Technical Data
Weights, payload and roof load The payload is the difference between the
permitted gross vehicle weight (see
identification plate, page 3250) and the
EC kerb weight.
To calculate the kerb weight, enter the
data for your vehicle below:
is the EC kerb weight.
Optional equipmen t and accessories
increase the kerb weight, which means that
the payload will also change slightly.
Note the weights given in the vehicle
documents. The combined total of front and rear axle
loads must not exceed the permissible
gross vehicle weight. For example, if the
front axle is bearing its maximum
permissible load, the rear axle can only
bear a load that is equal to the gross
vehicle weight minus
the front axle load.
With the trailer attached and the towing
vehicle fully loaded, including all the
passengers, the permitted rear axle load
(specified on identification plate and
vehicle documents) for passenger vehicles
may be exceeded by 45 kg and the
permitted total load may be exceeded
by 50 kg.
For vans the permitted rear axle load may
be exceeded by 25 kg. The permitted total
load may be exceeded by the following
amounts with the engines
1) specified
below:
Trailer operation is not permitted for vans
with tyre size 215/45 R 17. If the permitted rear axle load is exceeded
a maximum speed of 100 km/h applies. If
lower national maximum speeds are
specified for trailer operation, they must be
complied with.
See the identification
plate or vehicle
documents for permissible axle loads.
Roof load
The permissible roof load is 75 kg. The roof
load consists of the weight of the roof rack
plus the load carried.
Driving instructions 3149. Caravan/trailer
towing 3187, roof rack 3173.

264 Technical DataTyres Not all tyres available on the market
currently meet the structural requirements.
We recommend that you consult an Opel
Partner concerning suitable tyre makes.
These tyres have undergone special tests
to establish their reliability, safety and
specific suitability for Opel vehicles.
Despite continuous market monitoring, we
are unable to assess these attributes for
other tyres, even if they have been granted
approval by the relevant authorities or in
some other form.
Further information 3168. Wheels Wheel bolt tightening torque: 110 Nm. Winter tyres
3
Tyres of size 195/60 R 15, 215/45 R 17
and 225/35 R 18 must not be used as
winter tyres.
Tyres of size 185/60 R 15 are only approved
as winter tyres.
Tyres of size 185/65 R 15 are only
a p p r o v e d a s w i n te r t y r e s o n ve h i c l e s w i t h a
sports chassis. We recommend that you
contact your Opel partner in order to find
out whether your vehicle is equipped with a
sports chassis. If you use winter tyres, the spare wheel

m a y s t i l l b e f i t t e d w i t h a s u m m e r t y r e . I f y o u
use the spare wheel the vehicle’s handling
may be altered. Obtain a replacement for
the faulty tyre as soon as possible, and
have the wheel balanced and fitted to the
vehicle.
Further information 3 172.
Tyre chains
3
Tyre chains may be used on the front
wheels only.
We recommend the use of tyre chains with
a fine mesh that add no more than 10 mm
to the running surface and the insides of
the tyres (including chain lock).
Tyre chains are not permitted on tyre sizes
195/60 R 15, 215/45 R 17 and 225/35 R 18.
Tyre chains are only approved on tyres of
size 185/60 R 15 on vehicles with a sports
chassis. We recommend that you contact
your Opel partner in order to find out
whether your vehicle is equipped with a
sports chassis.
Further information 3172. Spare wheel
3
Depending on the version, the spare wheel
will be in the form of a temporary spare
wheel 3. The vehicle may handle
differently if a spare wheel has been fitted. Replace defective tyre as soon as possible,
balance wheel and fit to vehicle.
Please pay attention to the notes on this
page and on pages 173, 196.
On vehicles with alloy wheels
3 the spare
wheel may have a steel rim.
The spare wheel can be fitted with a
smaller tyre
1) and a smaller rim than the
wheels fitted on the vehicle.
Tyre pressure (overpressure) The specified tyre pressures are valid for
cold tyres. The increased tyre pressure
resulting from extensive driving must not
be reduced. The tyre pressures specified on
the following pages apply to both summer
and winter tyres.
Always inflate the spare wheel 3 to the tyre
pressure for full load – see tables on the
following pages.
Temporary spare wheel tyre pressure 3 –
see tables on the following pages.
Further information 3168 to 3172.1)Country-specific version: The spare wheel is
only to be used as a temporary spare wheel.
