Vauxhall Full Size airbag system The Vauxhall Full S ize a irb ag system comprises severa l ind ividual systems.

Front a irbag system The front airb ag system is triggered in the event of a serious accident involving a frontal impa ct and forms sa fety cushions for the driver and front passenger. The forward movement of the driver a nd front passenger is checked a nd the risk of injuries to the up per body and head thereby substantially reduced.

Side airba g system 3 The side airbag system triggers when a side-on collision occurs and provides a safety barrier for the driver a nd/or passenger in the respective front door area. This reduces the risk of injury to the upper body considera bly in case of a side impa ct.

Cur tain ai rbag system 3 The curtain a irba g system triggers in case of a side-on collision and provid es a safety barrier in the hea d area on the respective side of the vehic le. This reduces the risk of injury to the hea d considerab ly in case of a side-on collision.


28

Active head restraints 3 In the event of a rear-end impa ct, the active head restraints automatically tilt forward a little. The head is more effectively supported by the head restraint and the danger of injuries caused by whiplash in the a rea of the neck is reduced.

Active head restraints can be identified by the lettering ACTIVE on the head restraint guide bushes.

Parking distance sensor 3 The parking dista nce sensor automatically switches itself on when reversing.

If the vehicle a pproaches an obstacle w hen reversing, a series of signals c an be heard in the vehicle interior. The interval betw een the signa ls b ecomes shorter as the distance is reduced. If the distanc e is less than 30 cm, the signal will be continuous.

Notes on loading the vehicle

z Heavy objec ts in the lug gage/load com partment should be placed as far forward as p ossible against the rear seat backrests or, if the rear seat backrests are folded down, ag ainst the front seat backrests. If objects are to be stacked, the heav ier objects should be placed at the bottom. Unsecured objects in the lugga ge/load compartm ent would be thrown forward with great force, for instance in the event of heavy brak ing.

z Secure heavy objec ts with lashing straps 3 a ttac hed to lashing eyes 3 – see page 72. If heavy loads slip when the vehicle is braked heavily or driven around a bend, the handling of the vehicle may chang e.

z Com bo: If objects are transported in the load c om partment, the split load compa rtm ent grille 3 must always be locked in one of the retainers and the lever m ust be enga ged at its bottom position – see page 72.

z Com bo: C lose the luggage compartment cover so there is no reflection in the rear window.

z If objects are being transp orted in the luggage/load compartment, the rear seat backrests must be locked in position – see p ages 67, 69.

z Do not a llow the load to protrude ab ove the upp er edge of the rear seat back rests, or above the upper ed ge of the front seat b ackrests if the rear seat back rests a re folded down.

z The warning triangle 3 and first-aid kit (cushion) 3 m ust always be freely accessible.

z Do not place any objects in front of the rea r window or on the instrument pa nel. They are reflected in the glass, obstruct the driver’s view and will be thrown through the vehicle, for insta nce in the event of heavy b ra king.

z Com bo: when stowing objects in the stow age compartment above the front seats, sec ure against falling out.

z No objects must be placed in the area in which the airbags inflate, as they could cause injury when the airbags are trig gered.

z The load must not obstruct the operation of the hand brake and the gears or restric t the driver’s freed om of movement.

z Do not drive with lugga ge compa rtm ent open when tra nsporting bulky objects, for exam ple, since toxic exhaust fumes could penetra te the interior.

z Weights, payload and roof loa d – see page 234.

z Driv ing with a roof load (see pages 138, 141, 160) increases the sensitivity of the vehicle to crosswinds and has a detrimenta l effec t on vehicle handling owing to the vehicle’s higher centre of gravity.

Disregarding instructions ca n lead to injuries which could be fatal. Vehicle passeng ers should be inform ed accordingly.

Safety systems Three-stage restraint system Comprising:

z Three-point seat belts,

z Belt tensioners at the front seats,

z Airbag system s for driver’s seat, passenger seat 3 and outboard rear seats 3.

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 rea d the a ccompanying desc ription of the child restraint system !

The airbag systems 3 serve to supplement the three-p oint sea t belts and belt tensioners. The seat belts must therefore always be worn. Disregard of these instructions may lead to injuries or endanger life. Vehicle p assengers should be informed accordingly.

79

Seat belts In the event of an accident, persons not wearing sea t belts enda ng er their fellow oc cup ants and themselves.

Warning light X for the seat belt – see page 29.

Sea t belts are desig ned to be used by only one person at a time. They are not suitable for c hildren under 12 yea rs of ag e or 150 cm unless an appropriate child restra int system is used .

For children up to 12 years of age we recommend the Vauxhall child restraint system – see pa ge 95.

Three-point seat belts The 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. Correct seat position – see page 85.

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 82.

80

Belt tens ioners The front seat belts are equip ped w ith belt tensioners. In the event of a head -on or rea r-end collision of a certain severity, the buckles are pulled downwards, thereby tightening the belts.

Actuation of belt tensioners is indicated by illum ina tion of control indica tor v, see next p age.

The belt tensioners must be replaced after activation. We recommend that you consult your Va uxha ll Authorised Repairer.

If the seat belts are undama ged the operation thereof is unaffec ted, even if the belt tensioners have b een trigg ered .

Further information – see page 83.

81

Control indica tor v for belt tensioners The b elt tensioners are monitored electronic ally and their op erational rea diness is indicated on the instrument panel by c ontrol indicator v . When the ignition is switched on the control indicator lights up for approx. 4 sec onds. I f it does not light up, does not go off after 4 seconds, or lights up while driving, there is fault in the belt tensioner system or the airbag systems – see page 89. The belt tensioners or airbag systems ma y not be triggered in the event of an accident.

The system’s integ ra ted self-diagnostics allow s faults to be quickly remedied. Have your Car Pass on ha nd when consulting a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Imp or tant

z Do not fit accessories not sp ecifically released for your vehicle type or store objec ts in the belt tensioner operating area (in the area of the belt tensioners) due to the risk of injury in the event the belt tensioners a re triggered.

z Do not make any modifications to the components of the belt tensioners, as this will render the vehicle unroadw orthy.

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 your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

z Applicable safety directives must always be ob served when disposing of the vehicle. For this reason, d isposal should be performed by an authorised recycling company. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Have the cause of the fault remedied . We recom mend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Rep airer.

Imp roper handling (e.g. removal or installation) could cause the belt tensioners to be triggered. Risk of injury!

82

Using the belts Fitting seat bel ts Pull 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 as this would affect the opera tion of the seat belts; recommended tilting a ng le app rox . 25°. The lap belt must be straight and lie snugly against the body. Tighten lap belt at frequent intervals whilst driving by tugging diagonal pa rt of belt.

Bulky clothing prevents the belt from fitting prop erly. The belt must not rest against ha rd or fragile objects in the pockets of your clothing (e.g. ballpoint pens, keys, spectacles) because these could cause injury. Do not place any objec ts (e.g. ha ndb ags, mobile phones) b etween the belt and your body.

Height adjustm ent of front seat belt upper a nchorage points:

1. Pull b elt out slig htly.

2. Press b elt guide or, in 5-door saloon, push button down.

3. Set desired height.

4. Allow to loc k audibly into p osition.

Do not adjust height while driving .

Adjust height setting such that seat belt runs over and lies against the shoulder. The belt must not run over the neck or upper arm – see page 79, Fig . 13190 S.

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.

83

Removing the belt To rem ove the belt, depress the red pushbutton on the buck le; the belt will retract autom atic ally.

Three-point seat b el t on centre rear sea t The belt can only be pulled out of the retractor 3 if the rear seat backrests are engaged in their retainers – see page 67.

Testing the belts Plea 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 recom mend consulting your 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.

84

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 3.

The front airbag system comprises:

z an airbag with inflator in the steering wheel and a second one in the instrum ent panel 3,

z the control elec tronics with impact sensor,

z the a irba g system s control indicator v in the instrument panel.

z seat occ upa ncy rec og nition 3,

z the control indicator for Va uxha ll child restraint systems y with transponders 3 in the courtesy light.

The front airb ag system will be 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,

z indep endently of the side airb ag 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 89. Vauxhall child restraint system with transponders 3 – see pag e 96.

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.

85

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 that it is often not even noticed in an accident.

The front airbag system will not be triggered in the event of z the ignition is switched off, z minor frontal collisions,z accidents in which the vehicle overturns, z collisions involving a side or rear impa ct, that is to say, if it w ould not be of benefit to the oc cup ants.

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 so that when the driver is sitting up rig ht, the steering wheel is held in the a rea of its upper sp okes with the d river’s arms slightly bent. The pa ssenger seat should be as far back as possible, with the back rest upright (see pa ges 5, 64, 82). 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 92.

The three-point seat belt must be correctly fitted – see page 82.

86

In addition, the front airb ag system will not be triggered for the front passenger in versions with seat occupancy recognition 3 if

z the front passenger’s seat is unoccupied,

z there is a prop erly fitted Va uxha ll child restraint system with transponders 3 . Seat oc cup ancy recognition, see page 89. Vauxhall child restraint system with transponders 3 – see page 96.

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 An airbag with inflator in the bac k of the driver’s and front passenger’s seat respectively ,

z The control electronics,

z The side impact sensors,

z The airb ag systems control ind icator v in the instrum ent panel,

z Seat occupancy recognition 3,

z The control indicator for Va uxha ll child restraint systems y with transponders 3 in the courtesy light.

The side airbag system will be 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 on the centre d oor pillar of the driver’s or front passenger side,

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 89. Vauxhall child restraint system w ith transponders 3– see page 96.

Seat belts must therefore always be worn. The front airbag system serves to supplement the three-point seat belts. If you do not wea r your seat belt you risk being seriously injured, or even thrown from the vehic le, in the event of an accident.

In the event of an accident the belt helps to keep you in the correct seating position, so that the front airb ag system can provide you with effective protection.

87

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 is sw itc hed off,

z fronta l collisions,

z accidents in which the vehicle overturns,

z collisions involving a rear impac t,

z collisions involving a side imp act outside the passenger cell.

In addition, the side airbag system w ill not be triggered for the front passenger in versions with seat occupa ncy recognition 3 if z the front p assenger’s seat is unoccupied

z there is a properly fitted Vauxhall child restraint system with transpond ers 3. Seat occupancy recognition, see page 89. Va uxha ll c hild restraint system with transp onders 3 – see p age 96.

Cur tain ai rbag 3 The curtain a irba g system is identified by the word AIRBAG on the roof pillar trim.

The curtain a irba g system com prises:

z an airbag w ith inflator in the roof frame on the d river’s and front passenger’s side respectively,

z the control electronics,

z the side im pact sensors,

z the airb ag system s control indicator v in the instrument panel.

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 92.

The three-p oint seat b elt m ust always b e correctly fitted – see page 82.

88

The curtain airbag system will be triggered:

z Depend ing on the severity of the accident,

z Depend ing on the type of impac t,

z Within the range show n in the illustration on the centre door pillar of the driver’s or front passenger side,

z Together with the side airbag system,

z Irrespective of seat occupa ncy recognition,

z Ind ependently of the front airbag system .

When triggered, the curtain airbag inflates in millisecond s to form a sa fety cushion in the head area on the side of the vehicle affected . This substantially reduces the risk of injury to the head in the event of a side-on c ollision.

The curtain airbags will not b e triggered in the event of

z the ignition is switched off,

z frontal collisions,

z accidents in which the vehicle overturns,

z collisions involving a rear impact,

z collisions involving a side impact outside the passenger cell.

There m ust be no objec ts in the area in which the airbag inflates. Do not place the hands or arms on the covers of the airbag systems. Important information – see page 92.

The three-point seat belt must always be correctly fitted – see pag e 82.

89

Control indica tor v for airb ag systemsThe a irb ag systems are monitored electronic ally together with seat occupancy recognition 3 and the belt tensioners. Their opera tional readiness is shown b y control ind icator v in the instrument panel. When the ignition is switched on, the control indic ator lights up for approx. 4 seconds. If it does not light up, d oes not go out after 4 seconds or lights up while driving, there is a fault in the airbag systems, seat occupancy recognition 3 or the belt tensioners – see page 81. The system s m ay fail to trigg er in the event of an accident.

The system’s integ ra ted self-diagnostics allow s faults to be quickly remedied. Have your Car Pass on ha nd when consulting a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Seat occup ancy r ecog ni tion 3 The seat occupa ncy recognition system deactivates the front and side passeng er airbags if the front passenger seat is unoccupied or a Vauxhall child restraint system with transponders 3 has been fitted to the front passenger seat. The curtain airbag system remains activated.

The control indica tor for sea t occupancy recognition is located in the courtesy light. If this control indicator lights up after the ignition is switc hed on for approx. 4 seconds, the vehic le is equip ped with seat occupancy recognition – see Fig. 12097 S on page 90.

If a Vauxhall child restraint system w ith tra nsponders 3 is installed, this control indica tor remains on after the ignition has been sw itched on as soon as the system ha s d etec ted the seat. Only then c an the child restraint system be used on the passenger seat.

In ad dition, vehicles with seat occupancy recognition can be id entified by the sticker on the front passenger seat.

Vauxhall child restraint systems with transponders 3 are autom atically detected if correctly fitted to the front passenger seat. When these child restraint systems are being used on the front passenger seat, the front and side airbag systems for the front passenger seat are deactivated. The curta in a irb ag system remains a ctivated. Pay a ttention to the seat oc cup anc y recog nition 3 control indicator – see p age 90.

Vauxhall child restraint systems with transponders 3 can be identified by the stic ker on the child restraint system.

Child restraint systems 3 The Vauxhall child restraint system is designed sp ecifically for your Vauxhall and thus provides optimum safety for your child in the event of impa ct. If a different child safety seat is used, follow the manufac turers’ instructions for fitting a nd use.

Selec ting the rig ht system Your child should be transported facing backwards in the car as long as p ossible. It is ap propria te to change the system when the child’s head c an no longer be p roperly supported at eye height. The child’s neck is still very weak and in an accident they suffer less stress in the semi-prone backwards position than w hen sitting up right.

Note z Children und er 12 years or under 150 cm

tall should only travel in an ap prop ria te child sa fety sea t.

z When transporting c hildren, use the child restra int system s suitable for the child’s weight.

z Ensure that the c hild restraint system is fitted correctly .

z The covers of the Vauxhall child restraint system can b e wiped clean.

z Do not stick anything on the child restra int systems and do not cover them with any other m aterials.

z Only allow child ren to enter and exit at the side fa cing away from the traffic.

z A child restraint system which has been subjected to stress in an accident must be replaced.

z You should also ob serve the instructions on installa tion and use supplied with the child restraint system.

Easytronic

The semi-autom atic Ea sytronic transm ission permits manual (manual mode) or automatic gear shifting (automatic mode), both with fully automatic clutch control.

Transmission display The current gear or mode is indicated in the transm ission display .

Selector level positions Selec tor lever in N Neutral.

The engine can only be started with the lever in position N a nd with the foot brake depressed . The transmission display shows "N" . If the foot brake is not depressed, "N" flashes.

Selector lever in centre positionWhen the selec tor lever is moved from N to the mid position w ith the foot brake depressed, Easytronic is in Automatic mode and first gear is engaged. The transmission displa y show s "A" . When the foot brake is released, the vehicle begins to "c reep ". If the foot brake is not depressed, "A" flashes. Press the accelerator pedal directly to drive away or return the selector lever to N and repeat the process with the foot brake depressed.

In Automatic m od e the transmission shifts to other gears autom atically dependent on driving c onditions.

Disreg ard of these instructions may lead to injuries or end ang er life.

127

In Manual m od e the gea rs can be shifted manually. The transm ission displa y shows the c urrently engaged gear.

If the eng ine speed is too low the Easytronic will a utoma tica lly shift to a lower gea r even in Manual mode. This prevents the engine from stalling.

Selector lever in + or - + Shift to a higher gear.

- Shift to a lower gear.

If a higher gear is selected when the running speed is too low, or a lower g ear when the speed is too hig h, no shift is effected. This prevents the engine from running at too low or too high revs.

Gears ca n be skipp ed b y jogging the selector lever repea tedly at short intervals.

When the vehicle is in Automatic m ode, Ea sytronic shifts to Manua l mode when the selector lever is set to position + or -. The transm ission display shows the currently selected g ear.

Selec tor lever in A/MSwitch between Automa tic and Manual mode.

Selec tor lever in RReverse gear. Engage only when the vehicle is stationary. Press the button on the selector lever and select R. The tra nsmission display will show "R".

If R is selected when the vehic le is in motion, "R" flashes in the transm ission display and no g ear is eng aged.

Winter programm e T In the event of diffic ulties starting off on slip pery road s, p ress button T ("A" and T are shown in the tra nsmission display). Ea sytronic switches to Automatic mode and the vehicle sets off in second gea r.

The w inter program is switched off by : z pressing button T a gain, z switching to Manual mode z turning off the ignition.

In order to protect the Easytronic the winter programme automatically sw itches itself off at extremely high clutch temperatures.

Kickdown Ac celera tor pedal pressed past the pressure point: Below certain speeds, the tra nsmission shifts down into a lower gear. Full engine power is a vailable for acceleration.

During kickdown no manual gear shifting is possible.

When the engine speed approaches its up per limit, the transm ission shifts to a higher gea r during kickdown even in Manua l mode.

Without kickdown this automatic shift is not effected in Manual mode.

Engine braking assistance frommotor Autom atic mode:When driving d ow nhill, Ea sytronic does not shift into the higher gea rs until a relatively high engine speed has been reac hed. When brak ing, Easytronic shifts down into a lower gear in good time.

Ma nua l mode:To utilize the engine braking effect, select a lower gear in good time when driving downhill.

129

Stopping the vehicle When the selector lever is in the mid position and the vehicle at a standstill, first gear (second gear with active sta rting-off aid) is automatically engaged and the clutch opened.

If a warning signal sound s w hen the driver’s door is opened (foot brake not depressed), m ove the selector lever to N and ap ply the ha nd brake.

When stopping on gradients engage hand brake or depress brake ped al. To prevent overheating of the automatic clutch, do not increase engine speed to ensure smooth id ling while standing if a gear is enga ged.

Switch off eng ine if stop ping for a lengthy period, e.g. in traffic jams or at level crossings.

Vehicle storageBefore leaving the vehicle: z eng age hand brake,z rem ove ignition key.

The last gea r engaged is retained. When the selector lever is in position N no gea r is engaged.

When the ignition is switched off the Easytronic no longer responds to movem ent of the selector lever.

If the ignition key is not removed, the battery m ay be discharged if the vehicle is then left to stand for a lengthy period of tim e.

If the hand b ra ke has not been applied , the control indicator R flashes for a few second s a fter the ignition is switched off.

Rocking the car If it becomes necessary to rock the vehicle to free it from sand, m ud , snow or a hole, move the selector lever between the mid position a nd R in a repea t pattern while simultaneously applying light p ressure to the accelerator ped al. Do not race the eng ine and avoid sudd en acceleration.

This applies only to the exceptional circumstances mentioned above.

130

Manoeuvring the vehicle To manoeuvre the vehicle back and forth during attem pts to park or in garage entrances the creeping movement can be utilized by releasing the foot brake.

Never actuate a ccelerator and brake pedals simultaneously.

In order to protect Easytronic, it automatically disengages the "creep func tion" a t extremely high clutch tem peratures.

Fault If a fault occurs in Easytronic , control indica tor A lights up . In the event of serious faults, an "F" also appears in the tra nsmission display.

It is possible to continue driving if only warning lig ht A lights up . Manual mode can then no longer be selected.

If an "F" is also shown in the transmission display , it is not possible to continue driving.

Have the ca use of the fault rem edied. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. The system’s integrated self-diag nostics a llows faults to be q uick ly remedied.

z Adaptive programm es automatically adap t gea r shifting to suit the driving conditions, such as if the vehicle is towing a c aravan/trailer, has a high pay loa d, or is being driven on inclines.

Winter program me T In the event of difficulties starting off on slippery roads, press button T, which can be opera ted in P, R, N , D and 3 (T illuminates in the transmission display). The vehicle starts off in third gea r.

The winter program is switched off b y: z pressing b utton T again, z shifting to 2 or 1 m anua lly ,z turning off the ignition.

The winter programme automatically switched off a t speeds in excess of app rox . 50 mph (80 km/h).

The winter programme automatically switches off at extremely high transmission oil temperatures in order to prevent dam age.

Kickdown Accelerator pedal pressed past the pressure point: below certa in speeds, the transm ission shifts down into a lower gear. Full engine power is availab le for acceleration.

Engine braking assistance frommotor In order to utiliz e the eng ine braking effect when driving downhill, select d rive range 3, 2 or, if necessary, 1 in good time.

The braking action is most effective in drive range 1. If drive range 1 is selected at too high a speed, the transm ission remains in second gear until the shift p oint for first gear is reached, e.g. as a result of deceleration.

Rocking the car If it becomes necessary to rock the vehicle to free it from sand, mud, snow or a hole, move the selector lever from D to R in a repeat pattern w hile sim ultaneously applying light pressure to the accelerator pedal. Do not race the engine and avoid sudden acceleration.

This applies only to the exceptional circum stances mentioned a bove.

Manoeuvring the vehicle To ma noeuvre the vehicle back and forth during attempts to park or in ga ra ge entrances, the vehicle’s creeping movement can be utilised by releasing the brake pedal.

Never actuate accelerator and brake pedals sim ultaneously.

136

Stopping the vehicle The selector lever can be left in the chosen gear with the engine running.

When stopping on gradients engage hand brake or depress brake ped al. To prevent overheating of the transmission, do not increase engine revolutions to ensure smooth id ling while standing if a gear has been selected.

Switch off eng ine if stop ping for a lengthy period, e.g. in traffic jams or at level crossings.

Before leav ing the vehicle, apply hand brake, then place selector lever in position P and remove ignition key.

If the ignition key is not rem oved, the battery may be d ischarged if the vehicle is then left to stand for a lengthy period of time.

The ignition key ca n only be removed when the selector lever is in position P.

Fault Control indica tor A lights when the ignition is switched on. If it does not go out after start or lights while driving, there is a fa ult in the automatic transm ission or engine electronics.

The tra nsmission no longer shifts automatically. Vehicle can continue to be driven. Second gear is not available. Forward gears 1, 3 and 4 must be shifted ma nually using selector lever:

1 = 1st g ear 2 = 3rd gear 3, D = 4th gear

Have c ause of fault remedied. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer.

137

Interruption of power supply If the vehicle battery is flat, the selector lever ca nnot be moved out of position P.

If the battery is flat, start the vehicle using jump leads – see pag e 170.

If the battery is not the cause of the fault, release selector lever:

1. Ap ply hand brake.

2. Disenga ge the cover from the centre console a nd rota te it clockw ise 90°.

3. Push ca tc h forward with a screwdriver and m ove selector lever out of P.

4. Mount cover back on c entre console and refit.

Re-selecting P locks the selector lever aga in. Have cause of power sup ply interruption remedied . We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Climate control

Dep ending on how the vehicle is equipped , the c lim ate w ill be controlled by a heating and ventilation system with optiona l air conditioning system 3 or by a clima te control system 3.

Heating and ventilation system with optional air conditioning system 3 Ventilation, heating and cooling 3 a re combined into one unit that is d esigned to prov ide com fort regardless of the season, weather or outside temperature.

When cooling 3 is activated, the air is cooled and dried.

The heating unit heats the air a s required in all operating m od es depending on the position of the temperature switch. The air supply can be adjusted to suit requirements by means of the fan.

Button n for cooling and 4 for recirculation are only found on vehic les equipped with the optional air conditioning system 3. See pa ge 114.

Electronic air conditioning system 3 The electronic air conditioning system provides maxim um comfort under any weather conditions, at any outside temperature and at a ll tim es of the year.

To ensure a constant and com fortable climate in the vehicle, the temperature of the inflowing air, the air-flow rate and the air distribution are changed a utomatically acc ording to clim atic conditions outside the vehicle.

Autom atic climate control system 3 The electronic air conditioning system provides maximum comfort under any weather conditions, a t any outsid e tem perature and at all tim es of the year.

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 cooling unit (AC compressor) is on, the air is cooled and dehum id ified.

When no c ooling or dry ing is required press the ECO button to save fuel – see page 122.

When set to automa tic mode, the automatic climate control system p rov ides the op tim al settings for a lmost all conditions. If necessary, a utomatic clima te control system settings can be modified ma nually.

The autom atic climate control system is only operational when the engine is running.

At low outsid e temperatures the cooling unit (AC comp ressor) switches off automatically.

Autom atic m ode Basic setting for max imum comfort:

z Press AUTO button.

z Open all air vents.

z Switch on AC com pressor – see page 122.

z Preset tem perature to 22 °C with turn knob .

If nec essary , the pre-selected tem perature can be set higher or low er.

Deactivating the AC c om pressor (ECO appea rs in the air conditioning display) may restric t the level of c om fort and safety. See pag e 122.

All air vents are regulated automatically in autom atic mode. The a ir vents should therefore always be open. See pag e 115.

Pre-selected tem peratures The preselected tem perature ca n b e set to va lues between 16 °C and 28 °C using the left-hand rotary knob.

For the sake of comfort, only change the pre selec ted temperature in small steps.

If a temp erature b elow 16 °C is set, LO app ears in the air cond itioning display : the automatic c lim ate control system runs consta ntly with maxim um cooling. The temperature is not regulated.

If a temp erature a bove 28 °C is set, HI app ears in the air cond itioning display : the automatic c lim ate control system runs consta ntly with maxim um heating. The temperature is not regulated.

The preset temperature is retained when the ignition is switched off.

121

Manual sett ings Under certain circumstances (e.g. iced or misted wind ow s), the functions of the automatic clima te control system can be modified manually.

Manual settings are stored when the ignition is switched off.

Make ma nual settings as follow s w hen necessary:

Wind ow demist ing and d e-icing

Heating is switched off a utomatica lly after app rox . 15 m inutes. To switch it off before that time: Press button Ü again.

Disregard can cause the wind ow s to become misted up, whic h can lead to accidents due to lack of proper v ision.

122

AC compressor activation/deact ivatePress the ECO button. ECO appears in the air conditioning display .

Switch on to save fuel. In this mode cooling (AC com pressor) is switc hed off.

Inflowing air is neither cooled nor dehumid ified. This restricts the level of comfort provid ed by the autom atic clima te control system. This may cause the windows to mist up, for example.

To return to opera tion with cooling: p ress the ECO button. ECO d isappears.

Air distribution Press one or more of the following buttons. The corresponding symbol app ears in the air conditioning display:

s: Air distribution to windscreenand front side windows.

To activa te: Turn the right-hand rotary knob c lockwise.

To return to automatic m ode: press the AUTO button.

123

Air reci rculation systemThe a ir recirculation system prevents the entry of outside air and the air in the passenger com partment is circulated .

Press button 4 . % appears in the air conditioning d isplay .

The exchange of fresh air is reduced in air circulation mode. The quality of the passenger com partment a ir deteriorates which may cause the vehicle occupants to feel drowsy. In op eration without c ooling the a ir humid ity increases, so the wind ow s may mist up. Conseq uently , the air circulation system should only be run for short periods of tim e.

To switch off a ir recirculation: Press button 4 again.

Air condit ioning wi th the eng ine not running When the vehicle is stop ped and the ignition off, the heat or cooling power still in the system can b e used to condition the passenger compa rtm ent, for example when stop ped at a level crossing.

Press AUTO with the ignition off. The preselected temperature appea rs in the air conditioning display. The temperature can be a djusted with the left-ha nd rotary knob.

The air conditioning will operate for a limited period of tim e.

To deactivate air conditioning, press the AUTO button.

124

Air intake The air intakes in front of the wind screen on the far left and right-hand sides of the engine compartment must be kept free of lea ves, d irt and snow.

Air outletDo not cover the air outlets when storing item s in the luggage com partment storage compartments.

Pollen filter The pollen filter cleans the air entering from outside and filters dust, soot, pollen and spores from the interior air if the air recirculation system 3 is active. The active carbon layer 3 e liminates m ost odours a nd ha rm ful a mbient ga ses from the air.

The pollen filter must b e replaced at the intervals specified in the Service Booklet.

Note If the windsc reen is misted due to damp weather, temporarily set the system as desc ribed under "Wind ow dem isting".

Cooling 3 functions most efficiently when the wind ow s a nd sun roof 3 are closed. If the passenger compa rtm ent has heated up considerably after a long period in direct sunlight, briefly open the windows and sun roof 3 so that the hot air can esca pe q uick ly .

125

When cooling 3 (AC compressor) is switched on, c ondensation forms, which is expelled from the underside of the vehicle.

At lea st one air vent must b e open while cooling 3 (air conditioning compressor) is on in order to prevent the evaporator from icing up due to lack of air movement.

For trouble-free operation of the automatic climate control system 3, d o not c over the sensor between the air vents in front of the windscreen.

Maintenance In order to ensure consistently good op eration, the AC compressor 3 m ust be switched on for severa l minutes once per month irrespective of the weather or time of year. Op eration with cooling (AC compressor) 3 is not possib le when outside temperatures are low .

If a fault occurs, consult a w orkshop. We recommend your 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 running Many units w ill not function in this situation (e.g. brake servo unit, power steering 3 ). Driv ing in this ma nner is a danger to yourself and others.

Brake servo unit When the engine is not running, the brake servo unit is no longer effective once the brake peda l has been depressed once or twice. Braking effect is not reduced , but significantly greater force is required for braking.

Power steering 3 If 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 trailer/caravan 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 engines: On gradients of 10 % or more, do not drive fa ster tha n 20 mph (30 km/h) in first gea r or 30 mp h (50 km/h) in second gea r.

Driving with a roof load Do not exceed the perm issible roof load – see page 234. For reasons of safety, distribute the loa d evenly a nd secure it properly with reta ining straps so that it cannot slip. Adjust ty re pressure to the load conditions. Do not d rive fa ster than 75 mph (120 km /h). Check and retighten the straps freq uently .

Switching off the engine When you switch off, fans in the eng ine compa rtm 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 turb ocharged engine 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 ord er to protec t the turbocharger.

139

Save energy – more miles Please 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 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 de-clutch. 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 turb ocharged engine Flow -g enerated noises may be aud ible if the a ccelerator is released quickly on account of air flow in the turbocharger.

Engine speed Drive in a low engine speed range for each gear a s m uc h as possible.

Warming up Allow 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.

After a cold start, the automatic tra nsmission 3 a nd Easytronic 3 do not shift into higher gears until higher engine speeds have been reached. This allow s the catalytic converter to quickly reac h the temperature required for optimum pollutant reduction.

Correct gear selection Do not race your 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 foot rest; this will cause substantial clutch wear.

PedalsDo not place any ob jects in the foot well 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 front seats, etc. ).

Declutch w hen sta rting in order to relieve the strain on the starter and the ba ttery.

140

Saving fuel,protecting the environment

Trend-setting technologyWhen developing and manufac turing your vehic le, Vauxhall used environment-friendly and in the m ain recyc la ble materials. The production methods used to make your vehicle are likewise env ironmenta lly -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.

A highly advanced design mea ns that your vehic le can be easily disassembled at the end of its working life, and the individual materials separated for subsequent re-use.

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 available at www.Vauxhall.co.uk.

Energy and environment-conscious driving z High noise levels and exhaust em issions

are often a result of driving w ithout due attention to saving energy and protecting the environment.

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 the quality of life.

Fuel consum ption d epend s to a great extent on your own personal d riv ing style. The following hints are intended to help you consume fuel at a rate that is as close as possible to the specified levels – see page 231.

Check your vehicle’s fuel consumption every time you refuel. This facilitates early detection of any irregula rities causing increased fuel consumption.

Warming up z 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 speed z Hectic driving significantly increases fuel

consumption, the exhaust emissions, the proportion of pollutant in the exhaust gas and the noise level.

z Do not accelerate a nd brake unnecessarily . Drive at uniform speed, watching the road.

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 .

Idling z 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 one kilometre of driving.

141

Overrun z 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 139.

z To enable the overrun cut-off to come into action and save fuel, do not accelerate or d eclutch during overrun.

Correct gear selection z High revs increase engine w ear and fuel

consumption.

z Do not race your engine. Avoid d riv ing at high engine speeds.

Making use of the tachom eter helps to save fuel. Drive in a low engine speed ra nge for each gear as much a s possible with uniform engine speeds. Drive as often as possible in top gear, select the next higher gear a s soon as possible, and only chang e down when the engine is no longer running perfectly smoothly .

High speed z The higher the speed , the higher the

consumption and the noise level. At top speed, you consume a great deal of fuel and produce excessive noise and exhaust em issions.

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 pressure z Inadequate ty re p ressure, leading to

higher road resistance, costs m oney in two wa ys: for more fuel and increased 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 all aux iliary electrical loads (e.g. air c onditioning 3, heated rear window) when not needed.

Roof racks, ski-holders z Due to air resistance, a roof load can

increase fuel consump tion by approx. 3.5 gal/1000 m iles (1 l/100 km ).

z Remove them if they are not being used.

Repair and maintenance z Improper repairs or adjustm ent and

maintenance work can increase fuel consumption. Do not carry out w ork on the eng ine yourself.

You may out of ignorance infringe environmental law s b y not disposing of materials properly.

Appropriate parts might not b e recycled.

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 your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Extreme driving conditionsz Going up steep slopes, cornering, driving

on poor road s a nd winter driving a ll 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.

142

Fuel consumption,fuel, refuelling

Fuel consumption Fuel consump tion is determined und er specific driv ing conditions – see page 231.

Special equipment increases the weight of the vehicle. As a result, they can increase fuel consump tion and reduce the specified maximum speed.

There is increased friction betw een engine and transmission parts during the first 1000 kilometres. This increases fuel consump tion.

Fuel for petrol engines Commercially available high-quality fuels a re suita ble (cata lytic converter – see p age 144, octane numbers – see pages 228, 229). Fuel quality has a dec isive 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 tim ing is a utoma tica lly adjusted according to the grade of fuel used (octane number) – see pages 228, 229.

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-temperature properties a re therefore available on the market during the winter months. Make sure that you fill the tank with winter fuel before the start of the cold weather season.

Additives can be used with diesel fuels with winter prop erties that are guaranteed by the manufa cturer and when using diesel fuel filters that are heated depending on the outside temperature.

143

Fuel fil ler cap If the fuel filler cap must be replaced, use only the Genuine Vauxhall fuel filler c ap designed for your model to ensure that full func tionality is retained. Vehicles with diesel engine ha ve a sp ecial fuel filler cap.

Refuelling

Fuel filler neck at right rear sid e of vehicle.

On Corsas eq uipp ed with a centra l lock ing system 3, the tank flap is unlocked together with the doors – see pag e 54.

Open the tank flap . To prevent dam age, the right-hand sliding door cannot be fully op ened if the tank flap is op en.

To unloc k the fuel filler cap, unlock with the ignition key 3 , unscrew and susp end from tank flap.

The fuel tank has a limiting system which prevents overfilling of the tank.

Correct filling depends to a la rg e extent on prop er operation of the fuel dispensing pump:

1. Fully insert the pump nozzle 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 c lose, place fuel filler cap in position and turn, overcom ing the resistance until the ratchet on the cap engages audibly. Lock the fuel filler cap with the ignition key 3.

C lose fuel tank cover.

Wipe off a ny overflowing fuel immediately .

Care must be taken when handling fuel.

Before refuelling , switch off the engine 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 places where petrol can only be detected by its cha ra cteristic smell. If you can smell petrol in the vehicle, have ca use thereof remedied immed iately. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Catalytic converter, exhaust gases

Catalytic converter for petrol enginesLeaded fuel will da mage the cata lytic converter and parts of the electronic system, rend ering them inoperative.

Use of high-qua lity fuels other than those specified on p age 142 (e.g. LR P1)) 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 your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, as quic kly 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 S tability Program 3 com e into action are determined b y the op erating conditions and are therefore of no significance – see pages 148, 149.

z If unb urnt fuel enters the c atalytic converter, this may result in overheating and irreparable damage to the c atalytic converter.

You should therefore avoid unnecessarily long use of the starter when setting off, running the tank dry (an erratic fuel supply leads to overhea ting) and starting the engine by pushing or towing.

z If the emission control indicator Z flashes, slow down until the flashing stops a nd the control indicator is steady. Conta ct a workshop immediately . We recommend your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. Em ission control ind ic ator Z – see pa ge 146.

Catalytic converter for diesel engines 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 your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, as quickly as possible in the event of irregular eng ine running, a sig nificant loss of eng ine power or other unusual malfunctions. I f necessary, driving may be continued for a short tim e a t 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 Stability Program 3 come into ac tion are determined by the opera ting conditions and a re therefore of no sig nificance – see pages 148, 149.

Controlling exhaust emission Throug h design-rela ted measures – mainly in the a rea 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.

146

Control indica tor Z for exhaust Lights up w hen the ignition is switched on and during the start a ttempt. Goes off shortly after the engine starts running.

If it lights while the engine running there is a fault in the emission control system. The permitted emission values may b e exceeded. Consult a workshop immediately . We recomm end your Vauxhall 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 the emerg ency running programm e, fuel consumption ma y increa se and the driveability of the vehicle ma y be affected. In some cases the fa ult can b e eliminated b y switching the engine off and ba ck on again. If the control indicator lights up again when the engine is running, consult a workshop to have the cause of the fault eliminated. We recommend your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

147

If it lights briefly, but does not recur, it is of no sig nificance.

If it flashes w hen the ignition is on there is a fault in the imm obiliser system – see page 51.

Exhaust gases

When the vehicle is driven for the first tim e, wax a nd oil on the exhaust system may evap orate, producing sm oke. After driving the vehicle for the first time, allow it to stand in open air to allow the fum es to evap orate and d o not inhale.

Maintenance Have a ll maintenance work carried out at the intervals sp ecified by Vauxhall. We recommend that you entrust this work to your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who has proper equipment and trained personnel a vailable. Electronic testing systems permit rapid diagnosis and remedy of faults. This way you can b e certain that all com ponents of the vehicle’s electrical, injection a nd ignition systems operate correctly, that your vehicle ha s a low level of pollutant emission a nd that the catalytic converter system will have a long service life.

You are thereby making an im portant contribution towards keeping the air clean and c om pliance w ith emissions legislation.

Checking and adjustment of the fuel-injection and ignition systems is part of the scope of inspec tion. For this reason you should have a ll maintenance work carried out a t the intervals specified in your Serv ice Booklet.

Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide, which is colourless and odourless and could be 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.

Drive Control Systems

Traction Control System (TCPlus) 3 The TCPlus prevents the driving wheels from spinning, irrespective of the road conditions and 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.

TCPlus is ready for operation as soon as the ignition is switc hed on and the warning lig ht v g oes out.

When the TCPlus c om es into action, v flashes.

The vehic le is now in a critical situation; TCPlus a llows you to keep control of the vehicle and remind s you to match your speed to the road c onditions.

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 drivingThis 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.

Lights w hile driving Fault in the system: Driving can continue. Spinning drive wheels can cause d riv ing stability to worsen unless driving style is ada pted, depending on acceleration and road surface.

Have the cause of the fa ult remedied. We recommend that you consult your 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.

Electric StabilityProgram (ESPPlus) 3 Whenever nec essary , EPSPlus imp roves driving stability in any driving situation reg ardless of road conditions and tyre grip. It also prevents the d rive wheels from spinning regard less of road conditions and tyre grip.

The system monitors vehicle m ovements. As soon as the vehicle starts to swerve (und ersteers/oversteers) engine outp ut is red uced (the sound of the engine changes) and individual wheels are specifically braked. This considerably im proves the driving stability of the vehicle on snow and ice and on wet or slipp ery road surfaces.

ESPPlus is ready for operation as soon as the ignition is switched on and the wa rning light v goes out.

When the ESPPlus comes into a ction, v flashes.

The vehic le is now in a critical situation; ESPPlus allows you to keep c ontrol of the vehicle and remind s you to match your speed to the road c onditions.

Have the ca use of the fault rem edied. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. The system’s integrated self-diag nostics a llows faults to be q uick ly remedied.

Lights a fter interruption of p ow er supplye.g. after disconnecting battery .

After a power supply interrup tion the steering angle sensor must be calibrated to ma ke the system operational:

z Automatic calibration d riv ing in straight line a t consta nt slow (15 to 25 mph /20 to 40 km /h) speed on level, dry road.

z Manual calibration by turning steering wheel from limit position to limit position.

If the indicator light does not go off after successful calibration, observe notes in midd le column.

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.

Cruise control 3 Cruise control can store and maintain speeds from approx. 20 to 125 m ph (30 to 200 km/h).

For safety reasons the cruise control cannot be activated until the foot brake has been operated 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 switch on the cruise control only when drive range 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.

Vehicle speed ca n be increased by depressing the a ccelerator peda l. When the accelerator pedal is released, the previously stored speed is resumed.

Increase With 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.

Decelerate With 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.

The cruise control switches off automatically under certa in driving conditions for safety reasons.For example:

z the vehicle’s speed drops belowapprox. 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 speed Tap 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.

151

Parking distance sensor 3 Park distance sensor ma kes 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 on, Parking distance sensor switches on automatically when reverse g ear is enga ged. Its operational rea diness is indicated by a brief acoustic signa l.

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.

Fitting rear load racks 3 Rear load racks, e. g. bicycle ra cks, fitted nea r the sensors could disrupt the system .

Fault In the event of a system fault, 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 your Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer.

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 in the rear. For this reason, care must be taken when reversing even if Pa rk ing distance sensor is op erational. This is of pa rticular im portance when in the vicinity of pedestria ns.

Wheels, tyres

Tyres See page 243 for suitable tyres a nd restrictions.

Tyres fitted in the factory are a dapted to the c hassis a nd provide optimum driving comfort and safety .

Changing tyre/wheel typeBefore changing to tyres or w heels of a different size, seek ad vice as regards tec hnical possibilities. We recom mend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who will be aware of any necessary chang es.

If tyre of a size d ifferent than those mounted at the factory are mounted, the electronic speedometer m ay need reprogramming in order to ensure that the speed disp la y is correct.

Fit ting new tyres Fit ty res in pairs or in sets, which is even better. Ensure that tyres on one axle are z the sam e size z the sam e desig n z the sam e ma ke z and have the sam e tread pa ttern.

Fit directional tyres such tha t they roll in the direction of travel. The rolling direc tion is indica ted b y a sym bol (e.g . an arrow) on the sidewall.

Tyres fitted op posing the rolling direction (such as when changing a tyre) should be refitted as soon as possible. This is the only way to b enefit fully from the design prop erties of the ty re.

Som e brands of ty res have a beaded edge for alloy w heels to protec t against dam age. If wheel covers are used on steel wheels with beaded-edge tyres, the following procedure must be followed:

z Use of wheel covers and tyres that are approved by Vauxhall a nd fulfil all requirem ents for the wheel/tyre combination.

z If the wheel c overs and tyres used are not Vauxhall-approved, the tyres m ust not have a bea ded edge.

Use of unsuitab le tyres or wheels m ay lead to accidents and render the vehicle unroa dworthy .

We recommend that you have your ty res chang ed b y your 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.

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

157

Tyre pressure Check 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 pa ge 243 and the adhesive foil on the insid e of the fuel tank flap. H ave adhesive foil replaced after changing to different tyre size.

Do not reduce tyre pressure when the ty res are warm. Otherwise the pressure m ay drop below the permissible minim um when the ty res cool down.

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 blow-out at high sp eeds.

Hidden tyre d amage is not eliminated by adjusting inflation p ressure.

Tyre condition, wheel condition Drive over edges slowly and at a right angle if possible. Driv ing over sharp edg es can lead to hidd en tyre damage and wheel dam age which is only noticed later on.

When p arking, ensure that the tyres are not pressed against the edge of the kerb.

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 your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Incorrect ty re p ressure can lead to tyre rupture.

Damage may lead to tyre blow-out.

158

Tread depth Check tread depth regularly.

Should the front tyres show greater wear than the rear tyres, ha ve both front wheels exchanged with the rear wheels so that the tyres w ith deeper tread are on the front axle.

Correct tyre pressure.

For reasons of safety, tyres should be rep la ced when their tread depth has worn down to 2 to 3 mm (winter tyres: 4 mm).

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 information

z The risk of aq ua planing is greater if the tyres are worn.

z Tyres age, even if they a re used only very little or not at all. A spare wheel which has not b een used for six years should be used only in emergencies; drive slowly when using suc h ty res.

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 trims approved for use on your vehicle.

Winter tyres 3 For notes on fitting new tyres – see page 156.

See page 243 for restric tions.

Winter tyres (M+ S tyres) im prove safety at tem peratures below 7 °C and should therefore be fitted on all the wheels.

The d esign of summ er tyres mea ns they have limited qualities for winter driving.

If the maxim um perm issible speed for the winter ty res is less than that of the vehicle, a notice ind icating the ma ximum permissible speed for the tyres must be affixed within the driver’s field of v ision1).

If you use the spare wheel when it is fitted with a summer tyre, the vehicle’s driveability may be affected, espec ia lly on slip pery roa d surfaces. Ob ta in a rep la cement for the faulty ty re as soon a s possible, and have the wheel balanced and fitted to the vehicle.

Wheel covers 3 If the wheel covers and tyres used are not Vauxhall-approved , make sure that the tyres d o not have a bea ded edge.

Tyre chains 3 See pag e 243 for restrictions.

Tyre chains are only p ermitted on the front wheels. They must be fitted to the tyres symmetrically in order to a chieve a concentric fit.

Alw ays use fine mesh chains that add no more than 15 m m to the ty re tread and the inboard sides (including chain lock).

We rec om mend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Wheel trim on steel wheels could come into contact with parts of the cha in and be dam aged . Remove the wheel trim – see pag e 179.

Tyre cha ins may only be used at sp eeds up to 30 mph (50 km/h) and, when travelling on roads that are free of snow , they m ay be used for brief periods only since they are subject to rap id wea r on a hard road a nd ma y sna p.

Tempora ry spar e w heel 3 Tyre chains must not be used on the temporary spare wheel. If you need to use tyre chains after suffering a flat front tyre, fit the temporary spa re on the rear ax le and transfer one of the rea r wheels to the front axle.

Wheel changing – see pag e 179.

Correct tyre pressure – see pa ge 243.

1) Varies fro m country to country o n account of national regulations .

152

Brakes Brake system The brakes are a n important factor for tra ffic safety .

To improve effectiveness, do not brake unnec essarily ha rd for the first 120 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 w orn b ra ke p ads replaced. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer, who will fit pa ds that have been tested and a pproved by Vauxhall and guarantee optim um braking power.

Brake pad s that have worn down to the minimum thic kness will squeal. Driving may be continued. H ave the brake pad s replaced as soon as possible. Consult a workshop for brake pad replacement. We recommend your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

153

Brake servo unit When the brake peda l is q uick ly and forcefully depressed, the vehicle is automatically braked with ma ximum b ra ke force a mplification in order to obtain the shortest possib le brak ing distance during full-on bra king (brake servo unit).

Maintain the p ressure on the brake pedal for as long as full-on braking is required. Max imum brake force amplification is deactivated as soon as the brake ped al is released.

Foot b rake The foot brake comp rises two independent brake circuits.

If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can still be braked using the other brake circuit. If this oc curs, however, the brake pedal m ust be depressed quite far using considerable force before braking effect occurs. The distance required for braking will b e greater. Consult a workshop before continuing your journey. We recomm end your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

To ensure the full pedal travel can be utilized, esp ecially in c ase of a fault in one of the brake circuits, there must be no mats in the vicinity of the peda ls – see p age 139.

When the engine is not running, the support of the brake servo unit disap pears once the brake pedal has been depressed once or twice. Braking effect is not reduc ed, but braking requires signific antly greater force. This is especially im portant to bear in mind w hen towing .

Check the brake lights before starting out on a journey.

Shortly a fter sta rting each journey the effectiveness of the brake system should be tested at low speed a nd without inconveniencing other traffic, especially if the brakes are wet, e.g. a fter the vehicle has been washed.

The brake fluid level should be checked regula rly . If the brake fluid level is too low and the ha nd brake is not applied, control indicator R on the instrument panel lights up – see page 32.

154

Hand brake Always apply hand brake firm ly. On slopes apply the hand brake as firmly as possible.

The m echanical hand b ra ke a cts on the brakes on the rea r wheels. It engag es automatically when applied.

To relea se the ha nd b ra ke pull the lever up slig htly , press the ratchet knob, a nd fully lower the lever.

Brake system c ontrol indic ator RThe control indica tor lig hts when the ignition is switc hed on if the ha nd brake is applied or if the brake or clutc h fluid level is too low. Brake fluid – see page 216.

ABS u 3 The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) continuously monitors the vehicle’s brake system and prevents the wheels from locking regardless of the road condition and tyre grip.

It starts to regulate the braking pressure as soon a s a wheel shows a tendency to lock. The vehicle rema ins steerable, even in the event of very heavy braking, for insta nce on bends or when swerving to a void an obstacle. Even in the c ase of full-on brak ing, the ABS makes it possible to drive round an obstacle w ithout releasing the brakes.

ABS control is mad e ap parent thoug h a pulse in the brake pedal and the noise of the regulation process.

If the control indicator lights when the hand brake is not applied: S top. Interrupt your journey immediately. Consult a workshop. We recommend your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

155

Control ind icator u for ABSWhen the ignition is switched on, the control indicator lights for a few second s while the system performs a self-check, whic h ma y be audible. The system is ready for operation when the control indicator goes out.

If the control indicator does not go out after a few seconds, or if it lights up while driving, there is a fault in ABS. The vehicle’s brake system rem ains 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 your Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer. The system’s integrated self-diagnostics allows faults to be quickly remedied .

For optimum b ra king, keep the brake pedal fully depressed throughout the braking process, despite the fac t tha t the p edal is pulsating. Do not reduce the pressure on the pedal.

Do not let this special safety feature tempt you into taking risk s when driving.

Traffic safety can only be achieved by adopting a responsib le driving style.

If there is a fault in ABS, the wheels m ay be sub ject to locking due to braking tha t is heavier than normal. The a dvantages of AB S are no longer opera tional. The vehicle may sw erve.

Roof racks, caravan and trailer towing

Roof racks 3 For reasons of safety and to avoid damaging the roof, we recommend that you use the Vauxhall roof rack system approved for your vehicle. Consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Disenga ge c overs concealing roof rack mounts by pushing sliders in direc tion of arrow (e.g. with coin) and remove. To close roof rack mounts, insert covers at front a nd engage slid ers at rear.

Fasten the roof ra ck follow ing the instructions the a ccompany the system.

Driv ing hints – see pa ge 138.

Towing equipment 3 Always use trailer towing equipment that is app roved for the vehicle. We recommend that you entrust retrofitting of tow ing equipment to your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who will be able to provide inform ation about possible towed load increa ses. The Vauxhall Authorised Repairer has instructions on how to install the tow ing equipment and any possible modifications to the vehicle that affec t the cooling system or other equipment.

Retrofitting of towing equipm ent is not possible for vehicles with Parking distanc e sensor.

For installation dimensions of the trailer towing equipment – see pages 251, 252.

Disregard of these notes can lead to injuries whic h may be fatal. Vehicle passengers should be informed accordingly.

Caravan and trailer loads1)

The permissible caravan/trailer loads are vehicle- and eng ine-dependent m aximum values which must not be exceed ed. The actual caravan/trailer load is the difference between the actual gross weight of the caravan/trailer and the actual coupling socket load with the caravan/trailer coupled. When the carava n/trailer load is being checked, therefore, only the caravan/trailer w heels – and not the jockey wheel – must be standing on the weighing apparatus.

The permissib le caravan/trailer load s for your vehicle are given in the vehicle documents. Unless otherwise stated, they are valid for g ra dients up to max. 12%.

The permissible c aravan/trailer load should be fully utilised only by drivers w ho a re adequately exp erienced in tow ing large or hea vy ca ravans/trailers.

6

1) Obs erve national regulatio ns.

166

The p ermissible caravan/trailer load applies up to the specified incline and up to an altitude of 1000 m etres above sea level. Since engine power decreases as altitude increases because the air becomes thinner (thereb y reduc ing climbing ability), the permissible tow ing weight also decreases by 10% for every 1000 metres of additional altitude. The towing weight does not have to be reduced when driving on roads with slig ht inclines (less than 8%, e. g. motorways).

The actual caravan/trailer load plus the actual gross vehicle w eight must not exc eed the m aximum p ermitted towing weight. For example, if the permitted gross vehicle weig ht is utilised, the trailer/caravan load must only b e used until the maximum permitted towing weight is reached . The maximum permitted towing weight is shown on the id entific ation p la te – see page 226.

Coupling socket load The coupling socket load is the load exerted by the trailer/caravan on the coupling ball. It can be va ried by changing the weight distribution when loading the trailer/caravan.

167

The ma ximum permissible coup ling socket load (50 kg) is specified on the towing equipm ent identification plate and in the vehic le documents. Alw ays aim for the maximum load, especia lly in the ca se of heavy caravans/trailers. The c oupling soc ket load should never fall below 25 kg.

When mea suring the coup ling socket load, make sure that the drawbar of the loa ded trailer/caravan is at the sa me height as it will be when the trailer/caravan is coupled with the towing vehicle load ed. Particularly important for trailers/caravans w ith tandem axle.

Rear axle load during towing Corsa saloonWhen the caravan/trailer is coupled and 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 45 kg and the permissible gross vehicle weight by 15 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 be observed.

Corsa deliver y va n, Com bo The permissible axle loads must not be exc eeded.

Tyre pressure Increase tyre pressure on the towing vehicle to the value specified for a full load (see pages 243, 244). Also check the inflation pressure of the spare wheel and the caravan/trailer wheels.

168

Driving characteristics, towing tips For caravans/trailers with brake, a tta ch the break-away stopping cable to the eye (see arrow in figure).

Before attaching the trailer/caravan, lubricate the ball of the trailer/c aravan towing device. However, do not lub rica te the b all if a stabiliser, which acts on the coupling ball, is being used to da mp hunting.

Handling is greatly influenced by the loading of the trailer/caravan. Loads should therefore be secured so that they cannot slip and be placed in the c entre of the trailer/caravan if possible, i.e. above the a xle.

In the case of trailers with low driving stability, do not exceed a speed of 50 mph (80 km /h); the use of a friction-type stabiliser is highly recommend ed.

Check caravan/trailer lighting before starting to drive. The fog tail lights on the vehicle are deactivated w hen towing a caravan or trailer.

Do not d rive faster than 50 mph (80 km/h) if possible, even in countries where hig her speeds are permitted.

Make sure that you ha ve enoug h room when cornering and avoid sudden ma noeuvres.

If the trailer/caravan starts to sway, drive more slowly , do not attem pt to correct the steering and brake sha rp ly if necessary .

The cooling fan is electrically operated. Its cooling power is therefore independent of the engine speed.

S ince a c onsiderab le am ount of heat is generated at high engine speeds and less at slower speeds, do not shift down when climb ing hills whilst the vehic le is still coping with the gradient in the hig her gear.

169

Diesel engine: On rising g ra dients 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 autom atic transmission, d o not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h) in position 1.

When driving downhill, towing a caravan/trailer subjects the brakes to a heavier load than norm al. For this reason, select the same gear as when driving uphill and drive at a similar speed. With automa tic transm ission, engage position 3, 2 or even 1.

Select D again as soon as driv ing conditions permit.

Ea sytronic 3 in autom atic mode or automatic transmission 3 in D will automatically select the driving programme with optimum engine b ra king effect.

If full-on braking is required , depress the brake pedal as hard as possib le.

Remem ber that the braking distance for vehic les towing caravans/trailers w ith a nd without brake is a lways grea ter than that for vehicles not towing a caravan/trailer.

Starting on inclines For vehicles with manual transm ission, the most favourable eng ine speed when starting off on an incline is between 2500 and 3000 rpm for petrol engines and between 2000 and 2500 rpm for diesel engines. Hold engine rp m constant, engage clutch gradually (let slip), release brake and open throttle. If possible, the engine speed should not drop during this proc edure.

On vehicles with Easytronic 3 in autom atic mode or automatic transmission 3 in D, it is sufficient to apply full throttle.

Before starting off under extreme conditions (high combination weight, mountainous terrain w ith steep inclines), switch off all unnecessary electrical loads (e.g. heated rear window, air conditioning system 3, heated front seats 3).

Self-help

Diesel fuel system, bleeding Never let the tank run dry! If control indicator Y lights up, refuel as soon as possible. Refuel immediately if it flashes.

It is p ossib le to restart the engine if the ta nk ha s b een run dry . A delayed start is to be exp ected. Sw itc h on the ignition for approx. 40 seconds. Then attem pt to start the engine for approx. 40 seconds. If the engine d oes not start, wait a few minutes and try again. I f the engine does not start, consult a workshop. We recommend your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Do not start with quick charger This 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 – see page 144.

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 A disc ha rg ed b attery c an freez e at temperatures as low a s 0 °C. Defrost the battery before connecting jum p leads.

z Wear eye protection and protec tive clothing when handling a battery.

Disreg ard of these notes ca n lead to injuries which may be fatal. 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.

171

z Use auxiliary battery with sam e voltag e (12 volts). Its capacity (Ah) must not be considerab ly less than that of the discharged battery. Voltage and capacity information can be found on the batteries.

z Use jump leads with insulated terminals and a width of a t least 16 mm 2 (25 mm2 for diesel eng ines).

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 Do not touch the vehicles w hile jump starting.

z Ap ply hand brake. Transmission in neutra l (automa tic transmission 3 in P, Easytronic 3 in N).

1. Connec t one end of the first jump lead to the positive terminal 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 Start the engine of the vehicle prov iding the jump start.

z After 5 minutes, start the other engine. Start attempts should be made at intervals of 1 minute not last longer than 15 seconds.

z After starting, allow both eng ines to idle for approx. 3 m inutes with the leads 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 consumer (e.g. light, heated rear window) in the vehicle receiving the jump sta rt.

z Reverse above seq uence exac tly when removing leads.

Maintenance,inspection System

In ord er to guarantee economical and sa fe vehic le operation a nd to maintain the value of your vehicle, it is of vital importance tha t all maintenance work is carried out at the p roper intervals as specified by Vauxhall.

The oil c hange and serv ice intervals are flex ible, based on a numb er of different param eters and the conditions under which the vehicle is used. Various engine-specific da ta is c ontinuously record ed a nd used to ca lc ulate the remaining distance until the next service is due.

This rem aining distance can be shown on the speedometer display w ith the ignition off and the mileage odometer off: Press the actuating knob und er the odometer, InsP and the remaining dista nce will b e displayed.

If the remaining dista nce is less than 1000 miles (1500 km), InsP is displayed w ith a remaining distanc e of 600 miles (1000 km) when the ig nition is sw itched on. InsP is displayed for several second s if the remaining distance is less than 300 miles (500 km ). Have the serv ice work that is due carried out within one week or 300 miles (500 km). H ave this work c arried out by a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer in order to avoid loss of wa rranty claims.

The service interval display takes acc ount of off-the-road periods during which the battery is disconnected.

Further information on maintenance and the inspection system can 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 your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who is familiar w ith Vauxhall vehicles and in possession of the necessary special tools and the latest service instructions from Vauxhall. In order to avoid inva lid ation of any warranty claim, it is espec ially important to entrust work to a Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer during the wa rra nty period . For further information, see the Service Booklet.

Sepa rate anti-c orrosion service Have this service performed once a year, either as part of an Annual Insp ection or sepa ra tely; see Servic e Booklet. To avoid invalidation of any warranty claim aga inst rust-through, we recomm end that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer.

211

A note on safety Always switch ignition off when performing checks in the engine compartment (e.g. check ing the b ra ke fluid level or the eng ine oil level) due to risk of injury from live cables and rotating parts.

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 unwittingly infringe the provisions of the law and, by not performing the work prop erly, endanger yourself and other road users.

Checking and topping up fluids The ca ps for topping up the engine oil, the coolant, the washing fluid and the oil dipstick handle are yellow for ease of identification.

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 ig nition system s genera te very high voltag es. Do not touch the ignition system ; high voltage can be fatal.

212

Engine oil Information on engine oils is available in the Service Booklet.

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.

Therefore, chec k the engine oil level, particularly before undertak ing a long journey.

Engine oil level chec k,topping up engine oilThe illustrations show chec king and top ping up of various petrol and diesel engines.

The oil level m ust be checked with the vehicle horizontal and with the engine (w hich m ust be at operating temp erature) switched off. Wait at least five minutes before checking the level to allow the normal oil accumulation in the engine to drain back into the oil pan.

To chec k the oil level, wipe oil d ip stick and insert up to stop on handle. Top up if the oil level is near the MIN m ark.

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 marks – see pag e 248.

Im porta nt : I t is the owner’s responsibility to maintain the proper level of an appropriate quality oil in the engine.

213

When topping up, use the same type of oil as used during the la st oil chang e and pay strict attention to the instructions in the Service Booklet.

Ca pacities – see p age 248.

Oil c hange, oil fil ter change Change the oil at the disp la yed service intervals.

We rec om mend that you use genuine 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.

214

Diesel fuel f ilter Check fuel filter for a ny w ater residue when each engine oil cha ng e takes place. We recom mend tha t you consult your 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 pressurised. 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 ap prox . –28 °C. I t rema ins in the cooling system throughout the year and need not b e cha ng ed.

Use of certain a nti-freezes ca n lead to engine dam age. We therefore rec om mend the use of anti-freezes that have been 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. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer. The anti-freeze concentration must provide p rotection down to approx. –28 °C. If the anti-freeze concentration is too low , this reduces p rotection from freezing and corrosion. Add anti-freeze if nec essary .

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.

215

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 in the compensation tank should b e slightly above the mark KALT/COLD with the cooling system cold. It rises when the engine is wa rm and falls again as it c ools. If it drop s b elow the marking in this case, it should be topped up to a level just above the marking.

Top up anti-freeze. I f no anti-freeze is available, top up w ith c lean tap water. If tap water is unavailable, distilled water can be used.

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 your Vauxhall Authorised Rep airer.

When closing, tighten coola nt filler cap as fa r as it will go.

Coolant temp era ture For physical reasons, the engine temperature gauge shows the coolant temperature only if the coolant level is adequate.

During operation the system is pressurised. 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 Low coolant level:

Top up coolant. Pay attention to the instructions given under "Anti-freeze and corrosion protection" and "Coolant level". Have the cause of coolant loss remedied . We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

z Coolant level OK:Have the c ause of inc reased coolant temperature remed ied. Contact a workshop. We rec om mend that you consult your 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.

216

Brake fluid Brake fluid is hygroscopic, i. e. it ab sorbs water. If the brakes b ecome hot, suc h as when d riv ing on long downhill stretches, vap our bubb les can occur in the w ater, which can have an extrem ely adverse effect on braking power (depending on the proportion of w ater).

The fluid change intervals specified in the Service Booklet m ust therefore be observed.

Windscreen wiper Clea r vision is essential for safe driv ing.

The cleaning effect of the windscreen wiper and the windscreen washing system 3 should therefore be checked at regular intervals. We recommend repla cing the wiper b la des at least once a yea r.

If the windscreen is dirty, operate the screen wash before switching on the wind screen wiper or setting the w iper to autom atic opera tion w ith the rain sensor 3 . This will avoid wiper blade wear.

Do not switch on the wind screen wiper or set them to automa tic operation with the ra in sensor 3 if the windscreen is iced up as this could dama ge the wiper b la des or the wiper system .

If the wiper bec om es frozen on to the glass, we rec om mend that they be released with the aid of Vauxhall De-icer Spray .

Smearing wiper blades c an be cleaned with a soft c loth and Vauxhall Clea ning Solvent and Anti-Freez e.

Wiper blades whose lips have become hardened, cracked or covered with silicone must be replac ed. This may be necessary as a result of the effects of ic e, thawing salt or hea t, or the incorrect use of cleaning agents.

Switc h off w indscreen wiper or autom atic wiper system w ith rain sensor 3 in ca r washes – see pages 17, 222.

Windscreen wiper blade maintenance – see pag e 224.

We recom mend that you ha ve brake fluid changed by a Va uxha ll Authorised Repairer, who will be familiar with the requirements of the law as regards disposal of brake fluid and can thus help to protect the environment and your health.

217

To ensure proper operation of the ra in sensor 3, the sensor a rea must be free from dust, dirt and ice. The windscreen w ash system m ust also be operated at regular intervals and the sensor a rea m ust be de-iced. Vehicles with rain sensor 3 ca n be identified by the sensor area near the top of the w indscreen.

Wiper blad es on the wind sc reen Lift wiper arm. Move relea se lever and detach w ip er blad e.

Wiper blade on the rear wind ow 3 Lift wiper arm. Disengage wiper blade as show n in illustration a nd remove.

218

Windscreen and headlight wash systems 3 Reservoir for wind screen wash and rear windscreen wash at driver’s side in engine compartment.

In vehicles with head lig ht washing system 3, the filler opening is in the engine compartment behind the right-hand head lig ht – see Fig. 14246 S.

Fill only with clean w ater to prevent the nozzles from clogging. To improve cleaning efficiency, we recommend that you add a little Vauxhall Wind screen Wash Solvent.

The windscreen wash system and headlight wash system w ill not freeze in winter:

When closing the container, press the lid firmly over the beaded ed ge a ll the way round.

Battery The battery is m aintenance-free.

Retrofitted electrical or electronic acc essories can p lace an additional load on the battery or even discha rg e the battery. We recom mend that you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer regarding technical possibilities, suc h as fitting a more powerful battery.

z Calibrate steering angle sensor (ESP) 3 – see pa ge 149.

In order to prevent the b attery from discharging , som e c onsumers suc h as the courtesy light automatically switch off after approx. 30 minutes.

Protecting electronic com ponents In order to prevent faults in electronic components in the electrica l system, never connect or disconnect battery with engine running or ignition switched on. Never start engine w ith b attery disconnected, e.g. when starting using jump leads.

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).

Disconnect/connec t vehicle ba ttery fr om/to electrical systemDisconnect the b attery from the vehic le electrical system before charging : First detach the negative and then the positive lead. Do not reverse the polarity of the battery, i.e. do not confuse the terminals for the p ositive and neg ative leads. When connecting, sta rt with the positive lead and then c onnec t the neg ative lead.

Electronic ignition system s generate very hig h voltages. Do not touch the ignition system; high voltage can b e fatal.

Vehicle care Obtain adv ice from a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer regarding cleaning materials tha t ha ve b een tested a nd recomm ended by Vauxhall.

When caring for your vehicle, observe all na tional environm ental reg ulations, particula rly when wa shing it.

Regular, thorough care helps to improve the appearance of your vehicle and maintain its value over the years. It is a lso a prerequisite for warranty claims for any paint or corrosion damag e. The following pages contain tips for vehicle care which, if used properly , will help combat the unavoida ble d amaging effects of the environment.

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 and 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 18. 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 wind ow s will impair vision.

Observe national regulations.

Waxing Wax 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.

Polishing Polishing 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.

Wheels Use 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.

223

Paintwork damage Repair small area s of p aint damage suc h as stone impacts, scratches etc. immediately using a n Vauxhall 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 your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. Please also pay attention to surfaces and edg es beneath the vehicle where which rust ma y have form ed unnoticed for some time.

Tar spots Tar spots must not be rem oved with ha rd objects, b ut instead immediately cleaned off with Tar Removal Spray. Do not use tar rem oval spray on headlight and other exterior light bezels.

Exterior lights Headlight and other protective lig ht bezels 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 parts If the carw ash does not c lean plastic and rubb er parts adequately , use cleaner suitable for vehicle interiors. Do not use a ny other agent, and in particular do not use solvents or petrol.

Do not use high-pressure jet clea ners on wheels and tyres.

Wheels and tyres Do not use high-pressure jet clea ners on wheels and tyres.

Interior and upholstery Clean the vehicle interior, including the instrument panel fascia, using interior cleaner.

C lean fabric upholstery w ith a vacuum cleaner and brush. To remove stains, use cleaner tha t is suitable for both fabrics and vinyl.

Do not use cleaning agents suc h as acetone, c arbon tetrachlorid e, paint thinner, paint remover, nail varnish remover, washing pow der or b leach to clean fabrics, carpets, the dashboard or leather trim 3 in the vehicle interior. Benzine is also unsuita ble.

Seat belts Always keep seat b elts clean a nd dry.

C lean only with lukewarm w ater or Cleaner.

224

Windows When cleaning the heated rea r window 3, make sure tha t the heating element on the inside of the wind ow is not d amaged.

Use a soft lint-free cloth or chamois leather in conjunction with Wind ow Cleaner and Insect Remover.

Vauxhall C leaning Solvent and Anti-Freeze is suitable for de-icing wind ow s.

For mechanical removal of ice, use a commercially a vailable sharp-edged ice scraper. Press the sc ra per firmly against the g lass so that no dirt can get und er it and scratch the glass.

Windscreen wiper blades Wax such as the wax used in car w ashes can cause smearing on the windscreen when the w indscreen wiper is switched on.

Smearing wiper blades can be c leaned with a soft cloth a nd Vauxhall Cleaning Solvent and Anti-Freeze, and replaced if necessary – see page 216.

Locks The locks are lubricated with a hig h-grad e lock cylinder grease at the fac tory . Vauxhall lock cylinder grease prevents the locks from freezing up. Only use de-ic ing agent in emerg encies, a s they have a degreasing effect a nd will impair the function of the locks. After using a de-icing agent, have the locks re-greased. We recommend that you entrust this to your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Engine compartment Clean painted surfaces in the engine compa rtm ent like any other painted surfac e. For best results, wash and w ax the eng ine compartm ent before and after winter. Before washing the engine, cover the alternator and brake fluid reservoir with plastic sheeting.

When washing the engine with a steam -jet cleaner, d o not direct the steam jet at components of the Anti-lock Brake System 3 , the a utoma tic air conditioning system 3 or the belt drive and its components.

Protective wax that has been applied is also rem oved during the engine wash. For this reason, have the engine, brake system components in the engine c om partment, ax le components with steering , body parts and c avities thoroughly preserved with protec tive w ax after the wash. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer.

An eng ine wash can be performed in the spring in order to remove dirt that has adhered to the engine compartment, which ma y also have a high salt content. Check protective wax layer and make good if nec essary .

Do not use high-pressure jet c leaners on wheels and tyres.

225

Underbody Your vehicle has a fa ctory-applied PVC undercoating in the wheel arches (includ ing the longitudinal members) w hich provides permanent protection and needs no special m aintenance. The surfaces of the vehicle underbody not covered b y PVC are provided with a durable protective w ax coating in critical areas.

On vehicles which are washed frequently in automatic car washes with underbody washing facility , the protective wax coating may be imp aired by dirt-dissolving additives, so check the underbody after washing and have it waxed if necessary. Before the start of the cold weather season, check the PVC coating and protective wax coating and, if necessary, have them restored to perfec t cond ition.

Ca ution – com mercially available bitumen/rubber materials can d amage the PVC coating. We recomm end that you have underbody work carried out by a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who knows the prescribed materials a nd has experience in the use thereof.

The underbody should be washed follow ing the end of the cold w eather season to remove any dirt adhering to the underbody, since this may also c ontain salt. Check protective wax coating a nd , if necessary, have it restored to p erfect condition.

Folding roof 3 The operation, ap pearance and service life of the folding roof mainly depend on correct opera tion and cleaning.

Brush clea n in front to rear direction using soft brush (dry).

Rinse with clean w ater.

In case of heavy soiling: brush roof in one direction with car shampoo and lukewarm water. Rinse with clean w ater.

Alw ays wash the entire roof.

Allow wet roof to dry - keep c losed .

z Do not use high-pressure jet c leaners on wheels a nd tyres.

z Remove bird droppings im med ia tely.

z Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or stain removers.

z With roof open, clean slide rails a nd sliding p arts and grease with acid-free grease once per annum . C lean rubber parts as described in "Plastic and Rubber Parts" – page 223.

z Check wind deflector water drains for blockages and clean if necessary.

z Do not remove snow and ice using sharp objects.

Fuel consumption,CO2 emiss ions Directive 80/1268/EEC (last c hanged by 1999/100/EC) has applied for the measure-ment of fuel consumption sinc e 1996.

The direc tive is oriented to actual driving practices: Urban driv ing is rated at approx. 1/3 and off-road driving with ap prox . 2/3 (urban a nd extra-urban c onsumption). 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 kerb weight, ascer-tained in accordance with the said regula -tion. Optional extras ma y result in slig htly higher fuel consump tion and CO2 emission levels than those quoted.

To convert 1/100km into m pg, div id e 282 by num ber of litres/100km.

Weights, payload and roof load The p ayload is the difference between the permitted g ross vehicle weight (see identi-fication plate, page 226) and the EC kerb weight.

To calculate the kerb weight, enter the data for your vehicle below: z Kerb weight from

Ta ble 1,pages 235 to 241 + ... ..... .... .. kg

z Weight of heavyaccessories from Table 2,page 242 + ... ..... .... .. kg

The total = ... ..... .... .. kg

is the EC kerb w eight.

Optional equipment and accessories in-crea se the kerb w eight, which means tha t the p ayload will also change slig htly.

Note the weights given in the vehicle docu-ments.

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 axle is b earing its m aximum p ermissi-ble load, the rear ax le can only bear a load that is equal to the gross vehicle weight mi-nus the front axle load.

Corsa saloonWhen the caravan/trailer is coupled and 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 45 kg and the permissible gross vehicle weight by 15 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 vehi-cles towing a ca ra van/trailer, this m ust be ob served.

See the identification p la te or vehicle docu-ments for permissible ax le load s.

Corsa deliver y va n, Com boThe permissible axle loads must not be ex-ceeded.

See the identification p la te or vehicle docu-ments for permissible ax le load s.

General inform ationThe permissib le roof load is 100 kg . The roof load consists of the weight of the roof rack plus the load carried.
