *, the control indicator flashes for a few seconds when the ignition is turned off if the handbrake is not applied.

120 Driving and Operation

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS (ABS))

ABS prevents the wheels from locking.

ABS starts to regulate brake pressure as soon as a wheel shows a tendency to lock. The vehicle remains steerable, even during hard braking.

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

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.

Control indicator (ABS) for ABS

It comes on for a few seconds after the ignition is turned on. The system is ready for operation when the control indicator goes out.

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

Self-check

When the engine is started and the vehicle starts off, the system performs a self-check, which may be audible.

Fault

⚠ Warning

If there is a fault in the ABS, the wheels may be liable to lock due to braking that is heavier than normal. The advantages of ABS are no longer available. During hard braking, the vehicle can no longer be steered and may swerve.

Have the cause of the fault eliminated by a workshop. The self-diagnosis integrated into the system allows rapid fault identification.

Close-up of a fuel nozzle assembly with a yellow arrow indicating direction (no text or symbols)

Handbrake

Always apply handbrake firmly without operating the release button, and apply as firmly as possible on a downhill or uphill slope.

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

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

Brake assist

If the brake pedal is operated with a fast, powerful push, the vehicle is automatically braked at full braking power in order to achieve the shortest possible braking distance when full-on braking occurs (brake assist).

Maintain steady pressure on the brake pedal for as long as full-on braking is to continue. When the brake pedal is released, the maximum brake force amplification is taken away.

Wheels, tyres

Suitable tyres and restrictions 176.

Tyres fitted in the factory are adapted to the chassis and provide optimum driving comfort and safety.

Changing tyre/wheel type

If tyres of a different size than those fitted at the factory are used, it may be necessary to reprogramme the electronic speedometer and make other vehicle modifications.

⚠ Warning

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

122 Driving and Operation

Fitting new tyres

Fit tyres in pairs or in sets, which is even better. Ensure that tyres on one 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 opposing the rolling direction (such as when changing a tyre) should be refitted as soon as possible. This is the only way to benefit fully from the design properties of the tyre.

When disposing of tyres, follow the legal requirements.

Close-up of a white electronic device casing with visible ports and mounting holes (no text or symbols)

Tyre pressure

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 spare *.

Tyre pressures ↩ 176.

The tyre pressure data is for cold tyres. It applies to both summer and winter tyres.

Do not reduce tyre pressure when the tyres are warm. Otherwise the pressure may drop below the permissible minimum when the tyres cool down.

Screw on the valve cap after checking pressure.

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

Illustration of a car tire being inserted into a container with yellow components (no text or symbols)

⚠ 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.

Tyre condition, wheel condition

Drive over edges slowly and at right angles if possible. Driving over sharp edges can cause tyre and wheel damage. Do not trap tyres on the kerb when parking.

Regularly check the wheels for damage. Seek the assistance of a workshop in the event of damage or unusual wear.

Close-up of a car tire with yellow markings and black lacing (no visible text or symbols)

Tread depth

Check tread depth regularly.

For reasons of safety, tyres should be replaced when their tread depth has worn down to 2 to 3 mm (winter tyres: 4 mm).

The legally permissible minimum tread depth (1.6 mm) has been reached when the tread has worn down as far as one of the tread wear indicators (TWI ^1 ). A number of tread 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

■ The risk of aquaplaning is greater if the tyres are worn.
■ Tyres age, even if they are used little or not at all. We recommend tyre replacement at the latest every 6 years.
■ Never fit used tyres the previous history and use of which you do not know.

T = up to 118 mph (190 km/h)
H = up to 130 mph (210 km/h)
V = up to 150 mph (240 km/h)
W = up to 168 mph (270 km/h)

Winter tyres \*

Notes on fitting new tyres 122.

Restrictions ↩ 176.

Winter tyres (M + S tyres) improve driving 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.

In accordance with country-specific regulations, affix the speed sticker * in the driver's field of view.

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.

Wheel trims \*

Use wheel trims and tyres that are approved by Vauxhall for the vehicle in question and therefore meet all the requirements pertaining to the respective wheel/tyre combination.

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

Wheel trims must not impair brake cooling.

Remove the wheel trims if fitting tyre chains *.

⚠ Warning

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

Two black tire tires with yellow mesh patterns, no visible text or symbols

Tyre chains ✿

Restrictions and further notes ↗ 176.

Tyre chains are only permitted on the drive wheels (front axle). They must be fitted to the tyres symmetrically in order to achieve a concentric fit.

Always use fine mesh chains that add no more than 10 mm to the tyre tread and the inboard sides (including chain lock).

Remove the wheel trims if using tyre chains.

Tyre chains may only be used at speeds up to 30 mph (50 km/h). They must only be used for brief periods on roads that are free of snow.

⚠ Warning

Damage may lead to tyre blowout.

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 on the rear axle and transfer one of the rear wheels to the front axle.

Vehicle care

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

Regular, thorough care helps to improve the appearance of your vehicle and maintain its value over the years. It is also a prerequisite for warranty claims for any paint or corrosion damage. The following pages contain tips for vehicle care which, if used properly, will help combat the unavoidable damaging effects of the environment.

Washing

The paintwork of your vehicle is exposed to environmental influences. Wash and wax your vehicle regularly. When using automatic car washes, select a programme that 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.

When using a car wash, follow the instructions of the car wash manufacturer. Switch off windscreen wipers. Unscrew antenna rod *.

If you wash your vehicle by hand, 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.

Polishing and waxing

Wax the vehicle regularly (at the latest when water no longer forms beads on the paintwork). Otherwise, the paintwork will dry out.

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.

Wheels and tyres

Do not use high-pressure jet cleaners.

Clean wheels with a pH-neutral wheel cleaner.

Wheels are painted and can be treated with the same agents as the body.

Paintwork damage

Rectify minor paintwork damage with a touch-up pen before rust forms. Have more extensive damage or rust areas repaired by a workshop.

Exterior lamps

Headlamp and other lamp covers are made of plastic. Do not use any abrasive agents, do not use an ice scraper, and do not clean them dry.

Plastic and rubber parts

Plastic and rubber parts can be cleaned with the same cleaner as used to clean the body. Use interior cleaner if necessary. Do not use any other agent. Avoid solvents and petrol in particular. Do not use high-pressure jet cleaners.

Interior and upholstery

Only clean the vehicle interior, including the instrument panel facia and panelling, with a dry cloth or interior cleaner.

The instrument panel should only be cleaned using a soft damp cloth.

Clean fabric upholstery with a vacuum cleaner and brush. Remove stains with an upholstery cleaner.

Clean seat belts with lukewarm water or interior cleaner.

Caution

Close Velcro fasteners as open Velcro fasteners on clothing could damage seat upholstery.

Windows and windscreen wiper blades Use a soft lint-free cloth or chamois leather together with window cleaner and insect remover.

When cleaning the rear window, make sure the heating element inside the window is not damaged.

For mechanical removal of ice, use a sharp-edged ice scraper. Press the scraper firmly against the glass so that no dirt can get under it and scratch the glass.

Clean smearing wiper blades with a soft cloth and window cleaner.

Locks

The locks are lubricated at the factory using a high quality lock cylinder grease. Use de-icing agent only where absolutely necessary, as this removes grease and impairs lock function. After using de-icing agent, have the locks regreased by a workshop.

Engine compartment

Clean painted surfaces in the engine compartment like any other painted surface.

It is advisable to wash the engine compartment before and after winter and preserve it with wax. Before engine washing, cover alternator and brake fluid reservoir with plastic sheeting.

When washing the engine with a steam-jet cleaner, do not direct the steam jet at components of the Anti-lock Braking System *, the automatic air conditioning system * or the belt drive and its components.

After an engine wash, have all engine room components preserved thoroughly by a workshop using protective wax.

Do not use high-pressure jet cleaners.

Underbody

Some areas of the vehicle underbody have a PVC undercoating while other critical areas have a durable protective wax coating.

After the underbody is washed, check the underbody and have more protective wax applied if necessary.

Bitumen/rubber materials could damage the PVC coating. Have underbody work carried out by a workshop.

Before and after winter, wash the underbody and have the protective wax coating checked.

Retractable steel roof

Coat all seals, such as on the roof and the windscreen frame, with silicone oil from time to time. A constant close contact between the fine rubber lips and the sealing faces ensures a tight fit and low closing forces.

Do not use high-pressure jet cleaners.

156 Service and Maintenance

Additional service work

Additional work ⊕

Additional work is work which is not necessary on every service, but may be performed at the same time as a regular service.

The time allowances for such work are not included in the scope of the regular service, and are invoiced separately. It is however more economic to perform this work as part of a scheduled service than as a separate task.

Extreme operating conditions ●

Conditions are considered extreme if one or more of the following circumstances occur frequently:

■ cold starts,

■ stop and go,

■ caravan/trailer towing,

■ gradients and/or high altitudes,

■ poor road conditions,

■ sand and dust,

■ extreme temperature fluctuations.

Police vehicles, taxis and driving school vehicles are also classed as undergoing extreme operating conditions.

Under extreme operating conditions, it may be necessary to perform certain service work more frequently than at the scheduled intervals.

We recommend obtaining technical advice on the service requirements for your vehicle depending on the particular conditions of use.

Recommended fluids and lubricants

Only use products which have been tested and approved. Damage caused by the use of operating materials which are not approved is not covered by the warranty.

⚠ Warning

Operating materials are hazardous and require corresponding care when handling. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately. Do not inhale fumes and avoid skin contact. Keep out of the reach of children. Operating materials must not pollute waste water, surface water, ground water or soil. Dispose of empty containers correctly. Always remember that operating materials are harmful to health.

Engine oil

Engine oil is characterised by its quality and viscosity. When selecting an engine oil to use, quality is more important than viscosity.

Engine oil for Service Plan

GM-LL-A-025: Petrol engines

GM-LL-B-025: Diesel engines

GM General Motors Europe

LL Longlife

A or B Engine oil grade

025 Validity index

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

Top up engine oil

Oils from different manufacturers and makes can be mixed as long as the engine oil criteria (quality and viscosity) are observed.

Not every engine oil available on the market meets the quality requirements, so always check whether the specifications and classifications required are shown on the container.

If engine oil of the required quality is not available, no more than 1 litre of category ACEA A3/B4 or A3/B3 may be used (only twice between two oil changes). The viscosity must comply with requirements.

The use of engine oil category ACEA A1/B1 and A5/B5 is expressly prohibited as it can cause long-term damage to the engine under certain circumstances.

Engine oil additives

The use of engine oil additives can cause damage and invalidate the warranty.

Engine oil viscosity

Only use engine oil viscosities 0W-30, 0W-40, 5W-30 or 5W-40.

The SAE viscosity class indicates the flow capacity of the oil: In cold weather, the oil is more viscous than when warm.

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

Inspection system

In order to ensure 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.

Fixed service interval

When service is due, InSP appears in the odometer display for approx. 10 seconds when the ignition is switched on. Have the next service performed by a workshop within one week or 300 miles (500 km), whichever occurs first.

The service interval display takes account of off-the-road periods during which the battery is disconnected.

Flexible service interval \*

The length of the service intervals is based on several parameters stemming from usage. For this reason, various engine-specific data is continually gathered and is used to calculate the remaining distance until the next service.

If the remaining distance is less than 1000 miles (1500 km), InSP is displayed with a remaining distance of 600 miles (1000 km) when the ignition is switched on and off. If less than 600 miles (1000 km) remains, InSP is displayed for several seconds. Have the next service performed by a workshop within one week or 300 miles (500 km), whichever occurs first.

Display of remaining distance:

1. Switch off ignition.
2. Briefly press the trip odometer reset button. The odometer reading is shown.
3. Press and hold the reset button for approx. 2 seconds. InSP and the remaining distance are displayed.

Further information on maintenance and the inspection system can be found in the Service and Warranty Booklet, which is in the glove compartment.

Have service work and repairs to the bodywork and components performed properly by a workshop in accordance with Vauxhall motors' recommendations, using Vauxhall genuine parts and accessories.

We recommend your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who has excellent knowledge of Vauxhall vehicles and is in possession of the necessary tools and current service instructions from Vauxhall. To avoid invalidating the warranty, use of a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer is recommended in particular during the warranty period. For further information see the Service and Warranty Booklet.

Separate anti-corrosion service

Carry out after the intervals specified in the Service and Warranty Booklet.

Vauxhall genuine parts and accessories

We recommend that you use "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 Vauxhall vehicles. 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 expert advice on permitted technical changes and ensure correct installation.

ACHTUNG! CAUTION! A. 17922 S 17922 S

Performing work

To avoid injury from moving parts and cables conducting ignition voltage, only carry out engine compartment checks (e.g. checking brake fluid or engine oil level) when the ignition is switched off.

⚠ Warning

Only perform engine compartment checks when the ignition is off. The cooling fan may start operating even if the ignition is off.

Close-up of a car engine bay with yellow X-shaped annotation (no readable text or symbols)

⚠ Warning

The ignition system * and Xenon headlamps * use extremely high voltage. Do not touch.

To aid identification, the caps used when topping up engine oil, coolant and washer fluid as well as the oil dipstick are coloured yellow.

160 Service and Maintenance

Engine oil

For vehicles with engine oil level check *, the engine oil level is checked automatically ↩ 70. We recommend checking the engine oil level before starting a long journey.

Caution

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

ECOTEC MAX MIN 16475 S

Check with the vehicle on a level surface. The engine must be at operating temperature and switched off for at least 5 minutes.

MAX MIN 16476 S

Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean (use a fibre-free material), insert it to the stop on the handle, pull out and read the engine oil level.

Insert oil dipstick up to the stop surface on the handle, and twist half a turn.

Different dipsticks are used depending on engine variant.

When the engine oil level has dropped to the MIN mark, top up engine oil.

Caution

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

Close-up of an internal combustion engine component with visible valve and shaft (no text or symbols)

We recommend that you use the same engine oil as was used the last time it was topped up.

Close-up of a car engine component with a yellow circular mark highlighting a specific part (no visible text or symbols)

The engine oil level must not exceed the MAX mark on the dipstick.

Caution

If there is too much engine oil, the excess must be drained or suctioned out.

Top up to between the MIN and MAX marks 178.

Fit the cap on straight and tighten it.

162 Service and Maintenance

Diesel fuel filter

On each engine oil change, have the fuel filter checked for any water residue by a workshop.

Illumination of control indicator in the instrument cluster indicates water in the diesel fuel filter.

Have fuel filter checked 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.

Coolant

The coolant provides anti-freeze protection down to approx. -28 °C.

Caution

Only use approved anti-freeze. Coolant additives for additional corrosion protection and to seal minor leaks can cause function problems. No liability is accepted for damage caused by the use of coolant additives.

⚠ Warning

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

Mechanical assembly diagram showing a hand operating a lever with a yellow belt and component (no text or symbols visible)

Anti-freeze and corrosion protection Before the start of winter, have a workshop check the anti-freeze protection. The anti-freeze level must guarantee protection down to approx. -28 °C. Insufficient anti-freeze will reduce the frost protection level and the corrosion protection. If necessary, add anti-freeze.

If coolant loss is topped up with water, have concentration checked and add anti-freeze if necessary.

Close-up of a car engine component with hoses and a yellow label 'S41' (no readable text or symbols beyond label)

Coolant level

In a closed cooling system, there is hardly any loss.

If the cooling system is cold, the coolant level should be above the KALT/COLD mark. Top up if the level is low.

⚠ Warning

Allow the engine to cool before opening the cap. Carefully open the cap, relieving the pressure slowly.

Top up with anti-freeze. If no anti-freeze is available, fill with clean tap water or distilled water. Have the anti-freeze concentration checked.

Have the cause of coolant loss rectified by a workshop.

Caution

Too low a coolant level can cause engine damage.

Fit the cap on straight and tighten it.

Brakes

A screeching noise indicates that the brake lining is at its minimum thickness.

Continued driving is possible. Have the brake lining replaced as soon as possible.

Once new brake linings are fitted, do not brake unnecessarily hard for the first 125 miles (200 km).

164 Service and Maintenance

Brake fluid Brake fluid level

⚠ Warning

Brake fluid is poisonous and corrosive. Do not allow it to come into contact with eyes, skin, fabrics or painted surfaces.

Open the cover of the brake fluid reservoir upwards, removing the sealing rubber on the front edge.

Close-up of a car engine compartment with visible fuel tank and wiring (no text or symbols)

The brake fluid must be between the MIN and the MAX marks.

Absolute cleanliness is important when topping up, since contamination in the brake fluid can cause brake system malfunctions.

Only use approved high performance brake fluid. Only use DOT4 brake fluid.

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

Brake fluid change

Brake fluid is hygroscopic, i.e. it absorbs water. If the brakes become hot, such as when driving on long downhill stretches, vapour bubbles can occur in the water, which can have an extremely adverse effect on braking power (depending on the proportion of water).

Therefore observe the specified change intervals.

⚠ Warning

Have the brake fluid changed by a workshop. Observe the legal requirements for disposal of brake fluid to protect the environment and your health.

172 Technical Data

Fuel consumption, CO_2 emissions

Directive 80/1268/EEC (last amended by 2004/3/EC) has been applicable to the measurement of fuel consumption since 1996.

The directive is oriented to actual driving practices: Urban driving is rated at approx. 13 and extra-urban driving at 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 values are based on the EU base model with standard equipment.

The calculation of fuel consumption as specified by directive 2004/3/EC takes account of the vehicle's kerb weight, ascertained in accordance with the aforementioned regulation. 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.

174 Technical Data

Weights, payload and roof load

The payload is the difference between the permitted gross vehicle weight (see identification plate 168) and the EC kerb weight.

Optional equipment and accessories increase the kerb weight, which means that the payload will also change slightly.

Note weight ranges in the vehicle documents and on the rating plate.

The combined total of front and rear axle loads must not exceed the permissible gross vehicle weight. For example, if the front axle is bearing its maximum permissible load, the rear axle can only bear a load that is equal to the gross vehicle weight minus the front axle load.

Roof loads are not permitted.
