Power steering fluid
The p ow er steering fluid does not require
any a dditional maintenance than that
detailed in the Service Booklet.
If the fluid in the reservoir falls below the
MIN mark, consult a workshop.
Windscreen wiper
Clear vision is essential for safe driving.
Perform regular checks on the wiper to
ensure it is operating correctly. We
recommend wiper blade repla cement at
least once a year.
If the windscreen is dirty, operate the
windscreen wash system before switching
on the wiper or setting the wiper to
automatic operation with the rain
se nsor 3. This will avoid wiper blade wear.
Do not switch on the windscreen wiper if
the windscreen is dry or obstructed (e.g.
with snow or ice), as this could damage the
glass, the wiper blades, or the wiper
sy ste m.
If the wiper becomes frozen on to the glass,
we recom mend that it be released w ith the
aid of Vauxhall De-icer Spray before
starting the vehicle, to prev ent w iper motor
damage.
Smearing wiper blades can be cleaned with
a soft cloth and Vauxhall Windscreen
Wash Solvent.
Wiper blades whose lips have become
hardened, cracked or covered with silicone
must be replaced. This may be necessary
as a result of the effects of ic e, thawing salt
or heat, or the incorrect use of cleaning
agents.
Switch off the wiper in car washes –
see pages 11 and 188.
