If handled improperly the airbag systems can be triggered in an explosive manner.
Note
The airbag systems and belt pretensioner control electronics are located in the centre console area.
Do not put any magnetic objects in this area.
Do not stick anything on the airbag covers and do not cover them with other materials.
Each airbag is triggered only once.
Have deployed airbags replaced by a workshop. Furthermore, it might be necessary to have the steering wheel, the instrument panel, parts of the panelling, the door seals, handles and the seats replaced.
Do not make any modifications to the airbag system as this will invalidate the vehicle type approval.
When the airbags inflate, escaping hot gases may cause burns.

Child restraints
Child restraint systems
We recommend the Vauxhall child restraint system which is tailored specifically to the vehicle.
When a child restraint system is being used, pay attention to the following usage and installation instructions and also those supplied with the child restraint system.
Always comply with local or national regulations. In some countries, the use of child restraint systems is forbidden on certain seats.
9
Warning
When using a child restraint system on the front passenger seat, the airbag systems for the front passenger seat must be deactivated; if not, the triggering of the airbags poses a risk of fatal injury to the child.
This is especially the case if rearfacing child restraint systems are used on the front passenger seat.
Airbag deactivation
Selecting the right system
The rear seats are the most convenient location to fasten a child restraint system.
Children should travel facing rearwards in the vehicle as long as possible. This makes sure that the child's backbone, which is still very weak, is under less strain in the event of an accident.
Suitable are restraint systems that comply with ECE 44-03 or
ECE 44-04. Check local laws and regulations for mandatory use of child restraint systems.
Ensure that the child restraint system to be installed is compatible with the vehicle type.
Ensure that the mounting location of the child restraint system within the vehicle is correct.
46 Seats, restraints
Allow children to enter and exit the vehicle only on the side facing away from the traffic.
When the child restraint system is not in use, secure the seat with a seat belt or remove it from the vehicle.
Note
Do not stick anything on the child restraint systems and do not cover them with any other materials.
A child restraint system which has been subjected to stress in an accident must be replaced.

■ The payload is the difference between the permitted gross vehicle weight (see identification plate
weight.
To calculate the payload weight, enter the data for your vehicle in the
Weights table at the front of this manual.
The EC kerb weight includes weights for the driver (68 kg), luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (tank
90 % full).
Optional equipment and accessories increase the kerb weight.
■ Driving with a roof load increases the sensitivity of the vehicle to cross-winds and has a detrimental effect on vehicle handling due to the vehicle’s higher centre of gravity. Distribute the load evenly and secure it properly with retaining straps. Adjust the tyre pressure and vehicle speed according to the load conditions. Check and retighten the straps frequently.
Do not drive faster than 75 mph.
The permissible roof load is 75 kg.

Driving hints
Control of the vehicle
Never coast with engine not running (except during an
Autostop)
Many systems will not function in this situation (e.g. brake servo unit, power steering). Driving in this manner is a danger to yourself and others. All systems function during an Autostop, but there will be a controlled reduction in power steering assist and vehicle speed is reduced.
Stop-start system
Pedals
To ensure the pedal travel is uninhibited, there must be no mats in the area of the pedals.
Driving and operating 111
Starting and operating
New vehicle running-in
Do not brake unnecessarily hard for the first few journeys.
During the first drive, smoke may occur 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.
During the running-in period fuel and engine oil consumption may be higher and the cleaning process of the diesel particle filter may take place more often. Autostop may be inhibited to allow for charging the battery.

Starting the vehicle at low temperatures
The start of the engine without additional heaters is possible down to
-25 °С for diesel engines and -30 °C for petrol engines. Required is an engine oil with the correct viscosity, the correct fuel, performed services and a sufficiently charged battery.
With temperatures below -30 °C the automatic transmission need a warming phase of approx. 5 minutes.
The selector lever must be in position
P.
Turbo engine warm-up
Upon start-up, engine available torque may be limited for a short time, especially when the engine temperature is cold. The limitation is to allow the lubrication system to fully protect the engine.
Driving and operating 113
Overrun cut-off
The fuel supply is automatically cut off during overrun, i.e. when the vehicle is driven with a gear engaged but accelerator is released. Overrun cutoff is deactivated if catalytic converter temperature is high.
Stop-start system
The stop-start system helps to save fuel and to reduce the exhaust emissions. When conditions allow, it switches off the engine as soon as the vehicle is at a low speed or at a standstill, e.g. at a traffic light or in a traffic jam. It starts the engine automatically as soon as the clutch is depressed. A battery sensor ensures that an Autostop is only performed if the battery is sufficiently charged for a restart.
Activation
The stop-start system is available as soon as the engine is started, the vehicle starts-off and the conditions as stated below in this section are fulfilled.
Deactivation
Deactivate the stop-start system manually by pressing the eco button.
The deactivation is indicated by the
LED in the button going off.
Autostop
If the vehicle is at a low speed or at a standstill, activate an Autostop as follows:
■ Depress the clutch pedal
■ shift the selector lever to neutral
■ release the clutch pedal
The engine will be switched off while the ignition stays on.
An Autostop is indicated by the needle at the AUTOSTOP position in the tachometer.
During an Autostop, the heating performance, power steering and brake performance will be maintained.
Conditions for an Autostop
The stop-start system checks if each of the following conditions is fulfilled.
■ The stop-start system is not manually deactivated
■ the bonnet is fully closed
■ the driver's door is closed or the driver's seat belt is fastened
114 Driving and operating
■ the battery is sufficiently charged and in good condition
■ the engine is warmed up
■ the engine coolant temperature is not too high
■ the engine exhaust temperature is not too high, e.g. after driving with high engine load
■ the ambient temperature is not too low
■ the defrosting function is not activated
■ the climate control system allows an Autostop
■ the brake vacuum is sufficient
■ the self-cleaning function of the diesel particle filter is not active
■ the vehicle has moved since the last Autostop
Otherwise an Autostop will be inhibited.
An Autostop may become less available as the ambient temperature approaches the freezing point.
Certain settings of the climate control system may inhibit an Autostop. See climate control chapter for more details.
Immediately after motorway driving an Autostop may be inhibited.
Battery discharge protection
To ensure reliable engine restarts, several battery discharge protection features are implemented as part of the stop-start system.

Danger
Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide, which is colourless and odourless and could be fatal if inhaled.
If exhaust gases enter the interior of the vehicle, open the windows.
Have the cause of the fault rectified by a workshop.
Avoid driving with an open load compartment, otherwise exhaust gases could enter the vehicle.
Diesel particle filter
The diesel particle filter system filters harmful soot particles out of the exhaust gases. The system includes a self-cleaning function that runs automatically during driving. The filter is cleaned by burning off the soot particles at high temperature. This process takes place automatically under set driving conditions and may take up to 25 minutes. Fuel
116 Driving and operating

Caution
Towing the vehicle and starting the engine is not permitted when the clutch has been disengaged in this way, although the vehicle can be moved a short distance.
Seek the immediate assistance of a workshop.
Brakes
The brake system comprises two independent brake circuits.
If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can still be braked using the other brake circuit. However, braking effect is achieved only when you depress the brake pedal firmly. You need to use considerably more force for this. The braking distance is extended. Seek the assistance of a workshop before continuing your journey.
When the engine is not running, the support of the brake servo unit disappears once the brake pedal has been depressed once or twice.
Braking effect is not reduced, but braking requires significantly greater force. It is especially important to bear this in mind when being towed.
Control indicator R
Antilock brake system
Antilock brake system (ABS) prevents the wheels from locking.
Driving and operating 125
ABS starts to regulate brake pressure as soon as a wheel shows a tendency to lock. The vehicle remains steerable, even during hard braking.
ABS control is made apparent 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 braking process, despite the fact that the pedal is pulsating. Do not reduce the pressure on the pedal.
After starting off the system performs a self-test which may be audible.

Warning
Under certain circumstances, various reflective surfaces on objects or clothing as well as external noise sources may cause the system to fail to detect obstacles.
Special attention must be paid to low obstacles which can damage the lower part of the bumper.
130 Driving and operating
Caution
Performance of the sensors can be reduced when sensors are covered, e.g. by ice or snow.
Performance of the parking assist systems can be reduced due to heavy loading.
Special conditions apply if there are taller vehicles involved (e.g.
off-road vehicles, mini vans, vans). Object identification in the upper part of these vehicles cannot be guaranteed.
Objects with a very small reflection cross-section, e.g. objects of narrow size or soft materials, may not be detected by the system.
Parking assist will not avoid a collision with objects which are out of the detection range of the sensors.
Note
The parking assist system automatically detects factory-fitted towing equipment. It is deactivated when the connector is plugged in.
The sensor may detect a nonexistent object (echo disturbance) caused by external acoustic or mechanical disturbances.
Note
The parking assist is deactivated when the rear carrier system is extended.
Fuel
Fuel for petrol engines
Only use unleaded fuel that complies with European standard EN 228 or
E DIN 51626-1 or equivalent.
Your engine is capable of running with E10 fuel that fulfills these standards. E10 fuel contains up to
10 % bioethanol.
Use fuel with the recommended
too low an octane rating can reduce engine power and torque and slightly increases fuel consumption.
Caution
Do not use fuel or fuel additives that contain metallic compounds such as manganese-based additives. This may cause engine damage.
Caution
Use of fuel that does not comply to
EN 228 or E DIN 51626-1 or equivalent can lead to deposits or engine damage and may affect your warranty.
Caution
Use of fuel with too low an octane rating could lead to uncontrolled combustion and engine damage.
Fuel for diesel engines
Only use diesel fuel that complies with EN 590.
In countries outside the European
Union use Euro-Diesel fuel with a sulfur concentration below 50 ppm.
Caution
Use of fuel that does not comply to
EN 590 or similar can lead to engine powerloss, increased wear or engine damage and may affect your warranty.
Do not use marine diesel oils, heating oils, Aquazole and similar dieselwater emulsions. Diesel fuels must not be diluted with fuels for petrol engines.
Fuel for liquid gas operation
Liquid gas is known as LPG
(Liquefied Petroleum Gas) or under its French name GPL (Gaz de Pétrole
Liquéfié). LPG is also known as
Autogas.
LPG consists mainly of propane and butane. The octane rating is between
105 and 115, depending on the butane proportion. LPG is stored liquid at around 5 - 10 bar pressure.
Driving and operating 131
The boiling point depends on the pressure and mixing ratio. At ambient pressure, it is between -42 °C (pure propane) and -0.5 °C (pure butane).
Caution
The system works at an ambient temperature of approx. -8 °C to
100 °C.
Full function of the LPG system can only be guaranteed with liquid gas which complies with the minimum requirements of DIN EN 589.
Fuel selector
132 Driving and operating
Pressing the LPG button switches between petrol and liquid gas operation as soon as the required parameters (coolant temperature, gas temperature and minimum engine speed) have been reached.
The requirements are usually fulfilled after approx. 60 seconds (depending on exterior temperature) and the first firm press on the accelerator. The
LED status shows the current operating mode.

Fill the tank completely at regular intervals to prevent corrosion in the tank.
Faults and remedies
If gas mode is not possible, check the following:
■ Is there enough liquid gas present?
■ Is there enough petrol present for starting?
Due to extreme temperatures in combination with the gas composition, it may take slightly longer before the system switches from petrol to liquid gas mode.
In extreme situations, the system may also switch back to petrol mode if the minimum requirements are not fulfilled.
Seek the assistance of a workshop in the event of all other faults.
Caution
Repairs and adjustments may only be made by trained specialists in order to maintain the safety and warranty on the LPG system.
Liquid gas is given a particular odour
(odorised) so that any leaks can be detected easily.
9
Warning
If you smell gas in the vehicle or in the immediate vicinity, switch to petrol mode immediately. No smoking. No naked flames or ignition sources.
If possible, close the manual shut-off valve on the multivalve. The multivalve is located on the liquid gas tank in the load compartment, underneath the rear floor cover.
Refuelling
Turn the thumb wheel clockwise.
If no further gas odour is perceptible when the manual shut-off valve is closed, the vehicle can be used in petrol mode. If the gas odour persists, do not start the engine. Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop.
When using underground car parks, follow the instructions of the operator and local laws.
Note
In the event of an accident, switch off the ignition and lights. Close the manual shut-off valve on multivalve.
9
Danger
Before refuelling, switch off engine and any external heaters with combustion chambers (identified by sticker on fuel filler flap). Switch off any mobile phones.
Follow the operating and safety instructions of the filling station when refuelling.

Towing
General information
Only use towing equipment that has been approved for your vehicle.
Entrust retrofitting of towing equipment to a workshop. It may be necessary to make changes that affect the cooling system, heat shields or other equipment.
Fitting of towing equipment could cover the opening of the towing eye.
If this is the case use the coupling ball bar for towing. Always keep the coupling ball bar in the vehicle.
Driving characteristics and towing tips
Before attaching a trailer, lubricate the coupling ball. However, do not do so if a stabiliser, which acts on the coupling ball, is being used to reduce snaking movements.
For trailers with low driving stability and caravan trailers with a permitted gross vehicle weight of more than
1000 kg a speed of 50 mph must not be exceeded; the use of a stabiliser is recommended.
If the trailer starts snaking, drive more slowly, do not attempt to correct the steering and brake sharply if necessary.
When driving downhill, drive in the same gear as if driving uphill and drive at a similar speed.
Adjust tyre pressure to the value specified for full load
Trailer towing
Trailer loads
The permissible trailer loads are vehicle and engine-dependent maximum values which must not be exceeded. The actual trailer load is the difference between the actual gross weight of the trailer and the actual coupling socket load with the trailer coupled.
Driving and operating 137
The permissible trailer loads are specified in the vehicle documents. In general, they are valid for gradients up to max. 12 %
The permitted trailer loads apply up to the specified incline and up to an altitude of 1000 metres above sea level. Since engine power decreases as altitude increases due to the air becoming thinner, therefore reducing climbing ability, the permissible gross train weight also decreases by 10 % for every 1000 metres of additional altitude. The gross train weight does not have to be reduced when driving on roads with slight inclines (less than
8 %, e.g. motorways).
The permissible gross train weight must not be exceeded. This weight is specified on the identification plate
Vertical coupling load
The vertical coupling load is the load exerted by the trailer on the coupling ball. It can be varied by changing the weight distribution when loading the trailer.
138 Driving and operating
The maximum permissible vertical coupling load (vehicles with 1.2
engine: 45 kg, other engines: 55 kg) is specified on the towing equipment identification plate and in the vehicle documents. Always aim for the maximum load, especially in the case of heavy trailers. The vertical coupling load should never fall below 25 kg.
Rear axle load
When the trailer is coupled and the towing vehicle fully loaded, the permissible rear axle load (see identification plate or vehicle documents) for passenger vehicles may be exceeded by 45 kg and the gross vehicle weight rating by 50 kg
(on vehicles with 1.2 engine and specific rear axle application: 30 kg).
For vans the permitted rear axle load may be exceeded by 25 kg. The permitted total load may be exceeded by the following amounts with the engines specified below:
A10XEP
A12XEL, A12XER,
Z12XEP
= 30 kg
= 25 kg
Z13DTH, A13DTR
Z13DTJ, Z13DTE,
A13DTE, A13DTC
= 40 kg
= 35 kg
Trailer operation is not permitted for vans with tyre size 215/45 R 17.
If the permitted rear axle load is exceeded a maximum speed of
60 mph applies. If lower national maximum speeds are specified for trailer operation, they must be complied with.

Wheels and tyres
Tyre condition, wheel condition
Drive over edges slowly and at right angles if possible. Driving over sharp edges can cause tyre and wheel damage. Do not trap tyres on the kerb when parking.
Regularly check the wheels for damage. Seek the assistance of a workshop in the event of damage or unusual wear.
Tyres
Tyres of size 185/60 R 15 are only approved as winter tyres.
Tyres of size 185/65 R 15 are only approved as winter tyres on vehicles with a sports chassis. We recommend that you contact a workshop in order to find out whether your vehicle is equipped with a sports chassis.
1)
Winter tyres
Winter tyres improve driving safety at temperatures below 7 °C and should therefore be fitted on all wheels.
Tyres of size 185/60 R 15,
185/65 R 15, 185/70 R 14,
195/55 R 16 and
205/50 R 16 are permitted as winter tyres.
Tyres of size 195/60 R 15,
215/45 R 17 1) and 225/35 R 18 must not be used as winter tyres.
Run-flat winter tyres may only be used on factory approved alloy wheels.
In accordance with country-specific regulations, affix the speed sticker in the driver's field of view.

185 = Tyre width, mm
65 = Cross-section ratio (tyre height to tyre width), %
R = Belt type: Radial
Corsa VXR: Permitted as winter tyres without tyre chains.
Vehicle care 169
RF = Type: RunFlat
15 = Wheel diameter, inches
88 = Load index e.g. 88 is equivalent to 567 kg
T = Speed code letter
Speed code letter:
Q = up to 100 mph
S = up to 112 mph
T = up to 118 mph
H = up to 130 mph
V = up to 150 mph
W = up to 168 mph
Tyre pressure
Check the pressure of cold tyres at least every 14 days and before any long journey. Do not forget the spare wheel. This also applies to vehicles with tyre deflation detection system.
Remove the valve cap key from the fuel filler flap and use it to unscrew the valve cap.
170 Vehicle care
on the inside of the fuel filler flap or on the front right door frame.
The tyre pressure data refers to cold tyres. It applies to summer and winter tyres.
Always inflate the spare tyre to the pressure specified for full load.
The ECO tyre pressure serves to achieve the smallest amount of fuel consumption possible.
Incorrect tyre pressures will impair safety, vehicle handling, comfort and fuel economy and will increase tyre wear.
9
Warning
If the pressure is too low, this can result in considerable tyre warmup and internal damage, leading to tread separation and even to tyre blow-out at high speeds.
Tyre deflation detection system
The tyre deflation detection system continually checks the rotation speed of all four tyres.
If a tyre loses pressure the control indicator w illuminates red. Stop immediately and check tyre pressure.
Control indicator w
System initialisation
After tyre pressure correction or wheel change, the system must be initiated: Switch on the ignition, press and hold the DDS button for approx.
4 seconds, control indicator w flashes three times.
Tread depth
Check tread depth at regular intervals.
Tyres should be replaced for safety reasons at a tread depth of 2-3 mm
(4 mm for winter tyres).
For safety reasons it is recommended that the tread depth of the wheels on one axle should not vary by more than
2 mm.
The legally permissible minimum tread depth (1.6 mm) has been reached when the tread has worn down as far as one of the tread wear indicators (TWI). Their position is indicated by markings on the sidewall.
If there is more wear at the front than the rear, swap round front wheels and rear wheels periodically. Ensure that the direction of rotation of the wheels remains the same.
Tyres age, even if they are not used.
We recommend tyre replacement every 6 years.
Changing tyre and wheel size
If tyres of a different size than those fitted at the factory are used, it may be necessary to reprogramme the speedometer and make other vehicle modifications.
After converting to a different tyre size, have the label with tyre pressures replaced.
9
Warning
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheels may lead to accidents and will invalidate the vehicle type approval.
Vehicle care 171
Wheel covers
Wheel covers and tyres that are factory approved for the respective vehicle and comply with all of the relevant wheel and tyre combination requirements must be used.
If the wheel covers and tyres used are not factory approved, the tyres must not have a rim protection ridge.
Wheel covers must not impair brake cooling.
9
Warning
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel covers could lead to sudden pressure loss and thereby accidents.
172 Vehicle care
Tyre chains
Tyre chains are only permitted on the front wheels.
Always use fine mesh chains that add no more than 10 mm to the tyre tread and the inboard sides (including chain lock).

Spare wheel
Some vehicles are equipped with a tyre repair kit instead of a spare wheel.
Vehicle care 177
The spare wheel can be classified as a temporary spare wheel depending on the size compared to the other mounted wheels and country regulations.
The spare wheel has a steel rim.
Use of a spare wheel that is smaller than the other wheels or together with winter tyres could affect driveability.
Have the defective tyre replaced as soon as possible.
The spare wheel is located in the load compartment beneath the floor covering. It is secured with a wing nut.
178 Vehicle care
In the Corsa van the spare wheel is screwed down together with the floor cover. To lift the cover, undo the plastic nut. There is a spacer between the spare wheel and the floor cover.
The spare wheel well is not designed for all permitted tyre sizes. If a wheel wider than the spare must be stowed in the spare wheel well after changing wheels, the floor cover will be resting against the protruding wheel. In vans the spacer can be omitted if necessary, or the wheel can be bolted down without the floor cover.
Fitting a double load-bay floor in this case in the upper position
To remove, lift spare wheel, move to a vertical position and remove from above.
Temporary spare wheel
Use of the temporary spare wheel could affect driveability. Have the defective tyre renewed or repaired as soon as possible.
Only mount one temporary spare wheel. Do not drive faster than
50 mph. Take curves slowly. Do not use for a long period of time.
If your vehicle gets a flat tyre on the rear while towing another vehicle, mount the temporary spare wheel in the front and the full tyre in the rear.
Tyre chains
Directional tyres
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.
The following applies to tyres fitted opposing the rolling direction:
■ Driveability may be affected. Have the defective tyre renewed or repaired as soon as possible.
■ Drive particularly carefully on wet and snow-covered road surfaces.

Excessive tractive force can damage the vehicle.
After towing, unscrew the towing eye and refit the cover.
Appearance care
Exterior care
Locks
The locks are lubricated at the factory using a high quality lock cylinder grease. Use de-icing agent only when absolutely necessary, as this has a degreasing effect and impairs lock function. After using de-icing agent, have the locks regreased by a workshop.
Washing
The paintwork of your vehicle is exposed to environmental influences.
Wash and wax your vehicle regularly.
When using automatic car washes, select a programme that includes waxing.
Bird droppings, dead insects, resin, pollen and the like should be cleaned off immediately, as they contain aggressive constituents which can cause paint damage.
If using a car wash, comply with the car wash manufacturer's instructions.
The windscreen wipers and rear window wiper must be switched off.
Remove antenna and external accessories such as roof racks etc.
If you wash your vehicle by hand, make sure that the insides of the wheel housings are also thoroughly rinsed out.
Clean edges and folds on opened doors and the bonnet as well as the areas they cover.
Caution
Always use a cleaning agent with a pH value of 4 to 9.
Do not use cleaning agents on hot surfaces.
Have the door hinges of all doors greased by a workshop.
Do not clean the engine compartment with a steam-jet or high-pressure jet cleaner.
Thoroughly rinse and leather-off the vehicle. Rinse leather frequently. Use separate leathers for painted and glass surfaces: remnants of wax on the windows will impair vision.
Exterior lights
Headlight and other light covers are made of plastic. Do not use any abrasive or caustic agents, do not use an ice scraper, and do not clean them dry.
Polishing and waxing
Wax the vehicle regularly (at the latest when water no longer beads).
Otherwise, the paintwork will dry out.
Polishing is necessary only if the paint has become dull or if solid deposits have become attached to it.
Paintwork polish with silicone forms a protective film, making waxing unnecessary.
Plastic body parts must not be treated with wax or polishing agents.
Vehicle care 183
Windows and windscreen wiper blades
Use a soft lint-free cloth or chamois leather together with window cleaner and insect remover.
When cleaning the rear window, make sure the heating element inside is not damaged.
For mechanical removal of ice, use a sharp-edged ice scraper. Press the scraper firmly against the glass so that no dirt can get under it and scratch the glass.
Clean smearing wiper blades with a soft cloth and window cleaner.
Sunroof
Never clean with solvents or abrasive agents, fuels, aggressive media (e.g.
paint cleaner, acetone-containing solutions etc.), acidic or highly alkaline media or abrasive pads. Do not apply wax or polishing agents to the sunroof.
Wheels and tyres
Do not use high-pressure jet cleaners.
184 Vehicle care
Clean rims with a pH-neutral wheel cleaner.
Rims are painted and can be treated with the same agents as the body.
Paintwork damage
Rectify minor paintwork damage with a touch-up pen before rust forms.
Have more extensive damage or rust areas repaired by a workshop.
Underbody
Some areas of the vehicle underbody have a PVC undercoating while other critical areas have a durable protective wax coating.
After the underbody is washed, check the underbody and have it waxed if necessary.
Bitumen/rubber materials could damage the PVC coating. Have underbody work carried out by a workshop.
Before and after winter, wash the underbody and have the protective wax coating checked.
Liquid gas system
9
Danger
Liquid gas is heavier than air and can collect in sink points.
Take care when performing work at the underbody in a pit.
For painting work and when using a drying booth at a temperature above
60 °C, the liquid gas tank must be removed.
Do not make any modifications to the liquid gas system.
Towing equipment
Do not clean the coupling ball bar with a steam-jet or high-pressure jet cleaner.
Rear carrier system
Clean the rear carrier system with a steam-jet or high-pressure jet cleaner at least once a year.
Operate the rear carrier system periodically if not in regular use, in particular during winter.
Interior care
Interior and upholstery
Only clean the vehicle interior, including the instrument panel fascia and panelling, with a dry cloth or interior cleaner.
Clean the leather upholstery with clear water and a soft cloth. In case of heavy soiling, use leather care.
The instrument cluster and the displays should only be cleaned using a soft damp cloth.
Clean fabric upholstery with a vacuum cleaner and brush. Remove stains with an upholstery cleaner.
Clothing fabrics may not be colourfast. This could cause visible discolourations, especially on lightcoloured upholstery. Removable stains and discolourations should be cleaned as soon as possible.
Clean seat belts with lukewarm water or interior cleaner.
Caution
Close Velcro fasteners as open
Velcro fasteners on clothing could damage seat upholstery.
The same applies to clothing with sharp-edged objects, like zips or belts or studded jeans.
Plastic and rubber parts
Plastic and rubber parts can be cleaned with the same cleaner as used to clean the body. Use interior cleaner if necessary. Do not use any other agent. Avoid solvents and petrol in particular. Do not use highpressure jet cleaners.

aging control, whereas viscosity grade gives information on the oil's thickness over a temperature range.
Dexos is the newest engine oil quality that provides optimum protection for gasoline and diesel engines. If it is unavailable, engine oils of other listed qualities have to be used.
Recommendations for gasoline engines are also valid for
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG),
Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) and
Ethanol (E85) fuelled engines.
Select the appropriate engine oil based on its quality and on the minimum ambient temperature
Topping up engine oil
Engine oils of different manufacturers and brands can be mixed as long as they comply with the required engine oil quality and viscosity.
Use of engine oil with only
ACEA A1/B1 or only A5/B5 quality is prohibited, since it can cause longterm engine damage under certain operating conditions.
Select the appropriate engine oil based on its quality and on the minimum ambient temperature
Additional engine oil additives
The use of additional engine oil additives could cause damage and invalidate the warranty.
Engine oil viscosity grades
The SAE viscosity grade gives information of the thickness of the oil.
Multigrade oil is indicated by two figures, e.g. SAE 5W-30. The first figure, followed by a W, indicates the low temperature viscosity and the second figure the high temperature viscosity.
Select the appropriate viscosity grade depending on the minimum ambient temperature
All of the recommended viscosity grades are suitable for high ambient temperatures.
Coolant and antifreeze
Use only silicate-free long life coolant
(LLC) antifreeze.
The system is factory filled with coolant designed for excellent corrosion protection and frost protection down to approx. -28 °C.
This concentration should be maintained all year round. The use of additional coolant additives that intend to give additional corrosion protection or seal against minor leaks can cause function problems. Liability for consequences resulting from the use of additional coolant additives will be rejected.
Brake and clutch fluid
Only use high-performance brake fluid approved for the vehicle, consult a workshop.
Over time, brake fluid absorbs moisture which will reduce braking effectiveness. The brake fluid should therefore be replaced at the specified interval.
Brake fluid should be stored in a sealed container to avoid water absorption.
Ensure brake fluid does not become contaminated.

Vehicle data recording and privacy
Event data recorders
Data storage modules in the vehicle
A large number of electronic components of your vehicle contain data storage modules temporarily or permanently storing technical data about the condition of the vehicle, events and errors. In general, this technical information documents the condition of parts, modules, systems or the environment:
■ Operating conditions of system components (e.g. filling levels)
■ Status messages of the vehicle and its single components (e.g. number of wheel revolutions / rotational speed, deceleration, lateral acceleration)
■ Dysfunctions and defects in important system components
Customer information 219
■ Vehicle reactions in particular driving situations (e.g. inflation of an airbag, activation of the stability regulation system)
■ Environmental conditions (e.g.
temperature)
These data are exclusively technical and help identifying and correcting errors as well as optimizing vehicle functions.
Motion profiles indicating travelled routes cannot be created with these data.
If services are used (e.g. repair works, service processes, warranty cases, quality assurance), employees of the service network
(manufacturer included) are able to read out this technical information from the event and error data storage modules applying special diagnostic devices. If required, you will receive further information at these workshops. After an error has been corrected, the data are deleted from the error storage module or they are constantly overwritten.
220 Customer information
When using the vehicle, situations may occur in which these technical data related to other information
(accident report, damages on the vehicle, witness statements etc.) may be associated with a specific person possibly, with the assistance of an expert.
Additional functions contractually agreed upon with the client (e.g.
vehicle location in emergency cases) allow the transmission of particular vehicle data from the vehicle.
Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID)
RFID technology is used in some vehicles for functions such as tyre deflation detection and ignition system security. It is also used in connection with conveniences such as radio remote controls for door locking/unlocking and starting, and invehicle transmitters for garage door openers. RFID technology in
Vauxhall vehicles does not use or record personal information or link with any other Vauxhall system containing personal information.
