136 Driving and operating

Driving hintsControl of the vehicleNever coast with engine notrunning (except during Autostop)Many systems will not function in thissituation (e.g. brake servo unit, powersteering). Driving in this manner is adanger to yourself and others. Allsystems function during an Autostop,but there will be a controlled reductionin power steering assist and vehiclespeed is reduced.Stop-start system 3 138.

Idle boostIf charging of the battery is requireddue to battery condition, the poweroutput of the generator has to beincreased. This will be achieved by anidle boost which may be audible. Amessage is displayed in the DriverInformation Centre.

PedalsTo ensure the pedal travel isuninhibited, there must be no mats inthe area of the pedals.Use only floor mats, which fit properlyand are fixed by the retainers on thedriver's side.

SteeringIf power steering assist is lostbecause the engine stops or due to asystem malfunction, the vehicle canbe steered but may require increasedeffort.Control indicator c 3 91.

Caution

Vehicles equipped with hydraulicpower steering:If the steering wheel is turned untilit reaches the end of its travel, andis held in that position for morethan 15 seconds, damage mayoccur to the power steeringsystem and there may be loss ofpower steering assist.

Ground clearanceDue to the reduced ground clearance,the vehicle can be damageddepending on the vehicle loading andappearance of the ground. Takespecial care and drive slowly on steepdriveways, entry and exit of parkinggarages, high kerbs and unevensurfaces. If possible, drive diagonallywith one wheel after another whenrunning over kerbs or unevensurfaces.


Starting and operatingNew vehicle running-inDo not brake unnecessarily hard forthe first few journeys.During the first drive, smoke mayoccur because of wax and oilevaporating off the exhaust system.Park the vehicle in the open for awhile after the first drive and avoidinhaling the fumes.During the running-in period fuel andengine oil consumption may behigher and the cleaning process ofthe diesel particle filter may takeplace more often. Autostop may beinhibited to allow for charging thevehicle battery.Diesel particle filter 3 142.

Retained power offThe following electronic systems canwork until the driver's door is openedor at the latest for 10 minutes after theignition is switched off:● power windows● power outlets

Power to the Infotainment system willcontinue to operate for 30 minutes oruntil the key is removed from theignition switch, regardless of whetherany door will be opened.

Starting the engine

Manual transmission: operate clutch.Automatic transmission: operatebrake and move the selector lever toP or N.Do not operate the accelerator pedal.Diesel engine: turn the key to position2 for preheating until controlindicator ! extinguishes.


Turn the key briefly to position 3 andrelease: an automatic procedureoperates the starter with a short delayas long as the engine is running, see'Automatic Starter Control'.Before restarting or to switch off theengine, turn the key back to position0.During an Autostop, the engine canbe started by depressing the clutchpedal.

Starting the vehicle at lowtemperaturesStarting the engine without additionalheaters is possible down to -25 °С fordiesel engines and -30 °C for petrolengines. Required is an engine oilwith the correct viscosity, the correctfuel, performed services and asufficiently charged vehicle battery.With temperatures below -30 °C theautomatic transmission needs awarming phase of approx. 5 minutes.The selector lever must be in positionP.

Automatic Starter ControlThis function controls the enginestarting procedure. The driver doesnot have to hold the key in position 3.Once applied, the system will go onstarting automatically until the engineis running. Because of the checkingprocedure, the engine starts runningafter a short delay.Possible reasons for a non-startingengine:● Clutch pedal not operated

(manual transmission).● Brake pedal not operated or

selector lever not in P or N(automatic transmission).

● Timeout occurred.

Turbo engine warm-upUpon start-up, engine availabletorque may be limited for a short time,especially when the enginetemperature is cold. The limitation isto allow the lubrication system to fullyprotect the engine.

Overrun cut-offThe fuel supply is automatically cut offduring overrun, i.e. when the vehicleis driven with a gear engaged butaccelerator is released.

Stop-start systemThe stop-start system helps to savefuel and to reduce the exhaustemissions. When conditions allow, itswitches off the engine as soon as thevehicle is at a low speed or at astandstill, e.g. at a traffic light or in atraffic jam. It starts the engineautomatically as soon as the clutch isdepressed. A vehicle battery sensorensures that an Autostop is onlyperformed if the vehicle battery issufficiently charged for a restart.

Caution

After running at high enginespeeds or with high engine loads,operate the engine briefly at a lowload or run in neutral for

approx. 30 seconds beforeswitching off, in order to protectthe turbocharger.

NoticeIn the event of an accident withairbag deployment, the engine isturned off automatically if the vehiclecomes to a standstill within a certaintime.


Engine exhaust

9 Danger

Engine exhaust gases containpoisonous carbon monoxide,which is colourless and odourlessand could be fatal if inhaled.If exhaust gases enter the interiorof the vehicle, open the windows.Have the cause of the faultrectified by a workshop.Avoid driving with an open loadcompartment, otherwise exhaustgases could enter the vehicle.

Diesel particle filterThe diesel particle filter system filtersharmful soot particles out of theexhaust gases. The system includesa self-cleaning function that runsautomatically during driving withoutany notification. The filter is cleanedby periodically burning off the sootparticles at high temperature. Thisprocess takes place automaticallyunder set driving conditions and maytake up to 25 minutes. Typically it

needs between 7 and 12 minutes.Autostop is not available and fuelconsumption may be higher duringthis period. The emission of smellsand smoke during this process isnormal.

Under certain driving conditions, e.g.short distances, the system cannotclean itself automatically.If the cleaning of the filter is requiredand if previous driving conditions didnot enable automatic cleaning, it willbe indicated by control indicator %.Simultaneously Diesel partic. filter isfull continue driving appears in theDriver Information Centre.

% illuminates when diesel particlefilter is full. Start cleaning process assoon as possible.% flashes when diesel particle filterhas reached the maximum fillinglevel. Start cleaning processimmediately to avoid damage to theengine.

Cleaning processTo activate cleaning process,continue driving, keep engine speedabove 2000 revolutions per minute.Shift down if necessary. Dieselparticle filter cleaning is then started.If additionally a message appears inthe Driver Information Centre thatcleaning is not possible, seek theassistance of a workshop.

Caution

If the cleaning process isinterrupted, there is a risk ofprovoking severe engine damage.

Cleaning takes place quickest at highengine speeds and loads.


The control indicator % extinguishesas soon as the self-cleaningoperation is complete.

Catalytic converterThe catalytic converter reduces theamount of harmful substances in theexhaust gases.

Caution

Fuel grades other than those listedon pages 3 178, 3 241 coulddamage the catalytic converter orelectronic components.Unburnt petrol will overheat anddamage the catalytic converter.Therefore avoid excessive use ofthe starter, running the fuel tankdry and starting the engine bypushing or towing.

In the event of misfiring, unevenengine running, a reduction in engineperformance or other unusualproblems, have the cause of the faultrectified by a workshop as soon aspossible. In an emergency, driving

can be continued for a short period,keeping vehicle speed and enginespeed low.

AdBlueGeneral informationThe selective catalytic reduction(BlueInjection) is a method tosubstantially reduce the nitrogenoxides in the exhaust emission. Thisis achieved by injecting a DieselExhaust Fluid (DEF) into the exhaustsystem.The designation of this fluid is AdBlueⓇ1). It is a non-toxic, non-flammable,colourless and odourless fluid whichconsists of 32% urea and 68% water.

9 Warning

Avoid contact of your eyes or skinwith AdBlue.In case of eye or skin contact,rinse off with water.

Caution

Avoid contact of the paintwork withAdBlue.In case of contact, rinse off withwater.

AdBlue freezes at a temperature ofapprox. -11 °C. As the vehicle isequipped with an AdBlue pre-heater,the emissions reduction at lowtemperatures is ensured. The AdBluepre-heater works automatically.

Level warningsThe AdBlue consumption is approx.4000 mpg and depends on the drivingbehaviour.If the AdBlue level falls below acertain value, a level warning AdBlueRange: 1500 mi will be displayed inthe Driver Information Centre.A volume of at least 5 litres of AdBluemust be refilled as soon as possible.Driving is possible without anyrestrictions.

are alternately displayed in the DriverInformation Centre.

Additionally, the control indicator Yflashes continuously and a warningchime sounds four times everythree minutes.After the prevention of the enginestart, the following message:Refill AdBlue To Start Vehiclewill be displayed.To restart the engine, the tank mustbe filled with AdBlue first.

High emission warningsIf the exhaust emission rises above acertain value, warnings similar to therange warnings as described abovewill be displayed in the DriverInformation Centre.Requests to have the exhaust systemchecked and finally theannouncement to prevent an enginerestart are displayed. Theserestrictions are a legal requirement.Seek your workshop for assistance.

Refilling AdBlue

Caution

Only use AdBlue that complieswith European standardsDIN 70 070 and ISO 22241-1.Do not use additives.Do not dilute AdBlue.Otherwise the selective catalyticreduction system could bedamaged.

NoticeOnly use the designated AdBluecanisters for refilling, to prevent atopping-up of too much AdBlue.Additionally, the fumes in the tankare captured in the canister and donot emerge.Since AdBlue has a limiteddurability, check the date of expirybefore refilling.


NoticeA volume of at least 5 litres of AdBluemust be added when refilling.Otherwise the refilling of AdBluemay not be detected by the system.In case AdBlue refill is notsuccessfully detected:1. Continuously drive the vehicle

for 10 minutes making sure thatvehicle speed is always higherthan 12 mph.

2. If AdBlue refill is detectedsuccessfully, AdBlue supplydriven limitations will disappear.

If AdBlue refill is still not detectedseek the assistance of a workshop.If AdBlue must be refilled attemperatures below -11 °C, therefilling of AdBlue may not bedetected by the system. In this case,park the vehicle in a space with ahigher ambient temperature untilAdBlue is liquefied.

NoticeWhen unscrewing the protective capfrom the filler neck, ammonia fumesmay emerge. Do not inhale as thefumes have a pungent smell. Thefumes are not harmful by inhalation.

The vehicle must be parked on a levelsurface.The filler neck for AdBlue is locatedbehind the fuel filler flap.The fuel filler flap is located at rightrear side of the vehicle.The fuel filler flap can only be openedif the vehicle is unlocked.1. Remove key from ignition lock.2. Close all doors to avoid ammonia

fumes entering the interior of thevehicle.

BrakesThe brake system comprises twoindependent brake circuits.If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle canstill be braked using the other brakecircuit. However, braking effect isachieved only when the brake pedalis depressed firmly. Considerablymore force is needed for this. Thebraking distance is extended. Seekthe assistance of a workshop beforecontinuing your journey.When the engine is not running, thesupport of the brake servo unitdisappears once the brake pedal hasbeen depressed once or twice.Braking effect is not reduced, butbraking requires significantly greaterforce. It is especially important to bearthis in mind when being towed.Control indicator R 3 90.

Antilock brake systemAntilock brake system (ABS)prevents the wheels from locking.

ABS starts to regulate brake pressureas soon as a wheel shows a tendencyto lock. The vehicle remainssteerable, even during hard braking.ABS control is made apparentthrough a pulse in the brake pedaland the noise of the regulationprocess.For optimum braking, keep the brakepedal fully depressed throughout thebraking process, despite the fact thatthe pedal is pulsating. Do not reducethe pressure on the pedal.After starting off the system performsa self-test which may be audible.

Fuel consumption - CO2-Emissions The fuel consumption (combined) iswithin a range of 39 to 54 mpg.The CO2 emission (combined) iswithin a range of 172 to 138 g/km.For the values specific to yourvehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate ofConformity provided with your vehicleor other national registrationdocuments.

General informationThe official fuel consumption andspecific CO2 emission figures quotedrelate to the EU base model withstandard equipment.Fuel consumption data and CO2emission data are determinedaccording to regulationR (EC) No. 715/2007 (in the latest

applicable version), taking intoconsideration the vehicle weight inrunning order, as specified by theregulation.The figures are provided only for thepurpose of comparison betweendifferent vehicle variants and mustnot be taken as a guarantee for theactual fuel consumption of aparticular vehicle. Additionalequipment may result in slightlyhigher results than the statedconsumption and CO2 figures.Furthermore, fuel consumption isdependent on personal driving styleas well as road and traffic conditions.

Trailer hitchGeneral informationOnly use towing equipment that hasbeen approved for your vehicle.Entrust retrofitting of towingequipment to a workshop. It may benecessary to make changes thataffect the cooling system, heatshields or other equipment.The bulb outage detection function fortrailer brake light cannot detect apartial bulb outage, e.g. in case of 4 x5 Watt bulbs, the function only detectslamp outage when only a single5 Watt lamp remains or none remain.Fitting of towing equipment couldcover the opening of the towing eye.If this is the case use the coupling ballbar for towing. Always keep thecoupling ball bar in the vehicle.


Driving characteristics andtowing tipsBefore attaching a trailer, lubricatethe coupling ball. However, do not doso if a stabiliser, which acts on thecoupling ball, is being used to reducesnaking movements.For trailers with low driving stabilityand caravan trailers with a permittedgross vehicle weight of more than1200 kg the use of a stabiliser isstrongly recommended when drivingabove 50 mph.If the trailer starts snaking, drive moreslowly, do not attempt to correct thesteering and brake sharply ifnecessary.When driving downhill, drive in thesame gear as if driving uphill anddrive at a similar speed.Adjust tyre pressure to the valuespecified for full load 3 247.

Trailer towingTrailer loadsThe permissible trailer loads arevehicle and engine-dependentmaximum values which must not beexceeded. The actual trailer load isthe difference between the actualgross weight of the trailer and theactual coupling socket load with thetrailer coupled.The permissible trailer loads arespecified in the vehicle documents. Ingeneral, they are valid for gradientsup to max. 12%.The permitted trailer load applies upto the specified incline and up to analtitude of 1000 metres above sealevel. Since engine power decreasesas altitude increases due to the airbecoming thinner, therefore reducingclimbing ability, the permissible grosstrain weight also decreases by 10%for every 1000 metres of additionalaltitude. The gross train weight doesnot have to be reduced when drivingon roads with slight inclines (less than8%, e.g. motorways).

The permissible gross train weightmust not be exceeded. This weight isspecified on the identification plate3 236.

Vertical coupling loadThe vertical coupling load is the loadexerted by the trailer on the couplingball. It can be varied by changing theweight distribution when loading thetrailer.The maximum permissible verticalcoupling load (75 kg) is specified onthe towing equipment identificationplate and in the vehicle documents.Always aim for the maximum load,especially in the case of heavytrailers. The vertical coupling loadshould never fall below 25 kg.


Rear axle loadWhen the trailer is coupled and thetowing vehicle fully loaded, thepermissible rear axle load (seeidentification plate or vehicledocuments) may be exceeded by100 kg, the gross vehicle weightrating may be exceeded by 100 kg. Ifthe permissible rear axle load isexceeded, a maximum speed of60 mph applies.

Towing equipment

Caution

Appearance careExterior careLocksThe locks are lubricated at the factoryusing a high quality lock cylindergrease. Use de-icing agent only whenabsolutely necessary, as this has adegreasing effect and impairs lockfunction. After using a de-icing agent,have the locks regreased by aworkshop.

WashingThe paintwork of your vehicle isexposed to environmental influences,therefore wash your vehicle regularly.When using automatic vehiclewashes, we recommend one withtextile brushes and a programmewithout wax additives.When doing a hand wash, use clearwater and a soft brush, cleaning in thegrain direction of the textile hood.Never use a steam-jet or high-pressure jet cleaner for the soft top orthe engine compartment.

230 Vehicle care

Wax painted parts of the vehicleregularly.Bird droppings, dead insects, resin,pollen and the like should be cleanedoff immediately, as they containaggressive constituents which cancause paint and fabric damage.If using a vehicle wash, comply withthe vehicle wash manufacturer'sinstructions. The windscreen wipermust be switched off. Removeadditional antenna and externalaccessories.If you wash your vehicle by hand,make sure that the insides of thewheel housings are also thoroughlyrinsed out.Clean edges and folds on openeddoors and the bonnet as well as theareas they cover.Clean bright metal mouldings with acleaning solution approved foraluminium to avoid damage.

Caution

Always use a cleaning agent witha pH value of four to nine.Do not use cleaning agents on hotsurfaces.

Caution

After washing or cleaning, the softtop must be completely driedbefore opening. If a wet soft topremains opened for a longer time,it would be damaged by waterspotting and mould growth.

When cleaning with a high-pressurejet cleaner ensure a minimumdistance of 30 cm to the rear brandemblem to prevent unintendedunlocking.Thoroughly rinse and leather-off thevehicle. Rinse leather frequently. Useseparate leathers for painted andglass surfaces: remnants of wax onthe windows will impair vision.Have the door hinges of all doorsgreased by a workshop.

Exterior lightsHeadlight and other light covers aremade of plastic. Do not use anyabrasive or caustic agents, do not usean ice scraper, and do not clean themdry.

Polishing and waxingWax painted parts of the vehicleregularly (at the latest when water nolonger beads). Otherwise, thepaintwork will dry out.Polishing is necessary only if the painthas become dull or if solid depositshave become attached to it.Paintwork polish with silicone forms aprotective film, making waxingunnecessary.Soft top as well as plastic body partsmust not be treated with wax orpolishing agents.

Windows and windscreen wiperbladesUse a soft lint-free cloth or chamoisleather together with window cleanerand insect remover.

Vehicle care 231

When cleaning the rear window frominside, always wipe in parallel to theheating element to prevent damage.For mechanical removal of ice, use asharp-edged ice scraper. Press thescraper firmly against the glass sothat no dirt can get under it andscratch the glass.Remove dirt residues from smearingwiper blades by using a soft cloth andwindow cleaner. Also make sure toremove any residues such as wax,insect residues and similar from thewindow.Ice residues, pollution and continuouswiping on dry windows will damage oreven destroy the wiper blades.

Wheels and tyresDo not use high-pressure jetcleaners.Clean rims with a pH-neutral wheelcleaner.Rims are painted and can be treatedwith the same agents as the body.

Paintwork damageRectify minor paintwork damage witha touch-up pen before rust forms.Have more extensive damage or rustareas repaired by a workshop.

UnderbodySome areas of the vehicle underbodyhave a PVC undercoating while othercritical areas have a durableprotective wax coating.After the underbody is washed, checkthe underbody and have it waxed ifnecessary.Bitumen/rubber materials coulddamage the PVC coating. Haveunderbody work carried out by aworkshop.Before and after winter, wash theunderbody and have the protectivewax coating checked.

Towing equipmentDo not clean the coupling ball bar witha steam-jet or high-pressure jetcleaner.

Interior careInterior and upholsteryOnly clean the vehicle interior,including the instrument panel fasciaand panelling, with a dry cloth orinterior cleaner.Clean the leather upholstery withclear water and a soft cloth. In case ofheavy soiling, use leather care.The instrument cluster and thedisplays should only be cleaned usinga soft damp cloth. If necessary use aweak soap solution.Clean fabric upholstery with avacuum cleaner and brush. Removestains with an upholstery cleaner.Clothing fabrics may not becolourfast. This could cause visiblediscolourations, especially on light-coloured upholstery. Removablestains and discolourations should becleaned as soon as possible.Clean seat belts with lukewarm wateror interior cleaner.

234 Service and maintenance

ConfirmationsConfirmation of service is recorded inthe Service and Warranty Booklet.The date and mileage is completedwith the stamp and signature of theservicing workshop.Make sure that the Service andwarranty booklet is completedcorrectly as continuous proof ofservice is essential if any warranty orgoodwill claims are to be met, and isalso a benefit when selling thevehicle.

Service interval with remainingengine oil life durationThe service interval is based onseveral parameters depending onusage.The service display lets you knowwhen to change the engine oil.Service display 3 85.

Recommended fluids,lubricants and partsRecommended fluids andlubricantsOnly use products that meet therecommended specifications.

9 Warning

Operating materials arehazardous and could bepoisonous. Handle with care. Payattention to information given onthe containers.

Engine oilEngine oil is identified by its qualityand its viscosity. Quality is moreimportant than viscosity whenselecting which engine oil to use. Theoil quality ensures e.g. enginecleanliness, wear protection and oilaging control, whereas viscositygrade gives information on the oil'sthickness over a temperature range.

Dexos is the newest engine oil qualitythat provides optimum protection forpetrol and diesel engines. If it isunavailable, engine oils of other listedqualities must be used.Select the appropriate engine oilbased on its quality and on theminimum ambient temperature3 238.

Topping up engine oilEngine oils of different manufacturersand brands can be mixed as long asthey comply with the required engineoil quality and viscosity.Use of engine oil with onlyACEA A1/B1 or only A5/B5 quality isprohibited, since it can cause long-term engine damage under certainoperating conditions.Select the appropriate engine oilbased on its quality and on theminimum ambient temperature3 238.

Additional engine oil additivesThe use of additional engine oiladditives could cause damage andinvalidate the warranty.

Service and maintenance 235

Engine oil viscosity gradesThe SAE viscosity grade givesinformation on the thickness of the oil.Multigrade oil is indicated by twofigures, e.g. SAE 5W-30. The firstfigure, followed by a W, indicates thelow temperature viscosity and thesecond figure the high temperatureviscosity.Select the appropriate viscosity gradedepending on the minimum ambienttemperature 3 238.All of the recommended viscositygrades are suitable for high ambienttemperatures.

Coolant and antifreezeUse only organic acid type-long lifecoolant (LLC) antifreeze approved forthe vehicle. Consult a workshop.The system is factory filled withcoolant designed for excellentcorrosion protection and frostprotection down to approx. -28 °C. Innorthern countries with very lowtemperatures the factory filled coolantprovides frost protection down toapprox. -37 °C. This concentration

should be maintained all year round.The use of additional coolantadditives that intend to give additionalcorrosion protection or seal againstminor leaks can cause functionproblems. Liability for consequencesresulting from the use of additionalcoolant additives will be rejected.

Brake and clutch fluidOver time, brake fluid absorbsmoisture which will reduce brakingeffectiveness. The brake fluid shouldtherefore be replaced at the specifiedinterval.

AdBlueOnly use AdBlue to reduce thenitrogen oxides in the exhaustemission 3 143.

Vehicle data recordingand privacyEvent data recordersThe vehicle has a number ofsophisticated systems that monitorand control several vehicle data.Some data may be stored duringregular operation to facilitate repair ofdetected malfunctions, other data isstored only in a crash or near crashevent by modules in your vehiclesystems that have an event datarecording function such as the airbagcontrol module.The systems may record diagnosticdata about the condition of the vehicle(e.g. oil level or vehicle mileage) andinformation how it was operated(e.g. engine speed, brake applicationand seat belt usage).To read this data, special equipmentand access to the vehicle is required.Some diagnostic data is electronicallyfed into Vauxhall global systemswhen the vehicle is serviced in aworkshop, in order to document theservice history of the vehicle. This

enables the workshop to offer youefficient maintenance and repair,tailored to your individual vehicle,each time you bring it back to theworkshop.The manufacturer will not accessdriver's behaviour related informationabout a crash event or share it withothers except:● with the consent of the vehicle

owner or, if the vehicle is leased,of the lessee

● in response to an official requestof police or similar governmentoffice

● as part of the manufacturer'sdefense in case of legalproceedings

● as required by law


In addition, the manufacturer may usethe collected or received diagnosticdata:● for the manufacturer's research
