Airbag system The airbag system consists of a number of individual systems. When triggered the airbags inflate within milliseconds. They also deflate so quickly that it is often unnoticeable during the collision.

9 Warning

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

Note 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 stick anything on 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 might 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. Control indicator v for airbag systems 3 78.

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. These can be identified by the word AIRBAG.

Additionally there is a warning label on the side of the instrument panel, visible when the front passenger door is open, or on the passenger sun visor. The front airbag system is triggered in the event of an accident of a certain severity. The ignition must be on.

42 Seats, restraints

The forward movement of the front seat occupants is decelerated, thereby considerably reducing the risk of injury to the upper body and head.

9 Warning

Optimum protection is only provided when the seat is in the proper position. Seat position 3 35. Keep the area in which the airbag inflates clear of obstructions.

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. This can be identified by the word AIRBAG. The side airbag system is triggered in the event of an accident of a certain severity. The ignition must be on.

The risk of injury to the upper body and pelvis in the event of a side-on collision is considerably reduced.

9 Warning

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

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

Seats, restraints 43

Curtain airbag system

The curtain airbag system consists of an airbag in the roof frame on each side. This can be identified by the word AIRBAG on the roof pillars. The curtain airbag system is triggered in the event of an accident of a certain severity. The ignition must be on.

The risk of injury to the head in the event of a side impact is considerably reduced.

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 Front airbag and side airbag systems for the front passenger seat must be deactivated if a child restraint system is to be fitted on this seat. The curtain airbag system, the belt tensioners and all driver airbag systems will remain active.

There is a warning label on the side of the instrument panel, visible when the front passenger door is open.

Child restraints Child restraint systems We recommend the Vauxhall child restraint system which is tailored specifically to the vehicle. 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.

9 Warning

When using a child restraint system on the front passenger seat, the airbag systems for the front passenger seat must be deactivated; if not, the triggering of the airbags poses a risk of fatal injury to the child.

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

Airbag deactivation 3 43.

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 makes sure that the child's backbone, which is still very weak, is under less strain in the event of an accident. Suitable are restraint systems that comply with ECE 44-03 or ECE 44-04. 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.

46 Seats, restraints

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. Note Do not stick anything on the child restraint systems and do not cover them with any other materials. A child restraint system which has been subjected to stress in an accident must be replaced.

Starting the vehicle at low temperatures The start of the engine without additional heaters is possible down to -25 for diesel engines and -30 C for petrol engines. Required is an engine oil with the correct viscosity, the correct fuel, performed services and a sufficiently charged battery. With temperatures below -30 C the automatic transmission need a warming phase of approx. 5 minutes. The selector lever must be in position P.

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.

Driving and operating 113

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. Overrun cut- off is deactivated if catalytic converter temperature is high.

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. It starts the engine automatically as soon as the clutch is depressed. A battery sensor ensures that an Autostop is only performed if the 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 the eco button. The deactivation is indicated by the LED in the button going off.

Autostop If the vehicle is at a low speed or at a standstill, activate an Autostop as follows: Depress the clutch pedal shift the selector lever to neutral release the clutch pedal The engine will be switched off while the ignition stays on.

An Autostop is indicated by the needle at the AUTOSTOP position in the tachometer. During an Autostop, the heating performance, power steering and brake performance will be maintained.

If the bonnet is not fully closed, a warning message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre. If an electrical accessory, e.g. a portable CD player, is connected to the power outlet, a brief power drop during restart might be noticeable.

Parking Do not park the vehicle on an easily

ignitable surface. The high temperature of the exhaust system could ignite the surface.

Always apply parking brake without pressing release button. Apply as firmly as possible on downhill or uphill slopes. Depress the foot brake at the same time to reduce operating force.

Switch off the engine and ignition. Turn the steering wheel until the steering wheel lock engages.

If the vehicle is on a level surface or uphill slope, engage first gear or set the selector lever to P before switching off the ignition. On an uphill slope, turn the front wheels away from the kerb. If the vehicle is on a downhill slope, engage reverse gear or set the selector lever to P before switching off the ignition. Turn the front wheels towards the kerb.

Lock the vehicle and activate the anti-theft locking system and the anti-theft alarm system.

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.

Diesel particle filter The diesel particle filter system filters harmful soot particles out of the exhaust gases. The system includes a self-cleaning function that runs automatically during driving. The filter is cleaned by burning off the soot particles at high temperature. This process takes place automatically under set driving conditions and may take up to 25 minutes. Fuel

116 Driving and operating

consumption may be higher during this period. The emission of smells and smoke during this process is normal.

Under certain driving conditions, e.g. short distances, the system cannot clean itself automatically. If the filter requires cleaning and previous driving conditions did not enable automatic cleaning, control indicator ! flashes. Continue driving, keeping engine speed above 2000 rpm. Shift down if necessary. Diesel particle filter cleaning is then started.

Stopping the journey or switching off the engine during cleaning is not recommended.

Caution

If the cleaning process is interrupted more than once, there is a great risk of provoking severe engine damage.

Cleaning takes place quickest at high engine speeds and loads.

The control indicator ! extinguishes as soon as the self-cleaning operation is complete. If A illuminates additionally, cleaning is not possible, seek the assistance of a workshop.

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

Driving and operating 117

Caution

Fuel grades other than those listed on pages 3 130, 3 195 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.

If the gear does not engage, set the lever to neutral, release the clutch pedal and depress again; then repeat gear selection. Do not grind the clutch unnecessarily. When operating, depress the clutch pedal completely. Do not use the pedal as a foot rest.

Caution

It is not advisable to drive with the hand resting on the selector lever.

Driving and operating 121

Manual transmission automated The Easytronic transmission permits manual (manual mode) or automatic gear shifting (automatic mode), both with automatic clutch control.

Transmission display

Shows the mode and current gear. The display flashes for a few seconds when A, M or R is selected with the engine running and the foot brake not activated.

Starting the engine Depress the foot brake when starting the engine. If the foot brake is not depressed, j illuminates in the instrument, "N" flashes in the transmission display and the engine cannot be started. Starting is not possible if all brake lights fail. When the foot brake is depressed, the transmission automatically shifts to N upon start. There may be a slight delay.

Selector lever

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. A = Switch between automatic and

manual mode. The transmission display shows A or M.

R = Reverse gear. Engage only when vehicle is stationary.

+ = Shift to a higher gear. - = Shift to a lower gear.

Starting off Depress the foot brake and move the selector lever to A, + or -. The 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.

122 Driving and operating

If neither the accelerator nor the brake pedal are depressed, no gear is engaged and A or R flashes for a brief time in the display.

Stopping the vehicle In A, 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.

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 A (or + or -) in a repeat pattern. Do not race the engine and avoid sudden acceleration.

Parking Apply the parking brake. The most recently engaged gear (see transmission display) remains engaged. With N, no gear is engaged. When the ignition is switched off the transmission no longer responds to movement of the selector lever.

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. 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.

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.

Fault To prevent damage to the manual transmission automated, the clutch is engaged automatically at high clutch temperatures. A illuminates in the event of a fault. Continued driving is possible. Manual mode cannot be used for shifting.

If F appears in the transmission display, continued driving is not possible. Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop.

Interruption of power supply The clutch is not disengaged if there is an interruption of the power supply when a gear is engaged. The vehicle cannot move. If the battery is discharged, start the vehicle using jump leads 3 178. If the cause of the fault is not a discharged battery, seek the assistance of a workshop.

If the vehicle must be moved out of the flow of traffic, disengage the clutch as follows: 1. Apply parking brake and switch off

ignition. 2. Open the bonnet 3 144. 3. Clean the transmission around

the cap so that no dirt can get into the opening when the cap is removed.

4. Rotate cap to slacken and remove by lifting upwards.

Driving and operating 125

5. Using a flat-head screwdriver, turn the adjusting screw under the cap clockwise until clear resistance can be felt. The clutch has now been disengaged.

6. Refit cleaned cap. The cap must be in full contact with the housing.

Caution

Do not turn beyond the resistance since this could damage the transmission.

Caution

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

Seek the immediate assistance of 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 you depress the brake pedal firmly. You need to use considerably more force for this. The braking distance is extended. Seek the assistance of a workshop before continuing your 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 79.

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 though 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 80.

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

126 Driving and operating

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.

Parking brake

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 foot brake at the same time. Control indicator R 3 79.

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 foot brake 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. The hill start assist is not active during an Autostop.

Driving and operating 127

Ride control systems Electronic stability program Electronic stability program (ESPPlus) improves driving stability when necessary, regardless of the type of road surface or tyre grip. It also prevents the drive wheels from spinning. As soon as the vehicle starts to swerve (understeer/oversteer), engine output is reduced and the wheels are braked individually. This considerably improves the driving stability of the vehicle on slippery road surfaces. ESPPlus is operational as soon as control indicator v extinguishes. When ESPPlus comes into action v flashes.

9 Warning

Do not let this special safety feature tempt you into taking risks when driving. Adapt speed to the road conditions.

Control indicator v 3 80.

Deactivation

ESPPlus can be deactivated by pressing the v button.

When ESPPlus is deactivated the control indicator v illuminates. ESPoff also appears in the service display.

9 Warning

Do not deactivate ESPPlus if a run-flat tyre has lost pressure.

ESPPlus is reactivated by pressing the v button. ESPon appears in the service display. ESPPlus is also reactivated the next time the ignition is switched on.

128 Driving and operating

Driver assistance systems Cruise control The cruise control can store and maintain speeds of approx. 20 to 120 mph. Deviations from the stored speeds may occur when driving uphill or downhill. For safety reasons the cruise control cannot be activated until the foot brake has been operated once.

Do not use the cruise control if it is not advisable to maintain a constant speed. With automatic transmission or manual transmission automated, only activate cruise control in automatic mode. Control indicator m 3 83.

Activation Turn switch m up and release: the current speed is stored and maintained. Vehicle speed can be increased by depressing the accelerator pedal. When the accelerator pedal is released, the previously stored speed is resumed. The speed is saved until the ignition is switched off. To resume the saved speed, turn switch g downwards at a speed above 20 mph.

Increase speed With cruise control active, turn switch m upwards and hold, or turn briefly several times: speed is increased continuously or in small increments. When switch m is released the current speed is stored and maintained.

Reduce speed With cruise control active, turn switch g downwards and hold, or turn briefly several times: speed is reduced continuously or in small increments. When switch g is released the current speed is stored and maintained.

Deactivation Briefly press the button: cruise control is deactivated. Automatic deactivation: Vehicle speed below approx.

20 mph The brake pedal is depressed The clutch pedal is depressed Selector lever in N.

Driving and operating 129

To reset the saved speed, turn switch g downwards.

Parking assist

The parking assist makes parking easier by measuring the distance between the vehicle and obstacles, and giving acoustic signals. It is the driver, however, who bears full responsibility for the parking manoeuvre. The system consists of four ultrasonic parking sensors in the rear bumper. Control indicator r 3 80.

Activation When reverse gear is engaged, the system is activated automatically.

Indication An obstacle is indicated by a buzzing sound. The interval between the sounds becomes shorter as the vehicle gets closer to the obstacle. When the distance is less than 30 cm, the buzzing is continuous.

Deactivation The system automatically switches itself off when reverse gear is disengaged.

If the vehicle is equipped with the r button, the system can be deactivated by pressing the button.

Fault In the event of a fault in the system, r illuminates. Additionally, r flashes if a malfunction of the system due to temporary conditions like snow covered sensors is detected. Control indicator r 3 80.

Important hints for using the 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.

130 Driving and operating

Caution

Performance of the sensors can be reduced when sensors are covered, e.g. by ice or snow. Performance of the parking assist systems can be reduced due to heavy loading. Special conditions apply if there are taller vehicles involved (e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans, vans). Object identification 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 will not avoid a collision with objects which are out of the detection range of the sensors.

Note The parking assist system automatically detects factory-fitted towing equipment. It is deactivated when the connector is plugged in. The sensor may detect a non- existent object (echo disturbance) caused by external acoustic or mechanical disturbances. Note The parking assist is deactivated when the rear carrier system is extended.

Fuel Fuel for petrol engines Only use unleaded fuel that complies with European standard EN 228 or E DIN 51626-1 or equivalent. Your engine is capable of running with E10 fuel that fulfills these standards. E10 fuel contains up to 10 % bioethanol. Use fuel with the recommended octane rating 3 195. Use of fuel with too low an octane rating can reduce engine power and torque and slightly increases fuel consumption.

Caution

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

Driving and operating 131

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 and may affect your warranty.

Caution

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

Fuel for diesel engines Only use diesel fuel that complies with EN 590. In countries outside the European Union use Euro-Diesel fuel with a sulfur concentration below 50 ppm.

Caution

Use of fuel that does not comply to EN 590 or similar can lead to engine powerloss, increased wear or engine damage and may affect your warranty.

Do not use marine diesel oils, heating oils, Aquazole and similar diesel- water emulsions. Diesel fuels must not be diluted with fuels for petrol engines.

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 5 - 10 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

132 Driving and operating

Pressing the LPG button 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. 1 off = petrol operation 1 illuminates = liquid gas

operation 1 flashes = no switching is

possible, one type of fuel is empty

As soon as the liquid gas tanks are empty, petrol operation is automatically engaged until the ignition is switched off. 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 liquid gas mode. In extreme situations, the system may also switch back to petrol mode if the minimum requirements are not fulfilled. 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.

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 possible, close the manual shut-off valve on the multivalve. The multivalve is located on the liquid gas tank in the load compartment, underneath the rear floor cover.

Driving and operating 133

Turn the thumb wheel clockwise. If no further gas odour is perceptible when the manual shut-off valve is closed, the vehicle can be used in petrol mode. 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. Note In the event of an accident, switch off the ignition and lights. Close the manual shut-off valve on multivalve.

Refuelling

9 Danger

Before refuelling, switch off engine and any external heaters with combustion chambers (identified by sticker on fuel filler flap). Switch off any mobile phones. Follow the operating and safety instructions of the filling station when refuelling.

9 Danger

Fuel consumption - CO2- Emissions The fuel consumption (combined) of the model Vauxhall Corsa is within a range of 37 to 85 mpg. The CO2 emission (combined) is within a range of 88 to 178 g/km. For the values specific for your vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of Conformity provided with your vehicle or other national registration documents.

General information The official fuel consumption and specific CO2 emission figures quoted relate to the EU base model with standard equipment. Fuel consumption data and CO2 emission data are determined according to regulation R (EC) No. 715/2007 (in the version respectively applicable), taking into consideration the vehicle weight in running order, as specified by the regulation. The figures are provided only for the purpose of comparison between different vehicle variants and must not be taken as a guarantee for the actual fuel consumption of a particular vehicle. Additional equipment may result in slightly higher results than the stated consumption and CO2 figures. Furthermore, fuel consumption is dependent on personal driving style as well as road and traffic conditions.

Driving and operating 137

Towing General information Only use towing equipment that has been approved for your vehicle. Entrust retrofitting of towing equipment to a workshop. It may be necessary to make changes that affect the cooling system, heat shields or other equipment. Fitting of towing equipment could cover the opening of the towing eye. If this is the case use the coupling ball bar for towing. Always keep the coupling ball bar in the vehicle.

Driving characteristics and towing tips Before attaching a trailer, lubricate the coupling ball. However, do not do so if a stabiliser, which acts on the coupling ball, is being used to reduce snaking movements. For trailers with low driving stability and caravan trailers with a permitted gross vehicle weight of more than

1000 kg a speed of 50 mph must not be exceeded; the use of a stabiliser is recommended. If the trailer starts snaking, drive more slowly, do not attempt to correct the steering and brake sharply if necessary. When driving downhill, drive in the same gear as if driving uphill and drive at a similar speed. Adjust tyre pressure to the value specified for full load 3 212.

Trailer towing Trailer loads The permissible trailer loads are vehicle and engine-dependent maximum values which must not be exceeded. The actual trailer load is the difference between the actual gross weight of the trailer and the actual coupling socket load with the trailer coupled.

The permissible trailer loads are specified in the vehicle documents. In general, they are valid for gradients up to max. 12 % The permitted trailer loads apply up to the specified incline and up to an altitude of 1000 metres above sea level. Since engine power decreases as altitude increases due to the air becoming thinner, therefore reducing climbing ability, the permissible gross train weight also decreases by 10 % for every 1000 metres of additional altitude. The gross train weight does not have to be reduced when driving on roads with slight inclines (less than 8 %, e.g. motorways). The permissible gross train weight must not be exceeded. This weight is specified on the identification plate 3 190.

Vertical coupling load The vertical coupling load is the load exerted by the trailer on the coupling ball. It can be varied by changing the weight distribution when loading the trailer.

138 Driving and operating

The maximum permissible vertical coupling load (vehicles with 1.2 engine: 45 kg, other engines: 55 kg) is specified on the towing equipment identification plate and in the vehicle documents. Always aim for the maximum load, especially in the case of heavy trailers. The vertical coupling load should never fall below 25 kg.

Rear axle load When the trailer is coupled and the towing vehicle fully loaded, the permissible rear axle load (see identification plate or vehicle documents) for passenger vehicles may be exceeded by 45 kg and the gross vehicle weight rating by 50 kg (on vehicles with 1.2 engine and specific rear axle application: 30 kg). For vans the permitted rear axle load may be exceeded by 25 kg. The permitted total load may be exceeded by the following amounts with the engines specified below: A10XEP = 30 kg A12XEL, A12XER, Z12XEP

= 25 kg

Z13DTH, A13DTR = 40 kg Z13DTJ, Z13DTE, A13DTE, A13DTC

= 35 kg

Trailer operation is not permitted for vans with tyre size 215/45 R 17. If the permitted rear axle load is exceeded a maximum speed of 60 mph applies. If lower national maximum speeds are specified for trailer operation, they must be complied with.

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.

Tyres Tyres of size 185/60 R 15 are only approved as winter tyres. Tyres of size 185/65 R 15 are only approved as winter tyres on vehicles with a sports chassis. We recommend that you contact a workshop in order to find out whether your vehicle is equipped with a sports chassis.

Winter tyres Winter tyres improve driving safety at temperatures below 7 C and should therefore be fitted on all wheels. Tyres of size 185/60 R 15, 185/65 R 15, 185/70 R 14, 195/55 R 16 and 205/50 R 16 are permitted as winter tyres. Tyres of size 195/60 R 15, 215/45 R 171) and 225/35 R 18 must not be used as winter tyres. Run-flat winter tyres may only be used on factory approved alloy wheels. In accordance with country-specific regulations, affix the speed sticker in the driver's field of view.

Tyre designations E.g. 185/65 R 15 88 T 185 = Tyre width, mm 65 = Cross-section ratio (tyre

height to tyre width), % R = Belt type: Radial

RF = Type: RunFlat 15 = Wheel diameter, inches 88 = Load index e.g. 88 is

equivalent to 567 kg T = 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

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 deflation detection system. Remove the valve cap key from the fuel filler flap and use it to unscrew the valve cap.

1) Corsa VXR: Permitted as winter tyres without tyre chains.

170 Vehicle care

Tyre pressure 3 212 and on the label on the inside of the fuel filler flap or on the front right door frame. The tyre pressure data refers to cold tyres. It applies to summer and winter tyres. Always inflate the spare tyre to the pressure specified for full load. 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.

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.

Tyre deflation detection system The tyre deflation detection system continually checks the rotation speed of all four tyres. If a tyre loses pressure the control indicator w illuminates red. Stop immediately and check tyre pressure. Control indicator w 3 81.

System initialisation

After tyre pressure correction or wheel change, the system must be initiated: Switch on the ignition, press and hold the DDS button for approx. 4 seconds, control indicator w flashes three times.

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).

Vehicle care 171

For safety reasons it is recommended that the tread depth of the wheels 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. If there is more wear at the front than the rear, swap round front wheels and rear wheels periodically. Ensure that the direction of rotation of the wheels remains the same.

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 and make other vehicle modifications. After converting to a different tyre size, have the label with tyre pressures replaced.

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.

172 Vehicle care

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.

Tyre chains are only permitted on tyre sizes 175/70 R 14, 185/60 R 15, 185/65 R 152), 185/70 R 14, 195/55 R 162) and 205/50 R16. Tyre chains are only approved on tyres of size 185/60 R 15 on vehicles with a sports chassis. We recommend that you contact a workshop in order to find out whether your vehicle is equipped with a sports chassis. Tyre chains are not permitted on tyre sizes 195/60 R 15, 215/45 R 17 and 225/35 R18. 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 side wall near the rim cannot be repaired with the tyre repair kit.

9 Warning

Do not drive faster than 50 mph. Do not use for a lengthy period. Steering and handling may be affected.

If you have a flat tyre: Apply the parking brake and engage first gear, reverse gear or P.

The tyre repair kit is in the stowage compartment in the load compartment.

2) Not permitted when used as winter tyres.

9. The compressor pressure gauge briefly indicates up to 6 bar whilst the sealant bottle is emptying (approx. 30 seconds). Then the pressure starts to drop.

10. All of the sealant is pumped into the tyre. Then the tyre is inflated.

11. The prescribed tyre pressure should be obtained within 10 minutes. Tyre pressure 3 212. When the correct pressure is obtained, switch off the

compressor by pressing the on/off switch again. If the prescribed tyre pressure is not obtained within 10 minutes, remove the tyre repair kit. Move the vehicle one tyre rotation. Reattach the tyre repair kit and continue the filling procedure for 10 minutes. If the prescribed tyre pressure is still not obtained, the tyre is too badly damaged. Seek the assistance of a workshop. Release excess tyre pressure using the ] button. Do not run the compressor for longer than 10 minutes.

12. Push catch on bracket to remove sealant bottle from bracket. Screw the tyre inflation hose to the free connection of the sealant bottle. This prevents sealant from escaping. Stow tyre repair kit in load compartment.

13. Remove any excess sealant using a cloth.

14. Take the label indicating maximum permitted speed from the sealant bottle and affix in the driver's field of view.

15. Continue driving immediately so that sealant is evenly distributed in the tyre. After driving approx. 6 miles (but no more than 10 minutes), stop and check tyre pressure. Screw compressor air hose directly onto tyre valve and compressor when doing this. If tyre pressure is more than 1.3 bar, set it to the correct value. Repeat the procedure until there is no more loss of pressure. If the tyre pressure has fallen below 1.3 bar, the vehicle must not be used. Seek the assistance of a workshop.

16. Stow away tyre repair kit in load compartment.

Vehicle care 175

Note The driving characteristics of the repaired tyre are severely affected, therefore have this tyre replaced. If unusual noise is heard or the compressor becomes hot, turn compressor off for at least 30 minutes. The built-in safety valve opens at a pressure of 7 bar (102 psi). Note the expiry date of the kit. After this date its sealing capability is no longer guaranteed. Pay attention to storage information on sealant bottle. Replace the used sealant bottle. Dispose of the bottle as prescribed by applicable laws. The compressor and sealant can be used from approx. -30 C. The adapters supplied can be used to pump up other items e.g. footballs, air mattresses, inflatable dinghies etc. They are located on the underside of the compressor. To remove, screw on compressor air hose and withdraw adapter.

Wheel changing Some vehicles are equipped with a tyre repair kit instead of a spare wheel 3 172. Make the following preparations and observe the following information: Park the vehicle on a level, firm and

non-skid surface. The front wheels must be in the straight-ahead position.

Apply the parking brake and engage first gear, reverse gear or P.

Remove the spare wheel 3 177. Never change more than one wheel

at a time. Use the jack only to change wheels

in case of puncture, not for seasonal winter or summer tyre change.

If the ground on which the vehicle is standing is soft, a solid board (max. 1 cm thick) should be placed under the jack.

No people or animals may be in the vehicle when it is jacked-up.

Never crawl under a jacked-up vehicle.

Do not start the vehicle when it is raised on the jack.

Before screwing in the wheel bolts, clean them and lightly coat the taper of each wheel bolt with commercially available grease.

1. Pull off the wheel cover with the hook. Vehicle tools 3 167. For wheel covers with visible wheel bolts: The cover can remain on the wheel. Do not remove the retaining rings on the wheel bolts.

176 Vehicle care

Alloy wheels: Disengage wheel bolt caps with a suitable screwdriver and remove. To protect the wheel, place a soft cloth between the screwdriver and the alloy wheel.

2. Install the wheel wrench ensuring that it locates securely and slacken each bolt by half a turn.

3. Ensure the jack is positioned correctly with the vehicle jacking points. With versions of the Corsa VXR with sill panelling or retrofitted sill panelling, no jack must be used. The vehicle may be damaged.

4. Set the jack to the necessary height. Position it directly below the jacking point in a manner that prevents it from slipping. Variant 1:

Vehicle care 177

Variant 2:

Attach jack handle and with the jack correctly aligned rotate handle until wheel is clear of the ground.

5. Unscrew the wheel bolts. 6. Change the wheel. 7. Screw in the wheel bolts. 8. Lower vehicle. 9. Install the wheel wrench ensuring

that it locates securely and tighten each bolt in a crosswise sequence. Tightening torque is 110 Nm.

10. Align the valve hole in the wheel cover with the tyre valve before installing. Install wheel bolt caps.

11. Stow the replaced wheel 3 172 and the vehicle tools 3 167.

12. Check the tyre pressure of the installed tyre and also the wheel bolt torque as soon as possible.

Have the defective tyre renewed or repaired.

Spare wheel Some vehicles are equipped with a tyre repair kit instead of a spare wheel.

The spare wheel can be classified as a temporary spare wheel depending on the size compared to the other mounted wheels and country regulations. The spare wheel has a steel rim. Use of a spare wheel that is smaller than the other wheels or together with winter tyres could affect driveability. Have the defective tyre replaced as soon as possible.

The spare wheel is located in the load compartment beneath the floor covering. It is secured with a wing nut.

178 Vehicle care

In the Corsa van the spare wheel is screwed down together with the floor cover. To lift the cover, undo the plastic nut. There is a spacer between the spare wheel and the floor cover. The spare wheel well is not designed for all permitted tyre sizes. If a wheel wider than the spare must be stowed in the spare wheel well after changing wheels, the floor cover will be resting against the protruding wheel. In vans the spacer can be omitted if necessary, or the wheel can be bolted down without the floor cover. Fitting a double load-bay floor in this case in the upper position 3 64. To remove, lift spare wheel, move to a vertical position and remove from above.

Temporary spare wheel Use of the temporary spare wheel could affect driveability. Have the defective tyre renewed or repaired as soon as possible.

Only mount one temporary spare wheel. Do not drive faster than 50 mph. Take curves slowly. Do not use for a long period of time. If your vehicle gets a flat tyre on the rear while towing another vehicle, mount the temporary spare wheel in the front and the full tyre in the rear. Tyre chains 3 172.

Directional tyres Fit directional tyres such that they roll in the direction of travel. The rolling direction is indicated by a symbol (e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall. The following applies to tyres fitted opposing the rolling direction: Driveability may be affected. Have

the defective tyre renewed or repaired as soon as possible.

Drive particularly carefully on wet and snow-covered road surfaces.

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

9 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.

9 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.

Vehicle care 179

Note Any deviation from the instructions given in this paragraph may lead to a temporary deactivation of the stop- start system.

Never expose the battery to naked flames or sparks.

A discharged battery can already freeze at temperatures of 0 C. Defrost the frozen battery before connecting jump leads.

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

Wear eye protection and protective clothing when handling a battery.

Use 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 (25 mm2 for diesel engines).

Do not disconnect the discharged battery from the vehicle.

Switch off all unnecessary electrical consumers.

Do not lean over the battery during jump starting.

Do not allow the terminals of one lead to touch those of the other lead.

The vehicles must not come into contact with each other during the jump starting process.

Apply the parking brake, transmission in neutral, automatic transmission in P.

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. The positive terminal has a cover cap on it. Undo the cap to access the positive terminal.

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 battery as possible, however at least 60 cm.

180 Vehicle care

Position 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 5 minutes, start the other

engine. Start attempts should be made for no longer than 15 seconds at an interval of 1 minute.

3. Allow both engines to idle for approx. 3 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.

6. Close the cover over the positive pole.

Towing Towing the vehicle

Insert a suitable screwdriver in the slot at the lower bend of the cap. Release the cap by carefully moving the screwdriver downwards. Corsa VXR: Disengage and remove cap by pressing on the lower part of the cap.

Vehicle care 181

The towing eye is stowed with the vehicle tools 3 167. The towing eye is located in a recess.

Screw in the towing eye as far as it will go until it stops in a horizontal position. Attach a tow rope or better still a tow rod to the towing eye. The towing eye must only be used for towing and not 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.

Vehicles with automatic transmission must be towed facing forwards, not faster than 50 mph nor further than 60 miles. 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. Manual transmission automated 3 121. After towing, unscrew the towing eye and refit the cover.

Towing another vehicle

Disengage cap at bottom and remove downwards.

182 Vehicle care

The towing eye is stowed with the vehicle tools 3 167.

Screw in the towing eye as far as it will go until it stops in a horizontal position. The lashing eye at the rear underneath the vehicle must never be used as a towing eye. Attach a tow rope or better still a tow rod to the towing eye. The towing eye must only be used for towing and not recovering a vehicle.

Caution

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

After towing, unscrew the towing eye and refit the cover.

Appearance care Exterior care Locks The locks are lubricated at the factory using a high quality lock cylinder grease. Use de-icing agent only when absolutely necessary, as this has a degreasing effect and impairs lock function. After using 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 car washes, select a programme that includes waxing. Bird droppings, dead insects, resin, pollen and the like should be cleaned off immediately, as they contain aggressive constituents which can cause paint damage.

Vehicle care 183

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

Caution

Always use a cleaning agent with a pH value of 4 to 9. 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 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. 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, make sure the heating element inside is not damaged. For mechanical removal of ice, use a sharp-edged ice scraper. Press the scraper firmly against the glass so that no dirt can get under it and scratch the glass. Clean smearing wiper blades with a soft cloth and window cleaner.

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.

184 Vehicle care

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.

Towing equipment Do not clean the coupling ball bar with a steam-jet or high-pressure jet cleaner.

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. 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.

Vehicle care 185

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.

European service intervals Service is due every 20000 miles or 1 year, whichever occurs first. The European schedule is 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, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Malta, Montenegro, Netherlands,

Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom.

International service intervals Service is due every 10000 miles or 1 year, whichever occurs first. The international service intervals are valid for the countries which are not listed in the European service intervals.

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 and maintenance 187

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

Flexible service interval The service interval is based on several parameters depending on usage and calculated using these parameters. If the remaining distance is less than 1000 miles, InSP is displayed with a remaining distance of 600 miles when the ignition is switched on and off. If less than 600 miles remain, InSP is displayed for several seconds. Have the next service performed by a workshop within one week or 300 miles (whichever occurs first).

Display of remaining distance: 1. Switch off ignition. 2. Briefly press the trip odometer

reset button. The odometer reading is shown.

3. Press and hold the reset button for approx. 2 seconds. InSP and the remaining distance are displayed.

Recommended fluids, lubricants and parts Recommended fluids and lubricants Only use products that have been tested and approved. Damage resulting from the use of non- approved materials will not be covered by the warranty.

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

188 Service and maintenance

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 gasoline and diesel engines. If it is unavailable, engine oils of other listed qualities have to be used. Recommendations for gasoline 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 3 192.

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 3 192.

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

Coolant and antifreeze Use only silicate-free long life coolant (LLC) antifreeze. The system is factory filled with coolant designed for excellent corrosion protection and frost protection down to approx. -28 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 Only use high-performance brake fluid approved for the vehicle, consult a workshop. Over time, brake fluid absorbs moisture which will reduce braking effectiveness. The brake fluid should therefore be replaced at the specified interval.

Service and maintenance 189

Brake fluid should be stored in a sealed container to avoid water absorption. Ensure brake fluid does not become contaminated.

Customer information

Vehicle data recording and privacy ....................................... 219

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.

220 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 deflation detection 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.
