Fuel consumption, fuel, refuelling Fuel consumption, fuel, refuelling Fuel consumption Fuel for petrol engines Fuel consumption is determined under specific driving conditions – see page 200. Commercially available high-quality fuel with a maximum ethanol content of 5% as per DIN EN 228 (catalytic converter see page 124, octane numbers see page 198). Special equipment increases the weight of the vehicle. As a result, they can increase fuel consumption and reduce the specified maximum speed.
122 Fuel consumption, fuel, refuelling Fuel for diesel engines Refuelling 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.
Fuel consumption, fuel, refuelling 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. 2. After the automatic cut-off, the nominal capacity of the fuel tank can be obtained by topping up with two doses of fuel. Make sure the nozzle is fully inserted. Picture no: 11628s.tif To close, place fuel filler cap in position and turn, overcoming the resistance until the ratchet on the cap engages audibly.
124 Catalytic converter, exhaust gases Catalytic converter, exhaust gases z Consult a workshop, such as your Vauxhall Authorised 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 indicate a fault in the ignition system. If necessary, driving may be continued for a short time at a low speed and with a low engine speed.
Catalytic converter, exhaust gases 125 Catalytic converter for diesel engines Damage to the catalytic converter or the vehicle may result if the following points are not observed: z Consult a workshop, such as your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, as quickly as possible in the event of irregular engine running, a significant loss of engine power or other unusual malfunctions. If necessary, driving may be continued for a short time at a low speed and with a low engine speed. Picture no: 18087s.
126 Catalytic converter, exhaust gases Flashing with the engine running indicates a fault that may damage the catalytic converter. You can continue to drive without causing damage by slowing down until the flashing stops and the control indicator Z is steady. Consult a workshop immediately. We recommend your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. If it illuminates briefly, but does not recur, it is of no significance. Illumination of A can also indicate water in the diesel fuel filter 3.
Catalytic converter, exhaust gases Exhaust gases 9 Warning Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide, which is colourless and odourless and could be fatal if inhaled. If exhaust fumes penetrate the vehicle interior, open the windows and consult a workshop immediately. We recommend your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. During the first drive smoke may develop because of wax and oil evaporating on the exhaust system.
128 Brakes Brakes 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. Brake system........................................ 128 Anti-lock Brake System (ABS u) 3....
Brakes Footbrake The footbrake comprises two independent brake circuits. If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can still be braked using the other brake circuit. If this occurs, however, the brake pedal must be depressed quite far using considerable force before braking effect occurs. The distance required for braking will be greater. Consult a workshop before continuing your journey. We recommend your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. Picture no: 11629s.
130 Brakes 9 Warning If the control indicator R illuminates when the handbrake is not applied: stop. Interrupt your journey immediately. Consult a workshop. We recommend your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. Picture no: 12481s.tif Handbrake Always apply handbrake firmly. On slopes apply the handbrake as firmly as possible. The mechanical handbrake acts on the brakes on the rear wheels. It engages automatically when applied.
Brakes Anti-lock Brake System (ABS u) 3 The ABS continually monitors the brake system and prevents the wheels from locking, regardless of the road conditions 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.
132 Wheels, tyres Wheels, tyres Tyres See page 205 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 Before switching to different tyres or wheels, seek advice on the technical possibilities. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who will be able to advise you of any necessary modifications. Tyres .....................................................
Wheels, tyres 133 Some brands of tyres have a beaded edge for alloy wheels to protect against damage. If a wheel trim is used on steel wheels with beaded-edge tyres, comply with the following: z The use of wheel trims and tyres that Vauxhall has approved for the vehicle and therefore fulfil all requirements for the relevant combination of wheels and tyres. z If the wheel trims and tyres used are not Vauxhall-approved, the tyres must not have a beaded edge.
134 Wheels, tyres Check tyres regularly for damage (foreign bodies, punctures, cuts, cracks, bulges in sidewalls). Check wheels for damage.

Wheel trims 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 133. The design of summer tyres means they have limited qualities for winter driving.
Wheels, tyres Wheel trim on steel wheels could come into contact with parts of the chain and be damaged. Remove the wheel trim – see page 152. Tyre chains may only be used at speeds up to 30 mph (50 km/h) and, when travelling on roads that are free of snow, they may be used for brief periods only since they are subject to rapid wear on a hard road and may snap. Temporary spare wheel 3 Tyre chains must not be used on the temporary spare wheel.
138 Roof racks, caravan and trailer towing Roof racks, caravan and trailer towing 9 Warning Disregard of these notes can lead to injuries which may be fatal. Vehicle passengers must be informed accordingly. Roof racks 3 For reasons of safety and to avoid damaging the roof, we recommend that you use the Vauxhall roof rack system approved for your vehicle. Consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. Remove the covers from the roof rack mounting apertures. Roof racks 3.......................................
Roof racks, caravan and 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.
140 Roof racks, caravan and trailer towing Handling is greatly influenced by the loading of the caravan / trailer. Loads should therefore be secured so that they cannot slip and be placed in the centre of the caravan / trailer if possible, 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 recommended.
Roof racks, caravan and trailer towing Make sure that you have enough room when cornering and avoid sudden manoeuvres. If the caravan / trailer starts to sway, drive more slowly, do not attempt to correct the steering and brake sharply if necessary. If full-on braking is required, depress the brake pedal as hard as possible. Remember that the braking distance for vehicles towing caravans / trailers with and without brake is always greater than that for vehicles not towing a caravan / trailer.
142 Roof racks, caravan and trailer towing Starting 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 handbrake and open throttle. If possible, the engine speed should not drop during this procedure.

180 Maintenance, Service Plan Maintenance, Service Plan 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. On vehicles with fixed oil change and service interval, InSP appears in the trip odometer display after the ignition is switched on when it is time for servicing: Have service work carried out within one week or 300 miles (500 km).
Maintenance, Service Plan 181 Further information on maintenance and the Service Plan can be found in the Service Booklet, which is in the glove compartment. Have maintenance work, as well as repairs to the bodywork and units, carried out by a professional. We recommend your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who is familiar with Vauxhall vehicles and in possession of the necessary special tools and the latest Service Instructions from Vauxhall.
182 Maintenance, Service Plan Picture no: 18113s.tif Engine oil Information on engine oils is found in the Service Booklet. Engine oil level and consumption All engines consume engine oil for technical reasons. The engine oil consumption can only be assessed after driving a long distance, and may be above the specified value during the initial stage (run-in period). Frequent driving at high revs causes engine oil consumption to increase.
Maintenance, Service Plan Picture no: 18114s.tif When topping up, use the same brand of engine oil that was used during the previous oil change. Observe the information in the Service Booklet. When closing the cap, insert it straight and screw it in all the way. Capacities – see page 209.

184 Maintenance, Service Plan Diesel fuel filter Coolant Check the fuel filter for any water residue during each engine oil change. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. During operation the system is pressurised. The temperature may therefore rise briefly to over 100 °C. Illumination of A indicates water in the diesel fuel filter 3.
Maintenance, Service Plan 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. Coolant temperature If the temperature gauge is in the red zone, coolant temperature is too high. Check the coolant level immediately: After topping up with tap or distilled water, have the anti-freeze concentration checked, and anti-freeze added if necessary. Have the cause of the coolant loss remedied.
186 Maintenance, Service Plan Brake fluid Windscreen wiper Brake fluid is hygroscopic, i.e. it absorbs water. If the brakes become hot, such as when driving on long downhill stretches, vapour bubbles can occur in the water, which can have an extremely adverse effect on braking power (depending on the proportion of water). Clear vision is essential for safe driving. The fluid change intervals specified in the Service Booklet must therefore be observed.

188 Maintenance, Service Plan The windscreen wash system remains frostfree in winter: Frost protection down to – 5 °C – 10 °C – 20 °C – 30 °C Parking the vehicle for more than 4 weeks can lead to battery discharging. This may reduce the service life of the battery. Disconnect battery from on-board power supply by disconnecting the negative terminal (Vauxhall alarm system 3 is then disabled).
Maintenance, Service Plan Protecting electronic components In order to prevent faults in electronic components in the electrical system, never connect or disconnect battery with engine running or ignition switched on. Never start engine with battery disconnected, e.g. when starting using jump leads. To avoid damaging the vehicle, do not make any modifications to the electrical system, e.g. connecting additional consumers or tampering with electronic control units (chip tuning).
190 Maintenance, Service Plan Vehicle decommissioning Observe national regulations. If the vehicle is decommissioned for several months, the following work must be carried out in order to prevent damage. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Partner. z Wash and preserve the vehicle – see page 192. 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 183.
Vehicle care Vehicle care Obtain advice from a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer regarding cleaning materials that have been tested and recommended by Vauxhall. When caring for your vehicle, observe all national environmental regulations, particularly when washing it. Vehicle care aids 3.............................. Washing ............................................... Waxing ................................................. Polishing ............................................... Wheels .................
192 Vehicle care Washing Waxing Polishing 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.
Vehicle care 193 Paintwork damage Plastic and rubber parts Interior and upholstery Repair small areas of paint damage such as stone impacts, scratches etc. immediately using a Vauxhall touch-up applicator or Vauxhall spray and touch-up paint before rust can form. If rust has already formed, have the cause remedied. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Partner. Please also pay attention to surfaces and edges beneath the vehicle where rust may have formed unnoticed for some time.
194 Vehicle care Windows Windscreen wiper blades Locks When cleaning the heated rear window 3, make sure that the heating element on the inside of the window is not damaged. Wax, such as that used in car washes, can cause streaks to form on the windscreen when the wiper is used. Use a soft lint-free cloth or chamois leather in conjunction with Window Cleaner and Insect Remover.
Vehicle care Engine compartment Underbody Clean painted surfaces in the engine compartment like any other painted surface. Your vehicle has a factory-applied PVC undercoating in the wheel arches (including the longitudinal members) which provides permanent protection and needs no special maintenance. The surfaces of the vehicle underbody not covered by PVC are provided with a durable protective wax coating in critical areas. For best results, wash and wax the engine compartment before and after winter.
