Power to the Infotainment system willcontinue to operate for 30 minutes oruntil the key is removed from theignition switch, regardless of whetherany door is opened.

Starting the engine

Turn key to position 1 to release thesteering wheel lock.Manual transmission: operate clutchand brake pedal.Manual transmission automated:operate brake pedal.Automatic transmission: operatebrake pedal and move selector leverto P or N.Do not operate the accelerator pedal.Diesel engine: turn the key to position2 for preheating until controlindicator ! extinguishes.


Turn key briefly to position 3 andrelease: an automatic procedureoperates the starter after a briefdelay, until the engine is running. See'Automatic Starter Control'.Before restarting or to switch off theengine, turn the key back to position0.During an Autostop, the engine canbe started by depressing the clutchpedal.

Starting the vehicle at lowtemperaturesDiesel enginesThe start of the engine withoutadditional heaters is possible down to-25 °С.Petrol enginesThe start of the engine withoutadditional heaters is possible down to-30 °C.Required is an engine oil with thecorrect viscosity, the correct fuel,performed services and a sufficientlycharged vehicle battery.

With temperatures below -30 °C, theautomatic transmission requires awarming phase of approx. fiveminutes. The selector lever must bein position P.

Automatic starter controlThis function controls the enginestarting procedure. The driver doesnot need to hold the key in position 3.Once applied, the system will go onstarting automatically until the engineis running. Because of the checkingprocedure, the engine starts runningafter a short delay.Possible reasons for a non-startingengine:● 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-upUpon start-up, engine availabletorque may be limited for a short time,especially when the enginetemperature is cold. The limitation isto allow the lubrication system to fullyprotect the engine.

Overrun cut-offThe fuel supply is automatically cut-off during overrun, i.e. when thevehicle is driven with a gear engagedbut accelerator is released.

Stop-start systemThe stop-start system helps to savefuel and to reduce the exhaustemissions. When conditions allow, itswitches off the engine as soon as thevehicle is at a low speed or at astandstill, e.g. at a traffic light or in atraffic jam.On vehicles with manualtransmission, the engine is startedautomatically as soon as the clutch isdepressed.


On vehicles with manual transmissionautomated, the engine is startedautomatically as soon as the brakepedal is released.A vehicle battery sensor ensures thatan Autostop is only performed if thevehicle battery is sufficiently chargedfor a restart.

ActivationThe stop-start system is available assoon as the engine is started, thevehicle starts-off and the conditionsas stated below in this section arefulfilled.

Deactivation

NoticeIn the event of an accident withairbag deployment, the engine isswitched off automatically if thevehicle comes to a standstill within acertain time.

Engine exhaust

9 Danger

Engine exhaust gases containpoisonous carbon monoxide,which is colourless and odourlessand could be fatal if inhaled.If exhaust gases enter the interiorof the vehicle, open the windows.Have the cause of the faultrectified by a workshop.Avoid driving with an open loadcompartment, otherwise exhaustgases could enter the vehicle.

Diesel particle filterThe diesel particle filter system filtersharmful soot particles out of theexhaust gases. The system includesa self-cleaning function that runsautomatically during driving withoutany notification. The filter is cleanedby periodically burning off the sootparticles at high temperature. Thisprocess takes place automaticallyunder set driving conditions and maytake up to 25 minutes. Typically it

needs between seven and12 minutes. Autostop is not availableand fuel consumption may be higherduring this period. The emission ofsmells and smoke during this processis normal.

Under certain driving conditions, e.g.short distances, the system cannotclean itself automatically.If cleaning of the filter is required andif previous driving conditions did notenable automatic cleaning, it will beindicated by control indicator %.Simultaneously a warning messageor warning code appears in the DriverInformation Centre.% illuminates when diesel particlefilter is full. Start cleaning process assoon as possible.


% flashes when diesel particle filterhas reached the maximum fillinglevel. Start cleaning processimmediately to avoid damage to theengine.

Cleaning processTo activate cleaning process,continue driving, keep engine speedabove 2000 revolutions per minute.Shift down if necessary. Dieselparticle filter cleaning is then started.If g illuminates additionally,cleaning is not possible, seek theassistance of a workshop.

Caution

If the cleaning process isinterrupted, there is a risk ofprovoking severe engine damage.

Cleaning takes place quickest at highengine speeds and loads.Control indicator % extinguishes assoon as the self-cleaning operation iscomplete.

Catalytic converterThe catalytic converter reduces theamount of harmful substances in theexhaust gases.

Caution

Fuel grades other than those listedon pages 3 176, 3 242 coulddamage the catalytic converter orelectronic components.Unburnt petrol will overheat anddamage the catalytic converter.Therefore avoid excessive use ofthe starter, running the fuel tankdry and starting the engine bypushing or towing.

In the event of misfiring, unevenengine running, a reduction in engineperformance or other unusualproblems, have the cause of the faultrectified by a workshop as soon aspossible. In an emergency, drivingcan be continued for a short period,keeping vehicle speed and enginespeed low.

Gear shift indicationThe symbol R with a numberalongside it, is indicated whengearshifting is recommended for fuelsaving reasons.Shift indication appears only inmanual mode.

Electronic drivingprogrammes● Following a cold start, the

operating temperatureprogramme increases enginespeed to quickly bring thecatalytic converter to the requiredtemperature.

● The adaptive programme tailorsgearshifting to the drivingconditions, e.g. greater load orgradients.

KickdownIf the accelerator pedal is presseddown completely in automatic mode,the transmission shifts to a lower geardepending on engine speed.

FaultTo prevent damage to the manualtransmission automated, the clutch isengaged automatically at high clutchtemperatures.In the event of a fault, control indicatorg illuminates. Additionally, awarning message is displayed in theDriver Information Centre. Vehiclemessages 3 102.Continued driving is restricted or notpossible, depending on the fault.Have the cause of the fault remediedby a workshop.


BrakesThe brake system comprises twoindependent brake circuits.If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle canstill be braked using the other brakecircuit. However, braking effect isachieved only when the brake pedalis depressed firmly. Considerablymore force is needed for this. Thebraking distance is extended. Seekthe assistance of a workshop beforecontinuing the journey.When the engine is not running, thesupport of the brake servo unitdisappears once the brake pedal hasbeen depressed once or twice.Braking effect is not reduced, butbraking requires significantly greaterforce. It is especially important to bearthis in mind when being towed.Control indicator R 3 92.

Antilock brake systemAntilock brake system (ABS)prevents the wheels from locking.

ABS starts to regulate brake pressureas soon as a wheel shows a tendencyto lock. The vehicle remainssteerable, even during hard braking.ABS control is made apparentthrough a pulse in the brake pedaland the noise of the regulationprocess.For optimum braking, keep the brakepedal fully depressed throughout thebraking process, despite the fact thatthe pedal is pulsating. Do not reducethe pressure on the pedal.After starting-off the system performsa self-test which may be audible.Control indicator u 3 92.

Adaptive brake lightDuring full braking, all three brakelights flash for the duration of ABScontrol.

Fault

9 Warning

If there is a fault in the ABS, thewheels may be liable to lock dueto braking that is heavier thannormal. The advantages of ABSare no longer available. Duringhard braking, the vehicle can nolonger be steered and mayswerve.

Have the cause of the fault remediedby a workshop.


Parking brakeManual parking brake

9 Warning

Always apply parking brake firmlywithout operating the releasebutton, and apply as firmly aspossible on a downhill or uphillslope.To release the parking brake, pullthe lever up slightly, press therelease button and fully lower thelever.

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

Basic notes on parking assistsystems

9 Warning

Under certain circumstances,various reflective surfaces onobjects or clothing as well asexternal noise sources may causethe system to fail to detectobstacles.Special attention must be paid tolow obstacles which can damagethe lower part of the bumper.

Caution

Performance of the system can bereduced when sensors arecovered, e.g. by ice or snow.Performance of the parking assistsystem can be reduced due toheavy loading.Special conditions apply if thereare taller vehicles in the vicinity(e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans,vans). Object identification andcorrect distance indication in theupper part of these vehiclescannot be guaranteed.Objects with a very small reflectioncross-section, e.g. objects ofnarrow size or soft materials, maynot be detected by the system.Parking assist systems do notdetect objects outside thedetection range.

NoticeIt is possible that the sensor detectsa non-existing object caused byecho disturbance from external

acoustic noise or mechanicalmisalignments (sporadic falsewarnings may occur).Make sure that the front numberplate is properly mounted (not bentand no gaps to the bumper on the leftor right side) and the sensors arefirmly in place.Advanced parking assist systemmay not respond to changes in theavailable parking space afterinitiating a parking manoeuvre. Thesystem may recognize an entry, agateway, a courtyard or even acrossing as a parking slot. Afterselecting reverse gear the systemwill start a parking manoeuvre. Takecare regarding the availability of thesuggested parking slot.Surface irregularities, e.g. onconstruction zones, are not detectedby the system. The driver acceptsresponsibility.


NoticeIf engaging a forward gear andexceeding a certain speed, the rearparking assist will be deactivatedwhen the rear carrier system isextended.If engaging reverse at first, theparking assist will detect the rearcarrier system and provide a buzzingsound. Press r or D briefly todeactivate the parking assist.NoticeAfter production, the systemrequires a calibration. For optimalparking guidance, a driving distanceof at least 6 miles, including anumber of bends, is required.

Side blind spot alertThe Side blind spot alert systemdetects and reports objects on eitherside of the vehicle, within a specified"blind spot" zone. The system alertsvisually in each exterior mirror, whendetecting objects that may not bevisible in the interior and exteriormirrors.

FuelFuel for petrol enginesOnly use unleaded fuel that complieswith European standard EN 228 orE DIN 51626-1 or equivalent.The engine is capable of running withfuel that contains up to 10% ethanol(e.g. named E10).Use fuel with the recommendedoctane rating. The engine-specificrequirements are given in the enginedata overview 3 242. A country-specific label at the fuel filler flap cansupersede the requirement.

Caution

Do not use fuel or fuel additivesthat contain metallic compoundssuch as manganese-basedadditives. This may cause enginedamage.

Caution

Use of fuel that does not comply toEN 228 or E DIN 51626-1 orequivalent can lead to deposits orengine damage.

Caution

Use of fuel with too low an octanerating could lead to uncontrolledcombustion and engine damage.

Fuel for diesel enginesOnly use diesel fuel that complieswith EN 590.In countries outside the EuropeanUnion use Euro-Diesel fuel with asulphur concentration below 50 ppm.

Caution

Use of fuel that does not comply toEN 590 or similar can lead toengine powerloss, increased wearor engine damage.

Do not use marine diesel oils, heatingoils, Aquazole and similar diesel-water emulsions. Diesel fuels mustnot be diluted with fuels for petrolengines.

Fuel for liquid gas operationLiquid gas is known as LPG(Liquefied Petroleum Gas) or underits French name GPL (Gaz de PétroleLiquéfié). LPG is also known asAutogas.LPG consists mainly of propane andbutane. The octane rating is between105 and 115, depending on thebutane proportion. LPG is storedliquid at around five to ten barpressure.The boiling point depends on thepressure and mixing ratio. At ambientpressure, it is between -42 °C (purepropane) and -0.5 °C (pure butane).

Caution

The system works at an ambienttemperature of approx. -8 °C to100 °C.


Full function of the LPG system canonly be guaranteed with liquid gaswhich complies with the minimumrequirements of DIN EN 589.

Fuel selector

Pressing LPG switches betweenpetrol and liquid gas operation assoon as the required parameters(coolant temperature, gastemperature and minimum enginespeed) have been reached. Therequirements are usually fulfilled afterapprox. 60 seconds (depending onexterior temperature) and the first firm

press on the accelerator. The LEDstatus shows the current operatingmode.LED off : petrol operationLEDflashes

: liquid gas tank is emptyor failure in liquid gassystem. A message isdisplayed in the DriverInformation Centre.

If the fuel tank is empty, the enginewill not start.The selected fuel mode is stored andreactivated at the next ignition cycle ifconditions allow.As soon as the liquid gas tanks areempty, petrol operation isautomatically engaged until theignition is switched off.

When switching automaticallybetween petrol or gas operation, abrief delay of engine tractive powermay be noticeable.Every six months, run the petrol tankdown until control indicator Yilluminates, then refuel. This helpsmaintain fuel quality and systemfunction for petrol operation.Fill the tank completely at regularintervals to prevent corrosion in thetank.

Faults and remediesIf gas mode is not possible, check thefollowing:● Is there enough liquid gas

present?● Is there enough petrol present for

starting?Due to extreme temperatures incombination with the gascomposition, it may take slightlylonger before the system switchesfrom petrol to gas mode.In extreme situations, the system mayalso switch back to petrol mode if theminimum requirements are not


fulfilled. If conditions allow, it might bepossible to manually switch back toliquid gas operation.Seek the assistance of a workshop inthe event of all other faults.

Caution

Repairs and adjustments may onlybe made by trained specialists inorder to maintain the safety andwarranty on the LPG system.

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

9 Warning

If you smell gas in the vehicle or inthe immediate vicinity, switch topetrol mode immediately. Nosmoking. No naked flames orignition sources.

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

When using underground car parks,follow the instructions of the operatorand local laws.NoticeIn the event of an accident, switch offthe ignition and lights.

Fuel consumption - CO2-Emissions The fuel consumption (combined) ofthe model Vauxhall Corsa is within arange of 38 to 91 mpg.The CO2 emission (combined) iswithin a range of 174 to 82 g/km.For the values specific for yourvehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate ofConformity provided with your vehicleor other national registrationdocuments.

General informationThe official fuel consumption andspecific CO2 emission figures quotedrelate to the EU base model withstandard equipment.Fuel consumption data and CO2emission data are determinedaccording to regulation R (EC)No. 715/2007 (in the latest applicableversion), taking into consideration thevehicle weight in running order, asspecified by the regulation.


The figures are provided only for thepurpose of comparison betweendifferent vehicle variants and mustnot be taken as a guarantee for theactual fuel consumption of aparticular vehicle. Additionalequipment may result in slightlyhigher results than the statedconsumption and CO2 figures.Furthermore, fuel consumption isdependent on personal driving styleas well as road and traffic conditions.

Trailer hitchGeneral informationOnly use towing equipment that hasbeen approved for your vehicle.Entrust retrofitting of towingequipment to a workshop. It may benecessary to make changes thataffect the cooling system, heatshields or other equipment.The bulb outage detection function fortrailer brake light cannot detect apartial bulb outage, e.g. in case of fourtimes five watt bulbs, the function onlydetects lamp outage when only asingle five Watt lamp remains or noneremain.Fitting of towing equipment couldcover the opening of the towing eye.If this is the case use the coupling ballbar for towing. Always keep thecoupling ball bar in the vehicle whennot in use.

Driving characteristics andtowing tipsBefore attaching a trailer, lubricatethe coupling ball. However, do not doso if a stabiliser, which acts on thecoupling ball, is being used to reducesnaking movements.For trailers with low driving stabilityand caravan trailers with a permittedgross vehicle weight of more than1000 kg a speed of 50 mph must notbe exceeded; the use of a stabiliser isrecommended.If the trailer starts snaking, drive moreslowly, do not attempt to correct thesteering and brake sharply ifnecessary.When driving downhill, drive in thesame gear as if driving uphill anddrive at a similar speed.Adjust tyre pressure to the valuespecified for full load 3 250.


Trailer towingTrailer loadsThe permissible trailer loads arevehicle and engine-dependentmaximum values which must not beexceeded. The actual trailer load isthe difference between the actualgross weight of the trailer and theactual coupling socket load with thetrailer coupled.The permissible trailer loads arespecified in the vehicle documents. Ingeneral, they are valid for gradientsup to max. 12%The permitted trailer loads apply up tothe specified incline and up to analtitude of 1000 metres above sealevel. Since engine power decreasesas altitude increases due to the airbecoming thinner, therefore reducingclimbing ability, the permissible grosstrain weight also decreases by 10%for every 1000 metres of additionalaltitude. The gross train weight doesnot have to be reduced when drivingon roads with slight inclines (less than8%, e.g. motorways).

The permissible gross train weightmust not be exceeded. This weight isspecified on the identification plate3 238.

Vertical coupling loadThe vertical coupling load is the loadexerted by the trailer on the couplingball. It can be varied by changing theweight distribution when loading thetrailer.Petrol and diesel enginesThe maximum permissible verticalcoupling load (55 kg) is specified onthe towing equipment identificationplate and in the vehicle documents.Always aim for the maximum load,especially in the case of heavytrailers. The vertical coupling loadshould never fall below 25 kg.Engine B14XEL LPGThe maximum permissible verticalcoupling load (45 kg) is specified onthe towing equipment identificationplate and in the vehicle documents.Always aim for the maximum load,especially in the case of heavytrailers. The vertical coupling loadshould never fall below 25 kg.

Rear axle loadPetrol and diesel enginesWhen the trailer is coupled and thetowing vehicle fully loaded, thepermissible rear axle load (seeidentification plate or vehicledocuments) for passenger vehiclesmay be exceeded by 70 kg for the 5-door vehicle and 60 kg for the 3-doorvehicle, the gross vehicle weightrating by 55 kg.Engine B14XEL LPGWhen the trailer is coupled and thetowing vehicle fully loaded, thepermissible rear axle load (seeidentification plate or vehicledocuments) for passenger vehiclesmay be exceeded by 70 kg for the 5-door vehicle and 70 kg for the 3-doorvehicle and the gross vehicle weightrating by 45 kg.Delivery vanWhen the trailer is coupled and thetowing vehicle fully loaded, thepermissible rear axle load (seeidentification plate or vehicledocuments) for passenger vehiclesmay be exceeded by 60 kg and thegross vehicle weight rating by 55 kg.


GeneralIf the permitted rear axle load isexceeded a maximum speed of60 mph applies. If lower nationalmaximum speeds are specified fortrailer operation, they must becomplied with.

Vehicles with spare wheel

The jack, wheel bolt wrench andsome tools are located on the rightside of the load compartment, behinda cover 3 70.

Wheels and tyres

Tyre condition, wheel conditionDrive over edges slowly and at rightangles if possible. Driving over sharpedges can cause tyre and wheeldamage. Do not trap tyres on the kerbwhen parking.Regularly check the wheels fordamage. Seek the assistance of aworkshop in the event of damage orunusual wear.We recommend not swapping thefront wheels with the rear wheels andvice versa, as this can affect vehiclestability. Always use less worn tyreson the rear axle.

Winter tyresWinter tyres improve driving safety attemperatures below 7 °C and shouldtherefore be fitted on all wheels.All tyre sizes are permitted as wintertyres 3 250.In accordance with country-specificregulations, affix the speed sticker inthe driver's field of view.

Tyre designationsE.g. 195/55 R 16 95 H195 : tyre width, mm55 : cross-section ratio (tyre height

to tyre width), percentageR : belt type: RadialRF : type: RunFlat16 : wheel diameter, inches95 : load index e.g. 95 is equivalent

Speed code letter:Q : up to 100 mphS : up to 112 mphT : up to 118 mphH : up to 130 mphV : up to 150 mphW : up to 168 mph

Choose a tyre appropiate for themaximum speed of your verhicle.The maximum speed is achievable atkerb weight with driver (75 kg) plus125 kg payload. Optional equipmentcould reduce the maximum speed ofthe vehicle.Performance 3 244.

Vehicle care 211

Directional tyresDirectional tyres must be mounted sothat they rotate in the correctdirection. The proper rotationdirection is indicated by a symbol(e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall.

Tyre pressureCheck the pressure of cold tyres atleast every 14 days and before anylong journey. Do not forget the sparewheel.This also applies to vehicles with tyrepressure monitoring system.Unscrew the valve cap.

Tyre pressure 3 250.The tyre pressure information labelon the right door frame indicates theoriginal equipment tyres and thecorrespondent tyre pressures.The tyre pressure data refers to coldtyres. It applies to summer and wintertyres.The ECO tyre pressure serves toachieve the smallest amount of fuelconsumption possible.Incorrect tyre pressures will impairsafety, vehicle handling, comfort andfuel economy and will increase tyrewear.Tyre pressures differ depending onvarious options.For the correct tyre pressure value,follow the procedure below:● Identify the engine identifier

code. Engine data 3 242.● Identify the respective tyre.

The tyre pressure tables show allpossible tyre combinations 3 250.

For the tyres approved for yourvehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate ofConformity provided with your vehicleor other national registrationdocuments.The driver is responsible for correctadjustment of tyre pressure.

9 Warning

If the pressure is too low, this canresult in considerable tyre warm-up and internal damage, leading totread separation and even to tyreblow-out at high speeds.

9 Warning

For specific tyres therecommended tyre pressure asshown in the tyre pressure tablemay exceed the maximum tyrepressure as indicated on the tyre.Never exceed the maximum tyrepressure as indicated on the tyre.

212 Vehicle care

If the tyre pressure must be reducedor increased, switch off ignition. Afteradjusting tyre pressure switch onignition and select the relevant settingon the page Tyre load in the DriverInformation Centre 3 96.

Temperature dependencyThe tyre pressure depends on thetemperature of the tyre. Duringdriving, tyre temperature andpressure increase. Tyre pressurevalues provided on the tyreinformation label and tyre pressurechart are valid for cold tyres, whichmeans at 20 °C.The pressure increases by nearly1.5 psi for a 10 °C temperatureincrease. This must be consideredwhen warm tyres are checked.The tyre pressure value displayed inthe Driver Information Centre showsthe real tyre pressure. A cooled downtyre will show a decreased value,which does not indicate an air leak.

Tyre pressure monitoringsystemThe tyre pressure monitoring systemchecks the pressure of all four tyresonce a minute when vehicle speedexceeds a certain limit.

Caution

Tyre pressure monitoring systemwarns only about low tyre pressurecondition and does not replaceregular tyre maintenance by thedriver.

All wheels must be equipped withpressure sensors and the tyres musthave the prescribed pressure.NoticeIn countries where the tyre pressuremonitoring system is legallyrequired, the use of wheels withoutpressure sensors will invalidate thevehicle type approval.

The current tyre pressures can beshown in the Vehicle InformationMenu ? in the Driver InformationCentre.

The menu can be selected bypressing the buttons on the turnsignal lever.

After inflating, some driving may berequired to update the tyre pressurevalues in the Driver InformationCentre. During this time w mayilluminate.If w illuminates at lower temperaturesand extinguishes after driving, thiscould be an indicator for approachinga low tyre pressure condition. Checktyre pressure.Vehicle messages 3 102.If the tyre pressure must be reducedor increased, switch off ignition.Only mount wheels with pressuresensors, otherwise the tyre pressurewill not be displayed and willuminates continuously.A spare wheel or temporary sparewheel is not equipped with pressuresensors. The tyre pressuremonitoring system is not operationalfor these tyres. Control indicator willuminates. For the further threetyres, the system remainsoperational.

214 Vehicle care

The use of commercially-availableliquid tyre repair kits can impair thefunction of the system. Factory-approved repair kits can be used.Operating electronic devices or beingclose to facilities using similar wavefrequencies could disrupt the tyrepressure monitoring system.Each time the tyres are replaced, tyrepressure monitoring system sensorsmust be dismounted and serviced.For the screwed sensor; replacevalve core and sealing ring. For theclipped sensor; replace completevalve stem.

Caution

Always use a cleaning agent witha pH value of four to nine.Do not use cleaning agents on hotsurfaces.

Have the door hinges of all doorsgreased by a workshop.Do not clean the engine compartmentwith a steam-jet or high-pressure jetcleaner.

Thoroughly rinse and leather-off thevehicle. Rinse leather frequently. Useseparate leathers for painted andglass surfaces: remnants of wax onthe windows will impair vision.

Exterior lightsHeadlight and other light covers aremade of plastic. Do not use anyabrasive or caustic agents, do not usean ice scraper, and do not clean themdry.

Polishing and waxingWax painted parts of the vehicleregularly (at the latest when water nolonger beads). Otherwise, thepaintwork will dry out.Polishing is necessary only if the painthas become dull or if solid depositshave become attached to it.Paintwork polish with silicone forms aprotective film, making waxingunnecessary.Unpainted plastic body parts must notbe treated with wax or polishingagents.

232 Vehicle care

Matt filmed body parts or decor tapesmust not be polished, to avoidgleaming. Do not use hot waxprogrammes in automatic car washesif the vehicle is equipped with theseparts.Matt painted decor parts, e.g. mirrorhousing cover, must not be polished.Otherwise these parts would becomeagleam or the colour would bedissolved.

Windows and windscreen wiperbladesUse a soft lint-free cloth or chamoisleather together with window cleanerand insect remover.When cleaning the rear window frominside, always wipe in parallel to theheating element to prevent damage.For mechanical removal of ice, use asharp-edged ice scraper. Press thescraper firmly against the glass sothat no dirt can get under it andscratch the glass.Clean smearing wiper blades with asoft cloth and window cleaner.

Remove dirt residues from smearingwiper blades by using a soft cloth andwindow cleaner. Also make sure toremove any residues such as wax,insect residues and similar from thewindow.Ice residues, pollution and continuouswiping on dry windows will damage oreven destroy the wiper blades.

SunroofNever clean with solvents or abrasiveagents, fuels, aggressive media (e.g.paint cleaner, acetone-containingsolutions etc.), acidic or highlyalkaline media or abrasive pads. Donot apply wax or polishing agents tothe sunroof.

Wheels and tyresDo not use high-pressure jetcleaners.Clean rims with a pH-neutral wheelcleaner.Rims are painted and can be treatedwith the same agents as the body.

Paintwork damageRectify minor paintwork damage witha touch-up pen before rust forms.Have more extensive damage or rustareas repaired by a workshop.

UnderbodySome areas of the vehicle underbodyhave a PVC undercoating while othercritical areas have a durableprotective wax coating.After the underbody is washed, checkthe underbody and have it waxed ifnecessary.Bitumen/rubber materials coulddamage the PVC coating. Haveunderbody work carried out by aworkshop.Before and after winter, wash theunderbody and have the protectivewax coating checked.

Vehicle care 233

Liquid gas system

9 Danger

Liquid gas is heavier than air andcan collect in sink points.Take care when performing workat the underbody in a pit.

For painting work and when using adrying booth at a temperature above60 °C, the liquid gas tank must beremoved.Do not make any modifications to theliquid gas system.

Towing equipmentDo not clean the coupling ball bar witha steam-jet or high-pressure jetcleaner.

Rear carrier systemClean the rear carrier system with asteam-jet or high-pressure jet cleanerat least once a year.Operate the rear carrier systemperiodically if not in regular use, inparticular during winter.

Interior careInterior and upholsteryOnly clean the vehicle interior,including the instrument panel fasciaand panelling, with a dry cloth orinterior cleaner.Clean the leather upholstery withclear water and a soft cloth. In case ofheavy soiling, use leather care.The instrument cluster and thedisplays should only be cleaned usinga soft damp cloth. If necessary use aweak soap solution.Clean fabric upholstery with avacuum cleaner and brush. Removestains with an upholstery cleaner.Clothing fabrics may not becolourfast. This could cause visiblediscolourations, especially on light-coloured upholstery. Removablestains and discolourations should becleaned as soon as possible.Clean seat belts with lukewarm wateror interior cleaner.

Caution

Close Velcro fasteners as openVelcro fasteners on clothing coulddamage seat upholstery.The same applies to clothing withsharp-edged objects, like zips orbelts or studded jeans.

Plastic and rubber partsPlastic and rubber parts can becleaned with the same cleaner asused to clean the body. Use interiorcleaner if necessary. Do not use anyother agent. Avoid solvents and petrolin particular. Do not use high-pressure jet cleaners.

9 Warning

Operating materials arehazardous and could bepoisonous. Handle with care. Payattention to information given onthe containers.

Engine oilEngine oil is identified by its qualityand its viscosity. Quality is moreimportant than viscosity whenselecting which engine oil to use. Theoil quality ensures e.g. enginecleanliness, wear protection and oilaging control, whereas viscositygrade gives information on the oil'sthickness over a temperature range.

Dexos is the newest engine oil qualitythat provides optimum protection forpetrol and diesel engines. If it isunavailable, engine oils of other listedqualities have to be used.Recommendations for petrol enginesare also valid for Compressed NaturalGas (CNG), Liquified Petroleum Gas(LPG) and Ethanol (E85) fuelledengines.Select the appropriate engine oilbased on its quality and on theminimum ambient temperature3 239.

Topping up engine oilEngine oils of different manufacturersand brands can be mixed as long asthey comply with the required engineoil quality and viscosity.Use of engine oil with onlyACEA A1/B1 or only A5/B5 quality isprohibited, since it can cause long-term engine damage under certainoperating conditions.Select the appropriate engine oilbased on its quality and on theminimum ambient temperature3 239.

236 Service and maintenance

Additional engine oil additivesThe use of additional engine oiladditives could cause damage andinvalidate the warranty.

Engine oil viscosity gradesThe SAE viscosity grade givesinformation of the thickness of the oil.Multigrade oil is indicated by twofigures, e.g. SAE 5W-30. The firstfigure, followed by a W, indicates thelow temperature viscosity and thesecond figure the high temperatureviscosity.Select the appropriate viscosity gradedepending on the minimum ambienttemperature 3 239.All of the recommended viscositygrades are suitable for high ambienttemperatures.

Coolant and antifreezeUse only silicate-free long life coolant(LLC) antifreeze. Consult aworkshop.The system is factory filled withcoolant designed for excellentcorrosion protection and frostprotection down to approx. -28 °C. In

northern countries with very lowtemperatures the factory filled coolantprovides frost protection down toapprox. -37 °C. This concentrationshould be maintained all year round.The use of additional coolantadditives that intend to give additionalcorrosion protection or seal againstminor leaks can cause functionproblems. Liability for consequencesresulting from the use of additionalcoolant additives will be rejected.

Brake and clutch fluidOver time, brake fluid absorbsmoisture which will reduce brakingeffectiveness. The brake fluid shouldtherefore be replaced at the specifiedinterval.

Vehicle data recordingand privacyEvent data recordersData storage modules in thevehicleA large number of electroniccomponents of your vehicle containdata storage modules temporarily orpermanently storing technical dataabout the condition of the vehicle,events and errors. In general, thistechnical information documents thecondition of parts, modules, systemsor 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 inimportant system components.

● Vehicle reactions in particulardriving situations (e.g. inflation ofan airbag, activation of thestability regulation system).

● Environmental conditions (e.g.temperature).

These data are exclusively technicaland help identifying and correctingerrors as well as optimizing vehiclefunctions.Motion profiles indicating travelledroutes cannot be created with thesedata.If services are used (e.g. repairworks, service processes, warrantycases, quality assurance),employees of the service network(manufacturer included) are able toread out this technical informationfrom the event and error data storagemodules applying special diagnosticdevices. If required, you will receivefurther information at theseworkshops. After an error has beencorrected, the data are deleted fromthe error storage module or they areconstantly overwritten.


When using the vehicle, situationsmay occur in which these technicaldata related to other information(accident report, damages on thevehicle, witness statements etc.) maybe associated with a specific person -possibly, with the assistance of anexpert.Additional functions contractuallyagreed upon with the client (e.g.vehicle location in emergency cases)allow the transmission of particularvehicle data from the vehicle.

Radio FrequencyIdentification (RFID)RFID technology is used in somevehicles for functions such as tyrepressure monitoring and ignitionsystem security. It is also used inconnection with conveniences suchas radio remote controls for doorlocking/unlocking and starting, and in-vehicle transmitters for garage dooropeners. RFID technology inVauxhall vehicles does not use orrecord personal information or linkwith any other Vauxhall systemcontaining personal information.
