Vauxhall Full Size Airbag s yste m The Vauxhall Full Size Airbag S ystem comprises several individual systems. Front Airba g Syst em 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.
Exception: Passenger sea t with seat occupancy recognition system 3 . The seat occupancy recognition system deactiva tes the passenger front and side airbags if the passenger seat is unoccupied or a Vauxhall child restraint system with transponders 3 has been fitted to the passenger seat. S eat occupa ncy recognition, see pag e 86. Vauxhall child restraint system w ith transponders 3, see pag e 96.
When trigg ered , the front airbags inflate in milliseconds and form a safety cushion for driver and front passeng er. The forw ard movement of the driver and front passenger is checked and the risk of injuries to the upper body a nd head thereby substantially reduced. No im pairment of view will occur, because the a irba gs inflate and deflate so quic kly.
Seat belts must therefore always be worn. The front airbag system serves to supplement the three-point seat belts. If you do not wea r your seat belt you risk being seriously injured, or even thrown from the vehic le, in the ev ent of an accident. In the event of an accident the belt helps to keep you in the correct seating position, so that the front airb ag system can provide you with effective protection.
There must be no objects in the area in which the airb ag inflates or in the a rea between the seat backs and the vehicle body . Do not place the hands or arms on the covers of the airba g systems. Imp ortant information, see page 88. The three-p oint seat b elt m ust always b e correctly fitted, see p age 78.

Electronic air conditioning system Ele ctronic air conditioning system 3 The system provides m aximum com fort in any w eather, at any outside temperature and during any season. To ensure a constant and com fortable climate in the v ehicle, the tempera ture of the inflowing air, the air-flow rate a nd the air distrib ution are cha nged automatically according to clim atic conditions outside the v ehicle.
Pre-selected temperat ures The preselected temperature can be set to values between 16 °C and 28 °C using the left-hand rota ry knob. For the sak e of comfort, only cha nge the preselected temperature in small steps. If a temp erature b elow 16 °C is set, LO app ears in the display : the electronic air conditioning sy stem constantly runs with ma ximum cooling. The temp erature is not regula ted.
Manual settings Und er certain circumstances (e.g. iced-up or misted-up windows), the functions of the electronic air conditioning system ca n be influenced manually. Manua l settings are stored when the ignition is switc hed off. Make manual settings as follows when necessary: Air vents All air vents are controlled automatically in automatic mode. The air vents should therefore always be open: turn the k nurled wheels up wards.
Heated rear w indow, heated ext eri or mirrors 3 Press button Ü, Ü a ppears in display, only opera te with eng ine running. The rear window and exterior mirrors will quickly be cleared of ice and c ondensation. The heating is switched off autom atically after approx. 15 minutes.

General information If the windsc reen m ists up during dam p weather, set a utoma tic air cond itioning as desc ribed in " Window d emisting and deicing", see page 150. The electronic air conditioning system functions most efficiently when the windows and sun roof 3 are closed. If the passenger compartment ha s heated up consid erably after a long period in direct sunlight, briefly open the windows and sun roof 3 so that the heated air can quickly esca pe.
Automatic transmission After sta rting the engine and before shifting into a gea r, depress the brake pedal, If the brakes are released w hen a gear is engaged , the v ehicle will "creep". Nev er ac tuate accelerator and b rake pedals simultaneously . Disregard of these instructions may lead to injuries or endanger life. Once D has been selected, the economy driving p rogra mme is operative. Position D is g enerally ideal for d riv ing.
z Automatic neutral shift function autom atically sets the transm ission to N to reduce fuel consum ption, e.g. at tra ffic lig hts. Drive ranges D, 3, 2, 1 D Drive position for norma l driving conditions in first to fourth gear. 3 Drive position for driving conditions in first, second and third gea r. Automatic neutral selection is activated whenev er: – selector lever is in D, 3, 2 or 1 and – foot brake is operated and – vehicle is stopped and – acc elerator pedal is not opera ted.
Winter programm e T Kickdown Rocking the car In the event of starting-off diffic ulties on slip pery roa ds press button T, which can be operated in P, R , N , D and 3 (T illuminates). The vehicle starts off in third gear. When the accelerator pedal is depressed bey ond its resistance p oint below certain speeds, the transmission shifts down into a low er gear. Full use is made of the engine power for acceleration.
Stopping the vehicle The selector lever ca n b e left in the c hosen gear w ith the engine running. When stopping on grad ients engage hand brake or depress brak e p edal. To prevent ov erheating of the transmission, do not increase engine revolutions to ensure smooth idling while standing if a gea r ha s been selected. Switch off engine if stopping for a lengthy period, e.g. in traffic jams or at lev el crossings.
The transmission no long er shifts automatically. Driving can b e continued. Second gear is not available.

Driving hints Never coast with engine not running Driving with a roof load Many units will then not function (e.g. turn signal lam ps, brake servo unit, power steering 3, airbag system s). Driving in this manner is a d anger to yourself a nd others. Do not exceed the perm issible roof load, see pages 186, 257. For safety reasons, distribute the loa d ev enly a nd secure it tightly with straps so that it cannot slip. S et the tyre inflation pressure to the v alue given for full load.
Save energy – more miles Engine s pe ed Clutch operation Please observe the running-in hints on the previous pag e and the tips for energ y saving on the following pages. Driv e in a low engine speed range for each gear a s m uc h as possible. Alway s d epress the c lutch pedal hard to the floor to p revent shifting difficulties and transmission damage. Good, technica lly correct and economical driving ensures ma ximum durability and performance for your vehic le.
Saving fuel Warming up Idling z Driving at full throttle or idling while the eng ine is still cold inc reases engine w ear and fuel consumption. z The eng ine also consumes fuel when idling . z Drive off immediately after starting. Warm up the engine by running it at moderate engine speeds. Uniform spee d z Hectic driving significantly increases fuel consump tion. z Do not accelerate and brak e unnecessarily. Drive as often as possible in top gear.
Urban traffic Tyre inflation pres sure Roof racks, s ki-holders z Freq uent sta rting a nd stopping – for exam ple a t traffic lig hts, in stop-start traffic or traffic queues – greatly increases average fuel consumption. z 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 Plan carefully to avoid traffic c ongestion. z Regular checks (every 14 d ays) pay off.
Environmental protection A highly advanced design m eans that your vehicle can be ea sily disassemb led at the end of its working life, and the indiv id ua l materials sep arated for subsequent re-use. Environm ent-conscious driving Materials such as a sbestos and ca dmium are not used. z Reduce the noise level and exhaust emissions by adopting an env ironmentconscious d riv ing sty le. This is extremely worthwhile and improves the quality of life. New painting techniques employ wa ter as a solv ent.
Uniform speed High s peed z Hectic d riv ing significantly increases the noise level, the quantity of em ission a nd the proportion of p ollutant in the exhaust. z Driving at full throttle generates excessive noise and em ission. Tyre and wind noise also increases considerably as the speed increases. Tyre noise determines the overall vehicle noise level in the highest g ear from speeds of 40 mph (70 k m/h).
Fuel consumption, fuel, refuelling Fuel for petrol e ngines Fuel for diesel engines Commercially av ailable high-quality fuels are suitable (ca talytic converter, see page 168, oc ta ne numb ers, see pages 247, 248). Fuel quality has a decisive influence on the power output, running behaviour and service life of the engine. The additives contained in the fuel play an important role in this reg ard. Y ou should therefore only use high-quality fuels conta ining additives.
The fuel tank has a limiting system which prevents overfilling of the ta nk . Refuelling Care must be taken when handling fuel. C orrect filling depends to a large extent on proper operation of the fuel disp ensing pump: Before refuelling it is absolutely vital to switch off the engine and any heating system s with combustion chambers. Petrol is flam mable and explosiv e. Please therefore av oid na ked fla mes and sp arks when handling fuel, even when you are in the v icinity of fuel.
Catalytic converter, exhaust gases Dama ge to the catalytic conv erter or the vehicle m ay result if the following points are not observed : z Consult a work shop, such as your Vauxhall Ap prov ed Repairer, 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 indica te a fa ult in the ignition sy stem.
z If the emission control indicator Z flashes, slow down until the flashing stops a nd the control indicator is steady . Conta ct a workshop immediately . We recommend your Vauxhall Approved Repairer. Em ission control indicator Z, see pa ge 170.
Flashing with the engine running indicates a fault that may damage the catalytic conv erter. You can continue to drive without causing damage by slowing down until the fla shing stop s and the control indica tor is stead y. C onsult a workshop immed iately. We recommend tha t you consult a Vauxhall Approved Repairer. Cont rol indica tor Z for exhaust Lights up when ignition is switched on a nd rem ains illuminated during starting. Goes out shortly a fter engine starts.
If it lights up briefly and then goes out again this is of no significance. If it flashes w hen the ignition is on there is a fault in the imm obiliz er system, see page 51. Exhaust gas es, avoid inhaling! Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide, which is colourless and odourless and can b e fatal if inhaled. If exhaust fumes penetrate the vehicle interior, open the windows and consult a workshop immediately . We recommend that you consult a Va ux hall Approved Repairer.
Drive Control Systems Traction Control Sys tem (TC) 3 The TC (Traction C ontrol Sy stem) 3 prevents the driving wheels from spinning, irresp ective of the road condition and ty re grip. The system m onitors the rotational sp eed of all wheels. As soon as at lea st one driving wheel sta rts to spin, the engine output is reduced (the sound of the engine cha ng es) and the spinning wheel is b ra ked.
Lit during driving Fault in TC sy stem. Vehicle can continue to be driv en. Driving stability may be worse if driving sty le is not ada pted, d epend ing on acceleration and type of road surfac e because of driv e w heel spinning. Have the ca use of the fault rem edied. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Ap prov ed Repairer. The system ’s integrated self-diag nostics a llows faults to be q uick ly remedied. Cont rol indica tor v Lights up for a few sec onds when ig nition is switched on.
Ele ctronic Stability Program (ESP) 3 The ESP (E lectronic S tab ility Program ) 3 improves driving sta bility if req uired, reg ardless of the ty pe of road surface a nd tyre grip in any driving situation. It also contains the functionality of the Tra ction Control Sy stem. The system monitors vehicle m ovements. As soon as the vehicle starts to swerve (und ersteers/ov ersteers) engine outp ut is red uced (the sound of the engine changes) and individual wheels are specifically braked.
Lit during driving Fault in the ES P system. Driv ing can be continued. Poor road surfac e conditions may how ever still ca use vehicle stability to be impaired. Hav e the cause of the fault remed ied. We recom mend tha t you consult your Vauxhall Approved Repairer. The system’s integrated self-diagnostics allows faults to be quickly remedied. Swit ching off 3 The ES P can be switched off by pressing the v 3 button. When deactiv ated, control indicator v in the instrument panel lights up.
Leve l control s yste m3 The level control system keeps the level at the rear of the vehicle up when heavily laden, and so significantly im proves handling . The v ehicle is p um ped up with a standard commercially a vailable pump, or from a filling station air pump , or with the compressor (Genuine Vauxhall Parts and Accessories). The p ressure valve is loc ated in the load compartment on the right-hand side behind a flap. To open, rota te fasteners on the flap through 90° .
Decelerate With cruise control a ctiv e, hold down button R or tap it repeatedly : the speed is reduc ed c ontinuously or in steps. Cruis e control 3 The cruise control mak es it possible to store and m aintain a ny sp eed from approx. 20 mph (30 k m/h) to almost max imum speed. The current speed is stored and sa ved after the R button ha s b een relea sed. The c ruise c ontrol is operated with the buttons I , R and O on the turn signal lever.
Towi ng eq uipment, c arav an/t railer tow ing If towing equipment is fitted on the vehicle, the sy stem must be set to the a ppropriate vehicle length by a workshop. We recommend your Vaux hall Ap prov ed Repairer. Parking distance se nsor 3 Parking distance sensor mak es rev erse parking easier by measuring the distance between the rear of the vehicle a nd an obstacle through ultrasonic reflection a nd warning you with an a coustic signal in the passenger com partment.
Brakes Brake system The effectiveness brakes are an imp ortant fa ctor for traffic safety . To improve effectiveness, do not brake unnec essarily ha rd for the first 125 miles (200 km) after new brak e p ads ha ve been fitted. Brake pad wear must not ex ceed a specified lim it. Reg ular maintenance as detailed in the S ervice Booklet is therefore of the utmost im porta nce for traffic sa fety. Have worn brake pads replaced.
When the engine is stopped, servo assistance will cease after the brake peda l has been depressed once or twice. The braking a ction w ill not b e reduced but increased foot pressure will be necessary. Take ex tra care when the vehicle is being towed . Check the b rake la mps before starting out on a journey. On v ehicles with check control, the brak e lam ps are c hecked automatically, see page 40.
ABS u If there is a fault in the ABS, the rear wheels m ay tend to lock in the event of unusua lly heav y brak ing. This m ay cause the v ehicle to swerve. The benefits of the ABS are lost. The Anti-lock Brak e S ystem (ABS ) 3 continuously monitors the vehicle’s brake system a nd prevents the wheels from locking regardless of roa d condition and tyre grip. It starts to regulate the braking p ressure as soon as a w heel shows a tendency to lock.
Wheels, tyres Tyre s See pag e 268 for suitable ty res and restrictions. Factory-fitted tyres are matched to the cha ssis and offer optimum d riv ing c om fort and safety. Changing tyre /whee l type Before c hanging ov er to different tyres or wheels and ob tain advice as rega rd s technical possibilities. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Approved Repairer, w ho will be aw are of any chang es whic h may need to be made.
Tyre inflation pressure Check ty re pressures, including the spare wheel, at least ev ery 14 day s and prior to any long journey; the ty res should be check ed when cold. Don't forget to check the spare. Use the v alve cap key to make unscrewing the valve caps easier. The key is located on the inside of the tank flap. Tyre pressures, see pages 268 to 276 and the label on the insid e of the fuel ta nk flap. After changing ty re sizes, hav e the label rep la ced.
z Never fit used tyres the previous history and use of which you do not k now. z So as not to impair b ra ke cooling, use only wheel trims approved for use on your vehicle. Tyre d esigna tions e.g. 175/80 R 14 88 T Tread dept h Check tread depth regularly. Should the front tyres show greater wear than the rear tyres, ha ve both front wheels exchanged with the rear wheels so that the tyres w ith deeper tread are on the front axle.
Wheel trims on steel wheels ma y come into contact with parts of the cha ins. In such cases, remove the wheel covers, see pag e 203. Winter tyre s For notes on fitting new tyres, see page 182. See page 268 for restric tions. 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.
Roof racks, Caravan and trailer towing Disregard of these notes can lead to injuries whic h may be fatal. Vehicle passengers should be informed accordingly. Roof racks 3 For sa fety reasons and to avoid damaging the roof, we recommend the Vaux hall roof ra ck system. Your Vauxhall Approved Repairer will be happy to advise y ou. Driv ing hints, see page 160.

Caravan and trailer loads1) The permissib le carav an/trailer load s a re vehicle- a nd engine-dependent max imum 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 carav an/trailer and the actual c oupling socket loa d with the ca ra van/trailer attached. When the carav an/trailer load is being check ed, therefore, only the carav an/trailer wheels – and not the jockey wheel – must b e standing on the weighing app aratus.
The a ctual caravan/trailer load plus the actual gross vehicle weight m ust not exceed the maxim um perm itted towing weight. For exam ple, if the perm itted gross vehic le weight is utilised, the carava n/trailer load must only be used until the max imum permitted towing weight is reached. The m aximum permitted towing w eight is shown on the identification plate, see page 244. Coupling s ocket load The c oupling socket load is the load exerted by the carav an/trailer on the coupling ball.
Do not drive above 50 mph (80 km /h) when using trailers with poor driving stability, and the use of a friction-ty pe roll dam per is urgently rec om mended. Check caravan/trailer lighting before starting to drive. The fog tail lamps on the vehicle are deactiv ated w hen towing a caravan or trailer. Do not d riv e faster than 50 mph (80 k m/h) if possible, ev en in countries where hig her speeds are permitted. Make sure that you have enough room when cornering and a void sud den manoeuvres.
On vehicles with automatic transmission it is sufficient to open the throttle fully . Before starting off under extreme conditions (high c om bination w eight, mountainous terrain with steep inc lines), switch off all unnecessary elec trica l loa ds (e.g. heated rear wind ow , air conditioning sy stem 3, heated front seats 3).
Self-help Diesel fuel system, ble eding Di esel engine Y 17 DT 1) If the tank has become completely empty , start the eng ine for a ma ximum of approx. 40 seconds after refuelling to automatically bleed the fuel system . If the engine does not start, repea t the proc edure after a short time. Do not start with quick charge r This prevents d amage to electronic components.

Maintenance, Inspection System In the case of v ehicles driven infrequently with frequent cold sta rts or predomina ntly in urban traffic and stop-start traffic, an add itional engine oil and engine oil filter change is advisable. Further information on maintenance and the inspection system can be found in the service booklet, which is in the glove compa rtm ent.
Checking and topping up fluids To aid identification, the engine oil filler cap , the c oolant expansion ta nk cap, the lid of the fluid container for the wind screen wash system a nd headlam p wash system 3 and the handle of the oil dipstic k are coloured y ellow. Engine oil The oils listed on pa ge 245 are particula rly suita ble for this engine. These hig h-quality oils are suitab le for summer and winter operation.
Eng ine oi l level and consum ption It is normal for every engine to consume som e oil. Engine oil consumption cannot b e reliab ly ascertained until the vehicle has covered a substantial mileage. In the running-in phase it may b e ab ov e the specified lev el. Freq uent running at high engine sp eeds increases oil consumption. For this rea son the engine oil level should be check ed every 600 m iles (1000 km) or before sta rting a long trip.
If possible, top up using oil brand that was used at last oil change. O bserve notes on page 245. Lub rica nt cha rt, see page 245. Ca pacities, see pages 279, 280. The oil consumption will not stabilise until the vehicle has been driven several thousand miles. Only then can the ac tual ra te of consum ption b e estab lished . O il chang e, oi l filter cha ng e C ha nge the oil at the displayed serv ice interva ls. We recommend that you use g enuine Vauxhall oil filters.

Place a container underneath the filter housing.
Top up a nti-freeze. If no anti-freeze is av ailable, top up with clean tap water. If tap water is unavailable, distilled water can b e used. After topping up with tap or distilled wa ter, have the anti-freeze concentration checked , and anti-freeze added if nec essary . Hav e the cause of the coolant loss remedied. We recommend tha t you consult y our Vauxhall Approved Repairer. When closing , tighten coolant filler ca p as far as it will go.
Extreme cleanliness is im porta nt, since brake fluid contam ination can lead to brake sy stem malfunctions. After correcting the brake fluid level, have the cause of the loss rem edied. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Ap prov ed Repairer. Brake fluid Brak e fluid level Caution - brake fluid is poisonous and corrosive. Do not allow it to come into contact with ey es, sk in, fabric or painted surfaces. Direct contact could cause injury and damage.
