2009 OPEL AGILA tyre pressure

10-21Vehicle care
Note
The driving characteristics of the
repaired tyre is 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.
Pay attention to storage information
and best before date on sealant
bottle. Its sealing capability is not
guaranteed after this time.The sealant bottle can only be used
once. Replace used sealant bottle.
Dispose of used tyre repair kits in
accordance with the applicable laws. 14. Remove any excess sealant
using a cloth.
15. Attach supplied sticker
containing the maximum
permitted speed within the
driver’s field of view.
16. Continue driving immediately
so that sealant is evenly
distributed throughout the tyre.
After driving approx. 5 km
(3 miles) (but no more than
10 minutes), stop and check
tyre pressure, using the
compressor.
17. If the tyre pressure has not
dropped below 130 kPa
(1.3 bar), it may be adjusted to
the prescribed value. Repeat
the procedure until there is no
more loss of pressure.
If the tyre pressure has
dropped below 130 kPa
(1.3 bar), the vehicle must not
be driven. Seek the assistance
of a workshop.
18. Stow tyre repair kit below the
floor carpet in the luggage
compartment.

Temporary spare wheel
The temporary spare wheel is
designed for use on your vehicle only.
Do not attempt to use the spare tyre
on a different wheel, or use a different
tyre on the spare wheel, as they will
not fit.
Ensure the temporary spare wheel is
inflated to the correct tyre pressure 3
12-8.The temporary spare wheel is located
in the luggage compartment and is
secured with a screw-in retainer.
To access the spare wheel, open
tailgate and pull up luggage
compartment floor carpet using the
central strap located near the tailgate
latch and hang the string on the hook
provided 3 4-4.
If equipped, remove the under floor
storage compartment 3 from the
luggage compartment by pulling it up
by the handle located near the
tailgate latch, to access the spare
wheel 3 4-4. 8. Remove wheel and install
spare wheel.
9. Screw on wheel bolts and
tighten slightly by hand until
wheel is held against the hub.
10. Apply a light coating of grease
to the cone of each wheel bolt.
Do not grease the threads.
11. Rotate jack handle anti-
clockwise using the attached
wheel bolt wrench to lower
vehicle to the ground.
12. Tighten wheel bolts to the
correct torque (85 Nm) in a
cross wise sequence, putting
the wheel bolt wrench on as far
as possible.
13. Stow replaced wheel in
luggage compartment.
14. Stow the warning triangle 3
and jacking equipment 3 4-5,
10-25.

10-25Vehicle care
Remove the retainer by rotating it
anti-clockwise, and remove spare
wheel from the spare wheel well.
General information
If you use winter tyres 3, 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.
Obtain a replacement for the faulty
tyre as soon as possible, and have
the wheel balanced and fitted to the
vehicle.
„Using a temporary spare wheel
may change the driving behaviour
of the vehicle, particularly if using
winter tyres3. Replace defective
tyre as quickly as possible, balance
wheel and fit to vehicle.
„Fit only one temporary spare
wheel.
„Do not drive faster than 80 km/h
(50 mph).
„Take curves slowly.„Do not use the temporary spare
wheel for a lengthy period.
„Replace temporary spare wheel
with full specification wheel without
delay.
„When temporary spare wheel is
fitted, do not take the vehicle
through an automatic car wash with
guide rails. The temporary spare
wheel may get caught on the rails,
causing damage to the tyre, wheel
and other vehicle parts.
„Tyre chains are not permitted on
the temporary spare wheel.
„If tyre chains are necessary after a
front wheel puncture, fit the
temporary spare wheel to the rear
and a rear wheel to the front. Check
tyre pressure and adjust if
necessary 3 12-8.Tools
To access the jack, vehicle tools and
tyre repair kit 3 (3 10-18), open
tailgate and pull up luggage
compartment floor carpet using the
central strap located near the tailgate
latch and hang the string on the hook
provided 3 4-4.
The jack and vehicle tools are located
below the spare wheel.
If equipped, remove the under floor
storage compartment 3 from the
luggage compartment by pulling it up
by the handle located near the
tailgate latch 3 4-4.

10-31Vehicle care
Polishing
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 should not be
treated with wax and polish.
Use Metallic Paintwork Wax on
vehicles with a metallic-effect paint
finish.
Plastic and rubber parts
For additional cleaning of plastic and
rubber parts, use a cleaner suitable
for vehicle interiors. Do not use any
other agent, and in particular do not
use solvents or petrol.
Windows and wiper blades
When cleaning the heated rear
window, make sure that the heating
element on the inside of the window
is not damaged. Never place stickers
on the inside of the rear window.Use a soft, lint-free cloth or chamois
leather, in conjunction with Window
Cleaning Spray and Insect Remover.
Do not use sharp instruments or
abrasive cleaners.
Windscreen Wash Solvent is suitable
for de-icing windows.
For mechanical removal of ice, use a
commercially available sharp-edged
ice scraper. Press the scraper firmly
against the glass so that no dirt can
get under it and scratch the glass.
Wax, such as that used in car
washes, can cause streaks to form on
the windscreen when the wipers are
used.
Wiper blades can be cleaned with a
soft cloth and Windscreen Wash
Solvent. Do not use abrasive
cleaners.Tyres and wheels
Do not use high-pressure jet cleaners
on wheels and tyres.
Use a pH-neutral wheel cleaning
agent to clean the wheels.Avoid using abrasive materials and
brushes that can damage the finish.
Wheels are painted and can be
treated with the same agents as the
body. For alloy wheels 3, we
recommend the use of Alloy Wheel
Preserver.
Paint damage
Repair small areas of paint damage
such as stone impacts, scratches etc.
before rust can form. If rust has
already formed, have the cause
remedied. Seek the assistance of a
workshop.
Underbody
Your vehicle has a factory-applied
PVC undercoating in the wheel
arches (including the longitudinal
members) which provides permanent
protection and needs no special
maintenance. The surfaces of the
vehicle underbody not covered by
PVC are provided with a durable
protective wax coating in critical
areas.
