That was a brief overview of the m ost important information for your first trip in your vehicle.

The other pages of this chapter contain a description of some interesting functions in your vehicle.

The rem aining chapters of the Ow ner’s Manual contain important inform ation on operation, safety and maintenance as well as a com plete index.

16 In Brief

Vauxhall Full Size airbag system The Vauxhall Full Size airbag system consists of several interna l systems.

Front airb ag system 3 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. 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 triggers when a side-on collision occurs and provides a safety barrier for the d river and/or passenger in the respective front door area. This reduc es the risk of injury to the up per body considerably in case of a side-impact.

6 Airbag system – see pag e 53.

Operating via the information display menus The menu options a re selected via the menus and with the button/four-wa y button or the m ulti-func tion button of the infota inm ent system 3 or via the buttons 3 on the steering wheel. The menu options app ear on the displa y.

To select with four-wa y button: Press four-way button up , down, right or left.

17In Brief

To select with the multi-func tion button (rotary knob ab ove the four-way button - see page 78): Press and turn multi-function button.

To exit a m enu, turn the multi-function button left or right to Return or Ma in and select.

To select with steering wheel b uttons 3: Select menu options v ia the m enus using the b uttons.

6 Information Display – see page 77.

Diesel particle filter 3 The diesel particle filter system removes polluting soot particles out of the engine exhaust gases. The system includes a self-cleaning function that operates autom atic ally while driving. The filter is cleaned by burning the trapped soot particles a t a high tempera ture. There may be a n increase in fuel consumption, exhaust sm ell, and engine cooling fa n op eration 3 during the self-cleaning op eration.

The self-cleaning function can not operate autom atic ally during certa in driv ing situations where the engine does not rea ch its normal operating tem perature. An exa mple of this would be driving only short distances in cold wea ther.

If the filter needs clea ning a nd recent driving situations did not allow the function to operate automatically , then the control indicator ! will flash. If this occurs, then you m ay continue to drive the vehicle normally. The vehicle will not be da maged and d oes not require service.

The self-c leaning function will operate automatically while driving after the eng ine has reached its norm al operating temperature. The c ontrol indicator ! will continue to flash until the self-cleaning operation is complete. This may ta ke up to 20 minutes of driving. The tim e w ill be shorter at higher vehicle speed s.

If a warning signal sounds when the driver’s door is opened (footbrake not depressed ), move the selector lever to N and apply the handbrake.

When stopping on grad ients, engage the ha ndb ra ke or depress the brake pedal. To prevent overheating of the clutch, do not increase engine speed to ensure smooth idling when in gear.

To prevent damag e to the Easytronic, the clutch is automatically engaged at very high c lutch tempera tures.

Switch off engine if stopping for a lengthy period, e.g. in traffic jams or at level crossings.

Vehicle storageBefore lea ving the vehicle: z engage handbrakez remove ignition key .

The previously selected g ear (show n on transmission d isplay) remains selected. No gear is selected in selector lever position N .

When the ignition is switched off the Easytronic no longer respond s to movement of the selector lever.

If the ignition key is not removed , the battery may be discharged if the vehicle is then left to sta nd for a lengthy p eriod of time.

If the handbrake has not been applied, the control ind icator R flashes for a few seconds after the ignition is switched off.

Picture no: 13739s.tifInterruption of p ower supply The clutch is not d iseng aged if the vehicle battery is discha rg ed and a gear has been selected. The vehicle cannot move.

If the ba ttery is flat, start the vehicle using jump lead s – see page 134.

If the cause of the power supply interruption is not a flat battery , contact a workshop for assistance. If the vehicle has to be moved out of flowing traffic, disengage clutc h as follows;

1. Apply handbrake and switch off ignition.

2. Open bonnet and engag e support.

3. Clean Easytronic around the cap (see fig ure) so that no d irt can get into the opening when the cap is removed.

4. Rotate ca p to sla cken a nd remove by lifting upwa rd s – see figure.

5. Turn the adjusting screw clockwise using a flat-head screwdriver (vehicle tools 3 – see page 141) until clear resistanc e can be felt. The clutch has now been disengaged.

Do not turn beyond the resistance, since this can d amage the Easytronic.

6. Fit cleaned cap ag ain. The cap must be in full contact w ith the housing.

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 for a ssistance imm ediately.


Driving hints The first 600 miles (1000 km) Drive your vehicle at various speeds. Do not use full throttle. Never allow the eng ine to labour at low revs.

Make good use of all gea rs. Depress the accelerator pedal a maximum of around three quarters of the ava ila ble ped al travel in all gears.

Do not drive faster than three quarters of max imum speed.

Do not brake unnecessarily hard for the first 125 miles (200 km ).

Never coa st with engine not running Many units will not function in this situation (e.g. brake servo unit, power steering 3). Driving in this manner is a da nger to yourself and others.

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

Electric power steering 3 If the power-assisted steering fails when being towed w ith the eng ine switched off – the vehicle can still be steered, but considera bly more forc e is req uired.

Dr iving in mountainous terrain or with a trai ler /ca rava n The cooling fan is electrically operated. Its cooling p ow er is therefore independent of the engine speed.

Since a considerable amount of heat is genera ted at high engine speeds and less at slower speeds, do not shift d ow n when climbing hills whilst the vehicle is still coping with the gradient in the higher g ear.

Diesel engines: On gradients of 10% or more, do not drive fa ster tha n 20 mph (30 km/h) in first gear or 30 mph (50 km/h) in second gea r.

Driv ing wi th a roof loa d Do not exceed the perm issible roof load, see page 190. For reasons of safety, distribute the load evenly and strap it d own firmly using retaining straps so that it cannot slip . Check the tyre pressure when the vehicle is loa ded. Do not travel faster than 75 m ph (120 km/h). Freq uently check the attachment and re-tighten. Note country-sp ecific regula tions.

Sw itching off the engine When you switch off, fans in the eng ine compa rtm ent may continue running for a tim e to c ool the engine.

If the engine temperature is very high, e.g. after driving in mountainous terrain: allow the engine to id le for approx im ately two minutes in order to prevent heat acc um ulation.

Vehicles with turbocharged engine After running at high eng ine speeds or high eng ine loads, op erate the engine briefly at a low load or run in neutral for approx. 30 seconds before switching off in ord er to protec t the turbocharger.


Save energy – m ore m iles Please observe the running-in hints on the previous pag e and the tips for sav ing energy on the following pa ges.

Good, technica lly correct and economical driving ensures ma ximum durability and performance for your vehic le.

Overrun The fuel supply is autom atically shut off during overrun, e.g. when the vehicle is being driven down long gradients or when braking. To enable the overrun cut-off to take effect, do not acc elerate during overrun and, if in manual transm ission mode, do not de-clutch. To prevent dam age to the cata lytic converter, overrun cut-off is temp orarily deactivated when the catalytic converter temperature is high.

Vehicles with turbocharged engine Flow -g enerated noises may be aud ible if the a ccelerator is released quickly on account of air flow in the turbocharger.

Eng ine sp eed Drive in a low engine speed range for each gear as much as possible.

Wa rming 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.

In autom atic mode, the Easytronic 3 d oes not shift to the higher g ears after a cold start until a fairly high engine speed is reached . This allows the catalytic converter to reach the temperature that is required for optimum pollutant reduction quick ly.

Correct g ear 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 dow n 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 op era tion Alw ays dep ress the clutch ped al hard to the floor to prevent shifting difficulties and tra nsmission dam age.

When driving do not use the pedal as a footrest; this will cause substantial clutch wear.

Cool ing fan The cooling fan is controlled v ia a therm oswitch and therefore only runs if nec essary .

The cooling fan a utomatica lly switches on when the diesel particle filter is being cleaned 3 depending on the engine.

Pedals Do not place any ob jects in the footwell which could slip under the ped als and inhibit the pedal travel.

To ensure the pedal travel is uninhibited, there must be no mats in the area of the pedals.

Battery ca re 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. ).

Depress the clutch when starting in ord er to relieve the strain on the starter and the battery.


Saving Fuel, Protecting the Environment Trend-setting technologyEnv ironmenta lly friendly and mainly recyclable materia ls were used when your vehic le was being developed and manufactured. The production methods used to m ake your vehicle are also env ironmenta lly -compatible.

Recycling of production wastes keeps the circulation of material closed. Reduction of energy a nd water requirements a lso help s to conserve natural resources.

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

Materia ls such as asbestos and cadmium are not used . The refrigerant in the air conditioning system 3 is CFC-free.

New painting techniques employ water as a solvent.

End-of-li fe vehicle rec overy For detailed information on Va uxha ll’ son-going comm itment to achieving an environmentally susta inab le future, including; design for recycling, take back of End-of-Life Vehicle’s (ELVs) and the recycling of ELVs, view www.va uxha ll.co.uk/recycling for details.

Energy and environm ent-c onscious driving z High noise levels and exhaust em issions

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

z You should therefore drive with energy in mind: "more miles – less fuel".

Reduce the noise level and exhaust emissions b y adopting an environment-consc ious driving style. This is extremely worthwhile and im proves the quality of life.

Fuel consum ption d epend s to a great extent on your own personal d riv ing style. The following hints are intended to help you consume fuel at a rate that is as close as possible to the specified levels – see page 188.

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

Warm ing up z Full throttle and w arming up at idle

speed increase w ear, fuel consumption, exhaust em ission, the am ount of pollutant in the exhaust and the am ount of noise.

z Drive off imm ediately after starting. Wa rm up the engine b y running it at moderate eng ine speeds.

Uniform speed z Hectic driving significantly increases fuel

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

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

Avoid frequent starting off and stopping e.g . at traffic lights, in short distance tra ffic and in queues of traffic by m eans of clever planning . Select road s w ith good traffic flow .

Idling z The eng ine also consumes fuel when

idling .

z If you have to wait for more than one minute, it is worthwhile switching off the engine. Five m inutes of idling corresponds to ap prox imately 0.6 miles (one kilometre) of driving.


Overrun z The fuel supply is automatically shut off

during overrun, e.g. when the vehicle is being driven down long gradients or when braking – see page 110.

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

Corr ect gear selec tion z High revs increase engine w ear and fuel

consumption.

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

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

High speed z The higher the speed , the higher the

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

z Slightly relea sing the accelerator ped al results in distinct fuel savings with no major loss of speed.

Drive at no more tha n around three quarters of max imum speed and you will use up to 50% less fuel, without losing a g reat deal of time.

Tyre pressure z Inadequate ty re p ressure, leading to

higher road resistance, costs m oney in two wa ys: for more fuel and increased tyre wear.

z Regular checks (every 14 d ays) pay off.

Electrical loa dsz The power consum ption of electrical

equip ment increa ses fuel consumption.

z Sw itch off all aux iliary electrical loads (e.g. air c onditioning 3, heated rear window) when not needed.

Roof racks z Due to air resistance, a roof load

can increase fuel consum ption by approx . 1 l/100 km.

z Remove them if they are not being used.

Repai r and m aintenance z Improper repairs or adjustm ent and

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

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

Appropriate parts might not b e recycled.

Contact with some of the materia ls involved may p ose a hea lth haz ard.

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

Extr em e d riving conditionsz Going up steep slopes, cornering, driving

on poor road s a nd winter driving a ll increase fuel consumption.

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

z Following the instruc tions given above will minimise consum ption under these cond itions.


Fuels, refuellingFuel c onsum ption Fuel consump tion is determined und er specific driv ing cond itions – see page 188.

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

There is increased friction betw een engine and transmission parts during the first 600 miles (1000 kilometres). This increases fuel consum ption.

Fuel for petrol engines Commercially available high-quality fuel with a maximum ethanol content of 5% as per DIN EN 228 (catalytic converter - see page 115, oc ta ne numbers - see pa ge 186). Fuel quality has a decisive influence on power output, running behaviour and service life of the engine. The additives contained in the fuel play an important role in this reg ard. You should therefore only use high-quality fuels conta ining additives.

Fuels with ethanol content greater than 5% do not comply w ith DIN EN 228 a nd must not b e used unless the vehicle ha s b een specifically develop ed a nd approved for use of such.

Fuel with too low an octane number can cause pinking. Vauxhall does not ac cept lia bility for resulting damage.

Petrol with a higher octane number can always be used.

The ignition tim ing is a utoma tica lly adjusted according to the grade of fuel used (octane number) – see page 186.

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.

S ince Ja nuary 2004, some oil comp anies have mixed their diesel fuel with upto 5% Bio fuel (FAME = Fatty Acid Methyl Esters) like RME (Rape-Oil Methyl Ester). This is in acc orda nce with the current DIN EN 590 and d oes not ha rm the fuel/injection system. The characteristics of a diesel fuel mixed up with 5% Bio fuel (FAME) do not differ from conventional diesel fuel and do not influence the vehicle’s driveability.

Importa nt: Diesel fuel m ixed with 5% FAM E acc ording to DIN EN 590 m ust not be confused with 100% Bio Diesel, which is not to be used in Vauxhall eng ines.

The flow and filterability of diesel fuel a re temperature-dependent.

Diesel fuels w ith improved low temp erature properties are therefore a vailable on the ma rket during the winter months. Make sure that you fill the tank with winter fuel before the start of the cold weather season.

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.

Diesel fuels must not be diluted with fuels that are intended for petrol eng ines.


Picture no: 15829t.tifFuel fi ller cap If replacing the fuel filler cap, be sure to use the original fuel filler cap for your model to ensure full func tionality. Diesel-eng ined vehic les have special fuel filler caps.

Refuel ling

Fuel filler neck at right rear side of vehicle.

Picture no: 11628s.tifWith a central locking system 3, the tank flap is unlocked together with the doors 3 – see p age 24.

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

Unlock the fuel filler cap with the ignition key 3, unscrew and suspend from tank flap .

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

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

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

2. After the automatic cut-off, the nominal capacity of the fuel tank can be obtained by topping up with two d oses of fuel. Make sure the noz zle is fully inserted.

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

C lose fuel tank cover.

Wipe off a ny overflowing fuel immediately .

9 Warning

Care must b e taken when ha ndling fuel.

Before refuelling , switch off the engine and any external heaters with com bustion chambers (id entified by a sticker on the tank flap ). Switch off mobile phones.

9 Warning

Fuel is flam mable and explosive. Therefore, avoid naked flames and spa rks w hen handling fuel or even in the proximity thereof. Do not smoke! This also a pplies if only the characteristic sm ell of fuel is present. If you smell fuel in the vehicle, have the cause remed ied immediately by a workshop.


Picture no: 6448u.tifCatalytic converter, exhaust gasesCa talytic conver ter for petrol enginesLeaded fuel will damage the catalytic converter and parts of the elec tronic system, rendering them inoperative.

Use of high-quality fuels other than those specified on page 186 (e.g. LRP1) ) c ould dam age the catalytic converter.

Damag e to the catalytic converter or the vehic le ma y result if the following points are not ob served:

z If you experience misfiring, irregular eng ine running after a cold start, a significant loss of engine power or other unusual problems tha t may indica te an ignition system fault, seek assistance from a workshop as soon as possible. If necessa ry , continue driving for a short time at slow sp eeds, keeping the engine revs low .

z If unburned fuel enters the catalytic converter, this m ay result in overheating and irrepara ble dama ge to the catalytic converter.

You should therefore avoid unnecessarily long use of the starter when starting off, running the tank dry (an irregular fuel supply will lea d to overheating) and sta rting the engine by pushing or towing.

z If the exha ust gas control ind icator Z flashes, slow down until the flashing stop s a nd the control indicator illuminates. Contact a workshop for assistance immediately. Exha ust gas control ind ic ator Z , see page 116.

Picture no: 11718s.t ifControl indicator A for engine elec tronics Illuminates for a few seconds when ig nition is sw itched on.

If it illum ina tes when the engine is running, there is a fault in the engine or transmission electronic s. The electronic s switch to the emergency running prog ra mme, fuel consump tion ma y increase and the driveability of the vehicle m ay be affected.

In some c ases the fault can be rem edied b y switching the engine off and sta rting it again. If the control indicator continues to illuminate whilst the engine is running, contact a w orkshop for assistance in rem edy ing the cause of the fault.

If it illum ina tes briefly , but does not recur, it is of no significa nce.

Illum ination of A can also ind icate w ater in the diesel fuel filter 3 . Have fuel filter checked for water residue b y a w orkshop, see p age 178.

If it flashes after the ignition is switched on, there is a fa ult in the immobiliser system. The engine cannot be started. See pag e 19.

Exhaust g ases

During the first drive sm oke m ay develop because of wax and oil evaporating on the exhaust system . Park the vehicle in the open for a while a fter the first drive and avoid inhaling the fum es.

9 Warning

Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide, w hich is colourless and odourless and c ould b e fatal if inhaled.

If exhaust gases p enetrate the vehicle, open windows and contact a workshop for assistance.


Diesel p artic le fi lter 3 The d iesel pa rticle filter system removes polluting soot particles out of the engine exhaust ga ses. The system includes a self-cleaning function tha t operates automatically while driving. The filter is cleaned by burning the trapped soot particles at a high temperature. There ma y be an increase in fuel consumption, exhaust smell, and engine cooling fan opera tion 3 during the self-clea ning opera tion.

Picture no: 18528s.tifThe self-cleaning function can not operate autom atic ally during certa in driv ing situations where the engine does not rea ch its normal operating tem perature. An exa mple of this would be driving only short distances in cold weather. If the filter needs cleaning and recent d riv ing situations did not a llow the func tion to automatically op erate, then the control indicator ! will flash. If this occurs, then you may continue to drive the vehic le normally. The vehicle will not be d amaged and does not require service.

The self-c leaning function will automatically operate while d riv ing after the engine has reached its normal operating temperature. The control indicator ! will c ontinue to flash until the self-cleaning op eration is complete. This ma y take up to 20 minutes of driving. The time will be shorter at higher vehicle speeds. If the vehicle is not moving for more than a few minutes, then the self-cleaning function will not operate. Operation will continue when driving resumes.


Picture no: 18535s.t ifWe recommend that you do not turn the ignition off until the self-cleaning opera tion is comp lete. If you m ust turn the ig nition off before the operation is com plete, then the opera tion will a utomatica lly resume when driving the next tim e and after the engine has reached its norm al operating tem perature.

Picture no: 18536s.tifThe control indica tor ! goes off as soon as the self-cleaning operation is complete.

Ma intena nce Have a ll maintenance work carried out at the specified intervals. We recommend that you entrust this w ork to your Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer, who has proper equipment and tra ined personnel available. Electronic testing systems permit rapid diagnosis and remedy of faults. This way you can b e certain that all components of the vehicle’s electrica l, injection and ignition systems operate correc tly , that your vehicle has a low level of pollutant emission and that the catalytic converter system will ha ve a long service life.

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

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


Brake system The b ra kes are an important factor for traffic sa fety.

To improve effectiveness, do not b ra ke unnecessarily hard for the first 125 miles (200 km) after new brake pads have been fitted.

Brake pad wear must not exceed a specified limit. Regular maintenance as detailed in the Service Book let is therefore of the utm ost importance for traffic safety.

Have worn brake pads replaced by a workshop.

Pa ds that have been tested and app roved by Vauxhall guarantee optimum b rake performance.

Brake pads that are worn right d ow n genera te a grinding noise. The vehicle can continue to be d riven. H ave brake pads replaced as soon a s p ossible. Contact a workshop to have the brake pads replaced.

Picture no: 11629s.tifBrake assi st When the brake ped al is forcefully depressed, the vehicle is automatically braked w ith m aximum brake force am plification in order to obtain the shortest possible b ra king dista nce during full-on braking (brake assist).

Maintain steady pressure on the b rake pedal for as long as full-on brak ing is to continue. When the brake pedal is released, the m aximum b ra ke force am plification is taken away.


Footbrake The footbrake comprises tw o independent brake circuits.

If a brake circ uit fails, the vehicle can still b e braked using the other b ra ke circ uit. However, the brake pedal m ust be depressed a considera ble w ay before any braking effect occurs, and m uch more force is required. The braking distance w ill be long er. Conta ct a workshop for assistance before continuing to drive.

To ensure the full p edal travel c an be utilized, espec ia lly in case of a fa ult in one of the brake circuits, there must b e no mats in the vicinity of the pedals – see page 110.

When the engine is not running, the sup port of the brake servo unit d isappears once the brake pedal has been depressed once or tw ic e. Bra king effect is not red uced, b ut b ra king requires significantly greater force. This is especially im portant to bear in mind when tow ing.

Check the brake lights b efore starting out on a journey.

Shortly after starting ea ch journey the effectiveness of the brake system should be tested at low sp eed and without inconveniencing other traffic, especially if the brakes are wet, e.g. after the vehicle ha s b een washed.

The brake fluid level should be checked regularly. If the brake fluid level is too low and the handbrake is not applied, control indica tor R on the instrument panel illuminates - see page 69.

Picture no: 12481s.tifHand brake Always a pply handbrake firmly without pressing the release button. On slopes app ly the handbrake as firm ly as possible.

The mechanical handbrake a cts on the brakes on the rear wheels. It eng ages automatically when app lied.

To release the handb ra ke pull the lever up slightly , press the ratchet button, and fully lower the lever.

In order to reduce the handb ra ke operational forces, depress the footbrake at the same tim e.

For vehicles w ith Easytronic 3, the control indicator flashes for a few seconds when the ignition is turned off if the handbrake is not applied.

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS u) 3 The ABS continually monitors the brake system and prevents the wheels from lock ing , reg ardless of the road conditions and tyre grip.

It starts to regulate the brak ing pressure as soon as a wheel shows a tendency to loc k. The vehic le remains steerable, even in the event of very heavy braking, for instance on b ends or when swerv ing to avoid a n ob stacle. Even in the case of full-on braking, the ABS m akes it possible to d rive round an obstacle without releasing the brakes.

AB S control is m ade apparent though a pulse in the brake pedal a nd the noise of the reg ulation process.

Picture no: 12147s.tifControl indic ator u for ABSIt illuminates for a few sec onds when the ignition is switched on. Once the control indicator goes out, the system is ready for operation.

If the control indicator d oes not go out after a few seconds, or if it illuminates while driving, there is a fault in the ABS. The brake system remains operational without ABS regulation.

9 Warning

If the control ind icator illum inates when the handbrake is released, stop driving im med ia tely. Contact a w orkshop for assistance.

9 Warning

For optimum braking, keep the brake pedal fully depressed throughout the braking process, despite the fact tha t the pedal is pulsa ting. Do not reduce the pressure on the pedal.

Do not let this special safety fea ture tempt you into taking risk s w hen driving.

Traffic safety c an only be achieved by adopting a responsible driving style.


Self testing After every ignition sequence and sta rting of the engine, you may hear the system carrying out self testing once you have moved off and are moving a t a speed of greater than approx . 1.9 mph (3 km/h).

Fault

You ca n continue driv ing , provided you drive with care and anticipation.

Have ca use of fa ult remedied b y a workshop. The system ’s integrated self diagnostic s a llow fa ults to be quickly rem edied.

Wheels, tyres See pag e 193 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 typ ePlease note the follow ing changes before converting to different ty res or wheels.

If tyres of a different size than those fitted at the factory are used, the electronic speedom eter may require reprogramming to ensure that the correct sp eed 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.

Pay attention to legal requirements w hen disposing of ty res.

If w ear in the front is greater than that in the rear, switch the front wheels with the rear ones.

Correct tyre pressure.

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

9 Warning

Dama ge m ay lead to ty re blow-out.


Picture no: 6457u.tifThe legally permissible minimum tread depth (1.6 m m) has been reached when the tread has worn down as far as one of the w ear indicators (TWI 1)). A number of wear indicators a re spaced at equal intervals around the ty re within the tread. Their position is indicated by markings on the ty re sidewall.

General information

z The danger of aq uap laning is greater if the ty res 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 prev ious history and use of w hich you do not know.

z So as not to im pair brake cooling , use only wheel trims app roved for use on your vehicle.

Winter tyres 3 For notes on fitting new tyres – see page 123.

See page 193 for restric tions.

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

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

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

Use of a spa re wheel fitted with a sum mer tyre may affect the vehicle’s driveability, especially on slippery road surfaces. Obtain a replacem ent for the faulty tyre as soon a s possib le, and have the wheel balanced and fitted to the vehicle.

Wheel t rims 3 If the wheel trims and tyres used are not Vauxhall-approved , make sure that the tyres d o not have a bea ded edge. See page 124.

P icture no: 6459u.tifTyre chains 3 See pag e 193 for restrictions.

Tyre c hains are only perm itted on the driven wheels (front a xle). They m ust be fitted to the tyres symm etrically in order to achieve a concentric fit.

Alw ays use fine mesh chains that add no more than 10 m m to the ty re tread and the inboard sides (including chain lock).

Wheel trim on steel wheels could come into contact with parts of the cha in and be dam aged . Remove the wheel trim – see page 142.

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

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

For notes on the tem porary spare wheel – see page 140.

Wheel changing – see pag e 142.

Correct tyre p ressure - see pages 124, 193.

Roof racks 3

For safety reasons and to avoid roof dam age we recommend using the Vauxhall roof rac k system that is approved for your vehicle.

Remove the covers from the roof rack mounting apertures.

Fasten the roof rack following the instructions that ac company the system.

Driving hints – see page 109.

Towing equipment 3

Alw ays using towing equipment that has been approved for the vehicle. Have tow ing equipment retro-fitted by a workshop, who will provide information about possible tra iler load increases. The workshop has instructions for installing the tow ing equipment and any possible modifications to the vehicle tha t affect cooling, heat shields and other equip ment.

For insta lla tion dim ensions of the trailer tow ing equipment – see page 199.

Tow ing equipm ent with fixed coupl ing ball b ar 3 In the case of trailers/caravans with brake, attach break-away stopping ca ble to eye to rig ht of c oupling ba ll bar.

Caravan/trailer towingCarava n and tra iler loads1)

The permissib le caravan/trailer load s a re vehicle a nd engine dependent ma ximum va lues whic h must not be exceeded. The actual caravan/trailer load is the difference between the ac tual gross weig ht of the caravan/trailer and the actual c oupling socket loa d with the ca ra van/trailer coupled . When the caravan/trailer load is being checked, therefore, only the caravan/trailer wheels – and not the jockey wheel – must b e standing on the weighing app aratus.

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

9 Warning

Disreg ard of these notes ca n lead to injuries which may be fatal. Vehicle passengers should be informed according ly .

9 Warning

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

1) Observe n atio nal regulations.


The permissible cara van/trailer load should be fully utilised only by drivers who are adequately experienced in towing large or heavy caravans/trailers.

The permitted caravan/trailer load ap plies up to the specified incline and up to an altitude of 1000 m etres above sea -level. Since engine power decreases as altitude increases because of the air becom ing thinner, therefore reducing climbing ability, the p ermitted towing weig ht a lso decreases by 10% for every 1000 m etres of additional altitude. The towing weight does not have to be reduced when driv ing on roads with slight inclines (less than 8%, e.g. m otorways).

The a ctual caravan/trailer load plus the actual gross vehicle weight of the towing vehic le must not exceed the maximum permitted towing w eight. For example, if the p ermitted gross vehicle w eight is utilised, the trailer/caravan loa d must only be used until the ma ximum permitted towing weight is reached. The m aximum permitted towing w eight is shown on the identification plate – see page 184.

Coupling soc ket load The coupling socket load is the load exerted by the trailer/c aravan on the coupling ball. It can be varied by cha nging the weight distribution when loading the tra iler/ca ra van.

The maxim um perm issible coupling socket loa d (50 kg ) is specified on the towing equipment identification plate and in the vehicle documents. Always a im for the maximum loa d, especially in the case of heavy caravans/trailers. The coupling socket load should never fall below 25 kg .

When m easuring the coupling socket load, make sure that the draw bar of the loaded tra iler/ca ra van is at the same heig ht a s it will be when the trailer/caravan is coupled with the towing vehicle loaded. Particularly important for trailers/caravans with tand em axle.

Rea r axle load during towing The permissible axle loads must not be exc eeded.

Picture no: 9358t.tifTyre p ressure Increase tyre pressure on the towing vehicle to the value specified for a full load (see pages 124, 193). Also check the inflation pressure of the spare wheel and the caravan/trailer wheels.


Picture no: 13228s.t ifDriv ing chara cteristics, tow ing tip s For caravans/trailers with brake, a tta ch the break-away stopping cable to the eye (see arrow in figure).

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

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

Carava ns/trailers w ith LED turn signals must have a provision that makes it possible to monitor standard light bulbs.

Turn signa l control indicator - see page 68.

Handling is greatly influenced by the loa ding of the trailer/caravan. Loads should therefore be secured so that they cannot slip and be p laced in the centre of the trailer/caravan if p ossible, i.e. above the axle.

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

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

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

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

If it is necessary to apply the brakes fully , depress the brake pedal a s hard as possible.

Remem ber that the braking d istance for vehicles towing carava ns/trailers with and without brake is always greater than that for vehic les not tow ing a caravan/trailer.


When driving downhill, towing a caravan/trailer subjects the brakes to a heavier load than norm al. For this reason, select the same gear as when driving uphill and drive at a similar speed.

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

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 gra dients of 10% or more, do not drive faster than 20 mph (30 km /h) in first gear or 30 mp h (50 km/h) in second gear.

Start ing on inclines For vehicles with manual transmission, the most favourable engine speed when starting off on an incline is between 2500 and 3000 rpm for petrol engines and between 2000 and 2500 rpm for diesel engines. Hold engine speed constant, engage clutch gradually (let slip), release ha ndb ra ke and open throttle. If possible, the engine speed should not drop d uring this procedure.

For vehic les with Easytronic 3, it is sufficient to app ly full throttle when in automatic mode.

Before starting off under extreme conditions (high combination weight, mountainous terrain w ith steep inclines), switch off all unnecessary electrical loads such as heated rear wind ow , air conditioning system 3 a nd heated front seats 3 .

Vehicle careWhen caring for your vehicle, observe all nationa l environmental regulations, particularly when washing it.

Regula r, thorough care helps to imp rove the a ppearance of your vehicle and maintain its value over the years. It is also prerequisite for warranty claim s for any paint or corrosion dam age. The following pages contain tip s for vehicle care which, if used properly, w ill help comba t the unavoidable damag ing effects of the env ironment.

Vehicle ca re a ids 3 Vehicle wash: z Wash brush z Car Shampoo z Sp ongez Cham ois Lea therz Engine Cleanerz Glass Clea ner

Vehicle care: z Paintwork Cleaner z Car Polish/Colour Restorerz Car Wax/Sealerz Metallic Paintw ork Wax z Touch-up Applicator z Aerosol and Touch-up Paint z Wheel Preserver z Insect Remover z Window Cleaner z Vauxhall Wind screen Wash Solvent z Silicone Oil for Rubber Seals z De-ic er

Washing The paintwork of your vehicle is exposed to env ironmental influences such as continual climatic chang es, industrial exhaust and dust, and the grit that is scattered onto icy roads, so wash and wax your vehicle regula rly . When using autom atic car washes, select a prog ra mme which includes wax ing .

Bird d ropp ings, dead insec ts, resin, pollen and the like should be cleaned off imm ediately, a s they contain aggressive constituents which can ca use paint dam age.

When using car w ashes, follow the relevant instructions of the car wa sh facility. The windscreen wiper and rear w indow wiper 3 must be sw itc hed off - see pages 11, 83. Remove the antenna rod 3 and the roof rack 3.

If you wash your vehicle by hand, make sure that the insides of the wings are also thoroughly rinsed out.


Clean edges and folds on opened doors and flaps as well as the areas they cover.

Thoroughly rinse off and leather-off the vehic le. R inse leather frequently. Use separate lea thers for pa int a nd window surfaces: remnants of wa x on the windows will impa ir vision.

Observe na tional regulations.

Waxing Wax your vehicle regularly, in particula r after it ha s b een washed using shampoo and at the latest when water no longer forms bead s on the paintwork, otherwise the p aintwork will dry out.

Also wax edges and folds on opened doors and flaps as well as the areas they cover.

Pol ishing Polishing is necessa ry only if the paint has become dull or if solid deposits have become attached to it.

Pa intwork polish with silic one form s a protective film , ma king waxing unnec essary .

Plastic body parts should not be treated with wax a nd polish.

Use Metallic Paintw ork Wa x on vehic les with a metallic-effect paint finish.

Wheels Use a p H-neutral wheel clea ning a gent to clean the wheels.

Wheels are painted a nd can be treated with the sam e agents as the body. For a lloy wheels we recommend use of Alloy Wheel Preserver.

Paintw ork d amag e Repair minor dam age such as stone impa cts, scratches etc. with the touch-up app lic ator or aerosol and touc h-up p aint before rust can form . If rust has already formed , have ca use thereof remedied by a workshop. Please also pay attention to the surfac es a nd edges facing the road, where rust can develop unnotic ed over long period s.

Exterior lights Headlight and other protective light bezels are made of plastic. If they require add itional cleaning after the vehicle has been wa shed , clean them w ith Car Sham poo. Do not use any a brasive or caustic agents, do not use an ice scraper, and d o not clean them dry.


Plastic and rubb er p arts If the car wash does not clean plastic and rubber parts adequately, use cleaner suitab le for vehicle interiors. Do not use any other agent, and in p articular d o not use solvents or petrol.

Do not use high-pressure jet cleaners.

Wheels and tyres Do not use high-pressure jet cleaners.

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

The instrument panel is only to be c leaned with a soft, dam p cloth.

Clean fabric upholstery with a vacuum cleaner and b rush. To rem ove stains, use cleaner that is suita ble for both fab ric s and vinyl.

Do not use cleaners such as acetone, carbon tetra chloride, paint thinner, pa int rem over, na il varnish remover, washing powder or bleach. Petrol is also unsuitable. Open velcro fastening s in your clothing could dam age the seat c ushions. C lose velcro fastenings.

Seat belts Alw ays keep seat belts clean and dry.

Clea n only with lukewarm water or C leaner.

Wind ows When cleaning the heated rear window 3, make sure that the hea ting element on the inside of the window is not dama ged.

Use a soft lint-free c loth or cham ois leather in conjunction with Window Cleaner and Insect Rem over.

Vauxhall Windscreen Wash Solvent is suitable for de-icing windows.

For mechanical rem oval of ice, use a commerc ia lly availab le sharp-edg ed ice scraper. Press the scraper firmly ag ainst the glass so that no dirt c an get under it and scra tch the glass.

Windscreen wiper b lades Wax, such as that used in car w ashes, can cause strea ks to form on the windscreen when the wiper is used.

Smearing wiper blades c an be cleaned with a soft cloth and Vauxhall Wind screen Wash Solvent, and rep la ced if necessary – see page 180.

Locks The locks are lubricated with a high-quality locking cy lind er grease in the fa ctory . Locking cylinder grease prevents the locks from freezing. De-icer must only b e used if unavoidable, since they have a d e-greasing effect and a ffect the operation of the loc ks. Have the locks re-greased in a workshop after using de-ic er.


Eng ine compar tment Clean painted surfaces in the engine compartment like any other p ainted surface.

For best results, wash and wax the eng ine compartment before and after winter. Before washing the engine, cover the alternator and brake fluid reservoir with plastic sheeting.

When washing the engine with a steam-jet cleaner, do not d irect the steam jet at components of the Anti-lock Brake System 3, the automatic air cond itioning system 3 or the b elt drive and its components.

Protective wax tha t has been applied will be rem oved during a n engine w ash. You should therefore have a workshop apply a thorough coating of protective wax to the engine, brake system components in the engine compartment, axle components with steering, body parts and c avities after an eng ine wash.

An engine wash can be performed in the spring in ord er to remove dirt that has adhered to the engine compartment, which may also ha ve a high sa lt content. Check p rotective wax layer and make good if necessary.

Do not use high-pressure jet cleaners.

Underbody Your vehicle has a factory-app lied PVC undercoating in the wheel arches (including the longitudinal mem bers) which prov ides permanent protec tion and needs no special maintenance. The surfaces of the vehicle underbody not covered by PVC are provided with a durable p rotective wax coating in critic al areas.

On vehicles which are washed frequently in autom atic car washes with underbody washing facility, the protective wax coating may b e impaired by d irt-dissolv ing additives, so check the underbody after washing and ha ve it waxed if necessary . Before the start of the cold weather season, check the PVC c oa ting a nd protective wax coating and, if necessary , have them restored to perfect condition.

Caution - c om mercially available bitumen/rubber materials can damage the PVC coating. We recom mend that you ha ve underbody work ca rried out by a workshop, who knows the p rescrib ed ma terials and has experience in the use thereof.

The underbody should be washed following the end of the cold weather season to remove any dirt adhering to the underbody since this may also contain salt. Check p rotective wax c oa ting and , if nec essary , have it restored to perfec t condition.

Picture no: 14419s.tifInspection systemIn 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.

On vehicles with fixed engine oil change and service interval, InSP ap pears in the od om eter disp la y after the ignition is switched on and it is time for servicing: Have the serv ic e work carried out by a workshop within one w eek or 300 miles (500 km).

The service interval display takes account of off-the-road p eriods during which the battery is d isconnected.

For vehicles with flexible oil change and service interva l, the interval is determined by several parameters stemming from how the vehicle is used. For this purpose, va rious engine-specific data is continually record ed in order to calculate the remaining distance before the next service.

The remaining driving d istance can be displayed on the od om eter with the ignition switched off: press trip odometer reset button for ap prox . 2 seconds, InS P and the rem aining d istance is displayed.

If the rema ining d istance is less than 1000 miles (1,500 km), InS P is d isplayed with a remaining distance of 600 miles (1,000 km ) a fter the ignition is sw itc hed on and off. InSP is disp layed for severa l seconds if the remaining distance is less than 600 miles (1,000 km). H ave the nec essary service work carried out within one week or 300 miles (500 km). Entrust this work to a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer in order to avoid loss of w arranty claims.


Further information on maintenance and the inspec tion system can be found in the service booklet, which is in the glove compartment.

Have maintenance work – and rep air work on the b od y and the equipm ent – c arried out professionally b y a w orkshop. We recom mend using your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who has excellent knowled ge of Vauxhall vehicles and has the necessary special tools and up-to-date service instructions from Vauxhall. I t is particularly ad visab le to use a Va uxha ll Authorised Repairer during the warranty period in order to prevent loss of wa rranty. Further information can be found in the Service Booklet.

Separ ate anti-cor rosion service Have this performed at the intervals specified in the serv ic e booklet.

Genuine Vauxhall Parts and Accessories We rec om mend that you use "Genuine Vauxhall Parts and Accessories" a nd conversion p arts ap proved exp ressly for your vehicle type. These parts ha ve undergone spec ia l tests to establish their reliability, safety a nd specific suitability for Vauxhall vehicles. Despite continuous market monitoring, we ca nnot assess or guarantee these attributes for other prod uc ts, even if they have b een granted approval by the releva nt authorities or in some other form.

"Genuine Vauxhall Parts and Accessories" and conversion parts approved by Vauxhall c an be ob tained from your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, w ho c an prov ide com prehensive advice on permitted tec hnical c hanges and ensure correct installation.

Picture no: 17922s.tifA note on safety To avoid injury from moving parts and cab les conduc ting ignition voltage, only carry out engine c om partment checks (e.g. checking brake fluid or engine oil level) when the ignition is switched off.

9 Warning

The cooling fan is controlled by a thermosw itc h and can therefore start unexpectedly even if the ig nition is switched off. Risk of injury .

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


Picture no: 11671s.t ifNever carry out any repairs or adjustm ent and m aintenance work on the vehic le yourself. This especia lly applies to the engine, chassis and safety parts. You may unwittingly infringe the provisions of the law a nd , by not performing the work properly , end ang er yourself and other road users.

Checking and topping up fluids To aid id entific ation, the caps used when topping up engine oil, coolant and w ash fluid as well as the oil dipstick are coloured yellow.

Picture no: 18113s.tifEngine oil Information on eng ine oils is found in the Service Booklet.

Engine oil level and consumpt ion All engines consume eng ine oil for technical rea sons. The engine oil consumption can only be assessed after driving a long distance, and may be above the specified value during the initial sta ge (run-in period). Frequent driving at high revs causes engine oil consumption to increase.

Picture no: 13212s.tifChecking the engine oil level, top ping up engine oilThe engine oil level must be c hecked with the vehicle horizontal and with the eng ine (which must be at operating tempera ture) switched off. Wait a t least five minutes before checking the level to allow the normal engine oil accumulation in the eng ine to drain bac k into the oil pan.

In vehicles with engine oil level check 3, the eng ine oil level is checked autom atically – see page 70. It is particularly ad visa ble to check the eng ine oil level before embarking on a long journey.

9 Warning

Do not allow the engine oil level to drop below the m inimum level!

9 Warning

It is the owner’s resp onsibility to ma intain the correct level of an appropriate quality oil in the engine.


Picture no: 16495s.t ifTo check the engine oil level, wipe off the dipstick and insert it up to the stop ma rk on the handle. Top up engine oil if the level has fallen to the MIN mark.

Engine oil should never pa ss the upp er MAX ma rk on the dipstick. Excess engine oil must b e drained or suctioned out. If the engine oil level is above the MAX mark, there is a danger of engine or catalytic converter dama ge.

The a mount filled must be between the M IN a nd MAX marks – see page 197.

Picture no: 18114s.tifWhen top ping up, use the sam e b ra nd of engine oil that w as used during the previous oil change. Observe the information in the Service Booklet.

When closing the c ap, insert it straight and screw it in all the way.

Capacities – see page 197.

Picture no: 12125s.tifEngine oil change, oi l filter chang e Have the change performed by a workshop when ind icated by the service interva l disp la y.

We recommend that you use g enuine eng ine oil filters.


Picture no: 12126s.t if

Diesel fuel filter On the event of engine oil cha ng e, have fuel filter chec ked for possible w ater residue by a workshop.

Illum ination of A indica tes water in the fuel filter 3.

Have fuel filter checked at shorter intervals if the vehicle is sub jected to extreme op erating c onditions such as high humidity (p rim arily in coastal areas), extremely hig h or low outside temp eratures and substantia lly vary ing daytime and night-tim e temperatures.

Coolant The glycol-ba sed coolant provides exc ellent corrosion protection for the heating and cooling systems as well as antifreeze protection down to approx. -28 °C. It remains in the cooling system throughout the year and need not be c hanged.

Use of certain a ntifreezes c an lead to engine dam age. We therefore rec om mend that you only use approved antifreezes.

Picture no: 11676s.tifAnti freeze a nd corrosion protect ionHave the concentration of the radiator contents tested by a workshop before winter starts. The amount of a ntifreeze must provide protection down to app rox . -28 °C. A lower a ntifreeze concentration will reduc e the amount of protec tion from frost and corrosion. Add antifreeze if necessary.

If c oolant loss is topped up with wa ter, have concentration checked a nd add antifreeze if necessary.

9 Warning

Empty engine oil cans do not belong in the d om estic rubbish. Please comply with the leg al, env ironmenta l and health regulations as regards the disposa l of used oil and engine oil filters.

9 Warning

Antifreeze is a d ang er to health; it must therefore be kept in the original conta iner and out of the reach of children.


Picture no: 13213s.t ifCoola nt level Hardly any losses occur since the cooling system is sealed and it is thus rarely necessary to top up the c oolant.

The c oolant should be a little ab ove the KALT/COLD mark on the expansion tank with a c old cooling system ..

When the engine is hot, the coolant fluid level rises; this falls again as it cools. If it should fall beneath the markKALT/COLD, it must be topped up until it is slightly over the m ark.

Top up antifreez e. I f no antifreeze is available, top up w ith c lean tap water. If tap water is una vailable, distilled water can be used.

After topp ing up with tap water or distilled water, ha ve antifreeze concentration tested a nd add a ntifreeze if necessary. Have cause of coolant loss remed ied by a workshop.

Too low a coolant level can c ause engine damage.

When closing the c ap, insert it straight and screw it in all the way.

Coolant temp era ture If the temperature gauge is in the red zone, coolant temperature is too high. Chec k the coolant level im mediately:

z Coolant level too low:Top up coolant, observing the instructions in "Antifreez e a nd corrosion protection". Ha ve cause of coolant loss remedied by a workshop.

z Coolant level OK:Have cause of increa sed tem perature remedied . Contact a workshop.

9 Warning

Allow engine to cool d ow n before removing coolant filler cap. Remove filler cap c arefully so that pressure c an escape slowly, otherwise there is a risk of scalding.


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

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

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

Regularly check the windsc reen wiper for their clea ning effectiveness. We recommend tha t w iper blades be replac ed at least once a year.

If the windows are dirty, op erate the wind screen wash before switching the wiper on in order to prevent wiper blade wear.

Fuel consumption, CO2-emissions Directive 80/1268/EEC (last c hanged by 2004/3/EC) has applied for the measurement of fuel consumption since 1996.

The direc tive is oriented to actual driving practices: Urba n driving is rated at approx. 1/3 and off-road 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.

All va lues stem from the EU b ase model with standard equipment.

The calculation of fuel consumption as spec ified by directive 2004/3/EC takes acc ount of the vehicle’s kerbweight, 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 282 by num ber of litres/100 km.
