Ca r radio reception differs from domestic radio reception:

As the vehicle a erial is relatively near the ground , the broa dcasting com panies cannot guarantee the same quality of reception as is ob tained with a domestic radio using an overhead aerial.

z Changes in distance from the transm itter,

z multi-path rec eption due to reflection and

z sha dowing may c ause hissing , noise, distortion or loss of reception a ltogether.

Infotainment system 3The infotainment system is opera ted as described in the operating instructions supplied.

Electronic data acquisition in toll system sOn vehicles with heat-reflecting wind - screens 3, mount the chipca rd for electronic data a cquisition and billing in the black shaded zone of the windsc reen on the left or the right behind the interior mirror – see illustra tion. If the chipcard is mounted outside this zone, malfunctions ma y occur in data acquisition.

Steering wheel with remote control 3Radio a nd infotainment system functions can be operated using the b uttons on the steering wheel.

For further information, see the respective opera ting instruc tions.

Mobile telephones and radio equipm ent (CB) 3 The Vauxhall installation instructions and the opera ting guid elines provided by the telep hone ma nufacturer must be ob served when fitting and opera ting a mobile telep hone. Failure to do so could invalidate the vehicle’s operating permit (EU Directive 95/54/EG).

Prerequisites for fault-free operation:

z Professionally installed exterior a erial to obtain the maximum rang e possib le,

z Maximum transm ission power 10 W,

z Installation of the telephone in a suitable spot (see note on page 84).

Obtain advice on predetermined insta lla tion locations for the external antenna a nd equipment hold er and ways of using d evices with transmission power of more than 10 Watts. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who will have consoles and va rious installation kits and insta ll them in acc orda nce with regula tions.

Only use the ha nds-free eq uipm ent to ma ke telephone calls whilst driving. This can a lso be a d istraction when d riv ing. Plea se observe country-specific laws.

When used in the vehic le interior, mobile telephones a nd radio eq uipm ent (CB) with integrated aerial may c ause malfunctions in the vehicle electronics.

Mobile telephones and ra dio equipment (CB) should only be used with an aerial fitted on the vehicle exterior.

Notes on loading the vehiclez 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 attached to la shing eyes 3, see page 64. I f 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 lug gage 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 64.

z If objects are being transp orted in the luggage/load compartment, the rear seat backrests must be locked in position – see p ages 59, 61.

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 3 must always b e freely a ccessib le.

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 b e 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 Bulky objects should not be transported with the tailgate open or ajar, otherw ise poisonous exhaust fumes may enter the vehicle.

z Weights, payload and roof lugg age – see page 255.

z Driv ing with a roof load, see pa ges 168, 171, 190, increases the sensitivity of the vehicle to cross-winds and has a detrimenta l effec t on vehicle handling owing to the vehicle’s higher centre of gravity.

Disregard of these notes c an lead to injuries which ma y 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 read the detailed descriptions of the three-stage restra int system and the child restraint system on the following pag es!

The airbag systems serve to supp lement the three-point seat belts and belt tensioners. The seat belts must therefore always be worn. Disregard of these instructions may lea d to injuries or endanger life. Vehicle p assengers should be informed accordingly.

71

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

Control indica tor X for sea t belts, see page 26.

Sea t belts are desig ned to be used by only one person at a time. They a re only suitable for children aged up to 12 or sma ller than 150 cm if used in conjunction with a child seat.

For children up to 12 years of age we recommend the Vauxhall child restraint system, see page 86.

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.

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 74.

72

Belt tens ionersThe front seat belts are equip ped w ith belt tensioners. If head-on or rea r-end c ollisions of a certain severity occur, the b uck les are pulled downward and the shoulder and lap belts are tightened in an instant.

Actuation of belt tensioners is indicated by the control indicator v , see next pa ge.

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

Periodically inspect all pa rts of the belt system for dam age and to ma ke sure they are functioning properly . Dama ged parts, such as overstretched belts, m ust be replaced by new ones.

The seat belts remain fully opera tional even w hen the belt tensioners ha ve been actuated.

Further information – page 75.

73

Control indica tor v for belt tensioners The b elt tensioners are elec tronically monitored a nd the operation thereof is indicated on the instrument panel b y the control indica tor v. When the ignition is switched on the control indicator illuminates for approx. 4 seconds. If it does not illum inate, d oes not go off after 4 seconds, or illuminates whilst d riv ing, there is a fault in the belt tensioner system or the a irb ag systems, see pag e 82. The belt tensioners or airba g systems may not be triggered if an ac cident occurs.

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 The fitting of accessories and storing of objec ts in the belt tensioner operating area are not permitted because of the risk of injury w hen the b elt tensioners are 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 directives must a lways be observed when disposing of the vehic le. For this reason, disposal 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!

74

Using the belts Fitting the b el t Pull the belt out of the retractor and guide it across the body, making certain that it is not twisted.

Insert latch plate into the buckle. Ba ckrest must not be tilted too far back , sinc e this would affect the opera tion of the seat belts; recommended tilting a ng le approx. 25°. The lap belt m ust be straight and lie snugly against the body. Tighten belt at frequent intervals whilst driv ing 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 entof front seat belt upper a nchorage points:

1. Do not adjust whilst driving.

2. Pull b elt out slig htly.

3. Press b elt guide or, in5-door hatch, push button down.

4. Set desired height.

5. Allow to loc k audibly into p osition.

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 71, fig ure 11815 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.

75

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

Lap belt 3 In centre of rear seat: to adjust the length, press the top of the la tch plate.

Three-point seat bel t 3 on centre rea r sea t The belt can only be pulled out of the retractor if the ba ck seat rests are engaged in their retainers, see pa ge 61.

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.

76

Vauxhall Full Size airbag system The Vauxhall Full Size airbag system comprises several individual systems.

Front airb ag system The front airbag system will be triggered in the event of a serious ac cident involving a frontal impact and forms safety cushions for the driver and front passenger 3. The forward movement of the driver and front passenger is checked and the risk of injuries to the upper body a nd head thereby substantially reduced.

Side airb ag system 3 The side a irb ag system is triggered in the event of side-on collisions and forms safety cushions for the driver and front passenger in the respective front door area. The risk of injury to the upper body in the event of a side impac t is thereby substantially reduced.

Head airbag system 3 The head airbag system is triggered in the event of side-on collisions and forms a safety cushion in the head area on the side of the vehicle affected. The risk of injury to the head in the event of a side impact is thereby substantially reduced.

77

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 lamp.

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 hea d airbag system 3.

Exception: Front p assenger’s seat with seat occupancy recognition system 3. The seat occupancy recognition system dea ctivates the passenger’s front a nd side airbag s if the passenger seat is unoccupied or a Vauxhall child restraint system with transponders 3 has been fitted to the passenger’s seat. Seat occupancy recognition, see pag e 82. Vauxhall child restraint system w ith transponders 3, see pag e 92.

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.

6

78

When trigg ered , the front airbags inflate in milliseconds and form a safety cushion for driver and front passeng er. The forw ard movement of the driver and front passenger is checked and the risk of injuries to the upper body a nd head thereby substantially reduced.

No im pairment of view will occur, because the a irb ags inflate and deflate so quickly .

The front airbag system will not be triggered in the event of z the ignition being switched off,z minor frontal collisions, z accidents in which the vehicle overturns, z collisions involving a sid e or rear impac t where it would not be of benefit to the occupants.

The front airbag system provides optimum p rotection when the seat, back rest and head restra int are correctly adjusted: Adjust the driver's seat according to the occupant's height such that with the driver sitting upright the steering wheel is held in the a rea of its upper sp okes with the d river's arms slightly bent. The passenger’s seat should b e as far b ack as possible, w ith the backrest upright (see pages 5, 56). 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 – page 84.

The three-point seat belt must be correctly fitted – see page 74.

79

In addition, the front airb ag system will not be triggered for the front passeng er in ver-sions with seat occ upa ncy recognition 3 if

z the front pa ssenger'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 82. Vauxhall child restraint system with transponders 3 – see page 92.

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 infla tor in the back of the driver's a nd front passenger’s seat respectively ,

z the control electronics,

z the side impact sensors,

z the airbag systems c ontrol indicator v in the instrum ent 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 lamp.

The side airbag system will be triggered:

z depending on the severity of the accident,

z depending on the type of im pact,

z within the range shown in the illustration on the centre door pillar of the driver's or front passenger’s door,

z ind epend ently of the front airbag system.

Except ion: Passeng er’s seat w ith seat occupancy recognition system 3. The seat occupancy recognition system dea ctivates the passenger’s front a nd side airbag s if the passenger’s seat is unoccupied or a Vauxhall child restraint system with transponders 3 has been fitted to the passenger’s seat. Seat occupancy recognition - see pag e 82. Vauxhall child restraint system with tra nsponders 3 - see pag e 92.

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.

80

When triggered, the sid e airbag inflates in milliseconds to form a safety cushion for the d river or front passenger in the respective door area. This substantially red uces the risk of injury to the upper body in the event of a sid e-on collision.

The side airba gs will not be triggered in the event of

z the ig nition being sw itched 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 82. Va uxha ll c hild restraint system with transp onders 3 – see p age 92.

Head airbag 3 The head airba g system is identified by the word A IRBAG on the roof pillar trim.

The head a irba g system c om prises:

z an airbag w ith inflator in the roof frame on the driver's and front passenger 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 – pag e 84.

The three-p oint seat b elt m ust always b e correctly fitted – see page 74.

81

The head airbag system will b e triggered:

z depending on the severity of the accident

z depending on the typ e of impa ct

z within the range shown in the illustration on the centre d oor pillar of the driver's or front passenger door

z together with the side airbag system

z independently of the front airbag system .

When triggered, the head airbag inflates in millisecond s to form a safety cushion in the head a rea 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 head a irba gs will not be triggered in the event of

z the ignition being 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 – page 84.

The three-point seat belt must always be correctly fitted – see pag e 74.

82

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, if it does not go out after 4 seconds or if it lights up while driving, there is a fault in the a irb ag systems, sea t occupancy recognition 3 or the belt tensioners – see page 73. The systems m ay fail to trigg er in an accid ent.

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’s seat is unoccupied or an Vauxhall child restraint system with transponders 3 has been fitted to the front passenger’s seat. The head airbag system remains activated.

The control indica tor for sea t occupancy recognition is located in the courtesy lamp. 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. 12135 S on page 83.

If an Vauxhall child restraint system with 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’s seat. When these child restraint systems are being used on the front passeng er’s seat, the front and sid e airbag systems for the front passenger’s seat are deactivated. The head airbag system rem ains activated. Pay attention to the seat occupancy recognition 3 control indicator – see p age 83.

Have the cause of the fa ult remedied. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised R epairer.

83

Vauxhall child restraint systems with transponders 3 are identified by a sticker.

Control indica tor y for Vauxha llchild rest raint systems w ith tra nspond ers 3 The p resence of a Vauxhall child restraint system w ith transponders 3 is indicated after the ignition has been switched on by permanent illumination of the control indicator y in the courtesy lamp, as soon as the seat occupancy recognition system has detected the child restraint system.

If the control indicator is not illuminated whilst driving, the front and sid e airba g ha ve not been d eactiva ted on the passenger side. Risk of fatal injury to the child – fit child restraint system to rear seat. Have cause of fault rem edied. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

If the child restraint system is not fitted correctly or the transponders are faulty, the control indic ator flashes. Check that the child restraint system is fitted correctly. Fitting child restraint system w ith tra nsponders 3 – pages 92 to 93.

If the control indicator d oes not illuminate with a correctly installed c hild restraint system there is a fa ult – risk of fatal injury to the child . Fit child restraint system to rear seat. H ave cause of fault remedied. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

If no Vauxhall child restraint system w ith transponders 3 is installed the c ontrol indicator must neither illuminate nor flash, since the passenger side airbag systems would not be trig gered. Have the cause of fault rem edied. We recomm end that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Only Vauxhall child restraint systems with transp onders 3 can be fitted on the front passenger’s sea t; the use of system s without transp onders poses a danger to life.

If the Vauxhall child restraint systemwith tra nsponders 3 ha s b een fitted according to the instructions, the control ind ic ator for Vauxhall restraint systems with tra nsponders must light up in the courtesy lamp when the ig nition is switched on.

If the control indicator does not illuminate whilst driv ing , the airb ag systems ha ve not b een deactivated on the passenger side. Risk of fatal injury .

Aspherical exterior m irror 3 Increa ses the field of v ision. S lig ht distortion means that it is somewhat difficult to estimate the distance b etween the vehicle and those behind it.

Head restraintsDo not a tta ch objects or components that are not app roved for your Corsa to the head restraints, since they can reduce the protection prov ided b y the head restraints and could be catapulted uncontrollably through the vehicle in the event of hard braking or an acc id ent.

Active front seat head rest raints 3 In the event of a rear-end impact, the active head restraints on the front seats autom atic ally tilt forwards. The head is more effectively supported by the head restra int and the da nger of hyperextension in the area of the cervical verteb ra is reduced.

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.

DisplayThe d isplay in the tachometer ind icates the currently engag ed gear or current mode.

Selector level positionsSelec tor lever in N Neutral.

The engine can only be started with the lever in position N and with the foot brake pressed down. The display shows "N". If the foot brake is not pressed, "N" flashes on the display .

Selector lever in mid positionWhen the selec tor lever is moved from N to the mid position w ith the foot brake pressed down, Easytronic is in Automatic mode and first gear is engaged. The display shows "A". When the foot brake is released the vehicle begins to "creep". If the foot brake is not pressed, "A" fla shes on the display . Press the a ccelerator pedal directly to drive away or return the selector lever to N and repeat the process with the foot brake pressed.

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.

157

In Manua l mode the g ears ca n be changed manually. The display shows the currently enga ged 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 repeated ly at short intervals.

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

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

Kickdown When the accelerator pedal is depressed beyond its resistance p oint below certain speeds, the transmission shifts down into a low er gear. Full use is made of the engine power for acceleration.

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 frommotorAutom atic modeWhen driving downhill the Easytronic d oes not shift into the higher gea rs until a fairly high engine speed has been reac hed. During braking the Easytronic shifts down to a low er gear in good time.

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

159

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 when the driver's door is opened (foot brake not dep ressed), move the selector lever to N and apply the hand brake.

When stopping on gradients engage hand brake or depress brake ped al. To prevent overheating of the clutch, d o not increase engine revolutions to ensure smooth idling when in g ear.

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

Parking the vehicleBefore 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.

160

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.

To protect the Ea sytronic from da mage, the Easytronic autom atically deactivates the "creeping" function a t very high clutc h tem peratures.

FaultIf a fault occurs in the Easytronic, the control indicator A lights up. In the case of serious faults, an "F" add itionally appea rs on the display.

It is possible to continue driving if only control indicator A lights up. Manua l mode can then no longer be selected.

If an "F" is add itionally shown on the 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.

Interruption of power supplyThe clutch is not disengaged if the vehicle battery is d ischarged and a gea r has been selected. The vehicle c annot m ove.

If the battery is fla t, sta rt the vehicle using jump leads, see page 198.

161

If the c ause of the interruption to the p ow er sup ply is not the discharged battery , consult a workshop. We rec om mend consulting your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. If the vehicle has to be rem oved from moving traffic, relea se clutch as follow s:

1. Ap ply hand brake and switch off ig nition.

2. Open bonnet and engage support.

3. C lean Easytronic around bearing cover (see illustration) so that no dirt can g et into opening when cover is removed .

4. Rotate bearing c over to slacken and rem ove by lifting upwards, see illustration.

5. Turn the adjusting screw beneath the bearing cover using a Philips screwdriver until clear resistance can be felt. The clutch has now been disengaged.

Do not turn beyond the resista nce, since this can damag e the Easytronic.

6. Refit cleaned bearing cover. Bearing cover must sit flush on casing.

Towing the vehic le and starting the eng ine is not perm itted when the clutch has been released in this way, although the vehicle can b e m oved a short distance.

Contact a workshop immediately. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer.

Automatic transmission

After sta rting the engine and before shifting into a gea r, depress the brake pedal, If the brakes are released w hen a gear is engaged , the vehicle will "creep". Never ac tuate accelerator and b rake pedals simultaneously .

Once D has been selected, the economy driving p rogra mme is operative. Position D is g enerally ideal for d riv ing.

If the accelerator peda l is depressed gently and evenly the transmission w ill shift into the fuel-saving gears at an early stage. The drive ra nge needs be changed manually only in exceptional c ases. Select 3, 2 a nd 1 only when automatic shifting up is to be avoided or if additional use is to be made of the engine braking effect.

Select D ag ain as soon as driving conditions perm it.

DisplayThe display in the tachometer indicates the current selector lever setting.

Failure to follow the description can lead to injuries or endanger life.

163

Selector lever in P, R and N P Park. Front wheels locked.

To be selec ted only w ith vehiclestationary and hand brake on.

R Reverse. Only engage whenvehic le stationa ry .

N Neutra l.

The selector lever can only be moved from the P position with the ignition switched on and the foot brake operated (selec tor lever lock).

The engine can only be started with lever in position P or N. When position N is selected, press foot brake or engage hand brake before starting.

Do not a ccelerate d uring the selection proc edure.

Drive ranges D, 3, 2, 1 D Position for normal driving conditions

in first to fourth gear.

3 Drive position for driving conditions in first, second and third gears.

2 Drive position in first and second gear,e.g. on w inding m ountain roads;the tra nsmission does not shift intothird and fourth gear.

1 Position for max imum braking effect,e.g. when driving down severegradients;the tra nsmission does not shiftbeyond first gear.

After the engine has been started and D selected, the economy driving programme is always operative.

164

Electronically controlled driving programmes z Sporty programm e: tra nsmission shifts

at high engine speeds:Ta p button S (1 lights up ).

z Economy p rogram me: transmission shifts a t lower engine speeds: Ta p button S again.

z Winter p rogram me: Press button T, see next pa ge.

z Automatic neutral shift function automatically sets the transmission to N to reduc e fuel consumption, e.g. at traffic lights.

The automa tic neutral shift isactiva ted if:– selector lever is in D, 3, 2 or 1

and– the foot brake is operated

and– the vehicle is stationary

and– the accelerator is not being op erated .

As soon as the brake is released and the accelerator pedal is depressed, the vehicle starts off in the usual m anner.

z By mea ns of delayed gear changing (higher eng ine speeds) following a cold start, the operating tem perature programm e quickly and automatically brings the ca ta lytic converter to the temperature required for op tim um pollutant reduction.

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 sta rting-off difficulties on slippery roads press button T , which can b e operated in P, R, N, D and 3 (T illuminates). The vehicle sta rts off in third gear.

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

The winter programme automatically switches off at 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.

165

Kickdown When the accelerator peda l is depressed beyond its resistance point below certain speeds, the tra nsmission shifts d ow n into a lower gear. Full use is mad e of the engine power for acceleration.

Engine braking assistance In order to utiliz e the eng ine braking effect when d riv ing downhill, select drive 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.

166

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.

FaultControl indica tor A illuminates when the ignition is switched on. If it does not go off after starting or comes on whilst driving, there is a fa ult in the automatic tra nsmission or the 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 = 4th gear D = 4th gear N = Neutral position R = Reverse g ear P = Park position

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

167

Interruption of power supplyIf 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 page 198.

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

1. Ap ply hand brake.

2. Disenga ge c over from centre console and rota te it clockwise through 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.

168

Driving hints The first 600 m iles/1000km Drive your vehicle at various speed s. Do not use full throttle. Never allow the engine to labour at low revs.

Make good use of all gears. Depress the accelerator ped al a ma ximum of around three quarters of the available p edal travel in all gea rs.

Do not d rive faster than three quarters of maximum speed .

Do not b rake unnec essarily ha rd for the first 125 miles (200 km).

The inform ation c oncerns the engine and parts of the power train, e.g . the final drive.

Never coast with engine not running Many units will then not function (e.g. turn signal lam ps, brake servo unit, power steering 3, airbag system s). Driving in this manner is a d anger to yourself a nd others.

Brake servo unit With the engine not running the brake servo unit is no longer effective once the brake peda l has been depressed once or twice. The braking effect is not red uced but substantia lly grea ter foot pressure is necessary to stop the vehicle.

Power steering 3 If the power-assisted steering fails, e.g. when being towed with the engine switched off, the vehic le can still be steered, but considerably m ore force is required.

Driving in mountainous terrain or with a trailer/caravan 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.

Diesel engines: On gradients of 10 % or more, do not drive faster than 20 mph (30 km/h) in first gear or 30 mph (50 km /h) in second g ear.

Driving with a roof load Do not exceed permitted roof load , see pag e 255. For safety reasons, distribute load evenly and tie down securely using straps to prevent slip ping. Adjust ty re pressure to value specified for full loads. Do not drive faster than 75 m ph (120 km/h). Check straps at freq uent intervals and re-tighten.

169

Switching off the engine When you switch off, fans in the engine compartment may continue running for a time to cool the engine.

If the engine temperature is very high, e.g. after driv ing in mountainous terrain: allow the engine to idle for approxim ately tw o minutes in order to prevent heat accumulation.

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 3 The fuel supply is autom atically shut off during overrun, e.g. when the vehicle is being driven down long gradients or when braking. To enable the overrun cut-off to take effect, do not acc elerate during overrun and, if in manual transm ission mode, do not 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.

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.

Following a cold start, automa tic tra nsmissions do not shift into the higher gears until a fairly high eng ine speed has been reached. This ensures that the catalytic converter quickly attains the temperature required for optimum pollutant reduction.

Correct gear 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.

170

Saving Fuel

Energy-conscious driving z High fuel consumption is often a result of

failing to d rive in an energy-conscious manner.

z You should therefore drive with energy in mind – "more m iles with less fuel".

Fuel consump tion depends to a great extent on your own personal driving style. The following hints are intended to help you consum e fuel at a rate tha t is a s close as possible to the specified levels; see page 251.

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

Warming up z Driving at full throttle or idling while the

eng ine is still cold inc reases engine w ear and fuel consumption.

z Drive off immediately after starting. Warm up the engine by running it at moderate engine speeds.

Uniform speed z Hectic driving significantly increases fuel

consump tion.

z Do not accelerate and brake unnecessarily.

Drive as often as possible in top gear.

The vehicle can often be driven in 4th or 5th gear from a speed of30 mph (50 km/h) in urban traffic.

In fourth gear fuel consumption in the 30 to 50 mp h (50 to 80 km/h) range is around 25 % low er than in third gear.

In the 44 to 55 mph (70 to 90 km /h) range, fuel consum ption in fifth gear is roughly 15 % lower than in four gea r.

Select the next higher gear as soon as possible, and only change d ow n when the engine is no longer running perfectly smoothly .

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 approx im ately 0.62 miles (1 km)of driving.

Overrun 3 z The fuel supply is automatically cut off

during overrun, e.g. when the vehicle is being d riven down long grad ients or when braking, see page 169.

z To enable the overrun cut-off to take effect and sa ve fuel, during overrun do not accelerate a nd if in manual tra nsmission mode do not declutch.

Correct gear se lection z High revs increa se engine wear and fuel

consumption.

z Do not race your engine. Avoid driving at hig h engine speeds.

Making use of the tachometer helps to save fuel. Drive in a low eng ine speed rang e for each gea r as much as possible with uniform engine speeds.

171

Urban traffic z Freq uent sta rting a nd stopping – for

exam ple a t traffic lig hts, in stop-start traffic or traffic queues – greatly increases average fuel consumption.

z Plan carefully to avoid traffic c ongestion.

Good anticip ation a voids unnec essary stopping.

If possible, selec t roa ds with a good traffic flow.

By keeping a safe distance from the vehicle in front a nd by not la ne-hopping you will be able to avoid frequent braking and acceleration, whic h uses up a lot of fuel.

High speed z The higher the speed , the higher the

consumption. At top speed, you consume a great dea l of fuel.

z Slightly releasing the accelerator pedal results in distinct fuel sa ving s w ith no major loss of speed.

Drive at no m ore than around three qua rters of m aximum speed and you will use up to 50 % less fuel, w ithout losing a great deal of time.

Tyre inflation 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 loads z The power consum ption of electrical

equip ment increa ses fuel consumption.

z Sw itch off additional consumers (e.g. air conditioning 3, hea ted rear window, hea ted seats 3) if they are not req uired.

Automatic transmiss ion, Easytronicz Full throttle, kickdown, the sporty d riv ing

programm e and unnec essary manual changing of drive ranges all severely increase fuel consump tion.

z Driving can a lmost a lw ays be maintained when in D. If the acc elerator pedal is dep ressed g ently and evenly the transm ission will shift into the fuel-sa ving gears at an early stage.

Loadingz Unnecessary weight increa ses fuel

consump tion, especially when accelerating (urban traffic). A load of 100 kg can increase fuel consum ption in urban traffic by up to 1.75 gal.1000 miles (0.5 l/100 km).

z Reduce the loads you carry.

Roof racks, ski-holders z Roof ra cks and ski-holders can increase

fuel consumption by approx. 3.5 gal./1000 miles (1 l/100 km)due to the increased air resistance.

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.

z We recom mend that repair and maintenance be entrusted to your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Extreme driving conditionsz Driv ing up steep gradients, driv ing on

poor roads, cornering, pulling a caravan/tra iler or winter driv ing all increase fuel consumption.

Fuel consumption increa ses dramatically in urba n tra ffic a nd at winter temperatures, especially on short trip s when the engine operating tempera ture is not reached.

z Follow the hints given above to keep consumption to a m inimum under suc h cond itions.

172

Environmental Protection

Trend-setting technology When 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.

Production wa stes a re recycled, with materials being recovered for re-use. Reduction of water requirements also helps to conserve natural resources.

A highly advanced design m eans that your vehicle can be ea sily disassemb led at the end of its working life, and the indiv id ua l materials sep arated for subsequent re-use.

Materials such as a sbestos and ca dmium are not used.

New painting techniques employ wa ter as a solvent.

The pollutants contained in exhaust gas are reduced.

As a Vauxhall driver, you can make a major contribution to protecting the environment:

z Sa ve fuel when driving. The previous section gives you many valuable hints.

z Be conscious of the env ironment when driving. The follow ing section gives you some further valua ble hints in this reg ard.

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.com.

Environm ent-conscious driving z High noise levels and exhaust emissions

are often a result of driving without due attention to the env ironment.

z Reduce the noise level and exhaust emissions by adopting an env ironment-conscious d riv ing sty le. This is extremely worthwhile and improves the quality of life.

"Jac krabbit" starts, i.e. screeching the tyres and revving the engine, can increase the noise level up to four times over.

Select the next higher gear as soon as possible. A vehic le travelling at 30 mph (50 km /h) in second gear causes just as much noise as three vehicles d riven at 30 mp h (50 km/h) in fourth gear.

Warming up z Driv ing at full throttle or warming up a t

idle speed increases fuel consump tion, increases the a mount of emission and the proportion of pollutant in the exhaust, and a lso generates noise.

z Drive off imm ediately after starting. Engine speed should be moderate until the eng ine has reached opera ting temperature.

173

Uniform speed z Hectic d riv ing significantly increases the

noise level, the q ua ntity of exhaust emissions and the prop ortion of pollutant in the exhaust.

z Do not a ccelerate and brake unnecessarily. Drive at uniform speed.

Driv ing a t top g ear as much as possible, driv ing in 4th or 5th gear from a speed of 30 mph (50 km/h) in urba n tra ffic, shifting up as soon as possible and not shifting down until the engine is no longer running regula rly considerably reduces the amount of noise pollution.

Urban traffic z Freq uent driving off and stopping – for

exam ple a t traffic lig hts – greatly increases the noise level.

z Avoid unnecessa ry stop s b y always anticipa ting the driving conditions ahead.

If possible, selec t roa ds with a good traffic flow.

Keep a safe dista nce from the vehicle in front and avoid unnecessary brak ing and acceleration.

Drive considerately, esp ecially in resid ential areas and particularly at night.

High speed z Driving at full throttle generates

excessive noise and em ission. Tyre and wind noise also increases considerably as the speed increases. Tyre noise determines the overall vehicle noise level in the highest g ear from speeds of 45 mph (70 km/h). A vehicle driving at 90 mph (150 km /h) generates as much noise as four vehicles d riv ing at 60 mph (100 km /h)or ten driving a t 45 mph (70 km/h).

z Avoid travelling at high speeds by carefully planning your journeys.

Doors z Slam ming doors create noise.

z Close doors quietly . Be considerate, especially in residential areas and particularly a t nig ht.

The first 600 miles/1000 km z Technically incorrect and uneconomical

driving will impa ir the performa nce of your vehicle and shorten its service life.

z Drive your vehicle sm oothly, making good use of the gears as speeds c hange. Depress the accelerator peda l a maxim um of around three q uarters of the a vailable pedal travel. Do not use full throttle,

Do not drive faster than three quarters of maxim um sp eed,

Never a llow the engine to labour at low revs.

Further information, see page 168.

Repair and maintenance z Never ca rry out any repairs or

adjustment and maintena nce work 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.

174

Fuel consumption,Fuel, Refuelling

Fuel consumptionFuel consump tion is determined und er specific d riv ing cond itions, see page 251.

Fitting special equipm ent will increase the weight of the vehicle. This in turn increases fuel consum ption and reduces the specified maximum speed of the vehicle.

There is increased friction betw een engine and transmission parts during the first600 miles (1000 km) . This increases fuel consump tion.

Fuel for petrol engines Commercially available high-quality fuels are suitable (ca talytic converter, see page 176, octane numb ers – see pages 248, 249). 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 pa ges 248, 249.

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 insufficient at low temperatures, as a result of crystallized paraffins.

Diesel fuels with improved low-temperature properties a re therefore available on the market during the winter m onths. 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.

175

Refuelling

Fuel filler neck at right rear side of vehicle.

In vehicles with central locking 3 the fuel tank cover is unlocked at the same time a s the doors, see page 46.

To op en the fuel filler cap, unlock using ignition key 3 and unscrew anti-c lockwise.

Hook fuel filler c ap on tank flap.

The right-ha nd sliding d oor of the Combo cannot be fully opened when the fuel tank cover is open in ord er to prevent d amage from occurring.

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

Correct filling depends to a large extent on proper operation of the fuel disp ensing pump:

1. Fully insert the pump nozz le and switch it on.

2. After the automatic cut-off, app rox . two more litres c an be topp ed up in stages.

To close, put on fuel filler cap and rotate clockw ise until cap clicks over reta iner click three times. Lock fuel filler cap using ignition key 3.

Wipe off a ny overflowing fuel immediately .

Care must be taken when handling fuel.

Before refuelling , switch off engine a nd any external hea ters with combustion cha mbers before refuelling. Switch mobile phones off.

Petrol is flam mable and explosive. Please therefore avoid na ked fla mes and sp arks when handling fuel, even when you are in the v icinity of fuel. Do not smoke! This also applies in 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.

176

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 174 (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, we recommend your Va uxha ll Authorised Repairer, as quickly as possib le in the event of misfiring, irregula r engine running following a cold start, a significant loss of engine power or other unusual malfunctions which may indicate a fault in the ignition system. If necessary, driving may be continued for a short time at a low speed a nd with a low engine speed.

Irregular engine running a nd a d ecrease in engine power when the Traction Control system 3 com es into action are norma l and therefore of no significance, see page 180.

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 frequent cold-starts, unnecessarily long use of the starter when setting off, running the tank dry (an irreg ular fuel supp ly lea ds to overhea ting) and starting the engine by pushing or towing.

1) LRP = Lead Replacem ent Petro l.

177

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 indicator Z, see pa ge 178.

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, we recomm end your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, as quickly as possible in the event of irregular engine running, a significa nt loss of engine 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.

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.

178

Control indica tor Z for exhaust emissionLights up when ignition is switched on a nd rem ains illuminated during starting. Goes out shortly a fter engine starts.

An illumina ting indica tor with the engine running is an indication of a fault in the emission control system. The permitted emission values may be exceeded. Contact a w orkshop imm ediately. We recomm end that you consult 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 your Va uxha ll Authorised Repairer.

Control indic ator A for eng ine electronics Lights up for a few second s when ignition is switched on.

If the lamp com es on when the engine is running, there is a fault in the engine or transmission electronics. The electronics switch to limp-home mode, fuel consum ption m ay increase and the driveability of the vehicle may be affected . In some cases the fault can be eliminated by sw itc hing the engine off and back on aga in. If the c ontrol indicator again lights up when the engine is running, c onsult a workshop to have the cause of the fault elimina ted. We rec om mend your Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer.

179

If it lights up briefly and then goes out again this is of no significance.

If it flashes w hen the ignition is on there is a fault in the imm obiliz er system, see page 43.

Exhaust gases –avoid inhaling!

When the vehicle is driven for the first tim e, wax a nd oil on the exhaust system may evap orate, producing smoke-like emissions. Allow wax and oil to evaporate while the vehicle is in op en air. Avoid inhaling.

MaintenanceHave all m aintenance work carried out at the interva ls specified by Vauxhall. We rec om mend that you entrust this work to your Vauxhall Authorised R epairer, who has proper equipm ent and trained personnel available. Electronic testing systems permit rapid diag nosis and remedy of faults. This way you can be certain that all components of the vehicle’s electrical, injection and ignition systems op erate correctly, that your vehicle has a low level of polluta nt emission and tha t the catalytic converter system will have a long serv ice life.

You are thereby making an im portant contribution towards keeping the air clean and comp lia nce with em issions 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 can b e fatal if inhaled.

If exhaust fumes penetrate the vehicle interior, open the windows and consult a workshop immediately . We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

180

Drive Control Systems

Traction Control system (TC) 3 The TC (Traction Control system ) 3 prevents the driving w heels from spinning, irrespec tive of the roa d condition a nd tyre grip.

The system monitors the rotational speed of all wheels. As soon as at least one driving wheel starts to spin, the eng ine output is reduced (the sound of the engine changes) a nd the spinning wheel is braked. This im proves the vehicle's directional control and driving power, particularly on snow and ice as well a s on wet or slippery roads.

The TC is ready for operation as soon as the ignition is switched on and the control indica tor v goes out.

Cruise control 3 The cruise control makes it possible to store and m aintain a ny sp eed from approx. 20 mph (30 km/h) to almost max imum speed.

The c ruise c ontrol is operated with the buttons I , R and O on the turn signal lever.

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.

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

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 dec elera tes. To continue driving, depress the accelerator pedal in the usual way.

The cruise control will a lso be switched off when:

z the vehicle's sp eed 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.

182

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

To improve effectiveness, do not brake unnec essarily ha rd for the first 125 miles (200 km) after new brake p ads ha ve been fitted.

Brake pad wear must not exceed a specified lim it. Reg ular maintenance as detailed in the Service Booklet is therefore of the utmost im porta nce for traffic sa fety.

Have worn brake pads replaced. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who will fit pads that ha ve b een tested a nd approved by Vauxhall and guarantee optimum braking power.

Worn brake pad s c ause grinding noise. Vehicle can c ontinue to b e driven. Ha ve brake pads repla ced as soon as possible. We rec om mend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Foot bra ke The foot brake comprises two independent brake circuits.

If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can still be braked using the other brake circuit. However, in this ca se the b ra king effect does not occur until the peda l is dep ressed a long way. Considerable force must also be used. The distance required for braking will be greater. Consult a workshop before continuing your journey . We recommend your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

To ensure the full peda l travel can be utilized, especially in case of a fault in one of the b ra ke circuits, there m ust be no ma ts in the vicinity of the p edals, see pag e 168.

183

When the engine is stopped, servo assistance will cease after the brake peda l has been depressed once or twice. The braking a ction w ill not b e reduced but increased foot pressure will be necessary. Take extra care when the vehicle is being towed .

Check the b rake la mps before starting out on a journey.

Shortly after starting each journey the effectiveness of the b ra ke system should be tested at low speed and without inconveniencing other tra ffic, especia lly if the b ra kes are wet, e.g. after the vehicle has been washed.

The b ra ke fluid level should be checked reg ularly . If the brake fluid level is too low and the hand brake is not applied, control indicator R on the instrum ent panel lights up – see page 29.

Hand bra keAlw ays a pply hand brake firmly. On slopes apply the hand brake a s firmly as p ossible.

The mechanic al hand brake acts on the brakes on the rear wheels. It engages autom atic ally when applied.

To release the hand brake pull the lever up slightly, press the ratchet knob , and fully low er the lever.

Brake system control indicator RControl indica tor comes on w hen ignition is switched on, if ha nd brake is applied and/or if brake or clutch fluid level is too low, see pag e 234.

If it lig hts up when the hand brake is not applied : stop the vehicle; interrup t your journey immediately . Consult a workshop. We rec om mend your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

184

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

It starts to regulate the braking p ressure as soon as a w heel shows a tendency to lock. The vehicle remains steera ble, even in the event of very heavy braking, for instance on bends or when sw erving to avoid an obstacle. Even in the ca se of full-on braking, the ABS makes it p ossible to drive round an obsta cle without releasing the brakes.

The ABS control can b e detected by the pulsing of the brake peda l and a controlling sound; adapt speed to road surface cond itions.

To achieve optimum b ra king, keep the brake ped al fully depressed throug hout the braking proc ess, despite the fact tha t the pedal is pulsa ting. Do not reduce the pressure on the ped al.

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

Tra ffic safety can only b e ac hieved by adopting a responsible d riv ing sty le.

185

Control indica tor u for ABSIt illuminates for several seconds when the ignition is switched on and the system undergoes a self-check at the same time (may be audible). The system is ready for opera tion when the control ind icator goes off.

If the control indicator does not g o out after a few seconds, or if it lights up during driving, there is a fault in the ABS. The vehic le's brake system remains operational without AB S reg ulation.

You can continue driving, provided you drive with care and anticipation.

Have the cause of the fa ult remedied. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer. The system’s integrated self-diagnostics allows faults to be quickly remedied .

If there is a fault in the ABS, the rear wheels may tend to lock in the event of unusually heavy braking. This may cause the vehicle to swerve. The benefits of the ABS are lost.

186

Wheels, Tyres Tyres See pag e 262 for suitable ty res and restrictions.

Tyres fitted in the factory are adapted to the chassis and provid e optimum driving comfort and sa fety.

Changing tyre/wheel typeBefore c hanging over to different tyres or wheels, obtain adv ic e as regards tec hnical possibilities. We recommend that you consult your Va uxha ll Authorised Repairer, who will be aware of any changes w hich may need to be mad e. If ty re siz es different from those fitted at the factory are used (including winter ty res), the elec tronic speedom eter m ay need reprogramm ing in order to ensure that the correct speed is displayed.

Fitting new tyr es Fit tyres in pa irs or in sets, which is even better. Ensure tha t tyres on one axle are z the same siz e, z the same design, z the same make, z and have the same tread pattern.

Fit directional tyres such that they roll in the direction of travel. The rolling direction is indicated by a symbol (e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall.

Tyres fitted opposing the rolling direction (such as when changing a ty re) should b e refitted as soon as possible. This is the only way to benefit fully from the d esign properties of the tyre.

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

187

Tyre inflation 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 page 262 a nd the label on the inside of the fuel tank flap. Have the label replac ed a fter changing to different tyre siz e.

Increa sed pressure resulting from tyre warm-up must not be red uced, otherw ise the p ressure may drop below the permissible minimum.

After having checked the ty re p ressures, tighten the valve caps using the valve cap key.

Incorrect infla tion pressures will imp air safety, vehicle handling, comfort and fuel economy and will increase tyre wear.

If the pressure is too low, this can result in considera ble ty re warm -up and internal damage, leading to trea d separation and even to tyre blow-out at high sp eeds.

Hidden tyre d amage is not eliminated by subsequently adjusting the inflation pressure.

Tyre condition, wheel condition Drive over edges slowly and at 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 pressure may result in tyre blow-out.

Damage may lead to tyre blow-out.

188

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.

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 tyresFor notes on fitting new tyres, see page 186.

See page 262 for restric tions.

Winter tyres (M+ S tyres) im prove safety and should therefore be fitted on all 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 w ithin the driver's fie ld of vision 31).

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.

Tyre chainsSee pag e 262 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, w ho w ill be pleased to give advice.

Wheel trims on steel wheels ma y come into contact with parts of the cha ins. In such cases, remove the wheel covers, see pag e 207.

Tyre cha ins may only be used at sp eeds up to 30 mph (50 km/h), 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.

Caravan and trailer loads1)

The p ermissible caravan/trailer loads are vehic le- and engine-dependent maxim um values w hich m ust not be exceeded . The actual c aravan/trailer load is the difference between the actual g ross weight of the carava n/trailer and the actual coupling soc ket load with the caravan/trailer coupled. When the c aravan/trailer load is being checked, therefore, only the carava n/trailer wheels – and not the jockey wheel – must be standing on the weighing appa ra tus.

The p ermissible caravan/trailer loads for your vehicle are given in the vehicle documents. Unless otherwise stated, they are valid for grad ients up to max. 12 %.

The permissible caravan/trailer load should be fully utilised only by d rivers who are adeq uately experienced in towing large or heavy caravans/trailers.

At higher altitudes engine power may be reduced affecting the vehicle's a bility to climb gradients, preventing use of the full permissib le caravan/trailer load s in mountainous territory .

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 carava n/tra iler load m ust only be used until the maximum permitted towing weight is reached . The maximum permitted towing weight is shown on the identification p late, see p age 244.

Coupling socket loadThe coupling socket load is the load exerted by the caravan/tra iler on the coupling ball. It can be varied by cha nging the weight distribution when loading the caravan/trailer.

The m aximum permissible coupling socket load (50 kg) for the towing vehicle is indicated on the towing equipment identification plate and in the vehicle documents. Alw ays aim for the maximum load, particularly in the c ase of heavy caravans/tra ilers. The coupling socket load should never fall below 25 kg.

When measuring the coupling socket load , ma ke sure that the drawbar of the loaded caravan/trailer is at the same height as it will be when the caravan/trailer is coupled with the towing vehic le loa ded. Particularly important for caravans/trailers with tandem ax les.

1) Observe nation al regulations.

196

Rear axle load during towing Hatch When the caravan/trailer is coupled and the towing vehicle fully loaded (including all occupants), the p ermissible rea r axle load (see identification plate or vehicle documents) may be exceeded by 45 kg and the p ermissible g ross vehic le weight by 15 kg. I f the permissible rear ax le load is exceeded, a maximum speed of 60 mp h (100 km/h) applies. If national regulations specify a lower maximum speed for vehic les towing a carava n/trailer, this must be observed.

Corsavan, ComboThe p ermissible ax le loads must not be exceeded.

Tyre inflation pressure Increase ty re pressure on the towing vehicle to maxim um load pressure, see pages 262, 263. Also check the pressure of the tyres on the trailer wheels and the spare wheel.

Driving characteristics, towing tips In the ca se of c aravans/trailers with brake, attach the break-away stopping ca ble to the eye (arrow in illustration).

Before coupling the trailer/caravan, lubricate the ball of the trailer/caravan towing device. However, do not do so if a stabilizer which acts on the coupling ball is being used to dam p rolling motions.

Handling is greatly influenced by the loading of the trailer/c aravan. Loads should therefore b e sec ured so that they cannot slip and be placed in the centre of the tra iler/ca ra van if possible, i.e. ab ove the axle.

197

In the case of trailers with low d riv ing stability, do not exceed a speed of 50 mph (80 km/h); the use of a fric tion-type stabiliser is recommended.

Check cara van/trailer lig hting b efore starting to drive. The fog tail lam p on the vehic le is deactivated when towing a carava n or tra iler.

Do not drive faster tha n 50 mph (80 km/h) if possible, even in c ountries where higher speeds are p ermitted .

Make sure that you have enough room when c ornering and avoid sudden manoeuvres.

If the tra iler/ca ra van starts to sway, drive more slowly, do not attem pt to correct the steering and brake sharply if necessary.

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

Since a considerable amount of heat is generated at high engine sp eed s a nd less at slower speeds, d o not shift down when climbing hills whilst the vehicle is still coping with the g ra dient in the higher gea r.

Diesel engine: On gradients of 10 % or more, do not drive fa ster tha n 20 mph 30 km /h in first gear or 30 mph (50 km/h)in second gea r; with automatic tra nsmission, do not exceed 25 mp h (40 km/h) in 1st gear.

When coup led to a caravan/tra iler the vehicle requires m ore braking effort when driving down long gradients, so select the sam e gear as you would d riv ing uphill and drive at roug hly the same speed. With autom atic transmission engage drive ra ng e 3, 2 or even 1.

Select D ag ain as soon as driving conditions perm it.

If it is necessary to apply the brakes fully, in particula r to ensure short brak ing distances when towing a trailer/caravan, depress the brake ped al as hard as possible.

Remember that the bra king dista nce for vehicles towing c aravans/trailers with and without brake is always greater tha n that for vehicles not towing a c aravan/trailer.

Starting on inclines Vehicles with m anual tra nsmission:

The most favourable eng ine speed when starting off on a n incline is between 2500 and 3000 rpm. Hold engine rpm consta nt, engage clutch gradually (let slip), release b ra ke a nd open throttle. I f possible, the engine speed should not drop during this proc edure.

On vehicles with autom atic transmission it is sufficient to open the throttle fully.

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).

198

Self-help Diesel fuel system, bleeding If the tank has become completely empty , start the eng ine for a ma ximum of approx. 40 seconds after refuelling to autom atic ally bleed the fuel system. If the engine d oes not start, repeat the proc edure after a short time.

Do not start with quick charger This prevents damag e to electronic components.

Do not start bypushing or towing Because your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter, it must not be started by pushing or tow ing.

Starting the engine with jump leads 3 A vehicle with a discha rg ed battery can be started using jump leads and the battery of another vehicle.

z Never expose the battery to naked fla mes or sparks.

z Do not allow battery fluid to come into contac t with eyes, skin, fabrics or painted surfaces. The fluid contains sulphuric acid w hich ca n cause injuries and dama ge in the event of direc t contac t.

z To lessen the risk of injury wear eye protection when working near any battery.

z Use auxiliary battery with sam e volta ge (12 volts). Its capacity (Ah) m ust not be considera bly less than that of the discharged ba ttery. Voltage and capacity information can be found on the batteries.

Disreg ard of these 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.

199

z Do not d isconnect the disc ha rg ed battery from the vehicle.

z Switch off all unnecessary electrical consumers.

z Do not lean over the battery during jump starting.

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

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

Connect the leads in the order shown in the illustration:

1. Connec t one end of the first jump lead to the positive term ina l 1 of the battery providing the jum p start (identified b y "+ " sign on battery case or terminal).

2. Connec t the other end of this lead to the positive terminal 2 of the discharged battery ("+" sig n).

3. Connec t the first end of the other jum p lead to the negative terminal 3 of the battery providing the sta rt (" -" sign).

4. Connec t the other end of the second jump lead 4 to ground on the other vehicle, e.g. engine block or screw connection in the engine suspension.

z Do not connect lead s to negative terminal of discharged battery !

z The connection point should be as far away from the discharged battery as possible.

z Route the leads so tha t they cannot catch on rotating parts in the engine compartment.

z The eng ine of the vehicle prov iding the jum p sta rt can be allowed to run d uring starting. Attempts to start the engine of the vehicle with the disc ha rg ed b attery should be made at intervals of one minute and should not la st longer tha n 15 seconds. After starting, allow both engines to idle for approx. 3 minutes w ith the leads still connected.

z In order to a void excess voltage in the electric al system, b efore removing a lead, sw itc h on a n electrica l load (e.g. light, heated rear w indow) in the vehicle receiving the jump start.

z Reverse above seq uence exac tly when removing leads.

201

Drive off slowly and avoid jerky movements. Impermissible tractive forces could dam age the vehic les.

Vehicles with automatic transmission 3 should be towed facing forwa rd s only a nd must not be towed faster than 50 mph(80 km/h)or further tha n 60 m iles (100 km ). If the tra nsmission is defective, or if the above speed or d istance is to be exceeded, the front axle must be raised off the ground .

Consult a workshop. We recommend your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer who will serve you best to get your vehicle back on the road.

If the coup ling has been manua lly uncoupled in vehicles with Easytronic 3 because of an interruption to the power sup ply, towing is not permitted – see page 160. In this case, consult a workshop as soon as possible. We recommend tha t you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Towing service Entrust your vehicle only to the towing service of your choice and obta in a n estimate on towing costs b efore emp loy ing any towing service. In this way you avoid unnec essary costs and p ossible insura nce prob lems during claim proc essing.

Towing another vehicle Attach a tow rop e 3 – or better still a tow rod 3 – to the rear towing eye on the right side of the vehicle und erbody, but never to the rear ax le.

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

More pressure is necessary to dep ress the brake pedal sinc e the brake servo unit is only operative when the engine is running .

Considerably g reater steering force is necessary since this unit is operative only when the engine is running.

Maintenance,Inspection System

In order to guarantee econom ical and safe vehicle operation and to m ainta in the value of your vehicle, it is of vital importanc e that all maintenance work is carried out at the proper intervals as specified b y Vauxhall.

The next serv ice is indicated by the serv ice interval display depending on time or kilometre/mileage intervals – whichever is reached first.

The service interval display takes no account of off-the-road periods during whic h the battery is disconnected.

The maintenance intervals specified in the Serv ic e Book let ha ve priority a nd should be ob served. Service interval display, see page 32.

In the case of vehicles driven infrequently with frequent cold sta rts or predomina ntly in urban traffic and stop-start traffic, an add itional engine oil and engine oil filter change is advisable.

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 special tools required 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 Repairer.

229

A note on safety To avoid injury from c ables conducting ignition volta ge, only carry out engine compartment checks (e.g. checking the brake fluid level or engine oil level) when the ig nition is switched off.

Never ca rry out any repairs or a djustment and maintenance work on the vehicle yourself. This especially applies to the engine, cha ssis a nd safety parts. You m ay 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 To aid identification, the engine oil filler cap , the c oolant expansion ta nk cap, the lid of the fluid container for the wind screen wash system, headlam p wash system 3 and the handle of the oil dipstic k are coloured yellow.

Engine oil The oils listed on pa ge 246 are particula rly suita ble for this engine.

These hig h-quality oils are suitab le for summer and winter operation.

Com mercially availab le quality brand-name oils with the relevant quality and viscosity class ca n b e used. Instructions on pag e 246 must be followed.

The ACEA categories m ay be taken as a quality criterion.

In the case of b ra nd oils the m anufacturers are responsible for ensuring that the oils they supp ly are suitable for Va uxha ll vehicles.

The cooling fan is controlled by a thermo-switch a nd can therefore start unexpectedly even if the ignition is switched off. Risk of injury.

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

230

Eng ine oi l level and consum ption All engines c onsume oil for technica l rea sons. The engine oil consump tion ca n only be assessed after d riv ing a long distance, and may be above the specified value during the initial stage (run-in period). Frequent driving a t hig h revs causes oil consumption to increa se.

For this rea son the engine oil level should be checked every 600 m iles (1.000 km) or before sta rting a long trip.

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 check the level, remove the oil gauge (dipstick), wipe it clean and reinsert it as far as it will go. Top up if the oil level has dropped to just above the "a dd oil" ma rk MIN .

The oil level must not go above the upper ma rk MAX on the dipstick. Excess oil must be dra ined or extracted by suction. If the oil level does go above the mark MAX there is a risk of damage to the engine or ca ta lytic converter.

The amount filled must be between the MIN and MA X marks, see page 266.

231

Pay attention to instruc tions and table on page 246.

Ca pacities – page 266.

The oil consumption will not stabilise until the vehicle has been driven several thousand miles. Only then can the ac tual ra te of consum ption b e estab lished .

Oil chang e, oi l filter cha ng e Cha nge the oil at the displayed serv ice interva ls.

We recommend that you use g enuine Vauxhall oil filters.

Used oil filters and empty oil cans do not belong in the domestic rubbish. We recommend tha t you have the oil and oil filter change carried out by your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who will be fa miliar with the requirements of the law as reg ards disposal of used oil a nd can thus help to p rotect the env ironment and your health.

232

Diesel fuel f ilterCheck the fuel filter for possible water residue at every engine oil c hange.

Disengage filter upwards and remove slig htly from the m ounting. Place a container underneath the filter housing. Loosen screw on filter cover using a commercially a vailable Torx T 30 screwdriver. Turn knurled screw on lower part of filter b y approx. one turn and drain off water.

The filter is d ra ined as soon as diesel emerges from the knurled screw at the bottom. Retighten the two screws.

Never allow the fuel filter to run dry ! A complicated procedure is necessary to bleed the fuel system after the tank has been run empty , see page 198.

General informationCheck filter at shorter intervals in the case of extreme op erating conditions such as high humidity (primarily in coastal areas), extremely high or low outside temp eratures and substantially varying daytim e and night-time tem peratures.

Coolant During operation the system is pressurised. The temperature may therefore rise briefly to over 100 °C.

The glycol-based coolant p rov id es excellent corrosion protection for the hea ting and cooling systems as well a s anti-freeze protection down to approx.–28 °C. It remains in the cooling system throug hout the yea r and need not be changed.

Certain anti-freez es can lead to eng ine dam age. Ma ke sure that you a re informed! We therefore recommend the use of anti-freezes that have been a pproved by Vauxhall.

Anti-freeze is a danger to health; it must therefore be kept in the origina l container and out of the reach of child ren.

233

Anti-fr eeze a nd corrosion protect ionHave concentration of radiator contents checked before start of winter. We recom mend tha t you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. The a mount of anti-freeze must p rov id e protection from freezing down to approx. –28 °C. Low anti-freeze concentration reduces the anti-freeze and anti-corrosion effect. Add anti-freeze if necessary.

If coolant loss is topped up with water, have concentration checked and ad d anti-freeze if necessary.

Coolant level Hardly a ny losses occur since the cooling system is sealed and it is thus rarely necessary to top up the coolant.

The coolant level in the exp ansion tank should be slightly above the KALT/COLD mark when the system is c old. It rises at engine operating tem perature and drops again when the engine cools down. If the level falls below the mark, the coolant should be topped up to a little over the mark.

Top up a nti-freeze. If no anti-freeze is available, top up with clean tap water. If tap water is unavailable, distilled water can b e used.

After topping up with tap or distilled wa ter, have the anti-freeze concentration checked , and anti-freeze added if nec essary . Have the cause of the coolant loss remedied. We recommend tha t you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

When closing , tighten coolant filler ca p as far 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 temperature ma y therefore rise to over 100 °C.

If the temp erature g auge enters the red zone, check the coolant level immediately. z Coolant level too low:

Top up coolant, chec k coolant level. Have the cause of coola nt loss remedied. We recom mend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

z Coolant level OK:Have the cause of the inc reased coolant temperature remed ied. We rec om mend tha t you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Allow engine to cool down before rem oving coolant filler cap. Remove filler cap carefully so that pressure can escap e slowly , otherw ise there is a risk of scalding.

234

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 wipersClea r vision is essential for safe driv ing.

You should therefore perform regular checks on the w indscreen wipers and headlamp wiper system 3 to make sure they are operating correctly.

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

Do not switch on the wind screen wipers 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 wipers b ecome 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 cloth and Vauxhall Winsc reen Wash Solvent.

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 wipers or a utomatic wiper system w ith rain sensor 3 in ca r washes; see pa ges 16, 240.

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.

235

In order to ensure prob lem-free wind screen wiper operation, the windscreen wa sh system m ust be opera ted a t regular intervals in vehicles with rain sensor 3. Vehicles with rain sensor 3 can b e recognised by the sensor area at 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.

236

Windscreen and headlamp wash systems 3 The reservoir for windscreen wa sh and rear windscreen wash is located in the driver’s side of the engine compartment.

In vehicles with headlamp wash system 3, the filler neck is in the engine comp artm ent behind the left headlamp – see Fig. 11756 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 headlamp wash system will not freeze in winter:

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

BatteryThe battery is m aintenance-free.

We recom mend ha ving the ba ttery chang e ca rried out by a Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer, who will be fam ilia r with the requirements of the law as regards disposa l of old batteries and can thus help to p rotect the env ironment and your health.

237

If the vehicle is not used for more than 4 weeks, the battery could becom e discharged. This could shorten the serv ice life of the battery . The battery should therefore b e disconnected from the vehicle by disc onnec ting the nega tive terminal (Va uxha ll alarm system 3 is then disabled). The rad io lock 3 must be dea ctivated; see radio operating instructions. The stored values of the trip computer 3 will be lost. Reconnect the ba ttery only with the ignition switched off. Then, reset the d ate and time in the information display a nd activate the electric wind ow s and sun roof 3.

In order to prevent the b attery from discharging , som e c onsumers suc h as the courtesy lam p 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.

The battery m ust b e disconnected from the vehicle b efore b eing charged: first disconnect the neg ative cable and then the positive cable. The polarity of the battery , i.e. the connections for the positive and neg ative cables, m ust not be interchanged. When reconnecting , first connect the positive cab le and then the neg ative cable.

To avoid damaging the vehic le, d o not ma ke a ny modifications to the electrical system, e. g. c onnec ting additional consum ers or tampering with electronic control units (chip tuning).

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

238

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 prereq uisite for w arra nty 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, dust and thawing salts, 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 wipers or automatic wiper system w ith rain sensor 3 and the rea r window wiper 3 m ust be switched off; see page 16. 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.

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.

Never let things deteriorate this far. Waxing prevents harm ful chemical action.

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.

WheelsUse a pH-neutral w heel c leaning agent to clean the wheels.

Wheels a re painted and ca n be treated with the same ag ents as the body. For alloy wheels we recomm end use of Alloy Wheel Preserver.

241

Paintwork damageRepair small area s of p aint damage suc h as stone impacts, scratches etc. immediately using a Va uxha ll touch-up applicator or Vauxhall spray. 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.

Exterior lightsHeadlamp and other protective lam p 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 For add itional cleaning of plastic and rubb er parts use C leaner. Do not use any other agent, and in particular do not use solvents or petrol.

Wheels and 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. For removal of stains use C leaner, which is suitable for both fabrics and v iny l.

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 beltsAlways keep seat b elts clean a nd dry.

C lean only with lukewarm w ater or Cleaner.

242

Windows When cleaning the heated rear window, 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 Windscreen Wash Solvent is suitab le for de-icing windows.

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 Smearing wiper blades can be c leaned with a soft c loth and Vauxhall Windscreen Wash Solvent and replaced if necessary – see p age 234.

Locks Before they leave the factory, the locks are lubricated with a hig h-grad e lock cylinder grease. Va uxha ll loc k cylinder grease prevents the locks from freezing up. Use de-icing ag ents only in emergencies, as they have a degreasing effect and will impair the functioning of the locks. After using de-icing agents re-g rease the locks.

Engine compartment Im portant a reas of the engine compa rtm ent have been provided with permanent protec tion at the fac tory in the form of a high-quality, sm ooth protective lacquer coating. Parts of the eng ine compa rtm ent lac quered in the sa me colour as the vehicle’s paintw ork can be treated in the sam e wa y as all p ainted surfaces. Wash the eng ine only if absolutely nec essary . Before washing the eng ine, protec t alternator and brake fluid container with pla stic covers.

When washing the engine with a steam -jet cleaner, do not direct the steam jet at com-ponents of the Anti-lock Brake System 3 , the automatic air conditioning system 3 or the belt d rive and its com ponents.

When the engine is wa shed , sub sequently app lied protective wax is also rem oved. After w ashing, the engine as well a s p arts of the brake system, ax le c om ponents (with steering) and body parts a nd cavities should therefore be thoroughly coa ted with Protective Wax. We recommend tha t you entrust this work to your Vauxha ll Authorised Repa irer.

243

Underbody PVC underbody protection that does not req uire special m aintenance is ap plied in the w heel arches in the factory, inc luding the longitudinal und erbody mem bers. The areas of the vehicle underbody that a re not coated with PVC are provided with a durable protective wax coating.

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 contain salt. Check protective w ax 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 closed.

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 241.

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

z Do not remove snow and ice using sharp objects.

Inform ation on ACEA oil grade cla ssific ation The Association d es Constructeurs Européens d'Autom ob iles classifies engine oils according to their perform anc e (quality).

Ea ch class is identified by letters and numbers, e.g. A3.

The letter indicates the field of application:

A = Petrol eng ines in passenger carsB = Diesel engines in passenger carsE = Diesel engines in trucks

The first num ber indicates the quality in ascending numeric al order:

Informat ion on SAE oil vi sc osityEngine a nd transmission oils are grouped in SAE classes b y the Society of Automobile Engineers b ased on their v iscosity. Viscosity is the measure of interna l friction of the oil in flux , dependent on its temperature.

The SAE classification does not provide information on the quality of the oil; it merely indicates the range of application of the oil dependent on the outside temperature – see diagram.

The first number indicates v iscosity at low temperatures (cold sta rt behaviour). The second num ber indicates visc osity a t hig h temperatures.

Do not sw itch to a different viscosity in the event of brief temp erature fluctuations.

Fuel consumption,CO2 emissions Directive 80/1268/EEC (last a mended by 1999/100/EC) has ap plied for the measurement of fuel consumption since 1996.

It is not comparab le with the previously applicab le standard acc ording to 80/1268/EEC as amended by 89/491/EEC.

The direc tive is oriented to actual driving practices: Urba n driving is rated at approx. 1/3 and off-roa d driving with approx. 2/3 (urban and extra-urban consumption). Cold sta rts a nd acceleration phases are also taken into considera tion.

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, ascertained in accordance with the said regula tion. Optional extras may result in slightly higher fuel consumption and CO2 emission levels than those quoted.

To convert l/100 km into mpg divide 282by num ber of litres/100 km.

Weights, payload and roof load The p ayload is the difference between the permitted g ross vehicle weight (see identification plate, page 244) 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 256 to 260 + ... ..... .... .. kg

z Weight of heavyaccessories from Table 2,page 261 + ... ..... .... .. kg

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

is the EC kerb w eight.

Optional equipment and accessories increase the kerb weight, which m eans that the p ayload will also change slig htly.

Note the weights given in the vehicle documents.

The combined front a nd rear a xle load must not exceed the perm itted total load. For example , if the maximum permitted front ax le load has been utilised, the rear axle must only be load ed until the permitted total load has been reached.

Hatch When 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 62 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.

See the identification plate or vehicle docum ents for permissib le ax le loads.

Corsava n, Comb oThe permissible axle loads must not be exc eeded.

See the identification plate or vehicle docum ents for permissib le ax le loads.

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.
