Luggage compartment storage 3
Trays on both sides of the luggage
compartment floor. Luggage compartment under floor
storage 3
To access the under floor storage, push
both levers on floor cover towards the
handle - see page 176. Pull floor cover
upwards by the handle and hang the hook
to the upper part of the tailgate opening.Notes on loading the vehicle
z
Heavy objects in the luggage
compartment should be placed as far
forward as possible. If objects are to be
stacked, the heavier objects should be
placed at the bottom.
With rear seats in the folded position, or
with safety net 3 installed behind rear
seats, objects must not be stacked
higher than the seat backrests.
Unsecured objects in the luggage
compartment would be thrown forward
with great force in the event of heavy
braking, for example.
z Secure heavy objects with lashing
straps 3 attached to the lashing eyes. If
heavy loads slip when the vehicle is
braked heavily or driven around a bend,
the handling of the vehicle may change.
z Secure loose items in luggage
compartment using FlexOrganizer 3 or
luggage floor net 3 to prevent sliding.
z When transporting objects in the
luggage compartment, fit safety net 3 -
see page 60.
9 Warning
Do not allow objects to protrude above
the top of the under floor storage, to
avoid damage to the storage area and
the luggage compartment floor.

Seats, interior64
zClose the luggage compartment cover to
prevent the objects from being reflected
in the rear window.
z If the backrests are not folded down
when transporting objects in the
luggage compartment, they must be
engaged in their upright position -
see page 41.
z Do not allow the load to protrude above
the upper edge of the rear seat
backrests, or if the rear seat backrests
have been folded down onto the seat
cushions, above the upper edge of the
front seat backrests.
z The warning triangle 3 and first aid kit 3
should always be freely accessible.
z No objects should be placed on the
luggage compartment cover or the
instrument panel. They are reflected in
the glass, obstruct the driver’s view and
will be thrown through the vehicle in the
event of heavy braking, for example.
z No objects should be stored in any of the
airbag inflation zones, as injuries may be
caused when the airbag is triggered. z
The load must not obstruct the operation
of the pedals, hand brake and gearshift
lever or hinder the freedom of movement
of the driver. Do not place any unsecured
objects in the interior.
z Bulky objects should not be transported
with the tailgate open or ajar, otherwise
poisonous exhaust fumes may enter the
vehicle.
z Weights, payload and roof load -
see page 221.
z Driving with a roof load (see also
page 127) increases the sensitivity of the
vehicle to crosswinds and has a
detrimental effect on vehicle handling
owing to the higher centre of gravity of
the vehicle. Stowage compartments

Driving and operation123
Ensure that tyres (including the spare) are
inflated to the correct pressure and are
suitable for the prevailing off-road
conditions.
Tyre pressures - see page 224.Check the jack and wheel changing tools,
and include a board or plate for supporting
the jack on soft ground.
Carry emergency equipment, i.e. tow rope,
spade, first aid kit etc., which may be
desirable if you intend entering unfamiliar
off-road terrain.
A tow rope should be carried, to allow the
recovery vehicle to be placed clear of any
adverse ground.
Your Opel Partner will assist you in
assessing any special requirements.
Secure all loose items and luggage that
may cause injury if thrown around the
passenger compartment in bumpy
conditions. Avoid carrying heavy loads on
the roof. Make sure all doors, the tailgate
and the bonnet are firmly closed.
Securing items using lashing eyes -
see page 61.

Driving and operation127
Driving hints
The first 1000 km (600 miles)
Drive your vehicle at various speeds. Do
not use full throttle. Never allow the engine
to labour at low revs.
Make good use of all gears. Depress the
accelerator pedal a maximum of around
three quarters of the available pedal travel
in all gears and drive ranges.
Do not drive faster than three quarters of
maximum speed.
Avoid quick starts, su dden acceleration
and prolonged high-speed driving, to
avoid engine damage and to conserve
fuel.
Do not brake unnecessarily hard for the
first 200 km (125 miles).
If possible, avoid towing another vehicle.
Never coast with engine not running
Many units may then not function (e.g.
brake servo unit, power steering, airbag
system). Driving in this manner is a danger
to yourself and others. Brake servo unit
With the engine not running, the brake
servo unit is no longer effective once the
brake pedal has been depressed once or
twice. The braking effect is not reduced,
but substantially greater foot pressure is
necessary to stop the vehicle.
Power steering
Never leave the steering wheel on full lock
when the vehicle is stationary, as this may
damage the power steering pump.
If the power steering should fail - e.g. when
the vehicle is being towed with the engine
switched off - the vehicle can still be
properly steered, but considerably greater
effort is necessary.
Driving in mountainous terrain or with a
caravan/trailer
Electrically driven fan; the fan cooling
capacity is not dependent on engine
speed. It is not necessary, therefore, when
driving uphill to shif
t down into a lower
gear if the vehicle can climb in a higher
gear. Driving in extreme conditions
When driving in hazard
ous conditions, e.g.
in snow, ice, mud, sand or water, drive
slowly and cautiously to allow for greater
braking distances.
If stuck, use 2nd gear (automatic
transmission in drive range 2) to avoid
spinning the front wheels.
Use sand, tyre chains or other non-slip
materials to provide traction when stuck in
snow, mud or ice.
Driving through water
Before attempting to drive through water,
check the depth. If the depth is slightly
lower than the underbody of your vehicle,
do not attempt to drive through it.
Driving too quickly through water can
cause water to enter the engine through
the air intake, causing severe damage.
Drive slowly, in a high engine rpm in as low
a gear as possible.
Driving with a roof load
Do not exceed the permissible roof load -
see page 221. For safety reasons,
distribute the load evenly and secure it
tightly with straps so that it cannot slip. Set
the tyre pressure to the value given for full
load. Do not drive faster than 120 km/h
(75 mph). Check and retighten straps at
frequent intervals.

Driving and operation150
Tyre pressure
Check tyre pressures when cold, at least
every 14 days and prior to any long
journey. Don't forget to check the spare.
Use the valve cap key 3 to make
unscrewing the valve caps easier. The
valve cap key is located on the inside of the
tank flap.
Tyre pressures - see page 224.
Increased pressure resulting from tyre
warm-up must not be reduced, otherwise
the pressure may drop below the
permissible minimum when the tyres cool
down. After having checked the tyre pressures,
securely tighten the valve caps.
Incorrect inflation pressures will impair
safety, vehicle handling, comfort and fuel
economy and will increase tyre wear.
If the pressure is too low, this can result in
considerable tyre warm-up and internal
damage, leading to tread separation and
even to tyre blow-out at high speeds.
Hidden tyre damage is not eliminated by
subsequently adjusting the inflation
pressure.
Tyre condition, wheel condition
Driving over sharp edges can lead to
hidden tyre damage and wheel damage
which is only noticed later on; danger of
tyre blow-out.
Drive over edges slowly and at a right
angle if possible. When parking, ensure
that the tyres are not pressed against the
edge of the kerb.
Check tyres regularly for damage (foreign
bodies, punctures, cuts, cracks, bulges in
sidewalls). Check wheels for damage. In
the event of damage
or abnormal wear,
consult a workshop.
9 Warning
Incorrect tyre pressure could lead to a flat
tyre.9 Warning
Damage may lead to tyre blowout.
