3 : engine start: Release key afterstarting procedure begins

Steering wheel lockRemove key from ignition switch andturn steering wheel until it engages.

9 Danger

Never remove the key fromignition switch during driving asthis will cause steering wheel lock.

Retained power offThe following electronic systems canwork until the driver's door is openedor for ten minutes after the ignition isswitched off:● power windows● power outlets

Starting the engine

Turn key to position 1 to release thesteering wheel lock.Manual transmission: operate clutchand brake pedal.Automatic transmission: operatebrake pedal and move selector leverto P or N.Do not operate the accelerator pedal.Diesel engines: turn the key toposition 2 for preheating and wait untilcontrol indicator ! extinguishes.


Turn key briefly to position 3 andrelease: an automatic procedureoperates the starter with a short delayuntil the engine is running, seeAutomatic Starter Control.Manual transmission: during anAutostop, the engine can be startedby depressing the clutch pedal3 153.Automatic transmission: during anAutostop, the engine can be startedby releasing the brake pedal 3 153.Before restarting or to switch off theengine, turn the key back to position0.

9 Danger

Switching off the engine duringdriving may cause loss of powersupport for brake and steeringsystems. Assistance systems andairbag systems are disabled.Lighting and brake lights willextinguish. Therefore power downthe engine and ignition whiledriving only when required in caseof emergency.

Starting the vehicle at lowtemperaturesThe start of the engine withoutadditional heaters is possible down to-25 °С for diesel engines and -30 °Cfor petrol engines. Required is anengine oil with the correct viscosity,the correct fuel, performed servicesand a sufficiently charged battery.With temperatures below -30 °C theautomatic transmission need awarming phase of approx. fiveminutes. The selector lever must bein position P.

Automatic Starter ControlThis function controls the enginestarting procedure. The driver doesnot have to hold the key in position 3.Once applied, the system will go onstarting automatically until the engineis running. Because of the checkingprocedure, the engine starts runningafter a short delay.

Possible reasons for a non-startingengine:● Clutch pedal not operated

(manual transmission).● Brake pedal not operated or

selector lever not in P or N(automatic transmission).

● Timeout occurred.

Turbo engine warm-upUpon start-up, engine availabletorque may be limited for a short time,especially when the enginetemperature is cold. The limitation isto allow the lubrication system to fullyprotect the engine.

Overrun cut-offThe fuel supply is automatically cut offduring overrun, i.e. when the vehicleis driven with a gear engaged butaccelerator pedal is released.Depending on driving conditions, theoverrun cut-off may be deactivated.


Stop-start systemThe stop-start system helps to savefuel and to reduce the exhaustemissions. When conditions allow, itswitches off the engine as soon as thevehicle is at a low speed or at astandstill, e.g. at a traffic light or in atraffic jam. It starts the engineautomatically as soon as the clutch isdepressed. A vehicle battery sensorensures that an Autostop is onlyperformed if the vehicle battery issufficiently charged for a restart.

ActivationThe stop-start system is available assoon as the engine is started, thevehicle starts-off and the conditionsas stated below in this section arefulfilled.

Deactivation

Deactivate the stop-start systemmanually by pressing eco. Thedeactivation is indicated when theLED in the button extinguishes.

AutostopIf the vehicle is at a low speed or at astandstill, activate an Autostop asfollows:● Depress the clutch pedal.● Move the selector lever to

neutral.● Release the clutch pedal.

The engine will be switched off whilethe ignition stays on.

Indication

An Autostop is indicated by theneedle at the AUTOSTOP position inthe tachometer.After restart, the idle speed isindicated.During an Autostop, the heating andbrake performance will bemaintained.

Conditions for an AutostopThe stop-start system checks if eachof the following conditions is fulfilled.


● The stop-start system is notmanually deactivated.

● The bonnet is fully closed.● The driver's door is closed or the

driver's seat belt is fastened.● The vehicle battery is sufficiently

charged and in good condition.● The engine is warmed-up.● The engine coolant temperature

is not too high.● The engine exhaust temperature

is not too high, e.g. after drivingwith high engine load.

● The ambient temperature isabove -5 °C.

● The climate control systemallows an Autostop.

● The brake vacuum is sufficient.● The self-cleaning function of the

diesel particle filter is not active.● The vehicle was driven at least at

walking speed since the lastAutostop.

Otherwise an Autostop will beinhibited.

Certain settings of the climate controlsystem may inhibit an Autostop. SeeClimate control chapter for moredetails 3 143.Immediately after motorway driving,an Autostop may be inhibited.New vehicle running-in 3 150.

Vehicle battery discharge protectionTo ensure reliable engine restarts,several battery discharge protectionfeatures are implemented as part ofthe stop-start system.

Power saving measuresDuring an Autostop, several electricalfeatures such as auxiliary electricheater or rear window heating aredisabled or switched into a power-saving mode. The fan speed of theclimate control system is reduced tosave power.

NoticeIn the event of an accident withairbag deployment, the engine isturned off automatically if the vehiclecomes to a standstill within a certaintime.

Engine exhaust

9 Danger

Engine exhaust gases containpoisonous carbon monoxide,which is colourless and odourlessand could be fatal if inhaled.If exhaust gases enter the interiorof the vehicle, open the windows.Have the cause of the faultrectified by a workshop.Avoid driving with an open loadcompartment, otherwise exhaustgases could enter the vehicle.

Diesel particle filterAutomatic cleaning processThe diesel particle filter system filtersharmful soot particles out of theexhaust gases. The system includesa self-cleaning function that runsautomatically during driving withoutany notification. The filter is cleanedby periodically burning off the sootparticles at high temperature. Thisprocess takes place automaticallyunder set driving conditions and maytake up to 25 minutes. Typically itneeds between seven and twelveminutes. Autostop is not availableand fuel consumption may be higherduring this period. The emission ofsmells and smoke during this processis normal.

System requires manual cleaningprocessUnder certain driving conditions, e.g.short distances, the system cannotclean itself automatically.If cleaning of the filter is required andif previous driving conditions did notenable automatic cleaning, it will be


indicated by % and a warningmessage in the Driver InformationCentre.% with a warning messageilluminates when diesel particle filteris full. Start cleaning process as soonas possible.% with a warning message flasheswhen diesel particle filter has reachedthe maximum filling level. Startcleaning process immediately toavoid damage to the engine.

Activate manual cleaning processTo activate cleaning process,continue driving, keep engine speedabove 2000 revolutions per minute.Shift down if necessary. Dieselparticle filter cleaning is then started.Cleaning takes place quickest at highengine speeds and loads.The control indicator % extinguishesas soon as the self-cleaningoperation is complete. Keep ondriving until self-cleaning operation iscomplete.

Caution

If the cleaning process isinterrupted, there is a risk ofprovoking severe engine damage.

Cleaning process not possibleIf cleaning is not possible for anyreasons, Z illuminates and a warningmessage appears in the DriverInformation Centre. Engine powermay be reduced. Seek the assistanceof a workshop immediately.

Catalytic converterThe catalytic converter reduces theamount of harmful substances in theexhaust gases.

Caution

Fuel grades other than those listedon pages 3 197, 3 266 coulddamage the catalytic converter orelectronic components.Unburnt petrol will overheat anddamage the catalytic converter.Therefore avoid excessive use ofthe starter, running the fuel tankdry and starting the engine bypushing or towing.

In the event of misfiring, unevenengine running, a reduction in engineperformance or other unusualproblems, have the cause of the faultrectified by a workshop as soon aspossible. In an emergency, drivingcan be continued for a short period,keeping vehicle speed and enginespeed low.


AdBlueGeneral informationThe selective catalytic reduction(BlueInjection) is a method tosubstantially reduce the nitrogenoxides in the exhaust emission. Thisis achieved by injecting a DieselExhaust Fluid into the exhaustsystem. The ammonia released bythe fluid reacts with nitrous gases(NOx) from the exhaust and turns itinto nitrogen and water.The designation of this fluid isAdBlue®. It is a non-toxic, non-flammable, colourless and odourlessfluid which consists of 32% urea and68% water.

9 Warning

Avoid contact of your eyes or skinwith AdBlue.In case of eye or skin contact,rinse off with water.

Caution

Avoid contact of the paintwork withAdBlue.In case of contact, rinse off withwater.

AdBlue freezes at a temperature ofapprox. -11 °C. As the vehicle isequipped with an AdBlue pre-heater,the emissions reduction at lowtemperatures is ensured. The AdBluepre-heater works automatically.The typical AdBlue consumption isapprox. two litres per 600 miles, butcan also be higher depending ondriving behaviour (e.g. high load ortowing).

AdBlue tankAt a remaining volume of approx. fivelitres, there is a liquid level switch.Warning messages are displayedonly below that threshold. Tankvolume 3 271.

Level warningsDepending on the calculated range ofAdBlue, different messages aredisplayed in the Driver InformationCentre. The messages and therestrictions are a legal requirement.The first possible warning is AdBlueRange: 1500 mi.This warning will show up once brieflywith the calculated range. Driving ispossible without any restrictions.The next warning level is entered witha range below 1090 miles. Themessage with the current range willalways be displayed when ignition isswitched on and needs to beconfirmed 3 116. Refill AdBlue beforeentering the next warning level.At an AdBlue range below 560 miles,the following warning messages arealternately displayed and cannot bedismissed:● AdBlue Low Refill Now● Engine Restart Prevented in 560

miles.Additionally, control indicator Yflashes continuously.


NoticeIn case of high AdBlue consumption,the Driver Information Centre maydisplay this warning without theprevious warning stages.

The last warning level is enteredwhen the AdBlue tank is empty.Restart of the engine is not possible.The following warning messages arealternately displayed and cannot bedismissed:● AdBlue Empty Refill Now● Engine Will Not Restart.

Additionally, control indicator Yflashes continuously.With active prevention of an enginestart, the following message will bedisplayed:Refill AdBlue To Start Vehicle.The tank must be refilled completelywith AdBlue, otherwise restarting ofthe engine is not possible.

High emission warningsIf the exhaust emission rises above acertain value, warnings similar to therange warnings will be displayed inthe Driver Information Centre.Requests to have the exhaust systemchecked and finally theannouncement of the prevention ofan engine restart are displayed.These restrictions are a legalrequirement.Consult a workshop for assistance.

Refilling AdBlue

Caution

Only use AdBlue that complieswith European standardsDIN 70 070 and ISO 22241-1.Do not use additives.Do not dilute AdBlue.Otherwise the selective catalyticreduction system could bedamaged.

NoticeWhenever a filling pump with anozzle for passenger cars is notavailable at a filling station, use onlyAdBlue bottles or canisters with asealed refill adapter for refilling, toprevent splashback and overspill,and in order to ensure that the fumesfrom the tank are captured and donot emerge. AdBlue in bottles orcanisters is available in many fillingstations and can be purchased e.g.at Vauxhall dealers and other retailoutlets.Since AdBlue has a limiteddurability, check the date of expirybefore refilling.NoticeThe refilling of AdBlue is onlydetected by the system when theabovementioned liquid level switchin the tank is activated.In case AdBlue refill is notsuccessfully detected:


1. Continuously drive the vehiclefor 10 minutes making sure thatvehicle speed is always higherthan 12 mph.

2. If AdBlue refill is detectedsuccessfully, AdBlue supply-driven limitations will disappear.

If AdBlue refill is still not detected,seek the assistance of a workshop.If AdBlue must be refilled attemperatures below -11 °C, therefilling of AdBlue may not bedetected by the system. In thisevent, park the vehicle in a spacewith a higher ambient temperatureuntil AdBlue is liquefied.NoticeWhen unscrewing the protective capfrom the filler neck, ammonia fumesmay emerge. Do not inhale as thefumes have a pungent smell. Thefumes are not harmful by inhalation.

The AdBlue tank should be filledcompletely. This must be done if thewarning message regardingprevention of an engine restart isalready displayed.

The vehicle must be parked on a levelsurface.The filler neck for AdBlue is locatedbehind the fuel filler flap, which islocated at right rear side of thevehicle.The fuel filler flap can only be openedif the vehicle is unlocked.1. Remove key from ignition switch.2. Close all doors to avoid ammonia

fumes entering the interior of thevehicle.

3. Release the fuel filler flap bypushing the flap 3 201.

4. Unscrew protective cap from thefiller neck.

5. Open AdBlue canister.6. Mount one end of the hose on the

canister and screw the other endon the filler neck.

7. Lift the canister until it is empty, oruntil the flow from the canister hasstopped. This can take up to fiveminutes.

8. Place the canister on the groundto empty the hose, wait 15seconds.

9. Unscrew the hose from the fillerneck.

10. Mount the protective cap and turnclockwise until it engages.

NoticeDispose of AdBlue canisteraccording to environmentalrequirements. Hose can be reusedafter flushing with clear water beforeAdBlue dries out.

BrakesThe brake system comprises twoindependent brake circuits.If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle canstill be braked using the other brakecircuit. However, braking effect isachieved only when the brake pedalis depressed firmly. Considerablymore force is needed for this. Thebraking distance is extended. Seekthe assistance of a workshop beforecontinuing your journey.When the engine is not running, thesupport of the brake servo unitdisappears once the brake pedal hasbeen depressed once or twice.Braking effect is not reduced, butbraking requires significantly greaterforce. It is especially important to bearthis in mind when being towed.Control indicator R 3 111.

Antilock brake systemAntilock brake system (ABS)prevents the wheels from locking.

ABS starts to regulate brake pressureas soon as a wheel shows a tendencyto lock. The vehicle remainssteerable, even during hard braking.ABS control is made apparentthrough a pulse in the brake pedaland the noise of the regulationprocess.For optimum braking, keep the brakepedal fully depressed throughout thebraking process, despite the fact thatthe pedal is pulsating. Do not reducethe pressure on the pedal.After starting off the system performsa self-test which may be audible.

Control indicator u 3 112.

Adaptive brake lightDuring full braking, all three brakelights flash for the duration of ABScontrol.

Fault

9 Warning

If there is a fault in the ABS, thewheels may be liable to lock dueto braking that is heavier thannormal. The advantages of ABSare no longer available. Duringhard braking, the vehicle can nolonger be steered and mayswerve.

Adaptive cruise controlAdaptive cruise control is anenhancement to traditional cruisecontrol with the additional feature ofmaintaining a certain distance behindthe vehicle ahead.Adaptive cruise control automaticallydecelerates the vehicle whenapproaching a slower moving vehicle.It then adjusts the vehicle speed tofollow the vehicle ahead at theselected following distance. Thevehicle speed increases or decreasesto follow the vehicle in front, but will

not exceed the set speed. It mayapply limited braking with activatedbrake lights.The adaptive cruise control can storeand maintain speeds over approx.30 mph and brakes automatically tofollow a slower vehicle driving aheaddown to a minimum speed of18 mph.

Adaptive cruise control uses a radarsensor to detect the vehicles ahead.If no vehicle is detected in the drivingpath, the adaptive cruise control willbehave like a traditional cruisecontrol.For safety reasons, the systemcannot be activated before the brakepedal has been depressed once afterswitching on ignition. Activation in firstgear is not possible.

Adaptive cruise control is mainlyadvised to be used on long straightroads, e.g. highways or country roadswith steady traffic. Do not use thesystem if it is not advisable tomaintain a constant speed.Control indicator A 3 116, m 3 115.

9 Warning

When adaptive cruise control isdeactivated, the driver must takeover full brake and engine control.


Switching offPress C to switch off adaptive cruisecontrol. The control indicator m andC in the Driver Information Centreextinguish. The stored speed isdeleted.Switching off the ignition alsoswitches off adaptive cruise controland deletes the stored speed.

Driver's attention● Use adaptive cruise control

carefully on bends or mountainroads, as it can lose the vehicleahead and require time to detectit again.

● Do not use the system onslippery roads as it can createrapid changes in tyre traction(wheel spinning), so that youcould lose control of the vehicle.

● Do not use adaptive cruisecontrol during rain, snow orheavy dirt, as the radar sensorcan be covered by a water film,dust, ice or snow. This reduces orcompletely suppresses the

visibility. In case of sensorblockage, clean the sensorcover.

System limits● The system's automatic brake

force does not permit hardbraking and the braking levelmay not be sufficient to avoid acollision.

● After a sudden lane change, thesystem needs a certain time todetect the next precedingvehicle. So if a new vehicle isdetected, the system mayaccelerate instead of braking.

● Adaptive cruise control doesignore the oncoming traffic.

● Adaptive cruise control does notbrake for pedestrians, animals,very slow speed driving orstopped vehicles.

● Don't use adaptive cruise controlwhen towing a trailer.

Bends

The adaptive cruise control calculatesa predicted path based on thecentrifugal force. This predicted pathconsiders the current bendcharacteristic, but cannot consider afuture bend change. The system maylose the current vehicle ahead orconsider a vehicle which is not in theactual lane. This can happen whenentering or exiting a bend or if thebend gets stronger or weaker. If it nolonger detects any vehicle ahead,then control indicator A willextinguish.If the centrifugal force is too high in abend, the system slows down thevehicle slightly. This braking level isnot designed to avoid spinning off thebend. The driver is responsible forreducing the selected speed before


entering a bend and in general toadapt the speed to the road type andto existing speed limits.

MotorwaysOn motorways, adapt the set speedto the situation and the weather.Always consider that adaptive cruisecontrol has a limited visibility range, alimited braking level and a certainreaction time to verify if a vehicle is inthe driving path or not. Adaptivecruise control may not be able tobrake the vehicle in time to avoid acollision with a much slower vehicle orafter a lane change. This isparticularly true if driving fast or if thevisibility is reduced due to weatherconditions.While entering or exiting a motorway,adaptive cruise control may lose thevehicle ahead and accelerate up to

the set speed. For this reason,decrease the set speed before theexit or before the entry.

Vehicle path changes

If another vehicle enters your drivingpath, adaptive cruise control will firstconsider the vehicle when it iscompletely in your path. Be ready totake action and depress the brakepedal, if you need to brake morequickly.

Hill and trailer considerations

System performance on hills andwhen towing a trailer depends onvehicle speed, vehicle load, trafficconditions and the road gradient. Itmay not detect a vehicle in your pathwhile driving on hills. On steep hills,you may have to use the acceleratorpedal to maintain your vehicle speed.When going downhill, especiallywhen towing a trailer, you may haveto brake to maintain or reduce yourspeed.Note that applying the brakedeactivates the system. It is notrecommended to use adaptive cruisecontrol on steep hills especially whentowing a trailer.


Radar unit

The radar unit is mounted behind theradiator grille below the brandemblem.

9 Warning

The radar unit was alignedcarefully during manufacture.Therefore, after a frontal accident,do not use the system. The frontbumper may appear to be intact,however the sensor behind can beout of position and reactincorrectly. After an accident,

consult a workshop to verify andcorrect the adaptive cruise controlsensor position.

General information for bothvariants of forward collision alert

9 Warning

Forward collision alert is just awarning system and does notapply the brakes. Whenapproaching a vehicle ahead toorapidly, it may not provide youenough time to avoid a collision.The driver accepts fullresponsibility for the appropriatefollowing distance based on traffic,weather and visibility conditions.

The complete attention of thedriver is always required whiledriving. The driver must always beready to take action and apply thebrakes.

System limitationsThe system is designed to warn onlyfor vehicles, but may react also onother metallic objects.In the following cases, forwardcollision alert may not detect a vehicleahead or sensor performance islimited:● on winding roads● when weather limits visibility,

such as fog, rain, or snow● when the sensor is blocked by

snow, ice, slush, mud, dirt,windscreen damage or affectedby foreign items, e.g. stickers

Following distanceindicationThe following distance indicationdisplays the distance to a precedingmoving vehicle. The system uses,


depending on the vehicle equipment,either the radar behind the radiatorgrille or the front camera in thewindscreen to detect the distance ofa vehicle directly ahead in your lane.It is active at speeds above 25 mph.When a preceding vehicle is detectedahead, the distance is indicated inseconds, displayed on a page in theDriver Information Centre 3 116.Press MENU on the turn signal leverto select Vehicle InformationMenu ? and turn the adjusterwheel to choose following distanceindication page.

The minimum indicated distance is0.5 s.

If there is no vehicle ahead or thevehicle ahead is out of range, twodashes will be displayed: -.- s.

If Adaptive cruise control is active,this page shows the alert sensitivitysetting instead of following distancesetting. 3 175.

Active Emergency BrakingActive emergency braking can help toreduce the damage and injury fromcrashes with vehicles and obstaclesdirectly ahead, when a collision canno longer be avoided either bymanual braking or by steering. Before

the active emergency brakingapplies, the driver is warned by theforward collision alert 3 181.The feature uses various inputs (e.g.radar sensor, brake pressure, vehiclespeed) to calculate the probability ofa frontal collision.Active emergency braking operatesautomatically above walking speed,provided that Auto collisionpreparation setting is not deactivatedin the vehicle personalisation menu3 124.The system includes:● brake preparation system● emergency automatic braking● forward looking brake assist

9 Warning

This system is not intended toreplace the driver responsibility ofdriving the vehicle and lookingahead. Its function is limited tosupplemental use only. The drivershall continue to apply the brakepedal as the driving situationdictates.


Brake preparation systemWhen approaching a vehicle aheadso quickly that a collision is likely, thebrake preparation system slightlypressurises the brakes. This reducesthe response time, when a manual orautomatic braking is requested.The brake system is prepared so thatbraking can occur more rapidly.

Emergency automatic brakingAfter the brake preparation and justbefore the imminent collision, thisfunction automatically applies limitedbraking to reduce the impact speed ofthe collision.

Forward looking brake assistIn addition to brake preparationsystem and emergency automaticbraking, the forward looking brakeassist function makes the brake assistmore sensitive. In this way,depressing the brake pedal slightlyresults immediately in a strongbraking. This function helps the driverbrake quicker and stronger before theimminent collision.

9 Warning

Active emergency braking is notdesigned to apply strongautonomous braking or to avoidautomatically a collision. It isdesigned to reduce the vehiclespeed before collision. It may notreact on stopped vehicles,pedestrians or animals. After asudden lane change, the systemneeds a certain time to detect thenext preceding vehicle.The complete attention of thedriver is always required whiledriving. The driver shall always beready to take action and apply thebrakes and steer to avoidcollisions. The system is designedto work with all occupants wearingtheir seat belts.

System limitationsThe active emergency braking haslimited or no function during rain,snow or heavy dirt, as the radarsensor can be covered by a water

film, dust, ice or snow. In case ofsensor blockage, clean the sensorcover.In some seldom cases the activeemergency braking system mayprovide a short automatic braking insituations that seem to beunnecessary, for instance due totraffic signs in a curve or due tovehicles in another lane. This isacceptable operation, the vehicledoes not need service. Firmly applythe accelerator pedal to override theautomatic braking.

9 Warning

The driver bears full responsibilityfor the parking manoeuvre.Always check the surroundingarea when driving backwards orforwards while using parkingassist system.

The front-rear parking assistmeasures the distance between thevehicle and obstacles in front of andbehind the vehicle. It informs andwarns the driver by giving acousticsignals and display indication.It uses two different acoustic warningsignals for the front and rearmonitoring areas, each with adifferent tone frequency. The signal

for front obstacles sounds via thefront speakers, for rear obstacles itsounds via the rear speakers.

The system has four ultrasonicparking sensors each in the rear andfront bumper.

ActivationWhen reverse gear is engaged, thefront and rear parking assist is readyto operate.The system is also activatedautomatically at a speed up to7 mph.

An illuminated LED in the parkingassist button r indicates that thesystem is ready to operate.If r is switched off within an ignitioncycle, the front parking assist isdeactivated. If vehicle speed hasexceeded 15 mph beforehand,parking assist will be reactivatedwhen speed drops below 7 mph.

IndicationThe system warns the driver withacoustic signals against potentiallyhazardous obstacles behind and infront of the vehicle.


Depending on which side of thevehicle is closer to an obstacle, youwill hear acoustic warning signals onthe respective side of the vehicle. Theinterval between the soundsbecomes shorter as the vehicle getscloser to that obstacle. When thedistance is less than approx. 30 cm,the sound is continuous.Additionally, the distance to rear andfront obstacles is displayed bychanging distance lines in the DriverInformation Centre 3 116 or,depending on the version, on the Info-Display 3 121.

Special attention must be paid tolow obstacles which can damagethe lower part of the bumper.

Caution

Performance of the system can bereduced when sensors arecovered, e.g. by ice or snow.Performance of the parking assistsystem can be reduced due toheavy loading.Special conditions apply if thereare taller vehicles in the vicinity(e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans,vans). Object identification andcorrect distance indication in theupper part of these vehiclescannot be guaranteed.Objects with a very small reflectioncross-section, e.g. objects ofnarrow size or soft materials, maynot be detected by the system.Parking assist systems do notdetect objects outside thedetection range.

NoticeThe parking assist systemautomatically detects factory-fittedtowing equipment. It is deactivatedwhen the connector is plugged in.It is possible that the sensor detectsa non-existing object (echodisturbance) caused by externalacoustical or mechanicdisturbances.NoticeIf engaging a forward gear andexceeding a certain speed, the rearparking assist will be deactivatedwhen the rear carrier system isextended.If engaging reverse gear first, theparking assist will detect the rearcarrier system and provide a buzzingsound. Press r briefly todeactivate the parking assist.

Side blind spot alertThe side blind spot alert systemdetects and reports objects on eitherside of the vehicle, within a specified"blind spot" zone. The systemdisplays a visual alert in each exterior


mirror, when detecting objects thatmay not be visible in the interior andexterior mirrors.The system's sensors are located inthe bumper on the left and right sideof the vehicle.

9 Warning

Side blind spot alert does notreplace driver vision.The system does not detect:

● vehicles outside the side blindzones which may be rapidlyapproaching

● pedestrians, cyclists or animalsBefore changing a lane, alwayscheck all mirrors, look over theshoulder and use the turn signal.

When the system detects a vehicle inthe side blind zone while drivingforward, either while passing avehicle or being passed, a yellowwarning symbol B will illuminate inthe relevant exterior mirror. If thedriver then activates the turn signal,

the warning symbol B starts flashingyellow as a warning not to changelanes.NoticeIf the passing vehicle is at least6 mph faster than the passedvehicle, the warning symbol B in therelevant exterior mirror may notilluminate.

Side blind spot alert is active fromspeeds of 6 mph up to 87 mph.Driving faster than 87 mphdeactivates the system, indicated bylow lighting warning symbols B inboth exterior mirrors. Reducing thespeed again will extinguish the

where the front camera islocated, is not clean or affectedby foreign items, e.g. stickers.

● Traffic signs are completely orpartially covered or difficult todiscern.

● There are adverse environmentalconditions, e.g. heavy rain, snow,direct sunlight or shadows.

● Traffic signs are incorrectlymounted or damaged.

● Traffic signs do not comply withthe Vienna Convention on trafficsigns (Wiener Übereinkommenüber Straßenverkehrszeichen).

Caution

The system is intended to help thedriver within a defined speedrange to discern certain trafficsigns. Do not ignore traffic signswhich are not displayed by thesystem.The system does not discern anyother than the conventional trafficsigns that might give or end aspeed limit.Do not let this special featuretempt you into taking risks whendriving.Always adapt speed to the roadconditions.The driver assistance systems donot relieve the driver from fullresponsibility for vehicleoperation.

Lane departure warningThe lane departure warning systemobserves the lane markings betweenwhich the vehicle is driving via a frontcamera. The system detects lane

changes and warns the driver in theevent of an unintended lane changevia visual and acoustic signals.Criteria for the detection of anunintended lane change are:● No operation of turn signals.● No brake pedal operation.● No active accelerator operation

or speeding-up.● No active steering.

If the driver is active, no warning willbe issued.

Activation


The lane departure warning system isactivated by pressing ). Theilluminated LED in the buttonindicates that the system is switchedon. When the control indicator ) inthe instrument cluster illuminatesgreen, the system is ready to operate.The system is only operable atvehicle speeds above 35 mph and iflane markings are available.When the system recognises anunintended lane change, the controlindicator ) changes to yellow andflashes. Simultaneously a chimesound is activated.

DeactivationThe system is deactivated bypressing ), the LED in the buttonextinguishes.At speeds below 35 mph the systemis inoperable.

FaultThe lane departure warning systemmay not operate properly when:● The windscreen is not clean.● There are adverse environmental

conditions like heavy rain, snow,direct sunlight or shadows.

The system can not operate when nolane marking is detected.

FuelFuel for petrol enginesOnly use unleaded fuel that complieswith European standard EN 228 orE DIN 51626-1 or equivalent.The engine is capable of running withfuel that contains up to 10% ethanol(e.g. named E10).Use fuel with the recommendedoctane rating. A lower octane ratingcan reduce engine power and torqueand slightly increases fuelconsumption.

Caution

Do not use fuel or fuel additivesthat contain metallic compoundssuch as manganese-basedadditives. This may cause enginedamage.


Caution

Use of fuel that does not comply toEN 228 or E DIN 51626-1 orequivalent can lead to deposits orengine damage.

Caution

Use of fuel with a lower octanerating than the lowest possiblerating could lead to uncontrolledcombustion and engine damage.

The engine specific requirementsregarding octane rating are given inthe engine data overview 3 266. Acountry specific label at the fuel fillerflap can supersede the requirement.

Fuel for diesel enginesOnly use diesel fuel that complieswith EN 590.In countries outside the EuropeanUnion use Euro-Diesel fuel with asulphur concentration below 50 ppm.

Caution

Use of fuel that does not comply toEN 590 or similar can lead toengine powerloss, increased wearor engine damage and may affectyour warranty.

Do not use marine diesel oils, heatingoils, Aquazole and similar diesel-water emulsions. Diesel fuels mustnot be diluted with fuels for petrolengines.

Fuel for natural gasoperationUse natural gas with a methanecontent of approx. 78 - 99%. L-gas(low) has approx. 78 - 87% and H-gas(high) has approx. 87 - 99%. Biogaswith the same methane content canalso be used if it has been chemicallyprepared and desulphurised.Only use natural gas or biogas thatcomplies with DIN 51624.Liquid gas or LPG must not be used.

Fuel selector

1 flashes : no switching ispossible, one type offuel is empty


As soon as the natural gas tank isempty, petrol operation isautomatically engaged until theignition is switched off.If the natural gas tank is not refuelled,the system must be manuallyswitched to petrol operation beforethe engine is restarted. This willprevent damage to the catalyticconverter (overheating caused byirregular fuel supply).If the selector switch is operatedseveral times within a short time, aswitchover inhibitor is activated. Theengine remains in the currentoperating mode. The inhibitorremains active until the ignition isswitched off.A slight loss of power and torque canbe expected during petrol operation.You must therefore adapt your drivingstyle (e.g. during overtakingmanoeuvres) and high vehicle loads(e.g. towing loads) accordingly.Every six months run the petrol tankdown until control indicator Yilluminates, then refuel. This is

necessary to maintain fuel quality aswell as system function necessary forpetrol operation.Fill the tank completely at regularintervals to prevent corrosion in thetank.

Fuel for liquid gas operationLiquid gas is known as LPG(Liquefied Petroleum Gas) or underits French name GPL (Gaz de PétroleLiquéfié). LPG is also known asAutogas.LPG consists mainly of propane andbutane. The octane rating is between105 and 115, depending on thebutane proportion. LPG is stored as aliquid at a pressure of approximatelyfive to ten bar.The boiling point depends on thepressure and the mixing ratio. Atambient pressure, it is between-42 °C (pure propane) and -0.5 °C(pure butane).

Caution

The system works at an ambienttemperature of approx. -8 °C to100 °C.

Full functioning of the LPG systemcan only be guaranteed with liquidgas which complies with the minimumrequirements of DIN EN 589.

Fuel selector

Pressing LPG switches betweenpetrol and liquid gas operation assoon as the required parameters(coolant temperature, gas


temperature and minimum enginespeed) have been reached. Therequirements are usually fulfilled afterapproximately 60 seconds(depending on exterior temperature)and the first firm press on theaccelerator.

As soon as the liquid gas tank isempty, petrol operation isautomatically engaged until theignition is switched off.When switching automaticallybetween petrol or gas operation, abrief delay of engine tractive powermay be noticeable.Every six months, run the petrol tankdown until control indicator Iilluminates, then refuel. This helpsmaintain fuel quality and systemfunction for petrol operation.Fill the tank completely at regularintervals to prevent corrosion in thetank.

Faults and remediesIf gas mode is not possible, check thefollowing:● Is there enough liquid gas

present?● Is there enough petrol present for

starting?

Due to extreme temperatures incombination with the gascomposition, it may take slightlylonger before the system switchesfrom petrol to gas mode.In extreme situations, the system mayalso switch back to petrol mode if theminimum requirements are notfulfilled. If conditions allow, it may bepossible to manually switch back toliquid gas operation.Seek the assistance of a workshop inthe event of all other faults.

Caution

Repairs and adjustments may onlybe made by trained specialists inorder to maintain the safety andwarranty on the LPG system.

Liquid gas is given a particular odour(odorised) so that any leaks can bedetected easily.


9 Warning

If you smell gas in the vehicle or inthe immediate vicinity, switch topetrol mode immediately. Nosmoking. No naked flames orignition sources.

If the gas odour persists, do not startthe engine. Have the cause of thefault remedied by a workshop.When using underground car parks,follow the instructions of the operatorand local laws.NoticeIn the event of an accident, switch offthe ignition and lights.

Refuelling

9 Danger

Before refuelling, switch offignition and any external heaterswith combustion chambers.Switch off any mobile phones.Follow the operating and safetyinstructions of the filling stationwhen refuelling.

9 Danger

Fuel is flammable and explosive.No smoking. No naked flames orsparks.If you can smell fuel in yourvehicle, have the cause of thisremedied immediately by aworkshop.

Caution

In case of misfuelling, do notswitch on ignition.

Fuel consumption - CO2-Emissions Petrol and Diesel enginesThe fuel consumption (combined) ofthe model Vauxhall Zafira is within arange of 31 to 58 mpg.The CO2 emission (combined) iswithin a range of 182 to 129 g/km.For the values specific to yourvehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate ofConformity provided with your vehicleor other national registrationdocuments.

Natural gas enginesThe gas consumption (combined) ofthe model Vauxhall Zafira is approx.40 mpg.The CO2 emission (combined) is129 g/km.For the values specific to yourvehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate ofConformity provided with your vehicleor other national registrationdocuments.

General informationThe official fuel consumption andspecific CO2 emission figures quotedrelate to the EU base model withstandard equipment.Fuel consumption data and CO2emission data are determinedaccording to regulationR (EC) No. 715/2007 (in the versionrespectively applicable), taking intoconsideration the vehicle weight inrunning order, as specified by theregulation.The figures are provided only for thepurpose of comparison betweendifferent vehicle variants and mustnot be taken as a guarantee for theactual fuel consumption of aparticular vehicle. Additionalequipment may result in slightlyhigher results than the statedconsumption and CO2 figures.Furthermore, fuel consumption isdependent on personal driving styleas well as road and traffic conditions.


Natural gasThe fuel consumption informationwas obtained using reference fuelG20 (methane proportion99 - 100 mol%) under prescribeddriving conditions. When usingnatural gas with a lower proportion ofmethane, the fuel consumption candiffer from the specified values.

Trailer hitchGeneral informationOnly use towing equipment that hasbeen approved for your vehicle.Vehicles with natural gas enginesrequire special towing equipment.Entrust retrofitting of towingequipment to a workshop. It may benecessary to make changes thataffect the cooling system, heatshields or other equipment.The bulb outage detection function fortrailer brake light cannot detect apartial bulb outage. E.g. in case of4x 5 Watt bulbs, the function onlydetects lamp outage when only asingle 5 Watt lamp remains or noneremain.Fitting of towing equipment couldcover the opening of the towing eye.If this is the case use the coupling ballbar for towing. Always keep thecoupling ball bar in the vehicle.

Driving characteristics andtowing tipsBefore attaching a trailer, lubricatethe coupling ball. However, do not doso if a stabiliser, which acts on thecoupling ball, is being used to reducesnaking movements.For trailers with low driving stabilityand caravan trailers with a permittedgross vehicle weight of more than1300 kg the use of a stabiliser isstrongly recommended when drivingabove 50 mph.If the trailer starts snaking, drive moreslowly, do not attempt to correct thesteering and brake sharply ifnecessary.When driving downhill, drive in thesame gear as if driving uphill anddrive at a similar speed.Adjust tyre pressure to the valuespecified for full load 3 272.


Trailer towingTrailer loadsThe permissible trailer loads arevehicle and engine-dependentmaximum values which must not beexceeded. The actual trailer load isthe difference between the actualgross weight of the trailer and theactual coupling socket load with thetrailer coupled.The permissible trailer loads arespecified in the vehicle documents. Ingeneral, they are valid for gradientsup to 12%.The permissible trailer load appliesup to the specified incline and at sealevel. Since engine power decreasesas altitude increases due to the airbecoming thinner, therefore reducingclimbing ability, the permissible grosstrain weight also decreases by 10%for every 1000 metres of altitude. Thegross train weight does not have to bereduced when driving on roads withslight inclines (less than 8%, e.g.motorways).

The permissible gross train weightmust not be exceeded. This weight isspecified on the identification plate3 261.

Vertical coupling loadThe vertical coupling load is the loadexerted by the trailer on the couplingball. It can be varied by changing theweight distribution when loading thetrailer.The maximum permissible verticalcoupling load (75 kg) is specified onthe towing equipment identificationplate and in the vehicle documents.NoticeEngines B20DTH and B20DTJ:Depending on the equipment themaximum permissible verticalcoupling load can be 75 kg or 60 kg.

Always aim for the maximum load,especially in the case of heavytrailers. The vertical coupling loadshould never fall below 25 kg.

Rear axle loadWhen the trailer is coupled and thetowing vehicle fully loaded, thepermissible rear axle load (seeidentification plate or vehicledocuments) may be exceeded by60 kg, the gross vehicle weight ratingmay be exceeded by 60 kg. If thepermissible rear axle load isexceeded, a maximum speed of60 mph applies.

Towing equipment

Caution

When operating without a trailer,remove the coupling ball bar.

Tyre condition, wheel conditionDrive over edges slowly and at rightangles if possible. Driving over sharpedges can cause tyre and wheeldamage. Do not trap tyres on the kerbwhen parking.Regularly check the wheels fordamage. Seek the assistance of aworkshop in the event of damage orunusual wear.

Winter tyresWinter tyres improve driving safety attemperatures below 7 °C and shouldtherefore be fitted on all wheels.All tyre sizes are permitted as wintertyres 3 272.In accordance with country-specificregulations, affix the speed sticker inthe driver's field of view.

Tyre designationsE.g. 215/60 R 16 95 H215 : tyre width, mm60 : cross-section ratio (tyre height

to tyre width), %R : belt type: RadialRF : type: RunFlat16 : wheel diameter, inches95 : load index e.g. 95 is equivalent

to 690 kgH : speed code letter

Speed code letter:Q : up to 100 mphS : up to 112 mphT : up to 118 mphH : up to 130 mphV : up to 150 mphW : up to 168 mph

Choose a tyre appropriate for themaximum speed of your vehicle.The maximum speed is achievable atkerb weight with driver (75 kg) plus125 kg payload. Optional equipmentcould reduce the maximum speed ofthe vehicle.Performance 3 268.

Directional tyresFit directional tyres such that they rollin the direction of travel. The rollingdirection is indicated by a symbol(e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall.

Tyre pressureCheck the pressure of cold tyres atleast every 14 days and before anylong journey. Do not forget the sparewheel. This also applies to vehicleswith tyre pressure monitoring system.Unscrew the valve cap.

Tyre pressure 3 272.

236 Vehicle care

The tyre pressure information labelon the front left or right door frameindicates the original equipment tyresand the correspondent tyrepressures.The tyre pressure data refers to coldtyres. It applies to summer and wintertyres.Always inflate the spare tyre to thepressure specified for full load.The ECO tyre pressure serves toachieve the smallest amount of fuelconsumption possible.Incorrect tyre pressures will impairsafety, vehicle handling, comfort andfuel economy and will increase tyrewear.Tyre pressures differ depending onvarious options. For the correct tyrepressure value, follow the procedurebelow:1. Identify the engine identifier code.

Engine data 3 266.2. Identify the respective tyre.

The tyre pressure tables show allpossible tyre combinations 3 272.

For the tyres approved for yourvehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate ofConformity provided with your vehicleor other national registrationdocuments.The driver is responsible for correctadjustment of tyre pressure.

9 Warning

If the pressure is too low, this canresult in considerable tyre warm-up and internal damage, leading totread separation and even to tyreblow-out at high speeds.

9 Warning

For specific tyres therecommended tyre pressure asshown in the tyre pressure tablemay exceed the maximum tyrepressure as indicated on the tyre.Never exceed the maximum tyrepressure as indicated on the tyre.

If the tyre pressure must be reducedor increased on a vehicle with tyrepressure monitoring system, switch

off ignition. After adjusting tyrepressure, switch on ignition andselect the appropriate setting on thepage Tyre load in the DriverInformation Centre, 3 116.

Temperature dependencyThe tyre pressure depends on thetemperature of the tyre. Duringdriving, tyre temperature andpressure increase. Tyre pressurevalues provided on the tyreinformation label and tyre pressurechart are valid for cold tyres, whichmeans at 20 °C.The pressure increases by nearly1.5 psi for a 10 °C temperatureincrease. This must be consideredwhen warm tyres are checked.The tyre pressure value displayed inthe Driver Information Centre showsthe real tyre pressure. A cooled downtyre will show a decreased value,which does not indicate an air leak.

Vehicle care 237

Tyre pressure monitoringsystemThe tyre pressure monitoring systemchecks the pressure of all four tyresonce a minute when vehicle speedexceeds a certain limit.

Caution

Tyre pressure monitoring systemwarns only about low tyre pressurecondition and does not replaceregular tyre maintenance by thedriver.

All wheels must be equipped withpressure sensors and the tyres musthave the prescribed pressure.NoticeIn countries where the tyre pressuremonitoring system is legallyrequired, the use of wheels withoutpressure sensors will invalidate thevehicle type approval.

The current tyre pressures can beshown in the Driver InformationCentre.

Select the menu by the buttons on theturn signal lever.

Select Tyre pressure page underVehicle Information Menu ?3 116.

System status and pressure warningsare displayed by a messageindicating the corresponding tyre inthe Driver Information Centre.The system considers the tyretemperature for the warnings.

A detected low tyre pressurecondition is indicated by controlindicator w 3 114.If w illuminates, stop as soon aspossible and inflate the tyres asrecommended 3 272.If w flashes for 60-90 seconds andthen illuminates continuously, there isa fault in the system. Consult aworkshop.After inflating, some driving may berequired to update the tyre pressurevalues in the Driver InformationCentre. During this time w mayilluminate.

238 Vehicle care

If w illuminates at lower temperaturesand extinguishes after some driving,this could be an indicator forapproaching a low tyre pressurecondition. Check tyre pressure.Vehicle messages 3 122.If the tyre pressure must be reducedor increased, switch off ignition.Only mount wheels with pressuresensors, otherwise the tyre pressurewill not be displayed and willuminates continuously.A temporary spare wheel is notequipped with pressure sensors. Thetyre pressure monitoring system isnot operational for these wheels.Control indicator w illuminates. Forthe further three wheels the systemremains operational.The use of commercially availableliquid tyre repair kits can impair thefunction of the system. Factory-approved repair kits can be used.Operating electronic devices or beingclose to facilities using similar wavefrequencies could disrupt the tyrepressure monitoring system.

Each time the tyres are replaced, tyrepressure monitoring system sensorsmust be dismounted and serviced.For the screwed sensor: replacevalve core and sealing ring. Forclipped sensor: replace completevalve stem.

Vehicle loading statusAdjust tyre pressure to load conditionaccording to the tyre information labelor tyre pressure chart 3 272, andselect the appropriate setting in theTyre load menu in the DriverInformation Centre 3 116. Thissetting is the reference for the tyrepressure warnings.The Tyre load menu only appears ifthe vehicle is at a standstill and theparking brake is applied.

WashingThe paintwork of your vehicle isexposed to environmental influences.Wash and wax your vehicle regularly.When using automatic vehiclewashes, select a programme thatincludes waxing.Bird droppings, dead insects, resin,pollen and the like should be cleanedoff immediately, as they containaggressive constituents which cancause paint damage.

254 Vehicle care

If using a vehicle wash, comply withthe vehicle wash manufacturer'sinstructions. The windscreen wiperand rear window wiper must beswitched off. Remove antenna andexternal accessories such as roofracks etc.If you wash your vehicle by hand,make sure that the insides of thewheel housings are also thoroughlyrinsed out.Clean edges and folds on openeddoors and the bonnet as well as theareas they cover.Clean bright metal mouldings with acleaning solution approved foraluminium to avoid damages.

Caution

Always use a cleaning agent witha pH value of four to nine.Do not use cleaning agents on hotsurfaces.

Do not clean the engine compartmentwith a steam-jet or high-pressure jetcleaner.

Thoroughly rinse and leather-off thevehicle. Rinse leather frequently. Useseparate leathers for painted andglass surfaces: remnants of wax onthe windows will impair vision.Have the door hinges of all doorsgreased by a workshop.

Exterior lightsHeadlight and other light covers aremade of plastic. Do not use anyabrasive or caustic agents, do not usean ice scraper, and do not clean themdry.

Polishing and waxingWax the vehicle regularly (at thelatest when water no longer beads).Otherwise, the paintwork will dry out.Polishing is necessary only if the painthas become dull or if solid depositshave become attached to it.Paintwork polish with silicone forms aprotective film, making waxingunnecessary.Plastic body parts must not be treatedwith wax or polishing agents.

Windows and windscreen wiperbladesUse a soft lint-free cloth or chamoisleather together with window cleanerand insect remover.When cleaning the rear window frominside, always wipe in parallel to theheating element to prevent damage.For mechanical removal of ice, use asharp-edged ice scraper. Press thescraper firmly against the glass sothat no dirt can get under it andscratch the glass.Remove dirt residues from smearingwiper blades by using a soft cloth andwindow cleaner. Also make sure toremove any residues such as wax,insect residues and similar from thewindow.Ice residues, pollution and continuouswiping on dry windows will damage oreven destroy the wiper blades.

ConfirmationsConfirmation of service is recorded inthe Service and Warranty Booklet.The date and mileage is completedwith the stamp and signature of theservicing workshop.Make sure that the Service andWarranty Booklet is completedcorrectly as continuous proof ofservice is essential if any warranty orgoodwill claims are to be met, and isalso a benefit when selling thevehicle.

Service interval with remainingengine oil life durationThe service interval is based onseveral parameters depending onusage.The service display lets you knowwhen to change the engine oil.Service display 3 106.

9 Warning

Operating materials arehazardous and could bepoisonous. Handle with care. Payattention to information given onthe containers.

Engine oilEngine oil is identified by its qualityand its viscosity. Quality is moreimportant than viscosity whenselecting which engine oil to use. Theoil quality ensures e.g. enginecleanliness, wear protection and oilageing control, whereas viscositygrade gives information on the oil'sthickness over a temperature range.

Service and maintenance 259

Dexos is the newest engine oil qualitythat provides optimum protection forgasoline and diesel engines. If it isunavailable, engine oils of other listedqualities have to be used.Recommendations for gasolineengines are also valid forCompressed Natural Gas (CNG),Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) andEthanol (E85) fuelled engines.Select the appropriate engine oilbased on its quality and on theminimum ambient temperature3 263.

Topping up engine oilEngine oils of different manufacturersand brands can be mixed as long asthey comply with the required engineoil quality and viscosity.Use of engine oil with onlyACEA A1/B1 or only A5/B5 quality isprohibited, since it can cause long-term engine damage under certainoperating conditions.Select the appropriate engine oilbased on its quality and on theminimum ambient temperature3 263.

Additional engine oil additivesThe use of additional engine oiladditives could cause damage andinvalidate the warranty.

Engine oil viscosity gradesThe SAE viscosity grade givesinformation of the thickness of the oil.Multigrade oil is indicated by twofigures, e.g. SAE 5W-30. The firstfigure, followed by a W, indicates thelow temperature viscosity and thesecond figure the high temperatureviscosity.Select the appropriate viscosity gradedepending on the minimum ambienttemperature 3 263.All of the recommended viscositygrades are suitable for high ambienttemperatures.

Coolant and antifreezeUse only organic acid type-long lifecoolant (LLC) antifreeze approved forthe vehicle. Consult a workshop.The system is factory filled withcoolant designed for excellentcorrosion protection and frostprotection down to approx. -28 °C. In

northern countries with very lowtemperatures the factory filled coolantprovides frost protection down toapprox. -37 °C. This concentrationshould be maintained all year round.The use of additional coolantadditives that intend to give additionalcorrosion protection or seal againstminor leaks can cause functionproblems. Liability for consequencesresulting from the use of additionalcoolant additives will be rejected.

Brake and clutch fluidOver time, brake fluid absorbsmoisture which will reduce brakingeffectiveness. The brake fluid shouldtherefore be replaced at the specifiedinterval.

Washer fluidUse only washer fluid approved forthe vehicle to prevent damage ofwiper blades, paintwork, plastic andrubber parts. Consult a workshop.

Vehicle data recordingand privacyEvent data recordersData storage modules in thevehicleA large number of electroniccomponents of your vehicle containdata storage modules temporarily orpermanently storing technical dataabout the condition of the vehicle,events and errors. In general, thistechnical information documents thecondition of parts, modules, systemsor the environment:● operating conditions of system

components (e.g. filling levels)● status messages of the vehicle

and its single components (e.g.number of wheel revolutions /rotational speed, deceleration,lateral acceleration)

● dysfunctions and defects inimportant system components


● vehicle reactions in particulardriving situations (e.g. inflation ofan airbag, activation of thestability regulation system)

● environmental conditions (e.g.temperature)

These data are exclusively technicaland help identifying and correctingerrors as well as optimising vehiclefunctions.Motion profiles indicating travelledroutes cannot be created with thesedata.If services are used (e.g. repairworks, service processes, warrantycases, quality assurance),employees of the service network(manufacturer included) are able toread out this technical informationfrom the event and error data storagemodules applying special diagnosticdevices. If required, you will receivefurther information at theseworkshops. After an error has beencorrected, the data are deleted fromthe error storage module or they areconstantly overwritten.

When using the vehicle, situationsmay occur in which these technicaldata related to other information(accident report, damages on thevehicle, witness statements etc.) maybe associated with a specific person -possibly, with the assistance of anexpert.Additional functions contractuallyagreed upon with the client (e.g.vehicle location in emergency cases)allow the transmission of particularvehicle data from the vehicle.

Radio FrequencyIdentification (RFID)RFID technology is used in somevehicles for functions such as tyrepressure monitoring and ignitionsystem security. It is also used inconnection with conveniences suchas radio remote controls for doorlocking/unlocking and starting, and in-vehicle transmitters for garage dooropeners. RFID technology inVauxhall vehicles does not use orrecord personal information or linkwith any other Vauxhall systemcontaining personal information.
