Active head restraints 3 In the event of a rear-end impa ct, the active head restraints automatically tilt forward a little. The head is more effectively supported by the head restraint and the danger of injuries caused by hyperextension in the a rea of the cervic al vertebrae is reduced.

Active head restraints are id entified by the lettering ACTIVE on the head restraint guide bushes.

Parking Distance Sensor 3 The parking p ilot a utoma tica lly switches itself on w hen reversing.

If the vehicle a pproaches an obstacle w hen reversing, a series of signals c an be heard in the vehicle interior. The interval betw een the signa ls b ecomes shorter as the distance is reduced. If the distanc e is less than 30 cm, the signal will be continuous.

Notes on loading the vehiclez Heavy objec ts in the lug gage/load

com partment should be placed as far forward as p ossible against the rear seat backrests or, if the rear seat backrests are folded down, ag ainst the front seat backrests. If objects are to be stacked, the heav ier objects should be placed at the bottom. Unsecured objects in the lugga ge/load compartm ent would be thrown forward with great force, for instance in the event of heavy brak ing.

z Secure heavy objec ts with lashing straps 3 a ttac hed to lashing eyes 3 – see page 72. If heavy loads slip when the vehicle is braked heavily or driven around a bend, the handling of the vehicle may chang e.

z If objects are being transp orted in the luggage/load compartment, the rear seat backrests must be locked in position – see p ages 67, 69.

z Do not a llow the load to protrude ab ove the upp er edge of the rear seat back rests, or above the upper ed ge of the front seat b ackrests if the rear seat back rests a re folded down.

z The warning triangle 3 and first-aid kit (cushion) 3 m ust always be freely accessible.

z Do not place any objects in front of the rea r window or on the instrument pa nel. They are reflected in the glass, obstruct the driver’s view and will be thrown through the vehicle, for insta nce in the event of heavy b ra king.

z No objects must be plac ed in the area in which the airb ags inflate, as they could cause injury when the airbag s a re triggered.

z The load must not hinder hand brake opera tion or gear shifting or im pair the driver in any w ay.

z Do not d rive with luggage com partment open when transp orting bulky objects, for example, sinc e toxic exhaust fumes could penetrate the interior.

z Weights, payload and roof loa d – see page 240.

z Driv ing with a roof load (see pages 138, 141, 165) increases the sensitivity of the vehicle to crosswinds and has a detrimenta l effec t on vehicle handling owing to the vehicle’s higher centre of gravity.

z Combo: If objects are tra nsported in the loa d compartment, the split load compartment grille 3 must a lw ays be loc ked in one of the retainers and the lever must be engaged at its bottom position – see pa ge 72.

z Combo: Close the luggag e compartment cover so there is no reflection in the rear window.

Safety systems Three-stage safety system Comprising:

z three-point seat belts,

z belt tensioners a t the front seats,

z airbag systems for driver’s seat, passenger seat 3 and outboard rear seats 3.

The three stag es are a ctivated in sequence depending on the severity of the acc id ent:

z The automa tic seat belt locking devices prevent the belt strap from being pulled out and thus ensure that the vehicle occupants are retained in their seats.

z The front seat b elt buckles are p ulled downwards. As a result, the seat b elts are instantaneously tightened and the occupants are made aware of the deceleration of the vehicle at a very ea rly stage. This reduces the stress placed on the body.

z The airbag systems a re also triggered in the event of severe accidents and form a safety cushion for the occupants.

Thoroughly read the instructions acc om panying the c hild restra int system !

The airbag systems 3 serve to supplement the three-p oint sea t belts and belt tensioners. The seat belts must therefore always be worn. Disregard of these instructions may lead to injuries or endanger life. Vehicle p assengers should be informed accordingly.

79

Seat belts In the event of an accident, persons not wearing sea t belts enda ng er their fellow oc cup ants and themselves.

Control indica tor X for the seat belt – see page 29.

Sea t belts are desig ned to be used by only one person at a time. They are not suitable for c hildren under 12 yea rs of ag e or 150 cm unless an appropriate child restra int system is used .

For children up to 12 years of age, we recommend the Vauxhall child restraint system – see pa ge 95.

Three-point seat belts The vehicle is equipped with three-point seat belts with automatic retrac tors and locking d evices, allowing freedom of body movement although the spring tensioned belts always ensure a snug fit. Correct seat position – see pages 64, 82, 85.

The belt has a "vehicle sensitive retra ctor" which is designed to lock during hea vy acc eleration or deceleration in any direction.

Alwa ys wea r your seat belt, and that means also in urb an traffic and when you are a rear seat passenger. It can save your life!

Pregnant women m ust alwa ys wear a seat belt – see page 82.

80

Belt tens ioners The front seat belts are equip ped w ith belt tensioners. In the event of a head -on or rea r-end collision of a certain severity, the buckles are pulled downwards, thereby tightening the belts.

Actuation of belt tensioners is indicated by illum ina tion of control indica tor v – see next page.

The belt tensioners must be replaced after activation. We recommend that you consult your Va uxha ll Authorised Repairer.

If the seat belts are undama ged the operation thereof is unaffec ted, even if the belt tensioners have b een trigg ered .

Further information – see page 83.

81

Control indica tor v for belt tensioners The b elt tensioners are elec tronically monitored together with the airbag systems. Their operationa l readiness is indicated on the instrument panel b y control indica tor v. When the ignition is switched on, the control indica tor illuminates for approx. 4 seconds. If it does not illum inate, d oes not go off within 4 seconds, or illuminates whilst d riv ing, there is a fault in the belt tensioner system or the a irb ag systems – see p age 89. The belt tensioner or the airbag systems may fail to trigger in the event of an a ccident.

The system’s integ ra ted self-diagnostics allow s faults to be quickly remedied. Have your Car Pass on hand when consulting an Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Imp or tant

z Do not fit accessories not sp ecifically released for your vehicle type or store objec ts in the belt tensioner operating area (in the area of the belt tensioners) due to the risk of injury in the event the belt tensioners a re triggered.

z Do not make any modifications to the components of the belt tensioners, as this will render the vehicle unroadw orthy.

z The belt tensioner and airbag system control electronics can be found in the centre console area. In order to avoid malfunctions, do not store mag netic objects in this a rea.

z We recom mend that you have the front seats removed by a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

z The belt tensioners only actuate once. Please replace belt tensioners that have been triggered. We recom mend tha t you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

z Applicable safety directives must always be ob served when disposing of the vehicle. For this reason, d isposal should be performed by an authorised recycling company. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Have the cause of the fa ult remedied. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised R epairer.

Imp roper handling (e.g. removal or installation) could cause the belt tensioners to be triggered. Risk of injury!

82

Using the belts Fitting seat bel ts Pull the belt out of the retractor and guide it across the body, making certain that it is not twisted.

Insert latch plate into buckle. Backrest must not be tilted too far back as this would affect the opera tion of the seat belts; recommended tilting a ng le app rox . 25°. The lap belt must be straight and lie snugly against the body. Tighten lap belt at frequent intervals whilst driving by tugging diagonal pa rt of belt.

Bulky clothing prevents the belt from fitting prop erly. The belt must not rest against ha rd or fragile objects in the pockets of your clothing (e.g. ballpoint pens, keys, spectacles) because these could cause injury. Do not place any objec ts (e.g. ha ndb ags, mobile phones) b etween the belt and your body.

Height adjustm ent of front seat belt upper a nchorage points:

1. Pull b elt out slig htly.

2. Press belt guide or, in 5-door hatch, push button down.

3. Set desired height.

4. Allow to loc k audibly into p osition.

Do not adjust height while driving .

On pregnant women in particular, the lap belt must be positioned as low as possible ac ross the pelv is so as not to put too much pressure on the abdomen.

83

Adjust height such that the belt p asses over the shoulder and rests against the shoulder. It must not p ass over the neck or upper arm.

Rem oving the b el t To remove the belt, d epress the red pushbutton on the buckle; the b elt will retract automatically.

Three-point seat b el t on centre rear sea t The belt can only be pulled out of the retractor 3 if the rear seat backrests are engaged in their retainers – see page 69.

Testing the belts Plea se check all parts of the b elt system occasionally for dama ge a nd correct operation. H ave da maged parts replaced . In ca se of an accident, please replace overstretc hed belts and triggered belt tensioners. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer.

Do not perform any altera tions on the belts, their anchorages, the automatic retrac tors or the belt buck les.

Make sure that b elts are not da maged or trapped by sharp-edged objec ts.

84

Vauxhall Full Size airbag system Front airb ag The front airbag system is identified by the word AIRBAG on the steering wheel and above the glove c om partment 3.

The front airbag system comprises:

z an airbag with inflator in the steering wheel and a second one in the instrum ent panel 3,

z the control elec tronics with impact sensor,

z the a irba g system s control indicator v in the instrument panel.

z seat occ upa ncy rec og nition 3,

z the control indicator for Va uxha ll child restraint systems y with transponders 3 in the courtesy light.

The front airb ag system will be trigg ered :

z depending on the severity of the accident,

z depending on the type of impact,

z within the range shown in the illustration,

z indep endently of the side airb ag system 3 and curtain airbag system 3.

Exception: Passenger sea t with seat occupancy recognition system 3 . The seat occupancy recognition system deactiva tes the front and side airbags on the p assenger sid e if the front passenger seat is unoccupied or a Vauxhall child restraint system with transponders 3 has b een fitted to the front passenger seat. Seat occupa ncy recognition – see p age 89. Vauxhall child restraint system with transponders 3 – see pag e 96.

Examples of events triggering the front airbag system:

z Impact against a non-y ielding obstacle: The front airbags are trigg ered at low vehicle speed.

z Impact against a yield ing obstacle(such as another vehicle): The front airbags are only triggered at a hig her vehicle speed.

85

When trigg ered , the front airbags inflate in milliseconds to form a safety cushion for the d river and front passenger. The forward movement of the front seat occupants is c hecked, thereby sub stantially reducing the risk of injury to the upp er body and hea d.

No im pairment of view will occur, because the a irb ags inflate and deflate so quickly that it is often not even noticed in an accident.

The front airbag system will not be triggered in the event of z the ignition is switched off, z minor frontal collisions, z accidents in which the vehicle overturns, z collisions involving a side or rear impa ct, that is to say, if it w ould not be of benefit to the oc cup ants.

The front airbag system provides optimum p rotection when the seat, back rest and head restra int are correctly adjusted: Adjust the driver’s seat according to the occupant’s height so that when the driver is sitting up rig ht, the steering wheel is held in the a rea of its upper sp okes with the d river’s arms slightly bent. The pa ssenger seat should be as far back as possible, with the back rest upright (see pa ges 5, 64, 82). Do not place the head, b od y, hands or feet on the covers of the airbag systems.

Do not place any objects in the area in which the airb ags inflate. Im portant inform ation – see page 92.

The three-point seat belt must be correctly fitted – see page 82.

86

In addition, the front airb ag system will not be triggered for the front passenger in versions with seat occupancy recognition 3 if

z the front p assenger seat is unoccupied,

z there is a prop erly fitted Va uxha ll child restraint system with transponders 3 . Seat oc cup ancy recognition, see page 89. Vauxhall child restraint system with transponders 3 – see page 96.

Side airb ag 3 The side a irb ag system is identified by the word AIRBAG on the outb oa rd sides of the front seat backrests.

The side a irb ag system c om prises:

z an airbag with infla tor in the back of the driver’s and front passenger seat respectively ,

z the control electronics,

z the side impact sensors,

z the airbag systems c ontrol indicator v in the instrum ent panel,

z seat occ upa ncy rec og nition 3,

z the control indicator for Va uxha ll child restraint systems y with transponders 3 in the courtesy light.

The side airbag system will be triggered:

z depending on the severity of the accident,

z depending on the type of im pact,

z within the range shown in the illustration on the centre d oor pillar of the driver’s or front passenger side,

z ind epend ently of the front airbag system.

Exception: Pa ssenger seat with seat occupancy recognition system 3. The seat occupancy recognition system dea ctivates the pa ssenger front and sid e airbags if the passenger seat is unoccupied or a Vauxhall child restraint system with transponders 3 has been fitted to the passenger seat. Seat occupa ncy recognition – see p age 89. Vauxhall child restraint system with transponders 3 – see pag e 96.

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 event 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.

87

When triggered, the sid e airbag inflates in milliseconds to form a safety cushion for the d river or front passenger in the respective door area. This substantially red uces the risk of injury to the upper body in the event of a sid e-on collision.

The side airba gs will not be triggered in the event of

z the ig nition is sw itc hed off,

z fronta l collisions,

z accidents in which the vehicle overturns,

z collisions involving a rear impac t,

z collisions involving a side imp act outside the passenger cell.

In addition, the side airbag system w ill not be triggered for the front passenger in versions with seat occupa ncy recognition 3 if

z the front passenger seat is unoccupied,

z there is a properly fitted Vauxhall child restraint system with transpond ers 3. Seat occupancy recognition, see page 89. Va uxha ll c hild restraint system with transp onders 3 – see p age 96.

Cur tain ai rbag 3 The curtain a irba g system is identified by the word AIRBAG on the roof pillar trim.

The curtain a irba g system com prises:

z an airbag w ith inflator in the roof frame on the driver’s and front passenger side respectively,

z the control electronics,

z the side im pact sensors,

z the airb ag system s control indicator v in the instrument panel.

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 92.

The three-p oint seat b elt m ust always b e correctly fitted – see page 82.

88

The curtain airbag system will be triggered:

z depending on the severity of the accident,

z depending on the typ e of impa ct,

z within the range shown in the illustration on the centre door pillar of the driver’s or front passenger side,

z together with the side airbag system,

z irrespective of seat occupancy recognition,

z independently of the front airbag system .

When the curtain airbag is triggered it inflates w ithin milliseconds and provides a safety barrier in the hea d area on the respective side of the vehicle. This reduces the risk of injury to the head considerably in case of a side impact.

The curtain airbags will not b e triggered in the event of

z the ignition is switched off,

z frontal collisions,

z accidents in which the vehicle overturns,

z collisions involving a rear impact,

z collisions involving a side impact outside the passenger cell.

There m ust be no objec ts in the area in which the airbag inflates. Do not place the hands or arms on the covers of the airbag systems. Important information – see page 92.

The three-point seat belt must always be correctly fitted – see pag e 82.

89

Control indica tor v for airb ag systemsThe a irb ag systems are monitored electronic ally together with seat occupancy recognition 3 and the belt tensioners. Their opera tional readiness is shown b y control ind icator v in the instrument panel. When the ignition is switched on, the control indica tor illuminates for approx . 4 seconds. If it does not illum inate, d oes not go out after 4 seconds or illuminates while driving, there is a fault in the a irb ag systems, seat occupancy recognition 3 or the b elt tensioners – see page 81. The system s may fail to trigger in the event of an a ccident.

The system’s integ ra ted self-diagnostics allow s faults to be quickly remedied. Have your Car Pass on hand when consulting an Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Seat occup ancy r ecog ni tion 3 The seat occupa ncy recognition system deactivates the front and side passeng er airbags if the front passenger seat is unoccupied or a Vauxhall child restraint system with transponders 3 has been fitted to the front passenger seat. The curtain airbag system remains activated.

Control indica tor y for seat occupancy recognition is located in the courtesy light. If control indicator y illuminates for approx. 4 seconds when the ignition is switched on, the vehicle is equipped with seat oc cup ancy recognition – see page 90, Fig. 12097 S.

If a Vauxhall child restraint system w ith tra nsponders 3 is fitted, control indica tor y illuminates with a steady glow once the ignition has been switched on and the system has detected the seat. Only then can the child restraint system on the front passenger seat b e used.

Vehicles with sea t occupancy recognition can a lso be identified by a stic ker a t the bottom of the front pa ssenger seat.

Vauxhall child restraint systems with transponders 3 are automatically detected if correctly fitted to the front passenger seat. When these child restraint systems are being used on the front passenger seat, the front and side airbag systems for the front passenger seat are deactivated. The curta in a irb ag system remains a ctivated. Pay a ttention to seat occupancy recognition 3 control indica tor y – see page 90.

Have the cause of the fa ult remedied. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised R epairer.

90

Vauxhall child restraint systems with transponders 3 are identified by a sticker.

Control ind icator y for Va uxhallchild restraint systems with t ransponders 3 The presenc e of a Vauxhall c hild restraint system with transponders 3 is ind ic ated after the ig nition has been switched on by permanent illum ination of the c ontrol indica tor y in the courtesy light, as soon as the seat occupa ncy recognition system ha s d etec ted the child restraint system.

If the control indicator d oes not illuminate whilst driving, the front and side airbag have not been deactivated on the passenger side. Risk of fatal injury to the child – fit child restraint system to rear seat. Have c ause of fault remedied. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer.

If the child restraint system is fitted improperly or a tra nsponder is defective, the control indicator flashes. Check that the child restraint system is fitted properly . Fitting a child restraint system with transponders 3 – see the instructions acc om panying the c hild restra int system .

Only Vauxhall child restraint systems with transp onders 3 can be fitted on the front passenger seat; the use of systems without transponders poses a danger to life.

z Acc essories and other objects must not be affixed or placed in the a rea in which the airbags inflate a s they could cause injury if the airbags are trig gered.

z Do not p la ce a ny objects between the airb ag systems and the vehicle occ upa nts; d ang er of injury .

z Use the hooks in the roof frame only to hang up light articles of clothing or c oa t hangers. Do not place any objects in the pockets of the hanging items – risk of injury.

z The airbag system s and belt tensioner control electronics c an be found in the centre c onsole area. In ord er to avoid malfunctions, do not store magnetic ob jects in this area.

z Do not stick a nything on the steering wheel, instrument p anel, front seat backrests or roof fram e in the vicinity of the airbags, or on the front pa ssenger seat cushion, or cover any of those areas with other materials.

z Use only a dry cloth or interior cleaner to clean the steering wheel, instrum ent panel, front seat b ackrests, roof fram e and seat cushion of the front passenger seat. Do not use any a ggressive cleaning agents.

z Only protective covers whic h are approved for your Corsa/Combo w ith side airb ag may be fitted on the front seats. When fitting the protective covers, make sure that the airbag units on the outboard sides of the front seat back rests a re not covered.

z The airb ag systems are triggered indep endently of each other depending on the severity of the accident and the type of impa ct. The side airbag system and the curtain airbag system are triggered together.

z Each airbag can be trig gered only once. Onc e triggered, an airbag must be rep laced without delay. We recomm end that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

z The speeds, d irections of m ovement and deform ation p roperties of the vehicles, and the properties of the obstac le concerned, determine the severity of the accident and triggering of the airbags. The degree of da mage to your vehic le and the resulting repair costs alone are not indicative tha t the criteria for triggering of the airbags were m et.

z Do not perform any alterations on the components of the airbag system, as this would render the vehicle unroadworthy.

z We recom mend ha ving the steering wheel, the instrument panel, all panelling parts, the door sea ls, the handles and the seats removed by your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

z Applicable safety directives must always be ob served when disposing of the vehicle. For this reason, d isposal should be performed by an authorised recycling company. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

The systems can b e triggered abrup tly and cause injury if they are ha nd led improperly.

Seat occupancy recognition in a vehicle is also indica ted b y a sticker on the front passenger seat – see page 94, Fig. 12106 A.

The seat occupancy recognition system detects Vauxhall child restraint systems with transponders 3 and switches off the front a nd side airbag systems for the front passenger’s sea t. The curtain airbag system rem ains activated. Seat occ upa ncy recognition – see pa ge 89.

Vauxhall child restraint system s with trans- ponders 3 can be identified by the sticker on the child restraint system.

Child restraint system 3 The Vauxhall child restraint system is designed sp ecifically for your Vauxhall and thus provides optimum safety for your child in the event of impa ct. If a different child safety seat is used, follow the manufac turers’ instructions for fitting a nd use.

Selec ting the rig ht system Your child should be transported facing rearward in the car as long as possible. Change the system when the height of the child is such that the head extends over the top of the system and is no longer supported at eye level. The child ’s neck is still very weak. In the event of an ac cident, they are subjected to less stress in the semi-prone rea rw ard position than when up right.

Note z Children und er 12 years or under 150 cm

tall should only travel in an ap prop ria te child sa fety sea t.

z When transporting c hildren, use the child restra int system s suitable for the child’s weight.

z Be sure that c hild restra int system s a re properly installed – see the instructions accompanying the child restraint system.

z The covers of the Vauxhall child restraint system can b e wiped clean.

z Do not stick anything on the child restra int systems and do not cover them with any other m aterials.

z Only allow child ren to enter and exit at the side fa cing away from the traffic.

z A child restraint system which has been subjected to stress in an accident must be replaced.

The air conditioning will operate for a limited period of tim e.

To deactivate air conditioning, press the AUTO button.

124

Air intake The air intakes in front of the wind screen on the far left and right-hand sides of the engine compartment must be kept free of lea ves, d irt and snow.

Air outletDo not cover the air outlets when storing item s in the luggage com partment storage compartments.

Pollen filter The pollen filter cleans the air entering from outside and filters dust, soot, pollen and spores from the interior air if the air recirculation system 3 is active. The active carbon layer 3 e liminates m ost odours a nd ha rm ful a mbient ga ses from the air.

Have the pollen filter repla ced a t the intervals specified in the Service Booklet.

Note If the windsc reen is misted due to damp weather, temporarily set the system as desc ribed under "Wind ow dem isting". Settings – see pages 117, 118.

Cooling 3 functions most efficiently when the wind ow s a nd sun roof 3 are closed. If the passenger compa rtm ent has heated up considerably after a long period in direct sunlight, briefly open the windows and sun roof 3 so that the hot air can esca pe q uick ly .

125

When cooling 3 (air c onditioning compressor) is switched on condensation forms, which is expelled from the underside of the vehicle.

At lea st one air vent must b e open while cooling 3 (air conditioning compressor) is on in order to prevent the evaporator from icing up due to lack of air movement.

For trouble-free operation of the automatic climate control system 3, d o not c over the sensor between the air vents below the windscreen.

Maintenance In order to ensure consistently good op eration of the AC compressor 3, it m ust be operated several minutes one per month irrespective of the weather or season. It is not p ossible to operate the AC compressor 3 when outside temperatures are low.

If a fault occurs, consult a w orkshop. We recommend your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

126

Easytronic 3 The semi-automatic Easytronic tra nsmission permits manua l (manual mode) or a utomatic gear shifting (a utomatic mode), both with fully autom atic clutch control.

Transmiss ion display The current gear or mode is indicated in the tra nsmission display.

Selector level pos itions Selector lever in N Neutral.

The engine c an only be started with the lever in p osition N and with the foot brake depressed. The transm ission display shows "N". I f the foot brake is not depressed, "N" flashes.

Disregard of these instructions may lead to injuries or endanger life.

127

Selector lever in centre p osi tionWhen the selector lever is m oved from N to the m id position with the foot b ra ke depressed, Easytronic is in Automatic mode and first gear is engaged.

If the engine speed is too low the Easytronic will automatically shift to a lower g ear even in Manua l mode. This prevents the engine from stalling.

Selec tor lever in + or - + Shift to a higher gear.

- Shift to a lower gear.

If a higher g ear is selected when the running speed is too low, or a lower gear when the speed is too high, no shift is effected. This prevents the engine from running at too low or too high revs.

Gears can be skipped by jog ging the selector lever repeatedly at short intervals.

When the vehicle is in Automatic mode, Easytronic shifts to Manual mode when the selector lever is set to position + or -. The tra nsmission display shows the currently selected gear.

Selector lever in A/MSwitc h between Automatic and Manua l mode.

Selector lever in RReverse gear. Engage only when the vehicle is stationary . Press the button on the selector lever a nd select R. The transmission displa y will show "R".

In order to protect the Easytronic the winter programme automatically sw itches itself off at extremely high clutch temperatures.

Kickdown Ac celera tor pedal pressed past the pressure point: Below certain speeds, the tra nsmission shifts down into a lower gear. Full engine power is a vailable for acceleration.

During kickdown no manual gear shifting is possible.

When the engine speed approaches its up per limit, the transm ission shifts to a higher gea r during kickdown even in Manua l mode.

Without kickdown this automatic shift is not effected in Manual mode.

Engine braking assistance frommotor Autom atic mode:When driving d ow nhill, Ea sytronic does not shift into higher g ears until a fairly high eng ine speed has been rea ched. When brak ing, Easytronic shifts down in good time.

Ma nua l mode:To utilise the engine braking effect, selec t a lower gear in good time when driving downhill.

129

Stopping the vehicle When the selector lever is in the centre position and the vehic le is stationary , first gear is autom atically engaged (second gear if the Winter programme is activated) and the clutc h is open.

If a warning signal sound s w hen the driver’s door is opened (foot brake not depressed), m ove the selector lever to N and ap ply the ha nd brake.

When stop ping on gradients, eng age the hand brake or depress the bra ke pedal. To prevent overheating of the clutch, do not increase engine speed to ensure smooth idling when in gear.

Switch off eng ine if stop ping for a lengthy period, e.g. in traffic jams or at level crossings.

Vehicle storageBefore leaving the vehicle: z eng age hand brake,z rem ove ignition key.

The last gea r engaged is retained. When the selector lever is in position N no gea r is engaged.

When the ignition is switched off the Easytronic no longer responds to movem ent of the selector lever.

If the ignition key is not removed, the battery m ay be discharged if the vehicle is then left to stand for a lengthy period of tim e.

If the hand b ra ke has not been applied , the control indicator R flashes for a few second s a fter the ignition is switched off.

Rocking the car If it becomes necessary to rock the vehicle to free it from sand, m ud , snow or a hole, move the selector lever between the mid position a nd R in a repea t pattern while simultaneously applying light p ressure to the accelerator ped al. Do not race the eng ine and avoid sudd en acceleration.

This applies only to the exceptional circumstances mentioned above.

130

Manoeuvring the vehicle To manoeuvre the vehicle back and forth during attem pts to park or in garage entrances the creeping movement can be utilised by releasing the foot brake.

Never actuate a ccelerator and brake pedals simultaneously.

To prevent dam age, Ea sytronic disengages the "creep function" when the tem perature of the automatic clutch is high.

Fault If a fault occurs in Easytronic , control indica tor A illuminates. In the event of serious faults, an "F" also appears in the tra nsmission display.

It is possible to continue driving if only control indicator A illum inates. Manual mode can then no longer be selected.

If an "F" is also shown in the transmission display , it is not possible to continue driving.

Have the ca use of the fault rem edied. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. The system’s integrated self-diag nostics a llows faults to be q uick ly remedied.

Interruption of power supply The clutch is not disengaged if the vehicle battery is d ischarged and a gea r has been selected. The vehicle c annot m ove.

If the battery is fla t, sta rt the vehicle using jump leads – see pa ge 176.

– the accelerator is not operated.

135

Kickdown Accelerator pedal pressed past the pressure point: below certa in speeds, the transm ission shifts down into a lower gear. Full engine power is availab le for acceleration.

Engine braking In order to utilise the engine braking effect when driving downhill, select d rive range 3, 2 or, if necessary, 1 in good time.

The braking action is most effective in drive range 1. If drive range 1 is selected at too high a speed, the transm ission remains in second gear until the shift p oint for first gear is reached, e.g. as a result of deceleration.

Rocking the car If it becomes necessary to rock the vehicle to free it from sand, mud, snow or a hole, move the selector lever from D to R in a repeat pattern w hile sim ultaneously applying light pressure to the accelerator pedal. Do not race the engine and avoid sudden acceleration.

This applies only to the exceptional circum stances mentioned a bove.

Manoeuvring the vehicle To ma noeuvre the vehicle back and forth during attempts to park or in ga ra ge entrances, the vehicle’s creeping movement can be utilised by releasing the brake pedal.

Never actuate accelerator and brake pedals sim ultaneously.

136

Stopping the vehicle The selector lever can be left in the chosen gear with the engine running.

When stopping on gradients engage hand brake or depress brake ped al. To prevent overheating of the transmission, do not increase engine revolutions to ensure smooth id ling while standing if a gear has been selected.

Switch off eng ine if stop ping for a lengthy period, e.g. in traffic jams or at level crossings.

Before leav ing the vehicle, apply hand brake, then place selector lever in position P and remove ignition key.

If the ignition key is not rem oved, the battery may be d ischarged if the vehicle is then left to stand for a lengthy period of time.

The ignition key ca n only be removed when the selector lever is in position P.

Fault Control indica tor A illuminates after the ignition is switched on. If it does not go out after the start or illuminates while driving, there is a fa ult in the automatic tra nsmission or eng ine electronics.

The tra nsmission no longer shifts automatically. Continued driv ing is possible. Second gear is not available. Forward gears 1, 3 and 4 must be shifted ma nually using selector lever:

Have the cause of the fa ult remedied. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer.

138

Driving hints The first 600 m iles (1000 km) Drive your vehicle at various speed s. Do not use full throttle. Never allow the engine to labour at low revs.

Make good use of all gears. Depress the accelerator ped al a ma ximum of around three quarters of the available p edal travel in all gea rs.

Do not d rive faster than three quarters of maximum speed .

Do not b rake unnec essarily ha rd for the first 125 miles (200 km).

Never coast with engine not running Many units w ill not function in this situation (e.g. brake servo unit, power steering 3 ). Driv ing in this ma nner is a danger to yourself and others.

Brake servo unit When the engine is not running, the brake servo unit is no longer effective once the brake peda l has been depressed once or twice. Braking effect is not reduced , but significantly greater force is required for braking.

Electric power steering 3 If the power-assisted steering fails when being towed w ith the eng ine switched off – the vehicle can still be steered, but considera bly more forc e is req uired.

Driving in mountainous terrain or with a trailer/caravan The cooling fan is electrically operated. Its cooling power is therefore independent of the engine speed.

S ince a c onsiderab le am ount of heat is generated at high engine speeds and less at slower speeds, do not shift down when climb ing hills whilst the vehic le is still coping with the gradient in the hig her gear.

Diesel engines: On gradients of 10 % or more, do not drive faster than 20 mph (30 km /h) in first g ear or 30 mph (50 km/h) in second g ear.

Driving with a roof load Do not exceed the perm issible roof load – see page 240. For reasons of safety, distribute the loa d evenly a nd secure it properly with reta ining straps so that it cannot slip. Adjust ty re pressure to the load conditions. Do not d rive fa ster than 75 mph (120 km /h). Check and retighten the straps freq uently .

Switching off the engine When you switch off, fans in the eng ine compa rtm ent may continue running for a time to cool the engine.

If the engine temperature is very high, e.g. after driving in mountainous terrain: Allow the engine to id le for approx im ately two minutes in order to prevent heat acc um ulation.

139

Vehicles w ith turb ocharged engine After running at hig h engine speeds or high engine loa ds, operate the engine briefly at a low load or run in neutra l for approx. 30 second s before switc hing off in order to protect the turbocha rger.

Save energy – more mileage Please observe the running-in hints on the previous pag e and the tips for sav ing energy on the following pa ges.

Good, technica lly correct and economical driving ensures ma ximum durability and performance for your vehic le.

Overrun The fuel supply is autom atically shut off during overrun, e.g. when the vehicle is being driven down long gradients or when braking. To enable the overrun cut-off to take effect, do not acc elerate during overrun and, if in manual transm ission mode, do not de-clutch. To prevent dam age to the cata lytic converter, overrun cut-off is temp orarily deactivated when the catalytic converter temperature is high.

Vehicles w ith turb ocharged engine Flow -g enerated noises may be aud ible if the a ccelerator is released quickly on account of air flow in the turbocharger.

Engine speed Drive in a low engine speed range for each gear a s m uc h as possible.

Warming up Allow the engine to warm up while driving. Do not warm it up by letting it run at idling speed. Do not apply full throttle until the engine has reached op erating temperature.

After a cold start, the automatic tra nsmission 3 a nd Easytronic 3 do not shift into higher gears until higher engine speeds have been reached. This allow s the catalytic converter to quickly reac h the temperature required for optimum pollutant reduction.

Correct gear selection Do not race your engine whilst in neutral or with a low gea r selected. Driving too fast in indiv idua l gea rs as well as stop-a nd -g o tra ffic increases engine wear a nd fuel consumption.

Change down When decreasing speed, shift down into the next lowest gear. Do not slip the clutch with a high-revving engine. This is especially important when hill climb ing.

Clutch operation Always d epress the c lutch pedal hard to the floor to p revent shifting difficulties and transmission damage.

When driving do not use the pedal as a foot rest; this will cause substantial clutch wear.

Cooling fan The cooling fan is controlled v ia a therm oswitch and therefore only runs if nec essary .

PedalsDo not place any ob jects in the foot well which could slip under the ped als and inhibit the pedal travel.

To ensure the pedal travel is uninhibited, there must be no mats in the area of the pedals.

Battery care When driving slowly or when the vehicle is stationary , e.g. in slow urban traffic, stop-and-go traffic or traffic jams, turn off all unnecessary electrical load s w here possible (e.g. heated rear window, heated front seats, etc. ).

Declutch w hen sta rting in order to relieve the strain on the starter and the ba ttery.

Saving fuel,protecting the environment

Trend-setting technologyWhen developing and manufac turing your vehic le, Vauxhall used environment-friendly and in the m ain recyc la ble materials. The production methods used to make your vehicle are likewise env ironmenta lly -compatible.

Recycling of production wastes keeps the circulation of material closed. Reduction of energy a nd water requirements a lso help s to conserve natural resources.

A highly advanced design mea ns that your vehic le can be easily disassembled at the end of its working life, and the individual materials separated for subsequent re-use.

Materia ls such as asbestos and cadmium are not used . The refrigerant in the air conditioning system 3 is CFC-free.

New painting techniques employ wa ter as a solvent.

End-of-life vehicle recovery Information on end-of-life vehicle recovery centres and the recycling of end-of-life vehicles is availab le at ww w.vauxhall.co.uk

Energy and environment-conscious driving z High noise levels and exhaust em issions

are often a result of driving w ithout due attention to saving energy and protecting the environment.

z You should therefore drive with energy in mind – "more mileage with less fuel" .

Reduce the noise level and exhaust emissions b y adopting an environment-consc ious driving style. This is extremely worthwhile and im proves the quality of life.

Fuel consum ption d epend s to a great extent on your own personal d riv ing style. The following hints are intended to help you consume fuel at a rate that is as close as possible to the specified levels – see page 237.

Check your vehicle’s fuel consumption every time you refuel. This facilitates early detection of any irregula rities causing increased fuel consumption.

Warming up z Full throttle and w arming up at idle

speed increase w ear, fuel consumption, exhaust em ission, the am ount of pollutant in the exhaust and the am ount of noise.

z Drive off imm ediately after starting. Wa rm up the engine b y running it at moderate eng ine speeds.

Uniform speed z Hectic driving significantly increases fuel

consumption, the exhaust emissions, the proportion of pollutant in the exhaust gas and the noise level.

z Do not accelerate a nd brake unnecessarily . Drive at uniform speed, watching the road.

Avoid frequent starting off and stopping e.g . at traffic lights, in short distance tra ffic and in queues of traffic by m eans of clever planning . Select road s w ith good traffic flow .

Idling z The eng ine also consumes fuel when

idling .

z If you have to wait for more than one minute, it is worthwhile switching off the engine. Five m inutes of idling corresponds to ap prox imately one kilometre of driving.

141

Overrun z The fuel supply is automatically shut off

during overrun, e.g. when the vehicle is being driven down long gradients or when braking – see page 139.

z To enable the overrun cut-off to come into action and save fuel, do not accelerate or d eclutch during overrun.

Correct gear selection z High revs increase engine w ear and fuel

consumption.

z Do not race your engine. Avoid d riv ing at high engine speeds.

Making use of the tachom eter helps to save fuel. Drive in a low engine speed ra nge for each gear as much a s possible with uniform engine speeds. Drive as often as possible in top gear, select the next higher gear a s soon as possible, and only chang e down when the engine is no longer running perfectly smoothly .

High speed z The higher the speed , the higher the

consumption and the noise level. At top speed, you consume a great deal of fuel and produce excessive noise and exhaust em issions.

z Slightly relea sing the accelerator ped al results in distinct fuel savings with no major loss of speed.

Drive at no more tha n around three quarters of max imum speed and you will use up to 50 % less fuel, without losing a great deal of time.

Tyre pressure z Inadequate ty re p ressure, leading to

higher road resistance, costs m oney in two wa ys: For m ore fuel and increased tyre wear.

z Regular checks (every 14 d ays) pay off.

Electrical loadsz The power consum ption of electrical

equip ment increa ses fuel consumption.

z Sw itch off all aux iliary electrical loads (e.g. air c onditioning 3, heated rear window) when not needed.

Roof racks, ski-holders z Due to air resistance, a roof load can

increase fuel consump tion by approx. 3.5 gal/1000 m iles (1 l/100 km ).

z Remove them if they are not being used.

Repair and maintenance z Improper repairs or adjustm ent and

maintenance work can increase fuel consumption. Do not carry out w ork on the eng ine yourself.

You may out of ignorance infringe environmental law s b y not disposing of materials properly.

Appropriate parts might not b e recycled.

Contact with some of the materia ls involved may p ose a hea lth haz ard.

z We recom mend that repair and maintenance be entrusted to your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Extreme driving conditionsz Going up steep slopes, cornering, driving

on poor road s a nd winter driving a ll increase fuel consumption.

Fuel consumption increa ses dramatically in urba n tra ffic a nd at winter temperatures, especially on short trip s when the engine operating tempera ture is not reached.

z Follow the hints given above to keep consumption to a m inimum under suc h cond itions.

142

Fuel consumption,fuel, refuelling

Fuel consumption Fuel consumption is determined under specific driving conditions – see page 237.

Special equipm ent increases the weight of the vehicle. As a result, they c an inc rease fuel consumption and reduce the specified maximum speed .

There is increa sed friction b etween eng ine and transmission p arts during the first 600 miles (1000 kilometres). This increases fuel consumption.

Fuel for petrol engines Com mercially availab le high-quality fuels are suitable (catalytic converter – see page 145, oc ta ne numbers – see pag es 234, 235). Fuel quality has a d ecisive influence on the power output, running behaviour and service life of the engine. The ad ditives conta ined in the fuel play an important role in this reg ard. You should therefore only use high-quality fuels containing additives.

Fuel with too low an octane number can cause pink ing. Va uxhall cannot be held liable for resulting damage.

Petrol with a hig her octane number can always be used .

Pump nozzles for leaded fuel ca nnot be inserted into the filler nec k of vehicles tha t operate on unlead ed fuel.

The ignition timing ad justs autom atic ally to the grade of fuel used (octane number) – see pages 234, 235.

Use of petrol with an octane rating of 95 will ensure economical driv ing.

143

Fuel for diesel engines Diesel engines must be operated only on commercially ava ila ble diesel fuel meeting the specific ations of DIN EN 590. Do not use ma rine diesel oils, heating oils or entirely or partially plant-b ased diesel fuels, such as rape seed oil or b io diesel, Aquazole and sim ilar diesel-w ater emulsions.

The flow a nd filterability of diesel fuel are tem perature-d epend ent.

Diesel fuels with improved low-tem perature properties are therefore ava ilab le on the market during the winter months. Make sure that you fill the tank with winter fuel before the start of the cold weather season.

Additives can be used with d iesel fuels with winter p roperties that are guaranteed by the m anufacturer and when using diesel fuel filters that are heated depending on the outside temperature.

Fuel f iller cap If replacing the fuel filler c ap, be sure to use a genuine Vauxhall fuel filler cap for your model to ensure full functionality . Diesel-engined vehicles have special fuel filler caps.

Refuelling

6

Care must b e taken when handling fuel.

Before refuelling, switch off the eng ine and any external heaters with combustion chamb ers (identified b y a sticker on the tank fla p). Switch off mobile phones.

144

Fuel filler neck at right rear side of vehicle.

On Corsas equipped with a central locking system 3, the tank flap is unlocked tog ether with the doors – see page 54.

Open the tank flap . To prevent dam age, the right-hand sliding door cannot be fully op ened if the tank flap is op en.

To unloc k the fuel filler cap, unlock with the ignition key 3 , unscrew and susp end from tank flap.

The fuel tank has a limiting system which prevents overfilling of the tank.

Correct filling depends to a large extent on proper operation of the fuel disp ensing pump:

1. Fully insert the pump nozz le 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 d oses of fuel. Make sure the noz zle is fully inserted.

To c lose, place fuel filler cap in position and turn, overcom ing the resistance until the ratchet on the cap engages audibly. Lock the fuel filler cap with the ignition key 3.

C lose fuel tank cover.

Wipe off a ny overflowing fuel immediately .

Fuel is flamm able and explosive. Therefore, avoid naked flames and sparks when ha nd ling or in the vicinity of fuel. Do not smoke! This also applies in places where fuel c an only be detected by its characteristic smell. If you can smell fuel in the vehicle, have the c ause thereof rem edied imm ediately. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Rep airer.

Catalytic converter, exhaust gases

Catalytic converter for petrol enginesLeaded fuel will da mage the cata lytic converter and parts of the electronic system, rend ering them inoperative.

Use of high-qua lity fuels other than those specified on p age 142 (e.g. LR P1)) could damage the catalytic converter.

On vehicles with a c atalytic converter, the fuel ta nk filler nec k is of a narrow design so that a dispensing pump for leaded fuel cannot b e inserted .

Dama ge to the catalytic converter or the vehicle m ay result if the following points are not observed :

z Consult a workshop, such as your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, as quic kly 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 system. If necessary, d riv ing may be continued for a short time at a low speed and with a low engine speed.

Irregular engine running a nd a loss of engine power when the Traction Control system 3 or the Electronic Stability Program 3 com e into action are determined b y the op erating conditions and are therefore of no significance – see pages 150, 151.

Controlling exhaust emission Through design-related measures – mainly in the area of the fuel-injection and ignition systems – the proportion of noxious materials in the exhaust, such as carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC) and nitrog en oxides (NOx ), is reduced to a minimum.

Control ind icator Z for exhaust Illum inates when the ignition is switched on and during the start attem pt. Goes off shortly after the eng ine sta rts running.

If it illum ina tes while the engine running there is a fa ult in the em ission control system. The permitted emission values may be exceed ed. Consult a workshop immed iately. We recommend your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Flashing with the engine running indica tes a fa ult that m ay da mage the cata lytic converter. You can continue to drive without causing dam age by slowing down until the flashing stops and the control indicator is steady. Consult a workshop imm ediately. We recomm end your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

148

Control indica tor A for engine electronics Illuminates for a few seconds when ig nition is sw itched on.

If the light comes on when the engine is running, there is a fa ult in the engine or transm ission elec tronics. The elec tronics switch to the emergency running programme, fuel consumption may increase and the driveability of the vehicle may be affected. In some cases the fault can be elim inated by sw itc hing the engine off and back on again. I f the control indicator illumina tes again when the engine is running, consult a workshop to have the cause of the fault elim inated. We recom mend your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

If it illum ina tes briefly , but does not recur, it is of no significa nce.

If it flashes after the ignition is switched on, there is a fa ult in the immobiliser system. The engine cannot be started. See page 51.

Exhaust gases

During the first drive sm oke m ay develop because of wax and oil evaporating on the exhaust system . Park the vehicle in the open for a while a fter the first drive and avoid inhaling the fum es.

Engine exha ust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide, which is colourless and odourless a nd could be fa tal if inhaled.

If exhaust fumes p enetrate the vehicle interior, open the w indows and consult a workshop im mediately. We rec om mend your Vauxha ll Authorised Repairer.

Drive control systems Traction Control system (TCPlus) 3 The TCPlus prevents the driving wheels from spinning, irrespective of the road conditions and tyre 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. This improves the vehicle’s directional control and d riv ing power, particularly on snow and ic e as well as on wet or slippery road s.

TCPlus is ready for operation as soon a s the ignition is switc hed on and the control indica tor v goes out.

When the TCPlus c om es into action, v flashes.

The vehic le is now in a critical situation; TCPlus a llows you to keep control of the vehicle and remind s you to match your speed to the road c onditions.

Control indic ator v Illuminates for a few seconds when the ignition is switched on. The system is now ready for operation.

Flashing during driving This shows the system has com e into action. The engine output may be reduced (the sound of the eng ine changes) and the vehicle m ay be braked a utoma tica lly to a small degree. Do not let this special safety fea ture

tempt you into ta king risks when d riv ing.

Traffic safety c an only be achieved by adopting a responsible driving style.

151

Illuminates while driving Fault in the system: Driv ing can continue. Spinning drive wheels can cause driv ing stability to worsen unless driving sty le is adap ted, depending on acceleration and road surfa ce.

Have the cause of the fault remed ied. We recom mend tha t you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. The system ’s integrated self-diagnostics allows faults to be quickly remedied.

Electric Stability Program (E SPPlus) 3 Whenever necessary, EPSPlus improves driving sta bility in any d riv ing situation regardless of roa d conditions and tyre grip. It also prevents the drive wheels from spinning regardless of road cond itions and tyre g rip .

The system m onitors vehicle movements. As soon as the vehicle starts to swerve (understeers/oversteers) engine output is reduced (the sound of the engine cha ng es) and individual wheels are specifically braked . This considerab ly improves the driving stability of the vehicle on snow and ice and on wet or slippery road surfa ces.

ESPPlus is read y for op eration as soon as the ignition is switc hed on and c ontrol indica tor v goes out.

When the ESPPlus comes into action, v flashes.

The vehicle is now in a critical situa tion; ESPPlus a llows you to keep control of the vehicle a nd reminds you to m atch your speed to the road conditions.

Illuminates after interruption of power supplye.g. after disconnecting battery .

After a power supply interrup tion the steering angle sensor must be calibrated to ma ke the system operational:

z Automatic calibration driving in stright line at constant slow 15 to 25 mph (20 to 40 km /h) speed on level, dry road.

z Manual calibration by turning steering wheel from limit position to limit position.

If the indicator light does not go off after successful calibration, observe notes in midd le column.

153

Cruise control 3 Cruise control can store and maintain speeds from approx. 20 to 125 mph (30 to 200 km /h).

For safety reasons the cruise control cannot be activated until the foot brake has been operated once.

The c ruise c ontrol is operated with the buttons I , R and O on the turn signal lever.

Do not use the c ruise control if it is not adv isable to maintain a c onstant sp eed (e.g. in situations presenting a danger to yourself and other road users, in heavy traffic or on winding , slippery or greasy roads).

With autom atic transmission, it is a dvisa ble to switch on the cruise control only when drive range D is engaged.

When the cruise control is active, reaction times may be increased due to the different position of the feet.

To activate Ta p button I: The current speed is stored and maintained. The acc elera tor p edal can be released.

Vehicle speed ca n be increased by depressing the a ccelerator peda l. When the accelerator pedal is released, the previously stored speed is resumed.

Inc rea se With cruise control a ctive, hold down button I or tap it repeated ly: The speed is increa sed continuously or in steps of 1.2 mph (2 km /h) without using the acc elerator pedal.

The current speed is stored and sa ved after the I button has been released.

Disreg ard of these instructions may lead to injuries or end ang er life.

154

Decelera te With cruise control active, hold down button R or tap it repeatedly: The sp eed is red uced continuously or in steps.

The current speed is stored and saved after the R button has been released .

To dea ctivate Ta p button O: The cruise control is switched off. The vehicle slowly decelerates. To continue driving, depress the accelerator pedal in the usual way.

For reasons of safety, c ruise control deactivates under certain driving conditions.

For example:

z the vehicle’s speed drops belowapprox . 20 mph (30 km/h) or

z the brake peda l is depressed or

z the clutch p edal is depressed or

z the selector lever of vehicles with automatic transmission is set to N.

Resuming the stored speed Tap button R at a speed a bove 20 mph (30 km/h): The speed selected before the cruise control w as switched off is resumed.

The stored speed is cleared once the ignition ha s b een switched off.

155

Parking Distance Sensor 3 Parkpilot makes reverse pa rking easier by measuring the distance between the rear of the vehicle and an obstacle through ultrasonic reflection and warning you with an acoustic sig nal in the passenger compartment.

The system record s the distance using four sensors in the rear bumper.

To act ivateWhen the ig nition is on, the Parking Dista nce Sensor switches on automatically when reverse gea r is engaged. Its opera tional readiness is indicated by a brief acoustic signal.

If the vehicle slowly gets close to an obstacle w hile reversing, an intermittent acoustic signal is audible in the passenger compartment when the vehicle tail is less than one m etre from the obstacle. The interval between the signals becomes shorter as the distance is reduced. If the distance is less than 30 c m, a continuous signa l is aud ible.

To dea ctivateThe system d eactiva tes autom atically when reverse g ear is disengaged.

Fitting rear load racks 3 Rear load racks, e. g. bicycle ra cks, fitted nea r the sensors could disrupt the system .

Fault In the event of a system fault, a continuous acoustic signal is sounded at a dista nce of one metre from the obstacle. Have the cause of the fault remedied . We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer.

In order to avoid operationa l problems or erroneous information, the sensors m ust be undamag ed a nd free of soiling, snow and ice.

Under certain circumstances, various reflective surfaces on objects or clothing as well as external noise sources may cause the system to fail to d etec t obstacles in the rear. For this reason, care must be taken when reversing even if the Pa rk ing Distance Sensor is opera tional. This is of particular importance when in the vicinity of pedestrians.

156

Brakes Brake system The brakes are a n important factor for tra ffic safety .

To improve effectiveness, do not brake unnec essarily hard for the first 200 km a fter new brake pa ds ha ve been fitted.

Brake pad wear must not exceed a specified lim it. Reg ular maintenance as detailed in the Service Booklet is therefore of the utmost im porta nce for traffic sa fety.

Have w orn b ra ke p ads replaced. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer, who will fit pa ds that have been tested and a pproved by Vauxhall and guarantee optim um braking power.

Brake pad s w orn to their minimum thickness generate a grinding noise. Continued driving p ossible. Have the brake pad s replaced as soon as possib le by a workshop. We recommend your Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer.

157

Brake assist When the brake peda l is q uick ly and forcefully depressed, the vehicle is automatically braked with ma ximum b ra ke force a mplification in order to obtain the shortest possib le brak ing distance during full-on bra king (brake assist).

Maintain steady pressure on the brake pedal for as long as full-on brak ing is to continue. When the brake ped al is released, the maximum brake force amp lification is taken away.

Foot b rake The foot brake comp rises two independent brake circuits.

If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can still be braked using the other brake circuit. If this oc curs, however, the brake pedal m ust be depressed quite far using considerable force before braking effect occurs. The distance required for braking will b e greater. Consult a workshop before continuing your journey. We recomm end your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

To ensure the full pedal travel can be utilized, esp ecially in c ase of a fault in one of the brake circuits, there must be no mats in the vicinity of the peda ls – see p age 138.

When the engine is not running, the support of the brake servo unit disap pears once the brake pedal has been depressed once or twice. Braking effect is not reduc ed, but braking requires signific antly greater force. This is especially im portant to bear in mind w hen towing .

Check the brake lights before starting out on a journey.

Shortly a fter sta rting each journey the effectiveness of the brake system should be tested at low speed a nd without inconveniencing other traffic, especially if the brakes are wet, e.g. a fter the vehicle has been washed.

The brake fluid level should be checked regula rly . If the brake fluid level is too low and the ha nd brake is not applied, control indicator R on the instrum ent panel illuminates – see p age 32.

158

Hand brake Always apply hand brake firm ly. On slopes apply the hand brake as firmly as possible.

The m echanical hand b ra ke a cts on the brakes on the rea r wheels. It engag es automatically when applied.

To relea se the ha nd b ra ke pull the lever up slig htly , press the ratchet knob, a nd fully lower the lever.

Brake system c ontrol indic ator RThe control indica tor illuminates w hen the ignition is switc hed on if the ha nd brake is applied or if the brake or clutc h fluid level is too low. Brake fluid – see page 222.

ABS u The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) continuously monitors the vehicle’s brake system and prevents the wheels from locking regardless of the road condition and tyre grip.

It starts to regulate the braking pressure as soon a s a wheel shows a tendency to lock. The vehicle rema ins steerable, even in the event of very heavy braking, for insta nce on bends or when swerving to a void an obstacle. Even in the c ase of full-on brak ing, the ABS makes it possible to drive round an obstacle w ithout releasing the brakes.

ABS control is mad e ap parent thoug h a pulse in the brake pedal and the noise of the regulation process.

If the control indicator illuminates when the hand brake is not ap plied: Stop. Interrupt your journey immediately. Consult a workshop. We recommend your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

159

Control ind icator u for ABSThe control indicator illuminates for several second s w hen the ignition is switched on and the system undergoes a self-c heck at the same time (m ay be audible). The system is ready for operation when the control indicator goes out.

If the control indicator does not go out after a few sec onds, or if it illuminates while driving, there is a fault in the ABS. The brake system rem ains operational without AB S reg ulation.

You can continue driving, provided you drive with care and anticipation.

Have the cause of the fa ult remedied. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer. The system’s integrated self-diagnostics allows faults to be quickly remedied .

For optimum b ra king, keep the brake pedal fully depressed throughout the braking process, despite the fac t tha t the p edal is pulsating. Do not reduce the pressure on the pedal.

Do not let this special safety feature tempt you into taking risk s when driving.

Traffic safety can only be achieved by adopting a responsib le driving style.

If there is a fault in ABS, the wheels m ay be sub ject to locking due to braking tha t is heavier than normal. The a dvantages of AB S are no longer opera tional. The vehicle can no longer b e steered and may swerve.

Wheels, tyres Tyres See pag e 249 for suitable ty res and restrictions.

Tyres fitted in the factory are adapted to the chassis and provid e optimum driving comfort and sa fety.

Changing tyre/wheel typeBefore switching to different tyres or wheels, seek advice on the technical possibilities. We recommend that you consult your Va uxha ll Authorised Repairer, who will be able to advise you of any necessary mod ifications.

If tyres of a different size than those fitted at the factory are used, the electronic speedom eter may require reprogramming to ensure that the correct sp eed is displayed.

Fitting new tyr es Fit tyres in pa irs or in sets, which is even better. Ensure tha t tyres on one axle are z the same siz e z the same design z the same make z and have the same tread pattern.

Fit directional tyres such that they roll in the direction of travel. The rolling direction is indicated by a symbol (e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall.

Tyres fitted opposing the rolling direction (such as when changing a ty re) should b e refitted as soon as possible. This is the only way to benefit fully from the d esign properties of the tyre.

Use of unsuitab le tyres or wheels m ay lead to accidents and render the vehicle unroa dworthy .

We recommend that you have your ty res chang ed b y your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who will b e familiar w ith the requirem ents of the law a s regards disposal of tyres and can thus help to protect the environment and your health.

161

Some brands of tyres have a beaded edge for alloy wheels to protect against dam age. If wheel trim is used on steel wheels with bead ed-edge tyres, c om ply with the following:

z Use of wheel trims and tyres that are approved by Vauxhall and fulfil all requirements for the wheel and tyre com bination.

z If the wheel trims and tyres used are not Vauxhall-approved, the tyres m ust not have a bea ded edge.

Tyre pressure Check tyre pressures, inc luding the spare wheel, at least every 14 days and prior to any long journey; the tyres should be checked when cold. Don’t forget to check the spare.

Use the valve cap key to m ake unscrewing the valve ca ps easier. The key is located on the inside of the ta nk flap.

Tyre p ressure – see page 249 and the adhesive foil on the inside of the tank flap. Have adhesive foil replaced after changing to different tyre size.

Do not reduce ty re pressure when the tyres are wa rm. Otherwise the pressure may drop b elow the perm issible minimum when the tyres cool down.

After having chec ked the tyre pressure, tig hten the va lve ca ps using the valve cap key .

Incorrect inflation pressures will impair safety, vehicle handling, comfort and fuel econom y and w ill increase tyre wear.

Pressure that is too low can result in consid erable tyre warm-up and interna l dam age, lead ing to tread separation and even to ty re blow-out at high speeds.

Hidd en tyre dama ge is not elim inated by adjusting the tyre pressure.

Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel trims could lead to sudden loss of air and thereby accidents.

Incorrect tyre pressure could lead to a fla t tyre.

162

Tyre condition, wheel condition Drive over edges slowly and at a rig ht angle if p ossible. Driving over sha rp edges can lead to hidden tyre damage a nd wheel dam age which is only noticed later on.

When pa rk ing, ensure that the tyres a re not pressed against the ed ge of the kerb .

Check tyres regularly for dama ge (foreign bodies, punctures, cuts, cracks, bulg es in sidewalls). Chec k wheels for damage. In the event of dam age or abnorm al wear, consult a workshop. We recommend your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Tread d ep th Check tread depth regularly.

Should the front tyres show greater wear than the rear ty res, have b oth front wheels exchanged with the rear wheels so that the tyres with deeper tread a re on the front ax le.

Correct tyre pressure.

For reasons of safety , tyres should be replaced when their tread depth has worn down to 2 to 3 mm (winter tyres: 4 mm).

Dama ge m ay lead to ty re blow-out.

163

The legally permissible minimum tread depth (1.6 m m) has been reached when the tread has worn down as far as one of the w ear indicators (TWI 1)). A number of wear indicators a re spaced at equal intervals around the ty re within the tread. Their position is indicated by markings on the ty re sidewall.

General information

z The danger of aq uap laning is greater if the ty res are worn.

z Tyres age, even if they a re used only very little or not at all. A spare wheel which has not b een used for six years should be used only in emergencies; drive slowly when using suc h ty res.

z Never fit used tyres the prev ious history and use of w hich you do not know.

z So as not to im pair brake cooling , use only wheel trims app roved for use on your vehicle.

Winter tyres 3 For notes on fitting new tyres – see page 160.

See page 249 for restric tions.

Winter tyres (M+ S tyres) im prove safety at tem peratures below 7 °C and should therefore be fitted on all the wheels.

The d esign of summ er tyres mea ns they have limited qualities for winter driving.

If the maxim um perm issible speed for the winter ty res is less than that of the vehicle, a notice ind icating the ma ximum permissible speed for the tyres must be affixed within the driver’s field of v ision1).

Use of a spa re wheel fitted with a sum mer tyre may affect the vehicle’s driveability, especially on slippery road surfaces. Obtain a replacem ent for the faulty tyre as soon a s possib le, and have the wheel balanced and fitted to the vehicle.

Wheel trims 3 If the wheel trims and tyres used are not Vauxhall-approved , make sure that the tyres d o not have a bea ded edge. See page 161.

Tyre chains 3 See pag e 249 for restrictions.

Tyre chains are only p ermitted on the front wheels. They must be fitted to the tyres symmetrically in order to a chieve a concentric fit.

Alw ays use fine mesh chains that add no more than 15 m m to the ty re tread and the inboard sides (including chain lock).

We rec om mend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Wheel trim on steel wheels could come into contact with parts of the cha in and be dam aged . Remove the wheel trim – see pag e 185.

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.

Tempora ry spar e w heel 3 Tyre chains must not be used on the temporary spare wheel. If you need to use tyre chains after suffering a flat front tyre, fit the temporary spa re on the rear ax le and transfer one of the rea r wheels to the front axle.

Caravan and trailer loads1)

The permissible caravan/trailer loads are vehicle- and eng ine-dependent m aximum values which must not be exceed ed. 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. When the carava n/trailer load is being checked, therefore, only the caravan/trailer w heels – and not the jockey wheel – must be standing on the weighing apparatus.

The permissible caravan/trailer loads for your vehicle are given in the vehicle docum ents. Unless otherwise stated, they are valid for gradients up to ma x. 12 %.

The permissible c aravan/trailer load should be fully utilised only by drivers w ho a re adequately exp erienced in tow ing large or hea vy ca ravans/trailers.

The permitted c aravan/trailer load a pplies up to the sp ecified inc line and up to a n altitude of 1000 m etres ab ove sea level. S ince engine power decreases as altitud e increa ses b ecause of the air becoming thinner, therefore reducing climb ing ability, the permitted towing weight also decreases by 10 % for every 1000 metres of add itional altitude. The towing w eight does not have to be reduced when driv ing on roads with slight inclines (less tha n 8 %, e. g. motorways).

The actual caravan/trailer load p lus the actual g ross vehicle weight of the towing vehicle m ust not exceed the maxim um permitted towing weight. For example, if the permitted gross vehicle weight is utilised, the tra iler/ca ra van load must only be used until the m aximum permitted towing weight is reached . The maximum permitted towing weight is shown on the identification plate – see pa ge 232.

1) Obs erve national regulatio ns.

Coupling socket load The c oupling socket load is the load exerted by the trailer/caravan on the coupling ball. It can b e varied by changing the w eight distribution when loa ding the trailer/caravan.

The ma ximum permissible coup ling socket load (50 kg) is specified on the towing equipm ent identification plate and in the vehic le documents. Alw ays aim for the maximum load, especia lly in the ca se of heavy caravans/trailers. The c oupling soc ket load should never fall below 25 kg.

When m easuring the coupling socket load, make sure that the draw bar of the loaded tra iler/ca ra van is at the same heig ht a s it will be when the trailer/caravan is coupled with the towing vehicle loaded. Particularly important for trailers/caravans with tand em axle.

Rear axle load during towing CorsaWhen the caravan/tra iler is coupled a nd the tow ing vehicle fully loaded (including all occupa nts), the permissib le rear axle load (see identification plate or vehicle documents) ma y be exceeded by 45 kg and the permissib le gross vehicle weight by 15 kg. If the permissible rear a xle loa d is exceeded, a maxim um sp eed of 60 m ph (100 km /h) applies. If nationa l regulations spec ify a lower maxim um sp eed for vehicles tow ing a caravan/trailer, this m ust be observed.

Corsa van, Combo The permissib le ax le loads must not be exceeded.

172

Tyre pressure Increa se tyre pressure on the towing vehic le to the value spec ified for a full loa d (see pages 249, 250). Also check the infla tion pressure of the sp are wheel a nd the c aravan/trailer wheels.

Driving characteristics , towing tips For c aravans/trailers with b ra ke, attach the break-a way stop ping ca ble to the eye (see arrow in fig ure).

Before a tta ching the trailer/caravan, lubricate the ball of the trailer/caravan tow ing devic e. H ow ever, do not lubricate the ball if a stab iliser, which acts on the coupling b all, is being used to damp hunting.

Check caravan/trailer lighting before starting to drive. The fog tail lights on the vehicle are deactivated w hen towing a caravan or trailer.

Handling is greatly influenced by the loading of the trailer/c aravan. Loads should therefore b e sec ured so that they cannot slip and be placed in the centre of the tra iler/ca ra van if possible, i.e. ab ove the axle.

In the case of trailers with low driv ing stability, d o not exceed a speed of 50 mp h (80 km/h); the use of a friction-typ e stabiliser is hig hly recomm ended.

Do not drive faster than 50 m ph (80 km/h) if possible, even in countries where higher speeds are permitted.

173

Make sure that you have enough room when c ornering and avoid sudden manoeuvres.

If the tra iler/ca ra van starts to sway, drive more slowly, do not attem pt to correct the steering and brake sharply if necessary.

If full-on braking is required , depress the brake pedal as hard as possib le.

Remem ber that the braking distance for vehic les towing caravans/trailers w ith a nd without brake is a lways grea ter than that for vehicles not towing a caravan/trailer.

When driving downhill, towing a cara van/tra iler subjects the b rakes to a heavier load than normal. For this reason, select the sam e gea r as when driving uphill and drive at a similar speed. With automatic trans-mission, enga ge p osition 3, 2 or even 1.

Select D ag ain as soon as driving conditions perm it.

Easytronic 3 in automatic mode or autom atic transmission 3 in D will autom atic ally select the d riv ing prog ra mme with optimum eng ine braking effect.

The cooling fan is electrically operated. Its cooling power is therefore independent of the engine speed.

S ince a c onsiderab le am ount of heat is generated at high engine speeds and less at slower speeds, do not shift down when climb ing hills whilst the vehic le is still coping with the gradient in the hig her gear.

Diesel engine: On rising gradients of 10 % or more, do not drive faster than 20 mph (30 km/h) in 1st gea r or 30 mp h (50 km/h) in 2nd gear; with automatic transmission, do not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h) in position 1.

174

Starting on inclines For vehicles with m anual transmission, the most favourable engine speed when starting off on an incline is b etween 2500 and 3000 rpm for p etrol engines a nd between 2000 and 2500 rpm for diesel engines. Hold engine speed constant, enga ge c lutch grad ually (let slip), release hand brake and op en throttle. If p ossible, the engine speed should not drop during this procedure.

For vehicles with automatic transmission 3 or Easytronic 3 in automatic mode, apply full throttle.

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 such as hea ted rear window, a ir conditioning system 3 and heated front seats 3.

175

Self-help

Diesel fuel system, bleeding Never let the tank run dry ! If c ontrol indica tor Y illuminates, refuel as soon a s possible. Refuel immediately if it fla shes.

It is p ossib le to restart the engine if the ta nk ha s b een run dry . A delayed start is to be exp ected. Switch on the ignition three tim es for a pprox. 15 seconds. Then attempt to start the engine for a pprox. 40 seconds. If the engine does not start, wait a few minutes and try ag ain. If the engine d oes not start, consult a workshop. We recommend your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Do not start with quick charger This prevents d amage to electronic components.

Do not start by pushing or towing Because your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter, it must not be started by pushing or towing – see page 145.

Disregard of these notes can lead to injuries whic h may be fatal. Vehicle passengers should be informed accordingly.

176

Starting the engine with jump leads 3 A vehicle with a discharged battery can be started using jump lead s and the battery of another vehicle.

z Never expose the b attery to naked flames or sparks.

z A discharged battery can freeze at temperatures as low a s 0 °C. Always defrost a frozen battery in a warm space before connecting jump leads.

z Do not allow battery fluid to come into contact with eyes, skin, fa bric s or painted surfaces. The fluid contains sulp huric ac id which can cause injuries and d amage in the event of d irect contact.

z Wear eye protec tion and protective clothing when handling a b attery.

z Use auxiliary battery with sam e volta ge (12 volts). Its capacity (Ah) m ust not be considera bly less than that of the discharged ba ttery. Voltage and capacity information can be found on the batteries.

z Use jump leads with insulated terminals and a d ia meter of at least 16 mm 2 (25 mm 2 for diesel engines).

z Do not disconnect the discharged battery from the vehicle.

z Switch off all unnecessary electrical consumers.

z Do not lean over the ba ttery during jump starting.

z Do not allow the terminals of one lead to touch those of the other lead .

z Do not touch the vehicles while jump starting.

z Apply hand brake. Ma nual transmission or Easytronic in neutral, automatic tra nsmission 3 in P.

This must be done with extrem e ca re. Any dev iation from the following instruc tions c ould lea d to personal injury or damage resulting from battery explosion, as well as to damage to the elec trical systems in both vehicles.

177

Connect the lea ds in the order shown in the illustration:

1. Connect one end of the first jump lead to the positive terminal 1 of the battery prov iding the jump start (identified by "+" sign on battery case or terminal).

2. Connect the other end of this lea d to the positive terminal 2 of the discharged battery ("+" sign).

3. Connect the first end of the other jump lead to the negative terminal 3 of the battery prov iding the start ("–" sign).

4. Connect the other end of the second jump lead 4 to ground on the other vehicle, e.g. engine block or screw connection in the engine suspension.

z Do not connect leads to negative term inal of discharged battery!

z The connection p oint should be as far away from the discharged battery as possible.

z Route the lead s so that they cannot catch on rotating parts in the engine compa rtm ent.

z Start the engine of the vehicle prov iding the jump start.

z After 5 minutes, start the other engine. Start attempts should be made at intervals of 1 minute not last longer than 15 seconds.

z After starting, allow both eng ines to idle for approx. 3 m inutes with the leads connected.

z In order to a void excess voltage in the electric al system, b efore removing a lead, sw itc h on a n electrica l consumer (e.g. light, heated rear window) in the vehicle receiving the jump sta rt.

z Reverse above seq uence exac tly when removing leads.

Maintenance,inspection system

In order to guarantee econom ical and safe vehicle operation and to m ainta in the value of your vehicle, it is of vital importanc e that all maintenance work is carried out at the proper intervals as specified b y Vauxhall .

The oil change and service intervals are flexible, based on a number of different parameters and the conditions under whic h the vehic le is used. Various engine-specific data is continuously recorded and used to calculate the rem aining distance until the next serv ice is due.

The remaining distance c an be shown on the speedometer display when the ig nition is switched off and the total milea ge odometer is off: Press the reset button of the trip odometer for 2 second s. InsP and the remaining distance will be displayed.

If the rema ining d istance is less than 1000 miles (1500 km), InsP is displayed with a remaining distance of 600 m iles (1000 km) after the ignition is switched on and off. InsP is displayed for several seconds if the remaining distance is less tha n 300 miles (500 km ). Have the nec essary service work carried out within one week or 300 miles (500 km ). Entrust this work to a n Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer in order to avoid loss of warranty claims.

217

The serv ice interval display takes account of off-the-road periods during which the battery is disconnected.

Further information on maintenance and the inspec tion system 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 recom mend your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who is familiar with Vauxhall vehicles and in possession of the nec essary sp ecial tools and the latest service instructions from Vauxhall. In order to avoid invalida tion of any w arranty claim, it is especially important to entrust work to a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer during the warranty period. For further information, see the Service Booklet.

Separ ate anti-cor rosion service Have this service performed once a year, either as part of an Annua l Inspection or separately – see Serv ice Booklet. To avoid invalidation of any warranty claim against rust-throug h, we recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

A note on safety Alw ays switch ignition off w hen perform ing checks in the engine c om partment (e.g. checking the brake fluid level or the engine oil level) due to risk of injury from live cables and rotating pa rts.

Never carry out any repairs or adjustment and m aintenance work on the vehicle yourself. This especially applies to the eng ine, chassis and safety parts. You may unwittingly infringe the p rov isions of the law and, by not performing the work properly , endanger yourself and other road users.

Checking and topping up fluids To aid identification, the cap s used when topping up engine oil, coolant and wash fluid as w ell as the oil d ip stick are coloured yellow.

The cooling fan is controlled by a thermoswitch and ca n therefore start unexp ectedly even if the ignition is switched off. Risk of injury.

Electronic ignition systems generate very high voltages. Do not touch the ignition system; hig h voltage can be fatal.

218

Engine oil Information on engine oils is found in the Service Booklet.

Eng ine oi l level and consum ption All engines c onsume oil for technica l rea sons. The engine oil consump tion ca n only be assessed after d riv ing a long distance, and may be above the specified value during the initial stage (run-in period). Frequent driving a t hig h revs causes oil consumption to increa se.

In vehicles with engine oil level chec k 3, the engine oil level is checked automa tic ally – see page 32. It is particularly adv isable to check the engine oil level before embarking on a long journey.

Engine oil level chec k,topping up engine oilThe illustrations show chec king and top ping up of various petrol and diesel engines.

The oil level m ust be checked with the vehicle horizontal and with the engine (w hich m ust be at operating temp erature) switched off. Wait at least five minutes before checking the level to allow the normal oil accumulation in the engine to drain back into the oil pan.

To check oil level, wipe off the dipstic k and insert it up to the stop mark on the handle. Top up oil if the level ha s fallen to the MIN ma rk .

The oil level must not go above the upper ma rk MAX on the dipstick. Excess oil must be dra ined or extracted by suction. If the oil level does go above the mark MAX there is a risk of damage to the engine or ca ta lytic converter.

The amount filled must be between the MIN and MA X marks – see pag e 254.

Im porta nt : I t is the owner’s responsibility to maintain the correct level of a n appropriate quality oil in the engine.

219

When topping up, use the same brand of oil that was used d uring the previous oil change. Ob serve the inform ation in the Service Booklet.

Ca pacities – see p age 254.

Oil c hange, oil fil ter change Change the oil at the disp la yed service intervals.

We rec om mend that you use genuine Vauxhall oil filters.

Used oil filters and empty oil containers should not be disp osed of as domestic refuse. We recomm end that you entrust oil and oil filter changes to a Va uxha ll Authorised Repa irer, who is familiar with legal requirem ents reg arding disposa l of used oil and can thus help to p rotect both the env ironment and your hea lth.

220

Diesel fuel f ilter Check the fuel filter for any water residue during ea ch engine oil cha nge. We recom mend tha t you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Have filter checked at shorter intervals in the c ase of extreme opera ting conditions suc h a s high humidity (prima rily in coastal areas), extremely high or low outside tem peratures and substantially varying daytim e a nd nig ht-time tem peratures.

Coolant During operation the system is pressurised. The temp erature ma y therefore rise briefly to over 100 °C.

The glycol-ba sed coolant provides exc ellent corrosion protection for the heating and cooling systems as well as anti-freeze protection down to ap prox . –28 °C. I t rema ins in the cooling system throughout the year and need not b e cha ng ed.

Use of certain a ntifreezes c an lead to engine dam age. We therefore rec om mend that you use antifreez es that have been approved by Vauxhall.

Anti freeze a nd corrosion protect ionBefore the sta rt of the cold weather season, have the coolant checked for correct concentration using a calibrated hydrometer. We recom mend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer. The anti-freeze content must guarantee frost protection down to approx. –28 °C. An insufficient concentration will reduce frost and corrosion protection. Add anti-freez e if nec essary .

If c oolant loss is topped up with wa ter, have concentration checked a nd add antifreeze if necessary.

Antifreeze is a d ang er to health; it must therefore be kept in the original container and out of the reach of children.

221

Coola nt level Hardly any losses occur since the cooling system is sealed and it is thus rarely necessary to top up the c oolant.

The c oolant in the compensation tank should b e slightly above the mark KALT/COLD with the cooling system cold. It rises when the engine is w arm a nd falls ag ain as it cools. If it drops below the marking in this case, it should be topped up to a level just above the marking.

Top up antifreez e. I f no antifreeze is available, top up w ith c lean tap water. If tap water is unavailable, distilled water can be used.

After topping up w ith tap or distilled water, ha ve the antifreez e concentration checked, a nd antifreeze added if necessary. H ave the cause of the coolant loss remedied. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Rep airer.

When closing, tighten coola nt filler cap as fa r as it will go.

Coolant temp era ture For physical reasons, the engine temperature gauge shows the coolant temperature only if the coolant level is adequate.

During operation the system is pressurised. The tem perature may therefore rise to over 100 °C.

If the temp erature g auge enters the red zone, check the coolant level immediately. z Coolant level low:

Top up coolant. Pay attention to the instructions given under "Antifreeze and corrosion protection" and "Coolant level". Have the cause of coolant loss remedied . We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

z Coolant level OK:Have the c ause of inc reased coolant temperature remed ied. Consult a workshop. We rec om mend your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Allow engine to cool d ow n before removing coola nt filler ca p. Remove filler cap carefully so that p ressure can escape slowly, otherwise there is a risk of scalding.

222

Brake fluid Brake fluid is hygroscopic, i.e. it absorbs water. If the brakes b ecome hot, suc h as when d riv ing on long downhill stretches, vap our bubb les can occur in the w ater, which can have an extrem ely adverse effect on braking power (depending on the proportion of w ater).

The fluid change intervals specified in the Service Booklet m ust therefore be observed.

Windscreen wiper Clea r vision is essential for safe driv ing.

The cleaning effect of the windscreen wiper and the windscreen washing system 3 should therefore be checked at regular intervals. We recommend repla cing the wiper b la des at least once a yea r.

If the windscreen is dirty, operate the wind screen wash system before switching on the windscreen wiper or setting the wiper to automatic operation with the rain sensor 3. This will avoid w iper blad e wear.

Do not switch on the wind screen wiper or set them to automa tic operation with the ra in sensor 3 if the windscreen is iced up as this could dama ge the wiper b la des or the wiper system .

If the w ip er become frozen on to the glass, we rec om mend that they be released with the aid of Vauxhall De-icer Spray .

Smearing wiper blades c an be cleaned with a soft cloth and Vauxhall Wind screen Wash Solvent.

Wiper blades whose lips have become hardened, cracked or covered with silicone must be replac ed. This may be necessary as a result of the effects of ic e, thawing salt or hea t, or the incorrect use of cleaning agents.

Switc h off w indscreen wiper or autom atic wiper system w ith rain sensor 3 in ca r washes – see pages 17, 228.

Windscreen wiper blade maintenance – see pag e 230.

We recom mend that you ha ve brake fluid changed by a Va uxha ll Authorised Repairer, who will be familiar with the requirements of the law as regards disposal of brake fluid and can thus help to protect the environment and your health.

223

To ensure proper operation of the ra in sensor 3, the sensor a rea must be free from dust, dirt and ice. The windscreen w ash system m ust also be operated at regular intervals and the sensor a rea m ust be de-iced. Vehicles with rain sensor 3 ca n be identified by the sensor area near the top of the w indscreen.

Wiper blad es on the wind sc reen Lift wiper arm. Move relea se lever and detach w ip er blad e.

Wiper blade on the rear wind ow 3 Lift wiper arm. Disengage wiper blade as show n in illustration a nd remove.

224

Windscreen and headlight wash systems 3 Reservoir for wind screen wash and rear windscreen wash at driver’s side in engine compartment.

In vehicles with head lig ht washing system 3, the filler opening is in the engine compartment behind the right-hand head lig ht – see Fig. 14246 S.

Fill only with clean w ater to prevent the nozzles from clogging. To improve cleaning efficiency, we recommend that you add a little Vauxhall Wind screen Wash Solvent.

The windscreen wash system and headlight wash system w ill not freeze in winter:

Vehicle care Obtain adv ice from a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer regarding cleaning materials tha t ha ve b een tested a nd recomm ended by Vauxhall.

When caring for your vehicle, observe all na tional environm ental reg ulations, particula rly when wa shing it.

Regular, thorough care helps to improve the appearance of your vehicle and maintain its value over the years. It is a lso prereq uisite for w arra nty claims for any paint or corrosion damag e. The following pages contain tips for vehicle care which, if used properly , will help combat the unavoida ble d amaging effects of the environment.

Vehicle care aids 3 Vehicle wash: z Wa sh brush z Shampoo z Sponge z Insect Removal Sponge z Chamois

Vehicle care: z Paintwork Clea ner z Paintwork Polish z Metallic Paintwork Wax z Hard wa x z Vauxhall Touch-Up Paint z Vauxhall Touch-Up/Aerosol Paint z Wheel Preserver z Insect Remover z Window Cleaner z Vauxhall Windscreen Wa sh Solvent z Silicone Oil for Rubber Sea ls z Cleaner

228

Washing The paintwork of your vehicle is exposed to env ironmenta l influences, e.g. continuous changes in weather conditions, ind ustrial waste gases and dust or tha wing sa lts, so wash and wax your vehicle regularly. When using a utoma tic car washes, select a programme which includes wax ing.

Bird droppings, dead insects, resin, pollen and the like should be cleaned off immediately , as they contain aggressive constituents which can cause paint dam age.

When using c ar washes, follow the relevant instructions of the car wash facility. The windscreen wiper or a utomatic wiper system w ith rain sensor 3 and the rea r window wiper 3 m ust be switched off – see page 18. Rem ove the aerial 3 and the roof rack 3.

If you w ash your vehicle by hand, make sure that the insides of the wing s a re also thoroughly rinsed out.

Clea n edges and folds on op ened doors and flaps as well a s the area s they cover.

Thoroughly rinse off and leather-off the vehicle. Rinse leather frequently . Use separate leathers for paint and w indow surfaces: remnants of wax on the wind ow s will impair vision.

Observe national regulations.

Waxing Wax your vehicle regularly, in pa rticular after it has been washed using shampoo and at the latest when wa ter no longer forms beads on the pa intwork, otherwise the paintwork will d ry out.

Also wax edg es a nd folds on op ened doors and flaps as well a s the area s they cover.

Polishing Polishing is necessary only if the pa int has become dull or if solid deposits have become attached to it.

Paintwork polish with silicone forms a protec tive film, making w axing unnecessary.

Plastic body parts should not be treated with wax and polish.

Use Metallic Paintwork Wax on vehicles with a metallic-effect paint finish.

Wheels Use a pH-neutral w heel c leaning agent to clean the wheels.

Wheels a re painted and ca n be treated with the same ag ents as the body. For alloy wheels we recomm end use of Alloy Wheel Preserver.

229

Paintwork damage Repair small area s of p aint damage suc h as stone impacts, scratches etc. immediately using a Va uxha ll touch-up applicator or Vauxhall sp ra y and touch-up paint before rust can form . If rust has alrea dy formed, ha ve the c ause remedied. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. Please also pay attention to surfaces and edg es beneath the vehicle where which rust ma y have form ed unnoticed for some time.

Exterior lights Headlight and other protective lig ht bezels are made of plastic. If they require additional cleaning after the vehicle has been washed, clea n them with Car Shamp oo. Do not use any ab ra sive or caustic agents, do not use an ice scraper, and do not clean them dry.

Plastic and rubber parts If the carw ash does not c lean plastic and rubb er parts adequately , use cleaner suitable for vehicle interiors. Do not use a ny other agent, and in particular do not use solvents or petrol.

Do not use high-pressure jet clea ners on wheels and tyres.

Wheels and tyres Do not use high-pressure jet clea ners on wheels and tyres.

Interior and upholstery Clean the vehicle interior, including the instrument panel fascia, using interior cleaner.

C lean fabric upholstery w ith a vacuum cleaner and brush. To remove stains, use cleaner tha t is suitable for both fabrics and vinyl.

Do not use cleaning agents suc h as acetone, c arbon tetrachlorid e, paint thinner, paint remover, nail varnish remover, washing pow der or b leach to clean fabrics, carpets, the dashboard or leather trim 3 in the vehicle interior. Petrol is also unsuitable.

Seat belts Always keep seat b elts clean a nd dry.

C lean only with lukewarm w ater or Cleaner.

230

Windows When cleaning the heated rea r window 3, make sure tha t the heating element on the inside of the wind ow is not d amaged.

Use a soft lint-free cloth or chamois leather in conjunction with Wind ow Cleaner and Insect Remover.

Vauxhall Windscreen Wash Solvent is suitab le for de-icing windows.

For mechanical removal of ice, use a commercially a vailable sharp-edged ice scraper. Press the sc ra per firmly against the g lass so that no dirt can get und er it and scratch the glass.

Windscreen wiper blades Wax, such as that used in car washes, can cause streaks to form on the w indscreen when the w iper are used.

Smearing wiper blades can be c leaned with a soft c loth and Vauxhall Windscreen Wash Solvent, and replaced if necessary – see p age 222.

Locks The locks are lubricated with a hig h-grad e lock cylinder grease at the fac tory . Vauxhall lock cylinder grease prevents the locks from freezing up. Only use de-ic ing agent in emerg encies, a s they have a degreasing effect a nd will impair the function of the locks. After using a de-icing agent, have the locks re-greased. We recommend that you entrust this to your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Engine compartment Clean painted surfaces in the engine compa rtm ent like any other painted surfac e.

For best results, wash and wax the engine compa rtm ent before and after winter. Before washing the engine, cover the alternator and brake fluid reservoir with plastic sheeting.

When washing the engine with a steam-jet cleaner, do not direct the steam jet at c om ponents of the Anti-lock Brake System 3 , the a utoma tic air conditioning system 3 or the belt drive and its components.

Protective wax that has been applied is also rem oved during the engine wash. For this reason, have the engine, brake system components in the engine c om partment, ax le components with steering , body parts and c avities thoroughly preserved with protec tive w ax after the wash. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer.

An eng ine wash can be performed in the spring in order to remove dirt that has adhered to the engine compartment, which ma y also have a high salt content. Check protective wax layer and make good if nec essary .

Do not use high-pressure jet c leaners on wheels and tyres.

231

Underbody Your vehicle has a fa ctory-applied PVC undercoating in the wheel arches (includ ing the longitudinal members) w hich provides permanent protection and needs no special m aintenance. The surfaces of the vehicle underbody not covered b y PVC are provided with a durable protective w ax coating in critical areas.

On vehicles which are washed frequently in automatic car washes with underbody washing facility , the protective wax coating may be imp aired by dirt-dissolving additives, so check the underbody after washing and have it waxed if necessary. Before the start of the cold weather season, check the PVC coating and protective wax coating and, if necessary, have them restored to perfec t cond ition.

Ca ution – com mercially available bitumen/rubber materials can d amage the PVC coating. We recomm end that you have underbody work carried out by a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who knows the prescribed materials a nd has experience in the use thereof.

The underbody should be washed follow ing the end of the cold w eather season to remove any dirt adhering to the underbody since this may also contain salt. Check protective w ax coating a nd, if necessary, have it restored to p erfect condition.

Folding roof 3 The operation, ap pearance and service life of the folding roof mainly depend on correct opera tion and cleaning.

Brush clea n in front to rear direction using soft brush (dry).

Rinse with clean w ater.

In case of heavy soiling: Brush roof in one direction with car shampoo and lukewarm water. Rinse with clean w ater.

Alw ays wash the entire roof.

Allow wet roof to dry – keep closed.

z Do not use high-pressure jet c leaners on wheels a nd tyres.

z Remove bird droppings im med ia tely.

z Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or stain removers.

z With roof open, clean slide rails a nd sliding p arts and grease with acid-free grease once per annum . C lean rubber parts as described in "Plastic and Rubber Parts" – page 229.

z Check wind deflector water drains for blockages and clean if necessary.

z Do not remove snow and ice using sharp objects.

Fuel consumption,CO2 emissions Directive 80/1268/EEC (last c hanged by 1999/100/EC) has ap plied for the measurement of fuel consumption since 1996.

The direc tive is oriented to actual driving practices: Urban driv ing is rated at approx. 1/3 and off-road driving with approx . 2/3 (urban a nd extra-urban c onsumption). Cold starts and acceleration phases are also taken into consideration.

The specification of CO2 emission is also a constituent of the directive.

The figures given m ust not be taken as a guarantee for the actual fuel consumption of a p artic ular vehicle.

The calculation of fuel consumption as spec ified by directive 1999/100/EC takes acc ount of the vehicle’s kerb weight, ascertained in accordance with the said regula tion. Optional extras may result in slightly higher fuel consumption and CO2 emission levels than those quoted.

To convert l/100 km into mpg, divide 282 by num ber of litres/100 km.

Weights, payload and roof load The p ayload is the difference between the permitted g ross vehicle weight (see identification plate, page 232) and the EC kerb weight.

To calculate the kerb weight, enter the data for your vehicle below: z Kerb weight from

Ta ble 1,pages 241 to 247 + ... ..... .... .. kg

z Weight of heavyaccessories from Ta ble 2,page 248 + ... ..... .... .. kg

The total = ... ..... .... .. kg

is the EC kerb w eight.

Optional equipment and accessories increase the kerb weight, which m eans that the p ayload will also change slig htly.

Note the weights given in the vehicle documents.

The combined total of front a nd rear ax le loa ds must not exceed the perm issible gross vehicle weight. For exa mple, if the front ax le is bearing its m aximum permissib le load, the rear axle can only bear a load that is eq ua l to the gross vehicle weig ht m inus the front axle load.

Corsa When the caravan/trailer is coupled and the towing vehic le fully loaded (including all occupants), the perm issible rear ax le loa d (see identification plate or vehicle docum ents) may be exceeded by 45 kg and the permissible gross vehicle weight by 15 kg. If the permissib le rear axle load is exc eeded, a maximum speed of (60 mph)100 km /h app lies. If national regulations specify a lower maxim um speed for vehicles towing a ca ra van/trailer, this must be observed .

See the identification plate or vehicle docum ents for permissib le ax le loads.

Corsava n, Comb oThe permissible axle loads must not be exc eeded.

See the identification plate or vehicle docum ents for permissib le ax le loads.
