Driving Hints
Driving Hints
Vehi cles w ith turb ocharged engine After running at hig h engine speeds or high engine loads, opera te the engine briefly at a low load or run in neutral for approx. 30 sec onds before switching off in order to protect the turbocha rger.
83
Engine speed
Driv e in a low engine speed range for each gear a s m uc h as possible.
Pedals
Do not place any ob jects in the foot well which could slip under the ped als and inhibit the pedal trav el. To ensure the pedal travel is uninhibited, there must be no mats in the area of the pedals.
Warm ing 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.
Battery c are
When driving slowly or when the v ehicle is stationary , e.g. in slow urban traffic, stopand-go traffic or traffic jams, turn off all unnecessary electrical load s w here possible (e. g. heated rear window, auxiliary headlights, etc.). Declutch w hen sta rting in order to relieve the strain on the starter and the ba ttery.
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 do not de-clutch. To prevent dam age to the cata ly tic converter, overrun cut-off is temp orarily deactivated when the cataly tic conv erter temperature is high. Vehi cles w ith turb ocharged engine Flow -g enerated noises may be aud ible if the a ccelerator is released quickly due to air flow in the turbocharger.
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
Alw ays dep ress the clutch ped al hard to the floor to prev ent shifting difficulties and tra nsmission dam age. When driving do not use the pedal as a foot rest; this will ca use substantial clutch wear.
84
Warming up
z Full throttle and w arming up at idle speed increase w ear, fuel consumption, ex haust em ission, the am ount of pollutant in the exhaust and the am ount of noise. z Driv e 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 ex haust 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 .
Trend-setting technology
When dev eloping and manufac turing your vehic le, Vauxhall used environmentfriendly and pred om inantly recyc la ble materials. The production methods used to mak e y our v ehicle 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 adv anced design mea ns that your vehic le can be easily disassembled at the end of its serv ic e life, and the ind ividual 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 C FC -free.
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. Fiv e m inutes of idling corresponds to ap prox imately one 0.6 miles of driving.
85
Tyre pressure
z Inadequate ty re p ressure, leading to higher road resistance, costs m oney in two wa ys: for more fuel and increased tyre wear. z Regular checks (every 14 d ays) pay off.
Electrical loads
z 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.
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.
Roof racks
z Due to air resistance, a roof load can increase fuel consump tion by approx. 3.5 gals/h. z Remove them if they are not being used.

Foot bra ke The foot brak e comprises two independent brak e circuits. If a brak e circuit fails, the vehicle can still be brak ed using the other brak e circuit. If this occurs, howev er, the brake pedal must be depressed q uite far using considerab le force before braking effect occurs. The distance required for b ra king will be greater. Consult a work shop before continuing y our journey . We recommend y our Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. To ensure the full peda l travel can be utilized, especially in case of a fault in one of the b ra ke circuits, there m ust be no ma ts in the vicinity of the p edals see p age 83.
Brakes
When the engine is not running, the sup port of the brak e servo unit d isappears once the brake pedal has been depressed once or tw ic e. Bra king effect is not red uced, b ut b ra king requires significantly greater force. This is especially im portant to bear in mind when tow ing. Check the brake lights b efore starting out on a journey. Shortly after starting ea ch journey the effectiveness of the brake system should be tested at low sp eed and without inconveniencing other traffic, especially if the brakes are wet, e.g. after the vehicle ha s b een washed. The brake fluid lev el should be checked regularly. If the brak e fluid level is too low and the hand brake is not a pplied, control indica tor R on the instrument panel illuminates see page 20.

9 Warning
Use of unsuitab le tyres or wheels m ay lead to accidents and render the vehicle unroa dworthy .
9 Warnin g
We recom mend that you have your ty res chang ed b y y our 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 environm ent and y our health.
Wheels, Tyres
Some brands of tyres have a beaded edge for alloy wheels to protect against dam age. If wheel covers a re used on steel wheels with bead ed-edge tyres, the follow ing requirem ents must be fulfilled: z Use of wheel trims and tyres that approved by Vauxhall for the vehicle in question and thereby fulfil all requirements for the wheel and tyre com bination. z If the wheel covers and tyres used are not Vauxhall-approved, the tyres m ust not have a bead ed edge.
97
9 Warning
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel covers could lead to sudden pressure loss and thereby accidents.
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. Dont forget to check the spare. For tyre pressures refer to page 152 and the adhesive label on the left-side front door frame. After changing tyre sizes, have the label replac ed. Do not reduce ty re pressure when the tyres are wa rm. O therwise the pressure may drop b elow the perm issible minimum when the tyres cool down. Sec urely retig hten valve caps after checking the tyre pressures.
Incorrect inflation pressures will impair safety, vehicle handling, comfort and fuel econom y and w ill increase tyre wear. If the pressure is too low , this 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 inflation pressure.
9 Warnin g
Incorrect ty re pressure could lead to a flat tyre.
98
Wheels, Tyres
Check tyres regularly for dama ge (foreign bodies, punctures, cuts, crack s, 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.
9 Warning
Dama ge m ay lead to ty re blow-out.
If w ear in the front is greater than that in the rear, m ov e the rear wheels to the front ax le and vice versa. C orrect 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).
Wheels, Tyres
General i nformati on 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 y ou do not know. z So as not to im pair brake cooling , use only wheel trims app rov ed for use on your vehicle. 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.

Winter tyres 3
Information on fitting new tyres see page 96. See page 152 for restric tions. Winter 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 drivers field of v ision 1). If y ou use the spare wheel when it is fitted with a summer tyre, the v ehicle s driveability may be affected, espec ia lly on slip pery roa d surfaces. Ob ta in a rep la cement for the faulty ty re as soon a s possible, and hav e the wheel balanced and fitted to the v ehicle.
Tyre chains
Tyre chains are permitted on the front wheels. They must be fitted to the ty res symm etrically in order to achiev e a concentric fit. Use fine mesh chains. See page 152. We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.

Caravan/trailer loads 1)
The permissible caravan/trailer loads are vehicle-dependent and eng ine-dependent maximum values which must not be exc eeded. The actual c aravan/trailer load is the difference between the actual g ross weight of the caravan/trailer and the actual coupling socket load w ith the caravan/trailer coupled. When the caravan/trailer load is being checked, therefore, only the carava n/trailer wheels and not the jockey wheel must be standing on the weighing app aratus. The permissible caravan/trailer loads for your vehicle are given in the vehicle docum ents. Unless otherwise stated, they are v alid for gradients up to ma x. 12 %. The permissible caravan/trailer load should be fully utilised only by d riv ers who are adeq uately experienced in towing large or heavy caravans/trailers.
The permitted carava n and trailer load app lies up to the specified incline and up to an altitud e of 1000 metres above 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 commenced. The towing weight d oes not have to be reduc ed when driving on roads with slight inclines (less than 8%, e. g. motorways). The actual caravan/trailer load p lus the actual g ross weight of the towing vehicle must not ex ceed the maximum permitted towing weight. For exa mple, if the permitted gross vehicle weight is utilised, the trailer/carav an load must only be used until the ma ximum permitted towing weight is reached . The maximum permitted towing weight is shown on the identification plate, see page 144.

In the ca se of trailers/caravans with brake, attach break away stopping cable to eye at the side on the coupling ba ll bar. Before attaching the trailer/carav an, lubricate the ball of the trailer/caravan towing device. However, do not lubricate the ball if a stabiliser, w hich a cts on the coupling ball, is b eing used to d amp snaking. C heck c aravan/trailer lighting before starting to drive. The fog tail lig hts on the vehicle a re deactivated when towing a carav an or trailer. Trailers with LED turn signals m ust have a provision enables light m onitoring for comm ercial bulbs. Turn signal control indicator see page 19.
Tyre pressure
Increase the tyre pressure on the towing vehicle to the v alue specified for a full load see page 152. Also check the p ressure of the spare wheel and carava n/trailer wheels.
105
Starting o n inclines
The most fav ourable eng ine speed when starting off on a n incline is between 2500 and 3000 rpm for petrol eng ines and between 2000 and 2500 rpm for diesel eng ines. Hold engine rpm constant, ease the clutch out grad ually , release b ra ke and open throttle. If p ossible, the engine speed should not d rop during this procedure. Before starting off under ex treme conditions (high combination weight, mountainous terrain w ith steep inclines), switch off all unnecessary electrical loads (e.g. heated rear window, air conditioning system 3).

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 lev el or the engine oil level) due to risk of injury from liv e c ables and rotating parts.
9 Warning
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.
N ever carry out any repairs or adjustment and m aintenance work on the vehicle y ourself. 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 y ourself and other road users.
132
Engine oil
Information on engine oils is available in the S ervice Booklet. Eng ine oi l level, engine oil consump tion Ev ery engine consumes engine oil for tec hnical reasons. The engine oil consump tion cannot be assessed until a fairly long distance has been driv en, a nd may be a bove the specified value when the vehic le is first b eing driven (run-in period ). Frequent d riv ing at high revs increases engine oil consumption. In vehicles with engine oil lev el check 3, the engine oil level is checked automatically. It is particularly adv isable to check the engine oil level before emb arking on a long journey.
Engine oil l ev el chec k, topping up engine oil The illustrations show chec king and top ping up of various petrol and diesel engines. The oil lev el m ust be check ed with the vehicle on a level surface and with the engine (which m ust be at operating temperature) switched off. Wait at least 5 minutes before c hecking the level to allow the normal engine oil acc um ulation in the engine to drain into the oil pan.
To check the engine oil level, insert wiped oil dipstick into handle as fa r as it will go. Top engine oil up if the level has dropped into the range of the top-up m ark MI N. The engine oil level must not exceed the upper mark MAX on the dipstick. Excess eng ine oil must be drained off or extracted. If the engine oil level is above the M AX ma rk there is a risk of damage to the eng ine or the catalytic converter. The amount filled must be between the MI N and MA X marks see pag e 155.
9 Warning
Do not allow the engine oil level to drop below the m inimum level!
9 Warnin g
It is the owners resp onsibility to ma intain the correct lev el of an appropriate quality oil in the engine.
133
Top up with the sam e b rand of engine oil that was used d uring the prev ious oil change, following the instructions in the Service Booklet. To close, position the ca p and sc rew it into place. Ca pacities see p age 155.
Engine oil change, engine oil filter change Change the oil at the disp la yed service intervals. We rec om mend that you use genuine Vauxhall engine oil filters.
9 Warnin g
We recom mend that you entrust engine oil and filter changes to a Va ux ha ll Authorised Repairer, who will be fa miliar with the requirements of the law as regards disp osal of used oil and can thus help to protect the environment a nd your health.
134
Coolant
During operation the sy stem is pressurized. The tempera ture may therefore rise briefly to over 100 C . The g ly col-based c oolant provides excellent corrosion protection for the heating a nd cooling systems as well as anti-freez e protection d ow n to -28 C . It rem ains in the cooling sy stem throughout the y ear and need not be changed. Certain anti-freezes can lea d to engine dam age. We therefore recommend the use of anti-freez es that have been approved by Vaux hall.
9 Warning
Antifreeze is a d ang er to health; it must therefore be k ept in the original conta iner and out of the reach of children.
Frost and c or rosi on p rotection Before 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 anti-freeze c oncentration checked and a dd anti-freeze if necessary.
135
After topping up with tap or distilled wa ter, have the anti-freeze concentration checked , and anti-freeze added if nec essary . Hav e the cause of the coolant loss remedied.

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 Preserv er.
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.
Paintwork damage
Repair small areas of paint damage such as stone impac ts, scratches etc. imm ediately using an Va ux ha ll touch-up app lic ator or Vauxhall spray and touch-up paint before rust can form. If rust has already formed , have the cause remedied . We recommend that you consult your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. Please also pay attention to surfaces and ed ges beneath the vehicle where which rust m ay have formed unnoticed for some time.
Polishing
Polishing is necessa ry only if the paint has become dull or if solid deposits have become attached to it. Pa intwork polish with silic one form s a protective film , ma king waxing unnec essary . Plastic body parts should not be treated with wax a nd polish. Use Metallic Paintw ork Wa x on vehic les with a metallic-effect paint finish.
142
Exterio r 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 C ar Shamp oo. Do not use any ab ra sive or caustic agents, do not use an ice scraper, and do not clean them dry.
Win dows
When cleaning the hea ted rear window, ma ke sure that the heating element on the insid e of the window is not damaged. Use a soft lint-free cloth or chamois leather in conjunction with Window Cleaner a nd Insect R emover. Vauxhall Cleaning Solvent and Antifreeze is suitable for de-icing windows. For mec ha nical removal of ice, use a comm ercially available sharp-edged ice scraper. Press the scraper firmly against the glass so that no dirt can get under it and scratch the glass.
Seat belts
Alw ays keep seat belts clean and dry. Clea n only with luk ewarm water or C leaner.
143
O n vehicles w hich are washed frequently in automatic c ar washes with underbody washing facility, the protective wax coating may be im paired by dirt-dissolving add itiv es, so check the underb od y after washing and have it wax ed if necessary. Before the sta rt of the cold weather season, check the PVC coating and protectiv e wax coating and, if necessary, ha ve them restored to perfect condition. C aution - c om mercially available bitumen/ rubber materials can damage the PVC coating. We recom mend that y ou ha ve underbody work ca rried out by an Vauxhall Authorised Repairer, who knows the prescribed materials and has experience in the use thereof. The underbody should be washed following the end of the cold weather season to remov e any dirt adhering to the underbody since this may also contain salt. C heck p rotective wax c oa ting and , if nec essary , have it restored to perfec t condition.
Engine co mpartment
Areas of the engine compartment that are painted in the same colour as the vehic le must be looked after lik e any other p ainted surface. It is adv isable to wash the engine compartment before and after winter and preserve it with wax. Cover alternator and brake fluid reserv oir with plastic sheets before washing the eng ine. When washing the engine with a steam-jet cleaner, do not d irect the steam jet at components of the Anti-lock Brak e Sy stem 3 , the automatic air conditioning system 3 or the b elt drive and its components.
Underbody
Your vehicle has a factory-app lied PVC undercoating in the wheel arches (including the longitudinal mem bers) which prov ides permanent protec tion and needs no special maintenance. The surfaces of the vehicle underbody not covered by PVC are provided with a durable p rotective wax coating in critic al areas.
