The inflated airbags cushion the impact, thereby reducing the risk of injury to the upper body and pelvis in the event of a side-on collision considerably. 45 system is to be fitted on this seat. The belt pretensioners and all driver airbag systems will remain active. 9 Warning Keep the area in which the airbag inflates clear of obstructions. Note Only use protective seat covers that have been approved for the vehicle. Be careful not to cover the airbags. Airbag deactivation Front airbag and side airbag systems for the front passenger seat have to be deactivated if a child restraint The front passenger airbag system can be deactivated via a switch on the side of the instrument panel. 46 Seats, restraints 9 Danger Risk of fatal injury for a child using a child restraint system together with activated front passenger airbag. Risk of fatal injury for an adult person with deactivated front passenger airbag. With the front door open, push switch in and rotate anti-clockwise to the OFF position. Front passenger seat airbags are deactivated and will not inflate in the event of a collision. Control indicator * illuminates continuously alongside the information display or on the instrument panel and a corresponding message appears in the Driver Information Centre. A child restraint system can be installed in accordance with the installation locations chart 3 48. An adult must not occupy the front passenger seat. As long as control indicator * is not illuminated, the airbag systems for the front passenger seat will inflate in the event of a collision. If control indicator A remains illuminated together with v, this indicates a fault within the system. Seek the assistance of a workshop. Change status only when the vehicle is stopped with the ignition off. Status remains until the next change. Control indicator for airbag deactivation 3 73. 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 Seats, restraints 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 3 45. 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. It is appropriate to change the system when the child's head can no longer be properly supported at eye height. Children under 12 years or under 5 ft tall should only travel in an appropriate child restraint system. Child restraint systems that comply with ECE 44-03 or ECE 44-04 are suitable. Since a proper position of the seat belt is rarely possible with a child that is smaller than 5 ft, we strongly advise the use of an appropriate child restraint system, even though this might, due to the age of the child, no longer be legally binding. ■ Never hold a child whist travelling in the vehicle. The child will become too heavy to be held in the event of a collision. ■ When transporting children, use the child restraint system suitable for the child's weight. ■ 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. ■ Only allow children to enter and exit the vehicle at 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. 47 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. 48 Seats, restraints Child restraint installation locations Permissible options for fitting a child restraint system Front seats - All variants Weight and age class Group 0: up to 10 kg or approx. 10 months Group 0+: up to 13 kg or approx. 2 years Group I: 9 to 18 kg or approx. 8 months to 4 years Group II: 15 to 25 kg or approx. 3 to 7 years Group III: 22 to 36 kg or approx. 6 to 12 years 1) 2) Single seat - front passenger side1) Bench seat - front passenger side without airbag without airbag with airbag centre outer centre outer with airbag U U2) U U U2) U2) U U2) U U U2) U2) U U2) U U U2) U2) If adjustable, ensure seat is in its rearmost position.

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. Stop-start system Deactivation The stop-start system helps to save fuel and to reduce the exhaust emission. When conditions allow, it switches off the engine as soon as the vehicle is at low speed or 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. Deactivate the stop-start system manually by pressing the stop-start Î button. LED in the button illuminates when the system is deactivated. Autostop If the vehicle is at low speed or standstill, activate an Autostop as follows: ■ depress the clutch pedal ■ shift the selector lever to N ■ release the clutch pedal Driving and operating The engine will be switched off while the ignition stays on if the required conditions are met. An Autostop is indicated when Ï illuminates green in the instrument cluster. During an Autostop, the brake performance will be maintained. Conditions for an Autostop The stop-start system checks if each of the following conditions is fulfilled, otherwise an Autostop will be inhibited. ■ 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 ■ the battery is sufficiently charged and in good condition ■ the engine is warmed up ■ the engine coolant temperature is not too high ■ the ambient temperature is not too low ■ the defrosting function is not activated ■ the climate control system does not inhibit an Autostop ■ the brake vacuum is sufficient ■ the vehicle has moved since the last Autostop ■ the diesel particle filter selfcleaning function is in progress An Autostop may be less available as the ambient temperature approaches freezing point. 103 Certain settings of the climate control system may inhibit an Autostop. See Climate control chapter for further information 3 89. Immediately after motorway driving an Autostop may be inhibited. Autostop may also be inhibited temporarily if the battery has been recharged by an external source. New vehicle running-in 3 100. Battery discharge protection To ensure reliable engine restarts, several battery discharge protection features are implemented as part of the stop-start system. Restart of the engine by the driver Depress the clutch pedal to restart the engine. If the selector lever has been shifted out of N or other conditions are not met, start using the ignition key. Control indicator Ï will extinguish in the instrument cluster when the engine restarts. 104 Driving and operating If the selector lever is shifted out of N before depressing the clutch first, a restart will not take place. Restart of the engine by the stop-start system The selector lever has to be in N to enable an automatic restart. If one of the following conditions occurs during an Autostop, the engine will be restarted automatically by the stop-start system. Control indicator Ï will flash green in the instrument cluster when the engine restarts automatically. ■ The stop-start system is manually deactivated ■ the engine temperature is too low ■ the battery is discharged ■ the brake vacuum is not sufficient ■ the vehicle starts to move ■ the defrosting function is activated ■ the climate control system requests an engine start ■ the predetermined timing has been exceeded If an electrical accessory, e.g. a portable CD player, is connected to the power outlet, a brief power drop during restart might be noticeable. If the Infotainment system is active, audio sound may briefly be reduced or broken during restart. Warning chimes 3 79. Parking ■ Do not park the vehicle on an easily ignitable surface. The high temperature of the exhaust system could ignite the surface. ■ Always apply parking brake without pressing release button. Apply as firmly as possible on a downhill or uphill slopes. Operate the foot brake at the same time to reduce operating force. ■ Switch off the engine and ignition. Turn the steering wheel until the steering wheel lock is felt to engage. ■ If the vehicle is on a level surface or uphill slope, engage first gear before switching off the ignition. On an uphill slope, turn the front wheels away from the kerb. If the vehicle is on a downhill slope, engage reverse gear before switching off the ignition. Turn the front wheels towards the kerb. ■ Lock the vehicle and activate the anti-theft locking and anti-theft alarm systems. Air suspension Operates automatically when the vehicle is driven. The air suspension system constantly adjusts the ride height according to the vehicle load. For further information on the air suspension system, refer to the operating instructions supplied. Driving and operating Master switch Remote control Caution Handle with care, protect from moisture and high temperatures and avoid unnecessary operation. Pre-programmed settings The air suspension system must be switched off when the vehicle is being towed, jump‐started, raised off the ground or transported. Do not switch off the air suspension system when driving. The master switch is located on the door pillar. 105 Adjusts the suspension height to one of three pre-programmed positions. The buttons are only functional when the engine is running. l = lowered position k = normal position j = raised position When increased ground clearance or improved vehicle access is required, the suspension can be raised or lowered using the remote control. The remote control unit is magnetic and can be fixed to any metal part of the vehicle. With the ignition switched on, press the appropriate button for 2 seconds to adjust the suspension height. Indicator light will flash intermittently while height adjustment is in progress and illuminates when complete. Manual settings Manual adjustment can only be performed when the vehicle is stationary. Select by pressing button h for 2 seconds, then button R to raise, or button S to lower. To exit, press any of the preprogrammed buttons. When the vehicle is moving, manual adjustment will exit automatically. If the ignition is switched off, the vehicle will return to normal ride height when the ignition is switched back on. 106 Driving and operating Service mode Press button i for 5 seconds to put the vehicle into service mode. The indicator light will illuminate. When service mode has been activated, the air suspension master switch must be turned off. To exit service mode, press button i again for 5 seconds. Fault If a fault is detected, i button will flash intermittently. If the service mode has been activated and there is a fault h, S and R buttons will flash simultaneously. Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop. Engine exhaust 9 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 without any notification. The filter is cleaned by periodically burning off the soot particles at high temperature. This process takes place automatically and the emission of smells and smoke during this process is normal. If cleaning of the filter is required and automatic cleaning does not occur, it will be indicated by the illumination of control indicator A in the instrument cluster. Seek the assistance of a workshop immediately. Catalytic converter The catalytic converter reduces the amount of harmful substances in the exhaust gases. Caution Fuel grades other than those listed on page 3 120, 3 165 could damage the catalytic converter or electronic components. Unburnt petrol will overheat and damage the catalytic converter. Therefore avoid excessive use of the starter, running the fuel tank dry and starting the engine by pushing or towing. Driving and operating In the event of misfiring, uneven engine running, a reduction in engine performance or other unusual problems, have the cause of the fault rectified by a workshop as soon as possible. In an emergency, driving can be continued for a short period, keeping vehicle speed and engine speed low. If control indicator Z flashes, the permitted emission limits may be exceeded. Lift your foot off the accelerator until Z stops flashing and is steadily illuminated. Contact a workshop immediately. Malfunction indicator light 3 74. Manual transmission 107 Caution It is inadvisable to drive with hand resting on the selector lever. To engage reverse, with the vehicle stationary depress the clutch pedal, pull up the collar on the selector lever and engage the gear. If the gear does not engage, set the lever in neutral, release the clutch pedal and depress again; then repeat gear selection. Do not grind the clutch unnecessarily. When operating, depress the clutch pedal completely. Do not use the pedal as a foot rest. 108 Driving and operating Manual transmission automated The manual transmission automated (MTA) permits manual (manual mode) or automatic gear shifting (automatic mode), both with automatic clutch control. Transmission display Starting the engine Depress the foot brake when starting the engine. If the foot brake is not depressed, T illuminates in the transmission display and the engine cannot be started. When the foot brake is depressed, the transmission automatically shifts to N (neutral); "N" appears in the transmission display and the engine can be started. There may be a slight delay. Selector lever Always move the selector lever in the appropriate direction as far as it will go. Upon release, it automatically returns to the centre position. N = Neutral. A/ = Switch between automatic M and manual mode. The transmission display shows "A" when in automatic mode. R = Reverse gear. Engage only when vehicle is stationary. The transmission display shows "R" when reverse gear is engaged. + = Shift to a higher gear. = Shift to a lower gear. Starting off Shows the mode and current gear. When the engine is started, the transmission is in automatic mode. Depress the foot brake and move the selector lever towards + to engage first gear. If R is selected, reverse gear is engaged. The vehicle starts to move when the foot brake is released. To Driving and operating start off quickly, release the foot brake and accelerate immediately after engaging a gear. In automatic mode the transmission shifts to other gears automatically, dependent on driving conditions. To engage manual mode, move the selector lever towards A/M. The current gear will appear in the transmission display. To engage first gear, depress foot brake and move selector lever towards + or -. Shift to a higher or lower gear by moving selector lever to + or -. Gears can be skipped by moving the selector lever repeatedly at short intervals. Stopping the vehicle In automatic or manual mode, first gear is engaged and the clutch is released when the vehicle is stopped. In R, reverse gear remains engaged. When stopping on gradients, engage parking brake or depress the foot brake. To prevent overheating of the clutch, an intermittent audible warning may sound as a signal to depress the foot brake or apply the parking brake. Switch off engine if stopping for a lengthy period, e.g. in traffic jams. When the vehicle is parked and the driver's door is opened, a warning chime will sound if neutral is not selected or the foot brake has not been depressed. Rocking the vehicle Engine braking Parking Automatic mode When driving downhill, the manual transmission automated does not shift into higher gears until a fairly high engine speed has been reached. It shifts down in good time when braking. Manual mode To utilise the engine braking effect, select a lower gear in good time when driving downhill. 109 Rocking the vehicle is only permissible if the vehicle is stuck in sand, mud, snow or a hole. Move the selector lever between R and A/M (or between + and -) in a repeat pattern, while applying light pressure to the accelerator pedal. Do not race the engine and avoid sudden acceleration. Apply the parking brake. The most recently engaged gear (see transmission display) remains engaged. With N, no gear is engaged. When the ignition is switched off, the transmission no longer responds to movement of the selector lever. If the ignition is not switched off, or the parking brake has not been applied, a warning chime will sound upon opening the driver's door. 110 Driving and operating Manual mode If a higher gear is selected when the engine speed is too low, or a lower gear when the speed is too high, the shift is not executed. This prevents the engine from running at too low or too high an engine speed. If engine speed is too low, the transmission automatically shifts to a lower gear. If engine speed is too high, the transmission only switches to a higher gear via kickdown. Electronic driving programmes Winter mode V Deactivation The Winter mode is switched off by: ■ pressing the V button again, ■ turning off the ignition, ■ switching to manual mode. In order to protect the transmission at extremely high clutch temperatures, an intermittent audible warning may sound. In such cases, depress the foot brake, select "N" and apply the parking brake to allow the clutch to cool down. Laden mode kg Activate the Winter mode if you have problems starting off on a slippery road surface. Activation Press the V button. Control indicator V is shown in the transmission display. The transmission switches to automatic mode and the vehicle starts off in a suitable gear. Driving and operating It is possible to use the Laden mode in both manual and automatic modes. In both cases, the gearshifting patterns are adapted automatically for carrying an increased payload. Activation Press the kg button. Control indicator kg is shown in the transmission display. The transmission will then select optimized gearshift patterns. Deactivation The Laden mode is switched off by: ■ pressing the kg button again, ■ turning off the ignition. Kickdown If the accelerator pedal is pressed past the pressure point, the transmission shifts to a lower gear depending on engine speed. Full engine power is available for acceleration. If engine speed is too high the transmission switches to a higher gear, even in manual mode. Without kickdown this automatic shift is not effected in manual mode. Fault In the event of a fault, control indicator W is shown in the transmission display. Continued driving is possible provided the vehicle is driven with care and anticipation. Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop. Interruption of power supply The clutch is not disengaged if there is an interruption of the power supply when a gear is engaged. The vehicle cannot move. If the battery is discharged, start the vehicle using jump leads 3 152. If the cause of the fault is not a discharged battery, seek the assistance of a workshop. If neutral cannot be selected, the vehicle must only be towed with the drive wheels raised off the ground 3 154. Towing the vehicle 3 154. 111 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 3 74. If the brake pads wear to a predetermined point, the braking system will require inspection. Seek the assistance of a workshop. Control indicator F 3 74. 112 Driving and operating Antilock brake system Antilock brake system (ABS) prevents the wheels from locking. 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 through 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. Control indicator u 3 75. Fault If control indicators u and A illuminate with the messages CHECK ABS and CHECK ESP in the Driver Information Centre, there is a fault in the ABS. The brake system remains operational but without ABS regulation. 9 Warning Parking brake If there is a fault in the ABS, the wheels may be liable to lock due to braking that is heavier than normal. The advantages of ABS are no longer available. During hard braking, the vehicle can no longer be steered and may swerve. If control indicators u, A, R and C illuminate, the ABS and ESP are deactivated and the message BRAKING FAULT is shown in the Driver Information Centre. Seek the assistance of a workshop. Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop. Always apply parking brake firmly without operating the release button, and apply as firmly as possible on a downhill or uphill slope. To release the parking brake, pull the lever up slightly, press the release button and fully lower the lever. To reduce the operating forces of the parking brake, depress the foot brake at the same time. Control indicator R 3 74. Driving and operating Brake assist If the brake pedal is depressed quickly and forcefully, maximum brake force is automatically applied (full braking). Maintain steady pressure on the brake pedal for as long as full braking is required. Maximum brake force is automatically reduced when the brake pedal is released. Ride control systems Traction Control system The Traction control system (TC) is a component part of the Electronic stability program (ESP®Plus) which improves driving stability when necessary, regardless of the type of road surface or tyre grip, by preventing the drive wheels from spinning. As soon as the drive wheels starts to spin, engine output is reduced and the wheel spinning the most is braked individually. This considerably improves the driving stability of the vehicle on slippery road surfaces. TC is operational as soon as the ignition is switched on and control indicator v extinguishes in the instrument cluster. When TC is active v flashes. 113 9 Warning Do not let this special safety feature tempt you into taking risks when driving. Adapt speed to the road conditions. Control indicator v 3 75. Deactivation When spinning of the drive wheels is required TC can be deactivated: 114 Driving and operating Press the v button. Control indicator v illuminates in the instrument cluster. TC is reactivated by pressing the v button again. Control indicator v extinguishes in the instrument cluster. TC is also reactivated the next time the ignition is switched on. When vehicle speed reaches 30 mph the TC function will be restored automatically. Electronic stability program The Electronic stability program (ESP®Plus) improves driving stability when necessary, regardless of the type of road surface or tyre grip. It also prevents the drive wheels from spinning. As soon as the vehicle starts to swerve (understeer/oversteer), engine output is reduced and the wheels are braked individually. This considerably improves the driving stability of the vehicle on slippery road surfaces. ESP®Plus is operational as soon as the ignition is switched on and control indicator v extinguishes in the instrument cluster. When ESP®Plus comes into action v flashes. Deactivation 9 Warning Do not let this special safety feature tempt you into taking risks when driving. Adapt speed to the road conditions. Control indicator v 3 75. When spinning of the drive wheels is required ESP®Plus can be deactivated: Press the v button. Control indicator v illuminates in the instrument cluster and the message ESP OFF appears in the Driver Information Centre. ESP®Plus is reactivated by pressing the v button again. Control indicator v extinguishes in the instrument cluster. ESP®Plus is also reactivated the next time the ignition is switched on. Driving and operating When vehicle speed reaches 30 mph the ESP®Plus function will be restored automatically. Fault If the system detects a fault, control indicator A illuminates in the instrument cluster and the message CHECK ESP appears in the Driver Information Centre. Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop. Vehicle messages 3 78. Cruise control The cruise control can store and maintain speeds of 20 mph and above. Deviations from the stored speeds may occur when driving uphill or downhill. For safety reasons the cruise control cannot be activated until the foot brake has been operated once. Do not use the cruise control if it is not advisable to maintain a constant speed. With manual transmission automated, only activate cruise control in automatic mode. Control indicators m and U 3 77. 115 Activation Press switch m, control indicator U illuminates green in the instrument cluster. Cruise control is now in standby mode and a corresponding message appears in the Driver Information Centre. 116 Driving and operating Increase speed With cruise control active, the vehicle speed can be increased continuously or in small increments by holding down or tapping switch < repeatedly. When the switch is released the current speed is stored and maintained. Alternatively, accelerate to the desired speed and store by pressing switch <. Accelerate to the desired speed and press switch < or ]. The current speed is now stored and maintained and the accelerator pedal can be released. Control indicator m illuminates green in the instrument cluster together with U and a corresponding message appears in the Driver Information Centre. Vehicle speed can be increased by depressing the accelerator pedal. The stored speed flashes in the instrument cluster. When the accelerator pedal is released, the previously stored speed is resumed. The speed is saved until the ignition is switched off. Reduce speed With cruise control active, the vehicle speed can be decreased continuously or in small increments by holding down or tapping switch ] repeatedly. When the switch is released the current speed is stored and maintained. Deactivation Press switch §: cruise control is deactivated and the green control indicator m extinguishes in the instrument cluster. Driving and operating Automatic deactivation: ■ Vehicle speed drops below 20 mph, ■ The brake pedal is depressed, ■ The clutch pedal is depressed, ■ Selector lever in N. The speed is stored and a corresponding message appears in the Driver Information Centre. Activation Deleting the stored speed Press switch m: Green control indicators U and m extinguish in the instrument cluster. Cruise control speed limiter The speed limiter prevents the vehicle exceeding a preset maximum speed above 20 mph. Where the limit speed cannot be maintained, e.g. when driving on a steep decline, the limit speed will flash in the Driver Information Centre. Increase limit speed The limit speed can be increased continuously or in small increments by holding down or tapping switch < repeatedly. Resume stored speed Press switch R at a speed above 20 mph. If the stored speed is much higher than the current speed, the vehicle will accelerate powerfully until the stored speed is obtained. 117 Press switch U, control indicator U illuminates yellow in the instrument cluster. Cruise control speed limiter function is now in standby mode and a corresponding message appears in the Driver Information Centre. Accelerate to the desired speed and press switch < or ]. The current speed is recorded. The vehicle can be driven normally but it will not be possible to exceed the programmed speed limit except in an emergency. Reduce limit speed The limit speed can be decreased continuously or in small increments by holding down or tapping switch ] repeatedly. Exceeding the limit speed In the event of an emergency it is possible to exceed the limit speed by depressing the accelerator pedal firmly beyond the point of resistance. The limit speed will flash in the Driver Information Centre during this period. Release the accelerator pedal and the speed limiter function is reactivated once a speed lower than the limit speed is obtained. 118 Driving and operating Deactivation Press switch §: speed limiter is deactivated and the vehicle can be driven normally. The limit speed is stored and a corresponding message appears in the Driver Information Centre. Reactivation Press switch R. The speed limiter function is reactivated. Object detection systems Parking assist The parking assist makes reverse parking easier by measuring the distance between the rear of the vehicle and obstacles. It is the driver, however, who bears full responsibility for parking. Deleting the limit speed Press switch U. Yellow control indicator U extinguishes in the instrument cluster. Note Attached parts in the detection area cause system malfunction. Activation When reverse gear is engaged, the system switches itself on automatically. Readiness for operation is indicated by a brief acoustic alarm. An obstacle is indicated by buzzers. The interval between the buzzers becomes shorter as the vehicle gets closer to the obstacle. When the distance is less than 1 ft, the buzzer is continuous. 9 Warning The system consists of four ultrasonic parking sensors in the rear bumper. 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. Driving and operating Deactivation It is possible to deactivate or temporarily deactivate the system. Temporary deactivation Temporarily deactivate the system by pressing the r button on the instrument panel with the ignition on and reverse gear engaged. Control indicator in the button illuminates. When reverse gear is selected no acoustic signal will sound, indicating deactivation. The function is reactivated by pressing button r again or the next time the ignition is switched on. Permanent deactivation Permanently deactivate the system by pressing and holding the r button on the instrument panel for approx. 3 seconds with the ignition on and reverse gear engaged. Control indicator in the button illuminates continuously. The system is deactivated and will not operate. When reverse gear is selected no acoustic signal will sound, indicating deactivation. The function is reactivated by pressing and holding button r for approx. 3 seconds. Fault If the system detects an operating fault, a continuous acoustic alarm will sound for approx. 5 seconds when selecting reverse gear. Consult a workshop to have the cause of the fault remedied. 119 Caution When reversing, the area should be free from obstacles which could impact on the underside of the vehicle. Impact to the rear axle, which may not be visible, could lead to uncharacteristic changes in the vehicle handling. In the event of such an impact, consult a workshop. Rear view camera 120 Driving and operating The camera is typically installed under the number plate moulding with a display monitor fitted to the driver's sun visor. Functionality The rear view camera system enables the driver to view the rear of the vehicle in the display monitor whilst reversing. The system can be activated or deactivated by selecting the Start/Stop button located on the righthand side of the display monitor. The remaining buttons on the monitor enable the user to select source AV1 or AV2 and adjust the brightness and contrast of the display monitor. To achieve the optimum visibility, the rear view camera must not be obscured by dirt, snow or ice. 9 Warning The system is intended as a reversing aid and does not replace driver vision. Do not let this feature tempt you into take risks when reversing. Failure to use proper care when reversing may result in damage to the vehicle, injury, or death. Always check the outside, rearview mirrors and glance over your shoulder before reversing. The driver assistance systems do not relieve the driver from full responsibility for vehicle operation. Fuel Fuel for diesel engines Only use diesel fuel that complies with DIN EN 590. The fuel must have low sulphur content (max. 10 ppm). Equivalent standardised fuels with a biodiesel (= FAME according to EN14214) content of max. 7% by volume (like DIN 51628 or equivalent standards) may be used. Do not use marine diesel oils, heating oils or entirely plant-based diesel fuels, such as rape seed oil or bio diesel, Aquazole and similar dieselwater emulsions. Diesel fuels must not be diluted with fuels for petrol engines. The flow and filterability of diesel fuels are temperature-dependent. When temperatures are low, refuel with diesel fuel with guaranteed winter properties. Driving and operating Refuelling 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. Caution In case of misfuelling, do not switch on ignition. The fuel tank filler neck with bayonet cap is located on the left front side of the vehicle. The fuel filler flap can only be opened if the vehicle is unlocked and the door is opened. Open the fuel filler flap by hand. 9 Danger Fuel is flammable and explosive. No smoking. No naked flames or sparks. If you can smell fuel in your vehicle, have the cause of this remedied immediately by a workshop. Remove the fuel filler cap by turning it anti-clockwise. 121 The fuel filler cap can be hung on the lower hook of the fuel filler flap. When refuelling is complete, replace the filler cap and turn it clockwise. Caution Wipe off any overflowing fuel immediately. Fuel consumption - CO2Emissions The determination of fuel consumption is regulated by European directive 715/2007 692/2008 A. The directive is oriented to actual driving practices: Urban driving is rated at approx. 1/3 and extra urban driving at approx. 2/3. Cold starts and acceleration phases are also taken into consideration. The specification of CO2 emission is also a constituent of the directive. 122 Driving and operating Fuel consumption is dependent on personal driving style as well as road and traffic conditions. The calculation of fuel consumption takes into account the vehicle's kerb weight, ascertained in accordance with the regulations. Optional equipment may result in slightly higher fuel consumption and CO2 emission levels and a lower maximum speed. Towing General information Only use towing equipment that has been approved for your vehicle. Entrust fitting of towing equipment at a later date to a workshop. It may be necessary to make changes that affect the cooling system, heat shields or other equipment. Installation dimensions of factoryfitted towing equipment 3 181. A maximum speed of 50 mph must not be exceeded, even in countries where higher speeds are permitted. 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 3 180. Driving characteristics and towing tips Trailer towing In the case of trailers with brakes, attach the breakaway stopping cable. 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 the use of a stabiliser is recommended. The permissible trailer loads are vehicle-dependent and enginedependent 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. Trailer loads Driving and operating The permissible trailer loads are specified in the vehicle documents. In general, they are valid for gradients up to max. 12 %. The permitted trailer load applies 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 3 163. 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. The maximum permissible vertical coupling load 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. In the case of trailer loads of 1200 kg or more, the vertical coupling load should not be less than 50 kg. Rear axle load When the trailer is coupled and the towing vehicle fully loaded (including all occupants), the permissible rear axle load (see identification plate or vehicle documents) must not be exceeded. Towing equipment Caution When operating without a trailer, remove the coupling ball bar. Towing equipment audible warning 123 For vehicles fitted with towing equipment, when connected to a trailer the pitch of the audible warning changes upon operation of the turn signals. The pitch of the audible warning will change if a turn signal light on the trailer or the towing vehicle fails. 124 Driving and operating Auxiliary features Power take-off To activate, with the vehicle stationary and the engine idling: ■ Select neutral (MTA = N) ■ Depress the clutch pedal ■ Press switch on the instrument panel ■ Release clutch pedal The engine idle speed increases to 1,200 rpm. If the system does not operate, repeat the procedure or gradually release the clutch pedal. To deactivate, depress the clutch pedal and press switch on the instrument panel. Vehicle care Vehicle care General Information ................... 125 Vehicle checks ........................... 126 Bulb replacement ....................... 132 Electrical system ........................ 139 Vehicle tools .............................. 142 Wheels and tyres ....................... 143 Jump starting ............................. 152 Towing ....................................... 154 Appearance care ....................... 156 General Information Accessories and vehicle modifications We recommend the use of Genuine Parts and Accessories and factory approved parts specific for your vehicle type.

Ensure that the correct specification of oil is used. Recommended fluids and lubricants 3 160. Check with the vehicle on a level surface. The engine must be at operating temperature and switched off for at least 10 minutes. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, insert it to the stop on the handle, pull out and read the engine oil level. When the engine oil level has dropped to the MIN mark, top up engine oil. Caution Secure the bonnet support. Do not allow the engine oil level to drop below the minimum level! 128 Vehicle care thousand miles. Only then can the actual degree of consumption be established. If consumption exceeds more than 0.5 litres every 600 miles after this running-in period, consult a workshop. Capacities 3 179, Engine oil level monitor 3 69. Fit the cap on straight and tighten it. We recommend the use of the same type of engine oil that was used at the last change. The engine oil level must not exceed the maximum mark MAX on the dipstick. Caution Overfilled engine oil must be drained or suctioned out. A stabilization of the engine oil consumption will not take place until the vehicle has been driven several Engine coolant The coolant provides freeze protection down to approx. -28 °C. Caution Only use approved antifreeze. Coolant level Caution Too low a coolant level can cause engine damage. If the cooling system is cold, the coolant level should be just above the MINI mark. Top up if the level is low. 9 Warning Allow the engine to cool before opening the cap. Carefully open the cap, relieving the pressure slowly. Top up with antifreeze. If no antifreeze is available, use clean tap water or distilled water. Install the cap tightly. Have the antifreeze Vehicle care concentration checked and have the cause of the coolant loss remedied by a workshop. If a substantial amount of coolant is required, it will be necessary to bleed any trapped air from the cooling system. Seek the assistance of a workshop. Washer fluid 129 Once new brake linings are installed, do not brake unnecessarily hard for the first few journeys. Brake pad wear indicator F 3 74. Brake fluid 9 Warning Power steering fluid Brake fluid is poisonous and corrosive. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, fabrics and painted surfaces. Fill with clean water mixed with a suitable quantity of windscreen washer fluid which contains antifreeze. Brakes If the fluid level in the reservoir falls below the MINI mark consult a workshop. A squealing noise, or illumination of brake pad wear control indicator F indicates that the brake lining is at its minimum thickness. Continued driving is possible but have the brake linings replaced as soon as possible. The brake fluid level must be between the MIN and MAX marks. 130 Vehicle care When topping up, ensure maximum cleanliness as contamination of the brake fluid can lead to brake system malfunctions. Have the cause of the loss of brake fluid remedied by a workshop. Only use brake fluid approved for your vehicle. Brake and clutch fluid 3 160. Battery access Diesel fuel filter The battery is located behind a panel in the front left-hand door step. Remove the panel to access the battery. Drain diesel fuel filter of residual water at every engine oil change. Place a container underneath the filter housing. Loosen the knurled screws on the filter cover and on the lower part of the filter by approx. one turn, to drain off the water. The filter is drained as soon as diesel fuel emerges from the knurled screw at the bottom. Retighten the two screws. Check diesel fuel filter at shorter intervals if the vehicle is subjected to extreme operating conditions. Battery The vehicle battery is maintenancefree. Batteries do not belong in household waste. They must be disposed of at an appropriate recycling collection point. Laying up the vehicle for more than 4 weeks can lead to battery discharge. Disconnect the clamp from the negative terminal of the vehicle battery. Ensure the ignition is switched off before connecting or disconnecting the vehicle battery. Additional battery Depending on the vehicle's auxiliary equipment, certain models may have an additional battery mounted under the front seat. Vehicle care Diesel fuel system bleeding 3. Manually operate the in-line supply pump slowly and steadily until fuel discharging from the loosened vent screw is free of air bubbles. 4. Retighten the vent screw. If the engine cannot be started after several attempts to bleed the diesel fuel system, seek the assistance of a workshop. Wiper blade replacement Wiper blades on the windscreen If the fuel tank has been run dry, it will be necessary to air vent or bleed the diesel fuel system.

Seek the assistance of a workshop in the event of damage or unusual wear. Tyres Factory-fitted tyres are matched to the chassis and offer optimum driving comfort and safety. Winter tyres Winter tyres improve driving safety at temperatures below 7 °C and should therefore be fitted on all wheels. 143 In accordance with country-specific regulations, a notice indicating the maximum permissible speed for the tyres must be affixed within the driver's field of vision. Tyre designations E.g. 215/65 R 16 C 109 R 215 = Tyre width, mm 65 = Cross-section ratio (tyre height to tyre width), % R = Belt type: Radial RF = Type: RunFlat 16 = Wheel diameter, inches C = Cargo or commercial use 88 = Load index e.g. 109 is equivalent to approx. 1030 kg R = 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 144 Vehicle care Tyre pressure Check the pressure of cold tyres at least every 14 days and before any long journey. Do not forget the spare wheel. Tyre pressures 3 180. 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. 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. Rear-wheel drive, with twin rear wheels When inflating the outer tyre, the inflation tube should be passed between the two wheels. 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 tyres 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. Tyres age, even if they are not used. We recommend tyre replacement every 6 years. Vehicle care 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 as well as the nominal tyre pressure and make other vehicle modifications. 9 Warning Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel covers could lead to sudden pressure loss and thereby accidents. Tyre chains 9 Warning Use of unsuitable tyres or wheels may lead to accidents and will invalidate the vehicle type approval. 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. Tyre chains are only permitted on the drive wheels. On vehicles with twin rear wheels, tyre chains are only permitted on the outer wheels. 145 Always use fine mesh chains that add no more than 15 mm to the tyre tread and the inboard sides (including chain lock). 9 Warning Damage may lead to tyre blowout. Wheel covers on steel wheels may come into contact with parts of the chains. In such cases, remove the wheel covers. Tyre chains may only be used at speeds up to 30 mph and, when travelling on roads that are free of snow, they may only be used for brief periods since they are subject to rapid wear on a hard road and may snap. The use of tyre chains is not permitted on the temporary spare wheel. Tyre repair kit Minor damage to the tyre tread or sidewall can be repaired with the tyre repair kit. 146 Vehicle care Do not remove foreign bodies from the tyres. Tyre damage exceeding 4 mm or that is at the tyre's sidewall near the rim cannot be repaired with the tyre repair kit. 9 Warning Do not drive faster than 50 mph. Do not use for a lengthy period. Steering and handling may be affected. If the vehicle has a flat tyre: Apply the parking brake and engage first gear or reverse gear. The tyre repair kit is located under the front seat. Slide seat forwards fully and fold backrest down to access kit. 1. Remove the compressor from the tyre repair kit. 2. Remove the electrical connection cable and air hose from the compartments on the underside of the compressor. 3. Screw the compressor air hose to the connection on the sealant bottle. 4. Fit the sealant bottle into the retainer on the compressor. Set the compressor near the tyre in such a way that the sealant bottle is upright. 5. Unscrew valve cap from defective tyre. Vehicle care 8. Connect the red < power supply lead on the compressor to the jump start terminal 3 152. 9. Connect the black ] power supply lead to a vehicle grounding point, such as the engine block or an engine mounting bolt. To avoid discharging the battery, we recommend running the engine. 147 11. The compressor pressure gauge briefly indicates up to 6 bar. Then the pressure starts to drop. 12. All of the sealant is pumped into the tyre. Then the tyre is inflated. 6. Screw the filler hose to the tyre valve. 7. The switch on the compressor must be set to O. 10. Set the rocker switch on the compressor to I. The tyre is filled with sealant. 13. The prescribed tyre pressure should be obtained within 10 minutes. Tyre pressure 3 180. When the correct pressure is obtained, switch off the compressor. If the prescribed tyre pressure is not obtained within 10 minutes, remove the tyre repair kit. Move the vehicle one tyre rotation (approx. 2 metres). Reattach the 148 Vehicle care tyre repair kit and continue the filling procedure for 10 minutes. If the prescribed tyre pressure is still not obtained, the tyre is too badly damaged. Seek the assistance of a workshop. Drain excess tyre pressure with the button above the pressure indicator. Do not run the compressor for longer than 10 minutes. 14. Detach the tyre repair kit. Screw the tyre inflation hose to the free connection on the sealant bottle. This prevents sealant from escaping. Stow tyre repair kit under the front seat. 15. Remove any excess sealant using a cloth. 16. Take the label indicating maximum permitted speed from the tyre repair kit and affix in the driver's field of view. not be driven. Seek the assistance of a workshop. 19. Stow tyre repair kit under the front seat. 9 Warning Do not allow the sealant to contact skin, eyes or clothing. If swallowed seek medical assistance immediately. 17. Continue driving immediately so that the sealant is evenly distributed throughout the tyre. After driving approx. 6 miles, but no more than 10 minutes, stop and check tyre pressure using the compressor. Screw compressor air hose directly onto tyre valve and compressor when doing this. 18. If the tyre pressure is more than 3.1 bar, set it to the correct value. Repeat the procedure until there is no more loss of pressure. If the tyre pressure has fallen below 3.1 bar, the vehicle must Note The driving characteristics of the repaired tyre are severely affected, therefore have this tyre replaced. If unusual noise is heard or the compressor becomes hot, turn compressor off for at least 30 minutes. The built-in safety valve opens at a pressure of 7 bar (102 psi). Note the expiry date of the kit. After this date its sealing capability is no longer guaranteed. Pay attention to storage information on sealant bottle. Vehicle care Replace the used sealant bottle. Dispose of the bottle as prescribed by applicable laws. The compressor and sealant can be used from approx. -30 °C. The adapters supplied can be used to pump up other items e.g. footballs, air mattresses, inflatable dinghies etc. They are located on the underside of the compressor. To remove, screw on compressor air hose and withdraw adapter. Wheel changing Some vehicles are equipped with a tyre repair kit instead of a spare wheel 3 145. Make the following preparations and observe the following information: ■ Park the vehicle on a level, firm and non-slippery surface. The front wheels must be in the straightahead position. ■ Apply the parking brake and engage first gear or reverse gear. ■ Switch off the air suspension system 3 104. ■ Remove the spare wheel 3 151. ■ Never change more than one wheel at a time. ■ Use the jack only to change wheels in case of puncture, not for seasonal winter or summer tyre change. ■ If the ground on which the vehicle is standing is soft, a solid board (max. 1 cm thick) should be placed under the jack. ■ No people or animals may be in the vehicle when it is jacked-up. ■ Never crawl under a jacked-up vehicle. ■ Do not start the engine when the vehicle is raised on the jack. ■ Clean wheel bolts/nuts and their threads before mounting the wheel. 9 Warning Do not grease wheel bolt, wheel nut and wheel nut cone. 149 1. Remove the wheel cover using the hook supplied. Vehicle tools 3 142. 2. Install the wheel wrench ensuring that it locates securely and loosen each wheel bolt/nut by half a turn. 150 Vehicle care 4. 3. Vehicles with Front-wheel drive: Raise vehicle by placing lifting pad spigot of the jack under the jacking hole located nearest the wheel concerned. Ensure the jack is positioned correctly. The jack base must be on the ground directly below the jacking hole in a manner that prevents it from slipping. Attach wheel wrench onto the jack and raise the vehicle by turning the wrench until the wheel is clear of the ground. Vehicles with Rear-wheel drive: Pay attention to the operating instructions supplied with the hydraulic jack and assemble the parts required as specified. Position the adapter at the jacking hole located nearest the wheel concerned. Ensure the jack is positioned correctly. The jack head must be level with the jacking hole. Pump the jack by pressing the wheel wrench, to position the base plate correctly. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Raise the vehicle by pressing the wheel wrench until the wheel is clear of the ground. Unscrew wheel bolts/nuts completely and wipe clean with a cloth. Put wheel bolts/nuts somewhere where the threads will not be soiled. Change the wheel. Screw in the wheel bolts/nuts. Lower vehicle. Install the wheel wrench ensuring that it locates securely and tighten each wheel bolt/nut in a crosswise sequence. Tightening torque is: 172 Nm (Front-wheel drive), 235 Nm (Rear-wheel drive with twin rear wheels), 264 Nm (Rearwheel drive with single rear wheels). Refit wheel cover. Vehicle care 151 10. Stow the replaced wheel 3 151 and the vehicle tools 3 142. 11. Have the new wheel balanced on the vehicle. Check the tyre pressure of the installed tyre 3 180 and also the wheel bolt/nut torque as soon as possible. Have the defective tyre renewed or repaired. Spare wheel Some vehicles are equipped with a tyre repair kit instead of a spare wheel 3 145. 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 held under the vehicle frame using a winch and secured by tightening a cable using the wheel wrench and adapter. It may be necessary to jack the vehicle up to gain access to the spare wheel on a fully loaded vehicle with a flat rear tyre. To release the spare wheel, loosen cable using the wheel wrench and adapter and lower the wheel fully. Caution Only use the wheel wrench and adapter to lower the spare wheel. The use of pneumatic tools is prohibited. This may result in damage to the winch cable and equipment. Place wheel upright, remove pin from retainer and release the wheel from the cable. Twin rear wheel vehicles have an additional mounting plate attached to the spare wheel. Before using the wheel, undo the nut and remove the mounting plate. 152 Vehicle care Summer and winter tyres If you use winter tyres, the spare wheel may still be fitted with a summer tyre. If you use the spare wheel when it is fitted with a summer tyre the vehicle's driveability may be affected, especially on slippery road surfaces. Directional tyres When reinstalling a spare wheel, attach the mounting plate and secure with the nut. When installing a spare wheel, route the cable from the back and through the centre of the wheel. Attach the retainer and pin, ensuring it is correctly positioned and that the front of the wheel will be facing downwards. Tighten cable using the wheel wrench and adapter until the wheel is secured. 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. ■ Do not drive faster than 50 mph. ■ Drive particularly carefully on wet and snow-covered road surfaces. Jump starting Do not start with a quick charger. A vehicle with a discharged battery can be started using jump leads and the battery of another vehicle. 9 Warning Be extremely careful when starting with jump leads. Any deviation from the following instructions can lead to injuries or damage caused by battery explosion or damage to the electrical systems of both vehicles. 9 Warning Avoid contact with eyes, skin, fabrics, and painted surfaces. The fluid contains sulphuric acid which can cause injuries and damage in the event of direct contact. Vehicle care Caution The air suspension system must be switched off prior to jump starting. ■ Never expose the battery to naked flames or sparks. ■ A discharged battery can already freeze at a temperature of 0 °C. Defrost the frozen battery before connecting jump leads. ■ Avoid contact with eyes, skin, fabrics and painted surfaces. The fluid contains sulphuric acid which can cause injuries and damage in the event of direct contact. ■ Wear eye protection and protective clothing when handling a battery. ■ Use a booster battery with the same voltage (12 volts). Its capacity (Ah) must not be much less than that of the discharged battery. ■ Use jump leads with insulated terminals and a cross section of at least 25 mm2. ■ Do not disconnect the discharged battery from the vehicle. ■ Switch off all unnecessary electrical consumers. ■ Switch off the air suspension system. ■ Do not lean over the battery during jump starting. ■ Do not allow the terminals of one lead to touch those of the other lead. ■ The vehicles must not come into contact with each other during the jump starting process. ■ Apply the parking brake, transmission in neutral. 153 Jump start terminal In the event of a discharged battery, the jump start terminal enables the vehicle to be started without the need to access the battery inside the vehicle. The jump start terminal is located in the engine compartment and identified by a "<" sign on the red insulating cover. Lift the red insulating cover to access the terminal connector. Ensure the red insulating cover is latched back into position when not in use. 154 Vehicle care Jump starting procedure Lead connection order: 1. Connect the red lead to the positive terminal of the booster battery. 2. Connect the other end of the red lead to the jump start terminal of the vehicle with the discharged battery. 3. Connect the black lead to the negative terminal of the booster battery. 4. Connect the other end of the black lead to a vehicle grounding point, such as the engine block or an engine mounting bolt. Connect as far away from the discharged battery as possible, however at least 60 cm. Route the leads so that they cannot catch on rotating parts in the engine compartment. To start the engine: 1. Start the engine of the vehicle providing the jump start. 2. After 5 minutes, start the other engine. Start attempts should be made for no longer than 15 seconds at an interval of 1 minute. 3. Allow both engines to idle for approx. 3 minutes with the leads connected. 4. Switch on electrical consumers (e.g. headlights, heated rear window) of the vehicle receiving the jump start. 5. Reverse above sequence exactly when removing leads. Towing Towing the vehicle The towing eye is stowed with the vehicle tools 3 142. Disengage the cover using a suitable tool and remove. Screw the towing eye clockwise into the front towing point and tighten fully using the wheel wrench. Attach a tow rope - or better still a tow rod - to the towing eye, never to the bumper or front suspension units. Vehicle care Caution Do not tow the vehicle from the rear. The front towing eye must only be used for towing and not recovering a vehicle. Switch on ignition to release steering wheel lock and to permit operation of brake lights, horn and windscreen wipers. Switch off the air suspension system 3 104. Transmission in neutral. If neutral cannot be selected on vehicles with MTA transmission, the vehicle must only be towed with the drive wheels raised off the ground. To prevent the entry of exhaust fumes from the towing vehicle, switch on the air recirculation system and close the windows. Seek the assistance of a workshop. After towing, unscrew the towing eye and refit the cover. Towing another vehicle Caution Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily. Excessive tractive force can damage the vehicle. When the engine is not running, considerably more force is needed to brake and steer. Attach a tow rope - or better still a tow rod - to the rear towing eye, never to the rear axle and suspension units. The rear towing eye must only be used for towing and not recovering a vehicle. 155 Caution Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily. Excessive tractive force can damage the vehicle. 156 Vehicle care 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 vehicle 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 vehicle wash, comply with the vehicle wash manufacturer's instructions. The windscreen wipers 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 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. Wheels and tyres Do not use high-pressure jet cleaners. 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. Towing equipment Do not clean the coupling ball bar with a steam-jet or high-pressure jet cleaner. 157 Interior care Interior and upholstery Only clean the vehicle interior, including the instrument panel fascia and panelling, with a dry cloth or interior cleaner. The instrument panel 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. 158 Vehicle care 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. Service and maintenance Service and maintenance General information ................... 159 Recommended fluids, lubricants and parts .................................... 160 General information Service information In order to ensure economical and safe vehicle operation and to maintain the value of your vehicle, it is of vital importance that all maintenance work is carried out at the proper intervals as specified.

Confirmations Confirmation of service is recorded in the Service and Warranty Booklet. The date and mileage is completed with the stamp and signature of the servicing workshop. Make sure that the Service and Warranty Booklet is completed correctly as continuous proof of 160 Service and maintenance service is essential if any warranty or goodwill claims are to be met, and is also a benefit when selling the vehicle. Service display The service interval is based on several parameters depending on usage. The service display, located in the Driver Information Centre, indicates when the next service is due. Seek the assistance of a workshop. Service display 3 70. Engine oil lever monitor 3 69. Recommended fluids, lubricants and parts Recommended fluids and lubricants Only use products that meet the recommended specifications. Damage resulting from the use of products not in line with these specifications will not be covered by the warranty. 9 Warning Operating materials are hazardous and could be poisonous. Handle with care. Pay attention to information given on the containers. Engine oil Engine oil is identified by its quality and its viscosity. Quality is more important than viscosity when selecting which engine oil to use. The oil quality ensures e.g. engine cleanliness, wear protection and oil 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 diesel engines. If it is unavailable, engine oils of other listed qualities have to be used. Select the appropriate engine oil based on its quality and on the minimum ambient temperature 3 164. 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 3 164. Service and maintenance 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 3 164. All of the recommended viscosity grades are suitable for high ambient temperatures. Coolant and antifreeze Use only silicate-free long life coolant (LLC) antifreeze approved for the vehicle, consult a workshop. 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 fluid Only use DOT4 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. 161 162 Technical data Technical data Vehicle identification .................. 162 Vehicle data ............................... 164 Vehicle identification Vehicle Identification Number The VIN is also displayed behind a removable plastic cover on the front right hand door step.

Some data may be stored during regular operation to facilitate repair of detected malfunctions, other data is stored only in a crash or near crash event by modules in your vehicle systems that have an event data recording function such as the airbag control module. The systems may record diagnostic data about the condition of the vehicle (e.g. oil level or vehicle mileage) and information how it was operated (e.g. engine speed, brake application and seat belt usage). To read this data, special equipment and access to the vehicle is required. Some diagnostic data is electronically fed into Vauxhall global systems when the vehicle is serviced in a workshop, in order to document the 183 service history of the vehicle. This enables the workshop to offer you efficient maintenance and repair, tailored to your individual vehicle, each time you bring it back to the workshop. The manufacturer will not access driver's behaviour related information about a crash event or share it with others except: ■ with the consent of the vehicle owner or, if the vehicle is leased, of the lessee ■ in response to an official request of police or similar government office ■ as part of the manufacturer's defense in case of legal proceedings ■ as required by law 184 Customer information In addition, the manufacturer may use the collected or received diagnostic data: ■ for the manufacturer's research needs ■ to make it available for research needs where appropriate confidentiality is maintained and need is shown ■ to share summary data which is not tied to a specific vehicle with other organisations for research purposes Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) RFID technology is used in some vehicles for functions such as tyre pressure monitoring 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. Customer information 185 186 Index A
