The system for deactivation of the airbag
systems for the front passenger can be
identified from the sticker on the side of the
instrument panel, visible when the front
passenger door is open. Fault
The front and side airbag system
3 for the
front passenger cannot be activated or
deactivated if
z the ignition is switched off,
z the engine is running,
z the vehicle is in motion,
z the time limit of 15 seconds is exceeded
when the ignition has been switched on,
z the button * is released before the
confirmation buzzer is heard,
z the time limit of 4 seconds is exceeded
after hearing the confirmation buzzer
and button * is kept depressed,
z there is a fault in the airbag system,
z the central locking button is pressed
inside the vehicle at the same time.
In these cases, a warning signal sounds
and the original setting remains
unchanged. The system remains in its
original mode. Rectify the cause, if
possible. Turn the ignition off and then
back on, and repeat the process. Important
z
Placing accessories and objects in the
expansion region of the airbag systems
is not permitted due to the risk of injury if
the components are triggered.
z There must be no objects between the
airbag systems and the occupants, risk
of injury. No child restraint system 3 may
be fitted on the front passenger seat
when the airbag systems are active,
could result in fatalities.
z Use the hooks 3 on the handles in the
roof frame only to hang up light articles
of clothing without co at hangers. Do not
place any objects in the pockets of the
hanging items, risk of injury.
z The airbag system and belt tensioner
control electronics can be found in the
centre console area. In order to avoid
malfunctions, do not store magnetic
objects in this area.

Warning
When using child restraint systems on
the front passenger seat, the airbag
system for the front passenger must be
deactivated; otherwise triggering of the
front or side airbag system 3 could
result in the death of the child.
This is particularly true for the fitting of
rear-facing child restraint systems on
the front passenger seat.
9
Warning
As with any other object, child restraint
systems must not be carried on a pas-
senger’s lap. Danger to life.

Instruments, controls
Automatic time synchronisation 3
The RDS signal of most VHF transmitters
automatically sets the time.
Some transmitters do not send a correct
time signal. In such cases, we recommend
that you switch off automatic time
synchronisation.
On infotainment systems with navigation 3,
time and date are also harmonised upon
receipt of a GPS satellite signal.
The function is activated by ticking the field
in front of Synchron. clock automatical. in
the Time, Date menu.

Selections are indicated by a 6 in front of
the menu item.
In systems with language version 3, when
the language setting of the display is
changed, the system will ask if the message
language should also be changed - see

Picture no: 18224s.tif
Manual air recirculation mode
The air recirculation system prevents the
entry of outside air and the air in the
passenger compartment is circulated.
Operated with the 4 button. To deactivate manual
air recirculation:
Press button 4 again. The control
indicator in the butt on will go out.
Auxiliary heater Depending on outside temperature and
engine temperature, the passenger
compartment of vehicles with Quickheat 3
electric auxiliary heating is warmed up
more quickly.
Diesel-engined vehicles have a fuel-
powered auxiliary heater 3.
9
Warning
The exchange of fresh air is reduced in
air circulation mode. The quality of the
passenger compartment air deterio-
rates which may cause the vehicle occu-
pants to feel drowsy. In operation
without cooling the air humidity
increases, so the windows may mist up.
Consequently, the air circulation system
should only be run for short periods of
time.

152 Driving and operationOverrun
zThe fuel supply is shut off automatically
on overrun, e.g. when descending steep
hills or when braking 3150.
z To enable the overrun cut-off to come
into action and save fuel, do not
accelerate or declutch during overrun.
Correct gear selection
z High revs increase engine wear and fuel
consumption.
z Do not race your engine. Avoid driving at
high engine speeds.
Making use of the tachometer helps to
save fuel. Drive in a low engine speed
range for each gear as much as possible
with uniform engine speeds. Drive as
often as possible in top gear, select the
next higher gear as soon as possible,
and only change down when the engine
is no longer running perfectly smoothly.
High speed
z The higher the speed, the higher the
consumption and the noise level. At top
speed, you consume a great deal of fuel
and produce excessive noise and
exhaust emissions. z
Slightly releasing th e accelerator pedal
results in distinct fu el savings with no
major loss of speed.
Drive at no more than around three
quarters of maximum speed and you will
use up to 50 % less fuel, without losing a
great deal of time.
Tyre pressure
z Inadequate tyre pressure, leading to
higher road resistance, costs money in
two ways: for more fuel and increased
tyre wear.
z Regular checks (every 14 days) pay off.
Electrical loads
z The power consumption of electrical
equipment increases fuel consumption.
z Switch off all additional consumers (e.g.
air conditioning 3, heated rear window)
when not needed.
Roof racks, ski-holders
z Roof loads can increase fuel consumption
by approximately 1l/100 km due to air
resistance.
z Remove them if they are not being used. Repair and maintenance
z
Improper repairs or adjustment and
maintenance work can increase fuel
consumption. Do not carry out work on
the engine yourself.
You may out of ignorance infringe
environmental laws by not disposing of
materials properly.
Appropriate parts might not be recycled.
Contact with some of the materials
involved may pose a health hazard.
z We recommend that repair and
maintenance be entrusted to your Opel
Partner.
Extreme driving conditions
z Driving up steep slopes, cornering,
driving on poor roads and driving in ice
and snow all increase fuel consumption.
Fuel consumption increases dramatically
in urban traffic and at low temperatures,
especially on short trips when the engine
operating temperature is not reached.
z Following the instructions given above
will minimise consumption under these
conditions.

244 Opel Service, maintenanceDiesel fuel filter On the event of engine oil change, have
fuel filter checked for possible water
residue by a workshop.
Illumination of A indicates water in the
fuel filter 3.
Have fuel filter checked at shorter intervals
if the vehicle is subjected to extreme
operating conditions such as high humidity
(primarily in coastal areas), extremely high
or low outside temperatures and
substantially varying daytime and
night-time temperatures.
Coolant The coolant provid es anti-freeze
protection down to approx. -28 C. .
Picture no: 18148s.tif
Antifreeze and corrosion protection
Have the concentration of the radiator
contents tested by a workshop before
winter starts. The amount of
antifreezemust provide protection down to
approx. -28 C. A lower antifreeze
concentration will reduce the amount of
protection from fros t and corrosion. Add
antifreeze if necessary.
If coolant loss is topped up with water,
have concentration checked and add
antifreeze if necessary.
Caution
Only use approved anti-freeze.
Coolant additives used to give addi-
tional protection aga inst corrosion and
prevention against small leaks can lead
to functional problems. No liability is
accepted for damage caused by using
coolant additives.
9
Warning
Antifreeze is a danger to health; it must
therefore be kept in the original con-
tainer and out of the reach of children.
