Front airbag system The front airbag system is triggered in the event of a serious accident 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 and head thereby substantially reduced.
Examples of events triggering the front airbag system: z Impact against a non-yielding obstacle: the front airbags are triggered at low vehicle speed. z Impact against a yielding obstacle (such as another vehicle): the front airbags are only triggered at a higher vehicle speed. Vauxhall Full Size airbag systems 3 Front airbag The front airbag system is identified by the word AIRBAG on the steering wheel and above the glove compartment.
When triggered, the front airbags inflate in milliseconds to form a safety cushion for the driver and front passenger. The forward movement of the front seat occupants is checked, thereby substantially reducing the risk of injury to the upper body and head. No impairment of view will occur, because the airbags inflate and deflate so quickly.
Seat belts must therefore always be worn. The front airbag system serves to supplement the three-point seat belts. If you do not wear your seat belt you risk being seriously injured, or even thrown from the vehicle, in the event of an accident. The belt helps to k eep you in the correct seating position, in which the front airbag system will provide you with effective protection in the event of an accident.
The side airbags will not be triggered in the event of z the ignition being switched off z frontal collisions z accidents in which the vehicle overturns z collisions involving a rear impact z collisions involving a side impact outside the passenger cell.
Seat occupancy r ecognition 3 The seat occupancy recognition system deactivates the front and side airbags for the front passenger if the front passenger's seat is not occupied or a Vauxhall child restraint system with transponders 3 is fitted on the front passenger's seat. The control indicator for seat occupancy recognition is located in the courtesy lamp. If this control indicator lights up after the ignition is switched on for approx.
If the child restraint system is not fitted correctly or the transponders are faulty, the control indicator flashes. Check that the child restraint system is fitted correctly. Fitting the child restraint system with transponders 3 – see pages 94 to 95. If the control indicator flashes when the child restraint system has been fitted correctly, there is a fault in the system. The child is at risk. Fit the child restraint system on the rear seat. To have the fault rectified, consult a Vauxhall Dealership.
Impor tant z Accessories not released for your vehicle type and other objects must not be affixed or placed in the area in w hich the airbags inflate, as they could cause injury when the airbags are triggered. z Do not place any objects between the airbag systems and the vehicle occupants; danger of injury. z The electronics controlling the airbag systems and the belt tensioners are located in the centre console.

Electronic air conditioning system Electronic air conditioning system The electronic air conditioning system provides maximum comfort under any weather conditions, at any outside temperature and at all times of the year. To ensure a constant and comfortable climate in the vehicle, the temperature of the inflowing air, the air-flow rate and the air distribution are changed automatically according to climatic conditions outside the vehicle.
Preselected temper ature Using the knobs, preselected temperatures can be set to values between 16 ° C and 28 °C. For the sak e of comfort, only change the preselected temperature in small steps. If a temperature below 16 ° C is set, LO appears in the display: the electronic air conditioning system runs constantly with maximum cooling. The temperature is not regulated. Automatic mode Basic setting for max imum comfort: z Press AUTO button. z Open all front air vents.
Air vents All air vents (except the rear air vents 3) are controlled automatically in automatic mode. The front air vents should therefore always be open: turn the knurled wheels upwards. The air vents are located to the left and right of the instrument panel and above the controls for the electronic air conditioning system. Those for the rear passengers are located in the centre console between the front seats. 128 The air flow can be directed as desired by tilting and swivelling the fins.
Manual settings Under certain circumstances (e.g. iced-up or misted-up window s), the functions of the electronic air conditioning system can be influenced manually. Manual settings are stored w hen the ignition is switched off. Mak e manual settings as follows when necessary: 6 Air re-circulation mode The air re- circulation system prevents the entry of outside air and the air in the passenger compartment is re-circulated.

In order to ensure continuously efficient performance of the electronic air conditioning system it must be switched on once a month for a few minutes, irrespective of the weather and time of year, with the cooling (cooling compressor) operational.
Automatic Transmission After starting the engine, press brake before selecting a gear. After a gear has been selected and brak e has been released, the vehicle "creeps". Never operate accelerator and brake at same time. Disregard of these instructions may lead to injuries or endanger life. Once D has been selected, the economy driving programme is operative. P osition D is generally ideal for driving.
The engine can only be started with the selector lever in position P or N. If N is engaged, depress the foot brake or engage the hand brake before starting. Gear selector positions D, 4, 3, 2 on vehicles with diesel engine Y 25 DT 1 ) Do not accelerate during the selection procedure. D Drive position for normal driving conditions in first to fifth gear. 4 Drive position for driving conditions in first, second, third and fourth gear. 3 Drive position for first, second and third gear, e.g.
z By means of delayed shifting (higher engine speeds) following a cold start, the operating temperature programme quickly and automatically brings the catalytic converter to the temperature required for optimum pollutant reduction. z Adaptive programmes automatically prevent undesired shifting between the high gears, e.g. if the vehicle is tow ing a caravan/trailer, has a high payload, or is being driven on inclines.
Engine braking To utilize the engine braking effect, select a lower gear in good time when driving downhill. Braking is most effective in the lowest gear. If a gear is selected at too high a speed, the transmission remains in the relevant gear until the shift point is reached, e.g. as a result of deceleration. Stopping the vehicle The selector lever can be left in the chosen gear with the engine running.
The transmission no longer shifts automatically. Vehicles with petrol engine Driving can be continued. Second gear is not available: 1 2 3 D N R P Manoeuvring the vehicle Fault To manoeuvre the vehicle back and forth during attempts to park or in garage entrances, the vehicle's creeping movement can be utilized by releasing the brak e pedal. Control indicator A illuminates when the ignition is switched on.
Vehicles with diesel engine Y 25 DT 1) Driving can be continued. If the fault occurs while driving, the vehicle will only run in fifth gear. When the engine is restarted fourth and fifth gear are available: 2 3 4 D N R P = = = = = = = 4th gear 4th gear 4th gear 5th gear Neutral position Reverse gear Park position To have the fault rectified, consult a Vauxhall Dealership. The system's integral selfdiagnosis facility allows faults to be quickly remedied.
Driving hints The first 600 miles/1000 km Power steering Drive your vehicle at various speeds. Do not use full throttle. Never allow the engine to labour at low revs. If the power steering should fail – e.g. when the vehicle is being towed with the engine switched off – the vehicle can still be steered but considerably greater effort is necessary. Make good use of all gears. Depress the accelerator pedal a maximum of around three quarters of the available pedal travel in all gears.
Switching off the engine Engine rpm Clutch operation When you switch off, fans in the engine compartment may continue running for a time to cool the engine. Drive in a favourable engine speed range under all driving conditions. Always depress the clutch pedal hard to the floor to prevent shifting difficulties and transmission damage. If the engine temperature is very high, e.g.
Saving Fuel Warming up Idling z Driving at full throttle or idling while the engine is still cold increases engine wear and fuel consumption. z The engine also consumes fuel when idling. z Drive off immediately after starting. Warm up the engine by running it at moderate engine speeds. Uniform speed z Hectic driving significantly increases fuel consumption. z Do not accelerate and brake unnecessarily. Drive as often as possible in top gear.
Urban traffic Tyre inflation pressure Roof racks, ski-holders z Frequent driving off and stopping – for example at traffic lights, in stop- and-go traffic or traffic queues – greatly increases average fuel consumption. z Inadequate tyre pressure, leading to higher road resistance, costs money in two ways: for more fuel and increased tyre wear. z Roof racks and ski-holders can increase fuel consumption by approx. 1 l/100 km due to the increased air resistance. z Regular checks (every 14 days) pay off.
Environmental Protection The advanced design makes it easier to dismantle the vehicle at the end of its service life and separate materials for recycling. Materials such as asbestos and cadmium are not used. The refrigerant in the electronic air conditioning system is CFC-free. New painting techniques employ water as a solvent. When developing and manufacturing your vehicle, Vauxhall used environment-friendly and in the main recyclable materials.
Uniform speed High speed The first 600 miles/1000 km z Hectic driving significantly increases noise and exhaust emissions. z At top speed you cause ex cessive noise. As speed increases, so does tyre and wind noise. In top gear, tyre noise determines the level of driving noise from speeds as low as 45 mph (70 km/h). A vehicle travelling at 90 mph (150 km/h) causes just as much noise as four vehicles travelling at 60 mph (100 km/h) or ten vehicles travelling at 45 mph ( 70 km/h).
Fuel Consumption, Fuel, Refuelling Fuel for petrol engines Fuel for diesel engines Commercially available high- quality fuels are suitable (catalytic converter, see page 148, octane numbers, see pages 216, 217). Fuel quality has a decisive influence on the power output, running quality and service life of the engine. The additives contained in the fuel play an important role in this regard. You should therefore only use high- quality fuels containing additives.
Refuelling Care must be taken when handling fuel. Before refuelling, switch off engine and any external heaters with combustion chambers before refuelling. S witch mobile phones off. Petrol is flammable and explosive. Therefore avoid handling fuel near naked flames and doing anything that would generate sparks. No smok ing! This also applies where the smell of petrol is noticeable.
Catalytic Converter, Exhaust Emissions Damage to the catalytic converter or the vehicle may result if the follow ing points are not observed: z Consult a Vaux hall Dealership as quickly as possible in the event of misfiring, irregular engine running following a cold start, a significant loss of engine power or other unusual malfunctions which may indicate a fault in the ignition system. I f necessary, driving may be continued for a short time at a low speed and with a low engine speed.
z If the control indicator for exhaust emission Z flashes, lift your foot off the accelerator until the indicator stops flashing and is steadily lit. Consult a Vauxhall Dealership immediately. Control indicator Z for ex haust emission – see page 150.
If it lights up briefly and then goes out again this is of no significance. If it flashes when the ignition is on there is a fault in the immobilizer system – see page 51. Control indicator Z for exhaust emission Lights up when ignition is switched on and remains illuminated during starting. Goes out shortly after engine starts. If it lights up when the engine is running there is a fault in the emission control system. The permissible emission limits may be exceeded.
Avoid inhaling exhaust gases! Engine ex haust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide, which has no colour or odour and can be fatal if inhaled. If at any time you suspect that exhaust fumes are entering the vehicle, open the windows and consult a Vauxhall Dealership. When the vehicle is driven for the first time, wax and oil on the exhaust system may evaporate, producing smoke-like emissions which should not be inhaled. Allow wax and oil to evaporate while the vehicle is in the open air. A void inhaling.
Drive Control Systems Traction Control system (TC) 3 The TC (Traction Control) system 3 prevents the driving wheels from spinning, irrespective of the road condition and tyre grip. The system monitors the rotational speed of all wheels. As soon as at least one driving wheel starts to spin, the engine output is reduced (the sound of the engine changes) and the spinning wheel is braked.
Lit during driving: Fault in TC system. Vehicle can continue to be driven. Driving stability may be worse if driving style is not adapted, depending on acceleration and type of road surface because of drive wheel spinning. To have the fault rectified, consult a Vauxhall Dealership. The system's integral selfdiagnosis facility allows faults to be quickly remedied. Switching off the TC In certain circumstances where slippage of the driving wheels is required, i.e.
Electronic Stability Program (ESP) 3 The ES P (Electronic Stability Program) 3 improves vehicle stability as required, irrespective of road surface conditions and tyre grip in all driving and traffic conditions. It also incorporates the functions of the Traction Control system. The system monitors vehicle movements. As soon as the vehicle starts to sw erve (understeers/oversteers) engine output is reduced (the sound of the engine changes) and individual wheels are specifically braked.
Lit during driving: Fault in ESP system. Vehicle can continue to be driven. However, driving stability may worsen depending on type of road surface. To have the fault rectified, consult a Vauxhall Dealership. The system's integral selfdiagnosis facility allow s faults to be quickly remedied. Control indicator v Lights up for a few seconds when ignition is switched on. The system is now ready for operation. Flashing during driving: This shows the system has come into action.
The automatic level control system responds – when the ignition is on – only if there are at least three people (Estate: five people) in the vehicle. It prevents the level at the rear of the vehicle from dropping further when the vehicle is more heavily laden. Headlamp range adjustment – see page 118. In the event of malfunctions, do not utilize the vehicle's full load capacity. Have the cause eliminated without delay by a Vauxhall Dealership.
Reduce 3 With cruise control active, hold down button R or tap it repeatedly: the speed is reduced continuously or in steps of 1.2 mph (2 km/h). Cruise control 3 This feature makes it possible to store and maintain a constant speed above approx. 20 mph (30 km/h) up to almost maximum speed. The current speed is stored and saved after the R button has been released. The cruise control is operated with the buttons I, R and O on the turn signal lever.
Towi ng equipment 3, carav an/trailer towing If towing equipment is fitted on the vehicle, the system must be set to the appropriate vehicle length by a Vauxhall Dealership. Parking distance sensors 3 The parking distance sensors system makes reverse parking easier by measuring the distance between the rear of the vehicle and an obstacle, and warning you with an acoustic signal in the passenger compartment.
Brakes Brake system The brakes are an important factor for traffic safety. In the interest of effectiveness, do not brake unnecessarily hard during the first 120 miles (200 km) after new disc brake pads have been fitted. Wear of the brake pads must not exceed a certain limit. Regular maintenance as detailed in the Service Booklet is therefore of the utmost importance for traffic safety.
Foot br ake The foot brake comprises two separate brak e circuits. If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can still be braked using the other brake circuit. However, in this case the braking effect does not occur until the pedal is depressed a long way. Considerable force must also be used. The braking distance increases. Obtain the assistance of a Vaux hall Dealership before continuing to drive.
Hand brake Always apply hand brake firmly. On slopes apply the hand brake as firmly as possible. The mechanical hand brak e acts on the brakes on the rear wheels. It engages automatically when applied. During normal braking processes the hand brake, which is separated from the foot brake system, is not actuated. There is thus no selfcleaning. From time to time, therefore, drive slowly for approx. 300 metres with the hand brake slightly applied.
ABS u The Anti- lock Brake System (ABS ) 3 continuously monitors the vehicle’s brake system and prevents the wheels from locking, regardless of the road condition and tyre grip. It starts to regulate the braking pressure as soon as a wheel shows a tendency to lock. The vehicle remains steerable, even in the event of very heavy braking, for instance on bends or when swerving to avoid an obstacle.
If there is a fault in the ABS , the rear wheels may tend to lock in the event of unusually heavy braking. This may cause the vehicle to swerve. The benefits of the ABS are lost. To have the fault rectified, consult a Vauxhall Dealership. The system's integral selfdiagnosis facility allows faults to be quickly remedied. You can continue driving, provided you drive with care and anticipation. Control indicator u for ABS When the ignition is sw itched on, the control indicator lights up for a few seconds.
Wheels, Tyres Tyres See page 225 for suitable tyres and restrictions. Factory-fitted tyres are matched to the chassis and offer optimum driving comfort and safety. Omega with tyre size 235/45 R 17 3 The spare wheel is fitted with a smaller tyre on a steel rim. It may only be used as a temporary spare wheel. For notes on the temporary spare wheel – see page 181.
Tyre inflation pressure Check tyre pressures, including the spare wheel, at least every 14 days and prior to any long journey; the tyres should be checked when cold. Don't forget to check the spare. Use the valve cap key to make unscrewing the valve caps easier. I t is located in the glove compartment. Tyre pressures, see pages 225, 226. Do not reduce tyre pressure when the tyres are w arm. Otherwise the pressure may drop below the permissible minimum when the tyres cool down.
General information z The danger of aquaplaning is greater if the tyres are worn. z Tyres age, even if they are used only very little or not at all. A spare wheel which has not been used for six years should be used only in emergencies; drive slowly w hen using such tyres. z Never fit used tyres the previous history and use of which you do not k now. z So as not to impair brake cooling, use only wheel covers approved for use on your vehicle. Tread depth Check tread depth regularly.
Wheel covers on steel wheels may come into contact with parts of the chains. In such cases, remove the wheel covers – see page 181. Winter tyres For notes on fitting new tyres, see page 164. See page 225 for restrictions. Winter tyres (M+S tyres) improve safety and should therefore be fitted on all wheels.
Roof Racks, Caravan and Trailer Towing Towing equipment 3 Roof racks 3 For safety reasons and to avoid damaging the roof, use only the Vauxhall roof rack system released by Vauxhall for the Omega from January 1994 onwards, which is available from any Vauxhall Dealership. Driving hints – see page 140. Installation of towing equipment should be carried out by a Vauxhall Dealership, who can inform you about possible increases in the caravan/trailer load.
Hold rear end of coupling ball bar below coupling ball. Insert front end of coupling ball bar into coupling housing ( 1) and swivel rear end upwards (2) until coupling ball bar engages audibly in coupling housing. Locking button on left-hand side of coupling ball bar must project visibly once coupling ball bar has engaged (Fig. 7461 V). If the locking button is not projecting visibly, repeat the procedure. Consult a Vauxhall Dealership if necessary.
Seal coupling housing with protective cap. On Saloon, pull electrical socket downwards and fold up. Do not use steam-jet cleaners or other highpressure cleaners to clean the coupling ball bar. 170 Stowage of coupling ball bar Stow the coupling ball bar in the luggage compartment. Saloon Stow coupling ball bar behind the warning triangle on the right-hand side of the luggage compartment above the wheel housing, fixing it in place by a wing screw.
Caravan/trailer loads1 ) The permissible caravan/trailer loads are vehicle and engine-dependent maximum values which must not be exceeded. The actual caravan/trailer load is the difference between the actual gross weight of the caravan/trailer and the actual coupling socket load with the caravan/trailer coupled. When the caravan/trailer load is being checked, therefore, only the caravan/trailer wheels – and not the jockey wheel – must be standing on the weighing apparatus.
Genuine Vauxhall A ccessories which can be subsequently fitted aid trailer operation, e.g. large mirrors for wide caravans/trailers. When pulling trailers whose stability on the road is low, speeds should be kept below 50 mph (80 km/h); the use of a stabiliser is recommended to damp snaking. Do not drive faster than 50 mph (80 km/h) if possible, even in countries w here higher speeds are permitted. Mak e sure that you have enough room when cornering and avoid sudden manoeuvres.
For this reason, when driving uphill do not shift down into a low gear whenever the vehicle can still climb the hill in the higher gear. Keep engine speed constant, engage the clutch gradually (let slip), release the brake and open the throttle. If possible, engine speed should not drop during this procedure. Diesel engine: On gradients of 8 % or more, do not drive faster than 20 mph (30 km/h) in first gear or 30 mph (50 k m/h) in second gear.
Self-Help Diesel engine Y 25 DT1) : If the tank has become completely empty, to automatically bleed the fuel system after refuelling turn on the ignition for approx. 1 minute before actually starting the engine. Do not start with quick charger This prevents damage to electronic components. Do not start by pushing or towing Because your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter, it must not be started by pushing or towing.
z Do not connect leads to negative terminal of discharged battery! z The connection point should be as far away from the discharged battery as possible. z Route the leads so that they cannot catch on rotating parts in the engine compartment. z Do not disconnect the discharged battery from the vehicle.

Maintenance, Inspection System 198 In order to guarantee economical and safe vehicle operation and to maintain the value of your vehicle it is of vital importance that all maintenance work is carried out at the proper intervals as specified by Vauxhall. Further information on maintenance and the inspection system can be found in the service booklet, which is in the glove compartment.
Checking and topping up fluids To aid identification, the engine oil filler cap, the coolant expansion tank cap, the lid of the fluid container for the windscreen wash system and headlamp wash system and the handle of the oil dipstick may be coloured yellow. Engine oil The engine oils mentioned on page 214 are particularly suitable for the engine. These high-quality oils are suitable for summer and winter operation.
Engine oil level, engine oil consumption It is normal for every engine to consume some oil. Engine oil consumption cannot be reliably ascertained until the vehicle has covered a substantial mileage. In the running-in phase it may be above the specified level. Frequent running at high engine speeds increases oil consumption. For this reason the engine oil level should be checked every 600 miles (1,000 km) or before starting a long trip.
Pay attention to instructions and table on page 214. Capacities, see page 228. The oil consumption w ill not stabilize until the vehicle has been driven several thousand miles. Only then can the actual rate of consumption be established. Oil change, oil filter change Engine oil changes are to be carried out depending on time intervals or mileage intervals, since oil loses its lubrication properties not only through engine operation but also through ageing. Use genuine Vauxhall oil filters.
The filter is drained as soon as diesel emerges from the knurled screw at the bottom. Retighten the two screws. Never allow the fuel filter to run dry! If the tank runs dry, a complicated procedure is necessary to bleed the fuel system. Consult a Vauxhall Dealership – see page 174.
Top up anti-freeze. If no anti-freeze is available, top up with clean tap w ater. If tap water is unavailable, distilled water can be used. After topping up w ith tap or distilled water, have the anti-freeze concentration checked, and anti-freeze added if necessary, by a Vauxhall Dealership. Have the cause of the coolant loss remedied. When closing, tighten coolant filler cap as far as it will go.
After correcting the brak e fluid level, have the cause of the loss remedied by a Vauxhall Dealership. Brake fluid change Brake fluid is hygroscopic, i.e. absorbs water. If the brakes become warm, e.g. when driving down a long incline, vapour bubbles could form and impair braking pow er. The fluid change intervals specified in the Service Booklet must therefore be observed. Brake fluid Brake fluid level Caution – brak e fluid is poisonous and corrosive.
If the wipers become frozen onto the glass, they should be released with the aid of Vauxhall De-icer Spray. Clean smearing wiper blades with a soft cloth and Vauxhall Windscreen wash solvent. Wiper blades whose lips have become hardened, cracked or covered with silicone must be replaced. This may be necessary as a result of the effects of ice, thawing salt or heat, or the incorrect use of cleaning agents.
The windscreen wash system and headlamp wash system w ill not freeze in winter: Frost protection down to – 5 –10 –20 –30 °C °C °C °C Mixture Vauxhall Windscreen wash solvent : Water . 1 :3 1 :2 1 :1 2 :1 When closing the container, press the lid firmly over the beaded edge all the way round.
If the vehicle is not used for more than 4 weeks, the battery could become discharged. This could shorten the service life of the battery. The battery should therefore be disconnected from the vehicle by disconnecting the negative terminal (Vauxhall alarm system is disabled). The radio lock 3 must be deactivated; see radio operating instructions. The stored values of the trip computer will be lost. Reconnect the battery only with the ignition switched off.
Vehicle decommissioning Observe national regulations. If the vehicle is to be taken off the road for a period of several months, have the following work carried out by a Vauxhall Dealership to ensure that no damage occurs: z Wash and preserve the vehicle – see page 210. z Check preservation in engine compartment and on underbody and rectify where necessary. z Clean and preserve rubber seals on bonnet and doors. z Change engine oil – see page 201. z Check anti-freeze and corrosion protection – see page 203.
Vehicle Care Consult a Vauxhall Dealership with regard to care aids tested and recommended by Vauxhall. In caring for your vehicle observe all national environmental regulations, particularly w hen washing your vehicle. Regular, thorough care helps to improve the appearance of your vehicle and maintain its value over the years. It is also prerequisite for warranty claims for any paint or corrosion damage.
Washing The paintwork of your vehicle is exposed to environmental influences, e.g. continuous changes in weather conditions, industrial waste gases and dust or thawing salts, so wash and wax your vehicle regularly. When using automatic car washes, select a programme which includes waxing. Bird droppings, dead insects, resin, pollen and other contaminates should be cleaned off immediately, as they can contain aggressive constituents which can cause paint damage.
Paintwork damage Plastic and rubber parts Minor paint damage such as stone chips, scratches, etc. should be treated immediately with Vauxhall Touch-Up Paint or A erosol before corrosion can form. If corrosion has already formed, consult a Vauxhall Dealership. Do not forget the surfaces and edges nearest to the road where rust may also form unnoticed. For additional cleaning of plastic and rubber parts use cleaner. Do not use any other agent, and in particular do not use solvents or petrol.
Windscreen wiper blades Smearing wiper blades should be cleaned with a soft cloth and Vaux hall Windscreen wash solvent. Replace them if necessary; see page 204. Locks Before they leave the factory, the locks are lubricated with a high-grade lock cylinder grease. Vauxhall lock cylinder grease prevents the locks from freezing up. Use de-icing agents only in emergencies, as they have a degreasing effect and will impair the function of the lock s. After using de- icing agents re-grease the locks.
