157Driving an d Operation
If a complete set of wheels without Tyre
Pressure Monitoring System 3 sensors is
mounted (e.g. four winter tyres), no error
message will be displayed. The Tyre
Pressure Monitoring System is not
operational. The tyre pressure of a set of
wheels without sensors is monitored by the
Deflation Detection System see
page 154.
Sensors for the Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System can b e fitted at a later date by a
workshop upon request.
W hen ma nu ally ch eck ing tyre pr e ss ure w ith
a pressure gauge, screw the adapter onto
the valve. Tyre pressure
see pages 160, 220.
Every time you change a tyre, the valve
inserts a nd se aling rings from the Tyre
Pressure Monitoring System must be
replaced by a workshop.
The use of com mercially available liquid
filled run-flat systems or repair kits can
impair the function of the system.
Vauxhall-approved systems can be used.
Radio transmitters (e.g. radio headphones,
walkie-talkies) ope ra ted in the area could
cause interfe rence in the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System.
Brake system
The effectiveness of the brakes is an
important factor for traffic safety.
To improve effective ness, do not brake
unnecessarily hard for the first 125 miles
(200 km) after new brake pads ha ve been
fitted.
Brake pad wear must not exceed a
specified limit. Regular maintenance as
detailed in the Service Booklet is therefore
of the utmost importance for traffic safety.
Have worn brake pads replaced by a
workshop.
Pads which have been tested and passed
ensure optimum brak e pe rform ance.
Brake pads worn to their minimum are
noisy. It is possible to continue driving.
Have your brake pads replaced as soon as
possible. Seek the assistance of a workshop
for replacing the brake pads.
Brake assist
Powerful app lication of the brake pedal
automatically applies m aximum braking
force amplification to achieve the shortest
possible braking distance under full
braking (brake assist).
Maintain steady pre ssure on the b rake
pedal for as long as full-on braking is to
continue. When the brake pedal is
re leased, the m aximum b ra ke force
amplification is taken away.
Adaptive brake light 3
During full-on braking, all three brake
lights flash for the duration of ABS control.
Footbrake
The footbrake comprises two independent
brake circuits.
If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can still be
braked using the other brake circuit.
However, braking effect is achieved only
when you depress the pedal firmly. You
need to use considerably more force for
this. The braking distance is extended.
Seek the assistance of a workshop before
continuing your journey.
To ensure the full pedal travel can be
utilized, especially in case of a fault in one
of the brake circuits, there must be no mats
in the vicinity of the pedals see page 142.
When the engine is not running, the
assistance 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. This is especially
important to bear in mind when towing.
