Beyond the warning required by

ECE R94.02, for safety reasons a

forward-facing child restraint system

must only be used subject to the

instructions and restrictions in the

tables 3 52.

The airbag label is located on both

sides of the front passenger sun visor.

Airbag deactivation 3 49.

Front airbag system

The front airbag system consists of

one airbag in the steering wheel and

one in the instrument panel on the

front passenger side. The location is

identified by the word AIRBAG.

The front airbag system is triggered in

the event of a front-end impact of a

certain severity. The ignition must be

switched on.

48 Seats, restraints

The inflated airbags cushion the

impact, thereby reducing the risk of

injury to the upper body and head of

the front seat occupants

considerably.

9Warning

Optimum protection is only

provided when the seat is in the

proper position.

Seat position 3 37.

Keep the area in which the airbag

inflates clear of obstructions.

Fit the seat belt correctly and

engage securely. Only then is the

airbag able to protect.

Side airbag system

The side airbag system consists of an

airbag in each front seat backrest.

The location is identified by the word

AIRBAG.

The side airbag system is triggered in

the event of a side impact of a certain

severity. The ignition must be

switched on.

The inflated airbags cushion the

impact, thereby reducing the risk of

injury to the upper body and pelvis in

the event of a side-on collision

considerably.

9Warning

Keep the area in which the airbag

inflates clear of obstructions.

Note

Only use protective seat covers that

have been approved for the vehicle.

Be careful not to cover the airbags.

Seats, restraints 49

Curtain airbag system

The curtain airbag system consists of

an airbag in the roof frame on each

side. The location is identified by the

word AIRBAG on the roof pillars.

The curtain airbag system is triggered

in the event of a side-on impact of a

certain severity. The ignition must be

switched on.

The inflated airbags cushion the

impact, thereby reducing the risk of

injury to the head in the event of a

side-on impact considerably.

9Warning

Keep the area in which the airbag

inflates clear of obstructions.

The hooks on the handles in the

roof frame are only suitable for

hanging up light articles of

clothing, without coat hangers. Do

not keep any items in these

clothes.

Airbag deactivation

The front passenger airbag system

must be deactivated for a child

restraint system on the passenger

seat according to the instructions in

the tables 3 52.

The other airbag systems, the belt

pretensioners and all driver airbag

systems will remain active.

The front passenger airbag system

can be deactivated via a key-

operated switch on the passenger

side of the instrument panel.

Use the ignition key to choose the

switch position:

*OFF : front passenger airbag is

deactivated and will not

inflate in the event of a

collision. Control indicator

*OFF illuminates

continuously in the centre

console

VON : front passenger airbag is

active

50 Seats, restraints

9Danger

Deactivate passenger airbag only

in combination with the use of a

child restraint system, subject to

the instructions and restrictions in

the tables 3 52.

Otherwise, there is a risk of fatal

injury for a person occupying a

seat with a deactivated front

passenger airbag.

If control indicator V illuminates for

approx. 60 seconds after the ignition

is switched on, the front passenger

airbag system will inflate in the event

of a collision.

If both control indicators are

illuminated at the same time, there is

a system failure. The status of the

system is not discernible, therefore

no person is allowed to occupy the

front passenger seat. Contact a

workshop immediately.

Change status only when the vehicle

is stopped with the ignition off.

Status remains until the next change.

Control indicator for airbag

deactivation 3 92.

Child restraints

Child restraint systems

We recommend Opel child restraint

systems which are tailored

specifically to the vehicle.

The following child restraints are

recommended for the following

weight classes:

●Group 0, Group 0+

Maxi Cosi Cabriofix plus Easyfix,

for children up to 13 kg

●Group I

OPEL Duo, for children from

13 kg to 18 kg in this group

When a child restraint system is being

used, pay attention to the following

usage and installation instructions

and also those supplied with the child

restraint system.

Check local laws and regulations for

mandatory use of child restraint

systems. In some countries, the use

of child restraint systems is forbidden

on certain seats.

Seats, restraints 51

9Danger

If using a rear-facing child restraint

system on the front passenger

seat, the airbag system for the

front passenger seat must be

deactivated. This also applies to

certain forward-facing child

restraint systems as indicated in

the tables 3 52.

Airbag deactivation 3 49.

Airbag label 3 44.

The rear seats are the most

convenient location to fasten a child

restraint system.

Children should travel facing

rearwards in the vehicle as long as

possible. This ensures that the child's

backbone, which is still very weak, is

under less strain in the event of an

accident.

Selecting the right system

Only use suitable restraint systems,

e.g. those that comply with valid

UN ECE regulations.

Ensure that the child restraint system

to be installed is compatible with the

vehicle type. Refer to the tables on

the following pages, the instructions

supplied with the child restraint

system and the vehicle type list of

non-universal child restraint systems.

Ensure that the mounting location of

the child restraint system within the

vehicle is correct, see following

tables.

Allow children to enter and exit the

vehicle only on the side facing away

from the traffic.

When the child restraint system is not

in use, secure the seat with a seat belt

or remove it from the vehicle.

Child restraint systems could be

fastened with ISOFIX mounting

brackets, Top-tether if available,

and/or a three-point seat belt. Refer

to the following tables.

Note

Do not affix anything on the child

restraint systems and do not cover

them with any other materials.

A child restraint system which has

been subjected to stress in an

accident must be replaced.

the data for your vehicle in the

weights table at the front of this

manual.

The EC kerb weight includes

weights for the driver (68 kg),

luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (fuel

tank 90% full).

Optional equipment and

accessories increase the kerb

weight.

● Driving with a roof load increases

the sensitivity of the vehicle to

cross-winds and has a

detrimental effect on vehicle

handling due to the vehicle's

higher centre of gravity.

Distribute the load evenly and

secure it properly with retaining

straps. Adjust the tyre pressure

and vehicle speed according to

the load conditions. Check and

retighten the straps frequently.

Do not drive faster than 120 km/

The permissible roof load is

75 kg. The roof load is the

combined weight of the roof rack

and the load.

temperatures

Diesel engines

The start of the engine without

additional heaters is possible down to

-25 °С.

Petrol engines

The start of the engine without

additional heaters is possible down to

-30 °C.

Required is an engine oil with the

correct viscosity, the correct fuel,

performed services and a sufficiently

charged vehicle battery.

With temperatures below -30 °C, the

automatic transmission requires a

warming phase of approx. five

minutes. The selector lever must be

in position P.

Automatic starter control

This function controls the engine

starting procedure. The driver does

not need to hold the key in position 3.

Once applied, the system will go on

starting automatically until the engine

is running. Because of the checking

procedure, the engine starts running

after a short delay.

Possible reasons for a non-starting

engine:

● clutch pedal not operated

(manual transmission)

● brake pedal not operated or

selector lever not in P or N

(automatic transmission)

● timeout occurred

Turbo engine warm-up

Upon start-up, engine available

torque may be limited for a short time,

especially when the engine

temperature is cold. The limitation is

to allow the lubrication system to fully

protect the engine.

Overrun cut-off

The fuel supply is automatically cut off

during overrun, i.e. when the vehicle

is driven with a gear engaged but

accelerator is released.

Depending on driving conditions, the

overrun cut-off may be deactivated.

Stop-start system

The stop-start system helps to save

fuel and to reduce the exhaust

emissions. When conditions allow, it

switches off the engine as soon as the

vehicle is at a low speed or at a

standstill, e.g. at a traffic light or in a

traffic jam.

On vehicles with manual

transmission, the engine is started

automatically as soon as the clutch is

depressed.

On vehicles with manual transmission

automated, the engine is started

automatically as soon as the brake

pedal is released.

A vehicle battery sensor ensures that

an Autostop is only performed if the

vehicle battery is sufficiently charged

for a restart.

140 Driving and operating

Engine exhaust

9Danger

Engine exhaust gases contain

poisonous carbon monoxide,

which is colourless and odourless

and could be fatal if inhaled.

If exhaust gases enter the interior

of the vehicle, open the windows.

Have the cause of the fault

rectified by a workshop.

Avoid driving with an open load

compartment, otherwise exhaust

gases could enter the vehicle.

Diesel particle filter

The diesel particle filter system filters

harmful soot particles out of the

exhaust gases. The system includes

a self-cleaning function that runs

automatically during driving without

any notification. The filter is cleaned

by periodically burning off the soot

particles at high temperature. This

process takes place automatically

under set driving conditions and may

take up to 25 minutes. Typically it

needs between seven and

12 minutes. Autostop is not available

and fuel consumption may be higher

during this period. The emission of

smells and smoke during this process

is normal.

Under certain driving conditions, e.g.

short distances, the system cannot

clean itself automatically.

If cleaning of the filter is required and

if previous driving conditions did not

enable automatic cleaning, it will be

indicated by control indicator %.

Simultaneously a warning message

or warning code appears in the Driver

In D, first gear is engaged and the

clutch is released when the vehicle is

stopped. In R, reverse gear remains

engaged.

Engine braking

Automatic mode

When driving downhill, the manual

transmission automated does not

shift into higher gears until a fairly

high engine speed has been reached.

It shifts down in good time when

braking.

Manual mode

To utilise the engine braking effect,

select a lower gear in good time when

driving downhill. Changing into

manual mode is only possible while

the engine is running or during an

Autostop.

Rocking the vehicle

Rocking the vehicle is only

permissible if the vehicle is stuck in

sand, mud or snow. Move the selector

lever between R and D in a repeat

pattern. Do not race the engine and

avoid sudden acceleration.

Parking

The most recently engaged gear (see

transmission display) remains

engaged when switching off ignition.

With N, no gear is engaged.

Therefore always apply the parking

brake when switching off ignition. If

parking brake is not applied, P flashes

in the transmission display and the

key cannot be removed from the

ignition switch. P stops flashing in the

transmission display as soon as the

parking brake is slightly applied.

When the ignition is switched off, the

transmission no longer responds to

movement of the selector lever.

Tyre pressure monitoring system

148 Driving and operating

Manual mode

If a higher gear is selected when the

engine speed is too low, or a lower

gear when the speed is too high, the

shift is not executed. This prevents

the engine from running at too low or

too high an engine speed. A warning

message is displayed in the Driver

Information Centre. Vehicle

messages 3 103.

If engine speed is too low, the

transmission automatically shifts to a

lower gear.

If engine speed is too high, the

transmission only switches to a higher

gear via kickdown.

When + or - is selected in automatic

mode, the transmission switches to

manual mode and shifts accordingly.

Gear shift indication

The symbol R with a number

alongside it, is indicated when

gearshifting is recommended for fuel

saving reasons.

Shift indication appears only in

manual mode.

Electronic driving

programmes

● Following a cold start, the

operating temperature

programme increases engine

speed to quickly bring the

catalytic converter to the required

temperature.

● The adaptive programme tailors

gearshifting to the driving

conditions, e.g. greater load or

gradients.

Kickdown

If the accelerator pedal is pressed

down completely in automatic mode,

the transmission shifts to a lower gear

depending on engine speed.

Fault

To prevent damage to the manual

transmission automated, the clutch is

engaged automatically at high clutch

temperatures.

In the event of a fault, control indicator

g illuminates. Additionally, a

warning message is displayed in the

Driving and operating 149

Brakes

The brake system comprises two

independent brake circuits.

If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can

still be braked using the other brake

circuit. However, braking effect is

achieved only when the brake pedal

is depressed firmly. Considerably

more force is needed for this. The

braking distance is extended. Seek

the assistance of a workshop before

continuing the journey.

When the engine is not running, the

support of the brake servo unit

disappears once the brake pedal has

been depressed once or twice.

Braking effect is not reduced, but

braking requires significantly greater

force. It is especially important to bear

this in mind when being towed.

Control indicator R 3 93.

Antilock brake system

Antilock brake system (ABS)

prevents the wheels from locking.

ABS starts to regulate brake pressure

as soon as a wheel shows a tendency

to lock. The vehicle remains

steerable, even during hard braking.

ABS control is made apparent

through a pulse in the brake pedal

and the noise of the regulation

process.

For optimum braking, keep the brake

pedal fully depressed throughout the

braking process, despite the fact that

the pedal is pulsating. Do not reduce

the pressure on the pedal.

After starting-off the system performs

a self-test which may be audible.

Control indicator u 3 93.

Adaptive brake light

During full braking, all three brake

lights flash for the duration of ABS

control.

Fault

9Warning

If there is a fault in the ABS, the

wheels may be liable to lock due

to braking that is heavier than

normal. The advantages of ABS

are no longer available. During

hard braking, the vehicle can no

longer be steered and may

swerve.

Have the cause of the fault remedied

by a workshop.

activated when driving forwards.

When searching for a parking slot, the

system is ready to operate with a long

press of D.

The system recognises and

memorises ten metres for parallel

parking slots or six metres for

perpendicular parking slots in the

parking assist mode.

The system can only be activated at

a speed up to 30 km/h and the system

searches for a parking slot at a speed

up to 30 km/h.

The maximum allowed parallel

distance between the vehicle and a

row of parked cars is 1.8 metres for

parallel parking and 2.5 metres for

perpendicular parking.

Functionality

Parking slot searching mode

Indication in the Driver Information

Centre

Select parallel or perpendicular

parking slot in Driver Information

Centre by pressing SET/CLR.

The system is configured to detect

parking slots by default on the

passenger side. To detect parking

slots on the driver side, switch on turn

signal indicator on the driver side.

When a slot is detected, visual

feedback in the Driver Information

Centre and an acoustic signal is

given.

Indication in the Colour-Info-Display

Select parallel or perpendicular

icon on the display.

Select parking side by tapping the

respective icon on the display.

168 Driving and operating

When a slot is detected, a visual

feedback on the Colour-Info-Display

and an acoustic signal is given.

If the driver does not stop the vehicle

after a parking slot is proposed, the

system starts to search for another

suitable parking slot.

Park guiding mode

The parking slot suggestion of the

system is accepted when the vehicle

is stopped by the driver within

10 metres for parallel parking slots or

six metres for perpendicular parking

slots after the Stop message is given.

The system calculates the optimal

path into the parking slot.

A brief vibration in the steering wheel

after engaging reverse gear indicates

that the steering is controlled by the

system. Then the vehicle is steered

into the slot automatically by giving

the driver detailed instructions for

braking, accelerating and gear

shifting. The driver must keep hands

away from the steering wheel.

Always pay attention to the sound of

the front-rear parking assist.

Continuous sound indicates that the

distance to an obstacle is less than

approx. 30 cm.

If, for any reason, the driver must take

over control of the steering, hold the

steering wheel only at the outer edge.

Automatic steering is cancelled in this

event.

Display indication

The instructions on the display show:

● General hints and warning

messages.

● A hint when driving faster than

30 km/h during parking slot

searching mode, or 8 km/h in

guiding mode.

● The demand to stop the vehicle,

when a parking slot is detected.

● The direction of driving during the

parking manoeuvre.

● The demand to shift into reverse

or first gear.

● The demand to accelerate or

brake.

● For some of the instructions a

progress bar is shown in the

Driver Information Centre.

● The successful completion of the

parking manoeuvre indicated by

a pop-up symbol and a chime.

● The cancelling of a parking

manoeuvre.

a new parking slot.

Basic notes on parking assist

systems

9Warning

Under certain circumstances,

various reflective surfaces on

objects or clothing as well as

external noise sources may cause

the system to fail to detect

obstacles.

Special attention must be paid to

low obstacles which can damage

the lower part of the bumper.

Caution

Performance of the system can be

reduced when sensors are

covered, e.g. by ice or snow.

Performance of the parking assist

system can be reduced due to

heavy loading.

Special conditions apply if there

are taller vehicles in the vicinity

(e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans,

vans). Object identification and

correct distance indication in the

upper part of these vehicles

cannot be guaranteed.

Objects with a very small reflection

cross-section, e.g. objects of

narrow size or soft materials, may

not be detected by the system.

Parking assist systems do not

detect objects outside the

detection range.

Note

It is possible that the sensor detects

a non-existing object caused by

echo disturbance from external

170 Driving and operating

acoustic noise or mechanical

misalignments (sporadic false

warnings may occur).

Make sure that the front number

plate is properly mounted (not bent

and no gaps to the bumper on the left

or right side) and the sensors are

firmly in place.

Advanced parking assist system

may not respond to changes in the

available parking space after

initiating a parking manoeuvre. The

system may recognize an entry, a

gateway, a courtyard or even a

crossing as a parking slot. After

selecting reverse gear the system

will start a parking manoeuvre. Take

care regarding the availability of the

suggested parking slot.

Surface irregularities, e.g. on

construction zones, are not detected

by the system. The driver accepts

responsibility.

Note

If engaging a forward gear and

exceeding a certain speed, the

parking assist will be deactivated

when the rear carrier system is

extended.

If engaging reverse for the first time,

the parking assist will detect the rear

carrier system and provide a buzzing

sound. Press r or D briefly to

deactivate the parking assist.

Note

After production, the system

requires a calibration. For optimal

parking guidance, a driving distance

of at least 10 km, including a number

of bends, is required.

Side blind spot alert

The Side blind spot alert system

detects and reports objects on either

side of the vehicle, within a specified

"blind spot" zone. The system

displays a visual alert in each exterior

mirror, when detecting objects that

may not be visible in the interior and

exterior mirrors.

Side blind spot alert uses some of the

advanced parking assist sensors

which are located in the front and rear

bumper on both sides of the vehicle.

9Warning

Side blind spot alert does not

replace driver vision.

The system does not detect:

● vehicles outside the side blind

zones which may be rapidly

approaching

● pedestrians, cyclists or animals

Before changing a lane, always

check all mirrors, look over the

shoulder and use the turn signal.

When the system detects a vehicle in

the side blind zone while driving

forward, either while passing a

vehicle or being passed, a yellow

warning symbol B will illuminate in

the relevant exterior mirror. If the

driver then activates the turn signal,

the warning symbol B starts flashing

yellow as a warning not to change

lanes.

Driving and operating 171

Note

If the overtaking vehicle is at least

10 km/h faster than the vehicle being

overtaken, the warning symbol B in

the relevant exterior mirror may not

illuminate.

Side blind spot alert is active from

speeds of 10 km/h up to 140 km/h.

Driving faster than 140 km/h

deactivates the system, indicated by

low lighting warning symbols B in

both exterior mirrors. Reducing the

speed again will extinguish the

warning symbols. If a vehicle is then

detected in the blind zone, the

warning symbols B will illuminate as

normal on the relevant side.

When the vehicle is started, both

exterior mirror displays will briefly

illuminate to indicate that the system

is operating.

The system can be activated or

deactivated in the Info-Display,

vehicle personalisation 3 106.

Deactivation is indicated by a

message in the Driver Information

Centre.

Detection zones

The detection zones start at the rear

bumper and extend approx.

three metres rearwards and to the

sides. The height of the zone is

approx. between 0.5 metres and

two metres off the ground.

Side blind spot alert is designed to

ignore stationary objects, e.g.

guardrails, posts, curbs, walls and

beams. Parked vehicles or oncoming

vehicles are not detected.

Fault

Occasional missed alerts can occur

under normal circumstances and will

increase in wet conditions.

Side blind spot alert does not operate

when the left or right corners of the

rear bumper are covered with mud,

dirt, snow, ice, slush, or in heavy

rainstorms. Cleaning instructions

Fault

The traffic sign assistant system may

not operate correctly if:

● The area of the windscreen,

where the front camera is

located, is not clean or affected

by foreign items, e.g. stickers.

● Traffic signs are completely or

partially covered or difficult to

discern.

176 Driving and operating

● There are adverse environmental

conditions, e.g. heavy rain, snow,

direct sunlight or shadows.

● Traffic signs are incorrectly

mounted or damaged.

● Traffic signs do not comply with

the Vienna Convention on traffic

signs (Wiener Übereinkommen

über Straßenverkehrszeichen).

Caution

The system is intended to help the

driver within a defined speed

range to discern certain traffic

signs. Do not ignore traffic signs

which are not displayed by the

system.

The system does not discern any

other than the conventional traffic

signs that might give or end a

speed limit.

Do not let this special feature

tempt you into taking risks when

driving.

Always adapt speed to the road

conditions.

The driver assistance systems do

not relieve the driver from full

responsibility for vehicle

operation.

Lane departure warning

The lane departure warning system

observes the lane markings between

which the vehicle is driving via a front

camera. The system detects lane

changes and warns the driver in the

event of an unintended lane change

via visual and acoustic signals.

Criteria for the detection of an

unintended lane change are:

● No operation of turn signals.

● No brake pedal operation.

● No active accelerator operation

or speeding-up.

● No active steering.

If the driver is performing these

actions, no warning will be issued.

Activation

The lane departure warning system is

activated by pressing ). The

illuminated LED in the button

indicates that the system is switched

on. When control indicator ) in the

instrument cluster illuminates green,

the system is ready to operate.

The system is only operable at

conditions e.g. heavy rain, snow,

direct sunlight or shadows.

The system can not operate when no

lane marking is detected.

Fuel

Fuel for petrol engines

Only use unleaded fuel that complies

with European standard EN 228 or

E DIN 51626-1 or equivalent.

The engine is capable of running with

fuel that contains up to 10% ethanol

(e.g. named E10).

Use fuel with the recommended

octane rating. A lower octane rating

can reduce engine power and torque

and slightly increases fuel

consumption.

Caution

Do not use fuel or fuel additives

that contain metallic compounds

such as manganese-based

additives. This may cause engine

damage.

Caution

Use of fuel that does not comply to

EN 228 or E DIN 51626-1 or

equivalent can lead to deposits or

engine damage.

Caution

Use of fuel with a lower octane

rating than the lowest possible

rating could lead to uncontrolled

combustion and engine damage.

The engine specific requirements

regarding octane rating are given in

the engine data overview 3 244. A

country specific label at the fuel filler

flap can supersede the requirement.

A country specific label at the fuel filler

flap can supersede the requirement.

Fuel for diesel engines

Only use diesel fuel that complies

with EN 590.

178 Driving and operating

In countries outside the European

Union use Euro-Diesel fuel with a

sulphur concentration below 50 ppm.

Caution

Use of fuel that does not comply to

EN 590 or similar can lead to

engine powerloss, increased wear

or engine damage.

Do not use marine diesel oils, heating

oils, Aquazole and similar diesel-

water emulsions. Diesel fuels must

not be diluted with fuels for petrol

engines.

Fuel for liquid gas operation

Liquid gas is known as LPG

(Liquefied Petroleum Gas) or under

its French name GPL (Gaz de Pétrole

Liquéfié). LPG is also known as

Autogas.

LPG consists mainly of propane and

butane. The octane rating is between

105 and 115, depending on the

butane proportion. LPG is stored

liquid at around five to ten bar

pressure.

The boiling point depends on the

pressure and mixing ratio. At ambient

pressure, it is between -42 °C (pure

propane) and -0.5 °C (pure butane).

Caution

The system works at an ambient

temperature of approx. -8 °C to

100 °C.

Full function of the LPG system can

only be guaranteed with liquid gas

which complies with the minimum

requirements of DIN EN 589.

Fuel selector

Pressing LPG switches between

petrol and liquid gas operation as

soon as the required parameters

(coolant temperature, gas

temperature and minimum engine

speed) have been reached. The

requirements are usually fulfilled after

approx. 60 seconds (depending on

exterior temperature) and the first firm

press on the accelerator. The LED

status shows the current operating

mode.

Information Centre.

If the fuel tank is empty, the engine

will not start.

Driving and operating 179

The selected fuel mode is stored and

reactivated at the next ignition cycle if

conditions allow.

As soon as the liquid gas tanks are

empty, petrol operation is

automatically engaged until the

ignition is switched off.

When switching automatically

between petrol or gas operation, a

brief delay of engine tractive power

may be noticeable.

Every six months, run the petrol tank

down until control indicator Y

illuminates, then refuel. This helps

maintain fuel quality and system

function for petrol operation.

Fill the tank completely at regular

intervals to prevent corrosion in the

tank.

Faults and remedies

If gas mode is not possible, check the

following:

● Is there enough liquid gas

present?

● Is there enough petrol present for

starting?

Due to extreme temperatures in

combination with the gas

composition, it may take slightly

longer before the system switches

from petrol to gas mode.

In extreme situations, the system may

also switch back to petrol mode if the

minimum requirements are not

fulfilled. If conditions allow, it might be

possible to manually switch back to

liquid gas operation.

Seek the assistance of a workshop in

the event of all other faults.

Caution

Repairs and adjustments may only

be made by trained specialists in

order to maintain the safety and

warranty on the LPG system.

Liquid gas is given a particular odour

(odorised) so that any leaks can be

detected easily.

9Warning

If you smell gas in the vehicle or in

the immediate vicinity, switch to

petrol mode immediately. No

smoking. No naked flames or

ignition sources.

If the gas odour persists, do not start

the engine. Have the cause of the

fault remedied by a workshop.

When using underground car parks,

follow the instructions of the operator

and local laws.

Note

In the event of an accident, switch off

the ignition and lights.

Fuel consumption - CO2-

Emissions

The fuel consumption (combined) of

the model Opel Corsa is within a

range of 7.5 to 3.1 l/100 km.

The CO2 emission (combined) is

within a range of 174 to 82 g/km.

For the values specific for your

vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of

Conformity provided with your vehicle

or other national registration

documents.

General information

The official fuel consumption and

specific CO2 emission figures quoted

relate to the EU base model with

standard equipment.

Fuel consumption data and CO2

emission data are determined

according to regulation R (EC)

No. 715/2007 (in the latest applicable

version), taking into consideration the

vehicle weight in running order, as

specified by the regulation.

The figures are provided only for the

purpose of comparison between

different vehicle variants and must

not be taken as a guarantee for the

actual fuel consumption of a

particular vehicle. Additional

equipment may result in slightly

higher results than the stated

consumption and CO2 figures.

Furthermore, fuel consumption is

dependent on personal driving style

as well as road and traffic conditions.

184 Driving and operating

Trailer hitch

General information

Only use towing equipment that has

been approved for your vehicle.

Entrust retrofitting of towing

equipment to a workshop. It may be

necessary to make changes that

affect the cooling system, heat

shields or other equipment.

The bulb outage detection function for

trailer brake light cannot detect a

partial bulb outage, e.g. in case of four

times five watt bulbs, the function only

detects lamp outage when only a

single five Watt lamp remains or none

remain.

Fitting of towing equipment could

cover the opening of the towing eye.

If this is the case use the coupling ball

bar for towing. Always keep the

coupling ball bar in the vehicle when

not in use.

Driving characteristics and

towing tips

Before attaching a trailer, lubricate

the coupling ball. However, do not do

so if a stabiliser, which acts on the

coupling ball, is being used to reduce

snaking movements.

For trailers with low driving stability

and caravan trailers with a permitted

gross vehicle weight of more than

1000 kg a speed of 80 km/h must not

be exceeded; the use of a stabiliser is

recommended.

If the trailer starts snaking, drive more

slowly, do not attempt to correct the

steering and brake sharply if

necessary.

When driving downhill, drive in the

same gear as if driving uphill and

drive at a similar speed.

Adjust tyre pressure to the value

specified for full load 3 252.

Trailer towing

Trailer loads

The permissible trailer loads are

vehicle and engine-dependent

maximum values which must not be

exceeded. The actual trailer load is

the difference between the actual

gross weight of the trailer and the

actual coupling socket load with the

trailer coupled.

The permissible trailer loads are

specified in the vehicle documents. In

general, they are valid for gradients

up to max. 12%

The permitted trailer loads apply up to

the specified incline and up to an

altitude of 1000 metres above sea

level. Since engine power decreases

as altitude increases due to the air

becoming thinner, therefore reducing

climbing ability, the permissible gross

train weight also decreases by 10%

for every 1000 metres of additional

altitude. The gross train weight does

not have to be reduced when driving

on roads with slight inclines (less than

8%, e.g. motorways).

Driving and operating 185

The permissible gross train weight

must not be exceeded. This weight is

specified on the identification plate

3 240.

Vertical coupling load

The vertical coupling load is the load

exerted by the trailer on the coupling

ball. It can be varied by changing the

weight distribution when loading the

trailer.

Petrol and diesel engines

The maximum permissible vertical

coupling load (55 kg) is specified on

the towing equipment identification

plate and in the vehicle documents.

Always aim for the maximum load,

especially in the case of heavy

trailers. The vertical coupling load

should never fall below 25 kg.

Engine B14XEL LPG

The maximum permissible vertical

coupling load (45 kg) is specified on

the towing equipment identification

plate and in the vehicle documents.

Always aim for the maximum load,

especially in the case of heavy

trailers. The vertical coupling load

should never fall below 25 kg.

Rear axle load

212 Vehicle care

Wheels and tyres

Tyre condition, wheel condition

Drive over edges slowly and at right

angles if possible. Driving over sharp

edges can cause tyre and wheel

damage. Do not trap tyres on the kerb

when parking.

Regularly check the wheels for

damage. Seek the assistance of a

workshop in the event of damage or

unusual wear.

We recommend not swapping the

front wheels with the rear wheels and

vice versa, as this can affect vehicle

stability. Always use less worn tyres

on the rear axle.

Winter tyres

Winter tyres improve driving safety at

temperatures below 7 °C and should

therefore be fitted on all wheels.

All tyre sizes are permitted as winter

tyres 3 252.

In accordance with country-specific

regulations, affix the speed sticker in

the driver's field of view.

Tyre designations

E.g. 195/55 R 16 95 H

195 : tyre width, mm

55 : cross-section ratio (tyre height

to tyre width), percentage

R: belt type: Radial

RF : type: RunFlat

16 : wheel diameter, inches

95 : load index e.g. 95 is equivalent

to 690 kg

H: speed code letter

Speed code letter:

Q: up to 160 km/h

S: up to 180 km/h

T: up to 190 km/h

H: up to 210 km/h

V: up to 240 km/h

W: up to 270 km/h

Choose a tyre appropriate for the

maximum speed of your vehicle.

The maximum speed is achievable at

kerb weight with driver (75 kg) plus

125 kg payload. Optional equipment

could reduce the maximum speed of

the vehicle.

Performance 3 246.

Directional tyres

Directional tyres must be mounted so

that they rotate in the correct

direction. The proper rotation

direction is indicated by a symbol

(e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall.

Tyre pressure

Check the pressure of cold tyres at

least every 14 days and before any

long journey. Do not forget the spare

wheel.

This also applies to vehicles with tyre

pressure monitoring system.

Unscrew the valve cap.

Vehicle care 213

Tyre pressure 3 252.

The tyre pressure information label

on the right door frame indicates the

original equipment tyres and the

correspondent tyre pressures.

The tyre pressure data refers to cold

tyres. It applies to summer and winter

tyres.

The ECO tyre pressure serves to

achieve the smallest amount of fuel

consumption possible.

Incorrect tyre pressures will impair

safety, vehicle handling, comfort and

fuel economy and will increase tyre

wear.

Tyre pressures differ depending on

various options.

For the correct tyre pressure value,

follow the procedure below:

● Identify the engine identifier

code. Engine data 3 244.

● Identify the respective tyre.

● The tyre pressure tables show all

possible tyre combinations

3 252.

For the tyres approved for your

vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of

Conformity provided with your vehicle

or other national registration

documents.

The driver is responsible for correct

adjustment of tyre pressure.

9Warning

If the pressure is too low, this can

result in considerable tyre warm-

up and internal damage, leading to

tread separation and even to tyre

blow-out at high speeds.

9Warning

For specific tyres the

recommended tyre pressure as

shown in the tyre pressure table

may exceed the maximum tyre

pressure as indicated on the tyre.

Never exceed the maximum tyre

pressure as indicated on the tyre.

If the tyre pressure must be reduced

or increased, switch off ignition. After

adjusting tyre pressure switch on

Temperature dependency

The tyre pressure depends on the

temperature of the tyre. During

driving, tyre temperature and

pressure increase. Tyre pressure

values provided on the tyre

information label and tyre pressure

chart are valid for cold tyres, which

means at 20 °C.

The pressure increases by nearly

10 kPa for a 10 °C temperature

increase. This must be considered

when warm tyres are checked.

The tyre pressure value displayed in

the Driver Information Centre shows

the real tyre pressure. A cooled down

tyre will show a decreased value,

which does not indicate an air leak.

214 Vehicle care

Tyre pressure monitoring

system

The tyre pressure monitoring system

checks the pressure of all four tyres

once a minute when vehicle speed

exceeds a certain limit.

Caution

Tyre pressure monitoring system

warns only about low tyre pressure

condition and does not replace

regular tyre maintenance by the

driver.

All wheels must be equipped with

pressure sensors and the tyres must

have the prescribed pressure.

Note

In countries where the tyre pressure

monitoring system is legally

required, the use of wheels without

pressure sensors will invalidate the

vehicle type approval.

The current tyre pressures can be

shown in the Vehicle Information

Menu ? in the Driver Information

Centre.

The menu can be selected by

pressing the buttons on the turn

signal lever.

Press MENU to select the Vehicle

Information Menu ?.

Turn the adjuster wheel to select the

tyre pressure monitoring system.

Midlevel display:

The tyre pressure for each tyre is

displayed on its own page.

Uplevel display:

Vehicle care 215

The tyre pressures for all tyres are

displayed on one page.

System status and pressure warnings

are displayed by a message

indicating the corresponding tyre in

the Driver Information Centre.

The system considers the tyre

temperature for the warnings.

Temperature dependency 3 212.

A detected low tyre pressure

condition is indicated by the control

indicator w 3 95.

If w illuminates, stop as soon as

possible and inflate the tyres as

recommended 3 252.

If w flashes for 60-90 seconds then

illuminates continuously, there is a

fault in the system. Consult a

workshop.

After inflating, some driving may be

required to update the tyre pressure

values in the Driver Information

Centre. During this time w may

illuminate.

If w illuminates at lower temperatures

and extinguishes after driving, this

could be an indicator for approaching

a low tyre pressure condition. Check

tyre pressure.

Vehicle messages 3 103.

If the tyre pressure must be reduced

or increased, switch off ignition.

Only mount wheels with pressure

sensors, otherwise the tyre pressure

will not be displayed and w

illuminates continuously.

A spare wheel or temporary spare

wheel is not equipped with pressure

sensors. The tyre pressure

monitoring system is not operational

for these tyres. Control indicator w

illuminates. For the further three

tyres, the system remains

operational.

The use of commercially-available

liquid tyre repair kits can impair the

function of the system. Factory-

approved repair kits can be used.

Operating electronic devices or being

close to facilities using similar wave

frequencies could disrupt the tyre

pressure monitoring system.

Each time the tyres are replaced, tyre

pressure monitoring system sensors

must be dismounted and serviced.

For the screwed sensor; replace

valve core and sealing ring. For the

clipped sensor; replace complete

valve stem.

Tyre pressure sensor matching

process

Each TPMS sensor has a unique

identification code. The identification

code must be matched to a new

wheel position after rotating the

wheels or exchanging the complete

wheel set and if one or more tyre

pressure sensors were replaced. The

tyre pressure sensor matching

process should also be performed

after replacing a spare wheel with a

road wheel containing a tyre pressure

sensor.

The malfunction light w and the

warning message or code should

extinguish at the next ignition cycle.

The sensors are matched to the

wheel positions, using a relearn tool,

in the following order: left side front

wheel, right side front wheel, right

side rear wheel and left side rear

wheel. The turn signal light at the

current active position is illuminated

until sensor is matched.

Consult a workshop for service. There

are two minutes to match the first

wheel position, and five minutes

overall to match all four wheel

positions. If it takes longer, the

matching process stops and must be

restarted.

The tyre pressure sensor matching

process is:

1. Apply the parking brake.

2. Turn the ignition on.

Vehicle care 217

3. On vehicles with automatic

transmission: set the selector

lever to P.

On vehicles with manual

transmission automated: Keep

brake pedal depressed. Move and

hold the selector lever for five

set according to the selected

pressure 3 97.

Tread depth

Check tread depth at regular

intervals.

Tyres should be replaced for safety

reasons at a tread depth of 2-3 mm

(4 mm for winter tyres).

For safety reasons it is recommended

that the tread depth of the tyres on

one axle should not vary by more than

2 mm.

The legally permissible minimum

tread depth (1.6 mm) has been

reached when the tread has worn

down as far as one of the tread wear

indicators (TWI). Their position is

indicated by markings on the

sidewall.

Tyres age, even if they are not used.

We recommend tyre replacement

every six years.

Changing tyre and wheel

size

If tyres of a different size than those

fitted at the factory are used, it may be

necessary to reprogramme the

speedometer as well as the nominal

tyre pressure and to make other

vehicle modifications.

After converting to a different tyre

size, have the label with tyre

pressures replaced.

Caution

When converting to wheels with

14 inch diameter, the ground

clearance will be reduced. This

must be considered when passing

over obstacles.

9Warning

Use of unsuitable tyres or wheels

may lead to accidents and will

invalidate the vehicle type

approval.

Wheel covers

Wheel covers and tyres that are

factory approved for the respective

vehicle and comply with all of the

relevant wheel and tyre combination

requirements must be used.

Vehicle care 219

If the wheel covers and tyres used are

not factory approved, the tyres must

not have a rim protection ridge.

Appearance care

Exterior care

Locks

The locks are lubricated at the factory

using a high quality lock cylinder

grease. Use a de-icing agent only

when absolutely necessary, as this

has a degreasing effect and impairs

lock function. After using a de-icing

agent, have the locks regreased by a

workshop.

Washing

The paintwork of your vehicle is

exposed to environmental influences.

Wash and wax your vehicle regularly.

When using automatic vehicle

washes, select a programme that

includes waxing. Restrictions for

filmed or matt painted body parts or

decor tapes, see "Polishing and

waxing".

Bird droppings, dead insects, resin,

pollen and the like should be cleaned

off immediately, as they contain

aggressive constituents which can

cause paint damage.

Vehicle care 233

If using a car wash, comply with the

car wash manufacturer's instructions.

The windscreen wiper and rear

window wiper must be switched off.

Remove antenna and external

accessories such as roof racks etc.

If you wash your vehicle by hand,

make sure that the insides of the

wheel housings are also thoroughly

rinsed out.

Clean edges and folds on opened

doors and the bonnet as well as the

areas they cover.

Clean bright metal mouldings with a

cleaning solution approved for

aluminium to avoid damages.

Caution

Always use a cleaning agent with

a pH value of four to nine.

Do not use cleaning agents on hot

surfaces.

Have the door hinges of all doors

greased by a workshop.

Do not clean the engine compartment

with a steam-jet or high-pressure jet

cleaner.

Thoroughly rinse and leather-off the

vehicle. Rinse leather frequently. Use

separate leathers for painted and

glass surfaces: remnants of wax on

the windows will impair vision.

Do not use hard objects to remove

spots of tar. Use tar removal spray on

painted surfaces.

Exterior lights

Headlight and other light covers are

made of plastic. Do not use any

abrasive or caustic agents, do not use

an ice scraper, and do not clean them

dry.

Polishing and waxing

Wax painted parts of the vehicle

regularly (at the latest when water no

longer beads). Otherwise, the

paintwork will dry out.

Polishing is necessary only if the paint

has become dull or if solid deposits

have become attached to it.

Paintwork polish with silicone forms a

protective film, making waxing

unnecessary.

Unpainted plastic body parts must not

be treated with wax or polishing

agents.

Matt filmed body parts or decor tapes

must not be polished, to avoid

gleaming. Do not use hot wax

programmes in automatic car washes

if the vehicle is equipped with these

parts.

Matt painted decor parts, e.g. mirror

housing cover, must not be polished.

Otherwise these parts would become

agleam or the colour would be

dissolved.

Windows and windscreen wiper

blades

Use a soft lint-free cloth or chamois

leather together with window cleaner

and insect remover.

When cleaning the rear window from

inside, always wipe in parallel to the

heating element to prevent damage.

For mechanical removal of ice, use a

sharp-edged ice scraper. Press the

scraper firmly against the glass so

that no dirt can get under it and

scratch the glass.

234 Vehicle care

Clean smearing wiper blades with a

soft cloth and window cleaner.

Remove dirt residues from smearing

wiper blades by using a soft cloth and

window cleaner. Also make sure to

remove any residues such as wax,

insect residues and similar from the

window.

Ice residues, pollution and continuous

wiping on dry windows will damage or

even destroy the wiper blades.

Sunroof

Never clean with solvents or abrasive

agents, fuels, aggressive media (e.g.

paint cleaner, acetone-containing

solutions etc.), acidic or highly

alkaline media or abrasive pads. Do

not apply wax or polishing agents to

the sunroof.

Wheels and tyres

Do not use high-pressure jet

cleaners.

Clean rims with a pH-neutral wheel

cleaner.

Rims are painted and can be treated

with the same agents as the body.

Paintwork damage

Rectify minor paintwork damage with

a touch-up pen before rust forms.

Have more extensive damage or rust

areas repaired by a workshop.

Underbody

Some areas of the vehicle underbody

have a PVC undercoating while other

critical areas have a durable

protective wax coating.

After the underbody is washed, check

the underbody and have it waxed if

necessary.

Bitumen/rubber materials could

damage the PVC coating. Have

underbody work carried out by a

workshop.

Before and after winter, wash the

underbody and have the protective

wax coating checked.

Liquid gas system

9Danger

Liquid gas is heavier than air and

can collect in sink points.

Take care when performing work

at the underbody in a pit.

For painting work and when using a

drying booth at a temperature above

60 °C, the liquid gas tank must be

removed.

Do not make any modifications to the

liquid gas system.

Towing equipment

Do not clean the coupling ball bar with

a steam-jet or high-pressure jet

cleaner.

Rear carrier system

Clean the rear carrier system with a

steam-jet or high-pressure jet cleaner

at least once a year.

Operate the rear carrier system

periodically if not in regular use, in

particular during winter.

Vehicle care 235

Interior care

Interior and upholstery

Only clean the vehicle interior,

including the instrument panel fascia

and panelling, with a dry cloth or

interior cleaner.

Clean the leather upholstery with

clear water and a soft cloth. In case of

heavy soiling, use leather care.

The instrument cluster and the

displays should only be cleaned using

a soft damp cloth. If necessary use a

weak soap solution.

Clean fabric upholstery with a

vacuum cleaner and brush. Remove

stains with an upholstery cleaner.

Clothing fabrics may not be

colourfast. This could cause visible

discolourations, especially on light-

coloured upholstery. Removable

stains and discolourations should be

cleaned as soon as possible.

Clean seat belts with lukewarm water

or interior cleaner.

Caution

Close Velcro fasteners as open

Velcro fasteners on clothing could

damage seat upholstery.

The same applies to clothing with

sharp-edged objects, like zips or

belts or studded jeans.

Plastic and rubber parts

Plastic and rubber parts can be

cleaned with the same cleaner as

used to clean the body. Use interior

cleaner if necessary. Do not use any

other agent. Avoid solvents and petrol

in particular. Do not use high-

pressure jet cleaners.

General information

Service information

In order to ensure 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.

The detailed, up-to-date service

schedule for your vehicle is available

at the workshop.

Service display 3 87.

European service intervals

Maintenance of your vehicle is

required every 30,000 km or after

one year, whichever occurs first,

unless otherwise indicated in the

service display.

A shorter service interval can be valid

for severe driving behaviour, e.g. for

taxis and police vehicles.

The European service intervals are

valid for the following countries:

Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia-

Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia,

Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark,

Estonia, Finland, France, Germany,

Greece, Greenland, Hungary,

Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia,

Liechtenstein, Lithuania,

Luxembourg, Macedonia, Malta,

Monaco, Montenegro, Netherlands,

Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania,

San Marino, Serbia, Slovakia,

Slovenia, Spain, Sweden,

Switzerland, United Kingdom.

Service display 3 87.

International service intervals

Maintenance of your vehicle is

required every 15,000 km or after

one year, whichever occurs first,

unless otherwise indicated in the

service display.

Severe operating conditions exist if

one or more of the following

circumstances occur frequently: Cold

starting, stop and go operation, trailer

operation, mountain driving, driving

on poor and sandy road surfaces,

increased air pollution, presence of

airborne sand and high dust content,

Service and maintenance 237

driving at high altitude and large

variations of temperature. Under

these severe operating conditions,

certain service work may be required

more frequently than the regular

service interval.

The international service intervals are

valid for the countries which are not

listed in the European service

intervals.

Service display 3 87.

Confirmations

Confirmation of service is recorded in

the Service and Warranty Booklet.

The date and mileage is completed

with the stamp and signature of the

servicing workshop.

Make sure that the Service and

Warranty Booklet is completed

correctly as continuous proof of

service is essential if any warranty or

goodwill claims are to be met, and is

also a benefit when selling the

vehicle.

Service interval with remaining

engine oil life duration

The service interval is based on

several parameters depending on

usage.

The service display lets you know

when to change the engine oil.

9Warning

Operating materials are

hazardous and could be

poisonous. Handle with care. Pay

attention to information given on

the containers.

Engine oil

Engine oil is identified by its quality

and its viscosity. Quality is more

important than viscosity when

selecting which engine oil to use. The

oil quality ensures e.g. engine

cleanliness, wear protection and oil

aging control, whereas viscosity

grade gives information on the oil's

thickness over a temperature range.

238 Service and maintenance

Dexos is the newest engine oil quality

that provides optimum protection for

petrol and diesel engines. If it is

unavailable, engine oils of other listed

qualities have to be used.

Recommendations for petrol engines

are also valid for Compressed Natural

Gas (CNG), Liquified Petroleum Gas

(LPG) and Ethanol (E85) fuelled

engines.

Select the appropriate engine oil

based on its quality and on the

minimum ambient temperature

3 241.

Topping up engine oil

Engine oils of different manufacturers

and brands can be mixed as long as

they comply with the required engine

oil quality and viscosity.

Use of engine oil with only

ACEA A1/B1 or only A5/B5 quality is

prohibited, since it can cause long-

term engine damage under certain

operating conditions.

Select the appropriate engine oil

based on its quality and on the

minimum ambient temperature

3 241.

Additional engine oil additives

The use of additional engine oil

additives could cause damage and

invalidate the warranty.

Engine oil viscosity grades

The SAE viscosity grade gives

information of the thickness of the oil.

Multigrade oil is indicated by two

figures, e.g. SAE 5W-30. The first

figure, followed by a W, indicates the

low temperature viscosity and the

second figure the high temperature

viscosity.

Select the appropriate viscosity grade

depending on the minimum ambient

temperature 3 241.

All of the recommended viscosity

grades are suitable for high ambient

temperatures.

Coolant and antifreeze

Use only silicate-free long life coolant

(LLC) antifreeze. Consult a

workshop.

The system is factory filled with

coolant designed for excellent

corrosion protection and frost

protection down to approx. -28 °C. In

northern countries with very low

temperatures the factory filled coolant

provides frost protection down to

approx. -37 °C. This concentration

should be maintained all year round.

The use of additional coolant

additives that intend to give additional

corrosion protection or seal against

minor leaks can cause function

problems. Liability for consequences

resulting from the use of additional

coolant additives will be rejected.

Washer fluid

Use only washer fluid approved for

the vehicle to prevent damage of

wiper blades, paintwork, plastic and

rubber parts. Consult a workshop.

Brake and clutch fluid

Over time, brake fluid absorbs

moisture which will reduce braking

effectiveness. The brake fluid should

therefore be replaced at the specified

interval.

Vehicle data recording

and privacy

Event data recorders

Data storage modules in the

vehicle

A large number of electronic

components of your vehicle contain

data storage modules temporarily or

permanently storing technical data

about the condition of the vehicle,

events and errors. In general, this

technical information documents the

condition of parts, modules, systems

or the environment:

● Operating conditions of system

components (e.g. filling levels).

● Status messages of the vehicle

and its single components (e.g.

number of wheel revolutions /

rotational speed, deceleration,

lateral acceleration).

● Dysfunctions and defects in

important system components.

Customer information 259

● Vehicle reactions in particular

driving situations (e.g. inflation of

an airbag, activation of the

stability regulation system).

● Environmental conditions (e.g.

temperature).

These data are exclusively technical

and help identifying and correcting

errors as well as optimizing vehicle

functions.

Motion profiles indicating travelled

routes cannot be created with these

data.

If services are used (e.g. repair

works, service processes, warranty

cases, quality assurance),

employees of the service network

(manufacturer included) are able to

read out this technical information

from the event and error data storage

modules applying special diagnostic

devices. If required, you will receive

further information at these

workshops. After an error has been

corrected, the data are deleted from

the error storage module or they are

constantly overwritten.

When using the vehicle, situations

may occur in which these technical

data related to other information

(accident report, damages on the

vehicle, witness statements etc.) may

be associated with a specific person -

possibly, with the assistance of an

expert.

Additional functions contractually

agreed upon with the client (e.g.

vehicle location in emergency cases)

allow the transmission of particular

vehicle data from the vehicle.

Radio Frequency

Identification (RFID)

RFID technology is used in some

vehicles for functions such as tyre

pressure monitoring and ignition

system security. It is also used in

connection with conveniences such

as radio remote controls for door

locking/unlocking and starting, and in-

vehicle transmitters for garage door

openers. RFID technology in Opel

vehicles does not use or record

personal information or link with any

other Opel system containing

personal information.
