Fault
If the central locking system cannot be
operated with the remote control, it m ay be
due to the following:
z The range of the remote control has
been ex ceeded .
z The battery voltage of the remote
control unit is too low . Change the
battery in the remote control unit.
z The rem ote control has been operated
frequently in succession outside the
vehicle's reception range (e.g . at too
great a dista nce from the vehicle).
Resynchronize the remote control.
z If the central locking system is
overloaded as a result of repeated
operation at short intervals, the power
supply is cut off for app rox . 30 seconds.
z Interferenc e from higher-power radio
waves from other sources.

Notes on loading the vehicle
z Heav y objec ts in the lug gage/load
com partment should be placed as far
forward as p ossible against the rear seat
backrests or, if the rear seat backrests
are folded down, ag ainst the front seat
backrests. If objects are to be stacked,
the heav ier objects should be placed at
the bottom. Unsecured objects in the
lugga ge/load compartm ent would be
thrown forward with great force, for
instance in the ev ent of heav y brak ing.
z Secure heav y objec ts with lashing
straps 3 attached to la shing ey es 3, see
page 64. I f heavy loads slip when the
vehicle is braked heavily or driven
around a bend, the handling of the
vehicle may chang e.
66
z C om bo: If objects are transported in the
load c om partment, the split lug gage
compa rtm ent grille 3 must always be
locked in one of the retainers and the
lever m ust be enga ged at its bottom
position see page 64.
z If objects are being transp orted in the
luggage/load compartment, the rear
seat backrests must be locked in position
see p ages 59, 61.
z Do not a llow the load to protrude ab ov e
the upp er edge of the rear seat
back rests, or above the upper ed ge of
the front seat b ackrests if the rear seat
back rests a re folded down.
z The warning triangle 3 and first-aid kit 3
must alway s b e freely a ccessib le.
z Do not place any objects in front of the
rea r window or on the instrument pa nel.
They are reflected in the glass, obstruct
the driver's view and will b e thrown
through the vehicle, for insta nce in the
event of heavy b ra king.
z C om bo: when stowing objects in the
stow age compartment above the front
seats, sec ure against falling out.
z No objects must be placed in the area in
which the airbags inflate, as they could
cause injury when the airbags are
trig gered.
z Bulk y objects should not be transported
with the tailgate open or ajar, otherw ise
poisonous exhaust fumes may enter the
vehicle.
z Weights, payload and roof lugg age

Vauxhall Full Size airbag s yste m
The Vauxhall Full Size airbag system
comprises several individual systems.
Front airb ag system
The front airbag system will be triggered in
the event of a serious ac cident involving a
frontal impact and forms safety cushions
for the driver and front passenger 3. The
forward movement of the driver and front
passenger is checked and the risk of
injuries to the upper body a nd head
thereby substantially reduced.
Side airb ag system 3
The side a irb ag system is triggered in the
event of side-on collisions and forms safety
cushions for the driver and front passenger
in the respective front door area. The risk of
injury to the upper body in the event of a
side impac t is thereby substantially
reduced.
Head airbag system 3
The head airbag system is triggered in the
event of side-on collisions and forms a
safety cushion in the head area on the side
of the vehicle affected. The risk of injury to
the head in the ev ent of a side impact is
thereby substantially reduced.

76

Vauxhall Full Size airbag s yste m
Front airb ag
The front airbag system is identified by the
word AI RBAG on the steering wheel and
above the glov e c om partment 3.
The front airbag system comprises:
z an airbag with inflator in the steering
wheel and a second one in the
instrum ent panel 3,
z the control elec tronics with impact
sensor,
z the a irba g system s control indicator v in
the instrument panel,
z seat occ upa ncy rec og nition 3,
z the control indicator for Va ux ha ll child
restraint systems y with transponders 3
in the courtesy lamp.
The front airb ag system will be trigg ered :
z depending on the severity of the
accident,
z depending on the type of impact,
z within the range shown in the illustration,
z indep endently of the side airb ag
system 3 and hea d airbag sy stem 3.
Exception:
Front p assengers seat with seat
occupancy recognition system 3. The seat

the passenger seat is unoccupied or a
Vauxhall child restraint system with
transponders 3 has been fitted to the
passenger s seat. Seat occupancy
recognition, see pag e 82. Vauxhall child
restraint system w ith transponders 3, see
pag e 92.
Examples of events triggering the front
airbag sy stem:
z Impact against a non-y ielding obstacle:
the front airbags are trigg ered at low
vehicle speed.
z Impact against a yield ing obstacle:
(such as another vehicle): the front
airbags are only triggered at a hig her
vehicle speed.
6
77
When trigg ered , the front airbags inflate in
milliseconds and form a safety cushion for
driver and front passeng er. The forw ard
movement of the driver and front
passenger is checked and the risk of
injuries to the upper body a nd head
thereby substantially reduced.
No im pairment of view will occur, because
the a irb ags inflate and deflate so quickly .

Do not place the head, b od y, hands or

Do not place any objects in the area in
which the airb ags inflate. Im portant
inform ation page 84.
The three-point seat belt must be
correctly fitted see page 74.
 Seat belts must therefore always be
worn. The front airbag system serves to
supplement the three-point seat belts. If
you do not wea r your seat belt you risk
being seriously injured, or even thrown
from the vehic le, in the ev ent of an
accident.
In the event of an accident the belt helps
to keep you in the correct seating
position, so that the front airb ag system
can provide you with effective
protection.
In addition, the front airb ag sy stem will not
be triggered for the front passeng er in ver-
sions with seat occ upa ncy recognition 3 if
z the front pa ssenger's seat is unoccupied,

Driving hints The firs t 6 00 m ile s/1000 km
Driv e y our v ehicle at various speed s. Do
not use full throttle. Never allow the engine
to labour at low rev s.
Make good use of all gears. Depress the
accelerator ped al a ma ximum of around
three quarters of the available p edal travel
in all gea rs.
Do not d riv e faster than three quarters of
maximum speed .
Do not b rake unnec essarily ha rd for the
first 125 miles (200 km).
The inform ation c oncerns the engine and
parts of the power train, e.g . the final drive.
Never coast with engine not running
Many units will then not function (e.g. turn
signal lam ps, brake servo unit, power
steering 3, airbag system s). Driving in this
manner is a d anger to yourself a nd others.
Brake servo unit
With the engine not running the brake
servo unit is no longer effective once the
brake peda l has been depressed once or
twice. The braking effect is not red uced but
substantia lly grea ter foot pressure is
necessary to stop the vehicle.
168
P ower steering 3
If the power-assisted steering fails, e.g.
when being towed with the engine
switched off, the vehic le can still be
steered, but considerably m ore force is
required.
Driving in mountainous terrain or
with a trailer/caravan
The cooling fan is electrically operated. Its
cooling power is therefore independent of
the engine speed.
S ince a c onsiderab le am ount of heat is
generated at high engine speeds and less
at slower speeds, do not shift down when
climb ing hills whilst the vehic le is still coping
with the gradient in the hig her gear.
Diesel engines: On gradients of 10 % or
more, do not drive faster than 20 mph
(30 km/h) in first gear or 30 mph (50 km /h)
in second g ear.
Driving with a roof load
Do not exceed permitted roof load , see
pag e 255. For safety reasons, distribute
load evenly and tie down securely using
straps to prevent slip ping. Adjust ty re
pressure to value specified for full loads. Do
not drive faster than 75 m ph (120 km/h).
C heck straps at freq uent intervals and re-
tighten.
Switching off the e ngine
When you switch off, fans in the engine
compartment may continue running for a
time to cool the engine.
If the engine temperature is v ery high, e.g.
after driv ing in mountainous terrain: allow
the engine to idle for approxim ately tw o
minutes in order to prevent heat
accumulation.
Save energy more miles
Please observe the running-in hints on the
previous pag e and the tips for energ y
saving on the following pages.
Good, technica lly correct and economical
driving ensures ma ximum durability and
performance for your vehic le.
Overrun 3
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, if in manual transm ission
mode, 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.
Engine s pe ed
Driv e in a low engine speed range for each
gear a s m uc h as possible.
Warming 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.
Following a cold start, automa tic
tra nsmissions do not shift into the higher
gears until a fairly high eng ine speed has
been reached. This ensures that the
catalytic converter quickly attains the
temperature required for optimum
pollutant reduction.
Correct gear sele ction
Do not race your engine whilst in neutral or
with a low gea r selected. Driving too fast in
indiv idua l gea rs as well as stop-a nd -g o
tra ffic increases engine wear a nd fuel
consumption.
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
Alway s d epress the c lutch pedal hard to
the floor to p revent shifting difficulties and
transmission damage.
When driving do not use the pedal as a
foot rest; this will cause substantial clutch
wear.
P edals
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.
Battery care
When driving slowly or when the v ehicle is
stationary , e.g. in slow urban traffic, stop-
and-go traffic or traffic jams, turn off all
unnecessary electrical load s w here
possible (e. g. heated rear window, heated
front seats, etc. ).
Declutch w hen sta rting in order to relieve
the strain on the starter and the ba ttery.

Urban traffic
z Freq uent sta rting a nd stopping for
exam ple a t traffic lig hts, in stop-start
traffic or traffic queues greatly
increases average fuel consumption.
z Plan carefully to avoid traffic c ongestion.
Good anticip ation a voids unnec essary

If possible, selec t roa ds with a good
traffic flow.
By keeping a safe distance from the
vehicle in front a nd by not la ne-hopping
you will be able to avoid frequent
braking and acceleration, whic h uses up
a lot of fuel.
High speed
z The higher the speed , the higher the
consumption. At top speed, you
consume a great dea l of fuel.
z Slightly releasing the accelerator pedal
results in distinct fuel sa ving s w ith no
major loss of speed.
Driv e at no m ore than around three
qua rters of m aximum speed and y ou will
use up to 50 % less fuel, w ithout losing a
great deal of time.
Tyre inflation pres sure
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 additional consumers (e.g. air

pedal is dep ressed g ently and evenly the
transm ission will shift into the fuel-sa ving
gears at an early stage.
Loading
z Unnecessary weight increa ses fuel
consump tion, especially when
accelerating (urban traffic). A load of
100 kg can increase fuel consum ption in
urban traffic by up to
1.75 gal.1000 miles (0.5 l/100 k m).
z Reduce the loads you carry.
Roof racks, s ki-holders
z Roof ra cks and ski-holders can increase
fuel consumption by approx. 3. 5 gal./
1000 miles (1 l/100 k m)due to the
increased air resistance.
z Remov e them if they are not being used .
Repair and maintenance
z Improper repairs or adjustm ent and
maintenance work can increase fuel
consumption. Do not carry out w ork on
the eng ine yourself.
z We recom mend that repair and
maintenance be entrusted to your
Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
Extre me driving conditions
z Driv ing up steep gradients, driv ing on
poor roads, cornering, pulling a caravan/
tra iler or winter driv ing all increase fuel
consumption.
Fuel consumption increa ses dramatically
in urba n tra ffic a nd at winter

Environmental
Protection
Trend-setting technology
When dev eloping and manufac turing your
vehic le, Vauxhall used environment-
friendly and in the m ain recyc la ble
materials. The production methods used to
mak e y our v ehicle are likewise
env ironmenta lly -compatible.
Production wa stes a re recycled, with
materials being recovered for re-use.
Reduction of water requirements also helps
to conserve natural resources.
172
A highly advanced design m eans that your
vehicle can be ea sily disassemb led at the
end of its working life, and the indiv id ua l
materials sep arated for subsequent re-use.
Materials such as a sbestos and ca dmium
are not used.
New painting techniques employ wa ter as
a solv ent.
The pollutants contained in exhaust gas
are reduced.
As a Vaux hall driver, you can mak e a
major contribution to protecting the
environment:
z Sa ve fuel when driving. The previous
section gives you many valuable hints.
z Be conscious of the env ironment when
driving. The follow ing section gives y ou
some further v alua ble hints in this
reg ard.
End-of-life ve hicle recovery
Information on end-of-life vehicle recovery
centres and the recy cling of end-of-life
vehicles is available at www.v aux hall.com.
Environm ent-conscious driving
z High noise lev els and exhaust emissions
are often a result of driving without due
attention to the env ironment.
z Reduce the noise level and exhaust
emissions by adopting an env ironment-
conscious d riv ing sty le. This is extremely
worthwhile and improves the quality of
life.
"Jac krabbit" starts, i.e. screeching the
tyres and revving the engine, can
increase the noise level up to four times
over.
Select the next higher gear as soon as
possible. A vehic le travelling at 30 mph
(50 km /h) in second gear causes just as
much noise as three vehicles d riv en at
30 mp h (50 km/h) in fourth gear.
Warming up
z Driv ing at full throttle or warming up a t
idle speed increases fuel consump tion,
increases the a mount of emission and
the proportion of pollutant in the
ex haust, and a lso generates noise.
z Driv e off imm ediately after starting.
Engine speed should be moderate until
the eng ine has reached opera ting
temperature.
Uniform speed
z Hectic d riv ing significantly increases the
noise level, the q ua ntity of exhaust
emissions and the prop ortion of
pollutant in the exhaust.
z Do not a ccelerate and brake
unnecessarily. Drive at uniform speed.
Driv ing a t top g ear as much as possible,
driv ing in 4th or 5th gear from a speed of
30 mph (50 km/h) in urba n tra ffic,
shifting up as soon as possible and not
shifting down until the engine is no
longer running regula rly considerably
reduces the amount of noise pollution.
Urban traffic
z Freq uent driving off and stopping for
exam ple a t traffic lig hts greatly
increases the noise level.
z Av oid unnecessa ry stop s b y alway s
anticipa ting the driving conditions
ahead.
If possible, selec t roa ds with a good
traffic flow.
Keep a safe dista nce from the vehicle in
front and av oid unnecessary brak ing
and acceleration.
Driv e considerately, esp ecially in
resid ential areas and particularly at
night.
High s peed
z Driving at full throttle generates
excessive noise and em ission. Tyre and
wind noise also increases considerably
as the speed increases. Tyre noise
determines the overall vehicle noise level
in the highest g ear from speeds of
45 mph (70 k m/h). A vehicle driving at
90 mph (150 km /h) generates as much
noise as four vehicles d riv ing at
60 mph (100 km /h)or ten driving a t
45 mph (70 k m/h).
z Avoid trav elling at high speeds by
carefully planning your journey s.
Doors
z Slam ming doors create noise.
z C lose doors quietly . Be considerate,
especially in residential areas and
particularly a t nig ht.
The first 600 miles/1 000 km
z Technically incorrect and uneconomical
driving will impa ir the performa nce of
your vehicle and shorten its service life.
z Driv e y our vehicle sm oothly, making
good use of the gears as speeds c hange.
Depress the accelerator peda l a
maxim um of around three q uarters of
the a vailable pedal trav el. Do not use full
throttle,
Do not drive faster than three quarters of

Fuel consumption,
Fuel, Refuelling
Fuel cons umption
Fuel consump tion is determined und er
specific d riv ing cond itions, see page 251.
Fitting special equipm ent will increase the
weight of the vehicle. This in turn increases
fuel consum ption and reduces the
specified max imum speed of the vehicle.
There is increased friction betw een engine
and transmission parts during the first
600 miles (1000 k m) . This increases fuel
consump tion.
174
Fuel for petrol e ngines
Commercially av ailable high-quality fuels
are suitable (ca talytic converter, see
page 176, octane numb ers see
pages 248, 249). Fuel quality has a dec isive
influence on the power output, running
behaviour and serv ice life of the engine.
The additives contained in the fuel play an
important role in this regard. You should
therefore only use high-q uality fuels
containing add itiv es.
Fuel with too low an octane number can
cause pinking. Vauxhall cannot be held
lia ble for resulting dama ge.
Petrol with a higher octane number can
always be used.
Pump noz zles for lead ed fuel cannot be
inserted into the filler neck of v ehicles that
op erate on unleaded fuel.
The ignition tim ing is a utoma tica lly
adjusted according to the grade of fuel
used (octane number), see pa ges 248, 249.
Use of petrol w ith a n oc ta ne rating of 95
will ensure economica l driving.
Fuel for diesel engines
Diesel engines m ust be operated only on
comm ercially av ailable diesel fuel meeting
the specifications of DIN EN 590. Do not
use m arine diesel oils, heating oils or
entirely or partially plant-based diesel
fuels, such as rape seed oil or bio diesel,
Aquazole and similar diesel-water
emulsions.
The flow and filterability of diesel fuel a re
insufficient at low temperatures, as a result
of crystallized paraffins.
Diesel fuels with improved low-temperature
properties a re therefore available on the
mark et during the winter m onths. Make
sure that you fill the tank with winter fuel
before the start of the cold weather season.
Additives can be used with diesel fuels with
winter prop erties that are guaranteed by
the manufa cturer and when using diesel
fuel filters that are heated depending on
the outside temperature.
Refuelling
Care must be taken when handling fuel.
Before refuelling , switch off engine a nd
any ex ternal hea ters with combustion
cha mbers before refuelling. Switch
mobile phones off.
Petrol is flam mable and explosiv e.
Please therefore av oid na ked fla mes
and sp arks when handling fuel, even
when you are in the v icinity of fuel. Do
not smoke! This also applies in places
where petrol can only be detected by its
cha ra cteristic smell. If you can smell
petrol in the vehicle, hav e ca use thereof
remedied immed iately. We recommend
that you consult your Vauxhall
Authorised Repairer.
The fuel tank has a limiting system which
prevents overfilling of the ta nk .

20 mph (30 k m/h) to almost max imum
speed.
The c ruise c ontrol is operated with the
buttons I , R and O on the turn signal lever.
Do not use the c ruise control if it is not
adv isable to maintain a c onstant sp eed
(e. g. in situations presenting a danger to
yourself and other road users, in heavy
traffic or on winding , slippery or greasy
roads).
With autom atic transmission, it is a dvisa ble
to switch on the cruise control only when
drive range D is engaged.
When the cruise control is active, reaction
times may be increased due to the different
position of the feet.
Disreg ard of these instructions may lead
to injuries or end ang er life.

comfort and sa fety.
Changing tyre /whee l type
Before c hanging ov er to different tyres or

Use of unsuitab le tyres or wheels m ay
lead to accidents and render the vehicle
unroa dworthy .
186
Fitti ng new tyr es
Fit tyres in pa irs or in sets, which is even
better. Ensure tha t tyres on one axle are
z the same siz e,
z the same design,
z the same make,
z and have the same tread pattern.
Fit directional tyres such that they roll in the
direction of trav el. The rolling direction is
indicated by a symbol (e.g. an arrow) on
the sidewall.
Tyres fitted opposing the rolling direction
(such as when changing a ty re) should b e
refitted as soon as possible. This is the only
way to benefit fully from the d esign
properties of the tyre.
We recommend that you hav e 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 environment and your
health.
Tyre inflation pressure
Check ty re pressures, including the spare
wheel, at least ev ery 14 day s and prior to
any long journey; the ty res should be
check ed when cold. Don't forget to check
the spare.
Use the v alve cap key to make unscrewing
the valve caps easier. The key is located on
the inside of the tank flap.
Tyre pressure, see page 262 a nd the label
on the inside of the fuel tank flap. Have the
label replac ed a fter changing to different
tyre siz e.
Increa sed pressure resulting from tyre
warm-up must not be red uced, otherw ise
the p ressure may drop below the
permissible minimum.
After having checked the ty re p ressures,
tighten the valve caps using the valve cap
key.
Incorrect infla tion pressures will imp air
safety, v ehicle handling, comfort and fuel
economy and will increase tyre wear.
If the pressure is too low, this can result in
considera ble ty re warm -up and internal
damage, leading to trea d separation and
even to tyre blow-out at high sp eeds.
Hidden ty re d amage is not eliminated by
subsequently adjusting the inflation
pressure.
Incorrect ty re pressure may result in tyre
blow-out.
Tyre condition, wheel condition
Drive over edges slowly and at a right
angle if possible. Driv ing ov er sharp edg es
can lead to hidd en ty re damage and wheel
dam age which is only noticed later on.
When p arking, ensure that the tyres are not
pressed against the edge of the kerb.
C heck ty res regularly for d amage (foreign
bodies, punctures, cuts, cracks, bulges in
sidewa lls). C heck wheels for dam age. In
the event of damag e or ab normal wear,
consult a workshop. We recommend your

A note on safety
To avoid injury from c ables conducting
ignition volta ge, only carry out engine
compartment check s (e.g. checking the
brake fluid lev el or engine oil level) when
the ig nition is switched off.
The cooling fan is controlled by a
thermo-switch a nd can therefore start
unexpectedly even if the ignition is
switched off. Risk of injury.
Elec tronic ig nition system s genera te very
high v oltag es. Do not touch the ignition
system ; high voltage can be fatal.
Nev er ca rry out any repairs or a djustment
and maintenance work on the vehicle
yourself. This especially applies to the
engine, cha ssis a nd safety parts. Y ou m ay
unwittingly infringe the provisions of the
law and, by not performing the work
prop erly, endanger yourself and other
road users.
Checking and topping up fluids
To aid identification, the engine oil filler
cap , the c oolant expansion ta nk cap, the
lid of the fluid container for the wind screen
wash system, headlam p wash sy stem 3
and the handle of the oil dipstic k are
coloured y ellow.
Engine oil
The oils listed on pa ge 246 are particula rly
suita ble for this engine.
These hig h-quality oils are suitab le for
summer and winter operation.
C om mercially availab le quality brand-
name oils with the relevant quality and
viscosity class ca n b e used. Instructions on
pag e 246 must be followed.
The AC EA categories m ay be taken as a
quality criterion.
In the case of b ra nd oils the m anufacturers
are responsible for ensuring that the oils
they supp ly are suitable for Va ux ha ll
vehicles.
229
Eng ine oi l level and consum ption
All engines c onsume oil for technica l
rea sons. The engine oil consump tion ca n
only be assessed after d riv ing a long
distance, and may be above the specified
value during the initial stage (run-in
period). Frequent driving a t hig h revs
causes oil consumption to increa se.
For this rea son the engine oil level should
be check ed every 600 m iles (1. 000 km) or
before sta rting a long trip.
230
Engine oil l ev el chec k,

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 horizontal and with the engine
(w hich m ust be at operating temp erature)
switched off. Wait at least five minutes
before checking the level to allow the
normal oil accumulation in the engine to
drain back into the oil pan.
To check the level, remove the oil gauge
(dipstick), wipe it clean and reinsert it as
far as it will go. Top up if the oil level has
dropped to just above the "a dd oil"

The oil level must not go above the upper
ma rk MAX on the dipstick. Ex cess oil must
be dra ined or extracted by suction. If the oil
level does go above the mark MAX there is
a risk of damage to the engine or ca ta ly tic
converter.
The amount filled must be between the

when d riv ing on long downhill stretches,
vap our bubb les can occur in the w ater,
which can have an extrem ely adverse
effect on braking power (depending on the
proportion of w ater).
The fluid change intervals specified in the
Service Booklet m ust therefore be
observed.
We recom mend that y ou ha ve brake

headlamp wiper sy stem 3 to make sure
they are operating correctly.
If the windscreen is dirty, operate the
screen wash before switching on the
wind screen wipers or setting the wipers to
autom atic opera tion w ith the rain sensor 3 .
This will av oid wiper blade wear.
Do not switch on the wind screen wipers or
set them to automa tic operation with the

Washing
The paintwork of your v ehicle is exposed to
env ironmenta l influences, e. g. continuous
changes in weather conditions, ind ustrial
waste gases, dust and thawing salts, so
wash and wax your v ehicle regularly. When
using a utoma tic car washes, select a
programme which includes wax ing.
Bird droppings, dead insects, resin, pollen
and the like should be cleaned off
immediately , as they contain aggressive
constituents which can cause paint
dam age.
When using c ar washes, follow the relevant
instructions of the car wash facility. The
windscreen wipers or automatic wiper
system w ith rain sensor 3 and the rea r
window wiper 3 m ust be switched off; see
page 16. Remove the aerial 3 and the roof
rack 3.
If y ou w ash y our v ehicle by hand, make
sure that the insides of the wing s a re also

Clea n edges and folds on op ened doors
and flaps as well a s the area s they cover.
Thoroughly rinse off and leather-off the
vehicle. Rinse leather frequently . Use
separate leathers for paint and w indow
surfaces: remnants of wax on the wind ow s
will impair vision.
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.
Nev er let things deteriorate this far.
Wax ing prev ents harm ful chemical action.
Also wax edg es a nd folds on op ened doors

P olishing
Polishing is necessary only if the pa int has
become dull or if solid deposits hav e
become attached to it.
Paintwork polish with silicone forms a
protec tiv e film, making w axing
unnecessary.
Plastic body parts should not be treated
with wax and polish.
Use Metallic Paintwork Wax on vehicles
with a metallic-effect paint finish.
Whe els
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.
Paintwork damage

We recommend that you consult y our
Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. Please also
pay attention to surfaces and edg es
beneath the v ehicle where which rust ma y
have form ed unnoticed for some time.
Exterior lights
Headlamp and other protectiv e lam p
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.
Plastic and rubber parts
For add itional cleaning of plastic and
rubb er parts use C leaner. Do not use any
other agent, and in particular do not use
solvents or petrol.
Wheels and tyres
Do not use high-pressure jet clea ners on
wheels and tyres.
Interior and upholste ry
C lean the vehicle interior, including the
instrument panel fascia, using interior
cleaner.

Windows
When cleaning the heated rear window,
mak e sure tha t the heating element on the
inside of the wind ow is not d amaged.
Use a soft lint-free cloth or chamois leather
in conjunction with Wind ow Cleaner and
Insect Remover.
Vauxhall Windscreen Wash Solvent is
suitab le for de-icing windows.
For mechanical removal of ice, use a
commercially a vailable sharp-edged ice
scraper. Press the sc ra per firmly against

Fuel cons umption,
CO2 e mis sions
Directive 80/1268/EEC (last a mended by
1999/100/EC) has ap plied for the
measurement of fuel consumption
since 1996.
It is not comparab le with the previously
applicab le standard acc ording to
80/1268/EEC as amended by 89/491/EEC .
The direc tiv e is oriented to actual driving
practices: Urba n driving is rated at
approx. 1/ 3 and off-roa d driving with
approx. 2/ 3 (urban and extra-urban
consumption). C old sta rts a nd acceleration
phases are also taken into considera tion.
The specification of CO 2 emission is also a
constituent of the directive.
The figures given m ust not be taken as a
guarantee for the actual fuel consumption
of a p artic ular vehicle.
The calculation of fuel consumption as
spec ified by directive 1999/100/EC takes
acc ount of the v ehicle's kerb weight,
ascertained in accordance with the said
regula tion. Optional ex tras may result in
slightly higher fuel consumption and CO 2
emission lev els than those quoted.
To convert l/100 k m into mpg divide 282
by num ber of litres/100 km.
