Trend-setting technology
When developing and manufacturing your
vehicle, Vauxhall used environment-
friendly and in the main recyclable
materials. The production methods used to
mak e y our v ehicle are likewise
environmentally-compatible.
Recycling of production wastes keeps the
circulation of material closed. Reduction of
energy and water requirements also helps
to conserve natural resources.
A highly advanced design means that your
vehicle can be easily disassembled at the
end of its working life, and the individual
materials separated for subsequent re-use.
Materials such as asbestos and cadmium
are not used . The refrigerant in the air
conditioning system is CFC-free.
New painting techniques employ water as
a solvent.
End-of-life vehicle recovery

on-going commitment to achieving an
environmentally susta inab le future,
including; design for recycling, take back of
End-of-Life Vehicle’s (ELVs) and the
recycling of ELVs, view

Drive in an energy and
enviro nmen t-co nscious wa y
z High fuel consumption, noise levels and
exhaust emissions are often caused by a
driving style that is not energy and
environment-conscious.
z You should therefore drive with energy in
mind: "more miles / kilometres with less
fuel".
z Reduce the noise level and exhaust
emissions by adopting an environment-
conscious driving style. This is extremely
worthwhile and im proves quality of life.
Fuel consumption depends to a great
extent on your own personal driving style.
The following hints are intended to help
you consume fuel at a rate that is as close
as possible to the specified levels.
Check your vehicle’s fuel consumption
every time you refuel. This facilitates early
detection of a ny irregularities causing
increased fuel consumption.
Warming up
z Full throttle and w arming up at idle
speed increase wear, fuel consumption,
fuel emission, the amount of pollutant in
the exhaust and the amount of noise.
z Drive off immediately after starting.
Warm up the engine by running it at
moderate eng ine speeds.
Uniform speed
z Hectic driving significantly increases fuel
consumption, the quantity of emissions
and the proportion of pollutant in the
ex haust.
z Do not accelerate and brake
unnecessarily. Drive at uniform speed.
Avoid frequent starting-off and
stopping, e.g. at traffic lights, in short
distance traffic and in queues of tra ffic,
by means of clever planning. Select
roads with good traffic flow.
Idling
z The engine also consumes fuel when
idling.
z If you have to wait for more than one
minute, it is worthwhile switching off the
engine. Five minutes of idling
corresponds to approx. 0.6 miles (1 km)
of driving.
z Idling for more than 5 minutes can cause
excessive temperatures and damage to
ex haust system.
