Seat belts

Illustration of a person seated in a car seat, wearing a seatbelt and holding the steering wheel (no text or symbols visible)

The seat belts are locked during heavy acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle holding the occupants in the sitting position. Therefore the risk of injury is considerably reduced.

⚠ Warning

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

Seat belts are designed to be used by only one person at a time. Child restraint system 43.

Periodically check all parts of the belt system for damage, pollution and proper functionality.

Have damaged components replaced. After an accident, have the belts and triggered belt pretensioners replaced by a workshop.

Notice

Make sure that the belts are not damaged by shoes or sharp-edged objects or are trapped. Prevent dirt from getting into the belt retractors.

Seat belt reminder

Front seats are equipped with a seat belt reminder, indicated for driver seat as control indicator in the tachometer 68, and for front passenger seat as control indicator in the Driver Information Centre 65.

Belt force limiters

Stress on the body is reduced by the gradual release of the belt during a collision.

Belt pretensioners

In the event of a head-on or rear-end collision of a certain severity, the front seat belts are tightened.

Warning

Incorrect handling (e.g. removal or fitting of belts) can trigger the belt pretensioners.

Deployment of the belt pretensioners is indicated by continuous illumination of control indicator ➡ 68.

Triggered belt pretensioners must be replaced by a workshop. Belt pretensioners can only be triggered once.

Notice

Warning

The lap belt must be positioned as low as possible across the pelvis to prevent pressure on the abdomen.

Airbag system

The airbag system consists of a number of individual systems depending on the scope of equipment.

When triggered, the airbags inflate within milliseconds. They also deflate so quickly that it is often unnoticeable during the collision.

Warning

If handled improperly the airbag systems can be triggered in an explosive manner.

Notice

The airbag systems and belt pretensioner control electronics are located in the centre console area. Do not put any magnetic objects in this area.

Do not affix any objects onto the airbag covers and do not cover them with other materials.

Each airbag is triggered only once. Have deployed airbags replaced by a workshop. Furthermore, it may be

necessary to have the steering wheel, the instrument panel, parts of the panelling, the door seals, handles and the seats replaced.

Do not make any modifications to the airbag system as this will invalidate the vehicle type approval.

When the airbags inflate escaping hot gases may cause burns.

Fault

If there is a fault in the airbag system, the control indicator 🚗 illuminates and a message or a warning code appears in the Driver Information Centre. The system is not operational.

Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop.

Child restraints

Child restraint systems

We recommend Vauxhall child restraint systems which are tailored specifically to the vehicle.

The following child restraints are recommended for the following weight classes:

  • Group 0, Group 0+ Maxi Cosi Cabriofix with ISOFIX base, for children up to 13 kg
  • Group I Duo Plus with ISOFIX and Top tether, for children from 9 kg to 18 kg in this group
  • Group II, Group III Kidfix with or without ISOFIX for children from 15 kg to 36 kg

When a child restraint system is being used, pay attention to the following usage and installation instructions and also those supplied with 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.

Danger

If using a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat, the airbag system for the front passenger seat must be deactivated. This also applies to certain forward-facing child restraint systems as indicated in the tables ⇒ 45.

Airbag deactivation 42.

Airbag label ➔ 37.

Selecting the right system

The rear seats are the most convenient location to fasten a child restraint system.

Children should travel facing rearwards in the vehicle as long as possible. This ensures that the child's backbone, which is still very weak, is under less strain in the event of an accident.

44 Seats, restraints

Only use suitable restraint systems, e.g. those that comply with valid UN ECE regulations.

Ensure that the child restraint system to be installed is compatible with the vehicle type. Refer to the tables on the following pages, the instructions supplied with the child restraint system and the vehicle type list of non-universal child restraint systems.

Ensure that the mounting location of the child restraint system within the vehicle is correct, see following tables.

Remove rear head restraint before mounting a child restraint system if required.

Allow children to enter and exit the vehicle only on the side facing away from the traffic.

When the child restraint system is not in use, secure the seat with a seat belt or remove it from the vehicle.

Child restraint systems could be fastened with ISOFIX mounting brackets, Top-tether if available, and/or a three-point seat belt. Refer to the following tables.

Notice

Do not affix anything on the child restraint systems and do not cover them with any other materials.

A child restraint system which has been subjected to stress in an accident must be replaced.

Loading information

  • Heavy objects in the load compartment should be placed against the seat backrests. Ensure that the backrests are securely engaged. If objects can be stacked, heavier objects should be placed at the bottom.
  • Secure loose objects in the load compartment to prevent them from sliding.
  • When transporting objects in the load compartment, the backrests of the rear seats must not be angled forward.
  • Do not allow the load to protrude above the upper edge of the backrests.
  • Do not place any objects on the load compartment cover or the instrument panel, and do not cover the sensor on top of the instrument panel.
  • The load must not obstruct the operation of the pedals, parking brake and gear selector lever, or

hinder the freedom of movement of the driver. Do not place any unsecured objects in the interior.

- Do not drive with an open load compartment.

⚠ Warning

Always make sure that the load in the vehicle is securely stowed. Otherwise objects can be thrown around inside the vehicle and cause personal injury or damage to the load or vehicle.

- The payload is the difference between the permitted gross vehicle weight (see identification plate 173) and the EC kerb weight.

To calculate the payload, enter the data for your vehicle in the weights table at the front of this manual.

The EC kerb weight includes weights for the driver (68 kg), luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (fuel tank 90% full).

Optional equipment and accessories increase the kerb weight.

- Driving with a roof load increases the sensitivity of the vehicle to cross-winds and has a detrimental effect on vehicle handling due to the vehicle's higher centre of gravity. Distribute the load evenly and secure it properly with retaining straps. Adjust the tyre pressure and vehicle speed according to the load conditions. Check and retighten the straps frequently.

⚠ Warning

  • Do not park the vehicle on an easily ignitable surface. The high temperature of the exhaust system could ignite the surface.
  • Always apply the parking brake. Activate the manual parking brake without pressing the release button. Apply as firmly as possible on a downhill slope or uphill slope. Depress brake pedal at the same time to reduce operating force.
  • Switch off the engine.
  • If the vehicle is on a level surface or uphill slope, engage first gear before removing the ignition key. On an uphill slope, turn the front wheels away from the kerb.
    If the vehicle is on a downhill slope, engage reverse gear before removing the ignition

key. Turn the front wheels towards the kerb.

  • Close the windows and the sunroof.
  • Remove the ignition key from the ignition switch. Turn the steering wheel until the steering wheel lock is felt to engage.

For vehicles with manual transmission automated, the key can only be removed from the ignition switch when the parking brake is applied.

  • Lock the vehicle.
  • Activate the anti-theft alarm system.
  • The engine cooling fans may run after the engine has been switched off 133.

Caution

After running at high engine speeds or with 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.

Notice

In the event of an accident with airbag deployment, the engine is switched off automatically if the vehicle comes to a standstill within a certain time.

Engine exhaust

OPEL Viva (2016) - Engine exhaust - 1

Danger

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

If exhaust gases enter the interior of the vehicle, open the windows. Have the cause of the fault rectified by a workshop.

Avoid driving with an open load compartment, otherwise exhaust gases could enter the vehicle.

Catalytic converter

The catalytic converter reduces the amount of harmful substances in the exhaust gases.

Caution

Fuel grades other than those listed on pages ⇔ 124, ⇔ 177 could damage the catalytic converter or electronic components.

Unburnt petrol will overheat and damage the catalytic converter. Therefore avoid excessive use of the starter, running the fuel tank dry and starting the engine by pushing or towing.

In the event of misfiring, uneven engine running, a 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.

Manual transmission

R : reverse gear. Engage only when vehicle is stationary

If selector lever is moved from R to the left, D is directly engaged.

If selector lever is moved from D to

+ or -, manual mode M is selected and the transmission shifts.

Starting off

Depress the brake pedal and move the selector lever to D/M or R. If D is selected, transmission is in automatic mode and first gear is engaged. If R is selected, reverse gear is engaged. The vehicle starts to move when the brake pedal is released.

To start off immediately without depressing the brake pedal, move the selector lever to D or R. D or R will flash for a short time in the Driver

Information Centre. Accelerate as long as D or R flashes. The selected gear is engaged and the vehicle starts moving.

If the accelerator pedal is not depressed as long as D or R are flashing in the Driver Information Centre, no gear is engaged.

Stopping the vehicle

In D, first gear is engaged and the clutch is released when the vehicle is stopped. In R, reverse gear remains engaged.

Engine braking

Automatic mode

When driving downhill, the manual transmission automated does not shift into higher gears until a fairly high engine speed has been reached. It shifts down in good time when braking.

Manual mode

To utilise the engine braking effect, select a lower gear in good time when driving downhill. Changing into manual mode is only possible while the engine is running.

Rocking the vehicle

Rocking the vehicle is only permissible if the vehicle is stuck in sand, mud or snow. Move the selector lever between R and D in a repeat pattern. Do not race the engine and avoid sudden acceleration.

Parking

The most recently engaged gear (see transmission display) remains engaged when switching off ignition. With N, no gear is engaged.

Therefore always apply the parking brake when switching off ignition. If parking brake is not applied, P flashes in the transmission display and the key cannot be removed from the ignition switch. P stops flashing in the transmission display as soon as the parking brake is slightly applied.

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

Tyre pressure monitoring system

To start the sensor matching process of the tyre pressure monitoring system, the selector lever must be moved and held in position N for five seconds. P illuminates in the transmission display to indicate that the sensor matching process can be started.

Tyre pressure monitoring system 151.

Manual mode

If a higher gear is selected when the engine speed is too low, or a lower gear when the speed is too high, the shift is not executed. This prevents the engine from running at too low or too high an engine speed. M and the number of the selected gear will be flashed, then the current gear is displayed again..

If engine speed is too low, the transmission automatically shifts to a lower gear.

When + or - is selected in automatic mode, the transmission switches to manual mode and shifts accordingly.

Gear shift indication

The symbol ▲ with a number alongside it, is indicated when gearshifting is recommended for fuel saving reasons.

Shift indication appears only in manual mode.

Electronic driving programmes

The adaptive programme tailors gearshifting to the driving conditions, e.g. greater load or gradients.

Fault

To prevent damage to the manual transmission automated, the clutch is engaged automatically at high clutch temperatures.

114 Driving and operating

In the event of a fault, control indicator

illuminates. Additionally, a warning message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre. Vehicle messages 79.

Continued driving is restricted or not possible, depending on the fault.

Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop.

Brakes

The brake system comprises two independent brake circuits.

If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can still be braked using the other brake circuit. However, braking effect is achieved only when the brake pedal is depressed firmly. Considerably more force is needed for this. The braking distance is extended. Seek the assistance of a workshop before continuing the journey.

When the engine is not running, the support 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. It is especially important to bear this in mind when being towed.

Control indicator Ⓔ 69.

Antilock brake system

Antilock brake system (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.

After starting-off the system performs a self-test which may be audible.

Control indicator (ABS) 70.

Adaptive brake light

During full braking, all three brake lights flash for the duration of ABS control.

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 remedied by a workshop.

Parking brake

To reduce the operating forces of the parking brake, depress the brake pedal at the same time.

Control indicator Ⓙ 69.

Brake assist

If the brake pedal is depressed quickly and forcefully, maximum brake force is automatically applied (full braking).

Maintain steady pressure on the brake pedal for as long as full braking is required. Maximum brake force is automatically reduced when the brake pedal is released.

Hill start assist

The system helps prevent unintended movement when driving away on inclines.

When releasing the brake pedal after stopping on an incline, the brakes remain on for a further two seconds. The brakes release automatically as

116 Driving and operating

soon as the vehicle begins to accelerate or the two seconds holding time is over.

The hill start assist is not active during an Autostop.

Ride control systems

Traction Control system

The Traction Control system (TC) is a component of the Electronic Stability Control (ESC).

TC improves driving stability when necessary, regardless of the type of road surface or tyre grip, by preventing the drive wheels from spinning.

As soon as the drive wheels start to spin, engine output is reduced and the wheel spinning the most is braked individually. This considerably improves the driving stability of the vehicle on slippery road surfaces.

Fuel

Fuel for petrol engines

Only use unleaded fuel that complies with European standard EN 228 or E DIN 51626-1 or equivalent.

The engine is capable of running with fuel that contains up to 10% ethanol (e.g., named E10).

Use fuel with the recommended octane rating. The engine-specific requirements are given in the engine data overview ➔ 177. A country-specific label at the fuel filler flap can supersede the requirement.

Caution

Do not use fuel or fuel additives that contain metallic compounds such as manganese-based additives. This may cause engine damage.

Caution

Use of fuel that does not comply to EN 228 or E DIN 51626-1 or equivalent can lead to deposits or engine damage.

Caution

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

Fuel for liquid gas operation

Liquid gas is known as LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) or under its French name GPL (Gaz de Pétrole Liquéfié). LPG is also known as Autogas.

LPG consists mainly of propane and butane. The octane rating is between 105 and 115, depending on the butane proportion. LPG is stored liquid at around five to ten bar pressure.

The boiling point depends on the pressure and mixing ratio. At ambient pressure, it is between -42\ °C (pure propane) and -0.5\ °C (pure butane).

Caution

The system works at an ambient temperature of approx. -8 °C to 100 °C.

Full function of the LPG system can only be guaranteed with liquid gas which complies with the minimum requirements of DIN EN 589.

Fuel selector
Interior view of a car showing the dashboard and steering wheel (no visible text or symbols)

Pressing LPG switches between petrol and liquid gas operation as soon as the required parameters (coolant temperature, gas temperature and minimum engine speed) have been reached. The requirements are usually fulfilled after approx. 60 seconds (depending on exterior temperature) and the first firm press on the accelerator. The LED status shows the current operating mode.

If the fuel tank is empty, the engine will not start.

126 Driving and operating

The selected fuel mode is stored and reactivated at the next ignition cycle if conditions allow.

As soon as the liquid gas tanks are empty, petrol operation is automatically engaged until the ignition is switched off.

When switching automatically between petrol or gas operation, a brief delay of engine tractive power may be noticeable.

Every six months, run the petrol tank down until control indicator 📁 illuminates, then refuel. This helps maintain fuel quality and system function for petrol operation.

Fill the tank completely at regular intervals to prevent corrosion in the tank.

Faults and remedies

If gas mode is not possible, check the following:

  • Is there enough liquid gas present?
  • Is there enough petrol present for starting?

Due to extreme temperatures in combination with the gas composition, it may take slightly longer before the system switches from petrol to gas mode.

In extreme situations, the system may also switch back to petrol mode if the minimum requirements are not fulfilled. If conditions allow, it might be possible to manually switch back to liquid gas operation.

Seek the assistance of a workshop in the event of all other faults.

Caution

Repairs and adjustments may only be made by trained specialists in order to maintain the safety and warranty on the LPG system.

Liquid gas is given a particular odour (odorised) so that any leaks can be detected easily.

Warning

If you smell gas in the vehicle or in the immediate vicinity, switch to petrol mode immediately. No smoking. No naked flames or ignition sources.

If the gas odour persists, do not start the engine. Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop.

When using underground car parks, follow the instructions of the operator and local laws.

Notice

Wheels and tyres

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.

We recommend not swapping the front wheels with the rear wheels and vice versa, as this can affect vehicle stability. Always use less worn tyres on the rear axle.

Winter tyres

Winter tyres improve driving safety at temperatures below 7 °C and should therefore be fitted on all wheels.

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

Tyre designations

E.g. 195/55 R 16 95 H

195 : tyre width, mm

55 : cross-section ratio (tyre height to tyre width), %

R : belt type: Radial

RF : type: RunFlat

16 : wheel diameter, inches

91 : load index e.g. 91 is equivalent to 615 kg

H : speed code letter

Speed code letter:

Q: up to 100 mph

S : up to 112 mph

T: up to 118 mph

H: up to 130 mph

V: up to 150 mph

W : up to 168 mph

Choose a tyre appropriate for the maximum speed of your vehicle.

The maximum speed is achievable at kerb weight with driver (75 kg) plus 125 kg payload. Optional equipment could reduce the maximum speed of the vehicle.

Performance 178.

Directional tyres

Directional tyres must be mounted so that they rotate in the correct direction. The proper rotation direction is indicated by a symbol (e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall.

Tyre pressure

Check the pressure of cold tyres at least every 14 days and before any long journey.

Do not forget the spare wheel.

This also applies to vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring system.

Unscrew the valve cap.

Diagram showing car license plates with icons and numerical labels, alongside a small inset image of a vehicle license plate.

Tyre pressure ➔ 182.

The tyre pressure information label on the driver's door frame indicates the original equipment tyres and the correspondent tyre pressures.

The tyre pressure data refers to cold tyres. It applies to summer and winter tyres.

The ECO tyre pressure serves to achieve the smallest amount of fuel consumption possible.

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

Tyre pressures differ depending on various options.

For the correct tyre pressure value, follow the procedure below:

  • Identify the engine identifier code. Engine data ⇒ 177.
  • Identify the respective tyre.

For the tyres approved for your vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of Conformity provided with your vehicle or other national registration documents.

The driver is responsible for correct adjustment of tyre pressure.

⚠ 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.

Warning

For specific tyres the recommended tyre pressure as shown in the tyre pressure table may exceed the maximum tyre pressure as indicated on the tyre. Never exceed the maximum tyre pressure as indicated on the tyre.

If the tyre pressure must be reduced or increased, switch off ignition. After adjusting tyre pressure switch on ignition and select the relevant setting on the page Tyre Load in the Driver Information Centre 73.

Temperature dependency

The tyre pressure depends on the temperature of the tyre. During driving, tyre temperature and pressure increase. Tyre pressure values provided on the tyre information label and tyre pressure chart are valid for cold tyres, which means at 20 °C.

The pressure increases by nearly 1.5 psi for a 10 °C temperature increase. This must be considered when warm tyres are checked.

The tyre pressure value displayed in the Driver Information Centre shows the real tyre pressure. A cooled down tyre will show a decreased value, which does not indicate an air leak.

Tyre pressure monitoring system

The tyre pressure monitoring system checks the pressure of all four tyres once a minute when vehicle speed exceeds a certain limit.

152 Vehicle care

Caution

Tyre pressure monitoring system warns only about low tyre pressure condition and does not replace regular tyre maintenance by the driver.

All wheels must be equipped with pressure sensors and the tyres must have the prescribed pressure.

Notice

In countries where the tyre pressure monitoring system is legally required, the use of wheels without pressure sensors will invalidate the vehicle type approval.

The current tyre pressures can be shown in the Vehicle Information Menu in the Driver Information Centre.

The menu can be selected by pressing the buttons on the turn signal lever.

Close-up of a handheld device with circular control knob and rotary button (no visible text or symbols)

Press MENU to select the Vehicle Information Menu.

B kPa 268

Turn the adjuster wheel to select the tyre pressure monitoring system.

System status and pressure warnings are displayed by a message with the corresponding tyre flashing in the Driver Information Centre.

The system considers the tyre temperature for the warnings.

Temperature dependency 150.

Close-up of a dial with a pointer and scale, showing approximately 1.5 (no text or symbols visible)

A detected low tyre pressure condition is indicated by the control indicator ⏻ 71.

If ⏻ illuminates, stop as soon as possible and inflate the tyres as recommended ➔ 182.

If (!) flashes for 60-90 seconds then illuminates continuously, there is a fault in the system. Consult a workshop.

After inflating, some driving may be required to update the tyre pressure values in the Driver Information Centre. During this time (↓) may illuminate.

If (☐) illuminates at lower temperatures and extinguishes after some driving, this could be an indicator for approaching a low tyre pressure condition. Check tyre pressure.

Vehicle messages ↩ 79.

If the tyre pressure must be reduced or increased, switch off ignition.

Only mount wheels with pressure sensors, otherwise the tyre pressure will not be displayed and ⏻ illuminates continuously.

A temporary spare wheel is not equipped with pressure sensors. The tyre pressure monitoring system is not operational for these tyres.

Control indicator (!) illuminates. For the further three tyres, the system remains operational.

The use of commercially-available liquid tyre repair kits can impair the function of the system. Factory-approved repair kits can be used.

Operating electronic devices or being close to facilities using similar wave frequencies could disrupt the tyre pressure monitoring system.

Each time the tyres are replaced, tyre pressure monitoring system sensors must be dismounted and serviced. For the screwed sensor; replace valve core and sealing ring. For the clipped sensor; replace complete valve stem.

Vehicle loading status

Adjust tyre pressure to load condition according to the tyre information label or tyre pressure chart 182, and select the appropriate setting in the menu Tyre Load in the Driver Information Centre, Vehicle Information Menu 73. This setting is the reference for the tyre pressure warnings.

The Tyre Load menu only appears if the vehicle is in a standstill and the parking brake is applied. On vehicles with automatic transmission the selector lever has to be in P.

ECO t ir E LORD

Select:

  • Lo for comfort pressure up to 3 people.
  • Eco for Eco pressure up to 3 people.
  • Hi for full loading.

154 Vehicle care

Tyre pressure sensor matching process

Each tyre pressure sensor has a unique identification code. The identification code must be matched to a new tyre/wheel position after rotating the tyres or exchanging the complete wheel set and if one or more tyre pressure sensors were replaced. The tyre pressure sensor matching process should also be performed after replacing a spare tyre with a road tyre containing the tyre pressure sensor.

The malfunction light ( ) and the warning message or code should go off at the next ignition cycle. The sensors are matched to the wheel positions, using a relearn tool, in the following order: left side front wheel, right side front wheel, right side rear wheel and left side rear wheel. The turn signal light at the current active position is illuminated until sensor is matched.

Consult a workshop for service or purchase a relearn tool. There are two minutes to match the first wheel position, and five minutes overall to match all four wheel positions. If it takes longer, the matching process stops and must be restarted.

The tyre pressure sensor matching process is:

  1. Apply the parking brake.
  2. Turn the ignition on.
  3. On vehicles with manual transmission automated: Press and hold brake pedal. Move and hold the selector lever for five seconds in position N until P is displayed in the Driver Information Centre. P indicates that the sensor matching process can be started.

On vehicles with manual transmission: select neutral.

  1. Use MENU on the turn signal lever to select the Vehicle Information Menu in the Driver Information Centre.

  2. Turn the adjuster wheel to scroll to the tyre pressure menu.

  3. Press SET/CLR to begin the sensor matching process. A message requesting acceptance of the process should be displayed.

Tread depth

Check tread depth at regular intervals.

Tyres should be replaced for safety reasons at a tread depth of 2-3 mm (4 mm for winter tyres).

For safety reasons it is recommended that the tread depth of the tyres on one axle should not vary by more than 2 mm.

Close-up of a computer keyboard with visible keyframe patterns (no readable text or symbols)

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). Their position is indicated by markings on the sidewall.

Tyres age, even if they are not used. We recommend tyre replacement every 6 years.

Changing tyre and wheel size

If tyres of a different size than those fitted at the factory are used, it may be necessary to reprogramme the

speedometer as well as the nominal tyre pressure and to make other vehicle modifications.

After converting to a different tyre size, have the label with tyre pressures replaced.

⚠ Warning

Use of unsuitable tyres or wheels may lead to accidents and will invalidate the vehicle type approval.

Wheel covers

Wheel covers and tyres that are factory approved for the respective vehicle and comply with all of the relevant wheel and tyre combination requirements must be used.

If the wheel covers and tyres used are not factory approved, the tyres must not have a rim protection ridge.

Wheel covers must not impair brake cooling.

Store jack and tools always in the respective storage compartments and secure them by fixing.

Damaged wheel placed in the load compartment must always be secured by the strap.

Jump starting

Do not start with a quick charger. A vehicle with a discharged vehicle battery can be started using jump leads and the vehicle battery of another vehicle.

Warning

Be extremely careful when starting with jump leads. Any deviation from the following instructions can lead to injuries or damage caused by battery explosion or damage to the electrical systems of both vehicles.

⚠ Warning

Avoid contact of the battery with eyes, skin, fabrics and painted surfaces. The fluid contains sulphuric acid which can cause injuries and damage in the event of direct contact.

- Never expose the battery to naked flames or sparks.

164 Vehicle care

  • A discharged vehicle battery can already freeze at a temperature of 0 °C. Defrost the frozen battery before connecting jump leads.
  • Wear eye protection and protective clothing when handling a battery.
  • Use a booster battery with the same voltage (12 Volts). Its capacity (Ah) must not be much less than that of the discharged battery.
  • Use jump leads with insulated terminals and a cross section of at least 16 mm2 .
  • Do not disconnect the discharged vehicle 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.
  • The vehicles must not come into contact with each other during the jump starting process.

  • Apply the parking brake, transmission in neutral.

  • Open the positive terminal protection caps of both vehicle batteries.

Lead connection order:

  1. Connect the red lead to the positive terminal of the booster battery.
  2. Connect the other end of the red lead to the positive terminal of the discharged battery.

  3. Connect the black lead to the negative terminal of the booster battery.

  4. Connect the other end of the black lead to a vehicle grounding point, such as the engine block or an engine mounting bolt. Connect as far away from the discharged vehicle battery as possible, however at least 60 cm.

Route the leads so that they cannot catch on rotating parts in the engine compartment.

To start the engine:

  1. Start the engine of the vehicle providing the jump.
  2. After five minutes, start the other engine. Start attempts should be made for no longer than 15 seconds at an interval of one minute.
  3. Allow both engines to idle for approx. three minutes with the leads connected.

  4. Switch on electrical consumers (e.g. headlights, heated rear window) of the vehicle receiving the jump start.

  5. Reverse above sequence exactly when removing leads.

Towing

  1. Disengage cap by using the screwdriver and remove the cap.

Close-up of a car's front grille and dashboard area with a key inserted into the window (no visible text or symbols)

  1. Screw in the towing eye as far as it will go until it stops in a horizontal position.
  2. Attach a tow rope – or better still a tow rod – to the towing eye.

General

The towing eye must only be used for towing and not for recovering the vehicle.

Switch on ignition to release steering wheel lock and to permit operation of brake lights, horn and windscreen wiper.

Transmission in neutral.

Caution

Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily. Excessive tractive force can damage the vehicle.

When the engine is not running, considerably more force is needed to brake and steer.

To prevent the entry of exhaust gases from the towing vehicle, switch on the air recirculation and close the windows.

The vehicle must be towed facing forward, not faster than 88 km/h. In all other cases and when the transmission is defective, the front axle must be raised off the ground.

Seek the assistance of a workshop.

After towing, unscrew the towing eye.

Insert cap and engage in the front bumper.

Appearance care

Exterior care

Locks

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

Washing

The paintwork of your vehicle is exposed to environmental influences. Wash and wax your vehicle regularly. When using automatic vehicle 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.

If using a car wash, comply with the car wash manufacturer's instructions.

The windscreen wiper and rear window wiper must be switched off.

Remove antenna and external accessories such as roof racks etc.

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

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

Clean bright metal mouldings with a cleaning solution approved for aluminium to avoid damages.

Caution

Always use a cleaning agent with a pH value of four to nine.

Do not use cleaning agents on hot surfaces.

Have the door hinges of all doors greased by a workshop.

Do not clean the engine compartment with a steam-jet or high-pressure jet cleaner.

Thoroughly rinse and leather-off the vehicle. Rinse leather frequently. Use separate leathers for painted and glass surfaces: remnants of wax on the windows will impair vision.

Exterior lights

Headlight and other light covers are made of plastic. Do not use any abrasive or caustic agents, do not use an ice scraper, and do not clean them dry.

Polishing and waxing

Wax painted parts of the vehicle regularly (at the latest when water no longer beads). 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.

Unpainted plastic body parts must not be treated with wax or polishing agents.

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 from inside, always wipe in parallel to the heating element to prevent damage.

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.

Sunroof

Never clean with solvents or abrasive agents, fuels, aggressive media (e.g. paint cleaner, acetone-containing solutions etc.), acidic or highly alkaline media or abrasive pads. Do not apply wax or polishing agents to the sunroof.

Wheels and tyres

Do not use high-pressure jet cleaners.

Clean rims with a pH-neutral wheel cleaner.

Rims 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.

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 it waxed 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.

168 Vehicle care

Liquid gas system

OPEL Viva (2016) - Liquid gas system - 1

Danger

Liquid gas is heavier than air and can collect in sink points.

Take care when performing work at the underbody in a pit.

For painting work and when using a drying booth at a temperature above 60 °C, the liquid gas tank must be removed.

Do not make any modifications to the liquid gas system.

Interior care

Interior and upholstery

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

Clean the leather upholstery with clear water and a soft cloth. In case of heavy soiling, use leather care.

The instrument cluster and the displays should only be cleaned using a soft damp cloth. If necessary use a weak soap solution.

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

Clothing fabrics may not be colourfast. This could cause visible discolourations, especially on light-coloured upholstery. Removable stains and discolourations should be cleaned as soon as possible.

Clean seat belts with lukewarm water or interior cleaner.

Caution

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

The same applies to clothing with sharp-edged objects, like zips or belts or studded jeans.

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.

Service display ➔ 64.

Confirmations

Confirmation of service is recorded in the Service and Warranty Booklet. The date and mileage is completed with the stamp and signature of the servicing workshop.

Make sure that the Service and Warranty Booklet is completed correctly as continuous proof of service is essential if any warranty or goodwill claims are to be met, and is also a benefit when selling the vehicle.

Service interval with remaining engine oil life duration

The service interval is based on several parameters depending on usage.

The service display lets you know when to change the engine oil.

Service display ➔ 64.

Only use products that meet the recommended specifications.

Warning

Operating materials are hazardous and could be poisonous. Handle with care. Pay attention to information given on the containers.

Engine oil

Engine oil is identified by its quality and its viscosity. Quality is more important than viscosity when selecting which engine oil to use. The oil quality ensures e.g. engine cleanliness, wear protection and oil aging control, whereas viscosity grade gives information on the oil's thickness over a temperature range.

Dexos is the newest engine oil quality that provides optimum protection for petrol engines. If it is unavailable, engine oils of other listed qualities have to be used. Recommendations for petrol engines are also valid for Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) and Ethanol (E85) fuelled engines.

Select the appropriate engine oil based on its quality and on the minimum ambient temperature 174.

Topping up engine oil

Engine oils of different manufacturers and brands can be mixed as long as they comply with the required engine oil quality and viscosity.

Use of engine oil with only ACEA A1/B1 or only A5/B5 quality is prohibited, since it can cause long-term engine damage under certain operating conditions.

Select the appropriate engine oil based on its quality and on the minimum ambient temperature 174.

Additional engine oil additives

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

Engine oil viscosity grades

The SAE viscosity grade gives information of the thickness of the oil.

Multigrade oil is indicated by two figures, e.g. SAE 5W-30. The first figure, followed by a W, indicates the low temperature viscosity and the second figure the high temperature viscosity.

Select the appropriate viscosity grade depending on the minimum ambient temperature ⇒ 174.

All of the recommended viscosity grades are suitable for high ambient temperatures.

Coolant and antifreeze

Use only silicate-free long life coolant (LLC) antifreeze approved for the vehicle. Consult a workshop.

The system is factory filled with coolant designed for excellent corrosion protection and frost protection down to approx. -36 °C. In

northern countries with very low temperatures the factory filled coolant provides frost protection down to approx. -50 °C. This concentration should be maintained all year round. The use of additional coolant additives that intend to give additional corrosion protection or seal against minor leaks can cause function problems. Liability for consequences resulting from the use of additional coolant additives will be rejected.

Brake and clutch fluid

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

Collision damage repair

Paint thickness

Due to production techniques, the thickness of the paint can vary between 50 and 400 µ m.

Therefore, different paint thickness is no indicator for a collision damage repair.

Vehicle data recording and privacy

Event data recorders

Data storage modules in the vehicle

A large number of electronic components of your vehicle contain data storage modules temporarily or permanently storing technical data about the condition of the vehicle, events and errors. In general, this technical information documents the condition of parts, modules, systems or the environment:

  • Operating conditions of system components (e.g. filling levels).
  • Status messages of the vehicle and its single components (e.g. number of wheel revolutions / rotational speed, deceleration, lateral acceleration).
  • Dysfunctions and defects in important system components.

  • Vehicle reactions in particular driving situations (e.g. inflation of an airbag, activation of the stability regulation system).

  • Environmental conditions (e.g. temperature).

These data are exclusively technical and help identifying and correcting errors as well as optimizing vehicle functions.

Motion profiles indicating travelled routes cannot be created with these data.

If services are used (e.g. repair works, service processes, warranty cases, quality assurance), employees of the service network (manufacturer included) are able to read out this technical information from the event and error data storage modules applying special diagnostic devices. If required, you will receive further information at these workshops. After an error has been corrected, the data are deleted from the error storage module or they are constantly overwritten.

188 Customer information

When using the vehicle, situations may occur in which these technical data related to other information (accident report, damages on the vehicle, witness statements etc.) may be associated with a specific person - possibly, with the assistance of an expert.

Additional functions contractually agreed upon with the client (e.g. vehicle location in emergency cases) allow the transmission of particular vehicle data from the vehicle.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)

RFID technology is used in some vehicles for functions such as tyre pressure monitoring and ignition system security. It is also used in connection with conveniences such as radio remote controls for door locking/unlocking and starting, and in-vehicle transmitters for garage door openers. RFID technology in Vauxhall vehicles does not use or record personal information or link with any other Vauxhall system containing personal information.
