Do not use any agg ressive cleaning agents. z Only protective covers which are approved for your vehicle with side airbag m ay be fitted on the seats. When fitting the protective covers, make sure that the a irb ag units on the outboard sides of the seat backrests are not covered. z The airbag sy stems are triggered ind epend ently of one another depending on the sev erity of the accident and type of impact. z Each a irb ag deploys once only. Have a workshop replace deployed airbags immediately. z The speeds, directions of movement and deformation properties of the vehic les, and the p roperties of the obstacle conc erned, determ ine the severity of the accident and triggering of the airbags. The degree of dama ge to y our vehicle and the resulting repair costs alone are not indica tiv e that the criteria for trig gering of the airb ags were met. Seats, Interior z Do not p erform any a lterations on the com ponents of the airbag sy stem, as this would render the vehic le unroadworthy . 9 Warning The systems can be triggered ab ruptly and cause injury if they are handled im properly. z We recom mend entrusting rem ov al of the steering w heel, the instrument panel, all panelling parts and the seats to a work shop. z When disposing of the vehicle, the safety instruc tions given for this must be ob served.

If a higher g ear is selected when the running speed is too low, or a lower gear when the speed is too high, no shift is effected. This prev ents the engine from running at too low or too high rev s. Gears can be skipped by jog ging the selector lev er repeatedly at short intervals. Selector l ev er i n A/M Switch b etween Automatic and M anual mode. In ma nual m ode, gears can b e selected manually b y mov ing the selector lever to + or - . The current gear is indica ted in the transmission display. If the eng ine speed is too low the Easy tronic will a utoma tica lly shift to a lower gea r even in Manual mode. This prev ents the engine from stalling. When the vehicle is in Automatic mode, Easytronic shifts to Manual mode when the selector lever is set to position + or - . The tra nsmission display shows the currently selected gear. Selec tor lever in R Reverse gear. Eng age only when vehicle is stationary. Press button on selector lever, selec t R. The transm ission display shows "R ".

When brak ing, Easytronic shifts down in good tim e. Manual m od e: To utilise the engine brak ing effec t, selec t a lower gear in good time when d riv ing downhill. Winter progr amme T In the event of diffic ulties starting off on slip pery roads, press button T ("A" and T appear in the tra nsmission display). Ea sy tronic switches to automatic m od e and the vehicle sets off in second gea r. Kick down Accelerator pedal pressed past the pressure point: below certain speeds, the transmission shifts down into a lower gear. Full engine power is available for acceleration. The w inter program is switched off by : z pressing button T a gain, z switching to Manual mode, z turning off the ignition. During k ic kdown no manual gear shifting is p ossible. In order to protect the Easytronic the winter programme automatically sw itches itself off at extremely high clutch temperatures. When the engine speed approaches its up per limit, the transm ission shifts to a higher gear during kickd ow n even in Manua l mode. Without kickdown this automatic shift is not effected in Manual mode. " Rocking" the car If it becomes necessary to rock the vehicle to free it from sand, m ud , snow or a hole, mov e the selector lever between o (c entre position) and R in a repeat pattern while app ly ing light pressure to the a ccelerator pedal. Do not race the engine and avoid sudden a cceleration. This applies only to the ex ceptional circumstances mentioned above. 106 Drivin g and Operation Stopp ing the vehicle In Automatic a nd Manua l mode, when the vehicle has stopped first gear (second gear with Winter mode engaged) is engaged autom atic ally and the clutch is released. In R reverse gear remains engaged. If a warning sig nal sounds when the d river’s door is op ened (foot b rak e not depressed), move the selector lever to N and app ly the hand b ra ke. Manoeuvri ng the vehicle To manoeuv re the vehicle back and forth during attem pts to park or in garage entrances the creeping movement can be utilised by relea sing the foot b ra ke. Never actuate a ccelerator and brake pedals simultaneously. In ord er to prevent damag e, the Easytronic disengages the "creep function" at extremely high automatic c lutch tem peratures. When stopping on grad ients, engage the ha nd brake or dep ress the brake pedal. To prevent overheating of the clutch, do not increase engine speed to ensure smooth idling when in gear. To prevent damage to the Easy tronic, the clutch is closed automatically at high clutch temperatures. Switch off engine if stopping for a lengthy period, e.g. in traffic jams or at lev el crossings. Vehicle storage Before lea ving the v ehicle: z engage hand brak e, z remove ignition key . The most recently eng aged gear (indicator in transm ission display ) rema ins enga ged. With N, no g ear is eng aged. When the ignition is switched off the Easy tronic no longer respond s to mov ement of the selector lever. If the ignition k ey is not removed , the battery may be discharged if the vehicle is then left to sta nd for a lengthy p eriod of time. If the hand brake has not been applied, the control indicator R flashes for a few seconds after the ignition is switched off. Driving an d Operation 107 3. Clean Easytronic around the cap (see fig ure) so that no d irt can get into the opening when the cap is removed. 4. Rotate ca p to sla cken a nd remove by lifting upwa rd s – see figure. 5. Turn the adjusting screw clock wise using a flat-head screwdriver (vehicle tools – see page 139) until clear resistanc e can be felt. The clutch has now been disengaged. Do not turn bey ond the resistance, since this can d amage the Easytronic. 6. Fit cleaned cap ag ain. The cap must be in full contact w ith the housing. Fault If a fa ult occ urs in the Easytronic, control indicator A illuminates. In the event of serious faults, "F" a lso app ears in the transm ission display . It is possible to continue driving if only control indica tor A illuminates. Ma nual mode can then no longer be selected. If "F" also ap pears in the transmission display, it is not possib le to continue driving. Hav e the cause of the fault eliminated by a w orkshop. The self-diagnosis integrated into the system allow s rap id fault identification. Interruption of p ower supply The clutch is not d iseng aged if the vehicle battery is discha rg ed and a gear has been selected. The vehicle cannot move. Towing the vehic le and starting the eng ine is not perm itted when the clutch has been released in this way , although the vehicle can b e m ov ed a short distance. If the ba ttery is flat, start the v ehicle using jump lead s – see page 134. C ontact a workshop immediately. If the cause of the power failure is not a discharged battery, c ontact a workshop. If the v ehicle m ust be removed from flowing traffic, release the clutch a s follows: 1. Apply hand brake and sw itch off ignition. 2. O pen bonnet and engag e support. 108 Drivin g and Operation Driving hints The first 600 mil es / 1000 km Drive your vehicle at v arious speeds. Do not use full throttle. Never allow the engine to lab our at low revs. Make good use of all gea rs. Depress the a ccelerator peda l a max imum of about 3 /4 of the available pedal 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 ). Never coa st with engine not running Many units will not function in this situation (e. g. brak e serv o unit, elec tric power steering). Driving in this manner is a danger to yourself and others. Brake servo unit When the engine is not running, the brake servo unit is no longer effective once the brake peda l has been depressed once or twice. Braking effect is not reduced , but significantly greater force is required for braking. Electri c power steering If the power-assisted steering fails when being towed with the engine switched off, the vehicle can still be steered, but considera bly more forc e is req uired. Dr iving in mountainous terrai n The cooling fan is electrically operated. Its cooling p ow er is therefore independent of the engine speed. Since a considerable amount of heat is genera ted at high engine speeds and less at slower speeds, do not shift d ow n when climbing hills whilst the v ehicle is still coping with the gradient in the higher g ear. Sw itching off the engi ne When y ou switch off, fans in the eng ine compa rtm ent may continue running for a tim e to c ool the engine. If the engine temperature is very high, e.g. after driving in mountainous terrain: Allow the engine to id le for approx im ately two minutes in order to prevent heat acc um ulation. Vehicles with turbocharged engine After running at high eng ine speeds or high eng ine loads, op erate the engine briefly at a low load or run in neutral for approx. 30 seconds before switching off in order to protec t the turbocharger. Sa ve energy – m ore miles Plea se observe the running-in hints on the this pa ge and the tips for sav ing energy on the following pa ges. Good, technically correc t and ec onomical driving ensures m aximum d urab ility and performa nc e for your vehicle. Driving an d Operation 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. To enable the overrun cut-off to take effect, do not acc elerate during overrun and on m anual vehicles, do not release the clutc h. To prev ent dam age to the c atalytic converter, overrun cut-off is tem porarily deactivated when the catalytic converter tem perature is high. Wa rming 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 operating temp erature. Vehicles with turbocharged engine Flow -g enerated noises may be aud ible if the a ccelerator is released quickly on account of air flow in the turbocharger. Correct g ear selection Do not race your engine whilst in neutral or with a low gear selected. Driv ing 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. Eng ine sp eed Drive in a low engine speed range for each gear as much as possible. After a cold start, the Easytronic 3 does not switch to higher g ears until the speed increases when it is in automatic m ode. This allows the ca ta lytic converter to quic kly reach the temperature that is required for optim um em ission reduction. Change dow n 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 op era tion Alw ays dep ress the clutch ped al hard to the floor to prevent shifting difficulties and transmission d amage. When driving do not use the pedal as a foot rest; this will cause substantial clutch w ear. 109 C ool ing fan The cooling fan is controlled v ia a therm oswitch and therefore only runs if necessa ry . 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. Bat tery ca re When driving slowly or when the vehicle is stationary, e.g. in slow urban traffic, stopand-go traffic or traffic jams, turn off all unnecessa ry electrical loads where possible (e. g. hea ted rear window, heated seats). De-clutch w hen sta rting in order to relieve the strain on the starter and the ba ttery. 110 Drivin g and Operation Saving fuel, Protectin g the environment Trend-set ting technology In the dev elopment and manufacture of your vehicle, environment-friendly and in the m ain recy clable materials were used.

Ener gy and environm ent-conscious d riving z High noise levels and exhaust em issions are often a result of driving w ithout due attention to saving energy and protecting the environment. z Y ou should therefore drive with energy in mind: "m ore miles – less fuel". Reduce the noise level and exhaust emissions b y adopting an environmentconsc ious driving style. This is ex tremely worthwhile and im proves the quality of life. Fuel consum ption d epend s to a great extent on your own personal d riv ing style. The following hints are intended to help you consume fuel at a rate that is as close as possible to the specified levels – see page 166. C heck y our v ehicle’ s fuel consumption every time you refuel. This facilitates early detection of any irregula rities causing increased fuel consumption. Warm ing 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 and 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 . I dling z The eng ine also consumes fuel when idling . z If you have to wait for more than one minute, it is worthwhile sw itching off the engine. Five minutes of idling corresponds to app roximately 0.6 miles (1 km) of driv ing. Driving an d 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 109. 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 rac e y our engine. Av oid driving at high engine speeds. Making use of the tachom eter helps to save fuel. Drive in a low engine speed ra nge for each gear as much a s possible with uniform engine speeds. Drive as often as possible in top gear, select the next higher gear a s soon as possible, and only chang e down when the engine is no longer running perfectly smoothly . High speed z The higher the speed, the higher the consump tion and the noise lev el. At top speed, you consume a great deal of fuel and produc e excessive noise and exhaust emissions. z Slightly relea sing the accelerator ped al results in distinct fuel savings with no major loss of speed. Drive at no more tha n around three quarters of max imum speed and you will use up to 50% less fuel, w ithout losing a g reat deal of time. 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. Electri cal loa ds 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. 111 Repai r and m aintenance z Improper repairs or adjustm ent and maintenance work can increase fuel consumption. Do not carry out w ork on the engine yourself. You may out of ignorance infringe environmental law s b y not disposing of materials properly . Appropriate parts might not b e recycled. Contact with some of the materia ls inv olv ed may p ose a hea lth haz ard. z We recom mend that repair and maintenance be entrusted to your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. Extr em e d riving conditions z Going up steep slopes, cornering, driving on poor road s a nd winter driving a ll increase fuel consumption. Fuel consumption increa ses dramatically in urba n tra ffic a nd at winter temperatures, especially on short trip s when the engine operating tempera ture is not reached. z Follow the hints given above to keep consumption to a m inimum under suc h cond itions. 112 Drivin g and Operation Fuel consumption Fuel consump tion is determined und er specific driv ing cond itions – see page 166. 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 transm ission parts during the first 600 miles (1000 km ). This increases fuel consump tion. Fuel Fuel for petrol engines Normal commercial high-quality fuels with a maxim um ethanol content of 5 % in accordance with DIN EN 228 are suitable (for cataly tic c onverter see pa ge 114, for octane numbers see page 164). The quality thereof has considerable effect on the performance, running and service life of the engine. The additives mixed with the fuel are extrem ely important. For this reason you must only refuel with high-quality fuels conta ining additives. Fuels with ethanol content greater than 5% do not comply w ith DI N EN 228 a nd must not b e used unless the v ehicle ha s b een specifically develop ed a nd approved for these fuels. 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. The ignition tim ing is a utoma tica lly adjusted according to the grade of fuel used (octane number) – see page 164. Use of petrol w ith a n oc ta ne rating of 95 will ensure economica l driving. Fuel for diesel engi nes Diesel engines m ust be operated only on comm ercially av ailable diesel fuel meeting the specifications of DIN EN 590. S ince Ja nuary 2004, some oil comp anies have mix ed their diesel fuel with upto 5% Bio fuel (FAME = Fatty Acid Methyl Esters) like RME (Rape-Oil Methyl Ester). This is in acc orda nce with the current DIN EN 590 and d oes not ha rm the fuel/injection system. The characteristics of a diesel fuel mix ed up with 5% Bio fuel (FAME) do not differ from conventional diesel fuel and do not influence the vehicle’s driveability. I mporta nt: Diesel fuel m ixed with 5% FAM E acc ording to DI N EN 590 m ust not be confused with 100% Bio Diesel, which is not to be used in Vauxhall eng ines. The flow and filterability of diesel fuel a re temperature-dependent. Diesel fuels w ith improved low temp erature properties are therefore a vailable on the ma rk et during the winter months. Make sure that y ou 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. Diesel fuels must not be diluted with fuels that are intended for petrol eng ines. Driving an d Operation 113 Fuel filler cap O pen the tank flap. When rep la cing the fuel filler cap, be sure to use a genuine fuel filler cap for your model to ensure full functionality. Diesel-engined vehicles have special fuel filler ca ps. Unscrew fuel filler cap to open and suspend from tank flap. Refuelling C orrect filling depends to a large ex tent on proper op eration of the fuel dispensing pump: The fuel tank has a limiting system which prevents overfilling of the ta nk . 9 Warning 1. Fully insert the pump nozzle and switch it on. Care must b e tak en when ha ndling fuel. Before refuelling , switch off engine a nd any ex ternal hea ters with combustion cha mbers before refuelling. Switch mobile phones off. 9 Warning Fuel is flammab le and explosive. When handling fuel or in the immediate vicinity, avoid na ked fla mes or sparks. Do not smoke. This a lso app lies where the presenc e of fuel is revea led b y its characteristic smell. If fuel odours occur in the car, have a w ork shop elim ina te the fault immediately . Fuel filler neck at right rear side of vehicle. The tank flap is locked together with the doors – see page 24. 2. After the autom atic cut-off the nominal capacity of the fuel tank c an be obtained by topping up with two doses of fuel. Make sure the nozz le is fully inserted. To close, position the fuel filler cap a nd rotate past the resistanc e until the ca p audibly clicks over the reta iner. C lose fuel tank cov er. Wipe off a ny ov erflowing fuel immediately . 114 Drivin g and Operation Damage to the ca talytic converter or the vehicle may result if the follow ing points are not observed: z O n ignition faults, uneven running after cold start, a clear d rop-off in eng ine power or other unusual opera ting symptoms which could indica te a fault in the ig nition system, contac t a workshop immediately. C ontinue driving if necessary for a short time at low speed and low revs. Catalytic converter, exhaust gases Ca talytic conv er ter for petrol engines Leaded fuel will damage the catalytic converter and parts of the elec tronic system, rendering them inoperative. Use of high-quality fuels other than those specified on page 112 (e. g. LRP 1) ) c ould dam age the catalytic conv erter. 1) LRP = L ea d Replacement P etrol. Irregular engine running and a loss of engine power when the Elec tronic Stab ility Prog ra m ESP® P lu s 3 comes into action are due to the operating conditions and are therefore of no significance - see pag e 118. z If unb urned fuel enters the cataly tic conv erter, this may result in overheating and irreparable damage to the c atalytic conv erter. You should therefore av oid unnecessarily long use of the starter when starting off, running the tank dry (an irregular fuel supply w ill lead to overhea ting) and starting the engine by pushing or towing. Driving an d Operation z If the control ind icator Z flashes to indica te emissions, back off until the flashing stops and the control indica tor illuminates. Contact a w orkshop im med ia tely. Control ind ic ator for emissions Z - see page 116. 115 Cata lyti c converter for d iesel engines Damage to the ca talytic converter or the vehicle may result if the follow ing points are not observed: z O n uneven running , a c lear drop-off in eng ine power or other unusual operating symptoms, c ontact a workshop immediately. C ontinue driving if necessary for a short time at low speed and low revs. Irregular engine running and a loss of eng ine power when the Electronic Stab ility Prog ra m ESP® P lu s 3 comes into action are due to the operating conditions and are therefore of no significance - see pag e 118. C ont rolling exhaust em ission S om e of the damaging substances in the exhaust such as carbon monoxide (CO ), hydrocarbons (HC) a nd nitrous oxides (NO x) are red uced to a minimum by ma king structural changes – mainly in the injection system a nd the ignition system in conjunction with the catalytic converter. 116 Drivin g and Operation Flashing with the engine running indicates a fault which could lead to catalytic conv erter damage. Y ou may c ontinue driving without d amage if you bac k off until flashing stops and the c ontrol indica tor com es on. C ontact a workshop immed iately. Control indicator Z for ex haust Illuminates when the ignition is switched on and during the start attempt. Goes off shortly after the engine starts running. Illuminated with the eng ine running indicates a fa ult in the ex haust gas cleaning system . The permitted em issions may be ex ceeded . Contact a workshop immediately . C ontrol indicator A for engine electronics C om es on for a few seconds after the ignition is turned on. If it illuminates when the eng ine is running, there is a fault in engine or transmission electronics. The electronic sy stem switches to an emergency running p rogram me. Fuel consum ption m ay be increa sed and the driveability of the vehicle m ay be impaired. In some cases, faults can be elim inated by switching off the engine and restarting. If the control indicator comes on again when the engine is running, contact a workshop to eliminate the cause of the fault. Driving an d Operation If it illuminates briefly , but does not recur, it is of no significance. Illumination of A ca n indicate water in the diesel fuel filter. Have a workshop check the fuel filter for possible water resid ue – see pa ge 181. If it flashes when the ignition is on there is a fault in the im mobilizer system – see page 21. Exhaust gases 9 Warning Engine ex ha ust gases contain poisonous carbon m onox id e, which is colourless and odourless and could be fatal if inha led. If exhaust gases penetrate the vehicle interior, open a window a nd contac t a w ork shop. During the first drive smoke may dev elop because of wax and oil evap orating on the exhaust system. Pa rk the vehic le in the op en for a while after the first drive and avoid inhaling the fumes. 117 Ma intena nce Hav e a ll maintenance work carried out at the intervals specified. We recommend that you entrust this w ork to y our Vauxhall Authorised Repa irer, who has proper equipment and tra ined personnel av ailable. Electronic testing systems permit rapid diagnosis and remedy of faults. This way you can b e certain that all components of the vehicle’s electrica l, injection and ignition systems operate correc tly , that your vehicle has a low level of pollutant emission and that the catalytic converter system will ha ve a long service life. Y ou are thereby making an im portant contribution towards keeping the air clean and c om pliance w ith emissions legislation. C hecking and adjustment of the fuelinjection and ignition systems is part of the scope of inspec tion. For this reason you should hav e a ll maintenance work carried out a t the intervals specified in your Serv ice Booklet. 118 Drivin g and Operation Drive Control Systems (ES P® P lu s ) 3 Elec tronic St abili ty Progra m ES P®P lu s improves driving stability as necessary in any driving situation regardless of the type of road surface or tyre grip. It also prevents the drive w heels from spinning. The system m onitors vehicle movements. As soon as the vehicle starts to swerve (understeers/oversteers) engine output is reduced (the sound of the engine cha ng es) and individual wheels are specifically braked . This considerab ly improves the driving stability of the vehicle on snow and ice and on wet or slippery road surfa ces. ESP® Pl us is read y for operation as soon as the ignition is switc hed on and c ontrol indicator v goes out. When ESP® P lu s comes into action, v flashes. The vehicle is now in a critical situa tion; ESP® Pl us allows you to keep control of the vehicle and remind s y ou to match y our speed to the road conditions. 9 Warnin g Do not let this special safety feature tempt you into ta king risk s w hen driving. Tra ffic safety can only b e ac hieved by adopting a responsible d riv ing sty le. Driving an d Operation Illum inates while driving: Fault in the sy stem. Driving ca n be continued. Poor road surface conditions may however still cause vehicle stability to be im paired. Have the ca use of the fault eliminated by a workshop. The self-diagnosis integrated into the sy stem allows rapid fault identification. Control indica tor m ay illuminate when the tem porary spare wheel is in use. The system is then d eactiva ted. Control indicator v comes on for a few seconds after the ignition is turned on. The sy stem is ready for operation when the w arning light goes out. Flashing during driving: This shows the system has come into a ction. The eng ine output may be reduced (the sound of the eng ine chang es) and the vehicle may be b rak ed automatically to a small degree. 119 Illuminates after interruption of power supply e.g. after disconnecting battery . After a power supply interrup tion the steering angle sensor must be calibrated to ma ke the system operationa l: z Automatic calibration d riv ing in straight line at constant slow 12 to 25 mph (20 to 40 km/h) speed on level, dry road . z Manual calibration by turning steering wheel from limit position to limit position. If the indicator light does not go off after successful calibration, observ e notes in midd le column. 120 Drivin g and Operation Crui se control 3 Cruise control can store and maintain speeds of approx. 20 to 125 m ph (30 to 200 k m/h). Dev ia tion from the stored speed is possible on uphill or d ownhill inclines. For safety reasons the cruise control cannot be activated until the foot brake has been operated once. The c ruise c ontrol is operated with the buttons I , R and O on the turn signal stalk. 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 Easy tronic 3, only use c ruise c ontrol when in automatic mode. When the cruise control is active, reaction tim es ma y b e increased due to the d ifferent position of the feet. 9 Warning Even with cruise control activated , the driver has full responsibility for maintaining an approp riate sp eed . Disregard of these instructions could lead to injury or d anger to life. To activa te Tap button I : the c urrent speed is stored and m ainta ined. The accelerator pedal can b e released . Vehicle speed can be increased by depressing the accelerator pedal. When the accelerator ped al is released, the previously stored speed is resumed. Driving an d Operation Increa se With cruise control activ e, hold down button I or tap it repeatedly : the speed is increased continuously or in steps of 1.2 mph (2 km/h) without using the accelerator pedal. The current speed is stored and sav ed after the I button ha s b een relea sed. Dec elera te With cruise control activ e, hold down button R or tap it repeatedly: the speed is reduced continuously or in steps. The current speed is stored and sav ed after the R button has been released . To deactiv ate Ta p button O : The cruise control is switched off. The vehicle slowly decelera tes. To continue driving, depress the accelerator pedal in the usual way. For reasons of safety, c ruise control deactiv ates under certain driving conditions. For example: z the v ehicle’ s speed drops below a pprox. 20 mph (30 k m/h) or z the brake peda l is depressed or z the clutch p edal is depressed or z Easy tronic 3 selector lever in N. 121 Resuming the stored speed Tap button R at a speed a bove 20 mph (30 km/h): the speed selected before the cruise control w as switched off is resumed. The stored speed va lue is deleted when the ignition is switched off. 122 Drivin g and Operation Park ing dista nc e sensor 3 Parking distance sensor mak es rev erse parking easier by measuring the distance between the rear of the vehicle a nd an obstacle through ultrasonic reflection a nd warning you with an a coustic signal in the passenger com partment. Fault O n sy stem faults, a permanent tone sounds at a dista nce of 1 metre from the ob stacle. Ha ve the cause of the fault elimina ted b y a work shop. In order to avoid operationa l problems or erroneous information, the sensors m ust be undamaged and free of soiling, snow and ic e. The system record s the distance using four sensors in the rear bumper. To activate With the ignition on, the Parking distance sensor engages automa tic ally after selecting reverse gear. The function rea diness is indicated by a short tone. If the vehicle slowly gets close to an obstacle w hile rev ersing, an intermittent acoustic signal is audible in the passenger compartment when the vehicle tail is less than one m etre from the obstacle. The interval between the signals becomes shorter as the distance is reduced. If the distance is less than 30 c m, a continuous signa l is aud ible. 9 Warning Under certain circumstances, v arious reflective surfaces on objects or c lothing as well as ex ternal noise sources may cause the system to fail to d etec t obstacles. For this reason, care must be taken when reversing even if the Parking distance sensor is operational. This is of particular im porta nce when in the v icinity of pedestrians. To deactiv ate The system d eactiva tes autom atically when rev erse g ear is disengaged. Driving an d 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. 123 Have worn brake pads replaced by a workshop. Tested a nd approved pads give optimum braking performance. Brake pads worn to the minimum level cause grinding noises. You may continue to drive but ha ve the pads replaced as soon as possible. To change the pad s, contact a workshop. Brak e assi st If the brake pedal is operated with a powerful push, the vehic le is a utoma tica lly brak ed a t full b ra king power in ord er to achieve the shortest p ossib le brak ing distance when full-on brak ing occurs (braking a ssistant). Maintain steady pressure on the b rake pedal for as long as full-on brak ing is to continue. When the brake pedal is released, the m aximum b ra ke force am plification is taken away . 124 Drivin g and Operation Foot brak e The foot brake comprises two independent brake circuits. If one brake circuit fa ults, the vehicle can still be b ra ked with the other b ra ke c ircuit. However the braking effect will occ ur a t a lower pedal position and considera bly more force is required. The braking distance is longer. Contact a w ork shop before continuing to drive. To ensure that full pedal travel can be utilized, espec ia lly in case of a fa ult in one of the brak e circuits, there must b e no mats in the vicinity of the pedals – see page 109. When the engine is not running, the support of the brake servo unit disa ppears once the brake p edal has been depressed once or tw ice. Braking effect is not reduced, b ut braking requires significantly greater force. This is especially important to bear in mind when towing. Check the brak e lights before sta rting 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 72. Hand brak e Alway s apply hand brak e firmly. O n slopes app ly the ha nd brak e as firmly a s possible. The mechanical hand brake acts on the brak es on the rear wheels. It eng ages automatically when app lied. To release the hand brake pull the lev er up slightly , press the ratchet knob, and fully lower the lever. To reduce the operating forces of the hand brak e, depress the foot brak e at the same time. Driving an d Operation For vehicles with Ea sy tronic 3 , the c ontrol indica tor flashes for a few seconds when the ignition is turned off if the hand brake is not app lied. 9 Warning If the control indicator comes on when the hand brake is released, stop driving immediately. C ontac t a workshop . Brak e system control i ndicat or R The w arning light com es on after the ignition is turned on, when the ha nd brake is app lied or if the b ra ke or clutch fluid lev el is too low . Brake fluid – see pa ge 183. 125 Anti-lock Brake System (ABS u ) ABS continuously monitors the v ehicle’ s brak e system and prev ents the wheels from locking regardless of the road condition and ty re grip. It starts to regula te the braking pressure as soon as a wheel shows a tendency to lock . The v ehicle rem ains steerable, even in the event of very heavy bra king, for instance on bends or when sw erving to avoid an obsta cle. Even in the ca se of full-on braking, the ABS makes it possible to driv e round an obsta cle without releasing the brak es. ABS control is mad e ap parent thoug h a pulse in the brak e pedal and the noise of the regulation process. 9 Warnin g For optimum braking, keep the brak e peda l fully dep ressed throughout the braking process, despite the fact that the pedal is pulsa ting. Do not reduce the pressure on the peda l. Do not let this special safety feature tempt you into tak ing risks when driv ing. Tra ffic safety can only b e ac hieved by adopting a responsible d riv ing sty le. 126 Drivin g and Operation Self-check Each time the ignition is turned on and the engine started , after moving away from a speed of around 1.9 mph (3 km/h) the sy stem perform s a self-check which may be audible. Fault 9 Warning Cont rol indica tor u for ABS It com es on for a few seconds after the ignition is turned on. The system is ready for operation when the control indica tor goes out. If the control indicator does not g o out after a few second s, or if it illum inates while driv ing , there is a fault in the ABS . The b ra ke system rem ains operational without AB S reg ulation. If there is a fault in ABS, the wheels may be subject to loc king due to braking that is heav ier than norm al. The advantages of ABS are no longer op erational. The vehicle can no longer be steered a nd may swerve. You can continue driving, prov ided you drive with care a nd antic ipation. Have the ca use of the fault eliminated by a workshop. The self-diagnosis integrated into the sy stem allows rapid fault identification. Wheels, tyres S ee page 170 for suitable tyres and restrictions. Tyres fitted in the fac tory are adapted to the chassis and provide optimum driving comfort and safety . Driving an d Operation Cha ng ing tyre/w heel type Before changing to other tyres or wheels, note the necessary c hanges. If tyres of a different size than those fitted at the factory are used, the electronic speedometer may require reprogramm ing to ensure that the correct speed is displa yed. 9 Warning Use of unsuitable tyres or wheels may lead to a ccidents and rend er the vehicle unroadworthy. Fit ting new tyres Fit ty res in pairs or in sets, which is even better. Ensure that tyres on one axle are z the sam e size z the sam e desig n z the sam e ma ke z and hav e the sam e tread pa ttern. Fit directional tyres such tha t they roll in the direction of travel. The rolling direc tion is indica ted b y a sym bol (e.g . an arrow) on the sidewall. Ty res fitted op posing the rolling direction (such as when changing a tyre) should be refitted as soon as possible. This is the only way to b enefit fully from the design prop erties of the ty re. When disposing of tyres, follow the lega l requirements. 127 C ertain brands of tyre have a bea ded ed ge to protec t alloy wheels from dama ge. If wheel trims are used on steel wheels w ith beaded-edge tyres, the following procedure must be followed: z Use wheel trims and ty res tha t are approved by Vauxhall for the vehicle in question a nd therefore meet all the requirem ents pertaining to the respective wheel/ty re c om bina tion. z If the wheel trims and tyres used a re not Vauxhall-app rov ed, the tyres must not ha ve a beaded edg e. 9 Warnin g Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel trims could lead to sudden loss of air and thereby accidents. 128 Drivin g and Operation Hidd en tyre dama ge is not elim inated by adjusting the inflation p ressure. 9 Warnin g Incorrect ty re pressure could lead to a flat tyre. Tyre pr essure Check ty re pressure, including the spa re 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 3. Tyre pressure - see page 170 a nd the adhesive foil 3 on the door. Ha ve adhesive foil replaced after changing to different tyre siz e. Do not reduce tyre pressure when the ty res are warm. Otherwise the pressure m ay drop below the permissible minim um when the ty res cool down. Screw on the valve cap a fter check ing pressure. 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 heating and internal damage, leading to trea d separation and ev en tyre blow-out at high speeds. Driving an d Operation 129 Check ty res regularly for damage (penetrated foreign bodies, punctures, cuts, cracks, bulges in side w alls). C heck wheels for damage. If dama ge or unusual wear is found, contact a workshop. 9 Warning Dama ge m ay lead to ty re blow-out. Tyre cond ition, w heel condi tion Drive over edges slowly and at a right angle if possible. Driving over sharp ed ges can lead to hid den tyre damag e and w heel dama ge which is only noticed later on. When pa rk ing, ensure that the tyres a re not pressed against the ed ge of the kerb .

For reasons of safety , tyres should be replaced when their tread depth has worn down to 2 to 3 mm (winter tyres: 4 mm). 130 Drivin g and Operation General i nformati on z The risk of aq ua planing is greater if the tyres are worn. z Tyres age, even if they a re used only very little or not at all. A spare wheel which has not been 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 )).

Bird d ropp ings, dead insec ts, resin, pollen and the like should be cleaned off imm ediately, a s they contain aggressive constituents which can ca use paint dam age. When using car washes, follow the instructions of the c ar wash m anufacturer. S witc h off the windsc reen w ip er – see pag es 11, 87. U nscrew antenna rod 3 . If y ou wash your vehicle by hand, make sure that the insides of the wings are also thoroughly rinsed out. C lean edges and folds on opened doors and flaps as well as the a reas they cover. Thoroughly rinse off a nd leather-off the vehicle. Rinse leather frequently. Use sepa ra te leathers for paint and window surfac es: rem nants of wax on the windows will im pair vision. O bserve national regulations. Self-help, vehicle care Waxing Wax y our vehicle regularly, in particula r after it ha s b een washed using shampoo and at the latest when water no longer forms bead s on the paintwork, otherwise the p aintwork will dry out. Also wax edges and folds on opened doors and flaps as well as the areas they cover. Polishing Polishing is necessary only if the paint has become dull or if solid deposits have become attached to it. Paintwork polish w ith silicone forms a p rotective film , mak ing waxing unnecessary. Plastic body p arts should not b e treated with wax and polish. Use M etallic Paintwork Wax on v ehicles with a m etallic-effect paint finish. Wheels Use a pH-neutral wheel cleaning agent to clean the wheels. Wheels are painted and can b e treated with the same agents as the body. For alloy wheels we recommend use of Alloy Wheel Preserver. Pa intwork dam age Repair m inor p aintwork damage such as stone chips, scratches etc. im mediately using the touch-up pen or spra y before rust forms. If rust ha s already formed, ha ve a workshop eliminate the cause. Also check the surfaces and edges fa cing the road surfa ce on which rust may ha ve developed for some time unnoticed. Exterior light s Head lig ht and other p rotective light bezels are m ade of plastic. If they require additiona l cleaning after the vehicle has been washed, clean them with Car Shampoo. Do not use a ny abrasive or caustic a gents, do not use an ice scraper, and do not clea n them dry . 159 Plastic and rubb er parts If the carwash does not clean plastic and rubber parts adequately, use cleaner suita ble for vehicle interiors. Do not use any other a gent, and in particular do not use solvents or petrol. Do not use high-pressure jet c leaners. Wheels a nd tyr es Do not use high-pressure jet c leaners. 160 Self-help, vehicle care Interior and upholstery Clean the v ehicle interior, includ ing the instrument panel fascia, using interior cleaner. Wi nd ows When cleaning the heated rear w indow, make sure that the hea ting element on the inside of the window is not dama ged. The instrum ent panel should only be cleaned using a soft damp cloth. Use a soft lint-free c loth or cham ois leather in conjunction with Window C leaner and Insect Rem over. Clean fabric upholstery with a vacuum cleaner and brush. To remove stains, use cleaner that is suitable for both fabrics and vinyl. Do not use cleaning agents such a s acetone, tetrachloride, p aint thinner, paint rem ov er, na il varnish remover, washing powder or bleach. Petrol is also unsuitable. O pen velcro fasteners on clothing could dam age seat upholstery . Mak e sure that velcro fasteners are closed. Seat b el ts Always keep seat belts clean and dry. Clean only with lukew arm wa ter or Cleaner. Vauxhall Windscreen Wash Solvent is suitable for defrosting w indows. For mechanical rem oval of ice, use a commerc ia lly availab le sharp-edg ed ice scraper. Press the scraper firmly ag ainst the glass so that no dirt c an get under it and scra tch the glass. Wi nd sc reen wi per blad es Wax , such as that used in car washes, can cause streaking on the wind screen when the wiper is used. Smearing wiper blades can be c leaned with a soft c loth and Vauxhall Windscreen Wash Solvent, and replaced if necessary – see p age 184. Locks The locks are factory-lubricated with a hig h quality lock cylinder grease. This p revents the loc ks from freez ing. Only use Va ux ha ll De-icer in urg ent cases as this destroys the grease and d amages the func tion of the locks. After using Vaux hall De-icer, ha ve a workshop re-grease the loc ks. Self-help, vehicle care Eng ine compar tment Clean painted surfaces in the engine compartment like any other p ainted surface. It is adv isable to wash the engine compartment before and after winter and preserve it with wax. Before engine washing, cover alternator and brak e fluid reservoir w ith p la stic sheeting . 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. Engine washing also rem ov es subsequently applied protec tiv e wa x. Therefore after washing, have a workshop protect the engine, parts of the b ra king sy stem in the engine bay, axle elements with steering , body elements and cav ities, thoroughly with protective wax . An engine wash can be performed in the spring in ord er to remove dirt that has adhered to the engine compartment, which may also ha ve a high sa lt content. Check p rotective wax layer and make good if necessary. Do not use high-pressure jet cleaners. 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. On vehicles which are washed freq uently in automa tic car washes with underbody washing facility, the protective wax coating may b e impaired by d irt-dissolv ing additives, so check the underbody after washing and ha ve it waxed if necessary . Before the start of the cold weather season, check the PVC c oa ting a nd protective wax coating and, if necessary , have them restored to perfect condition. Caution - commercially av ailable bitum en/ rubb er ma terials can dama ge the PVC coating. We recommend that you have underbody w ork carried out b y a work shop, who know s the prescribed materials and has experience in the use thereof. 161 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. Retra ctabl e steel roof C oa t all seals, such as on the roof and the windscreen fra me, with silicone oil from time to time. A consta nt close conta ct between the fine rubb er lips and the sealing faces ensures a tight fit and low closing forces. Do not use high-pressure jet c leaners. 162 Tec hnic al data Technical data Vehicle docum ents, identification plate..... .... ..... .... .... ..... .

The direc tiv e is oriented to actual driving practices: Urban driv ing is rated at approx. 1/ and off-road d riv ing with approx. 3 2/ (urban and extra-urban consum ption). 3 Cold starts and acceleration phases are also tak en into consideration. 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. All values are b ased on the EU base model with standard equipment. 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.

A note on safety To av oid injury from moving parts and cab les conduc ting ignition voltage, only carry out engine c om partment checks (e.g. checking brake fluid or engine oil level) when the ignition is switched off. 9 Warnin g The cooling fan is controlled b y a thermoswitch a nd can therefore sta rt unexpectedly ev en if the ig nition is switched off. Risk of injury . Electronic ignition system s generate very hig h voltages. Do not touch the ignition sy stem; high voltage can b e fatal. Servic e, Mainten ance 179 Engine oil Information on eng ine oils is found in the Serv ic e Booklet. Engine oil l ev el and consumpt ion Every engine consum es engine oil for technical rea sons. The engine oil consumption cannot be assessed until a fa irly long dista nce has been driven, and may be above the spec ified v alue when the vehicle is first being driven (run-in period). Frequent driving at high revs increases engine oil c onsumption. Never carry out any repairs or adjustm ent and m aintenance work on the vehic le yourself. This especia lly applies to the engine, chassis and safety parts. You may unwittingly infringe the provisions of the law a nd , by not performing the work properly , end ang er y ourself and other road users. Checking and to pping up fluids To aid id entific ation, the caps used when topping up engine oil, coolant and w ash fluid as well as the oil dipstick are coloured yellow. In vehicles w ith engine oil level check 3 , the engine oil level is checked automatically see p age 72. It is p artic ularly advisable to check the engine oil lev el b efore emb arking on a long journey. 9 Warning It is the Owner’s Responsibility to maintain the proper level of an appropriate quality oil in the engine. Engine oil level check , top ping up engine oil The oil level must be checked with the vehicle on a level surface and w ith the eng ine (which must be at operating temperature) switched off. Wait at least 5 minutes before chec king the level to allow the norm al engine oil accumulation in the engine to d rain into the oil pan. 180 Service, Maintenance To check the engine oil level, insert wiped oil dipstick into handle a s far as it will go. Top eng ine oil up if the level has dropped into the range of the top-up m ark MIN . Top up with the same brand of engine oil that was used during the previous oil cha ng e, following the instruc tions in the service book let. The engine oil level must not exceed the upper mark M AX on the dipstick. Excess engine oil must be drained off or extracted. If the engine oil level is above the MAX mark there is a risk of damage to the engine or the ca ta lytic converter. To close, position the cap and screw it into place. The a mount filled must be between the MIN and MA X marks – see pag e 173. Capacities – see page 173. Engine oil change, oi l filter chang e Hav e oil c hanged by a workshop as a function of service interval display. We recommend that you use g enuine eng ine oil filters. Servic e, Mainten ance 9 Warning Waste engine oil c annot be disposed of with domestic refuse. Observ e the legal requirements for disposal of old oil and filters to p rotect the environm ent and your health. 181 Diesel fuel filter Coolant On each engine oil change, ha ve the fuel filter check ed for any water resid ue by a workshop. The gly col-based coolant provides excellent corrosion protection for the heating and cooling systems as well as antifreeze protection down to ap prox. -28 °C . It rem ains in the cooling system throughout the y ear and need not be changed . Illum ination of A indica tes water in the fuel filter 3. Have fuel filter checked at shorter interv als if the vehicle is sub jected to ex treme op erating c onditions such as high humidity (p rim arily in coastal areas), ex tremely hig h or low outside temp eratures and substantia lly vary ing daytime and nighttim e temperatures. Use of certain antifreez es can lead to eng ine damage. We therefore recommend that you use only approved antifreez es. 9 Warnin g Antifreeze is a danger to health; it m ust therefore be kept in the original container and out of the reach of children. 182 Service, Maintenance When the engine is at op erating temperature, coolant lev el rises. It falls aga in when the system cools. If it falls below the KALT/C OLD mark when the system is cold, top up to the mark. Top up a ntifreeze. If no antifreeze is av ailable, top up with clean tap water. If tap water is unavailab le, distilled water can b e used. After filling with tap water or d istilled water, measure the antifreeze concentration and ad d antifreez e if required. H ave a workshop establish the cause of the coolant loss. Antifreeze and corrosion protecti on Before the start of winter, have a w orkshop check the a ntifreeze protection. The antifreez e lev el must guarantee protection to approx. -28 ° C. Insuffic ient antifreez e will reduc e the frost protec tion level and the c orrosion p rotection. If necessary add antifreez e. If coolant loss is topped up with water, have concentration checked and add antifreez e if necessa ry . Coolant lev el Hardly a ny losses occur since the cooling sy stem is sealed and it is thus rarely necessary to top up the coolant. The coolant should be a little above the KALT/COLD ma rk in the expansion tank with a cold cooling system. The coolant level can also be read off from the outsid e of the ex pansion tank. 9 Warning Allow engine to cool down before rem ov ing coolant filler cap. Remove filler cap carefully so that pressure can escape slowly , otherwise there is a risk of scalding. Too low a coolant level can cause engine dam age. To close, position the cap and screw it into place. Servic e, Mainten ance 183 Coola nt temperat ure If the temperature ga uge enters the red zone, check the coola nt level im med ia tely. z Coolant level too low: add c oolant, see notes under "Antifreez e and corrosion protection", and " Coolant level". H ave a workshop eliminate the cause of the coolant loss. z Coolant OK : Have the cause of the raised c oolant temperature elim ina ted. Contact a work shop. Brake fluid Brake fluid lev el 9 Warning Brake fluid is poisonous a nd corrosive. Do not allow it to come into contact with eyes, skin, fab ric or painted surfaces. Direct contac t could cause injury and dam age. Open the cover of the brake fluid reservoir up wards, remov ing the sealing rubber on the front edge. The fluid level in the reservoir must be neither hig her than the MA X mark nor lower tha n the MI N mark. Use of certain brake fluids can lead to dam age or reduced braking effect. We therefore rec om mend that you use only high performa nce app roved b ra ke fluid. Absolute cleanliness is important when topping up, since contamination in the brak e fluid can c ause brake sy stem ma lfunctions. After c orrecting the brak e fluid level, have a work shop eliminate the cause of the brak e fluid loss. 184 Service, Maintenance Brak e fluid chang e Brake fluid is hy groscopic, i.e. it absorbs water. If the brakes b ecome hot, suc h as 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 (dep ending on the p roportion of water). The fluid change intervals specified in the Service Booklet m ust therefore be observed. 9 Warning Have the brak e fluid changed by a work shop. O bserve the legal requirements for disposal of brake fluid to protect of the environm ent and y our health. Windscreen wiper Clea r vision is essential for safe driv ing. Therefore c heck w indscreen wiper and headlight wash/wip e system 3 regularly for cleaning effect. We recomm end replacing the wiper blades after a y ear at most. If the windows are dirty, op erate the wind screen wash before switching the wiper on in order to prev ent wiper blade wear. Do not switch windscreen wiper on if wind ow s a re icy , since this may damage the wiper ed ges or the w ip er system. If the wiper bec om es frozen on to the glass, we rec om mend that they be released with the aid of Vauxhall De-icer Spray . S mearing wiper blades c an be cleaned with a soft cloth and Vauxhall Wind screen Wash Solvent. Wiper blades whose lips have become hardened, crack ed or covered with silicone must be replac ed. This may be necessary as a result of the effects of ic e, thawing salt or hea t, or the incorrect use of cleaning agents. S witc h off the windsc reen w ip er, see - pa ge 11, 87.
