Beyond the warning required by ECE R94.02, for safety reasons a forward-facing child restraint system must only be used subject to the instructions and restrictions in the table 3 47. The airbag label is located on both sides of the front passenger sun visor. Airbag deactivation 3 44.

Front airbag system The front airbag system consists of one airbag in the steering wheel and one in the instrument panel on the front passenger side. The location is identified by the word AIRBAG. The front airbag system is triggered in the event of a front-end impact of a certain severity. The ignition must be switched on.

The inflated airbags cushion the impact, thereby reducing the risk of injury to the upper body and head of the front seat occupants considerably.

9 Warning

Optimum protection is only provided when the seat is in the proper position. Seat position 3 33. Keep the area in which the airbag inflates clear of obstructions.

Seats, restraints 43

Fit the seat belt correctly and engage securely. Only then is the airbag able to protect.

Side airbag system

The side airbag system consists of an airbag in each front seat backrest. The location is identified by the word AIRBAG. The side airbag system is triggered in the event of a side impact of a certain severity. The ignition must be switched on.

The inflated airbags cushion the impact, thereby reducing the risk of injury to the upper body and pelvis in the event of a side-on collision considerably.

9 Warning

Keep the area in which the airbag inflates clear of obstructions.

Notice Only use protective seat covers that have been approved for the vehicle. Be careful not to cover the airbags.

Curtain airbag system The curtain airbag system consists of an airbag in the roof frame on each side. The location is identified by the word AIRBAG on the roof pillars. The curtain airbag system is triggered in the event of a side-on impact of a certain severity. The ignition must be switched on.

The inflated airbags cushion the impact, thereby reducing the risk of injury to the head in the event of a side-on impact considerably.

44 Seats, restraints

9 Warning

Keep the area in which the airbag inflates clear of obstructions. The hooks on the handles in the roof frame are only suitable for hanging up light articles of clothing, without coat hangers. Do not keep any items in these clothes.

Airbag deactivation The front passenger airbag system must be deactivated for child restraint system on the passenger seat according to the instructions in the table 3 47. The side airbag and curtain airbag systems, the belt pretensioners and all driver airbag systems will remain active.

Use the ignition key to choose the switch position: *OFF : front passenger airbag is

deactivated and will not inflate in the event of a collision. Control indicator *OFF illuminates continuously in the centre console

VON : front passenger airbag is active

9 Danger

Deactivate passenger airbag only in combination with the use of a child restraint system, subject to the instructions and restrictions in the table 3 47. Otherwise, there is a risk of fatal injury for a person occupying a seat with a deactivated front passenger airbag.

Seats, restraints 45

If the control indicator V illuminates for approx. 60 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the front passenger airbag system will inflate in the event of a collision. If both control indicators are illuminated at the same time, there is a system failure. The status of the system is not discernible, therefore no person is allowed to occupy the front passenger seat. Contact a workshop immediately. Change status only when the vehicle is stopped with the ignition off. Status remains until the next change. Control indicator for airbag deactivation 3 84.

Child restraints Child restraint systems We recommend the following Vauxhall child restraint system which are tailored specifically to the vehicle: Group 0, Group 0+

Airbag deactivation 3 44. Airbag label 3 39.

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.

46 Seats, restraints

Suitable are restraint systems that comply with valid UN ECE regulations. Check local laws and regulations for mandatory use of child restraint systems. Ensure that the child restraint system to be installed is compatible with the vehicle type. Ensure that the mounting location of the child restraint system within the vehicle is correct, see following tables. 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.

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 3 213) 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. Do not drive faster than 75 mph. The permissible roof load is 50 kg. The roof load is the combined weight of the roof rack and the load.

(manual transmission). brake pedal not operated

(manual transmission automated).

timeout occurred.

Turbo engine warm-up Upon start-up, engine available torque may be limited for a short time, especially when the engine temperature is cold. The limitation is to allow the lubrication system to fully protect the engine.

Overrun cut-off The fuel supply is automatically cut off during overrun, i.e. when the vehicle is driven with a gear engaged but accelerator is released.

126 Driving and operating

Stop-start system The stop-start system helps to save fuel and to reduce the exhaust emissions. When conditions allow, it switches off the engine as soon as the vehicle is at a low speed or at a standstill, e.g. at a traffic light or in a traffic jam. On vehicles with manual transmission, the engine is started automatically as soon as the clutch is depressed. On vehicles with manual transmission automated, the engine is started automatically as soon as the brake pedal is released. A vehicle battery sensor ensures that an Autostop is only performed if the vehicle battery is sufficiently charged for a restart.

Activation The stop-start system is available as soon as the engine is started, the vehicle starts-off and the conditions as stated below in this section are fulfilled.

Deactivation

Deactivate the stop-start system manually by pressing eco. The deactivation is indicated when the LED in the button extinguishes.

Autostop Vehicles with manual transmission: If the vehicle is at a low speed or at a standstill, activate an Autostop as follows: Depress the clutch pedal. Move the selector lever to

neutral. Release the clutch pedal.

The engine will be switched off while the ignition stays on. Vehicles with manual transmission automated: If the vehicle is at a standstill with depressed brake pedal, Autostop is activated automatically. The engine will be switched off while the ignition stays on. The stop-start system will be disabled on inclines of 15% or more.

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 turned off automatically if the vehicle comes to a standstill within a certain time.

Engine exhaust

9 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 page 3 153 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.

Selector lever

132 Driving and operating

Always move the selector lever in the appropriate direction as far as it will go. Upon release, it automatically returns to the centre position. N : neutral position D/M : switch between automatic (D)

and manual (M) shift mode. The transmission display shows either D or M with the selected gear

< : upshifting in manual mode ] : downshifting in manual mode 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 ], the 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 is released.

To start-off without depressing the foot brake, accelerate immediately after engaging a gear as long as D or R flashes. If neither the accelerator nor the brake pedal are depressed, no gear is engaged and D or R flashes for a brief time in the display.

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 or during an Autostop.

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.

Driving and operating 133

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 3 185.

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. A warning message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre. Vehicle messages 3 95. If engine speed is too low, the transmission automatically shifts to a lower gear. If engine speed is too high, the transmission only switches to a higher gear via kickdown.

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

Gear shift indication The symbol R, 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 Following a cold start, the

operating temperature programme increases engine speed to quickly bring the catalytic converter to the required temperature.

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

Kickdown If the accelerator pedal is pressed down completely in automatic mode, the transmission shifts to a lower gear depending on engine speed.

Fault To prevent damage to the manual transmission automated, the clutch is engaged automatically at high clutch temperatures. In the event of a fault, control indicator g illuminates. Additionally, a warning message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre. Vehicle messages 3 95. Continued driving is restricted or not possible, depending on the fault. Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop.

134 Driving and operating

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 R 3 85.

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 u 3 86.

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

Fault

9 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.

Driving and operating 135

Parking brake Manual parking brake

9 Warning

Always apply parking brake firmly without operating the release button, and apply as firmly as possible on a downhill or uphill slope. To release the parking brake, pull the lever up slightly, press the release button and fully lower the lever.

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

Control indicator R 3 85.

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

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.

136 Driving and operating

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 starts 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.

TC is operational after each engine start as soon as control indicator b extinguishes. When TC operates b flashes.

Basic notes on parking assist systems

9 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. Special attention must be paid to low obstacles which can damage the lower part of the bumper.

Caution

Performance of the system can be reduced when sensors are covered, e.g. by ice or snow. Performance of the parking assist system can be reduced due to heavy loading. Special conditions apply if there are taller vehicles in the vicinity (e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans, vans). Object identification and

Driving and operating 151

correct distance indication in the upper part of these vehicles cannot be guaranteed. Objects with a very small reflection cross-section, e.g. objects of narrow size or soft materials, may not be detected by the system. Parking assist systems do not detect objects outside the detection range.

Notice It is possible that the sensor detects a non-existing object caused by echo disturbance from external acoustic noise or mechanical misalignments (sporadic false warnings may occur). Make sure that the front number plate is properly mounted (not bent and no gaps to the bumper on the left or right side) and the sensors are firmly in place. Advanced parking assist system may not respond to changes in the available parking space after initiating a parking manoeuvre. The system may recognize an entry, a

gateway, a courtyard or even a crossing as a parking slot. After selecting reverse gear the system will start a parking manoeuvre. Take care regarding the availability of the suggested parking slot. Surface irregularities, e.g. on construction zones, are not detected by the system. The driver accepts responsibility. Notice If engaging a forward gear and exceeding a certain speed, the rear parking assist will be deactivated when the rear carrier system is extended. If engaging reverse at first, the parking assist will detect the rear carrier system and provide a buzzing sound. Press r or D briefly to deactivate the parking assist. Notice After production, the system requires a calibration. For optimal parking guidance, a driving distance of at least 6 miles, including a number of bends, is required.

Side blind spot alert The Side blind spot alert system detects and reports objects on either side of the vehicle, within a specified "blind spot" zone. The system alerts visually in each exterior mirror, when detecting objects that may not be visible in the interior and exterior mirrors. Side blind spot alert uses some of the advanced parking assist sensors which are located in the front and rear bumper on both sides of the vehicle.

9 Warning

Side blind spot alert does not replace driver vision. The system does not detect:

Vehicles outside the side blind zones which may be rapidly approaching.

Pedestrians, cyclists or animals.

Before changing a lane, always check all mirrors, look over the shoulder and use the turn signal.

152 Driving and operating

When the system detects a vehicle in the side blind zone while driving forwards, either while passing a vehicle or being passed, a yellow warning symbol B will illuminate in the relevant exterior mirror. If the driver then activates the turn signal, the warning symbol B starts flashing yellow as a warning not to change lanes. Notice If the passing vehicle is at least 6 mph faster than the passed vehicle, the warning symbol B in the relevant exterior mirror may not illuminate.

Side blind spot alert is active from speeds of 6 mph up to 87 mph. Driving faster than 87 mph deactivates the system, indicated by low lighting warning symbols B in both exterior mirrors. Reducing the speed again will extinguish the warning symbols. If a vehicle is then detected in the blind zone, the warning symbols B will illuminate as normal on the relevant side. When the vehicle is started, both exterior mirror displays will briefly come on to indicate that the system is operating. The system can be activated or deactivated in the Info-Display, vehicle personalisation 3 98. Deactivation is indicated by a message in the Driver Information Centre.

Detection zones The detection zones start at the rear bumper and extend approx. three metres rearwards and to the sides. The height of the zone is between approx. 0.5 metres and two metres off the ground.

Side blind spot alert is designed to ignore stationary objects, e.g. guardrails, posts, curbs, walls and beams. Parked vehicles or oncoming vehicles are not detected.

Fault Occasional missed alerts can occur under normal circumstances and will increase in wet conditions. Side blind spot alert does not operate when the left or right corners of the rear bumper are covered with mud, dirt, snow, ice, slush, or in heavy rainstorms. Cleaning instructions 3 205. In the event of a fault in the system or if the system does not work due to temporary conditions, a message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre. Seek the assistance of a workshop.

Driving and operating 153

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 3 217. 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 Ptrole Liqufi). 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

154 Driving and operating

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. LED off : petrol operation LED flashes

: checking conditions for fuel transition to liquid gas operation. Illuminates if conditions are fulfilled.

LED illu minates

: liquid gas operation

LED flashes five times and extin guishes

: liquid gas tank is empty or failure in liquid gas system. A message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre.

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

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 Y 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.

Driving and operating 155

9 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 In the event of an accident, switch off the ignition and lights.

Refuelling

9 Danger

Before refuelling, switch off the ignition. Follow the operating and safety instructions of the filling station when refuelling.

9 Danger

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

Caution

In case of misfuelling, do not switch on ignition.

Fuel filler flap is located at right rear side of the vehicle.

The fuel filler flap can only be opened when the vehicle is unlocked. Push the flap to engage. Then open the flap. Turn the fuel filler cap slowly anticlockwise to open.

156 Driving and operating

The fuel filler cap can be retained in the bracket on the fuel filler flap. To refuel, fully insert the pump nozzle and switch it on. After the automatic cut-off, the tank can be topped up by operating the pump nozzle a maximum of two more times.

Caution

Wipe off any overflowing fuel immediately.

To close, turn the fuel filler cap clockwise until it clicks. Close the flap and allow it to engage.

Liquid gas refuelling Follow the operating and safety instructions of the filling station when refuelling. The filling valve for the liquid gas is behind the fuel filler cap.

Vehicles with spare wheel

The jack, the wheel bolt wrench, the tools and two straps for securing a damaged wheel are in the tool box below the load compartment floor cover 3 64.

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. All tyre sizes are permitted as winter tyres 3 223. Tyre size 185/60 R 15 is only permitted as winter tyre.

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 95 : load index e.g. 95 is equivalent

to 690 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.

184 Vehicle care

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 3 219.

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.

Tyre pressure 3 223. The tyre pressure information label on the right 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.

The tyre pressure tables show all possible tyre combinations 3 223. 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.

9 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.

9 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.

Vehicle care 185

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 3 88.

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.

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.

Press MENU to select the Vehicle Information MenuX.

186 Vehicle care

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 3 184.

A detected low tyre pressure condition is indicated by the control indicator w 3 87. If w illuminates, stop as soon as possible and inflate the tyres as recommended 3 223. If w 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 w may illuminate.

If w 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 3 95. 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 w illuminates continuously. A spare wheel or temporary spare wheel is not equipped with pressure sensors. The tyre pressure monitoring system is not operational for these tyres. Control indicator w 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.

Vehicle care 187

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 3 223, and select the appropriate setting in the menu Tyre Load in the Driver Information Centre, Vehicle Information Menu 3 88. 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.

Select: Light for comfort pressure up to

3 people. Eco for Eco pressure up to

3 people. Max for full loading.

Tyre pressure sensor matching process Each TPMS 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 TPMS sensors were replaced. The TPMS sensor

matching process should also be performed after replacing a spare tyre with a road tyre containing the TPMS sensor. The malfunction light w 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

188 Vehicle care

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.

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

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

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

7. Press SET/CLR again to confirm the selection. The horn sounds twice to indicate that the receiver is in relearn mode.

8. Start with the left side front wheel. 9. Place the relearn tool against the

tyre sidewall, near the valve stem. Then press the button to activate

the tyre pressure sensor. A horn chirp confirms that the sensor identification code has been matched to this wheel position.

10. Proceed to the right side front wheel, and repeat the procedure in Step 9.

11. Proceed to the right side rear wheel, and repeat the procedure in Step 9.

12. Proceed to the left side rear wheel, and repeat the procedure in Step 9. The horn sounds twice to indicate that the sensor identification code has been matched to the left side rear wheel, and the tyre pressure sensor matching process is no longer active.

13. Turn off the ignition. 14. Set all four tyres to the

recommended air pressure level as indicated on the tyre information label.

15. Ensure the tyre loading status is set according to the selected pressure 3 88.

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.

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.

Caution

When converting to wheels with 14'', the ground clearance will be reduced. This must be considered when passing over obstacles.

9 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.

9 Warning

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

Steel wheels: When using locking wheel bolts, do not attach wheel covers.

Tyre chains

Tyre chains are only permitted on the front wheels. Always use fine mesh chains that add no more than 10 mm to the tyre tread and the inboard sides (including chain lock).

9 Warning

Damage may lead to tyre blowout.

190 Vehicle care

Tyre chains are only permitted on tyres of size 175/70 R 14, 185/70 R 14, 185/60 R 15, 185/65 R 15 and 195/55 R 16. Tyre chains are not permitted on tyres of size 215/45 R 17 and 225/35 R 18. The use of tyre chains is not permitted on the temporary spare wheel.

Tyre repair kit Minor damage to the tyre tread can be repaired with the tyre repair kit. Do not remove foreign bodies from the tyres. Tyre damage exceeding 4 mm or that is at the tyre's sidewall cannot be repaired with the tyre repair kit.

After towing, unscrew the towing eye. Insert cap and engage in the bumper.

Adam Rocks Towing another vehicle is not possible.

Vehicle care 205

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 Adam without foldable sunroof: 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. Restrictions for filmed or matt painted body parts or decor tapes, see "Polishing and waxing".

Adam with foldable sunroof: The paintwork of your vehicle is exposed to environmental influences, therefore wash your vehicle regularly. When using automatic vehicle washes, select one with textile brushes and select a programme without wax additives. Restrictions for filmed or matt painted body parts or decor tapes, see "Polishing and waxing". When hand washing the vehicle, use clear water and a soft brush, cleaning in grain direction of the textile sun roof. Never use a steam-jet or high- pressure jet cleaner for the sunroof. Wax painted parts of the vehicle regularly, but not the textile of the sunroof.

Caution

After washing or cleaning, the foldable sunroof must be completely dried before opening. If a wet sunroof remains opened for

a longer time, it would be damaged by water spotting and mould growth.

All variants: 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.

206 Vehicle care

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. On vehicles with emblem touchpad: when cleaning with a high-pressure jet cleaner ensure a minimum distance of 30 cm when working around the tailgate to prevent unintended unlocking. 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. The foldable sunroof must not be polished or waxed. When using automatic car washes, select a programme without wax additives. 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. Matt filmed body parts or decor tapes must not be polished, to avoid gleaming. Do not use hot wax

programmes in automatic car washes if the vehicle is equipped with these parts. Matt painted decor parts, e.g. mirror housing cover, must not be polished. Otherwise these parts would become agleam or the colour would be dissolved.

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.

Vehicle care 207

Glass panel 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 glass panel.

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.

Liquid gas system

9 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.

Rear carrier system Clean the rear carrier system with a steam-jet or high-pressure jet cleaner at least once a year. Operate the rear carrier system periodically if not in regular use, in particular during winter.

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.

208 Vehicle care

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.

General information Service information In order to ensure economical and safe vehicle operation and to maintain the value of your vehicle, it is of vital importance that all maintenance work is carried out at the proper intervals as specified. The detailed, up-to-date service schedule for your vehicle is available at the workshop. Service display 3 80.

European service intervals Maintenance of your vehicle is required every 20,000 miles or after 1 year, whichever occurs first, unless otherwise indicated in the service display. A shorter service interval can be valid for severe driving behaviour, e.g. for taxis and police vehicles. The European service intervals are valid for the following countries:

Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia- Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Greenland, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Malta, Monaco, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom. Service display 3 80.

International service intervals Maintenance of your vehicle is required every 10,000 miles or after 1 year, whichever occurs first, unless otherwise indicated in the service display. The international service intervals are valid for the countries which are not listed in the European service intervals. Service display 3 80.

210 Service and maintenance

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 3 80.

Recommended fluids, lubricants and parts Recommended fluids and lubricants Only use products that meet the recommended specifications.

9 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 and diesel engines. If it is unavailable, engine oils of other listed qualities have to be used. Recommendations for petrol engines are also valid for Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) and Ethanol (E85) fuelled engines. Select the appropriate engine oil based on its quality and on the minimum ambient temperature 3 214.

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 3 214.

Service and maintenance 211

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

Coolant and antifreeze Use only silicate-free long life coolant (LLC) antifreeze. Consult a workshop. The system is factory filled with coolant designed for excellent corrosion protection and frost protection down to approx. -28 C. In

northern countries with very low temperatures the factory filled coolant provides frost protection down to approx. -37 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.

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 optimising 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.

230 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.
