Three-stage restraint system

The system comprises

■ three-point seat belts

■ belt tensioners on the front seats

■ airbag sy ste ms for driver a nd 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 *. The side airbag system * protects the occupants in the front of the vehicle in the event of side-on collisions.

⚠ Warning g

The airbag system serves to supplement the three-point seat belts and belt tensioners. The seat belts must therefore always be worn. Disregard of these notes can lead to injuries which may be fatal. Vehic le pa ssenge rs should be informe d accordingly.

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

Seat belts

⚠ Warning

Alwa ys wear your seat belt - and that means a lo in urban traffic and when you are a rear seat passeng er. It can save your life!

Pregnant women too must always wear a se at be lt.

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 150cm if used in conjunction with a child seat.

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 direction (no text or symbols)

Using the belts

Fit ting the belt

Pull the belt out evenly 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.

Illustration of a hand adjusting a seatbelt with a yellow arrow indicating compression (no text or symbols)

⚠ Warning g

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, spec ta cles) beca use these could ca use injury. Do not place any objects (e.g. handbags) between the belt and your body.

The belt can now be used in the same way as a standard seat belt.

⚠ Warning g

The seat belt will not be effective in the event of an accident if the lower latch is not correctly fitted.

When releasing the seat belt, ensure that the central buckle is always released before the buckle on the side of the seat.

Always remove the lower latch plate from the outside buckle before removing seats from the vehicle or to facilitate access to the rear seats * - see page 48.

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. We recommend consulting your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

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.

Medical illustration of a car seatbelt buckle with a yellow accent (no text or symbols)

Belt tensioners \*

The seat belt systems incorporate 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.

Act uation of belt tensioners

The belt tensioners must be replaced after activation. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Warning

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

Airbag systems \*

Front airbag

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

The front airbag system comprises:

■ an airbag with an inflator in the steel wheel, and a second one above the glove compartment *
■ the control electronics with impact sensor
■ the airbag system control indicator ⚡ in the instrument panel.
■ Front passenger airbag deactivation *

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

The front airbag system is triggered:

■ depending on the severity of the accident
■ depending on the type of impact
■ within the range shown in the illustration
■ indep endently of the side airbag and curtain airbag systems *.

Examples:

■ Impact against a non-yielding ob stacle: the front airbag is triggered at low vehicle speed.
■ Impact against a yielding obstacle (such as another vehicle): the front 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 a nd front pa ssenger. The forward m ovement of the driver and front passenger is checked and the risk of injuries to the upper body and head thereby substantially reduced.

■ No impairment of view will occur, because use 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 a s 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 57).

Safety systems62

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

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

⚠ Warning

Seat belts must therefore always be worn. The front 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 front airbag system will provide you with effective protection in the event of an accident.

Diagram of a car interior showing a yellow arrow pointing to the side panel (no text or symbols present)

Side airbag \*

The side airb ags are mounted on the outboard sides of the front se at backrests to protect the occupants in the event of a severe side impact.

■ an airbag with inflator in the back of the driver's and front passenger's seat respectively
■ the control electronics
■side impact sensors
■ the airbag systems control indicator in the instrument panel.

Top-down view of a car with directional arrows indicating flow or movement (no text or symbols)

The side airbag system will be triggered:

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

When triggered the side airbag inflates in milliseconds and forms a sa fety cushion for driver and/or front passenger in the respective door area. The risk of injury to the upper body in the event of a side impact is thereby substantially reduced.

⚠ Warning

There must be no objects in the area in which the airbag inflates or in the area between the seat backs and the vehicle body. Do not place the hands or arms on the covers of the airbag system s. Important information - see page 66. The three-point seat belt must be correctly fitted - see page 57.

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

■ the ignition being switched off,
■ frontal collisions,
■ accidents in which the vehicle overturns,
■ collisions involving a rear impact,
■ collisions involving a side impact outside the passenger cell.

AIR BAG S 11744

Curtain airbag \*

The curtain airbag system comprises:

■ an airbag with inflator in the roof frame on the d riv er's and p assenge r's side respectively,
■ the control electronics,
■ the side impact sensors,
■ the airbag systems control indicator in the instrument panel.

Top-down diagram of a car with directional arrows indicating flow or movement (no text or symbols)

The curtain airbag system will be triggered:

■ depending on the severity of the accident,
■ depending on the type of impact,
■ within the range shown in the illustration,
■ together with the side airbag system,
■ independently of the front airbag system.

Safety systems64

When triggered the curtain airbag inflates within milliseconds and provides a safety barrier in the head area on the respective side of the vehicle. This reduces the risk of injury to the head considerably in case of a side impact.

⚠ Warning

There must be no objects in the area in which the airbag inflates. Do not place the hands or arms on the covers of the airbag systems. Important information – see page 66.

The three-point seat belt must always be correctly fitted – see page 57.

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

Imp or tant

■ Accessories not released for your vehicle type and other objects must not be affixed or placed in the area in which the airbags inflate, as they could cause injury when the airbags are triggered.
■ Do not place any objects between the airbag systems and the vehicle occupants; danger of injury.
■ Do not stick or place anything on the stee ring wheel, instrument panel, front seat backrests in the vicinity of the airbags and seat areas or cover them with other materials.
■ The airbag systems and belt tensioner control electronics can be found in the centre console area. In order to avoid malfunctions, do not store magnetic objects in this area.
■ Use only a dry cloth or interior cleaner to clean the steering wheel, instrument panel, front seat backrests, roof frame and seat area of the front passenger seat. Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents.

■ Only protective covers which are approved for your Vivaro with side airbag * may be fitted on the front seats. When fitting the protective covers, make sure that the a irbag units on the outboard sides of the front seat backrests are not covered.
■ The airbag systems are triggered ind ependently of each other depending on the severity of the accident and the type of impact. The side airbag system * and the curtain airbag system * are triggered together.
■ Each airbag can be triggered only once. Once triggered, an airbag must be replaced without delay. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
■ 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 dama ge to your vehicle and the resulting repair costs alone are not indicative that the criteria for triggering of the side airbag were met.

■ Do not perform any modifications to the components of the airbag systems, 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, all panelling parts, the door seals, the hand les 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.

This is especially the case if backwards-facing child restraint systems are used on the front p passenger seat.

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.

Not e

■ Children under 12 years or under 150 cm tall should only travel in an ap prop ria te child sa fety seat.
■ When transporting children, use the child restra int system's suitable for the child's weight.

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 tem peratures above approx. +4 °C, with the engine running and with the fan switched on:

Press AC button - control = on indicator illuminates

Press AC button 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.

Switch hing 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 sy ste m is sw itc he d on, at least t one ventilation jet 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. We recommend your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Kick down

Accelera for 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.

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 stop ping on gradients engage handbrake or depress brake peda I. To prevent overheating of the clutch, an intermittent, audible warning may sound as a signal to depress the foot brake or apply the handbrake.

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

Parking

Before leaving the vehicle:

■eng age handbra ke,
■ 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 handb ra ke has not be en ap plied, an intermittent audible warning may 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.

Fault

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

You can continue driving, provided you drive with care and anticipation. Consult a workshop to have the cause of the fault eliminated. We recommend your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. 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 discharg ed and a gear has been selected. The vehicle cannot move.

If the battery is flat, start the vehicle using jump leads - see page 126.

If the cause of the interruption to the power supply is not a discharged battery, consult a works hop. We re come nd y our V aux hall Authorised Repairer.

Driving hints

The first 600 miles (1000 km)

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

Make good use of all gears. Depress the accelerator ped al a ma ximum of around three quarters of the available pedal travel in all gea rs 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 signal indicators, 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 pum p.

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 75mph (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

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.

Eng ine rpm

Und er all d riving cond itions drive in a favourable engine speed range.

Warm ing 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, 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

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

Change down

When decreasing speed shift down into the next lowest gear. Do not slip the clutch with a high-revving engine. This is especially important when hill climbing.

Clutch operation

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

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

Pedals

Do not place any objects in the foot well 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 (heated rear window, auxiliary headlights etc.).

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

Save fuel, protect the environment

Trend-setting technology

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

Recycling of production wastes keeps the circulation of material closed. Reduction of energy and water requirements also 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.

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

New painting techniques employ water as a solvent.

Drive in an energy and env iro nmen t-co nsci ous wa y

■ 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 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 road s 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. one kilometre (0.6 miles) 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 b raking - see page 96.
■ 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 a 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 prematurely.

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 relea sing 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 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.

Electrica I load s

■ The power consumption of electrical equipment increases fuel consumption.
■ Switch off all additional consumers (e.g. air conditioning *, heated rear window *) when they are no longer required.

Roof racks

■ Roof racks can increase fuel consumption by approx. 3.5 gal /1000 miles (1 litre /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 99

Fuel for petrol engines ..... 99

Fuel for diesel engines.... 100

Refuelling .... 100

Fuel consumption

Optional equipment (e.g. wide tyres, air conditioning system, towing equipment) increases the kerb weight and in some cases also the permissible gross vehicle weight. This in turn increases fuel consumption and reduces the maximum speed of the vehicle.

When the vehicle is new, there is increased friction between the engine and transmission components lasting for several thousand miles. This increases fuel consumption.

Fuel for petrol engines

Commercially available high-quality fuel with a maximum ethanol content of 5 % as per DIN EN 228 (catalytic converter - see page 102, octane numbers - see page 163). Fuel quality has a decisive influence on power output, running behaviour and service life of the engine.

The additives contained in the fuel play an important role in this regard. You should therefore only use high-quality fuels containing additives.

Fuels with ethanol content greater than 5% do not comply with DIN EN 228 and must not be used unless the vehicle has been specifically developed and ap proved for use of such.

Fuel with too low an octane number can cause pinking. Vauxhall cannot be held liable for resulting damage.

Petrol with a higher octane number can always be used.

Pump nozzles for leaded fuel cannot be inserted into the filler neck of vehicles that operate on unlead ed fuel.

The ignition timing is automatically adjusted according to the grade of fuel used (octane number) – see page 163.

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

Fuel for diesel engines

Diesel engines must be operated only on commercially available diesel fuel meeting the specific ations of DIN EN 590. Do not use marine diesel oils, heating oils or entirely or partially plant-b ased diesel fuels, such as rape seed oil or b io diesel, Aquazole and similar diesel-w ater emulsions.

The flow and filterability of diesel fuel are temperature-d epe nd ent.

Diesel fuels with improved low-tem perature properties are therefore ava ilab le 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.

Do not mix diesel fuel with fuel 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. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

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

The fuel filler flap is locked ✦ together with the doors - see page 41.

To unlock filler cap*: insert key and turn anti-clockwise.

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

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

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

Replace the filler cap and turn key clockwise as far as it will go.

Wipe off any overflowing fuel immediately.

Catalytic converter for petrol engines

Leaded fuel will damage the cata lytic converter and parts of the electronic system, thereby rendering them inoperative.

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

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

If the engine misfires or runs roughly after a cold start, the engine power has reduced significantly or other unusual operating problems occur that indicate a fault in the ignition system, please contact a workshop as quickly as possible. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. Drive at a slower speed and with less engine revs for a short time if necessary.

■ If unburnt fuel enters the catalytic converter, this may result in overheating and irreparable damage to the catalytic converter.

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

■ If the control indicator for exhaust emission flashes, lift your foot off the accelerator until the indicator stops flashing and is steadily lit. Contact a workshop immediately. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. Control indicator for exhaust emissions - see page 23.

Catalytic converter for diesel engines

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

■ Consult a workshop, we recommend your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, as quickly as possible in the event of irregular engine running, a significant loss of engine power or other unusual malfunctions. If necessary, driving may be continued for a short time at a low speed and with a low engine speed.

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. We recommend that you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

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 a vailable. 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 inspection. For this reason you should have all maintenance work carried out at the intervals specified in your Service Booklet.

Parking distance sensor * .... 107

Electronic Stability Program (ESP) \*

The ESP (Electronic Stability Program) * 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 fea ture tempt you into taking risks w hen driving.

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

Parking distance sensor \*

The parking distance sensor makes 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 sy ste m records the distance using sensors in the rear bumper.

The parking distance sensor is automatically enabled when the ignition is switched on and reverse gear is selected. Readiness for operation is indicated by brief acoustic a larm.

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 sensor is operational. This is of particular importance when in the vicinity of pedestrians.

The sy ste m registers the d istance 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.

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

In the interest of effectiveness, do not brake unnecessarily hard during the first 120 miles (200 km) after new disc brake pads have been fitted.

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.

Brakes114

Diagram of three car gear shifters with no visible text or symbols

Foot brake

The b ra king sy stem com prises 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. Consult a workshop before continuing to drive. We recommend that you consult a Vaux hall Auth orised Repairer.

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 the start of each journey the brake system should be tested at low speed for its effectiveness, especially if the brakes are wet, e.g. after washing your vehicle.

The brake fluid level should be checked regularly - see page 151.

⚠ Warning

If the control indicator lights up when the hand brake is not applied: stop vehicle; interrupt your journey immediately. Consult a workshop. We recommend your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

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 b ends or when swerving to avoid a n ob stacle. Even in the case of full-on braking, the ABS makes it possible to drive round an obstacle without releasing the brakes.

AB S 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 ta king risks when driving

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

Cont rol indica tor (ABS) for ABS

When the ignition is switched on, the ABS control indicator lights up. 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 lights up during driving, there is a fault in the ABS. The vehicle's brake system remains operational without AB S 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

Changing tyre/wheel type

Before switching to different tyres or wheels, seek advice on technical possibilities. We recommend that you consult your Vaxhall Autothis ed Re pairer, 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.

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

Fitting new tyr es

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 disposa lof tyres and therefore protects the environment and your health.

Tyre inflation pressure

Check tyre 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 pressures - see page 167.

Illustration of a car tire with a yellow cable being inserted, no text or symbols present

S 11782

Increa se d pressure re sulting from tyre warm-up must not be reduced, otherwise the pressure may drop below the permissible minimum.

After having checked the tyre 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.

Diagram of a car tire being adjusted with a yellow X mark, 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 la ter 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. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

For safety reasons, tyres should be re placed when their tread de pth has worn down to 2 to 3 mm. The legal permissible minimum tread depth (1.6 mm) has been reached when the tread has worn down as far as one of the wear indicators. A number of wear indicators are spaced at equal intervals around the tyre within the tread. Their position is indicated by markings on the tyre sidewall.

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

Note: The front roof rack fixing points loca ted a bove the cab area are for installation of the full roof rack system only and must not be used to attach roof bars.

Driving hints - see page 95.

Towing equipment \*

If the vehicle is not equipped with a trailer hitch, we recommend having this retrofitted by a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who will advise you on any possible towed load increases. Your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer has instructions on how to install the trailer hitch and making any changes to the vehicle that are need ed that a ffe ct the cooling system or other equipment.

Towing equipment audible wa rning * For vehicles fitted with towing equipment * when connected to a caravan or trailer the pitch of the audible wa rning changes upon operating the turn signal lights. The pitch of the audible warning will change if the caravan/trailer or towing vehicle turn signal light fails.

Caravan/trailer loads ^1)

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

The permissible cara van/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.

The actual caravan/trailer load plus the actual gross vehicle weight must not exceed the maximum permitted towing weight. For example, if the permitted gross vehicle weight is utilised, the cara van/trailer load must only be used until the maximum permitted towing weight is reached. The maximum permitted towing weight is shown on the identifica tion plate, see page 161.

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.

In the case of caravan/trailer loads of 1200 kg or more, the coupling socket load should not be less than 50 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 trailers/caravans 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.

Illustration of a car tire with a yellow cable being inserted, no text or symbols present

S 11782

Tyre inflation pressure

Increase the tyre pressure on the towing vehicle to the value specified for full load (see page 167). Also check the pressure of the caravan/trailer tyres.

Driving characteristics, towing tips

In the case of cara vans/trailers with brakes, attach the breakaway stopping cable.

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

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

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

In the case of trailers/caravans 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 p ermitted.

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

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

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.

When coupled to a caravan/trailer the vehicle requires more braking effort when driving down long gradients, so select the same gear as you would d riving uphill and drive at roughly the same speed.

Remember that the braking distance to vehicles towing caravans/trailers is always greater than the braking distance for vehicles not towing a caravan/trailer.

Starting on inclines

Hold engine rpm constant, engage clutch gradually (let slip), relea se bra ke and open throttle. If possible, the engine speed should not drop during this procedure.

For vehicles with Tecshift * in automatic mode, apply sufficient throttle.

Before starting off under extreme conditions (high combination weight, mountainous terrain with steep inclines), switch off all unnecessary electrical loads (e.g. heated rear window).

Starting the engine with jump leads\*

A vehicle with a discharg ed battery can be started using jump leads and the battery of another vehicle.

⚠ 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 16 mm ^2 (25 mm ^2 for diesel engines).
■ 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.
■ Ap ply hand brake. 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 not last long er 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.

the leads in the order shown in the picture:

1. Connect one end of the first jump lead to the positive terminal 1 of the battery providing the jump start (identified by “+” sign on battery case or terminal).
2. Connect the other end of this lead to the positive terminal 2 of the discharged battery ("+" sign).
3. Connect the first end of the second jump lead to the negative terminal 3 of the battery providing the jump start ("-" sign).
4. Connect the other end of this jump lead 4 to ground on the other vehicle, e.g. engine block or screw connection in engine suspension.

Warning

Care must be taken to ensure that the leads do not inadvertently contact metal surfaces within the compartment area.

■ Do not connect the lead to the negative terminal of the battery on the vehicle providing the jump start! The connection point should be as far away from the battery as possible.
■ Route the leads so that they cannot catch on rotating parts in the engine compartment.
■ Reverse above sequence exactly when removing leads.

Towing the vehicle

Screw the towing eye (stowed in the tool kit - see page 130) fully into the front towing point.

Attach the tow rope * - or better still, a tow rod * - to the towing eye, never to the bumper or front suspension units.

⚠ Warning

Never lift the vehicle using the towing eye!

Place the gear shift lever in the neutral position (Tecshift * in N). Switch on the ignition to release the steering column lock and to permit the operation of the brake lights, horn and windscreen wiper.

Drive off slowly and avoid jerky movements. Impermissible tractive force's could damage the vehicles.

⚠ Warning

More brake pedal pressure is necessary when braking since the brake servo unit is operative only when the engine is running.

Considerably greater steering force is necessary since this unit is operative only when the engine is running.

To prevent the entry of exhaust fumes from the towing vehicle, switch on the air circulation system and close the windows.

Consult a workshop. We recommend your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who will serve you best to get your vehicle back on the road.

Towing service

Entrust your vehicle only to the towing se vice of yo u r ch oice and d o bta in a n estimate on towing costs before employing any towing service. This will prevent unnecessary expense and possible insurance problems during claim processing.

Jack and vehicle tools \*

The jack and the vehicle tools have been specially developed for your vehicle and must only be used on that vehicle. Only use jack for changing wheels.

The jack, adapters, ratchet, torx key, hub cap hook, towing eye and spa re wheel security tool * are contained in a unit, stowed under the driver's seat.

Warning triangle △ \*, First-aid kit ⊕ \*

Your first-aid kit and warning triangle can be accommodated in the space under the front seats.

⚠ Warning

Ensure items stowed under the seats are securely restrained.

Spare wheel \*

The spare wheel is mounted under the rear underbody. The spare wheel may be secured using a Vauxhall security bolt * that can only be removed using the tool supplied.

⚠ Warning g

Due to the w eight of the tyre assembly it is recommended that you exercise caution when releasing the spare w heel carrier. Do not fully remove bolt 1.

Support the spare wheel with a suitable object to prevent the wheel falling suddenly when loosening the carrier bolts - risk of injury!

If in doubt seek technical assistance, consult a workshop. We recommend that you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

It may be necessary to jack the vehicle up to gain access to the spare wheel on a fully loaded vehicle with a flat rear tyre.

① ② S 11796

To release the spare wheel carrier, loosen bolt 1, ensuring it is not fully removed. Fully remove bolt 2, then pull the carrier to the left, until it clears bolt 1, and lower the carrier assembly.

When installing the wheel ensure that the spare wheel carrier is correctly positioned before tightening the bolts.

If you use winter tyres *, the spare wheel may still be fitted with a summer tyre. If you use the spare wheel when it is fitted with a summer tyre the vehicle's driveability may be affected, esp ecially on slippery road surfaces. Obtain a replacement for the faulty tyre as soon as possible, and have the wheel balanced and fitted to the vehic le.

Wheel changing

In order to reduce the chance of possible injuries, make the following preparations and note the procedure:

■ Park on a level, firm and non-slippery surface.
■ Switch on hazard warning flashers and apply hand brake. Engage 1st gear or reverse for manual transmission and Tecshift *.
■ Correctly set up warning triangle.
■ No people or animals may be in the vehicle when it is jacked up.
■ Before lifting the vehicle, turn front wheels to straight-ahead position.

■ Never change more than one wheel at a time.
■ Block wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be changed by placing wedge blocks, any available blocks of wood or rocks behind and in front of it.
■ Use jack only when changing wheels.
If the ground on which the vehicle is standing is soft, a solid board (max. 1 cm thick) should be placed under the jack. Using a thicker board could lead to damage of the jack and the vehicle.
■ Never crawl under a jacked-up vehicle.
■ Do not start or run the engine while the vehicle is on the jack.

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 kilometre/mileage 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.

Sepa rate anti-p er for ation inspection Have this inspection performed regularly, either within the scope of a Service or separately, see Service Booklet. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer 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 b r a ke fluid level or the e ng ine oil level) when the ignition is switched off.

⚠ Warning

The cooling fan may be operated by a thermoswitch and can therefore start operate. une xpectedly even when the ignition is switched off. Risk of injury.

Electronic ignition system s 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, cha ssis 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 hand le of the oil dipstick may be coloured yellow.

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.

⚠ Warning g

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

A B F4R S 11815

The illustrations show checking and rep lenishing the oil in the petrol and diesel engine s re sp ective ly.

To check the level, remove the oil gauge (dipstick), wipe it clean and re-insert it as far as it will go.

Engine oil level check and topping up The oil level must be checked with the vehicle horizontal and with the engine (which must be a t operating temperature) switched off. Wait approximately 10 minutes before checking the level to allow the normal oil accumulation in the engine to drain back into the oil pan.

A B F9Q S 11816

On F9Q engines the oil gauge is mounted on the oil filler cap which must be rotated anti-clockwise to open.

A B M9R S 13042

For M9R engines, rotate cap anti-clockwise, remove the oil gauge, wipe it clean and re-insert it as far as it will go.

A B G9U S 11817

Top up if the oil level has dropped to the "ad d oil" mark A.

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

Illustration of a car engine component being poured into a valve (no text or symbols visible)

When replenishing, attempt to use the same type of oil as used at the last oil change.

Interior view of a car engine bay with visible hoses and dashboard (no text or symbols)

To prevent spillage when replenishing the engine oil on F9Q engines, use the funnel stored in the front of the engine compartment.

To re lease the funnel, raise the plastic catch on the funnel and lift upwards.

Capacities - see page 168.

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.

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

Illustration of a yellow liquid being poured into a mechanical engine component (no text or symbols)

Remove the oil filler cap and top up as required. Do not overfill.

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

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.

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

Engine air flow 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. We recommend your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

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 -28 °C.

Certain types of anti-freeze can lead to engine damage. We therefore strongly recommend the use of anti-fre eze 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.

Illustration of hands using a dropper to test liquid into a car engine (no text or symbols visible)

Freeze protection and corrosion protection

Before the start of the cold weather season, ha ve the coolant checked for correct concentration. We rec ommend that you consult y our Va ux ha ll Authoris ed Re pairer. The amount of antifreeze m ust provide protection down to approx. -28 °C. If the antifreeze concentration is too low, this reduces protection from freezing and corrosion. Top up antifreeze if necessary.

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

Illustration of a car engine component being inserted into a housing, with no visible text or symbols

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 a gain 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 d istilled water, have the anti-freeze conc entration checked, and anti-freeze added if necessary. Have the cause of the coolant loss remedied. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

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

Coolant tem perature

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 uppermost 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 rem edied. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

■ Coolant level OK:

Have the cause of increased coolant temperature remedied. Contact a workshop. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

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 im pair 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. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

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 wipers to ensure they are operating correctly. We recommend wiper blade replacement at least once a year.

If the windsc reen 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 become frozen on to the glass, we recommend that they be released with the aid of Vauxhall De-icer Spray.

Smearing wiper blade descan 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.

Switch off the windscreen wiper in car washes – see pages 14 and 158.

Windscreen wiper care – see page 160.

Elec trical 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 or an additional battery.

S 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 be fore 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 a ids tested and recommended by Vauxhall.

In caring for your vehicle observe all national e n vironm en tal reg ulations, particularly when wa shing your vehicle.

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

Washing

The paintwork of your vehicle is exposed to environmental influences, e.g. continuous changes in weather conditions, industrial waste gases and dust or thawing salts, so wash and wax your vehicle regularly. When using a utoma tic 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, the automatic wiper with rain sensor *, and the back door / tailgate window wiper must be switched off – see page 14. Remove detachable rod antenna. Stand on the door sill to reach them more easily.

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

Clea n edges and folds on op ened 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.

Observe national regulations.

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.

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

Polishing

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

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

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

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

Wheels

Use a pH-neutral wheel cleaning agent to clean the wheels.

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

Paintwork damage

Repair small areas of paint damage such as stone impacts, scratches etc. immediately using a Vauxhall touch-up applicator or Vauxhall spray and touch-up paint before rust can form. If rust has already formed, have the cause reme died. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. Please also pay attention to surfaces and edges beneath the vehicle where rust may have formed unnoticed for some time.

Exterior lights

Headlight and other protective light bezels are made of plastic. If they require additional cleaning after the vehicle has been washed, clean them with Car Shampoo. Do not use any abra sive 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 suitable for vehicle interiors. Do not use any other agent, and in particular do not use solvents or petrol.

Wheels and tyres

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

Interior and upholstery

Clean the vehicle interior, including the instrument panel fasc ia, using interior cleaner.

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

Do not use cleaning agents such as acetone, carbon tetrachloride, paint thinner, paint remover, nail varnish remover, washing powder or bleach to clean fabrics, carpets, the dashboard or leather trim * in the vehicle interior. Petrol is also unsuitable.

Seat belts

Always keep seat b elts clean a nd dry.

Clean only with lukewarm water or upholstery cleaner.

Windows

When cleaning the heated back door or tailgate windows, make sure that the heating element on the inside of the window is not damaged.

Use a soft lint-free cloth or chamois leather in conjunction with Window Cleaner and Insect Remover.

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

For mecha nical 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

Wax, such as that used in car wa shes, can cause streaks to form on the windscreen when the wiper is used.

Smearing wiper blades can be cleaned with a soft cloth and Vauxhall Windscreen Wash Solvent, and replaced if necessary – see page 152.

Locks

The locks are lubricated with a high-grade lock cylinder grease at the factory. Vauxhall lock cylinder grease prevents the locks from freezing up. Only use de-icing agent in emergencies, as they have a degreasing effect and will impair the function of the locks. After using a de-icing agent, have the locks re-greased. We recommend that you entrust this to your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Engine compartment

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

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

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

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

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

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

Underbody

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

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

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

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

Weights, payload and roof load

The p ayload is the diffe rence betwe en the permissible gross vehicle weight and the EC kerb weight.

The combined total of front and rear axle loads (see vehicle id entific ation 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 kerb weight and in some cases also the permissible gross vehicle weight, which means that the payload will also change slightly.

Note the weights given on the vehicle identification plate.

The maximum evenly distributed load on the Vauxhall full roof rack system is 200 kg. Driving hints – page 95.
