Front airb ag systemThe front airbag system is triggered in the event of a serious accident involving a fronta l impact a nd form s safety cushions for the d river and front passenger. The forward m ovement of the driver and front passenger is c hecked and the risk of injuries to the upper body and head thereby substantially reduced.
31
Sid e a irbag system 3The side airbag system triggers when a side-on collision occurs and provides a safety barrier for the d river and/or passenger in the respective front door area. This reduces the risk of injury to the upper body c onsiderably in case of a sid e impac t.
Curtain airb ag system 3 The c urtain airbag system triggers in c ase of a side-on collision and provides a safety barrier in the head area on the respective side of the vehicle. This reduces the risk of injury to the head considerably in case of a side-on collision.
6 Further inform ation – see page 93.
Active head restraints 3 In the event of a rear-end impact, the active head restraints automatically tilt forwards. The head is more effectively supported by the head restraint and the danger of hyperextension in the neck a rea is reduced.
Ac tive hea d restra ints are identified by the lettering ACTIVE on the head restra int guid e bushes.
Parking distance sensors 3 The parking distance sensors automatically switch themselves on w hen reversing.
If the vehicle approaches an obstacle when reversing, a series of signals can be hea rd in the vehicle interior. The interval b etween the signals becomes shorter as the distance is reduced. If the distance is less than 30 cm, the sig nal will be continuous.

Safety systems Three-stage restraint systemComprising:
z three-point seat belts
z Belt tensioners at the front seats
z Airbag system s for driver, front passenger 3 and outboard rear seats
The three stag es are a ctivated in sequence depending on the seriousness of the accident:
z The automa tic seat belt locking devices prevent the belt strap from being pulled out and thus ensure that the vehicle occupants are retained in their seats.
z The front seat b elt buckles are p ulled downwards. As a result, the seat b elts are instantaneously tightened and the occupants are made aware of the deceleration of the vehicle at a very ea rly stage. This reduces the stress placed on the body.
z The airbag systems a re also triggered in the event of serious accidents and form a safety cushion for the occupants.
Be sure to read the detailed descriptions of the three-stage restra int system and the child restraint system on the following pag es!
The airbag systems 3 supplem ent the three-point seat belts and belt tensioners. The seat belts must therefore always be worn. Disregard of these instructions may lea d to injuries or endanger life. Vehicle p assengers should be informed accordingly.
87
Seat belts In the event of an accident, persons not wearing sea t belts enda ng er their fellow oc cup ants and themselves.
Control indica tor X for seat belts – see page 32.
Sea t belts are desig ned to be used by only one person at a time. They a re only suitable for children up to 12 yea rs of ag e or sma ller than 150 cm if used in conjunction with a child seat.
For children up to 12 years of age we recommend the Vauxhall child restraint system – see pa ge 103.
Three-point seat beltsThe vehicle is equipped with three-point seat belts with automatic retrac tors and locking d evices, allowing freedom of body movement although the spring tensioned belts always ensure a snug fit.
Seating position - see p age 71.
The belt has a "vehicle sensitive retra ctor" which is designed to lock during hea vy acc eleration or deceleration in any direction.
Alwa ys wea r your seat belt, and that means also in urb an traffic and when you are a rear seat passenger. It can save your life!
Pregnant women m ust alwa ys wear a seat belt – see page 90.
88
Belt tens ionersThe front sea t belt system incorporates belt tensioners. In the event of a head -on or rea r-end collision, d epending on the severity of the accident, the belt buckles are pulled d ow nwa rd s; the diagonal a nd lap b elts are instantaneously tightened.
Actuation of belt tensioners Indicated by the control indicator v . Belt tensioner actua tion ma y also be indicated by yellow tabs on the belt buck les.
The belt tensioners must be replaced after activation. We recommend that you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
If the seat belts are unda maged the op eration thereof is unaffected, even if the belt tensioners have been triggered.
Control indic ator for b elt tensioners vThe belt tensioners are electronically monitored together with the airbag systems and the operation thereof is indicated on the instrument panel by the control ind icators v . When the ignition is switched on, the control ind ic ators illuminate for a pprox. 4 seconds. If they do not illumina te, or they do not go off within 4 seconds, or illum inate whilst driving, there is a fa ult in the belt tensioner system or the airbag systems – see pag e 98. The b elt tensioner or the airbag systems ma y not activa te if an a ccident occurs.
89
The system ’s integrated self-diagnostics allows faults to be quickly remed ied. H ave your Car Pass on hand when consulting a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
Imp or tant
z Accessories and other objects must not be affixed or placed within the action zone of the belt tensioners a s this may result in injury if the belt tensioners are triggered.
z Do not make any modifications to the components of the belt tensioners, as this will render the vehicle un-roa dworthy .
z The belt tensioner and airbag system control electronics can be found in the centre console area. In order to avoid malfunctions, do not store mag netic objects in this a rea.
z We recom mend that you have the front seats removed by a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
z The belt tensioners only actuate once. Please replace belt tensioners that have been triggered. We recom mend tha t you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
z Applicable safety directives must always be ob served when disposing of the vehicle. For this reason, d isposal should be done by an authorised recycling company. We recommend that you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
Have the cause of the fault remedied . We recom mend that you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Rep airer.
Imp roper handling (e.g. removal or installation) could cause the belt tensioners to be trigg ered. Risk of injury !
90
Using the belts Fitting the b el tPull the belt out of the retractor and guide it across the body, making certain that it is not twisted.
Insert latch plate into buckle. Backrest must not be tilted too far back , sinc e this would affect the opera tion of the seat belts; recommended tilting a ng le app rox . 25°. The lap belt m ust be stra ig ht and lying snugly against the body. Tighten lap belt at frequent intervals whilst driving by tugging diagonal pa rt of belt.
Thick layers of clothing prevent the belt from fitting snugly. The belt must not rest against hard or frag ile objects in the pockets of your clothing (e.g . ballpoint pen, keys, spectacles), since this could cause injury. No ob jects such as handba gs, mobile p hones etc. m ust be present between the belt a nd your body.
Height adjustm entOf front and second row seat b elt upper anchorage points:
1. Pull b elt out slig htly.
2. Press button down or push belt guide up .
3. Set desired height.
4. Allow anchorage to lock aud ibly into position.
Do not make height adjustments w hilst driving.
On pregnant women in particular, the lap belt must be positioned as low as possible ac ross the pelv is so as not to put too much pressure on the abdomen.
91
Adjust height such that the belt p asses over the wearer's shoulder and rests against the shoulder. It must not pass over the neck or upper arm.
Rem oving the b el tTo remove the belt, d epress the red push button on the buckle; the belt will retrac t autom atic ally.
Seat belts in the sec ond rowWhen adjusting sec ond seat row to enlarge luggage compa rtm ent, plac e sea t belt buckles in pockets in seat bench as shown in figure.

When not in use, route the seat belt through the fix ture as shown in the illustration, and insert the la tch plate in the fix ture.
Inspection of beltsPlea se check all parts of the b elt system occasionally for dama ge a nd correct operation. H ave da maged parts replaced . In ca se of an accident, please replace overstretc hed belts and triggered belt tensioners. We recommend consulting a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
Do not perform any altera tions on the belts, their anchorages, the automatic retrac tors or the belt buck les.
Make sure that b elts are not da maged or trapped by sharp-edged objec ts.
For use by passengers, the belts must not be routed through the fixture.
93
Vauxhall Full-Size airbag system Front airb ag The front airbag system is identified by the word AIRBAG on the steering wheel and above the glove c om partment.
The front airbag system comprises:
z Airbag w ith inflator in the steering wheel and a second one in the instrument panel,
z Control electronics with impact sensor,
z Airbag systems control indicator v in the instrument panel,
z Seat occupancy recognition 3,
z Control indicator for Vauxhall child restraint systems y with transponders 3 in the courtesy light
The front airb ag system is triggered:
z Depending on the severity of the accident,
z Depending on the type of impact,
z Within the range shown in the illustration,
z Independently of the side airbag system 3 and curtain airbag system 3.
Exception: Passenger sea t with seat occupancy recognition system 3 . The seat occupancy recognition system deactiva tes the passenger front and side airbags if the passenger seat is unoccupied or a Vauxhall child restraint system with transponders 3 has been fitted to the passenger seat. Seat occupa ncy recognition – see p age 99. Vauxhall c hild restraint system with transponders 3 – see pag e 104.
Examples of events triggering the front airbag system:
z Impact against a non-y ielding obstacle: The front airbags are trigg ered at low vehicle speed.
z Impact against a yield ing obstacle (such as another vehicle): The front airbags are only triggered at a hig her vehicle speed.
94
When trigg ered , the front airbags inflate in milliseconds and form a safety cushion for driver and front passeng er. The forw ard movement of the driver and front passenger is checked and the risk of injuries to the upper body a nd head thereby substantially reduced.
No im pairment of view will occur, because the a irb ags inflate and deflate so quickly .
The front airbag system will not be triggered in the event ofz The ignition being switched off,z Minor frontal collisions,z Accidents in which the vehicle overturns,z Collisions involv ing a side or rear impa ct,where it would not be of benefit to the occupants.
The front airbag system provides optimum p rotection when the seat, back rest and head restra int are correctly adjusted: Adjust the driver's seat according to the occupant's height such that with the driver sitting upright the steering wheel is held in the a rea of its upper sp okes with the d river's arms slightly bent. The front passeng er seat should b e as far b ack as possible, w ith the backrest upright – see p ages 5, 71. Do not place the head, b od y, hands or feet on the covers of the airbag systems.
Do not place any objects in the area in which the airb ags inflate. Im portant inform ation – see page 101.
The three-point seat belt must be correctly fitted – see page 90.
95
In addition, the front airbag system will not be triggered for the front passenger in vehicles with seat occupancy recognition 3 if;
z The front p assenger seat is unoccupied,
z There is a p roperly fitted Va uxha ll child restraint system with transponders 3 . Seat oc cup ancy recognition – see page 99. Vauxhall child restraint system with transponders 3 – see page 104.
Side airb ag 3 The side a irb ag system is identified by the word AIRBAG on the outb oa rd sides of the front seat backrests.
The side a irb ag system c om prises:
z Airbag w ith inflator in the b ack of the driver's a nd front passenger’s seats respectively ,
z Control electronic s,
z Sid e imp act sensors,
z Airbag systems control indicator v in the instrument panel,
z Seat occupancy recognition 3,
z Control indicator for Vauxhall child restraint systems y with transponders 3 in the courtesy light.
The side airbag system is triggered;
z Depending on the severity of the accident,
z Depending on the type of impa ct,
z Within the range shown in the illustra tion of the driver's d oor or front passenger door,
z Independently of the front a irba g system.
Exception: Pa ssenger seat with seat occupancy recognition system 3. The seat occupancy recognition system dea ctivates the pa ssenger front and sid e airbags if the passenger seat is unoccupied or a Vauxhall child restraint system with transponders 3 has been fitted to the passenger seat. Seat occupa ncy recognition – see p age 99. Vauxhall child restraint system with transponders 3 – see pag e 104.
Seat belts must always be worn. The front a irb ag system serves to supplement the three-point seat belts. If you do not wear your seat belt you risk being seriously injured, or even thrown from the vehic le, in the event of an accident.
If an accident occurs the belt helps to maintain the correct seating position that is required for the front airbag system to provide you with effective protection.
96
When triggered, the sid e airbag inflates in milliseconds to form a safety cushion for the d river or front passenger in the respective door area. This substantially red uces the risk of injury to the upper body in the event of a sid e-on collision.
The side airba gs will not be triggered in the event of;
z The ig nition being switched off,
z Frontal c ollisions,
z Accidents in which the vehicle overturns,
z Collisions involving a rear imp act,
z Collisions involv ing a sid e impact outside the passenger cell.
In ad dition, the sid e airbag system will not be triggered for the front passenger in versions with sea t occupancy recognition 3 if;
z The front passenger seat is unoccupied,
z There is a properly fitted Vauxhall child restra int system with transponders 3. Seat occupancy recognition – see page 99. Vauxhall child restraint system with transponders 3 – see page 104.
There must be no objects in the area in which the airb ag inflates or in the a rea between the seat backs and the vehicle body. Do not place the hands or arms on the covers of the airba g systems. Imp ortant information – see page 101.
The three-p oint seat b elt m ust always b e correctly fitted – see page 90.

Curtain airb ag 3 The c urtain airbag system can b e recognised by the word AIRBAG on the roof pillar panelling.
The c urtain airbag system comp rises:
z Airbag with inflator in the roof frame on the driver's and front passenger side respectively,
z Control electronics,
z Side impact sensors,
z Airbag systems control indicator v in the instrument panel
The curtain airbag system is trigg ered ;
z Depending on the severity of the accident,
z Depending on the type of impact,
z Within the range shown in the illustration of the d river's door or front pa ssenger door,
z Together with the side airbag system,
z Irrespective of seat occupancy rec og nition,
z Independently of the front airbag system.
When it is triggered, the curtain airbag inflates within milliseconds and form s a safety barrier in the head area in the first and second row s of the respec tive side of the vehicle. If a side-on collision occurs, the risk of head injury is reduced considerably.
98
The curtain airbags will not be triggered in the event of
z The ignition b eing switched off,
z Frontal collisions,
z Acc idents in which the vehicle overturns,
z Collisions involv ing a rea r impact,
z Collisions involving a side impa ct outside the passenger c ell
Control ind icator for airba g systems vThe front airb ag system, the side airbag system 3 a nd the curtain airbag system 3 are electronically m onitored together with the seat occupa ncy recognition system 3 and the belt tensioners, and the opera tion thereof is indicated on the instrument panel by a control indicator v . When the ignition is switched on the c ontrol ind ic ator illuminates for approxim ately 4 seconds. If it d oes not illum ina te, does not go off after 4 seconds or illuminates whilst driving, there is a fa ult in the airbag system s, the seat occupancy recognition system 3 or the belt tensioners – see page 88. The systems may not operate if an accident oc curs.
The system’s integrated self-diagnostics allows faults to be quickly remedied. Have your Car Pass on hand when consulting a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
There m ust be no objects in the area in which the airbag inflates. Do not place the hands or arms on the covers of the airb ag systems. Important inform ation – see pa ge 101.

ImportantThe rear air conditioning and cooling systems only operate with the engine running.
Condensation forms when the rear air conditioning or c ooling system is switched on, and is expelled from the und erside of the vehicle.
When the air cond itioning or rea r cooling system is sw itched on, at least one air vent must be open so that the eva pora tor does not ice up due to la ck of air movement.
If the windscreen mists up during d amp weather, switc h air conditioning on and adjust as describ ed in "Demisting the wind ow s" – see page 161.
Switching on additional cooling for passengers in rear of vehicle - see page 163.
If no cooling or drying is required , switch the rea r air cond itioning or cooling system off to save fuel.
MaintenanceIn order to ensure consistently good operation, the air cond itioning and c ooling for rea r passeng ers must be switched on once per m onth regardless of the weather and the time of year. Operation with cooling (cooling compressor) is not possible at low outside temperatures.
If the air conditioning or the rear cooling system is faulty, consult a workshop. We recommend a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
The pollen filter must be replac ed a t the interva ls specified in the Serv ice Booklet.
Window misting can lead to accidents due to lack of proper vision.

Electronicair conditioning system
Electronic air conditioning system 3 The system provides m aximum com fort in any w eather, at any outside temperature and during any season.
To ensure a constant and com fortable climate in the vehicle, the tempera ture of the inflowing air, the air-flow rate a nd the air distrib ution are cha nged automatically according to clim atic conditions outside the vehicle.
Temperature changes d ue to external influences, such as direct sunlight, are autom atic ally compensated.
When the c ooling unit (cooling comp ressor) is on, the air is cooled and dehumidified.
When set to automa tic mode, the electronic air c onditioning system prov ides the op tim um settings under almost all conditions. If necessary , the system can be influenced manually.
The electronic air conditioning system is only fully operational when the engine is running.

Pollen filterThe pollen filter cleans the air entering from outside and filters dust, soot, pollen and spores from the interior air if the air recirculation system is active.
The filter must be replac ed in a ccordance with the intervals spec ified in the Servic e Book let.
General informationIf the windsc reen m ists up during dam p weather, set a utoma tic air cond itioning as desc ribed in "Window d emisting and deicing" – see page 169.
The electronic air conditioning system functions most efficiently when the windows and sun roof 3 are closed. If the passenger compartment ha s heated up consid erably after a long period in direct sunlight, briefly open the windows and sun roof 3 so that the heated air can quickly esca pe.
For trouble-free operation of the electronic air conditioning system, d o not c over over the sensor between the air vents in front of the wind screen.
When the cooling (cooling compressor) is active, c ondensate will form and will be released from the underside of the vehicle.
175
MaintenanceIn order to ensure continuously efficient performance of the electronic air conditioning system it must be switched on once a month for a few minutes, irrespec tive of the wea ther and time of year, with the cooling (cooling c om pressor) opera tional.
If a fa ult occ urs in the electronic air conditioning system , consult a workshop. We recommend a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. The system’s integrated self-diagnostic s a llows faults to be quic kly rem edied.
176
Automatic transmission
After sta rting the engine, press brake pedal before selecting a gear. After a gear ha s been selected and the brake p edal has been released, the vehicle "creeps". Never op erate accelerator and brake at sam e tim e.
Once D has been selected, the economy driving p rogra mme is operative. Position D is g enerally ideal for d riv ing.
If the accelerator peda l is depressed gently and evenly the transmission w ill shift into the fuel-saving gears at an early stage. The gear need be cha nged m anually only in exc eptional cases. Select 3, 2 and 1 only when automatic shifting up is to b e avoided or if additional use is to be made of the engine braking effect.
Select D ag ain as soon as driving conditions perm it.
Selector lever in P, R and N P Park position. Front wheels locked. Only
with vehicle stationary and handbrake on.
R Reverse. To be enga ged only with vehicle stationary.
N Neutral.
The selector lever can only be moved from the P position with the ignition switched on and the foot brake operated (selector lever lock).
The engine can only b e started with lever in position P or N . When position N is selected, press foot brake or enga ge handbrake before starting.
Do not accelerate during the selection procedure.
Disregard of these instructions may lead to injuries or endanger life.
177
Gears D, 3, 2, 1D Drive position for normal d riv ing
conditions in first to fourth g ear.
3 Drive position for d riv ing cond itions in first, second a nd third gear.
2 Drive position for first and second gear, e.g. on winding mounta in road s; the transmission d oes not shift into third and fourth gea r.
1 Position for m aximum b ra king effect, e.g. when d riv ing down severe gradients; the transm ission d oes not shift beyond first gear.
After the engine ha s been started and D selected, the economy d riv ing prog ra mme is always operative.
Electronically controlled driving programmes z Sp orty programme:
Transm ission shifts at high engine speeds; tap b utton S (1 lights up)
z Economy programme: Transm ission shifts at lower engine speeds; tap b utton S again
z Winter programm e: Press button T – see next page
z Tra nsmission automatically selects neutral (N) to red uce fuel consumption, e.g . when stopped at traffic light.
Automatic neutral selection is activated if:– selector lever in D, 3, 2 or 1
and– park ing brake is op erated
and– vehicle is stopped
and– acc elerator pedal is not opera ted.
As soon as the brake is released and the accelerator ped al is depressed, the vehicle sta rts off in the usual manner
z By m eans of delayed shifting (higher engine sp eeds) following a cold start, the operating temperature programme quickly and autom atically brings the catalytic converter to the temp erature required for op tim um polluta nt reduction
z Adaptive programmes autom atically adapt gear shifting to suit the d riv ing cond itions, suc h as if the vehic le is tow ing a caravan / trailer, has a high payload, or is being driven on inclines
178
Winter programm e 3In the event of starting-off diffic ulties on slip pery roa ds, press button T (can be opera ted in P, R, N, D and 3 – c ontrol indicator T lights up). The vehicle starts off in third gear.
The w inter programme is sw itc hed off by: z Pressing button T again z Shifting to 2 or 1 manuallyz Turning off the ignition.
In order to prevent dama ge, the winter programme switches off automatically at high transmission oil temperatures.
Kickdown When the accelerator pedal is depressed beyond its resistance p oint below certain speeds, the transmission shifts down into a low er gear. Full use is made of the engine power for acceleration.
Engine braking assistance from motorIn order to utilize the engine braking effect when d riv ing downhill, select gear 3, 2 or if nec essary , 1 in good time.
The braking action is most effective in gear 1. If gear 1 is selec ted at too high a speed, the transmission remains in second gear until the shift p oint for first gear is reached, e.g . as a result of deceleration.
179
"Rocking the car"If it becomes necessary to rock the vehic le to free it from sand, m ud, snow or a hole, move the selector lever from D to R in a rep eat pa ttern while simultaneously apply ing light pressure to the ac celera tor pedal. Do not race the engine a nd avoid sud den acc eleration.
This a pplies only to the exc eptional circumstanc es mentioned above.
Manoeuvring the vehicleTo manoeuvre the vehicle b ack and forth during attempts to park or in garage entrances, the vehicle's c reep ing movem ent can be utilized by releasing the brake peda l.
Never ac tuate accelerator and b rake pedals simultaneously .
Stopping the vehicleThe selector lever can be left in the chosen gear with the engine running.
When stopping on gradients, engage handbrake or depress brake ped al. To prevent overheating of the tra nsmission, do not increa se engine revolutions to ensure smooth idling while standing if a gear has been selected.
Switc h off engine if stopping for a leng thy period , e.g. in traffic jams or at level crossings.
Before lea ving the vehicle, apply handbrake then pla ce selector lever in position P and remove ignition key .
If the ignition key is not removed , the battery may be discharged if the vehicle is then left to sta nd for a lengthy p eriod of time.
The ignition key can only be rem oved when the selector lever is in position P.
180
FaultControl indicator A illuminates when the ignition is switched on. If it does not go off after starting or comes on whilst driving, there is a fault in the automatic transm ission or the engine electronics.
The transm ission no longer shifts autom atic ally.
Driv ing can be continued. Second gear is not a vailable. Engag e first, third or fourth gear m anua lly using selector lever:
1 = 1st gear 2 = 3 rd gear 3 = 4 th gear D = 4th gearN = Neutral positionR = Reverse gearP = Pa rk position
Have the ca use of the fault rem edied. We recommend that you consult a Va uxha ll Authorised Repairer. The system’s integrated self-diag nostics a llows faults to be q uick ly remedied.
Interruption of power supplyIf the vehicle battery is flat, the selector lever c annot be moved out of position P.
If the battery is fla t, sta rt the vehicle using jump leads – see pa ge 212.
If the battery is not the cause of the fault, release selector lever:
1. Engage handbrake.
2. Diseng age cover from c entre c onsole below handbrake.
3. Diseng age selector lever trim from centre console and fold upwards.
181
4. Push catch forward with a screwdriver and move selec tor lever out of P.
5. Mount selector lever trim on centre console a nd refit.
6. Refit cover on centre console below handb ra ke.
Re-selecting P locks the selector lever again. Have c ause of power supply interruption remedied. We recom mend that you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Driving hints
The first 600 miles / 1000 km Drive your vehicle at various speeds. Do not use full throttle. Never allow the eng ine to labour at low revs.
Make good use of all gea rs. Depress the accelerator pedal a maximum of around three quarters of the ava ila ble ped al travel in all gears.
Do not drive faster than three quarters of max imum speed.
Do not brake unnecessarily hard for the first 125 miles (200 km ).
Never coast with engine not runningMany units w ill not function in this situation (e.g. brake servo unit, e lectro-hydraulic power steering). Driving in this ma nner is a danger to yourself a nd others.
Brake servo unit If the engine is not running, the effect of the brake servo stops after the brake ped al has been dep ressed once or tw ic e. This does not reduce the braking effect, but significantly more brake pedal pressure is required to operate the brake.
Power steeringIf the power-assisted steering fails when being towed with the engine switched off, the vehicle can still be steered but considera bly more forc e is req uired.
Driving in mountainous terrain or with a caravan / trailer The cooling fan is electrically operated. Its cooling p ow er is therefore independent of the engine speed.
Since a considerable amount of heat is genera ted at high engine speeds and less at slower speeds, do not shift d ow n when climbing hills whilst the vehicle is still coping with the gradient in the higher g ear.
Diesel engine: On rising gradients of 10 % or more, do not drive faster than 20 mph (30 km/h) in 1st gear or 30 mph (50 km /h) in 2nd gear; with automatic transmission 3, do not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h) in position 1.
Driving with a roof loadDo not exceed the perm issible roof load – see pages 204, 267. For reasons of safety, distribute the loa d evenly a nd secure it properly with reta ining straps so that it cannot slip . Set the ty re p ressure to the va lue sp ecified for a full load. Do not drive faster than 75 m ph (120 km/h). Check and retig hten the straps frequently.
Switching off the engineWhen you switch off the engine, fans in the eng ine compartm ent may continue running for a time to cool the engine.
If the engine temperature is very high, e.g. after driving in mountainous terrain: allow the engine to id le for approx im ately two minutes in order to prevent heat acc um ulation.
Vehicles with engine Z 20 LET1): After running at high eng ine speeds or high eng ine loads, op erate the engine briefly at a low load or run in neutral for approx. 30 seconds before switching off in order to protec t the turbocharger.

Save energy – more milesPlease observe the running-in hints on the previous pag e and the tips for energ y saving on the following pages.
Good, technica lly correct and economical driving ensures ma ximum durability and performance for your vehic le.
Overrun 3 The fuel supply is autom atically shut off during overrun, e.g. when the vehicle is being driven down long gradients or when braking. To enable the overrun cut-off to take effect, do not acc elerate during overrun and, if in manual transm ission mode, do not declutch. To prevent dam age to the cata lytic converter, overrun cut-off is temp orarily deactivated when the catalytic converter temperature is high.
Vehicles w ith engine Z 20 LET1): Flow -g enerated noises may be aud ible if the a ccelerator is released quickly on account of airflow in the turbocharger.
Engine speed Drive in a low engine speed range for each gear a s m uc h as possible.
Warming upAllow the engine to warm up while driving. Do not warm it up by letting it run at idling speed. Do not apply full throttle until the engine has reached op erating temperature.
Following a cold start, the automatic tra nsmission does not shift into the hig her gears until a fairly high eng ine speed has been reached. This ensures that the catalytic converter quickly attains the temperature required for optimum pollutant reduction.
Correct gear selectionDo not ra ce the engine whilst in neutral or with a low gea r selected. Driving too fast in indiv idua l gea rs as well as stop-a nd -g o tra ffic increases engine wear a nd fuel consumption.
Change down!When decreasing speed, shift down into the next lowest gear. Do not slip the clutch with a high-revving engine. This is especially important when hill climb ing.
Clutch operation Always d epress the c lutch pedal hard to the floor to p revent shifting difficulties and transmission damage.
When driving do not use the pedal as a footrest; this will cause sub stantial clutch wear.
PedalsDo not place any ob jects in the footwell which could slip under the ped als and inhibit the pedal travel.
To ensure the pedal travel is uninhibited, there must be no mats in the area of the pedals.
Battery care When driving slowly or when the vehicle is stationary , e.g. in slow urban traffic, stop-and-go traffic or traffic jams, turn off all unnecessary electrical load s w here possible (e. g. heated rear window, heated seats).
Declutch w hen sta rting, in ord er to relieve the strain on the starter and the ba ttery.

Save fuel,protect the environment
Trend-setting technologyWhen developing and manufac turing your vehic le, Vauxhall used environment-friendly and primarily rec yclable m aterials. The p roduction method s used to make your vehicle are likewise env ironmentally compatible.
Recycling of production wastes keeps the circulation of material closed. Reduction of energy a nd water requirements a lso help s to conserve natural resources.
The a dvanced design ma kes it easier to dismantle the vehicle at the end of its service life a nd separate materials for recycling.
Materia ls such as asbestos and cadmium are not used . The refrigerant in the air conditioning system 3 is CFC-free.
New painting techniques employ wa ter as a solvent.
End-of-life vehicle recovery Information on end-of-life vehicle recovery centres and the recycling of end-of-life vehicles is availab le at ww w.vauxhall.co.uk
Drive in an energy andenvironment-conscious wayz High fuel consumption, noise levels and
exhaust emission are often caused b y a driving style that is not energy and env ironment-c onscious
z You should therefore drive with energy in mind – "more miles with less fuel "
Reduce the noise level and exhaust emissions b y adopting an environment-consc ious driving style. This is extremely worthwhile and im proves quality of life.
Fuel consumption depends to a great extent on your own personal driving style. The follow ing hints are intended to help you consume fuel at a rate that is as close as possible to the specified levels – see page 265.
Check your vehic le’s fuel consum ption every time you refuel. This facilita tes early detection of a ny irregularities causing increased fuel consumption.
Warming upz Full throttle and w arming up at idle
speed increase w ear, fuel consumption, exhaust em ission, the am ount of pollutant in the exhaust and the am ount of noise
z Drive off imm ediately after starting. Wa rm up the engine b y running it at moderate eng ine speeds
Uniform speedz Hectic driving significantly increases fuel
consumption, the quantity of emission and the p roportion of polluta nt in the exhaust
z Do not accelerate a nd brake unnecessarily . Drive at uniform speed
Avoid frequent starting off and stopping e.g . at traffic lights, in short distance tra ffic and in queues of traffic by m eans of clever planning . Select road s w ith good traffic flow
Idlingz The eng ine also consumes fuel when
idling
z If you have to wait for more than one minute, it is worthwhile switching off the engine. Five m inutes of idling corresponds to ap prox imately 0.6 miles (1 k ilom etre) of d riv ing
185
Overrunz The fuel supply is automatically shut off
during overrun, e.g. when the vehicle is being driven down long gradients or when braking – see page 183.
z To enable the overrun cut-off to take effect a nd save fuel, during overrun do not ac celera te and do not declutch.
Correct gear selectionz High revs increase engine w ear and fuel
consumption.
z Do not race your engine. Avoid d riv ing at high engine speeds.
Driv ing with an eye on the tachom eter saves fuel. I f possib le, drive a t low revs in each gear and a t a consta nt speed. Drive in top g ear as m uch a s p ossible, shift up as soon as possib le and do not shift down until the engine is no longer running truly .
High speedz The faster the speed, the higher the
consumption and the noise level. Driving at full throttle uses up a g reat deal of fuel and generates excessive noise a nd hig h emission levels.
z Slightly relea sing the accelerator ped al results in distinct fuel savings with no major loss of speed.
Drive at no more tha n around three quarters of max imum speed and you will use up to 50 % less fuel, without losing a great deal of time.
Tyre inflation pressurez Inadequate ty re p ressure, leading to
higher road resistance, costs m oney in two wa ys; more fuel and increa sed tyre wear.
z Regular checks (every 14 d ays) pay off.
Electrical loadsz The power consum ption of electrical
equip ment increa ses fuel consumption.
z Sw itch off additional consumers (e.g. air conditioning 3, hea ted rear window) when they are no longer required.
Roof racks, ski-holdersz Roof loads can increase fuel
consump tion by approx. 3.5 g al./1000 miles (1l/100 km) due to a ir resistanc e.
z Remove them if they are not being used.
Repair and maintenancez Improper repairs or adjustm ent and
maintenance work can increase fuel consumption. Do not carry out w ork on the eng ine yourself.
You ma y infring e environmental la ws out of ignorance by not d isposing of materials properly.
Appropriate parts m ight not be rec ycled .
Contact with some of the materia ls involved may p ose a hea lth haz ard.
z We recom mend that repair and maintenance be entrusted to a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
Extreme driving conditionsz Driv ing up steep gradients, cornering,
driving on poor roads and winter driving all increase fuel consumption.
Fuel consumption increa ses dramatically in urba n tra ffic a nd at winter temperatures, especially on short trip s when the engine operating tempera ture is not reached.
z Follow the hints given above to keep consumption to a m inimum under suc h cond itions.

Special equipment increases the weight of the vehicle. As a result, they can increase fuel consump tion and reduce the specified speed.
There is increased friction betw een engine and transmission parts during the first 600 miles / 1000 kilometres. This inc reases fuel consum ption.
Fuel for petrol engines Commercially available high-quality fuels are suitable (ca talytic converter – see page 188, octane numb ers – see page 263). Fuel quality has a decisive influence on the power output, running behaviour and serv ice life of the engine. The additives contained in the fuel play an important role in this regard. You should therefore only use high-q uality fuels containing add itives.
Fuel with too low an octane number can cause pinking. Vauxhall cannot be held lia ble for resulting dama ge.
Petrol with a higher octane number can always be used.
Pump noz zles for lead ed fuel cannot be inserted into the filler neck of vehicles that op erate on unleaded fuel.
The ignition is automatically adapted depending on the typ e of fuel that is put into the tank (octane number) – see page 263.
Use of petrol w ith a n oc ta ne rating of 95 will ensure economica l driving.
Fuel for diesel engines Diesel engines m ust be operated only on comm ercially available diesel fuel meeting the specifications of DIN EN 590. Do not use m arine diesel oils, heating oils or entirely or partially plant-based diesel fuels, such as rape seed oil or bio diesel, Aquazole and similar diesel-water emulsions.
The flow and filterability of diesel fuel a re temperature-dependent.
Diesel fuels with improved low-tempera ture properties are therefore a vailable on the ma rket during the winter months. Make sure that you fill the tank with winter fuel before the start of the cold weather season.
Use of diesel fuels with m anufacturer-guaranteed winter properties, as well as the outside temperature-sensitive hea ted diesel fuel filter, eliminates the need for add itives.
187
Refuelling
Fuel filler neck at right rear side of vehicle.
The fuel tank cover is unlocked together with the doors.
Open the tank flap .
To op en, unscrew fuel tank cover, rem ove and suspend on tank flap.
The fuel tank has a limiting system which prevents overfilling of the tank.
Correct filling depends to a large extent on proper operation of the fuel disp ensing pump:
1. Fully insert the pump nozz le and switch it on.
2. After the automatic cut-off, the nominal capacity of the tank ca n be obtained by top ping up with two doses of fuel. Make sure the nozzle is fully inserted.
To close the filler cap, refit it and rotate it aga inst resista nce until the filler cap ratchet audibly click s.
C lose fuel tank cover.
Wipe off a ny overflowing fuel immediately .
Care must be taken when handling fuel.
Before refuelling , switch off engine a nd any external hea ters with combustion cha mbers before refuelling. Switch mobile phones off.
Petrol is flam mable and explosive. Please therefore avoid na ked fla mes and sp arks when handling fuel, even when you are in the v icinity of fuel.
Do not smoke!
This also applies in plac es where petrol can only b e detected by its characteristic smell. If you can sm ell petrol in the vehicle, have the ca use remedied im med ia tely. We recommend tha t you consult a Vauxhall Authorised R epairer.

Catalytic converter, exhaust gases
Catalytic converter for petrol engines 3 Leaded fuel will da mage the cata lytic converter and parts of the electronic system, thereby rendering them inoperative.
Use of high-qua lity fuels other than those specified on p age 263 (e. g. LRP1) ) could damage the catalytic converter.
On vehicles with a c atalytic converter, the fuel ta nk filler nec k is of a narrow design so that a dispensing pump for leaded fuel cannot b e inserted .
Dama ge to the catalytic converter or the vehicle m ay result if the following points are not observed :
z Consult a workshop, such as a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, as quickly as possible in the event of misfiring, irregular engine running following a cold start, a significant loss of engine power or other unusual malfunctions which may indica te a fa ult in the ignition system. If necessary, d riv ing may be continued for a short time at a low speed and with a low engine speed.
Irregular engine running a nd a loss of engine power when the Traction Control system 3 or the Electronic Stability Program me 3 come into action are determined b y the op erating conditions and are therefore of no significance – see pages 192, 193.
z If unb urnt fuel enters the c atalytic converter, this may result in overheating and irrepairable damag e to the catalytic converter.
You should therefore avoid frequent cold-starts, unnecessarily long use of the starter when setting off, running the tank dry (an irreg ular fuel supp ly lea ds to overhea ting) and starting the engine by pushing or towing.
1) LRP = Lead Replacem ent Petro l.

z If the emission control indicator Z flashes, slow down until the flashing stops and the c ontrol indicator is lit with a steady glow. Contact a workshop im med ia tely. We recomm end a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. Emission control indica tor Z – see page 190.
Catalytic converter for diesel engines 3 Damage to the ca talytic converter or the vehicle may result if the follow ing points are not observed:
z Consult a workshop, such a s a Va uxha ll Authorised Repairer, as quickly as possible in the event of irregular engine running, a significant loss of engine power or other unusual malfunctions. I f necessary , driving may be continued for a short time at a low speed and with a low engine speed.
Irregular engine running and a loss of eng ine power when the Traction Control system 3 or the Electronic S ta bility Programme 3 com e into action are determined by the opera ting conditions and a re therefore of no sig nificance – see p ages 192, 193.
Controlling exhaust emissionThroug h design-rela ted measures – mainly in the area of the fuel-injection and ignition systems – the proportion of nox ious ma terials in the exhaust, such as carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC) a nd nitrogen oxides (NOx), is reduced to a minimum.
190
Control indica tor Z for exhaust Lights up when ignition is switched on a nd rem ains illuminated during starting. Goes out shortly a fter engine starts.
An illumina ting indica tor with the engine running is an indication of a fault in the emission control system. The permitted emission values may be exceeded. Contact a w orkshop imm ediately. We recomm end that you consult a Va uxha ll Authorised Repairer.
Flashing with the engine running indicates a fault that may damage the catalytic converter. You can continue to drive without causing damage by slowing down until the fla shing stop s and the control indica tor is stead y. Consult a workshop immed iately. We recommend tha t you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
Control indic ator A for eng ine electronics Lights up for a few second s when ignition is switched on.
If the light comes on when the eng ine is running, there is a fault in the engine or transmission electronics. The electronics switch to limp-home mode, fuel consum ption m ay increase and the driveability of the vehicle may be affected .
In some cases, the fa ult c an be remedied by switching the engine off and on aga in. If the c ontrol indicator lights again when the eng ine is running, consult a workshop to have the cause of the fault rem edied. We recommend a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
191
If it lights up briefly and then goes out again this is of no significance.
If it flashes w hen the ignition is on there is a fault in the imm obiliser system – see pa ge 59.
Exhaust gases – avoid inhaling!
When the vehicle is driven for the first tim e, wax a nd oil on the exhaust system may evap orate, producing smoke-like emissions. Allow wax and oil to evaporate while the vehicle is in op en air. Avoid inhaling.
MaintenanceHave a ll maintenance work carried out at the intervals sp ecified by Vauxhall. We recommend that you entrust this work to a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who has proper equipm ent and trained personnel available. Electronic testing systems permit rapid diagnosis and remedy of faults. This way you can b e certain that all components of the vehicle’s electrica l, injection and ignition systems operate correc tly , that your vehicle has a low level of pollutant emission and that the catalytic converter system will ha ve a long service life.
You are thereby making an im portant contribution towards keeping the air clean and c om plying with emissions legisla tion.
The inspection w ork inc ludes testing and adjusting the fuel injection system and the ignition system. For this reason, ha ve all service work carried out at the intervals spec ified in the Service Booklet.
Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide, which has no colour or odour and can b e fatal if inhaled.
If exhaust fumes penetrate the vehicle interior, open the windows and consult a workshop immediately . We recommend that you consult a Va uxhall Authorised Repairer.
192
Drive control systems
Traction Control System (TC) 3 The TC (Traction Control system ) 3 prevents the driving w heels from spinning, irrespec tive of the roa d condition a nd tyre grip.
The system monitors the rotational speed of all wheels. As soon as at least one driving wheel starts to spin, the eng ine output is reduced (the sound of the engine changes) a nd the spinning wheel is braked. This im proves the vehicle's directional control and driving power, particularly on snow and ice as well a s on wet or slippery roads.
The TC is ready for operation as soon as the ignition is switched on and the control indica tor v goes out.
When TC is operating, v flashes.
The vehicle is now in a critica l situation; the TC allow s you to keep control of the vehicle and rem inds you to m atch your speed to the road conditions.
Control ind icator v Lights up for a few seconds when ignition is switched on. The system is now ready for op eration.
Flashing during driving:This shows the system has come into action. The engine output ma y be reduced (the sound of the engine changes) and the vehicle may be braked automatically to a sma ll degree.
Lit during driving:Fault in TC system. Vehicle can continue to be driven. Driv ing stability m ay be worse if driving style is not adapted, depending on acc eleration and type of road surface because of drive wheel spinning.
Have the cause of the fa ult remedied. We recommend that you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer. The system’s integrated self-diagnostics allows faults to be quickly remedied .
Do not let this special safety fea ture tempt you into ta king risks when d riv ing.
Traffic safety c an only be achieved by adopting a responsible driving style.
193
Electronic Stability Program me (ESP) 3 The ESP (E lectronic Stability Program me) improves driving sta bility when necessary, independently of the type of road surfa ce and the tyre grip in a ny driving situation. It also includes the Traction Control system (TC) function.
The system monitors vehicle m ovements. As soon as the vehicle tends to swerve, the engine power is reduced (engine noise changes) and individ ual wheels are specifically braked. This considera bly improves the driving stability of the vehicle, particularly on snow and ice and on wet or slip pery roa d surfaces.
The ESP is rea dy for operation a s soon as the ig nition is switched on and the control indicator v goes out.
When the ESP comes into action, v flashes.
The vehic le is now in a critical situation; the ESP allows you to keep control of the vehic le and reminds you to match your speed to the road conditions.
Control ind icator v Lights up for a few seconds when ignition is switched on. The system is now ready for op eration.
Flashing during driving:This shows the system has come into action. The engine output ma y be reduced (the sound of the engine changes) and the vehicle may be braked automatically to a sma ll degree.
Lit during driving:Fault in ESP system. Vehicle can continue to b e driven. However, driving stability may worsen depending on type of road surface.
Have the cause of the fa ult remedied. We recommend that you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer. The system’s integrated self-diagnostics allows faults to be quickly remedied .
Do not let this special safety fea ture tempt you into ta king risks when d riv ing.
Traffic safety c an only be achieved by adopting a responsible driving style.
194
Cruise control 3 The cruise control makes it possible to store and m aintain a ny sp eed from approx. 20 mph (30 km/h) to almost max imum speed.
For safety reasons, the c ruise c ontrol cannot be activated until the foot brake has been activated once.
The c ruise c ontrol is operated with the buttons I , R and O on the turn signal stalk.
Do not use the c ruise control if it is not adv isable to maintain a c onstant sp eed (e.g. in situations presenting a danger to yourself and other road users, in heavy traffic or on winding , slippery or greasy roads).
With autom atic transmission, it is a dvisa ble to sw itc h on the cruise control only w hen D is engaged.
When the cruise control is active, reaction times may be increased due to the different position of the feet.
To activate:Ta p button I: The current speed is stored and maintained. The acc elera tor p edal can be released.
The vehic le speed ca n be increased by depressing the a ccelerator peda l. When the accelerator pedal is released, the previously stored speed is resumed.
IncreaseWith cruise control active, hold down button I or tap it repeatedly: The speed is increased c ontinuously or in steps of 1.2 m ph (2 km/h) without using the accelerator ped al.
The current speed is stored and saved a fter the I button has been released.
ReduceWith cruise control a ctive, hold down button R or tap it repeatedly: The speed is reduc ed c ontinuously or in steps.
The current speed is stored and sa ved after the R button ha s b een relea sed.
To deact ivate:Tap button O : The cruise control is switched off. The vehicle slowly decelerates. To continue driving, dep ress the accelerator ped al in the usua l way.
For reasons of safety , cruise control is switched off in certain driving conditions,e.g.:
z The vehicle's sp eed drop s below ap prox . 20 mp h (30 km/h) or
z The brake pedal is depressed or
z The clutch pedal is dep ressed or
z The selector lever of vehicles with autom atic transmission is set to N.
Resuming the stored speedTap button R at a speed a bove 20 mph(30 km/h): The speed selected before the cruise control w as switched off is resumed.
The stored speed is erased when the ignition is switched off.
Disreg ard of these instructions may lead to injuries or end ang er life.
195
Parking distance sensors 3 The parking distance sensors make reverse parking easier by measuring the distance between the rear of the vehicle a nd an obstacle through ultrasonic reflection a nd warning you with an a coustic signal in the passenger com partment.
The system record s the distance using four sensors in the rear bumper.
When the ig nition is sw itched on, the parking distance sensors are autom atically enab led w hen reverse gear is selected or the selector lever is moved to R in vehicles with a utoma tic transm ission. Readiness for opera tion is indicated by brief acoustic alarm.
If the vehicle slowly gets close to an obstacle w hile reversing, an intermittent acoustic signal is audible in the passenger compartment when the vehicle tail is less than one m etre from the obstacle. The interval between the signals becomes shorter as the distance is reduced. If the distance is less than 30 c m, a continuous signa l is aud ible.
The system registers the distanc e by m eans of four sensors on the rear bump er. To ensure that the sensors function correctly and that the information provided is correct, they must be undam aged and free of dirt, snow and ice.
Towing eq uipment, c aravan / trailer tow ingIf towing eq uipm ent is fitted to the vehicle, the system must be set to the a ppropriate vehicle length. We recommend that you contact a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
Fitting rear load racks 3 Rear load racks, e. g. bicycle ra cks, fitted nea r the sensors could disrupt the system .
FaultIf a system fault occurs, a continuous acoustic signal is sounded at a dista nce of one metre from the obstacle. Have the cause of the fault remedied . We recommend that you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer. The system’s integrated self-diagnostics allows faults to be quickly remedied .
In order to avoid operationa l problems or erroneous information, the sensors m ust be undamag ed a nd free of soiling, snow and ice.Under certain circumstances, various
reflective surfaces on objects or clothing as well as external noise sources may cause the system to fail to d etec t obstacles. For this reason, care must be taken w hen reversing even if the parking distance sensors a re opera tional. This is of particular importance when in the vicinity of p edestrians.
196
Brakes Brake systemThe efectiveness of the brakes is an important fa ctor for traffic safety .
To improve effectiveness, do not brake unnec essarily ha rd for the first 125 miles (200 km) after new brake p ads ha ve been fitted.
Brake pad wear must not exceed a specified lim it. Reg ular maintenance as detailed in the Service Booklet is therefore of the utmost im porta nce for traffic sa fety.
Have worn brake pads replaced. We recommend that you consult a Va uxha ll Authorised Repairer, who will fit pads that ha ve b een tested a nd approved by Vauxhall and guarantee optimum braking power.
Brake pads which have worn down to minim um thickness will squeal. Driv ing may be c ontinued. Have the b rake pads replaced as soon a s p ossible. We recommend a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
Foot bra keThe foot brake comprises two independent brake circuits.
If one brake c ircuit fails, the vehicle can still be braked using the other b ra ke circ uit. If this occurs, how ever, the brake peda l m ust be depressed farther a nd considerable force must be used before braking effec t is felt. Braking distance increases. Seek the help of a workshop before continuing to drive. We recomm end a Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer.
To ensure the full peda l travel can be utilized, especially in case of a fault in one of the b ra ke circuits, there m ust be no ma ts in the area of the ped als – see page 183.
197
With the engine stopp ed the servo assistance is discontinued after the brake pedal has been depressed once or twice. The brak ing action will not be reduced but increased foot pressure will be necessary. Take extra care when the vehicle is being towed .
Check the brake lights b efore starting out on a journey. On vehicles with check control 3 the brake lights are checked automatically – see page 48.
Just before sta rting a ny journey, check effectiveness of brake system at slow speed and w ithout obstructing m ov ing traffic, particularly if b ra kes are wet, e.g. after driv ing through a car wash.
The b ra ke fluid level should be checked reg ularly . If the brake fluid level is too low and the hand brake is not ap plied, control indicator R on the instrum ent panel lights up – see page 33.
Handbra keAlw ays apply handb ra ke firmly . On slopes apply the handb ra ke as firmly as possible.
The mechanical handbrake a ffects the rear wheel brakes. They automatically engag e when the lever is pulled.
To release the handbrake, lift lever slightly, press knob and lower lever.
Brake system control indicator R Control indicator lights up when ignition is switched on if handbrake is applied and/or fluid level for brake system or clutc h hydraulics is too low.
Brake fluid level – see page 250.
If it lights up when the ha ndb ra ke is not applied : Stop the vehic le; interrupt your journey immediately . Consult a workshop. We rec om mend a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
198
ABS u The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) 3 continuously monitors the vehicle’s brake system a nd prevents the wheels from locking regardless of roa d condition and tyre grip.
It starts to regulate the braking p ressure as soon as a w heel shows a tendency to lock. The vehicle remains steera ble, even in the event of very heavy braking, for instance on bends or when sw erving to avoid an obstacle. Even in the ca se of full-on braking, the ABS makes it p ossible to drive round an obsta cle without releasing the brakes.
AB S control is m ade apparent through a pulse in the brake pedal a nd the noise of the reg ulation process.
To achieve optimum b ra king, keep the brake ped al fully depressed throug hout the braking proc ess, despite the fact tha t the pedal is pulsa ting. Do not reduce the pressure on the ped al.
Do not let this special safety feature tempt you into taking risks when driving.
Tra ffic safety can only b e ac hieved by adopting a responsible d riv ing sty le.
199
Control indica tor u for ABSWhen the ig nition is sw itched on, the control indica tor lig hts up for a few seconds. At the sam e time, the system performs a self-check which m ay be audible. The system is ready for operation when the control indica tor g oes out.
If the control indicator does not g o out after a few seconds, or if it lights up during driving, there is a fault in the ABS. The vehic le's brake system remains operational without AB S reg ulation.
You can continue driving, provided you drive with care and anticipation.
Have the cause of the fa ult remedied. We recommend that you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer. The system’s integrated self-diagnostics allows faults to be quickly remedied .
If there is a fault in the ABS, the rear wheels may tend to lock in the event of unusually heavy braking. This may cause the vehicle to swerve. The benefits of the ABS are lost.
200
Wheels, tyres TyresSee pag e 270 for suitable ty res and restrictions.
Factory-fitted tyres are matched to the cha ssis and offer optimum d riv ing c om fort and safety.
Changing tyre / wheel typeBefore c hanging to ty res or wheels of a different size, seek advice as regards technical possibilities. We recommend that you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who will be awa re of any necessary changes.
When using different tyre sizes than those fitted in the w orkshop (including winter tyres), the electronic speedometer m ay need reprogramm ing in ord er to ensure that the speed display is ac curate.
Fitting new tyr esPlea se fit ty res in pairs. Sets would be even better. Replace tyres on a n axle with;z The same siz e,z The same design,z The same make,z The same tread pattern
Fit directional tyres such that they roll in the direction of travel. The rolling direction is indicated by a symbol (e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall.
Tyres fitted opposing the rolling direction (e.g. when a tyre is changed) should be refitted as soon as possible. This is the only way to benefit fully from the d esign properties of the tyre.
Use of unsuitab le tyres or wheels m ay lead to accidents and render the vehicle un-roa dworthy .
We recommend that you have your ty res chang ed b y a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who will b e familiar w ith the requirem ents of the law a s regards disposal of tyres and can thus help to protect the environment and your health.
201
Tyre inflation pressureCheck ty re pressures, including the spare wheel, at least every 14 days and prior to any long journey; the ty res should be checked when cold. Don't forget to check the spare.
Use the valve cap key to make unscrewing the valve caps easier. The key is located on the inside of the tank flap.
Tyre pressure, see page 270, and the adhesive foil beneath the fuel tank flap; have a dhesive foil replaced after changing to different tyre size.
Increa sed pressure resulting from tyre warm-up must not be red uced, otherw ise the p ressure may drop below the permissible minimum.
After having checked the ty re p ressures, tighten the valve caps using the valve cap key.
Incorrect infla tion pressures will imp air safety, vehicle handling, comfort and fuel economy and will increase tyre wear.
If the pressure is too low, this can result in considera ble ty re warm -up and internal damage, leading to trea d separation and even to tyre blowout at high sp eeds.
Hidden tyre d amage is not eliminated by subsequently adjusting the inflation pressure.
Tyre condition, wheel condition Drive over edges slowly and at right angles if possible. Driving over sharp ed ges can cause concealed damag e to ty res and wheels that only becom es noticeable later.
Do not trap ty res when pa rk ing.
Check ty res regularly for d amage (foreign bodies, punctures, cuts, cracks, bulges in sidewa lls). Check wheels for dam age. In the event of damag e or ab normal wear, consult a workshop. We recommend a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.Incorrect ty re pressure may result in tyre
blowout.
Damage may lead to tyre blowout.
202
Tread depthCheck tread depth regularly. Should the front tyres show greater wea r than the rear tyres, have both front wheels excha ng ed with the rear wheels so that the tyres w ith deeper tread are on the front ax le.
Tyres should be replaced for safety rea sons if tread dep th drops below 2-3 m m (4 mm for winter tyres).
The leg ally permissible minimum trea d depth (1.6 mm) has been reached when the tread has worn down as far as one of the wear indicators (TWI1)). A number of wear indicators are sp aced at eq ual intervals around the tyre within the trea d. Their position is indicated by m arkings on the tyre sid ewall.
General informationz The risk of aq ua planing is considerably
greater with less trea d depth
z Tyres age, even if they a re used only very little or not at all. A spare wheel which has not been used for 6 years should be used w ith ca re
z Never fit used tyres the previous history and use of which you do not know
z So as not to impair b ra ke cooling, use only wheel covers ap proved for use on your vehicle

208
Caravan and trailer loads1)
The p ermissible caravan / trailer loads are vehic le-dependent a nd engine-dependent maximum values which must not be exceeded. The ac tual carava n / trailer load is the difference b etween the actual gross weight of the caravan / trailer and the actual coupling socket load with the carava n / trailer coupled. When the carava n / trailer load is being checked, therefore, only the c aravan / tra iler wheels and not the jockey wheel, m ust b e standing on the weighing apparatus.
The p ermissible caravan / trailer loads for your vehicle are given in the vehicle documents. Unless otherwise stated, they are valid for grad ients up to max. 12 %.
The permitted c aravan / trailer load must only be used by drivers with adequate exp erience driving large or hea vy trailers.
The specified towing weight only applies to the specified incline and a ltitudes up to 1000 m etres ab ove sea level. S inc e engine power degrades as elevation increases because of the lower air density at greater altitudes and climb ing cap ability therefore decreases, the towing w eight must be reduced by a further 10 % p er 1000 metres of additional altitude. When d riv ing on road s w ith few inclines (less than 8 %, e. g. motorwa ys) the total towing weight does not have to be reduced.
The actual caravan / trailer loa d plus the actual g ross vehicle weight must not exceed the maximum permitted towing weight. For example, if the perm itted gross vehicle w eight is utilised , the c aravan / trailer loa d must only be used until the ma ximum permitted tow ing weight is reached. The maximum permitted tow ing weight is shown on the identification plate – see page 260.
1) Observe nation al regulations.
209
Coupling socket loadThe c oupling socket load is the load exerted by the caravan / tra iler on the coupling b all. It can be va ried by changing the w eight distribution when loa ding the carava n / trailer.
The ma ximum permissible coup ling socket load (75 kg) for the towing vehicle is indicated on the towing equipment identification plate and in the vehicle documents. Always aim for the m aximum load, particularly in the ca se of heavy carava ns / trailers. The coup ling socket load should never fall below 25 kg .
When m easuring the coupling socket load, make sure that the draw bar of the loaded caravan / trailer is at the same height as it will be when the c aravan / trailer is coupled with the towing vehicle loaded. Particularly important for trailers / caravans w ith tand em axle.
Rear axle load during towingWhen the caravan / trailer is coupled and the tow ing vehicle fully loaded (including all occupa nts), the permissib le rear axle load (see identification plate or vehicle documents) ma y be exceeded by 75 kg and the gross vehicle w eight rating by 45 kg. If the permissible rear a xle loa d is exceeded, a maxim um sp eed of 60 m ph (100 km/h). applies. If na tional regula tions spec ify a lower maxim um sp eed for vehicles towing a ca ra van / trailer, this must be observed.

Tyre inflation pressureIncrea se the ty re pressure of the towing vehic le in acc orda nce with the loa d, for tyre pressures - see page 270. Also check the pressure of the caravan / trailer wheels and the spa re wheel.
Driving characteristics , towing tipsIn the case of caravans / trailers with b rake, attach breakaway stopping ca ble to eye.
Before a tta ching the carava n / trailer, lubricate the ball of the ca ra van / trailer tow ing devic e. H ow ever, do not do so if a stabiliser, which acts on the coupling ba ll, is being used to damp rolling motions.
Handling is greatly influenced by the loa ding of the caravan / trailer. Loads should therefore be secured so that they cannot slip and be p laced in the centre of the caravan / trailer if possible, i.e. above the axle.
Do not drive ab ove 50 mph (80 km/h) when using caravans / tra ilers with poor driving stability, a nd the use of a friction-type roll dam per is urgently recomm ended .
Check c aravan / trailer lighting before starting to drive. The fog tail lig hts on the vehicle a re deactivated when towing a caravan or trailer.
Do not drive faster than 50 m ph (80 km/h) if possible, even in countries where higher speeds are permitted.
Make sure that you ha ve enoug h room when cornering and avoid sudden ma noeuvres.
If the caravan / trailer starts to sway, drive more slowly , do not attem pt to correct the steering and brake sha rp ly if necessary .
211
The cooling fan is electrically operated. Its cooling power is therefore independent of the engine speed.
Since a considerable amount of heat is generated at high engine sp eed s a nd less at slower speeds, d o not shift down when climbing hills whilst the vehicle is still coping with the g ra dient in the higher gea r.
Diesel engines: On rising gradients of 10 % or more, do not drive faster than 20 mph (30 km/h) in 1st g ear or 30 mph (50 km/h) in 2nd gea r; with automatic transm ission 3, in position 1 do not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h).
When coupled to a caravan / trailer the vehic le requires more b ra king effort when driving down long g ra dients, so select the same gear as you would driving uphill a nd drive at roughly the sam e speed. With automatic transmission engage gear 3, 2 or even 1.
Select D again as soon as driv ing conditions permit.
If it is necessary to a pply the brakes fully, depress the brake ped al as hard as possible.
Remember that the bra king dista nce for vehicles towing ca ravans / trailers with a nd without brakes is always greater than the braking distance for vehicles not towing a caravan / trailer.
Starting on inclines
212
Self-help Diesel fuel system, bleeding Never let the tank run dry !
The diesel fuel system is extremely difficult to bleed after running the ta nk dry because of the extremely high injection pressure. Consult a workshop. We recom mend a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. R efuel as soon as possible if control indicator Y illuminates, and refuel immediately if control indicator flashes.
Do not start with quick chargerThis prevents damag e to electronic components.
Do not start by pushing or towing Because your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter, it must not be started by pushing or tow ing.
Starting the engine with jump leads 3 A vehicle with a discha rg ed battery can be started using jump leads and the battery of another vehicle.
z Never expose the battery to naked fla mes or sparks
z Do not allow battery fluid to come into contac t with eyes, skin, fabrics or painted surfaces. The fluid contains sulphuric acid w hich ca n cause injuries and dama ge in the event of direc t contac t
z To lessen the risk of injury , wear eye protection when working near any battery
z Use auxiliary battery with sam e volta ge (12 volts). Its capacity (Ah) m ust not be considera bly less than that of the discharged ba ttery. Voltage and capacity information can be found on the batteries
Disreg ard of these instructions may lead to injuries or end ang er life. Vehicle passengers should be informed according ly .
This must be done with extreme care. Any deviation from the following instructions could lead to persona l injury or dam age resulting from b attery explosion, a s w ell as to dam age to the electrical systems in both vehicles.
213
z Do not d isconnect the disc ha rg ed battery from the vehicle
z Switch off all unnecessary electrical consumers
z Do not lean over the battery during jump starting
z Do not allow the terminals of one lead to touch those of the other lead
z Ap ply handbrake. Place gearshift lever in neutral (a utoma tic transmission 3 to P).
Connect the leads in the order shown in the illustration:1. Connec t one end of the first jump lead to
the positive term ina l 1 of the battery providing the jum p start (identified b y "+ " sign on battery case or terminal).
2. Connec t the other end of this lead to the positive terminal 2 of the discharged battery ("+" sig n).
3. Connec t the first end of the other jum p lead to the negative terminal 3 of the battery providing the sta rt (" –" sign).
4. Connec t the other end of the second jump lead 4 to ground on the other vehicle, e.g. engine block or screw connection in the engine suspension.
z Do not connect lead s to negative terminal of discharged battery !
z The connection point should be as far away from the discharged battery as possible
z Route the leads so tha t they cannot catch on rotating parts in the engine compartment
z The eng ine of the vehicle prov iding the jum p sta rt can be allowed to run d uring starting. Attempts to start the engine of the vehicle with the disc ha rg ed b attery should be made at intervals of one minute and should not la st longer tha n 15 seconds. After starting, allow both engines to idle for approx. 3 minutes w ith the leads still connected
z In order to a void excess voltage in the electric al system, b efore removing a lead, sw itc h on a n electrica l load (e.g. light, heated rear w indow) in the vehicle receiving the jump start
z Reverse above seq uence exac tly when removing leads

Maintenance,Inspection system
In order to guarantee econom ical and safe vehicle operation and to m ainta in the value of your vehicle, it is of vital importanc e that all maintenance work is carried out at the proper intervals as specified b y Vauxhall.
The next serv ice is indicated by the serv ice interval display depending on time or mileage interva ls, whic hever is reached first.
The service interval display takes no account of off-the-road periods during whic h the battery is disconnected.
The maintenance intervals specified in the Serv ic e Book let ha ve priority a nd should be ob served.
Serv ic e interval display – see page 38.
In the case of vehicles driven infrequently with frequent cold sta rts or predomina ntly in urba n traffic a nd stop-and-go traffic, an add itional engine oil and engine oil filter change is advisable.
Further information on service and the inspection system ca n be found in the Service Booklet, which is in the glove compa rtm ent.
Have maintena nce work, as well as repairs to the b odywork and units, ca rried out by a professional. We recommend a Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer, who is conversant with Vauxhall vehicles and in possession of the special tools required and the latest Service Instructions from Vauxhall. In ord er to avoid invalidation of any warranty claim, it is especially important to entrust work to a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer during the warranty period. For further inform ation, see the Service Booklet.
Sepa rate anti-c orrosion service Have this service p erform ed b y a Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer once a year, either as part of a Service or sep arately - see Service Booklet. To avoid inva lid ation of a ny warranty claim aga inst rust-throug h, we recommend that you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer.
245
A note on safetyTo avoid injury from c ables conducting ignition volta ge, only carry out engine compartment checks (e.g. checking the brake fluid level or engine oil level) when the ig nition is switched off.
Never ca rry out any repairs or a djustment and maintenance work on the vehicle yourself. This especially applies to the engine, cha ssis a nd safety parts. You m ay out of ignorance infringe the provisions of the law a nd , by not performing the w ork prop erly, you may endanger yourself and other road users.
Checking and topping up fluidsTo aid identification, the engine oil filler cap , the c oolant expansion ta nk cap, the lid of the fluid container for the wind screen wash system a nd headlight wa sh system and the handle of the oil dipstic k are coloured yellow.
Engine oilThe engine oils mentioned on page 261 are particularly suitable for the engine.
These hig h-quality oils are suitab le for summer and winter operation.
Com mercially available oils with the proper grade and v iscosity c la ss m ay be used. Pay strict attention to the information on pag e 261.
In the case of b ra nd oils the m anufacturers are responsible for ensuring that the oils they supp ly are suitable for Va uxha ll vehicles.
The cooling fan is controlled by a thermo-switch a nd can therefore start unexpectedly even if the ignition is switched off. Risk of injury.
Elec tronic ignition systems use a very high voltag e. Do not touch the ignition system ; danger to life.
246
Eng ine oi l level and consum ption All engines c onsume oil for technica l rea sons. The engine oil consump tion ca n only be assessed after d riv ing a long distance, and may be above the specified value during the initial stage (run-in period). Frequent driving a t hig h revs causes oil consumption to increa se.
For this rea son the engine oil level should be checked every 600 m iles (1,000 km) or before sta rting a long trip.
This a lso app lies to vehicles with check control 3, in which the oil level is monitored automatically – see page 48. If the message "Eng ine Oil Level" appears in the display, check the oil level using the dipstick and top up as necessary.
Engine oil level chec k,topping up engine oilThe illustrations show chec king and top ping up the oil levels of eng ines Z 16 XE, Z 18 XE and Y 20 DTH.1)
The oil level m ust be checked with the vehicle on a level surface and with the engine (which m ust be at operating temperature) switched off. Wait at least five m inutes before checking the level to allow the normal oil ac cum ulation in the engine to d rain back into the oil pan.
To check the level, remove the oil gauge (dipstick), wipe it clean and reinsert it as far as it will g o. Top up if the oil level has dropped to just above the "a dd oil" m ark MIN.
The oil level must not go above the upper ma rk MAX on the dipstick. Excess oil must be dra ined or extracted by suction. If the oil level does go above the mark MAX there is a risk of damage to the engine or ca ta lytic converter.
The amount filled must be between the MIN and MA X m arks – see page 273.
1) Sales designation – s ee page 263.
Im porta nt : I t is the owner’s responsibility to maintain the proper level of an appropriate quality oil in the engine. .
247
Top up using oil brand that was used a t last oil cha ng e. Ob serve notes and oil tab le on page 261.
Ca pacities – see p age 273.
The oil consumption will not stabilize until the vehicle has been driven several thousand miles. Only then can the ac tual ra te of consum ption b e estab lished .
Oil chang e, oi l filter cha ng e Perform change in a ccordance with serv ic e interva l ind icator.
We recommend that you use g enuine Vauxhall oil filters.
Used oil filters and empty oil containers should not be disp osed of as domestic refuse. We recomm end that you entrust oil and oil filter changes to a Va uxha ll Authorised Repa irer, who is familiar with legal requirem ents reg arding disposa l of used oil and can thus help to p rotect both the env ironment and your hea lth.
248
Diesel fuel f ilterCheck fuel filter for a ny w ater residue when each engine oil cha ng e takes place. We recom mend that you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
Have filter checked at shorter intervals in the c ase of extreme opera ting conditions suc h a s high humidity (prima rily in coastal areas), extremely high or low outside tem peratures and substantially varying daytim e a nd nig ht-time tem peratures.
Coolant During operation the system is pressurized. The temp erature ma y therefore rise briefly to over 100 °C.
The glycol-ba sed coolant provides exc ellent corrosion protection for the heating and cooling systems as well as anti-freeze protection down to –28 °C. It remains in the cooling system throughout the year and need not b e changed.
Certain a ntifreezes ca n lead to engine damage. Make sure that you are inform ed! We therefore recom mend the use of antifreezes that have b een approved by Vauxhall.
Anti -freeze a nd corrosion protect ionBefore the sta rt of the cold weather season, have the coolant checked for correct concentration using a calibrated hydrometer. We recom mend that you consult a Vauxha ll Authorised Repairer. The anti-freeze content must guarantee frost protection down to approxima tely –28 °C. An insufficient concentration will reduc e frost and corrosion protection. Add anti-freeze if necessary.
If c oolant loss is topped up with wa ter, have concentration checked and a dd anti-freeze if necessary.
Anti-freeze is a da nger to health; it must therefore be kept in the original container and out of the reach of children.
249
Coola nt level Hardly any losses occur since the cooling system is sealed and it is thus rarely necessary to top up the c oolant.
The c oolant level in the expansion tank should b e slightly above the KALT / COLD mark when the system is cold. It rises a t engine operating temperature and drops again when the engine cools down. If the level falls below the m ark, the coola nt should b e filled with antifreeze to a little over the ma rk .
If no antifreeze is available, fill with clean drink ing water or d istilled water.
After topping up w ith tap or distilled water, ha ve the anti-freez e concentration checked, a nd anti-freeze added if necessary. H ave the cause of the coolant loss remedied. We recommend that you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
When closing, tighten coola nt filler cap as fa r as it will go.
Coolant temp era tureFor physical reasons, the engine temperature gauge shows the coolant temperature only if the coolant level is adequate.
During operation the system is pressurized. The tem perature may therefore rise to over 100 °C.
If the temp erature g auge enters the red zone, check the coolant level immediately.
z Coolant level too low:Top up coolant, chec k coolant level. Have the cause of coola nt loss remedied. We recom mend that you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
z Coolant level OK:Have the cause of the inc reased coolant temperature remed ied. We rec om mend tha t you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
Allow engine to cool d ow n before removing coola nt filler ca p. Remove filler cap carefully so that p ressure can escape slowly, otherwise there is a risk of scalding.
250
Brake fluid Brake fluid level
The fluid level in the container must be neither higher than the MAX ma rk nor lower than the MIN mark.
Use of som e b ra ke fluids could cause damage or impa ir braking effectiveness. Stay well informed. We recommend that you only use Vauxhall-approved high performance brake fluid.
Extreme cleanliness is im porta nt, since brake fluid contam ination can lead to brake system malfunctions.
After correcting the brake fluid level, have the cause of brake fluid loss remedied . We recommend that you consult a Va uxha ll Authorised Repairer.
Brake fluid changeBrake fluid is hygroscopic, i.e. it absorbs water. If high temp eratures occur when braking, e.g. on long d ow nhill stretches, steam bubbles c an oc cur in the water that are extrem ely detrimental to braking power.
The fluid change intervals specified in the Serv ic e Booklet must therefore be ob served.
After correcting the brake fluid level, have the cause of brake fluid loss remedied . We recommend that you consult a Va uxha ll Authorised Repairer.
Windscreen wiperClear v ision is essential for safe driving.
You should therefore perform regular checks on the windscreen wiper a nd hea dlight wiper system 3 to m ake sure they are operating correc tly .
If the windsc reen is dirty, operate the screenwash b efore switching on the windscreen wiper or setting the wiper to automatic op eration with the rain sensor 3. This will avoid wip er blad e wear.
Do not switch on the windscreen wiper or set to a utoma tic operation with the rain sensor 3 if the windscreen is iced up , a s this could da mage the wiper blades or the wiper system.
If the wiper bec om es frozen on to the glass, we recomm end that it be released with the aid of Vauxhall De-icer Spray.
Caution – brake fluid is poisonous and corrosive. Do not allow it to contact eyes, skin, fab ric s or p ainted surfaces. Direct contact ma y cause injuries and damage.
We recommend that you have brake fluid changed by a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who will be familiar with the req uirements of the law as regards disposal of brake fluid a nd can thus help to protec t the env ironment and your hea lth.

BatteryThe b attery is m aintenanc e-free.
Retro-fitted electric al or electronic accessories can pla ce an additional loa d on the b attery or even discharge the battery. We recomm end tha t you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer regarding tec hnical p ossibilities, such a s fitting a more powerful battery.
Pa rk ing the vehicle for more than 4 weeks can lead to battery discha rg ing. This m ay reduce the service life of the battery. Disconnect b attery from on-board power supply by d isconnecting the negative terminal. (Anti-theft alarm system is then disab led).
Ensure that ignition is switched off before connecting battery . Then perform the following actions:
z Remove Radio block 3 – see rad io operating instructions.
z Set date and tim e in informa tion display – see p age 46.
z Activate window electronics 3 – see p age 149.
In order to prevent the battery from discharging, some consumers such as the courtesy light autom atically switch off after approx . 30 minutes.
Protecting electronic components In order to prevent faults in elec tronic components in the electrical system, never connect or d isconnect b attery w ith engine running or ignition switched on. Never start eng ine with battery disconnected, e.g. when starting using jum p lead s.
The battery m ust b e disconnected from the vehicle b efore b eing charged: first disconnect the neg ative cable and then the positive cable. The polarity of the battery , i.e. the connections for the positive and neg ative cables, m ust not be interchanged. When reconnecting , first connect the positive cab le and then the neg ative cable.
To avoid damaging the vehic le, d o not ma ke a ny modifications to the electrical system, e. g. c onnec ting additional consum ers or tampering with electronic control units (chip tuning).
We recom mend hav ing the battery cha nge carried out by a Va uxhall Authorised Repairer, who will be fam iliar with the req uirements of the law as regards disposal of old batteries a nd can thus help to protect the env ironment and your health.
Electronic ignition systems use a very hig h voltage. Do not touch the ignition system; da ng er to life.

Washing The paintwork of your vehicle is exposed to env ironmenta l influences, e.g. continuous changes in weather conditions, ind ustrial waste gases and dust or tha wing sa lts, so wash and wax your vehicle regularly. When using a utoma tic car washes, select a programme which includes wax ing.
Bird droppings, dead insects, resin, pollen a nd the like should be cleaned off immediately , as they contain aggressive constituents which can cause paint dam age.
When using c ar washes, follow the relevant instructions of the car wash facility. The windscreen wiper or a utomatic wiper system w ith rain sensor 3 and the rea r window wiper 3 m ust be switched off – see page 17. Remove the aerial 3 and the roof rack 3 .
If you w ash your vehicle by hand, make sure that the insides of the wing s a re also thoroughly rinsed out.
Clea n edges and folds on op ened doors and flaps as well a s the area s they cover.
Thoroughly rinse off and leather-off the vehicle. Rinse leather frequently . Use separate leathers for paint and w indow surfaces: Remnants of wax on the windows will impair vision.
WaxingWax your vehicle regularly, in pa rticular after it has been washed using shampoo and at the latest when wa ter no longer forms beads on the pa intwork, otherwise the paintwork will d ry out.
Also wax edg es a nd folds on op ened doors and flaps as well a s the area s they cover.
PolishingPolishing is necessary only if the pa int has become dull or if solid deposits have become attached to it.
Paintwork polish with silicone forms a protec tive film, making w axing unnecessary.
Plastic body parts should not be treated with wax and polish.
Use Metallic Paintwork Wax on vehicles with a metallic-effect paint finish.
WheelsUse a pH-neutral w heel c leaning agent to clean the wheels.
Wheels a re painted and ca n be treated with the same ag ents as the body. For alloy wheels we recomm end use of Alloy Wheel Preserver.
258
Paintwork damageRepair small area s of p aint damage suc h as stone impacts, scratches etc. immediately using a Va uxha ll touch-up applicator or Vauxhall sp ra y and touch-up paint before rust can form . If rust has alrea dy formed, ha ve the c ause remedied. We recommend that you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. Please also pay attention to surfaces and edg es beneath the vehicle where rust ma y have formed unnoticed for some time.
Exterior lightsHeadlight and other protective light covers are made of plastic. If they require additional cleaning after the vehicle has been washed, clea n them with Car Shamp oo. Do not use any ab ra sive or caustic agents, do not use an ice scraper, and do not clean them dry.
Plastic and rubber partsFor add itional cleaning of plastic and rubb er parts use C leaner. Do not use any other agent, and in particular do not use solvents or petrol.
Wheels and tyresDo not use high-pressure jet clea ners on wheels and tyres.
Interior and upholsteryClea n the vehicle interior, including the instrument panel facia, using interior cleaner.
Clea n fa bric upholstery with a va cuum cleaner and brush. For removal of stains use Cleaner, which is suitab le for both fa brics a nd vinyl.
Do not use cleaning agents such as acetone, carbon tetrachloride, paint thinner, paint remover, nail varnish remover, washing powder or blea ch to clean fabrics, ca rp ets, the dashboard or leather trim 3 in the vehicle interior. Benzine is also unsuitable.
Seat beltsAlways keep seat b elts clean a nd dry.
C lean only with lukewarm w ater or Cleaner.
WindowsWhen cleaning the hea ted rear window, ma ke sure that the heating element on the insid e of the window is not damaged.
Use a soft lint-free cloth or chamois leather in conjunction with Window Cleaner a nd Insect R emover.
Vauxhall Wind screen Wash Solvent is suita ble for de-icing windows.
For mec ha nical removal of ice, use a comm ercially available sharp-edged ice scraper. Press the scraper firmly against the glass so that no dirt can get under it and scratch the glass.
259
Windscreen wiper bladesSm earing w ip er b la des ca n be clea ned w ith a soft cloth and Vauxhall Windscreen Wash Solvent, and replaced if necessa ry – see page 250.
Locks Before they lea ve the factory, the locks are lubricated with a high-grade lock cylinder grease. Vauxhall lock c ylind er grease prevents the locks from freezing up. Use de-icing agents only in emergencies, as they have a degreasing effect and will impair the functioning of the locks. After using d e-icing agents re-grea se the locks.
Engine compartmentImp ortant areas of the eng ine compartment have been provided with permanent protection at the factory in the form of a high-quality, smooth protec tive lacquer coating . Parts of the engine compartment lacquered in the sam e colour as the vehicle paintwork ca n be trea ted the same way as all painted surfaces. Wash the engine only if a bsolutely necessary. Before washing the engine, protec t the alternator and brake fluid reservoir with plastic covers.
When washing the engine with a steam-jet cleaner, do not d irect the steam jet at components of the a ntilock brake system, the a utoma tic air conditioning system or the b elt drive and its components.
Protective wax that has been ap plied is also removed during the engine wash. For this reason, have the engine, brake system components in the engine compartment, axle com ponents with steering, body parts and cavities thoroughly preserved with protective wax after the wash. We recommend that you consult a Va uxha ll Authorised Repairer.
Do not use high-pressure jet clea ners on wheels and tyres.
Underbody Your vehicle has a factory-app lied PVC undercoating in the wheel arches (including the longitudinal mem bers) which prov ides permanent protec tion and needs no special maintenance. The surfaces of the vehicle underbody not covered by PVC are provided with a durable p rotective wax coating.
On vehicles which are washed frequently in autom atic car washes with underbody washing facility, the protective wax coating may b e impaired by d irt-dissolv ing additives, so check the underbody after washing and ha ve it waxed if necessary . Before the start of the cold weather season, check the PVC c oa ting a nd protective wax coating and, if necessary , have them restored to perfect condition.
Caution - comm ercially ava ilab le bitum en / rubber materials can damage the PVC coating. We recom mend that you ha ve underbody work carried out by a Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer. The Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer knows the prescribed ma terials and has experience in the use thereof.
The underbody should be washed following the end of the cold weather season to remove any dirt adhering to the underbody since this may also contain salt. Check p rotective wax c oa ting and , if nec essary , have it restored to perfec t condition.

Coolant, brake fluid, oils When top ping up – Coolant,– Brake fluid, – Manual transmission oilwe recomm end that you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who can advise you on the correct p roducts to use.
Caution: Use of unsuita ble fluids can ca use serious dam age to the vehic le.
Engine oilsWe recomm end using Vauxhall eng ine oils with the follow ing qualities and viscosities:ACEA A3/B3 SAE 0W-30– or –ACEA A3/B3 SAE 5W-40– or –ACEA A3/B3 SAE 10W-40
The range of application of the oil is dependent on the outside temperature – see the diagram on the next page.
When using commercially available engine oils, as a matter of principle only those oils that meet the minimum q uality requirements specified in the following table are perm issible.
Only the following viscosity classes are permissible:SAE 10 W-30 (or hig her than 30) orSAE 5 W-30 (or higher than 30) orSAE 0 W-30 (or higher than 30).
The ra ng e of app lic ation of the oil is dependent on the outside temperature – see the d iagram on the next p age.
Eng ine oils whic h are specifica lly designated for use in d iesel engines a re not suita ble for petrol engines.
If the oils mentioned here are not availab le in your country, follow the special instructions in your Serv ic e Booklet.

Inform ation on ACEA oil grade cla ssific ation The Association d es Constructeurs Européens d'Autom ob iles classifies engine oils according to their perform anc e (quality).
Ea ch categ ory is given letters and numbers, e.g. A3:
The letter indicates the field of application:
A = Petrol eng ines in passenger carsB = Diesel engines in passenger carsE = Diesel engines in trucks
The number shows the quality in numerically ascending order.
Informat ion on SAE classificat ionsEngine a nd transmission oils are grouped in SAE classes b y the Soc iety of Automotive Engineers b ased on their v iscosity. Viscosity is the measure of interna l friction of the oil in flux , dependent on its temperature.
The SAE classification does not provide information on the quality of the oil; it merely indicates the range of application of the oil dependent on the outside temperature – see diagram.
The first number indicates v iscosity at low temperatures (cold sta rt behaviour). The second num ber indicates visc osity a t hig h temperatures.
Do not sw itch to a different viscosity in the event of brief temp erature fluctuations.
A = SAE classes for p etrol engines B = SAE classes for d iesel engines

Fuel consumption,CO2 emissions Directive 80/1268/EEC (last c hanged by 1999/100/EC) has ap plied for the measurement of fuel consumption since 1996.
The direc tive is oriented to actual driving practices: Urban driving is rated at approx. 1/3 and extra-urban driving with approx. 2/3 (urban and extra-urban consumption). Cold starts and acceleration phases are also taken into consideration.
The specification of CO2 emission is also a constituent of the directive.
The figures given m ust not be taken as a guarantee for the actual fuel consumption of a p artic ular vehicle.
The calculation of fuel consumption as spec ified by directive 1999/100/EC takes acc ount of the vehicle's kerbweig ht, ascertained in accordance with the said regula tion. Optional extras may result in slightly higher fuel consumption and CO2 emission levels than those quoted.
To convert l/100km into mp g, divide 282 by number of litres/100km.
Save fuel, protec t the env ironment – see page 184.

Weights, payload and roof load The p ayload is the difference between the permitted g ross vehicle weight (see identification plate, page 260) and the EC kerbweight.
To ca lc ulate the kerbweight, enter the data for your vehicle below:
z Kerb weight fromTa ble 1,page 268 + ... ..... .... .. kg
z Ad ditional w eight ofequipment version fromTa ble 2, p age 269 + ... ..... .... .. kg
z Weight of heavyaccessories from Table 3,page 269 + ... ..... .... .. kg
The total = ... ..... .... .. kg
is the EC kerbweight.
Optional equipment and accessories increase the kerbweight, w hich means that the p ayload will also change slig htly.
Note the weights given in the vehicle documents.
The combined total of front a nd rear ax le loa ds must not exceed the perm issible gross vehicle weight. For exa mple, if the front ax le is bearing its m aximum permissib le load, the rear axle can only bear a load that is eq ua l to the gross vehicle weig ht m inus the front axle load.
When the caravan / trailer is coup led a nd the towing vehic le fully loaded (including all occupants), the perm issible rear ax le loa d (see identification plate or vehicle docum ents) may be exceeded by 75 kg and the gross vehicle weig ht ra ting by 45 kg. If the permissib le rear axle load is exc eeded, a maximum speed of 60 mph (100 km/h) a pplies. If national regula tions specify a low er ma ximum speed for vehicles towing a caravan / trailer, this must b e observed.
For permitted axle loa ds see identification plate a nd vehicle documents
Roof loa dThe permissible roof loa d is 75 kg. The roof load consists of the weight of the roof rac k plus the load carried.
Do not drive faster than 75 mph (120 km /h). Check fastening at frequent interva ls and tig hten.
For safety reasons and to avoid damage to the roof, we recommend that the use of Vauxhall-approved roof rack systems for the Zafira. A Vauxhall Authorised Repairer would be pleased to ad vise you.
