Never allow the eng ine to labour at low revs. Make good use of all gea rs. Depress the accelerator pedal a maximum of around three quarters of the ava ila ble ped al travel in all gears. Do not drive faster than three quarters of max imum speed. Do not brake unnecessarily hard for the first 125 miles (200 km ).
110 Drivin g and Operation Sav e energy – m ore m iles 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. O verrun The fuel supply is autom atically shut off during overrun, e.g. when the vehicle is being driven down long gradients or when braking.
Driving an d Operation Saving Fuel, Protecting the Environment Trend-set ting technology Env ironmenta lly friendly and mainly recy clable materia ls were used when y our vehic le was being developed and manufactured. The production methods used to m ake your vehicle are also 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.
112 Drivin g and Operation O verrun z The fuel supply is automatically shut off during ov errun, e. g. when the vehicle is being driven down long gradients or when braking – see page 110. z To enable the overrun cut-off to come into action and sav e fuel, do not accelerate or d e-clutch during overrun. Corr ect gear sel ec tion 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.
Driving an d Operation Fuels, refu elling Fuel c onsum ption Fuel consump tion is determined und er specific driv ing cond itions – see page 188. Special equipment increases the weight of the v ehicle. As a result, they can increase fuel consump tion and reduce the specified max imum speed. There is increased friction betw een engine and transmission parts during the first 600 miles (1000 kilometres). This increases fuel consum ption.
114 Drivin g and Operation C orrect 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. Mak e sure the noz zle is fully inserted. Pi cture no: 15829t.tif Fuel fi ller cap If replacing the fuel filler cap, be sure to use the original fuel filler cap for y our model to ensure full func tionality.
Driving an d Operation z If y ou experience misfiring, irregular eng ine running after a cold start, a significant loss of engine power or other unusual problems tha t may indica te an ignition sy stem fault, seek assistance from a work shop as soon as possible. If necessa ry , continue driving for a short time at slow sp eeds, keeping the engine rev s low . z If unburned fuel enters the catalytic converter, this m ay result in ov erheating and irrepara ble dama ge to the catalytic converter.
116 Drivin g and Operation Illumination with the engine running indicates a fa ult tha t can cause d amage to the catalytic converter.

118 Drivin g and Operation Diesel p artic le fi lter 3 The d iesel pa rticle filter system removes polluting soot particles out of the engine exhaust ga ses. The system includes a selfcleaning function tha t operates automatically while driving. The filter is cleaned by burning the trapped soot particles at a high temperature. There ma y be an increase in fuel consumption, exhaust smell, and engine cooling fan opera tion 3 during the self-clea ning opera tion.

120 Drivin g and Operation Brake system The b ra kes are an important factor for traffic sa fety. To improve effectiveness, do not b ra ke unnecessarily hard for the first 125 miles (200 km) after new brake pads have been fitted. Brake pad wear must not exceed a specified limit. Regular maintenance as detailed in the Service Book let is therefore of the utm ost importance for traffic safety. Have worn brake pads replaced by a workshop.
Driving an d Operation Footbrak e The footbrake comprises tw o independent brake circuits. If a brak e circ uit fails, the vehicle can still b e braked using the other b ra ke circ uit. However, the brak e pedal m ust be depressed a considera ble w ay before any braking effect occurs, and m uch more force is required. The braking distance w ill be long er. C onta ct a workshop for assistance before continuing to drive.
122 Drivin g and Operation Anti-loc k Brake System (ABS u ) 3 The ABS continually monitors the brake sy stem and prevents the wheels from lock ing , reg ardless of the road conditions and tyre grip. It starts to regulate the brak ing pressure as soon as a wheel shows a tendency to loc k. The vehic le remains steerable, even in the event of very heav y braking, for instance on b ends or when swerv ing to avoid a n ob stacle.
Driving an d Operation Self testing After every ignition sequence and sta rting of the engine, y ou may hear the sy stem carrying out self testing once you have moved off and are moving a t a speed of greater than approx . 1.9 mph (3 km/h). Fault Wheels, tyres See pag e 193 for suitable ty res and restrictions. Ty res fitted in the factory are adapted to the chassis and provid e optimum driving comfort and sa fety.
124 Drivin g and Operation 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 The use of wheel trims and tyres tha t Vauxhall has approved for the vehicle and therefore fulfill all requirements for the relevant combination of wheels and ty res. z If the wheel trims and tyres used are not Vauxhall-approved, the tyres m ust not hav e a bea ded edge.
Driving an d Operation 125 Exa mine tyres for damage at regular intervals (penetration by foreign bodies, punctures, cuts, tears, b ulges in side walls). Exa mine wheels for damage.

Driving an d Operation Winter tyres 3 For notes on fitting new tyres – see page 123. Wheel trim on steel wheels could come into contact with parts of the cha in and be dam aged . Remove the wheel trim – see page 142. See page 193 for restric tions. Tyre cha ins may only be used at sp eeds up to 30 mph (50 km/h) and, when trav elling 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.
128 Drivin g and Operation Roo f racks 3 9 Warning Disreg ard of these notes ca n lead to injuries which may be fatal. Vehicle passengers should be informed according ly . For safety reasons and to avoid roof dam age we recommend using the Vauxhall roof rac k system that is approved for your vehicle. Remove the covers from the roof rack mounting apertures. Fasten the roof rack following the instructions that ac company the sy stem. Driving hints – see page 109.
Driving an d Operation The permissible cara van/trailer load should be fully utilised only by drivers who are adequately experienced in towing large or heav y carav ans/trailers. The permitted carav an/trailer load ap plies up to the specified incline and up to an altitude of 1000 m etres abov e sea -level.
130 Drivin g and Operation Carava ns/trailers w ith LED turn signals must hav e a provision that mak es it possible to monitor standard light bulbs. Mak e sure that y ou ha ve enoug h room when cornering and avoid sudden ma noeuv res. Turn signa l control indicator - see page 68. If the trailer/caravan starts to sway , drive more slowly , do not attem pt to correct the steering and brake sha rp ly if necessary . Handling is greatly influenced by the loa ding of the trailer/caravan.
Driving an d Operation When driving downhill, towing a caravan/ trailer subjects the brakes to a heavier load than norm al. For this reason, select the same gear as when driving uphill and drive at a similar speed. Ea sy tronic 3 in autom atic mode will automatically select the driving programme with optimum engine b ra king effect. The cooling fan is electrically operated. Its cooling power is therefore independent of the engine speed.
