In brief 17 That was a brief overview of the most important information for your first drive in your vehicle. The other pages of this chapter contain a description of some interesting functions in your vehicle. The remaining chapters of the Owner’s Manual contain important information on operation, safety and maintenance as well as a complete index.
18 In brief Airbag system The airbag system consists of several internal systems. Front airbag system The front airbag system will be 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 are thereby substantially reduced.

An external audio source such as a portable CD player can be connected via the AUX input with a 3.5 mm jack plug. When reverse gear is selected, the parking distance sensors switch on automatically.
22 In brief Tyre pressure loss monitoring system (DDS = Deflation Detection System) 3 The Deflation Detection System continuously monitors the speed of all wheels while driving. If a tyre loses pressure, it becomes smaller and therefore rotates more quickly than the other wheels. If the system detects a difference in speed, the control indicator w illuminates in red. After tyre pressure is corrected or a tyre or wheel is changed, the system must be initialised by pressing the DDS button.
In brief 23 Curve lighting The light beam pivots based on steering wheel position and speed, from approx. 6 mph (10 km/h). Turn lighting An additional light throws a beam approx. 90° to the left or right, if the steering-wheel is turned approx. 90°, the turn signal is activated and the speed is below approx. 25 mph (40 km/h). Adaptive Forward Lighting (AFL) 3 AFL ensures better illumination of: z bends (curve lighting), z crossings and narrow bends (turn lighting.
24 In brief 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 automatically while driving. The filter is cleaned by burning the trapped soot particles at a high temperature. There may be an increase in fuel consumption, exhaust smell, and engine cooling fan operation 3 during the self-cleaning operation.
In brief The self-cleaning function will automatically operate while driving after the engine has reached its normal operating temperature. Control indicator ! will continue to flash until the self-cleaning operation is complete. This may take up to 20 minutes of driving. The time will be shorter at higher vehicle speeds. 6 Diesel particle filter – see page 164.

Seats, interior 71 Exception: The front and side airbags for the front passenger’s seat have been deactivated because a child restraint system is mounted on the front passenger’s seat. Deactivation of airbag systems for front passenger’s seat – see page 77. Mounting of Vauxhall child restraint systems – see pages 65, 70. Airbag system Front airbags The front airbag system is identified by the word AIRBAG on the steering wheel and above the glove compartment.
72 Seats, interior When they are deployed, the front airbags inflate within milliseconds to form a safety cushion for the driver and front passenger 3. 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.
Seats, interior 73 9 Warning Seat belts must 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. In the event of an accident the seat belt helps to keep you in the correct seating position, so that the front airbag system can provide you with effective protection.
74 Seats, interior 9 Warning There must be no objects in the area in which the airbag inflates or in the area between the seat backrests and the vehicle body. Do not place the hands or arms on the covers of the airbag systems. Important information – see page 79. The three-point seat belt must always be correctly fitted – see page 64. When triggered, the side airbag inflates within milliseconds to form a safety cushion for the driver or front passenger in the respective door area.

Winter programme T In the event of difficulties starting-off on slippery roads, press button T ("A" and T appear in the transmission display). Easytronic switches to Automatic mode and the vehicle sets off in second gear.
Driving and operation When the engine speed approaches its upper limit, the transmission shifts to a higher gear during kickdown even in Manual mode. Without kickdown this automatic shift is not effected in Manual mode. If the Sport programme is engaged, the driven wheels may spin slightly when starting-off with kickdown. This allows for maximum acceleration of the vehicle.
146 Driving and operation Stopping the vehicle In Automatic or Manual mode, when the vehicle has stopped first gear (with Winter programme engaged, second gear) is engaged automatically and the clutch released. In R reverse remains engaged. A warning buzzer sounds when the driver’s door is opened if the engine is running, a gear is engaged and the footbrake is not depressed. The vehicle creeps if the handbrake is not applied. Move the selector lever to N and apply the handbrake.
Driving and operation 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 clutch as follows; 1. Apply handbrake and switch off ignition. 6. Fit cleaned cap again. The cap must be in full contact with the housing. 2. Open bonnet and engage support. Contact a workshop for assistance immediately. 3. Clean Easytronic around the cap (see Fig.
148 Driving and operation Automatic transmission 3 The automatic transmission permits automatic gearshifting. The engine can only be started when the gear selector is in position P or N. When starting in position N, depress the footbrake or apply the handbrake. After starting the engine, depress the brake before selecting a gear. Do not accelerate whilst selecting a gear. If a gear has been selected and the brake is released, the vehicle will "creep".

Driving and operation 151 Engine braking In order to utilise the engine braking effect when driving downhill, select drive range 3, 2 or, if necessary, 1 in good time. Gear 1 has the greatest braking effect. If gear 1 is selected at too great a speed the transmission remains in 2nd until the shifting point for 1st gear is achieved by braking, for example. Kickdown Depressing the accelerator pedal past the pressure point: depending on the engine speed the transmission shifts to a lower gear.
152 Driving and operation Stopping the vehicle The selector lever can be left in the chosen gear with the engine running. The transmission no longer shifts automatically. Vehicle can continue to be driven. Second gear is not available. Forward gears 1, 3 and 4 must be shifted manually using selector lever: 1 = 1st gear 2 = 3rd gear 3, D = 4th gear When stopping on gradients engage handbrake or depress footbrake.
Driving and operation 153 Re-selecting P locks the system again. Have cause of power supply interruption remedied by a workshop. Interruption of power supply If the vehicle battery is flat, the selector lever cannot be moved out of position P. 3. Push the yellow catch forwards with a screwdriver and move the selector lever out of P. If the battery is flat, start the vehicle using jump leads – see page 206. 4. Mount selector lever trim on centre console and refit.
154 Driving and operation Driving hints The first 600 miles (1000 km) Drive your vehicle at various speeds. Do not use full throttle. Never allow the engine to labour at low revs. Make good use of all gears. Depress the accelerator pedal a maximum of about 3/4 of the available pedal travel in all gears. Do not drive faster than three quarters of maximum speed. Do not brake unnecessarily hard for the first 125 miles (200 km).
Driving and operation Overrun The fuel supply is automatically shut off during overrun, e.g. when the vehicle is being driven downhill or when braking. To enable the overrun cut-off to take effect, do not accelerate during overrun and, with manual transmission, do not depress clutch pedal. To prevent damage to the catalytic converter, overrun cut-off is temporarily deactivated when the catalytic converter temperature is high.
156 Driving and operation Saving fuel, protecting the environment Trend-setting technology Environmentally friendly and mainly recyclable materials were used when your vehicle was being developed and manufactured. The production methods used to make your vehicle are also environmentally-compatible. Recycling of production wastes keeps the circulation of material closed. Reduction of energy and water requirements also helps to conserve natural resources.
Driving and operation 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 155. z To enable the overrun cut-off to come into action and save fuel, do not accelerate or depress clutch pedal during overrun. Correct gear selection z High revs increase engine wear and fuel consumption. z Do not race your engine. Avoid driving at high engine speeds. Making use of the tachometer helps to save fuel.
158 Driving and operation Fuels, refuelling Fuel consumption Fuel consumption is determined under specific driving conditions – see page 272. Special equipment increases the weight of the vehicle. As a result, they can increase fuel consumption and reduce the specified maximum speed. For the first few thousand miles, friction between the engine and transmission components is higher. This increases fuel consumption.
Driving and operation Fuel for diesel engines Diesel engines must be operated only on commercially available diesel fuel meeting the specifications of DIN EN 590. Since January 2004, some oil companies have mixed their diesel fuel with up to 5% Bio fuel (FAME = Fatty Acid Methyl Esters) like RME (Rape-Oil Methyl Ester). This is in accordance with the current DIN EN 590 and does not harm the fuel injection system.
160 Driving and operation With a central locking system with remote control 3, the tank flap is unlocked together with the doors - see page 33. Open tank flap. Unlock the fuel filler cap with the ignition key 3, unscrew, remove and attach to 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 dispensing pump: 1. Fully insert the pump nozzle and switch it on.
Driving and operation Damage to the catalytic converter or the vehicle may result if the following points are not observed: z If you experience misfiring, irregular engine running after a cold start, a significant loss of engine power or other unusual problems that may indicate an ignition system fault, seek assistance from a workshop as soon as possible. If necessary, continue driving for a short time at slow speeds, keeping the engine revs low.
162 Driving and operation Catalytic converter for diesel engines Damage to the catalytic converter or the vehicle may result if the following points are not observed: z If you experience misfiring, a significant loss of engine power or other unusual problems, seek assistance from a workshop as soon as possible. If necessary, continue driving for a short time at slow speeds, keeping the engine revs low.
Driving and operation If it illuminates briefly, but does not recur, it is of no significance. Illumination of A may also indicate that there is water in the diesel fuel filter 3. A text message appears on the service display at the same time – see page 93. Have diesel fuel filter checked for possible presence of water residue – see page 258. If it flashes after the ignition is switched on, there is a fault in the electronic immobiliser system. The engine cannot be started – see page 27.
164 Driving and operation Diesel particle filter 3 The diesel particle filter system removes polluting soot particles out of the engine exhaust gases. The system includes a selfcleaning function that operates automatically while driving. The filter is cleaned by burning the trapped soot particles at a high temperature. There may be an increase in fuel consumption, exhaust smell, and engine cooling fan operation 3 during the self-cleaning operation.
Driving and operation We recommend that you do not turn the ignition off until the self-cleaning operation is complete. If you must turn the ignition off before the operation is complete, then the operation will automatically resume when driving the next time and after the engine has reached its normal operating temperature. Control indicator ! extinguishes as soon as the self-cleaning operation is complete. 165 Maintenance Have all maintenance work carried out at the specified intervals.
166 Driving and operation Drive control systems Electronic Stability Programme (ESP®Plus) 3 Whenever necessary, ESP®Plus improves driving stability in any driving situation regardless of road conditions and tyre grip. It also prevents the drive wheels from spinning regardless of road conditions and tyre grip. The system monitors vehicle movements.
Driving and operation Illuminates while driving: The system is switched off 3 or a fault is present. Continued driving is possible. However, directional control may deteriorate depending on the road surface conditions. 167 9 Warning If the vehicle has run-flat tyres 3 the ESP®Plus must not be deactivated with depressurised tyres. Switch on ESP®Plus again or have cause of fault remedied by a workshop. The selfdiagnosis that is integrated in the system will help you to find a solution quickly.
168 Driving and operation Cruise control 3 Cruise control can store and maintain speeds between 20 and 125 mph (30 and 200 km/h). Deviation from the stored speed may occur when driving up or downhill. With automatic transmission 3, engage cruise control only in D, or with Easytronic 3 only in Automatic mode. For safety reasons the cruise control system cannot be activated until the footbrake has been depressed, otherwise control indicator m flashes.
Driving and operation Increase When cruise control is engaged, turn switch m upwards and hold, or turn briefly several times: continuous or stepwise increasing of the speed in 1.2 mph (2 km/h) increments without touching the accelerator pedal. After releasing, the current speed is stored and maintained. To activate Turn switch m up and release. The current speed is stored and maintained. The accelerator pedal may be released. Vehicle speed can be increased by depressing the accelerator pedal.
170 Driving and operation If the vehicle approaches an obstacle when reversing, a series of signals can be heard in the vehicle interior. The interval between the signals becomes shorter as the distance is reduced. If the distance is less than 30 cm, the signal will be continuous. 9 Warning Parking distance sensors 3 Parking distance sensors make reverse parking easier by measuring the distance between the vehicle and an obstacle in the rear, and giving an acoustic signal in the passenger compartment.
Driving and operation 171 Caravan/trailer towing equipment 3, caravan/trailer towing When towing, parking distance sensors are automatically deactivated when the trailer cable is plugged into the socket. To deactivate The system deactivates automatically when reverse gear is disengaged. If the system is to be switched off with reverse gear selected using the button r, press button r and the LED in the button extinguishes. Fitting rear load racks 3 Rear load racks, e.g.
172 Driving and operation Control indicator illumination w in yellow indicates a fault in the system. Have cause of fault remedied by a workshop. The system’s integrated self diagnostics allow faults to be quickly remedied. Deflation Detection System (DDS) 3 The Deflation Detection System continuously monitors the speed of all wheels while driving. If a tyre loses pressure, it becomes smaller and rotates more quickly than the other wheels.
Driving and operation 9 Warning The Deflation Detection System does not replace manual checks with a suitable gauge. Check tyre pressures 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 3. Tyre pressure – see pages 180, 280. System initialisation After correcting the tyre pressure or changing a tyre/wheel, the system must be initialised: with the ignition switched on, press the DDS button for approx. 4 seconds.
174 Driving and operation Brake system The effectiveness of the brakes is an important factor for traffic safety. To improve effectiveness, do not brake 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 Booklet is therefore of the utmost importance for traffic safety. Have worn brake pads replaced by a workshop.
Driving and operation Footbrake The footbrake comprises two independent brake circuits. If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can still be braked using the other brake circuit. However, the footbrake must be depressed a considerable way before any braking effect occurs, and much more force is required. The braking distance will be longer. Contact a workshop for assistance before continuing to drive.
176 Driving and operation Anti-lock Brake System (ABS u) ABS continually monitors the brake system and prevents the wheels from locking regardless of the type of road surface or tyre grip. Brake system control indicator R The control indicator illuminates when the ignition is switched on if the handbrake is applied or if the brake or clutch fluid level is too low. Brake fluid – see page 260.
Driving and operation Fault 9 Warning If there is a fault in ABS, the wheels may be subject to locking due to braking that is heavier than normal. The advantages of ABS are no longer operational. You can continue driving, provided you drive with care and anticipation. Control indicator u for ABS It illuminates for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on. Once the control indicator extinguishes, the system is ready for operation.
178 Driving and operation Wheels, tyres See page 280 for suitable tyres and restrictions. Tyres fitted in the factory are adapted to the chassis and provide optimum driving comfort and safety. Changing tyre/wheel type Please note the following changes before converting to different tyres or wheels. If tyres of a different size than those fitted at the factory are used, the electronic speedometer may require reprogramming to ensure that the correct speed is displayed.
Driving and operation Fitting new tyres Fit tyres in pairs or in sets, which is even better. Ensure that tyres on one axle are: z the same size 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 (e.g. when a tyre is changed) should be refitted as soon as possible.
180 Driving and operation Tyre pressure – see page 280. Do not reduce tyre pressure when the tyres are warm. Otherwise the pressure may drop below the permissible minimum when the tyres cool down. After having checked the tyre pressure, tighten the valve caps using the valve cap key. Tyre pressure Check tyre pressure, 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 3.
Driving and operation 181 Examine tyres for damage at regular intervals (penetration by foreign bodies, punctures, cuts, tears, bulges in sidewalls). Examine wheels for damage. Contact a workshop in the event of damage or unusual wear. 9 Warning Damage may lead to tyre blow-out. Tyre condition, wheel condition Drive over edges slowly and at a right angle if possible. Driving over sharp edges can lead to hidden tyre damage and wheel damage which is only noticed later on.
182 Driving and operation 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 with care. The legally permissible minimum tread depth (1.6 mm) has been reached when the tread has worn down as far as one of the wear indicators (TWI1)). A number of wear indicators are spaced at equal intervals around the tyre within the tread.
Driving and operation Run-flat tyres (RFT) 3 Run-flat tyres have reinforced, selfsupporting sidewalls, which ensure that the tyres always have a certain amount of driveability, even when there is no pressure. Driving with a damaged tyre The deflation of a tyre is displayed via the Deflation Detection System 3. Winter tyres 3 For notes on fitting new tyres – see page 178. Restrictions – see pages 183, 280.
184 Driving and operation Wheel covers 3 If the wheel trims and tyres used are not Vauxhall-approved, make sure that the tyres do not have a beaded edge – see page 179. Wheel trim on steel wheels could come into contact with parts of the chain and be damaged. Remove the wheel trim – see page 215.

200 Driving and operation Caravan/trailer towing Caravan and trailer loads1) The permissible caravan/trailer loads are vehicle-dependent 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.
Driving and operation Coupling socket load The coupling socket load is the load exerted by the caravan/trailer on the coupling ball. It can be varied by changing the weight distribution when loading the caravan/trailer. The maximum permitted coupling socket load (vehicles with engine Z 12 XEP1): 45 kg, other versions: 55 kg) of the towing vehicle is noted on the identification plate of the trailer towing device and specified in the vehicle documents.
202 Driving and operation Trailers with LED turn signals must have a provision that enables light monitoring, as with commercial bulbs. Do not drive faster than 50 mph (80 km/h) if possible, even in countries where higher speeds are permitted. Turn signal control indicator – see page 89. Make sure that you have enough room when cornering and avoid sudden manoeuvres. Parking distance sensors 3 are deactivated when towing. Handling is greatly influenced by the loading of the caravan/trailer.
Driving and operation When driving downhill, the brakes are under considerably more load when towing a caravan/trailer. For this reason, drive in the same gear as if driving uphill and drive at a similar speed. Automatic transmission 3 or Easytronic 3 in Automatic mode will automatically select the driving programme with the optimum engine braking effect. The gears can be selected manually if required. The cooling fan is electrically operated. Its cooling power is therefore independent of the engine speed.

Self-help, vehicle care Vehicle care When caring for your vehicle, observe all national environmental regulations, particularly when washing it. Regular, thorough care helps to improve the appearance of your vehicle and maintain its value over the years. It is also a prerequisite for warranty claims for any paint or corrosion damage. The following pages contain tips for vehicle care which, if used properly, will help combat the unavoidable, damaging effects of the environment.
248 Self-help, vehicle care 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 vehicle. Rinse leather frequently. Use separate leathers for paint and window surfaces: remnants of wax on the windows will impair vision.
Self-help, vehicle care Exterior lights Headlight and other protective light bezels are made of plastic. If they require additional cleaning after the vehicle has been washed, clean them with Car Shampoo. Do not use any abrasive or caustic agents, do not use an ice scraper, and do not clean them dry. Plastic and rubber parts For additional cleaning of plastic and rubber parts use Interior/Upholstery Cleaner. Do not use any other agent, and in particular do not use solvents or petrol.
250 Self-help, vehicle care Windscreen wiper blades Wax, such as that used in car washes, can cause streaks to form on the windscreen when the wiper is used. Engine compartment Clean painted surfaces in the engine compartment like any other painted surface. Smearing wiper blades can be cleaned with a soft cloth and Vauxhall Windscreen Wash Solvent, and replaced if necessary – see page 261. It is advisable to wash the engine compartment before and after winter and preserve it with wax.
Self-help, vehicle care Underbody Your vehicle has a factory-applied PVC undercoating in the wheel arches (including the longitudinal sides of the underbody) which provides permanent protection and needs no special maintenance. Caution - commercially available bitumen/ rubber materials can damage the PVC coating. We recommend that you have underbody work carried out by a workshop, who knows the prescribed materials and has experience in the use thereof.

For this purpose, various engine-specific data is continually recorded in order to calculate the remaining distance before the next service.
Service, maintenance Have maintenance work – and repair work on the body and the equipment – carried out professionally by a workshop. We recommend using your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who has excellent knowledge of Vauxhall vehicles and has the necessary special tools and up-to-date Service Instructions from Vauxhall. It is particularly advisable to use a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer during the warranty period in order to prevent loss of warranty.
256 Service, maintenance Never carry out any repairs or adjustment and maintenance work on the vehicle yourself. This especially applies to the engine, chassis and safety parts. You may unwittingly infringe the provisions of the law and, by not performing the work properly, endanger yourself and other road users. Checking and topping up fluids To aid identification, the caps to be removed for topping up engine oil, coolant and wash fluid and the dipstick handle may be coloured yellow.
Service, maintenance In vehicles with engine oil level check 3, the engine oil level is checked automatically1) see page 88. It is particularly advisable to check the engine oil level before embarking on a long journey. Checking the engine oil level, topping up engine oil The oil level must be checked with the vehicle on a level surface and with the engine (which must be at operating temperature) switched off.
258 Service, maintenance Engine oil change, oil filter change Have the change performed by a workshop when indicated by the service interval display. Diesel fuel filter 3 We recommend that you use genuine Vauxhall engine oil filters. Illumination of control indicator A indicates water in the diesel fuel filter. 9 Warning Empty engine oil cans do not belong in the domestic rubbish.
Service, maintenance 259 Coolant The glycol-based coolant provides excellent corrosion protection for the heating and cooling systems as well as anti-freeze protection down to –28 °C. It remains in the cooling system throughout the year and need not be changed. Use of certain anti-freezes can lead to engine damage. We therefore recommend that you only use approved anti-freezes.
260 Service, maintenance When the engine is hot, the coolant level rises; this falls again as it cools. If it should fall beneath the KALT/COLD mark, you must top it up until it is slightly over the mark. Top up anti-freeze. If no anti-freeze is available, top up with clean tap water. If tap water is unavailable, distilled water can be used. After topping up with tap water or distilled water, have anti-freeze concentration tested and add anti-freeze if necessary.
Service, maintenance The use of certain brake fluids can cause damage or make the brakes less effective. We therefore recommend that you only use approved high-performance brake fluid. When topping up, ensure maximum cleanliness as contamination of the brake fluid can lead to function problems in the braking system. After correcting the brake fluid level, have the cause of the loss of brake fluid remedied by a workshop. Brake fluid change Brake fluid is hygroscopic, i.e. it absorbs water.
262 Service, maintenance To ensure proper operation of the rain sensor 3, the sensor area must be free from dust, dirt and ice, which is why the windscreen wash system must be operated at regular intervals and the sensor area de-iced. Vehicles with a rain sensor 3 can be identified by the sensor area near the top of the windscreen. Service setting for front windscreen wiper (e.g. for changing or cleaning the front wiper blades).
Service, maintenance 263 The windscreen wash system remains frost-free in winter: Frost protection down to - 5 °C - 10 °C - 20 °C - 30 °C Wiper blade on the rear window 3 Lift wiper arm. Disengage wiper blade as shown in illustration and remove. Windscreen wash system Filler neck of the reservoir for the windscreen wash system is located at the front of the engine compartment, in front of the battery. Capacities – see page 284. Fill only with clean water, to prevent the nozzles from clogging.
264 Service, maintenance Laying up the vehicle for more than 4 weeks can lead to battery discharge, which may reduce the service life of the battery. Disconnect battery from on-board power supply by detaching negative terminal. The Vauxhall alarm system 3 siren must be deactivated as follows: switch the ignition on then off, disconnect the vehicle’s battery within 15 seconds. Battery The battery is maintenance free. 9 Warning Have the battery change performed by a workshop.
Service, maintenance 265 Protecting electronic components Vehicle decommissioning In order to prevent faults in electronic components in the electrical system, never connect or disconnect battery with the engine running or ignition switched on. Never start engine with battery disconnected, e.g. when starting using jump leads. Observe national regulations. To avoid damaging the vehicle, do not make any modifications to the electrical system, e.g.
