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.

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 a side-on impact of a certain severity. The ignition must be switched on.

46 Seats, restraints

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

9 Warning

Keep the area in which the airbag inflates clear of obstructions. The hooks 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 if a child restraint system is to be fitted on this seat. The side airbag and curtain airbag systems, the belt pretensioners and all driver airbag systems will remain active.

The front passenger airbag system can be deactivated via a key- operated switch on the right side of the instrument panel.

Use the ignition key to choose the position: c = front passenger airbags are

deactivated and will not inflate in the event of a collision. Control indicator c illuminates continuously in the centre console. A child restraint system can be installed in accordance with the chart Child restraint installation locations 3 49. No adult person is allowed to occupy the front passenger seat.

9 Danger

Risk of fatal injury for a child using a child restraint system on a seat with activated front passenger airbag. Risk of fatal injury for an adult person on a seat with deactivated front passenger airbag.

Seats, restraints 47

As long as the control indicator c is not illuminated, the front passenger airbag system will inflate in the event of a collision. 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 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 46. Airbag label 3 41.

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 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.

48 Seats, restraints

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

Driving hints Control of the vehicle Never coast with engine not running (except during Autostop) Many systems will not function in this situation (e.g. brake servo unit, power steering). Driving in this manner is a danger to yourself and others. All systems function during an Autostop, but there will be a controlled reduction in power steering assist and vehicle speed is reduced. Stop-start system 3 120.

Pedals To ensure the pedal travel is uninhibited, there must be no mats in the area of the pedals.

Steering If power steering assist is lost because the engine stops or due to a system malfunction, the vehicle can be steered but may require increased effort. Control indicator c 3 86.

Caution

Vehicles equipped with hydraulic power steering: If the steering wheel is turned until it reaches the end of its travel, and is held in that position for more than 15 seconds, damage may occur to the power steering system and there may be loss of power steering assist.

Driving and operating 119

Starting and operating New vehicle running-in Do not brake unnecessarily hard for the first few journeys. During the first drive, smoke may occur because of wax and oil evaporating off the exhaust system. Park the vehicle in the open for a while after the first drive and avoid inhaling the fumes. During the running-in period fuel and engine oil consumption may be higher and the cleaning process of the diesel particle filter may take place more often. Autostop may be inhibited to allow for charging the battery. Diesel particle filter 3 123.

Ignition switch positions

0 = Ignition off 1 = Steering wheel lock released,

ignition off 2 = Ignition on, for diesel engine:

preheating 3 = Starting

Starting the engine

Manual transmission: operate clutch. Automatic transmission: operate brake and move the selector lever to P or N. Do not operate the accelerator pedal. Diesel engine: turn the key to position 2 for preheating until control indicator ! extinguishes. Turn the key briefly to position 3 and release: an automatic procedure operates the starter with a short delay as long as the engine is running, see Automatic Starter Control.

120 Driving and operating

Before restarting or to switch off the engine, turn the key back to position 0. During an Autostop, the engine can be started by depressing the clutch pedal.

Key lock release Some vehicles with an automatic transmission are equipped with an electronic key lock release system. The key lock release is designed to prevent ignition key removal unless the selector lever is in P.

Starting the vehicle at low temperatures Starting 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 requires a warming phase of approx. 5 minutes. The selector lever must be in position P.

Automatic Starter Control This function controls the engine starting procedure. The driver does not have to hold the key in position 3. Once applied, the system will go on starting automatically until the engine is running. Because of the checking procedure, the engine starts running after a short delay. Possible reasons for a non-starting engine: Clutch pedal not operated (manual

transmission) Brake pedal not operated or

selector lever not in P or N (automatic transmission)

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.

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.

Driving and operating 121

Deactivation

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

Autostop If the vehicle is at a low speed or at a standstill, activate an Autostop as follows: Depress the clutch pedal set the lever in 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.

Conditions for an Autostop The stop-start system checks if each of the following conditions is fulfilled: The stop-start system is not

manually deactivated the bonnet is fully closed the driver's door is closed or the

driver's seat belt is fastened

the battery is sufficiently charged and in good condition

the engine is warmed up the engine coolant temperature is

not too high the engine exhaust temperature is

not too high, e.g. after driving with high engine load

the ambient temperature is not too low

the climate control system allows an Autostop

the brake vacuum is sufficient the self-cleaning function of the

diesel particle filter is not active the vehicle has moved since the

last Autostop Otherwise an Autostop will be inhibited. Ambient temperature near to the freezing point can inhibit an Autostop. Certain settings of the climate control system may inhibit an Autostop. See Climate control chapter for more details.

122 Driving and operating

Immediately after motorway driving an Autostop may be inhibited. New vehicle running-in 3 119.

Battery discharge protection To ensure reliable engine restarts, several battery discharge protection features are implemented as part of the stop-start system.

Power saving measures During an Autostop, several electrical features such as auxiliary electric heater or rear window heating are disabled or switched into a power saving mode. The fan speed of the climate control system is reduced to save power.

Restart of the engine by the driver Depress the clutch pedal to restart the engine. The engine start is indicated by the needle at the idle speed position in the tachometer.

If the selector lever is shifted out of neutral before depressing the clutch first, control indicator - illuminates or is shown as a message in the Driver Information Centre. Control indicator - 3 85.

Restart of the engine by the stop-start system The selector lever has to be in neutral to enable an automatic restart. If one of the following conditions occurs during an Autostop, the engine will be restarted automatically by the stop-start system: The stop-start system is manually

deactivated the bonnet is opened the driver's seat belt is unfastened

and the driver's door is opened the engine temperature is too low the battery is discharged the brake vacuum is not sufficient the vehicle starts to move

the climate control system requests an engine start

the air conditioning is manually switched on

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 engine 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.

Driving and operating 123

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 alarm system.

Note 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.

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 without any notification. The filter is cleaned by periodically burning off the soot particles at high temperature. This process takes place automatically under set driving conditions and may

take up to 25 minutes. Typically it needs between 7 and 12 minutes. Autostop is not available and fuel 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 cleaning of the filter is required and if previous driving conditions did not enable automatic cleaning, it will be indicated by control indicator %.

124 Driving and operating

% illuminates when diesel particle filter is full. Start cleaning process as soon as possible. % flashes when diesel particle filter has reached the maximum filling level. Start cleaning process immediately to avoid damage to the engine.

Cleaning process To activate cleaning process, continue driving, keep engine speed above 2000 revolutions per minute. Shift down if necessary. Diesel particle filter cleaning is then started. If control indicator g also illuminates, cleaning is not possible: seek the assistance of a workshop.

Caution

If the cleaning process is interrupted, there is a 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.

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

Caution

Fuel grades other than those listed on pages 3 145, 3 202 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.

Driving and operating 125

Automatic transmission The automatic transmission permits automatic gearshifting (automatic mode) or manual gearshifting (manual mode).

Transmission display

The mode or selected gear is shown in the transmission display.

Selector lever

P = park position, wheels are locked, engage only when the vehicle is stationary and the parking brake is applied

R = reverse gear, engage only when the vehicle is stationary

N = neutral D = automatic mode with all gears M = manual mode

The selector lever is locked in P and can only be moved when the ignition is on and the brake pedal is applied.

To engage P or R, press the release button. The engine can only be started with the lever in position P or N. When position N is selected, press the brake pedal or apply the parking brake before starting. Do not accelerate while engaging a gear. Never depress the accelerator pedal and brake pedal at the same time. When a gear is engaged, the vehicle slowly begins to creep when the brake is released.

126 Driving and operating

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

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

Parking Apply the parking brake and engage P. The ignition key can only be removed when the selector lever is in position P.

Manual mode

Move selector lever to position M. Press button on the selector lever: < = Shift to a higher gear.

] = Shift to a lower gear.

If a higher gear is selected when vehicle speed is too low, or a lower gear when vehicle speed is too high, the shift is not executed. This can cause a message in the Driver-Info-Display. In manual mode no automatic shifting to a higher gear takes place at high engine revolutions.

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 automatic neutral shift function automatically shifts to idling when the vehicle is stopped with a forward gear engaged and the brake pedal is pressed.

Special programmes automatically adapt the shifting points when driving up inclines or down hills.

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

Driving and operating 127

Fault In the event of a fault, g illuminates. Additionally a code number or a vehicle message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre. Vehicle messages 3 94. The transmission no longer shifts automatically. Continued travel is possible with manual shifting. Only the highest gear is available. Depending on the fault, 2nd gear may also be available in manual mode. Shift only when vehicle is at a standstill. Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop.

Interruption of power supply In the event of an interruption of power supply, the selector lever cannot be moved out of the P position. The ignition key cannot be removed from the ignition switch. If the battery is discharged, start the vehicle using jump leads 3 187.

If the battery is not the cause of the fault, release the selector lever. 1. Turn the ignition off and remove

the key. 2. Depress and hold the brake pedal

and pull the parking brake lever up.

3. Remove the cap on the console with a thin object such as a screwdriver.

4. Insert a screwdriver into the opening as far as it will go.

5. Shift selector lever to N. 6. Remove the screwdriver from the

slot. 7. Reinstall the cap. 8. Have the cause of the power

supply interruption remedied by a workshop.

128 Driving and operating

Manual transmission

To engage reverse, with the vehicle stationary wait 3 seconds after depressing the clutch pedal and then press the release button on the selector lever and engage the gear. If the gear does not engage, set the lever to neutral, release the clutch pedal and depress again; then repeat gear selection. Do not slip 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.

Drive systems All-wheel drive The All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system enhances driving characteristics and stability, and helps to achieve the best possible driveability regardless of ground surface. The system is always active and cannot be deactivated. The torque is distributed steplessly between the wheels of the front and rear axle, depending on the driving conditions. Additionally the torque between the rear wheels is distributed depending on the surface. For optimum system performance, the vehicle's tyres should not have varying degrees of wear. When using a temporary spare wheel, the AWD system is automatically disabled. The AWD system will also be temporarily disabled to protect the system from overheating if there is excessive wheel spin. When the system cools down, AWD will be restored.

Driving and operating 129

The deactivation of the AWD system will be indicated by a message on the Driver Information Centre. If a service message or warning code S73 is displayed on the Driver Information Centre, there is a malfunction in the AWD system. Seek the assistance of a workshop. Vehicle messages 3 94, Towing the vehicle 3 189.

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 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 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.

130 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 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 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 131

Ride control systems Traction Control system The Traction Control system (TC) is a component of the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) 3 131. 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 the control indicator b extinguishes. When TC operates b 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 b 3 87.

Deactivation

TC can be switched off when spinning of drive wheels is required:

press button t briefly to deactivate TC, k illuminates. Deactivation is displayed as status message in the Driver Information Centre. TC is reactivated by pressing the t button again. TC is also reactivated the next time the ignition is switched on.

Electronic Stability Control Electronic Stability Control (ESC) 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. ESC is operational after each engine start as soon as the control indicator b extinguishes. When ESC operates b flashes.

132 Driving and operating

9 Warning

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

ESC is reactivated by pressing the t button again. If the TC system was previously disabled, both TC and ESC are reactivated. ESC is also reactivated the next time the ignition is switched on.

Descent control system The Descent control system (DCS) allows the vehicle to travel at a low speed without depressing the foot brake. The vehicle will automatically decelerate to a low speed and remain at that speed when the system is activated. Some noise or vibration from the brake system may be apparent when the system is active.

Caution

Use only when descending steep grades while driving off-road. Do not use when driving on normal road surfaces. Unnecessary usage of the DCS function, such

as while driving on normal roads, may damage the brake system and the ESC function.

Switching on

At speeds below approx. 25 mph, press button u. DCS is operational as soon as control indicator u illuminates.

Activation DCS is active at speeds between 1.2 and 22 mph. Depending on the current speed, the vehicle will be

Deactivation The system can be deactivated. Press button V repeatedly until the following message appears in the Driver Information Centre.

General information

9 Warning

Forward collision alert is just a warning system and does not apply the brakes. When approaching a vehicle ahead too rapidly, it may not provide you enough time to avoid a collision. The driver accepts full responsibility for the appropriate following distance based on traffic, weather and visibility conditions.

The complete attention of the driver is always required while driving. The driver must always be ready to take action and apply the brakes.

System limitations The system is designed to warn only for vehicles, but may react also to other metallic objects. In the following cases, forward collision alert may not detect a vehicle ahead or sensor performance is limited: on winding roads, when weather limits visibility, e.g.

fog, rain, or snow, when the sensor is blocked by

snow, ice, slush, mud, dirt, or windscreen damage.

138 Driving and operating

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. If the vehicle is equipped with a front parking assist the system consists of four additional ultrasonic parking sensors in the front bumper.

Control indicator r 3 86.

Activation

When reverse gear is engaged, the system is activated automatically. The front parking assist can also be activated at a low speed by pressing the r button. An illuminated LED in the parking assist button indicates that the system is ready to operate. 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. If the r button is pressed once within an ignition cycle, the front parking assist is always reactivated when the vehicle speed goes below a certain value.

Deactivation Deactivate the system by pressing the r button. The LED in the button will go out and Park Assist Off will be displayed in the Driver Information Centre. The system is deactivated automatically at a certain speed.

Fault In the event of a fault in the system, r illuminates or a vehicle message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre. Additionally, r illuminates or a vehicle message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre if a

malfunction of the system due to temporary conditions like snow covered sensors is detected. Vehicle messages 3 94.

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 has to be paid to low obstacles which can damage the lower part of the bumper. If such obstacles leave the detection area of the sensors during approach of the vehicle, a continuous warning tone will sound.

Caution

Performance of the sensor 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, like 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.

Rear view camera The rear view camera assists the driver when reversing by displaying a view of the area behind the vehicle. The view of the camera is displayed in the Colour-Info-Display.

9 Warning

The rear view camera does not replace driver vision. Note that objects that are outside the camera's field of view and the

140 Driving and operating

advanced parking assist sensors, e.g. below the bumper or underneath the vehicle, are not displayed. Do not reverse the vehicle by only looking at the Info-Display and check the surrounding behind and around the vehicle before reversing.

Activation Rear view camera is automatically activated when reverse gear is engaged.

Functionality

The camera is mounted in the tailgate handle and has a viewing angle of 130.

Due to the high position of the camera the rear bumper can be seen on the display as a guide to position. The area displayed by the camera is limited. The distance of the image that appears on the display differs from the actual distance.

Warning symbols Warning symbols are indicated as triangles 9 on the picture which show obstacles detected by the rear sensors of the advanced parking assist.

Display settings

Brightness can be set with the up/ down buttons of the multifunction knob. Contrast can be set with left/right buttons of the multifunction knob.

Driving and operating 141

Deactivation The camera is deactivated when a certain forward speed is exceeded or if reverse gear is not engaged for approx. 10 seconds. Activation or deactivation of the rear view camera can be changed in the menu Settings in the Info-Display. Vehicle personalisation 3 99.

there are adverse environmental conditions, e.g. heavy rain, snow, direct sunlight or shadows. In this case No Traffic Sign Detection due to Weather is indicated on the display

144 Driving and operating

traffic signs are incorrectly mounted or damaged

traffic signs do not comply with the Vienna Convention on traffic signs (Wiener bereinkommen ber Straenverkehrszeichen)

Caution

The system is intended to help the driver within a defined speed range to recognise certain traffic signs. Do not ignore traffic signs which are not displayed by the system. The system does not recognise any other than the conventional traffic signs that might give or end a speed limit. Do not let this special feature tempt you into taking risks when driving. Always adapt speed to the road conditions.

The driver assistance systems do not relieve the driver from full responsibility for vehicle operation.

Lane departure warning The lane departure warning system observes the lane markings between which the vehicle is driving via a front camera. The system detects lane changes and warns the driver in the event of an unintended lane change via visual and acoustic signals. Criteria for the detection of an unintended lane change are: no operation of turn signals no brake pedal operation no active accelerator operation or

speeding-up no active steering If the driver is active, no warning will be issued.

Activation

The lane departure warning system is activated by pressing the ) button. The illuminated LED in the button indicates that the system is switched on. When the control indicator ) in the instrument cluster illuminates green, the system is ready to operate. The system is only operable at vehicle speeds above 35 mph and if lane markings are available.

Driving and operating 145

When the system recognises an unintended lane change, the control indicator ) changes to yellow and flashes. Simultaneously a chime sound is activated.

Deactivation The system is deactivated by pressing ) button, the LED in the button extinguishes. At speeds below 35 mph the system is inoperable.

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 to run with E10 fuel that fulfills these standards. E10 fuel contains up to 10 % bioethanol. Use fuel with the recommended octane rating 3 202. 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.

146 Driving and operating

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 sulphur 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 loss of 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

Driving and operating 147

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. LED off = petrol operation LED illu minates

= liquid gas operation

LED 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 i 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. 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 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.

Fuel consumption - CO2- Emissions The values for fuel consumption (combined) of the model Vauxhall Mokka is within a range of 37 to 63 mpg. The values for CO2 emission (combined) is within a range of 158 to 120 g/km. For the values specific to 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 latest applicable version), 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.

152 Driving and operating

Trailer hitch 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 3 207.

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 3 197.

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. The maximum permissible vertical coupling load (75 kg) is specified on the towing equipment identification plate and in the vehicle documents. Always aim for the maximum load,

Driving and operating 153

especially in the case of heavy trailers. The vertical coupling load should never fall below 25 kg.

Rear axle load The permissible axle loads (see identification plate or vehicle documents) must not be exceeded.

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 195/70 R16 and 215/60 R17 are only to be used as winter tyres.

Winter tyres Winter tyres improve driving safety at temperatures below 7 C and should therefore be fitted on all wheels. In accordance with country-specific regulations, affix the speed sticker in the driver's field of view.

Tyre size 195/70 R 16 is only suitable as winter tyre.

Tyre designations E.g. 215/60 R 16 95 H 215 = Tyre width, mm 60 = 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

Vehicle care 175

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 3 207 and on the label on the driver's 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. Tyre pressures differ depending on various options. For the correct tyre pressure value, follow the procedure below: 1. Identify the engine identifier code.

Engine data 3 202. 2. Identify the respective tyre.

The tyre pressure tables show all possible tyre combinations 3 207. 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.

Tyre pressure monitoring system The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) uses radio and sensor technology to check tyre pressure levels. All wheels must be equipped with pressure sensors and the tyres must have the prescribed pressure. Note In countries where the tyre pressure monitoring system is legally required, the use of wheels without pressure sensors will invalidate the vehicle type approval.

176 Vehicle care

The TPMS sensors monitor the air pressure in the tyres and transmit tyre pressure readings to a receiver located in the vehicle. Each tyre, including the spare, should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended on the tyre pressure label. Control indicator w illuminates when one or more tyres are significantly under-inflated. Check the tyre pressure as soon as possible, and inflate them to the recommended pressure 3 175. When the system detects a malfunction, w will flash for approx. one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When w is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tyre pressure as intended.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring Operation The TPMS is designed to warn the driver when a low tyre pressure condition exists. TPMS sensors are mounted onto each tyre and wheel assembly, excluding the spare tyre and wheel assembly. The TPMS sensors monitor the air pressure in the tyres and transmit the tyre pressure readings to a receiver located in the vehicle.

When a low tyre pressure condition is detected, w illuminates. Stop as soon as possible and inflate the tyres to the recommended tyre pressure 3 175.

Additionally a warning message or a warning code is displayed in the Driver Information Centre 3 94. The low tyre pressure control indicator and a warning message or code come on at each ignition cycle until the tyres are inflated to the correct tyre pressure.

TPMS Malfunction Indicator and Message Code The TPMS will not function properly if one or more of the TPMS sensors are missing or inoperable. When the system detects a malfunction, w flashes for approx. one minute and then illuminates. Additionally a warning message or code is displayed. The indication by the TPMS malfunction indicator and a warning message or code will come on at each ignition cycle until the problem is corrected. Some of the conditions that can cause these to come on are: One of the tyres has been replaced

with the spare tyre which does not have a TPMS sensor.

Vehicle care 177

The TPMS sensor matching process was not done or not completed successfully after rotating the tyres. The malfunction light and the warning message or code should go off after successfully completing the sensor matching process. See "TPMS Sensor Matching Process" later in this section.

One or more TPMS sensors are missing or damaged. The warning message or code and the malfunction light should go off when the TPMS sensors are installed and the sensor matching process is performed successfully. Consult your workshop for service.

Replacement tyres or wheels do not match the original equipment tyres or wheels. Tyres and wheels other than those recommended could prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.

Operating electronic devices or being near facilities using radio wave frequencies similar to the

TPMS could cause the TPMS sensors to malfunction. If the TPMS is not functioning properly, it cannot detect or signal a low tyre condition. Consult your workshop for service if the TPMS malfunction light and a warning message or code come on and stay on.

TPMS 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 replacing one or more of the TPMS sensors. 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 and the warning message or code should go off at the next ignition cycle. The sensors are matched to the tyre/wheel positions, using a TPMS relearn tool, in the following order: driver side front tyre, passenger side front tyre, passenger

side rear tyre, and driver side rear. Consult your workshop for service or to purchase a relearn tool. There are two minutes to match the first tyre/ wheel position, and five minutes overall to match all four tyre/wheel positions. If it takes longer, the matching process stops and must be restarted. The TPMS sensor matching process is: 1. Apply the parking brake. 2. Turn the ignition on. 3. Use the MENU button on the turn

signal lever to select the Vehicle Information Menu in the Driver Information Centre (DIC).

4. Use the thumbwheel to scroll to the tyre pressure menu.

5. Press the SET/CLR button to begin the sensor matching process. A message requesting acceptance of the process should display.

178 Vehicle care

6. Press the SET/CLR button again to confirm the selection. The horn sounds twice to signal the receiver is in relearn mode.

7. Start with the driver side front tyre. 8. Place the relearn tool against the

tyre sidewall, near the valve stem. Then press the button to activate the TPMS sensor. A horn chirp confirms that the sensor identification code has been matched to this tyre and wheel position.

9. Proceed to the passenger side front tyre, and repeat the procedure in Step 8.

10. Proceed to the passenger side rear tyre, and repeat the procedure in Step 8.

11. Proceed to the driver side rear tyre, and repeat the procedure in Step 8. The horn sounds twice to indicate the sensor identification code has been matched to the driver side rear tyre, and the TPMS sensor matching process is no longer active.

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

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

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. If there is more wear at the front than the rear, swap round front wheels and rear wheels. Ensure that the direction of rotation of the wheels is the same as before. Tyres age, even if they are not used. We recommend tyre replacement every 6 years.

Vehicle care 179

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 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.

Vehicles with alloy wheels: When mounting steel wheels with alloy wheel nuts, e.g. when changing to winter tyres, the wheel covers cannot be attached to the steel wheels.

Tyre chains

Use tyre chains only on front wheels.

9 Warning

Damage may lead to tyre blowout.

Tyre chains are permitted on tyres of size 195/70 R16. Always use fine mesh chains suitable for sport utility vehicles that add no more than 12 mm to the tyre tread and the inboard sides (including chain lock).

180 Vehicle care

On tyres of size 215/55 R18, special snow chains are only permitted when they are designed with a rotating chain belt on the tyre tread, no chain links on the wheel inboard sides and the chains add no more than 12 mm to the tyre tread. For further information regarding correct snow chain usage for this tyre size, contact a specialized vehicle parts dealer or snow chain manufacturer. Tyre chains are not permitted on tyres of size 205/70 R16, 215/65 R16, 215/60 R17 and 225/45 R19. 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 tyre's sidewall 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 located in the right side of rear compartment.

11. 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.

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

13. The prescribed tyre pressure should be obtained within 10 minutes. Tyre pressure 3 207. When the correct pressure is obtained, switch off the compressor.

182 Vehicle care

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. Drain excess tyre pressure with the button over the pressure indicator. Do not run the compressor longer than 10 minutes.

14. Detach the tyre repair kit. 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.

15. Remove any excess sealant using a cloth.

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

17. 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.

18. Stow away tyre repair kit in load compartment.

Vehicle care 183

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 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 3 180. 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 3 185. Never change more than one wheel

Disengage the cap by using a screwdriver and remove. The towing eye is stowed with the vehicle tools 3 173.

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 even better a tow bar to the towing eye. The towing eye must only be used for towing and not for recovering a vehicle. Switch on the hazard warning flashers on both vehicles.

Vehicle care 191

Caution

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

After towing, unscrew the towing eye. Insert cap at the bottom and engage cap.

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 a de-icing agent, have the locks regreased by a workshop.

Washing The paintwork of your vehicle is exposed to environmental influences. Wash and wax your vehicle regularly. When using automatic vehicle washes, select a programme that includes waxing. Bird droppings, dead insects, resin, pollen and the like should be cleaned off immediately, as they contain aggressive constituents which can cause paint damage.

If using a vehicle wash, comply with the vehicle 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.

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.

192 Vehicle care

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 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.

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.

Vehicle care 193

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 system must be completely evacuated. 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. If necessary use a weak soap solution. Clean fabric upholstery with a vacuum cleaner and brush. Remove stains with an upholstery cleaner. Clothing fabrics may not be colourfast. This could cause visible discolourations, especially on light- coloured upholstery. Removable stains and discolourations should be cleaned as soon as possible. Clean seat belts with lukewarm water or interior cleaner.

Caution

Close Velcro fasteners as open Velcro fasteners on clothing could damage seat upholstery. The same applies to clothing with sharp-edged objects, like zips or belts or studded jeans.

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

The detailed, up-to-date service schedule for your vehicle is available at the workshop. Service display 3 81.

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 cars. 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, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Malta, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom. Service display 3 81.

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 81.

Service and maintenance 195

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 81.

Recommended fluids, lubricants and parts Recommended fluids and lubricants Only use products that meet the recommended specifications. Damage resulting from the use of products not in line with these specifiations 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

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 3 199.

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.

196 Service and maintenance

Select the appropriate engine oil based on its quality and on the minimum ambient temperature 3 199.

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

Coolant and antifreeze Use only organic acid type-long life coolant (LLC) antifreeze approved for the vehicle. Consult a workshop. The system is factory filled with coolant designed for excellent corrosion protection and frost protection down to approx. -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.

Customer information Declaration of conformity This vehicle has systems that transmit and/or receive radio waves subject to Directive 1999/5/EC. These systems are in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC. Copies of the original Declarations of Conformity can be obtained on our website.

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

210 Customer information

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.

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.
