Beyond the warning required by

ECE R94.02, for safety reasons

never use a forward-facing child

restraint system on the passenger

seat with an active front airbag.

9 Danger

Do not use a child restraint system

on the passenger seat with active

front airbag.

Airbag deactivation 3 61.

60 Seats, restraints

Front airbag system

The front airbag system consists of

one airbag in the steering wheel and

one in the instrument panel on the

front passenger side. These can be

identified by the word AIRBAG.

Additionally there is a warning label

on the side of the instrument panel,

visible when the front passenger door

is open, or on the front passenger sun

visor.

The front airbag system is triggered in

the event of a front-end impact of a

certain severity. The ignition must be

switched on.

The inflated airbags cushion the

impact, thereby reducing the risk of

injury to the upper body and head of

the front seat occupants

considerably.

9 Warning

Optimum protection is only

provided when the seat is in the

proper position 3 46.

Keep the area in which the airbag

inflates clear of obstructions.

Fit the seat belt correctly and

engage securely. Only then the

airbag is able to protect.

Side airbag system

The side airbag system consists of an

airbag in each front seat backrest.

This can be identified by the word

AIRBAG.

The side airbag system is triggered in

the event of a side impact of a certain

severity. The ignition must be

switched on.

Seats, restraints 61

The inflated airbags cushion the

impact, thereby reducing the risk of

injury to the head and upper body in

the event of a side-on collision

considerably.

9 Warning

Keep the area in which the airbag

inflates clear of obstructions.

Note

Only use protective seat covers that

have been approved for the vehicle.

Be careful not to cover the airbags.

Airbag deactivation

The front passenger airbag system

must be deactivated if a child restraint

system is to be fitted on this seat. The

side airbags, the belt pretensioners

and all driver airbag systems will

remain active.

The front passenger airbag system

can be deactivated via a key-

operated switch on the right side of

the instrument panel.

Use the ignition key to choose the

position:

*OFF

= front passenger airbag is

deactivated and will not

inflate in the event of a

collision. Control indicator

*OFF illuminates

continuously in the centre

console. A child restraint

system can be installed in

accordance with the

chart Child restraint

installation locations

3 64. No adult person is

allowed to occupy the

front passenger seat.

VON = front passenger airbag is

active. A child restraint

system must not be

installed.

62 Seats, restraints

9 Danger

Risk of fatal injury for a child using

a child restraint system on a seat

with activated front passenger

airbag.

Risk of fatal injury for an adult

person on a seat with deactivated

front passenger airbag.

If the control indicator

V illuminates

for approx. 60 seconds after the

ignition is switched on, the front

passenger airbag system will inflate

in the event of a collision.

If both control indicators are

illuminated at the same time, there is

a system failure. The status of the

system is not discernible, therefore

no person is allowed to occupy the

front passenger seat. Contact a

workshop immediately.

Change status only when the vehicle

is stopped with the ignition off.

Status remains until the next change.

Control indicator for airbag

deactivation 3 88.

Child restraints

Child restraint systems

We recommend the following child

restraint systems which are tailored

specifically to the vehicle:

■ Group 0, Group 0+

OPEL Baby cradle, with or without

ISOFIX base, for children up to

13 kg

■ Group I

OPEL Duo, Britax Römer King, for

children from 9 kg to 18 kg

■ Group II, Group III

OPEL Kid, OPEL Kidfix, for children

from 15 kg up to 36 kg

When a child restraint system is being

used, pay attention to the following

usage and installation instructions

and also those supplied with the child

restraint system.

Always comply with local or national

regulations. In some countries, the

use of child restraint systems is

forbidden on certain seats.

Seats, restraints 63

9 Warning

When using a child restraint

system on the front passenger

seat, the airbag systems for the

front passenger seat must be

deactivated; if not, the triggering of

the airbags poses a risk of fatal

injury to the child.

This is especially the case if rear-

facing child restraint systems are

used on the front passenger seat.

Airbag deactivation 3 61.

9 Warning

When using child restraint

systems on the rear seats, ensure

that the backrests are engaged

securely in upright position.

Selecting the right system

The rear seats are the most

convenient location to fasten a child

restraint system.

Children should travel facing

rearwards in the vehicle as long as

possible. This makes sure that the

child's backbone, which is still very

weak, is under less strain in the event

of an accident.

Suitable are restraint systems that

comply with ECE 44-03 or

ECE 44-04. Check local laws and

regulations for mandatory use of child

restraint systems.

Ensure that the child restraint system

to be installed is compatible with the

vehicle type.

Ensure that the mounting location of

the child restraint system within the

vehicle is correct.

Allow children to enter and exit the

vehicle only on the side facing away

from the traffic.

When the child restraint system is not

in use, secure the seat with a seat belt

or remove it from the vehicle.

Note

Do not stick anything on the child

restraint systems and do not cover

them with any other materials.

A child restraint system which has

been subjected to stress in an

accident must be replaced.

Intelligent light ranging with

automatic high beam activation

Intelligent light ranging uses the

properties of Bi-Xenon headlights to

extend the light range of the low beam

by up to 400 metres and additionally

activates automatic high beam

without dazzling or disturbing

oncoming or preceding traffic.

High beam is deactivated and the low

beam light range is reduced to avoid

dazzling when the following

restrictions are detected by the front

camera in the windscreen:

■ a preceding vehicle is recognised,

■ an oncoming vehicle is recognised,

■ urban areas are entered,

■ it is foggy or snowy.

If there are no restrictions detected,

the system switches back to high

beam.

When the system is active, the front

camera monitors the area ahead of

the vehicle and ensures an optimum

light distribution for maximum driver

vision during almost all conditions.

Intelligent light ranging with automatic

high beam activation therefore

reduces the difference between

conventional low and high beam

without drastic changes in light-

range, distribution and intensity.

A special topographical evaluation

function detects preceding vehicles

on hills or slopes by recognising the

rear light moving ahead. The system

adjusts the height of the light range to

ensure optimum illumination on the

road ahead without dazzling.

Control of the vehicle

Never coast with engine not

running (except during

Autostop)

Many systems will not function in this

situation (e.g. brake servo unit, power

steering). Driving in this manner is a

danger to yourself and others. All

systems function during an Autostop,

but there will be a controlled reduction

in power steering assist and vehicle

speed is reduced.

Idle boost

If charging of the battery is required

due to battery condition, the power

output of the generator has to be

increased. This will be achieved by an

idle boost which may be audible. A

message appears in the Driver

Information Centre.

Pedals

To ensure the pedal travel is

uninhibited, there must be no mats in

the area of the pedals.

Steering

If power steering assist is lost

because the engine stops or due to a

system malfunction, the vehicle can

be steered but may require increased

effort.

Control indicator c 3 91.

Caution

Vehicles equipped with hydraulic

power steering:

If the steering wheel is turned until

it reaches the end of its travel, and

is held in that position for more

than 15 seconds, damage may

occur to the power steering

system and there may be loss of

power steering assist.

134 Driving and operating

Ground clearance

Due to the reduced ground clearance,

the vehicle can be damaged

depending on the vehicle loading and

appearance of the ground. Take

special care and drive slowly on steep

driveways, entry and exit of parking

garages, high kerbs and uneven

surfaces. If possible, drive diagonally

with one wheel after another when

running over kerbs or uneven

surfaces.

Starting and operating

New vehicle running-in

Do not brake unnecessarily hard for

the first few journeys.

During the first drive, smoke may

occur because of wax and oil

evaporating off the exhaust system.

Park the vehicle in the open for a

while after the first drive and avoid

inhaling the fumes.

During the running-in period fuel and

engine oil consumption may be

higher and the cleaning process of

the diesel particle filter may take

place more often. Autostop may be

inhibited to allow for charging the

vehicle battery.

The stop-start system helps to save

fuel and to reduce the exhaust

emissions. When conditions allow, it

switches off the engine as soon as the

vehicle is at a low speed or at a

standstill, e.g. at a traffic light or in a

traffic jam. It starts the engine

automatically as soon as the clutch is

depressed. A vehicle battery sensor

ensures that an Autostop is only

performed if the vehicle battery is

sufficiently charged for a restart.

Activation

The stop-start system is available as

soon as the engine is started, the

vehicle starts-off and the conditions

as stated below in this section are

fulfilled.

Deactivation

Deactivate the stop-start system

manually by pressing the eco button.

The deactivation is indicated when

the LED in the button extinguishes.

Autostop

If the vehicle is at a low speed or at a

standstill, activate an Autostop as

follows:

■ Depress the clutch pedal

■ set the lever in neutral

■ release the clutch pedal

The engine will be switched off while

the ignition stays on.

Driving and operating 137

An Autostop is indicated by the

needle at the AUTOSTOP position in

the tachometer.

During an Autostop, the heating and

brake performance will be

maintained.

Caution

The steering assist can be

reduced during an Autostop.

Conditions for an Autostop

The stop-start system checks if each

of the following conditions is fulfilled:

■ The stop-start system is not

manually deactivated

■ the bonnet is fully closed

■ the driver's door is closed or the

driver's seat belt is fastened

■ the vehicle battery is sufficiently

charged and in good condition

■ the engine is warmed up

■ the engine coolant temperature is

not too high

■ the engine exhaust temperature is

not too high, e.g. after driving with

high engine load

■ the ambient temperature is above

-5° C

■ the climate control system allows

an Autostop

■ the brake vacuum is sufficient

■ the self-cleaning function of the

diesel particle filter is not active

■ the vehicle was driven at least at

walking speed since the last

Autostop

Otherwise an Autostop will be

inhibited.

Certain settings of the climate control

system may inhibit an Autostop. See

Climate control chapter for more

details 3 126.

Immediately after motorway driving

an Autostop may be inhibited.

New vehicle running-in 3 134.

Battery discharge protection

To ensure reliable engine restarts,

several battery discharge protection

features are implemented as part of

the stop-start system.

Power saving measures

During an Autostop, several electrical

features, e.g. auxiliary electric heater

or rear window heating are disabled

or switched into a power saving

mode. The fan speed of the climate

control system is reduced to save

power.

138 Driving and operating

Control indicator - 3 89.

Restart of the engine by the

stop-start system

The selector lever has to be in neutral

to enable an automatic restart.

If one of the following conditions

occurs during an Autostop, the

engine will be restarted automatically

by the stop-start system:

■ The stop-start system is manually

deactivated

■ the bonnet is opened

■ the driver's seat belt is unfastened

and the driver's door is opened

■ the engine temperature is too low

■ the charging level of the vehicle

battery is below a defined level

■ the brake vacuum is not sufficient

■ the vehicle is driven at least at

walking speed

■ the climate control system requests

an engine start

■ the air conditioning is manually

switched on

If the bonnet is not fully closed, a

warning message is displayed in the

Driver Information Centre.

If an electrical accessory, e.g. a

portable CD player, is connected to

the power outlet, a brief power drop

during restart might be noticeable.

Parking

■ Do not park the vehicle on an easily

ignitable surface. The high

temperature of the exhaust system

could ignite the surface.

■ Always apply parking brake. Apply

manual parking brake without

pressing release button. Apply as

firmly as possible on downhill or

uphill slopes. Depress the foot

brake at the same time to reduce

Driving and operating 139

Note

In the event of an accident with

airbag deployment, the engine is

turned off automatically if the vehicle

comes to a standstill within a certain

time.

Engine exhaust

9 Danger

Engine exhaust gases contain

poisonous carbon monoxide,

which is colourless and odourless

and could be fatal if inhaled.

If exhaust gases enter the interior

of the vehicle, open the windows.

Have the cause of the fault

rectified by a workshop.

Avoid driving with an open load

compartment, otherwise exhaust

gases could enter the vehicle.

Diesel particle filter

The diesel particle filter system filters

harmful soot particles out of the

exhaust gases. The system includes

a self-cleaning function that runs

automatically during driving without

any notification. The filter is cleaned

by periodically burning off the soot

particles at high temperature. This

process takes place automatically

under set driving conditions and may

take up to 25 minutes. Typically it

needs between 7 and 12 minutes.

Autostop is not available and fuel

consumption may be higher during

this period. The emission of smells

and smoke during this process is

normal.

Under certain driving conditions, e.g.

short distances, the system cannot

clean itself automatically.

If the cleaning of the filter is required

and if previous driving conditions did

not enable automatic cleaning, it will

be indicated by control indicator %.

140 Driving and operating

Simultaneously Diesel partic. filter is

full continue driving appears in the

Driver Information Centre.

% illuminates when diesel particle

filter is full. Start cleaning process as

soon as possible.

% flashes when diesel particle filter

has reached the maximum filling

level. Start cleaning process

immediately to avoid damage to the

engine.

Cleaning process

To activate cleaning process,

continue driving, keep engine speed

above 2000 revolutions per minute.

Shift down if necessary. Diesel

particle filter cleaning is then started.

If additionally a message appears in

the Driver Information Centre that

cleaning is not possible, seek the

assistance of a workshop.

Caution

If the cleaning process is

interrupted, there is a risk of

provoking severe engine damage.

Cleaning takes place quickest at high

engine speeds and loads.

The control indicator % extinguishes

as soon as the self-cleaning

operation is complete.

Catalytic converter

The catalytic converter reduces the

amount of harmful substances in the

exhaust gases.

Caution

Fuel grades other than those listed

on pages 3 172, 3 231 could

damage the catalytic converter or

electronic components.

Unburnt petrol will overheat and

damage the catalytic converter.

Therefore avoid excessive use of

the starter, running the fuel tank

dry and starting the engine by

pushing or towing.

In the event of misfiring, uneven

engine running, a reduction in engine

performance or other unusual

problems, have the cause of the fault

rectified by a workshop as soon as

possible. In an emergency, driving

can be continued for a short period,

keeping vehicle speed and engine

speed low.

the shift is not executed. This can

cause a message in the

Driver-Info-Display.

In manual mode no automatic shifting

to a higher gear takes place at high

engine revolutions.

Electronic driving

programmes

■ Following a cold start, the operating

temperature programme increases

engine speed to quickly bring the

catalytic converter to the required

temperature.

■ The automatic neutral shift function

automatically shifts to idling when

the vehicle is stopped with a

forward gear engaged and the

brake pedal is pressed.

■ When SPORT mode is engaged,

the vehicle shifts at higher engine

speeds (unless cruise control is

on). SPORT mode 3 149.

■ Special programmes automatically

Do not grind the clutch unnecessarily.

When operating, depress the clutch

pedal completely. Do not use the

pedal as a foot rest.

Caution

It is not advisable to drive with the

hand resting on the selector lever.

Brakes

The brake system comprises two

independent brake circuits.

If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can

still be braked using the other brake

circuit. However, braking effect is

achieved only when the brake pedal

is depressed firmly. Considerably

more force is needed for this. The

braking distance is extended. Seek

the assistance of a workshop before

continuing your journey.

When the engine is not running, the

support of the brake servo unit

disappears once the brake pedal has

been depressed once or twice.

Braking effect is not reduced, but

braking requires significantly greater

force. It is especially important to bear

this in mind when being towed.

Control indicator R 3 89.

Antilock brake system

Antilock brake system (ABS)

prevents the wheels from locking.

Driving and operating 145

ABS starts to regulate brake pressure

as soon as a wheel shows a tendency

to lock. The vehicle remains

steerable, even during hard braking.

ABS control is made apparent

through a pulse in the brake pedal

and the noise of the regulation

process.

For optimum braking, keep the brake

pedal fully depressed throughout the

braking process, despite the fact that

the pedal is pulsating. Do not reduce

the pressure on the pedal.

After starting off the system performs

a self-test which may be audible.

Control indicator u 3 90.

Adaptive brake light

During full braking, all three brake

lights flash for the duration of ABS

control.

Fault

9 Warning

If there is a fault in the ABS, the

wheels may be liable to lock due

to braking that is heavier than

normal. The advantages of ABS

are no longer available. During

hard braking, the vehicle can no

longer be steered and may

swerve.

Have the cause of the fault remedied

by a workshop.

Parking brake

Manual parking brake

Always apply parking brake firmly

without operating the release button,

and apply as firmly as possible on a

downhill or uphill slope.

To release the parking brake, pull the

adequate force. For maximum force,

e.g. parking with trailer or on inclines,

pull switch m twice.

The electric parking brake is applied

when control indicator m illuminates

3 90.

The electric parking brake can always

be activated, even if the ignition is off.

Do not operate electric parking brake

system too often without engine

running as this will discharge the

vehicle battery.

Before leaving the vehicle, check the

electric parking brake status. Control

Switch on ignition. Keep brake pedal

depressed and then push switch m.

Drive away function

Depressing clutch pedal (manual

transmission) or engaging drive gear

(automatic transmission) and then

depressing the accelerator pedal

releases the electric parking brake

automatically. This is not possible

when the switch is pulled at the same

time.

This function also helps driving away

on inclines.

Aggressive drive away may reduce

life time of wear parts.

Dynamic braking when vehicle is

moving

When the vehicle is moving and the

switch m is kept pulled, the electric

parking brake system will decelerate

the vehicle, but will not apply

statically.

As soon as the switch m is released,

dynamic braking will be stopped.

Fault

Failure mode of electric parking brake

is indicated by control indicator j and

by a vehicle message which is

displayed in the Driver Information

Centre.

flashing, release electric parking

brake and retry applying.

Brake assist

If the brake pedal is depressed

quickly and forcefully, maximum

brake force is automatically applied

(full braking).

Maintain steady pressure on the

brake pedal for as long as full braking

is required. Maximum brake force is

automatically reduced when the

brake pedal is released.

Hill start assist

The system helps prevent unintended

movement when driving away on

inclines.

When releasing the foot brake after

stopping on an incline, the brakes

remain on for a further two seconds.

The brakes release automatically as

soon as the vehicle begins to

accelerate.

The hill start assist is not active during

an Autostop.

Ride control systems

Traction Control system

The Traction Control system (TC) is a

component of the Electronic Stability

Control (ESC) 3 148.

TC improves driving stability when

necessary, regardless of the type of

road surface or tyre grip, by

preventing the drive wheels from

spinning.

As soon as the drive wheels starts to

spin, engine output is reduced and

the wheel spinning the most is braked

individually. This considerably

improves the driving stability of the

vehicle on slippery road surfaces.

148 Driving and operating

TC is operational after each engine

start as soon as the control indicator

b extinguishes.

prevents the drive wheels from

spinning. ESC operates in

combination with the Traction Control

system (TC) 3 147.

As soon as the vehicle starts to

swerve (understeer/oversteer),

engine output is reduced and the

wheels are braked individually. This

considerably improves the driving

stability of the vehicle on slippery road

surfaces.

NORMAL mode

All settings of the systems are

adapted to standard values.

Drive mode control

Within each manually selected driving

mode SPORT, TOUR or NORMAL,

the Drive Mode Control (DMC)

detects and analyses continuously

the real driving characteristic,

responses by the driver, and the

active dynamic state of the vehicle. If

necessary, the control unit of DMC

automatically changes the settings

within the selected driving mode or,

when recognising greater variations,

the driving mode is changed for the

length of variation.

If, for example, NORMAL mode is

selected and DMC detects a sporty

driving behaviour, DMC changes

several settings of the Normal mode

into sporty settings. The DMC

changes to SPORT mode in case of

very sporty driving behaviour.

If, for another example, TOUR mode

is selected and whilst driving on a

winding road a sudden hard brake is

necessary, DMC will detect the

Driving and operating 151

row of parking cars is 1.8 metres.

Functionality

When the vehicle passes a row of

cars and the system is activated, the

advanced parking assist system

begins searching for a suitable

parking slot. When a suitable slot is

detected, a visual feedback on the

Driver Information Centre and an

acoustic signal are given.

If the driver does not stop the vehicle

within 10 metres after a parking slot is

proposed, the system starts to search

for another suitable parking slot.

The parking slot suggestion of the

system is accepted when the vehicle

is stopped by the driver within

10 metres after the Stop message is

given. The system calculates the

optimal route into the parking slot.

Then it manoeuvres the driver into the

slot by giving detailed instructions.

162 Driving and operating

The instructions in the display show:

■ a hint when driving faster than

30 km/h,

■ the demand to stop the vehicle,

when a parking slot is detected,

■ the direction of driving during the

Basic notes on parking assist

systems

9 Warning

Under certain circumstances,

various reflective surfaces on

objects or clothing as well as

external noise sources may cause

the system to fail to detect

obstacles.

Special attention has to be paid to

low obstacles which can damage

the lower part of the bumper.

Caution

Performance of the system can be

reduced when sensors are

covered, e.g. by ice or snow.

Performance of the parking assist

system can be reduced due to

heavy loading.

Special conditions apply if there

are taller vehicles involved in the

parking scene (e.g. off-road

vehicles, mini vans, vans, camper,

164 Driving and operating

trailers and trucks). Object

identification and correct distance

indication in the upper part of

these vehicles cannot be

guaranteed.

Objects with a very small reflection

cross section, like objects of

narrow size or soft materials, may

not be detected by the system.

Parking assist and advanced

parking assist will not detect

objects out of the detection range.

Note

The parking assist system

automatically detects factory-fitted

towing equipment. It is deactivated

when the connector is plugged in.

It is possible that the sensor detects

a non-existing object (echo

disturbance) caused by external

acoustical or mechanic

disturbances.

Advanced parking assist system

may not respond to changes in the

parking space after initiating a

parallel parking manoeuvre.

Note

After production the advanced

parking assist needs a calibration.

For an optimal parking guidance a

driving distance of at least 10 km

with many curves is required.

Side blind spot alert

The Side blind spot alert system

detects and reports objects on either

side of the vehicle, within a specified

"blind spot" zone. The system alerts

visually in each exterior mirror, when

detecting objects that may not be

visible in the interior and exterior

mirrors.

The system's sensors are located in

the bumper on the left and right side

of the vehicle.

9 Warning

Side blind spot alert does not

replace driver vision.

The system does not detect:

■ Vehicles outside the side blind

zones which may be rapidly

approaching.

■ Pedestrians, cyclists or animals.

Before changing a lane, always

check all mirrors, look over the

shoulder and use the turn signal.

When the system detects a vehicle in

the side blind zone while driving

forward, either while passing a

vehicle or being passed, an amber

warning symbol B will illuminate in

the relevant exterior mirror. If the

driver then activates the turn signal,

the warning symbol B starts flashing

amber as a warning not to change

lanes.

Driving and operating 165

Side blind spot alert is active from

speeds of 10 km/h up to 140 km/h.

Driving faster than 140 km/h

deactivates the system, indicated by

low lighting warning symbols B in

both exterior mirrors. Reducing the

speed again will extinguish the

warning symbols. If a vehicle is then

detected in the blind zone, the

warning symbols B will illuminate as

normal on the relevant side.

When the vehicle is started, both

exterior mirror displays will briefly

come on to indicate that the system is

operating.

Fuel consumption - CO

Emissions

The fuel consumption (combined) is

within a range of 7.2 to 5.2 l/100 km.

The CO

emission (combined) is

within a range of 169 to 138 g/km.

For the values specific to your

vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of

Conformity provided with your vehicle

or other national registration

documents.

General information

The official fuel consumption and

specific CO

emission figures quoted

relate to the EU base model with

standard equipment.

Fuel consumption data and CO

emission data are determined

according to regulation

R (EC) No. 715/2007 (in the latest

applicable version), taking into

consideration the vehicle weight in

running order, as specified by the

regulation.

The figures are provided only for the

purpose of comparison between

different vehicle variants and must

not be taken as a guarantee for the

actual fuel consumption of a

particular vehicle. Additional

equipment may result in slightly

higher results than the stated

consumption and CO

figures.

Furthermore, fuel consumption is

dependent on personal driving style

as well as road and traffic conditions.

Trailer hitch

General information

Only use towing equipment that has

been approved for your vehicle.

Entrust retrofitting of towing

equipment to a workshop. It may be

necessary to make changes that

affect the cooling system, heat

shields or other equipment.

The bulb outage detection function for

trailer brake light cannot detect a

partial bulb outage, e.g. in case of 4 x

5 Watt bulbs, the function only detects

lamp outage when only a single

5 Watt lamp remains or none remain.

Fitting of towing equipment could

cover the opening of the towing eye.

If this is the case use the coupling ball

bar for towing. Always keep the

coupling ball bar in the vehicle.

Driving and operating 175

Driving characteristics and

towing tips

Before attaching a trailer, lubricate

the coupling ball. However, do not do

so if a stabiliser, which acts on the

coupling ball, is being used to reduce

snaking movements.

For trailers with low driving stability

and caravan trailers with a permitted

gross vehicle weight of more than

1400 kg the use of a stabiliser is

strongly recommended when driving

above 80 km/h.

If the trailer starts snaking, drive more

slowly, do not attempt to correct the

steering and brake sharply if

necessary.

When driving downhill, drive in the

same gear as if driving uphill and

drive at a similar speed.

Adjust tyre pressure to the value

specified for full load 3 236.

Trailer towing

Trailer loads

The permissible trailer loads are

vehicle and engine-dependent

maximum values which must not be

exceeded. The actual trailer load is

the difference between the actual

gross weight of the trailer and the

actual coupling socket load with the

trailer coupled.

The permissible trailer loads are

specified in the vehicle documents. In

general, they are valid for gradients

up to max. 12 %.

The permitted trailer load applies up

to the specified incline and up to an

altitude of 1000 metres above sea

level. Since engine power decreases

as altitude increases due to the air

becoming thinner, therefore reducing

climbing ability, the permissible gross

train weight also decreases by 10 %

for every 1000 metres of additional

altitude. The gross train weight does

not have to be reduced when driving

on roads with slight inclines (less than

8 %, e.g. motorways).

The permissible gross train weight

must not be exceeded. This weight is

specified on the identification plate

3 226.

Vertical coupling load

The vertical coupling load is the load

exerted by the trailer on the coupling

ball. It can be varied by changing the

weight distribution when loading the

trailer.

The maximum permissible vertical

coupling load (75 kg) is specified on

the towing equipment identification

plate and in the vehicle documents.

Always aim for the maximum load,

especially in the case of heavy

trailers. The vertical coupling load

should never fall below 25 kg.

176 Driving and operating

Rear axle load

When the trailer is coupled and the

towing vehicle fully loaded, the

permissible rear axle load (see

identification plate or vehicle

documents) may be exceeded by

100 kg, the gross vehicle weight

rating may be exceeded by 100 kg. If

the permissible rear axle load is

exceeded, a maximum speed of

100 km/h applies.

Towing equipment

Caution

When operating without a trailer,

remove the coupling ball bar.

Stowage of coupling ball bar

The coupling ball bar is stowed in a

bag and must be secured in the load

Wheels

On vehicles with Diesel engines no

steel rims and only special, for this

vehicle approved alloy wheels are

permitted.

Tyre condition, wheel condition

Drive over edges slowly and at right

angles if possible. Driving over sharp

edges can cause tyre and wheel

damage. Do not trap tyres on the kerb

when parking.

Regularly check the wheels for

damage. Seek the assistance of a

workshop in the event of damage or

unusual wear.

Winter tyres

Winter tyres improve driving safety at

temperatures below 7 °C and should

therefore be fitted on all wheels.

All tyre sizes are permitted as winter

tyres 3 236.

Vehicle care 203

Use tyre size 225/55 R17 only as

winter tyres.

On vehicles with Diesel engines, no

steel rims and only special, vehicle-

approved alloy wheels are permitted.

In accordance with country-specific

regulations, affix the speed sticker in

the driver's field of view.

Tyre designations

E.g. 235/55 R 17 99 V

235 = Tyre width, mm

55 = Cross-section ratio (tyre

height to tyre width), %

R = Belt type: Radial

RF = Type: RunFlat

17 = Wheel diameter, inches

99 = Load index e.g. 99 is

equivalent to 775 kg

V = Speed code letter

Speed code letter:

Q = up to 160 km/h

S = up to 180 km/h

T = up to 190 km/h

H = up to 210 km/h

V = up to 240 km/h

Tyre pressure

Check the pressure of cold tyres at

least every 14 days and before any

long journey. Do not forget the spare

wheel. This also applies to vehicles

with tyre pressure monitoring system.

Unscrew the valve cap.

Tyre pressure 3 236.

The tyre and loading information label

on the left door frame indicates the

original equipment tyres and the

correspondent tyre pressures.

The tyre pressure data refers to cold

tyres. It applies to summer and winter

tyres.

Always inflate the spare tyre to the

pressure specified for full load.

The ECO tyre pressure serves to

achieve the smallest amount of fuel

consumption possible.

Incorrect tyre pressures will impair

safety, vehicle handling, comfort and

fuel economy and will increase tyre

wear.

Tyre pressures differ depending on

various options. For the correct tyre

pressure value, follow the procedure

below:

1. Identify the engine identifier code.

Engine data 3 231.

2. Identify the respective tyre.

The tyre pressure tables show all

possible tyre combinations 3 236.

For the tyres approved for your

vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of

Conformity provided with your vehicle

or other national registration

documents.

The driver is responsible for correct

adjustment of tyre pressure.

204 Vehicle care

9 Warning

If the pressure is too low, this can

result in considerable tyre warm-

up and internal damage, leading to

tread separation and even to tyre

blow-out at high speeds.

If the tyre pressure must be reduced

or increased on a vehicle with tyre

pressure monitoring system, switch

off ignition. After adjusting tyre

pressure switch on ignition and select

the relevant setting on the page Tyre

load on the Driver Information Centre,

3 94.

Tyre pressure monitoring

system

The tyre pressure monitoring system

checks the pressure of all four wheels

once a minute when vehicle speed

exceeds a certain limit.

Caution

Tyre pressure monitoring system

warns just about low tyre pressure

condition and does not replace

regular tyre maintenance by the

driver.

All wheels must be equipped with

pressure sensors and the tyres must

have the prescribed pressure.

The current tyre pressures can be

shown in the Vehicle Information

Menu in the Driver Information

Centre.

The menu can be selected by the

buttons on the turn signal lever.

Press the MENU button to select the

Vehicle Information MenuX.

Vehicle care 205

Turn the adjuster wheel to select the

tyre pressure monitoring system.

System status and pressure warnings

are displayed by a message with the

corresponding tyre flashing in the

Driver Information Centre.

A detected low tyre pressure

condition is indicated by the control

indicator w 3 92.

If w illuminates, stop as soon as

possible and inflate the tyres as

recommended 3 236.

After inflating, driving may be

required to update the tyre pressure

values in the DIC. During this time w

may illuminate.

If w illuminates at lower temperatures

and extinguishes after some driving,

this could be an indicator for getting

low pressure. Check tyre pressure.

Vehicle messages 3 100.

If the tyre pressure must be reduced

or increased, switch off ignition.

Only mount wheels with pressure

sensors, otherwise the tyre pressure

will not be displayed and w

illuminates continuously.

A spare wheel or temporary spare

wheel is not equipped with pressure

sensors. The tyre pressure

monitoring system is not operational

for these wheels. Control indicator w

illuminates. For the further three

wheels the system remains

operational.

The use of commercially available

liquid tyre repair kits can impair the

function of the system. Factory-

approved repair kits can be used.

External high-power radio equipment

could disrupt the tyre pressure

monitoring system.

Each time the tyres are replaced tyre

pressure monitoring system sensors

have to be dismounted and serviced.

For the screwed sensor: replace

valve core and sealing ring. For

clipped sensor: replace complete

valve stem.

Vehicle loading status

Adjust tyre pressure to load condition

according to tyre information label or

tyre pressure chart 3 236, and select

the relevant setting in the menu Tire

Load in the Driver Information Centre,

Vehicle Information Menu 3 94.

206 Vehicle care

Select:

■ Light for comfort pressure up to

3 people

■ Eco for Eco pressure up to

3 people

■ Max for full loading

Auto learn function

After changing wheels, the vehicle

must be stationary for approx.

20 minutes, before the system

recalculates. The following relearn

process takes up to 10 minutes of

driving with a minimum speed of

20 km/h. In this case, $ can be

displayed or pressure values can

swap in the Driver Information Centre.

If problems occur during the relearn

process, a warning message is

displayed in the Driver Information

Centre.

Temperature dependency

Tyre pressure depends on the

temperature of the tyre. During

driving, tyre temperature and

pressure increase.

The tyre pressure value displayed in

the Driver Information Centre shows

the actual tyre pressure. Therefore it

is important to check tyre pressure

with cold tyres.

Tread depth

Check tread depth at regular

intervals.

Tyres should be replaced for safety

reasons at a tread depth of 2-3 mm

(4 mm for winter tyres).

For safety reasons it is recommended

that the tread depth of the tyres on

one axle should not vary by more than

2 mm.

The legally permissible minimum

tread depth (1.6 mm) has been

reached when the tread has worn

down as far as one of the tread wear

indicators (TWI). Their position is

indicated by markings on the

sidewall.

If there is more wear at the front than

the rear, swap round front wheels and

rear wheels periodically. Ensure that

the direction of rotation of the wheels

is the same as before.

Vehicle care 207

Tyres age, even if they are not used.

We recommend tyre replacement

every 6 years.

Changing tyre and wheel

size

If tyres of a different size than those

fitted at the factory are used, it may be

necessary to reprogramme the

speedometer as well as the nominal

tyre pressure and make other vehicle

modifications.

After converting to a different tyre

size, have the label with tyre

pressures replaced.

9 Warning

Use of unsuitable tyres or wheels

may lead to accidents and will

invalidate the vehicle type

approval.

Wheel covers

Wheel covers and tyres that are

factory approved for the respective

vehicle and comply with all of the

relevant wheel and tyre combination

requirements must be used.

If the wheel covers and tyres used are

not factory approved, the tyres must

not have a rim protection ridge.

Wheel covers must not impair brake

cooling.

9 Warning

Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel

covers could lead to sudden

pressure loss and thereby

accidents.

Tyre chains

Use tyre chains only on front wheels.

Tyre chains are permitted on tyres of

size 225/55 R 17. Always use fine

mesh chains that add no more than

10 mm to the tyre tread and the

inboard sides (including chain lock).

Tyre chains are also permitted on

tyres of size 245/45 R 18. Always use

fine mesh chains that add no more

than 7 mm to the tyre tread and the

inboard sides (including chain lock).

208 Vehicle care

9 Warning

Damage may lead to tyre blowout.

The use of tyre chains is not permitted

on the temporary spare wheel.

Tyre chains 3 207.

Directional tyres

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.

The following applies to tyres fitted

opposing the rolling direction:

■ Driveability may be affected. Have

the defective tyre renewed or

repaired as soon as possible.

■ Drive particularly carefully on wet

and snow-covered road surfaces.

Jump starting

Do not start with quick charger.

A vehicle with a discharged vehicle

battery can be started using jump

leads and the vehicle battery of

another vehicle.

9 Warning

Be extremely careful when starting

with jump leads. Any deviation

from the following instructions can

lead to injuries or damage caused

by battery explosion or damage to

the electrical systems of both

vehicles.

9 Warning

Avoid contact of the battery with

eyes, skin, fabrics and painted

surfaces. The fluid contains

sulphuric acid which can cause

injuries and damage in the event

of direct contact.

Vehicle care 217

■ Never expose the battery to naked

flames or sparks.

■ A discharged vehicle battery can

already freeze at a temperature of

0 °C. Defrost the frozen battery

before connecting jump leads.

■ Wear eye protection and protective

clothing when handling a battery.

■ Use a booster battery with the

same voltage (12 Volts). Its

capacity (Ah) must not be much

rod – to the towing eye.

The towing eye must only be used for

towing and not for recovering the

vehicle.

Switch on ignition to release steering

wheel lock and to permit operation of

brake lights, horn and windscreen

wiper.

Transmission in neutral.

Vehicle care 219

Caution

Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.

Excessive tractive force can

damage the vehicle.

When the engine is not running,

considerably more force is needed to

brake and steer.

To prevent the entry of exhaust gases

from the towing vehicle, switch on the

air recirculation and close the

windows, when soft top is closed.

Vehicles with automatic transmission:

The vehicle must be towed facing

forwards, not faster than 80 km/h nor

further than 100 km. In all other cases

and when the transmission is

defective, the front axle must be

raised off the ground.

Seek the assistance of a workshop.

After towing, unscrew the towing eye

clockwise.

Insert cap at the top and engage

downwards.

Towing another vehicle

Insert a screwdriver in the slot at the

lower bend of the cap. Release the

cap by carefully moving the

screwdriver downwards.

The towing eye is stowed with the

vehicle tools 3 201.

Screw in the towing eye anticlockwise

as far as it will go until it stops in a

horizontal position.

The lashing eye at the rear

underneath the vehicle must never be

used as a towing eye.

Attach a tow rope – or even better a

tow bar – to the towing eye.

The towing eye must only be used for

towing and not for recovering a

vehicle.

220 Vehicle care

Caution

Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.

Excessive tractive force can

damage the vehicle.

After towing, unscrew the towing eye

clockwise.

Insert cap at the top and engage

downwards.

Appearance care

Exterior care

Locks

The locks are lubricated at the factory

using a high quality lock cylinder

grease. Use de-icing agent only when

absolutely necessary, as this has a

degreasing effect and impairs lock

function. After using a de-icing agent,

have the locks regreased by a

workshop.

Washing

The paintwork of your vehicle is

exposed to environmental influences,

therefore wash your vehicle regularly.

When using automatic vehicle

washes, prefer one with textile

brushes and select a programme

without wax additives.

When doing hand wash, use clear

water and a soft brush, cleaning in

grain direction of the textile hood.

Never use a a steam-jet or high-

pressure jet cleaner for the soft top

and the engine compartment.

Wax painted parts of the vehicle

regulary.

Bird droppings, dead insects, resin,

pollen and the like should be cleaned

off immediately, as they contain

aggressive constituents which can

cause paint and fabric damage.

If using a vehicle wash, comply with

the vehicle wash manufacturer's

instructions. The windscreen wiper

must be switched off. Remove

additional antenna and external

accessories.

If you wash your vehicle by hand,

make sure that the insides of the

wheel housings are also thoroughly

rinsed out.

Clean edges and folds on opened

doors and the bonnet as well as the

areas they cover.

Caution

Always use a cleaning agent with

a pH value of 4 to 9.

Do not use cleaning agents on hot

surfaces.

Vehicle care 221

Caution

After washing or cleaning, the soft

top must be completely dried

before opening. If a wet soft top

remains opened for a longer time,

it would be damaged by water

spotting and mould growth.

When cleaning with a high-pressure

jet cleaner ensure a minimum

distance of 30 cm to the rear brand

emblem to prevent unintended

unlocking.

Thoroughly rinse and leather-off the

vehicle. Rinse leather frequently. Use

separate leathers for painted and

glass surfaces: remnants of wax on

the windows will impair vision.

Have the door hinges of all doors

greased by a workshop.

Do not use hard objects to remove

spots of tar. Use tar removal spray on

painted surfaces.

Exterior lights

Headlight and other light covers are

made of plastic. Do not use any

abrasive or caustic agents, do not use

an ice scraper, and do not clean them

dry.

Polishing and waxing

Wax painted parts of the vehicle

regularly (at the latest when water no

longer beads). Otherwise, the

paintwork will dry out.

Polishing is necessary only if the paint

has become dull or if solid deposits

have become attached to it.

Paintwork polish with silicone forms a

protective film, making waxing

unnecessary.

Soft top as well as plastic body parts

must not be treated with wax or

polishing agents.

Windows and windscreen wiper

blades

Use a soft lint-free cloth or chamois

leather together with window cleaner

and insect remover.

When cleaning the rear window from

inside, always wipe in parallel to the

heating element to prevent damage.

For mechanical removal of ice, use a

sharp-edged ice scraper. Press the

scraper firmly against the glass so

that no dirt can get under it and

scratch the glass.

Clean smearing wiper blades with a

soft cloth and window cleaner.

Wheels and tyres

Do not use high-pressure jet

cleaners.

Clean rims with a pH-neutral wheel

cleaner.

Rims are painted and can be treated

with the same agents as the body.

Paintwork damage

Rectify minor paintwork damage with

a touch-up pen before rust forms.

Have more extensive damage or rust

areas repaired by a workshop.

222 Vehicle care

Underbody

Some areas of the vehicle underbody

have a PVC undercoating while other

critical areas have a durable

protective wax coating.

After the underbody is washed, check

the underbody and have it waxed if

necessary.

Bitumen/rubber materials could

damage the PVC coating. Have

underbody work carried out by a

workshop.

Before and after winter, wash the

underbody and have the protective

wax coating checked.

Towing equipment

Do not clean the coupling ball bar with

a steam-jet or high-pressure jet

cleaner.

Interior care

Interior and upholstery

Only clean the vehicle interior,

including the instrument panel fascia

and panelling, with a dry cloth or

interior cleaner.

Clean the leather upholstery with

clear water and a soft cloth. In case of

heavy soiling, use leather care.

The instrument cluster and the

displays should only be cleaned using

a soft damp cloth. If necessary use a

weak soap solution.

Clean fabric upholstery with a

vacuum cleaner and brush. Remove

stains with an upholstery cleaner.

Clothing fabrics may not be

colourfast. This could cause visible

discolourations, especially on light-

coloured upholstery. Removable

stains and discolourations should be

cleaned as soon as possible.

Clean seat belts with lukewarm water

or interior cleaner.

Caution

Close Velcro fasteners as open

Velcro fasteners on clothing could

damage seat upholstery.

The same applies to clothing with

sharp-edged objects, like zips or

belts or studded jeans.

Plastic and rubber parts

Plastic and rubber parts can be

cleaned with the same cleaner as

used to clean the body. Use interior

cleaner if necessary. Do not use any

other agent. Avoid solvents and petrol

in particular. Do not use high-

pressure jet cleaners.

products not in line with these

specifications will not be covered by

the warranty.

9 Warning

Operating materials are

hazardous and could be

poisonous. Handle with care. Pay

attention to information given on

the containers.

Engine oil

Engine oil is identified by its quality

and its viscosity. Quality is more

important than viscosity when

selecting which engine oil to use. The

oil quality ensures e.g. engine

cleanliness, wear protection and oil

aging control, whereas viscosity

grade gives information on the oil's

thickness over a temperature range.

Dexos is the newest engine oil quality

that provides optimum protection for

gasoline and diesel engines. If it is

unavailable, engine oils of other listed

qualities have to be used.

Select the appropriate engine oil

based on its quality and on the

minimum ambient temperature

3 228.

Topping up engine oil

Engine oils of different manufacturers

and brands can be mixed as long as

they comply with the required engine

oil quality and viscosity.

Use of engine oil with only

ACEA A1/B1 or only A5/B5 quality is

prohibited, since it can cause long-

term engine damage under certain

operating conditions.

Select the appropriate engine oil

based on its quality and on the

minimum ambient temperature

3 228.

Service and maintenance 225

Additional engine oil additives

The use of additional engine oil

additives could cause damage and

invalidate the warranty.

Engine oil viscosity grades

The SAE viscosity grade gives

information of the thickness of the oil.

Multigrade oil is indicated by two

figures, e.g. SAE 5W-30. The first

figure, followed by a W, indicates the

low temperature viscosity and the

second figure the high temperature

viscosity.

Select the appropriate viscosity grade

depending on the minimum ambient

temperature 3 228.

All of the recommended viscosity

grades are suitable for high ambient

temperatures.

Coolant and antifreeze

Use only organic acid type-long life

coolant (LLC) antifreeze approved for

the vehicle. Consult a workshop.

The system is factory filled with

coolant designed for excellent

corrosion protection and frost

protection down to approx. -28 °C. In

northern countries with very low

temperatures the factory filled coolant

provides frost protection down to

approx. -37 °C. This concentration

should be maintained all year round.

The use of additional coolant

additives that intend to give additional

corrosion protection or seal against

minor leaks can cause function

problems. Liability for consequences

resulting from the use of additional

coolant additives will be rejected.

Brake and clutch fluid

Only use high-performance brake

fluid approved for the vehicle, consult

a workshop.

Over time, brake fluid absorbs

moisture which will reduce braking

effectiveness. The brake fluid should

therefore be replaced at the specified

interval.

Brake fluid should be stored in a

sealed container to avoid water

absorption.

Ensure brake fluid does not become

contaminated.

Vehicle data recording and pri‐

Customer information

Declaration of conformity

This vehicle has systems that

transmit and/or receive radio waves

subject to Directive 1999/5/EC.

These systems are in compliance

with the essential requirements and

other relevant provisions of

Directive 1999/5/EC. Copies of the

original Declarations of Conformity

can be obtained on our website.

Vehicle data recording

and privacy

Event data recorders

The vehicle has a number of

sophisticated systems that monitor

and control several vehicle data.

Some data may be stored during

regular operation to facilitate repair of

detected malfunctions, other data is

stored only in a crash or near crash

event by modules in your vehicle

systems that have an event data

recording function such as the airbag

control module.

The systems may record diagnostic

data about the condition of the vehicle

(e.g. oil level or vehicle mileage) and

information how it was operated (e.g.

engine speed, brake application and

seat belt usage).

To read this data, special equipment

and access to the vehicle is required.

Some diagnostic data is electronically

fed into Opel global systems when the

vehicle is serviced in a workshop, in

order to document the service history

Customer information 239

of the vehicle. This enables the

workshop to offer you efficient

maintenance and repair, tailored to

your individual vehicle, each time you

bring it back to the workshop.

The manufacturer will not access

driver's behaviour related information

about a crash event or share it with

others except:

■ with the consent of the vehicle

owner or, if the vehicle is leased, of

the lessee

■ in response to an official request of

police or similar government office

■ as part of the manufacturer's

defense in case of legal

proceedings

■ as required by law

In addition, the manufacturer may use

the collected or received diagnostic

data:

■ for the manufacturer's research

needs

■ to make it available for research

needs where appropriate

confidentiality is maintained and

need is shown

■ to share summary data which is not

tied to a specific vehicle with other

organisations for research

purposes

Radio Frequency

Identification (RFID)

RFID technology is used in some

vehicles for functions such as tyre

pressure monitoring and ignition

system security. It is also used in

connection with conveniences such

as radio remote controls for door

locking/unlocking and starting, and in-

vehicle transmitters for garage door

openers. RFID technology in Opel

vehicles does not use or record

personal information or link with any

other Opel system containing

personal information.
