Airbag system
The airbag system consists of several
internal systems.
Front airb ag system 3
The front airbag system will be triggered in
the event of a serious accident involving a
frontal impact and forms safety cushions

passenger is checked and the risk of
injuries to the upper body a nd head
thereby substantially reduced.
Side airbag system 3
The side a irb ag system triggers when a
side-on collision occurs a nd provides a
safety barrier for the driver and/or
passenger in the respective front door
area. This reduc es the risk of injury to the
up per body considerably in case of a side
impact.

When trigg ered, the front airbags inflate in
milliseconds to form a safety cushion for
the d riv er and front pas senger. The
forward movement of the front seat
occupants is checked, thereby
substantially reducing the risk of injury to
the upp er body and head.
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
zthe ignition is switched off,
zminor frontal collisions,
zaccidents in which the vehicle overturns,
zcollisions involving a side or rear impa ct,
that is to say, if it w ould not be of benefit to

If the gear does not enga ge, set the lever in
neutral, release the clutch pedal and
depress again; then repeat gear selection.
Do not grind the clutch unnecessarily.
When operating, depress the clutch ped al
completely. Do not use the pedal as a foot
rest (increases clutch wear).
Caution
Do not turn beyond the resistance, since
this can damage the Easytronic

Driving hints
The first 600 miles (1000 km)
Drive your vehicle at various speeds. Do
not use full throttle. Never allow the eng ine
to labour at low revs.
Change gear frequently. Do not press the
accelerator pedal more than approx. 3/4 in
all gears.
Do not drive faster than three quarters of
maximum speed.
Do not brake unnecessarily hard for the
first 125 miles (200 km).
During the first drive, smoke m ay d evelop
because of wax and oil evaporating off the
exhaust system. Park the vehicle in the
open for a while after the first drive and
avoid inhaling the fumes.
Fuel and engine oil consum ption is higher
than normal during the running-in period.
Never coast with engine not running
Many units will not function in this situation
(e.g. brake servo unit, power steering 3).
Driving in this manner is a da nger 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 e lectric powe r s tee ring fa ils whe n
being towed w ith the eng ine switched off –
the vehicle can still be steered, but
considera bly more forc e is required.
Driving in mountainous terrain or with a
caravan/trailer
The cooling fan is electrically operated. Its
cooling p ow er is therefore independent of
the engine speed.
Since a considerable amount of heat is
genera ted at high engine speeds and less
at slower speeds, do not shift d own when
climbing hills whilst the v ehicle is still coping
with the gradient in the higher g ear.
Diesel engines: On gradients of 10% or
more, do not drive fa ster tha n 20 mph
(30 km/h) in first gear or 30 mph (50 km/h)
in second gea r.
Driv ing with a roof loa d
Do not exceed the permissible roof load,
3177. For reasons of safety, distribute the
load evenly and strap it down firmly using
reta ining straps so that it cannot slip.
C heck the ty re press ure when the ve hicle is
loaded. Do not travel faster than 75 mph
(120 km/h). Check and re-tighten the stra ps
frequently. Observe country-specific
regulations.
Sw itching off the engi ne
When you switch off, fans in the engine
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 approxim ately two
minutes in order to prevent heat
acc um ulation.
V ehicles with turbocharged engine
After running at high eng ine speeds or high
eng ine loads, op erate the engine briefly at
a low load or run in neutral for approx.
3 0 se con ds befo re switch in g off in order
to protec t the turbocharger.
103Driving and o peration
Save energy – m ore m iles
Please observe the running-in hints on the
previous page and the tips for sav ing
energy on the following pa ges.
Good, technically correct and economical
driving ensures ma ximum durability and
performance for your vehicle.
Overrun cut-off
The fuel supply is autom atically cut off
during overrun, e.g. when the vehicle is
driven w ith a gear engaged but no throttle
application. Overrun cut-off is deactivated
if catalytic converter temperature is high.
V ehicles with turbocharged engine
Flow -g enerate d 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 as much 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.
In automatic mode, Easytronic 3 does not
shift to the higher gears after a cold start
until higher engine speeds are reached.
This allows the catalytic converter to
quic kly reach the temperature that is
required for optim um pollutant reduction.
Correct g ear selection
Do not race your engine whilst in neutral or
with a low gear selected. Driving too fast in
indiv idual gears as well as stop-a nd-g o
tra ffic increases engine wear and fuel
consumption.
Change dow n
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.
Cooling fan
The cooling fan is controlled via a
therm oswitch and therefore only runs if
necessary.
The cooling fan automatica lly switches on
when the diesel particle filter is being
cleaned 3 depending on the engine.
Pedals
Do not place any ob jects in the footwell
which could slip under the pedals 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 loads where
possible (e.g. heated rear window, heated
fron t se ats, etc. ).
Depress the clutch pedal when starting in
order to relieve the stra in on the starter and
the battery.

Saving Fuel, Protecting the
Environment
Trend-set ting technology
Environmenta lly friendly and mainly
recyclable materia ls were used when your
vehic le was being developed and
manufactured. The production methods
used to make your vehicle are also
environmentally-compatible.
Recycling of production wastes keeps the
circulation of material closed. Reduction of
energy and water requirements also helps
to conserve natural resources.
A highly advanced design mea ns that your
vehicle can be easily disassembled at the
end of its working life, and the individual
materials separated for subse quent re -use.
Materia ls such as asbestos and cadmium
are not us ed . The re frigerant in the air

Energy and environm ent-c onsci ous
drivi ng
zHigh noise levels and exhaust emissions
are often a result of driving w ithout due
attention to saving energy and
protecting the environment.
zYou should therefore drive with energy in
mind: "more miles – less fuel".
Reduce the noise level and exhaust
emissions by adopting an environment-
consc ious driving style. This is extremely
worthwhile and im proves the quality of
life.
Fuel consumption depends to a great
extent on your own personal driving
style. The following hints are intended to
help you consume fuel at a rate that is as
close as possib le to the specified levels
3175.
Check your vehicle’s fuel consumption
every time you refuel. This facilitates
early detection of any irregula rities
causing increased fuel consumption.
Warming up
zFull throttle and w arming up at idle
speed increase wear, fuel consumption,
ex haust em ission, the am ount of
pollutant in the exhaust and the amount
of noise.
zDriv e off imm ediately after starting.
Warm up the engine by running it at
moderate eng ine speeds.
Uniform speed
zHectic driving significantly increases fuel
consumption, the exhaust emissions, the
proportion of pollutant in the exhaust
gas and the noise level.
zDo 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 means
of clever planning. Select road s w ith
good traffic flow .
Idling
zThe engine also consumes fuel when
idling .
zIf you have to wait for more than one
minute, it is worthwhile switching off the
engine. Five minutes of idling
corresponds to ap proximately 0.6 miles
(1 km) of driving.
105Driving and o peration
Overrun
zThe fuel supply is automatically shut off
during overrun, e.g. when the vehicle is
being driven down long gradients or
when braking 3103.
zTo enable the overrun cut-off to come
into action and save fuel, do not
accelerate or d epress the c lutch pedal
during overrun.
Corr ect gear selec tion
zHigh revs increase engine w ear and fuel
consumption.
zDo not race your engine. Avoid driving at
high engine speeds.
Making use of the tachom eter helps to
save fuel. Drive in a low e ngine s pee d
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
zThe 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 emissions.
zSlightly relea sing the accelerator ped al
results in distinct fuel savings with no
major loss of speed.
Drive at no more than around three
quarters of maximum speed and you will
use up to 50% less fuel, without losing a
great deal of time.
Tyre pressure
zInadequate tyre pressure, leading to
higher road resistance, costs m oney in
two ways: for more fuel and increased
tyre wear.
zRegular checks (every 14 d ays) pay off.
Ele ctri cal loa ds
zThe power consum ption of electrical
equipment increases fuel consumption.
zSwitch off all auxiliary electrical loads
(e.g. air c onditioning 3, heated rear
window) when not needed.
Roof racks
zDue to air resistance, a roof load can
increase fuel consump tion by approx.
3.5 gal./1000 miles (1l/100 km).
zRemove them if they are not being used.
Repai r and m aintenance
zImproper repairs or adjustm ent and
maintenance work can increase fuel
consumption. Do not carry out work on
the engine yourself.
You may out of ignorance infringe
environmental law s b y not dis posing of
materials properly.
Appropriate parts might not b e recycled.
Contact with some of the materia ls
involved may pose a health hazard.
zWe recommend that repair and
maintenance be entrusted to your
Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
Extrem e d riving conditions
zGoing up steep slopes, cornering, driving
on poor road s and winter driving all
increase fuel consumption.
Fuel consumption increa ses dramatically
in urba n tra ffic a nd at win ter
temperatures, especially on short trip s
when the e ngine operating te mpe ra ture
is not reached.
zFollowing the instruc tions given above
will minimise consum ption under these
cond itions.

exhaust emissions, such as carbon
monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (CH) a nd
nitrogen oxides (NOx), are reduced to a

Caution
Damage to the catalytic c onverter or the
vehic le may result if the following p oints
are not observed.
109Driving and o peration
Exhaust gas control indicator Z
Illuminates when the ignition is switched on
and during the start attempt. Goes off
shortly after the engine starts running.
Illumination whilst the engine is running
indicates a fa ult in the em ission control
system. The permissible emission limits
may be exceeded. Contact a workshop for
assistance im med iately.
Illumination with the engine running
indicates a fault that can cause da mage to
the c atalytic converter. It is possible to
continue driving without causing d amage
by slowing down until the flashing stops
and the control indicator illuminates.
Contact a workshop for assistance
immediately.
Control indicator A for engine electronics
Illum inate s fo r a fe w se con ds wh e n ign ition

If it come s on whe n the engine is running,
there is a fault in the engine or transmission
electronics. The electronics switch to the
emergency running programme, fuel
consumption may increase and the
driveab ility of the veh icle may be affecte d.
In some cases the fault can be remedied by
switching the engine off and starting it
again. If the control indicator continues to
illuminate whilst the engine is running,
contact a workshop for assistance in
remedying the cause of the fault.
If it illuminates briefly, but does not rec ur, it
is of no significance.
If A illuminates, there may b e water in the
diesel fuel filter 3. Ha ve the fuel filter
checked for water residue by a workshop

Engine exhaust
9 Warning
Eng ine exhaust gases contain poisonous
carbon m onoxide, which is colourless
and odourless and could be fatal if
inhaled.
If exhaust gases penetrate the vehicle,
open windows and contact a workshop
for assistance.
Avoid driving with an open ta ilgate.
Otherwise, exhaust gases could get into
the interior.

Diesel p artic le fi lter 3
The d ies el pa rticle filter s ys tem filte rs
harmful soot particles out of the exhaust
gases. The system includes a self-cleaning
function that run automatically d uring
driving. The filter is cleaned by burning off
the soot particles at high temperature. This
process takes place automa tic ally under
set driving conditions and may take up to
25 minutes. Fuel consumption may be
higher during this period. The emission of
smells and smoke during this p rocess is
normal.
Under certain driving conditions, e.g. short
distances, the system cannot clean itself
autom atic ally.
If the filter re quires cle aning and prev ious
driving conditions did not enable
autom atic cleaning, control indicator !
flashes. Continue driving, keeping engine
speed above 2000 rpm-1 . Shift down if
necessary. Diesel particle filter cleaning is
then initiated.
We recommend that you do not stop your
journey or switch off the ignition during
cleaning. Cleaning takes place most
quickly at high engine sp eeds and high
loads.
111Driving and o peration
The control indica tor ! goes off as soon as
the self-cleaning operation is complete.
Maintenance
Have all maintena nce work c arried out at
the specified intervals. We recomm end
that you entrust this work to your Vauxhall
Authorised Repairer, who ha s p roper
equipment and trained personnel
available. Electronic testing syste ms pe rmit
ra pid diagnosis and remedy of faults. This
way you can be certain that all
components of the vehicle’s electrical,
injection and ignition system s operate
correctly, that your vehicle has a low level
of polluta nt em ission and tha t the catalytic
conv erter sys tem will h ave a long serv ice
life.
You are thereby making an important
contribution towa rds keeping the air clean
and compliance with em issions legislation.
Check ing and adjustm ent of the fuel-
injection and ignition system s is p art of the
scope of inspection. For this rea son you
should have all maintenance work carried
out at the intervals specified in your Service
and Warranty Booklet.
Hydraulic brake system
The foot brak e compris es two indepe ndent
brak e circuits.
If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can still be
brak ed using the other brake circuit.
Howe ve r, the b ra ke p edal must be
depressed a considerable way before any
brak ing effect occurs, and much more
force is required. The braking distance is
longer. Contact a w orkshop for assistance
before continuing to drive.
112 Driv in g and op era tio n
To ensure the full pedal travel can be
utilised, especially in c ase of a fault in one
of the brak e circuits, there must b e no mats
in the vicinity of the pedals 3103.
W hen the engine is not running, the
support of the brake servo unit d isappears
once the brake pedal has been depressed
once or tw ic e. Bra king effect is not
red uced, but b ra king requires significantly
greater force. This is especially im portant
to be ar in mind whe n tow ing.
The b ra ke fluid le vel should be check ed
reg ularly. If the brake fluid level is too low
and the handbrake is not ap plied, control
indicator R on the instrume nt panel
illuminates 366 . Brake system control indicator R
The control indica tor illuminates w hen the
ignition is switc hed on if the handbra ke is
applied or if the brake or clutc h fluid level is
too low. Brake fluid 3168.
For vehicles with Easytronic 3, the control
indicator flashes for a few seconds w hen
the ignition is turned off if the handbrake i s
not applied.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS u)3
ABS prevents the wheels from locking.
ABS starts to reg ulate brake pressure as
soon as a wheel shows a tendency to lock.
The ve hicle re mains stee ra ble, e ve n during
hard braking.
ABS control is mad e ap parent though a
pulse in the brake pedal and the noise of
the regulation process.
For optimum braking, keep the brake
pedal fully depressed throughout the
brak ing process, despite the fact that the
pedal is pulsating. Do not reduce the
pressure on the peda l.
9 Warning
If the control indicator illum inates when
the handbrake is released, stop driving
immed iately. Contact a workshop for
assista nce.
113Driving and o peration
Cont rol indica tor u for ABS
It illuminates for a few seconds when
ignition is switched on. Once the c ontrol
indicator goes out, the system is read y for
operation.
If the control indicator does not go out
after a few seconds, or if it illuminates while
driving, there is a fault in the ABS. The
brake system remains operational without
ABS regulation.
Self testing
When the engine is started and the vehicle
starts off, the system performs a self-check,
whic h may be a udib le.
Fault
Have cause of fault remedied by a
workshop. The system’s integrated self
diagnostics allow faults to be quickly
re me d i ed .
Handbrake
Always apply handbrake firmly without
operating the release button, and apply as
firmly as possible on a downhill or uphill
slope.
To rele as e the handb ra ke p ull the le ve r up
slightly, press the ratchet knob, and fully
lower the lever.
In order to reduce the handbrake
operational forces, depress the foot brake
at the same tim e.
9 Warning
If there is a fault in the ABS, the wheels
may be liable to lock due to braking that
is heavier than normal. The advantages
of ABS are no longer available. During
hard braking, the vehicle can no longer
be steered and may swerve.
114 Driv in g and op era tio n
Brake assist
When the brake pedal is rapidly and
forcefully de press ed, the ve hicle is
automatically braked with ma ximum b ra ke
force a mplification in order to obtain the
shortest possib le braking distance during
full-on braking (brake assist).
Maintain s teady pressure on the brak e
pedal for as long as full-on brak ing is to
continue . W hen the brake ped al is
released, the max imum brake force
amp lification is taken away.
Wheels, ty res
Suitable tyres or limitations 3179.
Tyres fitted in the factory are adapted to
the chassis and provide optimum driving
comfort and safety.
Changing tyre/wheel type
If tyres of a different size than those fitted
at the factory are used, it may be
necessary to reprogram the electronic
speedom eter and make other v ehicle
modifications.
After converting to a different tyre size,
ha ve the adhesive label with tyre pressures
replaced.
Fitti ng new tyr es
Fit tyres in pa irs or in sets, which is even
better. Ensure that tyres on one axle are
zthe same size,
zthe same design,
zthe same make,
zand 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 tyre) should b e
refitted as soon as possible. This is the only
way to benefit fully from the design
properties of the tyre.
Pay attention to legal requirements w hen
disposing of tyres.
9 Warning
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheels may
lead to accidents and render the vehicle
unroadworthy.
115Driving and o peration
Tyre pr essure
Check tyre pressure 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 3.
Remove the valve ca p key from the tank
flap and use it to unscrew the v alve cap.
Tyre pressure 3179, 3180 and on the
adhesive label on the inside of the tank
flap.
The tyre pressure d ata is for cold tyres. It
applies to both summer and winter tyres.
Alw ays inflate the spare wheel 3 to the
pressure specified for full load.
Do not reduce tyre pressure when the tyres
are wa rm. O the rwise the pressure may
drop b elow the perm issible minimum when
the tyres cool down.
After having checked the tyre pressure,
tig hten the valve caps using the valve cap
key .
Incorrect infla tion pressures will imp air
safety, vehicle handling, comfort and fuel
economy and will increase tyre wear.
9 Warning
If the pressure is too low , this can result
in consid erable tyre warm-up and
internal da mage, leading to tread
sepa ra tion and even to tyre blow-out at
high speeds.
116 Driv in g and op era tio n
Tyre condition, wheel condition
Drive over edges slowly and at right angles

Seek the assistance of a workshop in the
event of dam age or unusual wear.
Tread depth
Check tread depth re gu larly.
For reasons of safety, tyres should be
replaced when their tread depth has worn
down to 2 to 3 mm (winter tyres: 4 mm ).
The leg ally permissible minimum trea d

Caravan/trailer towing
Cara van and trailer loa ds1)
The permissible caravan/trailer loads are
vehicle and engine-dependent maximum
values which mus t not be exce ed ed. The
actual carav an/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.
The permissible caravan/trailer loads are
specified in the vehicle documents. In
genera l, they are v alid for gradients up to
max. 12%.
The permitted caravan/trailer load a pplies
up to the sp ecified incline and up to a n
altitude of 1000 metres above sea level.
Since engine power decreases as altitude
increa ses because of the air becoming
thinne r, 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 than 8%,
e.g. motorways).
The perm issible gross train weight must not
be exceeded. This weight is specified on
the identification plate 3171.
1) O bs erv e na ti ona l reg ula t io ns.
120 Driv in g and op era tio n
Coup ling socket l oa d
The coupling socket load is the load
exerted by the caravan/trailer on the
coupling ball. It can b e varied by changing
the w eight distribution when loading the
caravan/trailer.
The ma ximum permissible coup ling socket
load (50 kg) is specified on the towing
equipm ent identification plate and in the
vehicle documents. Always aim for the
maximum load, especia lly in the ca se of
heavy caravans/trailers. The coupling
soc ket load should never fall below 25 kg.
When measuring the coupling socket load,
make sure that the drawbar of the loa ded
caravan/trailer is at the sa me height as it
will be when the caravan/trailer is coupled
with the towing vehicle loaded. Particularly
important for caravans/trailers with
tandem axle.
Rear axle load during tow ing
The permissible axle loads must not be
exceeded.
Driving characteristics, towing tips
In the case of caravans/trailers with brakes,
attach breakaway stopping cable to eye.
Before a tta ching the caravan/trailer,
lubricate the ball of the ca ra van/trailer
towing devic e. However, 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.
Caravans/trailers with LED turn signa ls
require a p rovision that make bulb
replacem ent as with stand ard bulbs
possible.
Handling is greatly influenced by the
loading of the caravan/tra iler. Loads
should therefore be secured so that they
cannot slip and be placed in the centre of
the caravan/trailer if possible, i.e. above
the axle.
In the case of trailers with low driv ing
stability, d o not exceed a speed of
50 mph (80 km/h); the use of a friction-type
stabiliser is hig hly recomm ended.
If the caravan/trailer starts to sway, drive
more slowly, do not attempt to correct the
steering and brake sharply if necessary.
If it is necessary to apply the brakes fully,
depress the brake pedal a s hard as
possible.
Remem ber that the braking d istance for
vehicles towing caravans/trailers with and
without brake is always greater than that
for vehicles not towing a caravan/trailer.
When driving downhill, driv e in the sa me
gear as if driving uphill and drive at a
similar speed.
Adjust tyre pressure to the value specified
for full load 3115, 3179.
