Cruise control can store and maintain
speeds between 30 and 200 km/h.
Deviation from the stored speed may occur
when driving up or downhill.
For safety reasons the cruise control
system cannot be activated until the foot
brake has been operated, otherwise the
control indicator flashes m.
Cruise control is operated with switch m, g,
and button 0 on the turn signal stalk.
Do not use the cruise control if it is not
advisable to maintain a constant speed
(e.g. in situations presenting a danger to
yourself and other road users, in heavy
traffic or on winding, slippery or greasy
roads). With automatic transmission
3, engage
cruise control only in D, or with manual
transmission automated 3 in automatic
mode only.

Tyre designations
Meanings:
e.g. 185/65 R 15 88 T
Speed code letters: Run-flat tyres (RFT)
3
Run-flat tyres have reinforced, self-
supporting sidewalls, which ensure that the
tyres always have a certain amount of
driveability, even when there is no pressure.
Run-flat tyres are permitted only in the
case of vehicles with ESP®
Plus
3 and a
deflation detection system.
Depending on the tyre manufacturer, run-
flat tyres can be identified from a marking
on the tyre wall, e.g. ROF = RunonFlat for
Dunlop or SSR = Self Supporting Runflat
Tyre for Continental.
Run-flat tyres can be used only in
combination with the alloy wheels issued
by Opel: this also applies to winter tyres. Driving with a damaged tyre
The deflation of a tyre is displayed via the
deflation detection system
3.
If a tyre has no pressure, continued driving
is possible
z at a speed of max. 80 km/h,
z up to a distance of 80 km.
Do not use a tyre repair kit.

R = Belt type Radial
RF = Type: Run-flat
15 = Rim diameter in inches
88 = Load-bearing capacity code
e.g.: 88 corresponds to 567 kg
T = Speed code letter:
Q = Up to 160 km/h
S = Up to 180 km/h
T = Up to 190 km/h
H = Up to 210 km/h
V = Up to 240 km/h
W = Up to 270 km/h
9
Warning
Even the tyre pressure of run-flat tyres
must be checked regularly.
Check tyre pressures at least every
14 days and prior to any long journey;
the tyres should be checked when cold.
9
Warning
When driving with a flat tyre, do not
exceed a speed of 80 km/h or a distance
of 80 km.
The vehicle will be more difficult to steer
and handle and the braking distance
will be longer.
Adapt driving style and speed to the
conditions at hand.

Inspection system In order to guarantee 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.
Fixed service interval
When a service is due, the InSP display
appears in the odometer display when the
ignition is switched on. Have the next
service performed by a workshop within
one week or 500 km (whichever occurs
first). The service interval display takes account
of off-the-road periods during which the
battery is disconnected.
Flexible service interval
3
The length of the service intervals is based
on several parameters stemming from
usage. For this reason, various
engine-specific data is continually
gathered and is used to calculate the
remaining distance until the next service.
If the remaining distance is less than
1500 km, InSP is displayed with a
remaining distance of 1000 km when
the ignition is switched on and off. If less
than 1000 km remains, InSP is displayed
for several seconds. Have the next service
performed by a workshop within one week
or 500 km (whichever occurs first).
Display of remaining distance:
1. Switch off ignition.
2. Briefly press the trip odometer reset button. The odometer reading is shown.
3. Press and hold the reset button for about 2 seconds. InSP and the remaining
distance are displayed. Further information
on maintenance and
the inspection system can be found in the
Service and Warranty Booklet, which is in
the glove compartment.
Have maintenance work – and repair work
on the body and the equipment – carried
out professionally by a workshop. We
recommend using your Opel partner, who
has excellent knowledge of Opel vehicles
and has the necessary special tools and
up-to-date service inst ructions from Opel.
It is particularly advisable to use an Opel
Partner during the warranty period in order
to prevent loss of warranty. Further
information can be found in the Service
and Warranty Booklet.
Separate anti-corrosion service
Have this work done at the intervals given
in the Service and Warranty Booklet.
