When reverse gear is selected, the park
pilot switches itself on automatically.
Manual activation is possible at speed
below 25 km/h by using the r button in
the instrument panel.
An acoustic warning sounds when the
vehicle approaches an obstacle behind.

Tyre pressure loss monitoring
system (DDS = Deflation Detection
System)
3
If a tyre loses pressure, it grows smaller. It
then rotates at a different speed than the
other tyres. If the system detects a
difference in speed, control indicator w
illuminates red.
Picture no: 18245s.tif
After tyre pressure is corrected or a tyre or
wheel is changed, the system must be
initialised by pressing the DDS button.

Driving and operation
Drive Control Systems Electronic Stability Program
(ESP
®Plus
) 3
ESP®
Plus
improves driving stability when
necessary in any driving situation
regardless of the type of road surface or
tyre grip. It also prevents the drive wheels
from spinning.
As soon as the vehicle starts to swerve
(understeer/oversteer), engine output is
reduced and the wheels are braked
individually. This considerably improves
the driving stability of the vehicle on
slippery road surfaces.
ESP®
Plus
is ready for operation as soon as
the ignition is switched on and control
indicator v goes out.
When the ESP®
Plus
comes into action,
v flashes. The vehicle is now in
a critical situation;
ESP®
Plus
allows you to keep control of the
vehicle and reminds you to match your
speed to the road conditions.
Picture no: 18252s.tif
Control indicator
v
The warning lamp lights up for a few
seconds when the ignition is switched on.
The system is now ready for operation.
Flashing during driving:
This shows the system has come into
action. The engine output may be reduced
(the sound of the engine changes) and the
vehicle may be braked automatically to a
small degree.
Illuminates while driving:
The system is switched off 3 or a fault is
present. Continued driving is possible.
However, directional control may
deteriorate depending on the road surface
conditions.
Switch on ESP®
Plus
again and have cause
of fault remedied by a workshop. The self-
diagnosis that is integrated in the system
will help you to find a solution quickly.

Warning
Do not let this special safety feature
tempt you into taking risks when driving.
ESP®
Plus
does not negate the laws of
physics.
Adapt speed to the road conditions.

168 Driving and operationWheels, tyres Suitable tyres and restrictions 3264.
Tyres fitted in the factory are adapted to
the chassis and provide optimum driving
comfort and safety.
Changing tyre/wheel type
If tyres of a different size than those fitted
at the factory are used, it may be
necessary to reprogram the electronic
speedometer and make other vehicle
modifications.
After converting to a different tyre size,
have the adhesive label with tyre pressures
replaced. Vehicles with run-flat tyres
3
When switching wheels, e.g. when
switching to winter tyres, use run-flat tyres
as there is no spare wheel or tyre repair kit
in the vehicle.
Vehicles with engine Z 10 XEP: Run-flat
tyres are not permitted for all rear axle
applications. We recommend your Opel
Partner.
Run-flat tyres 3 3171. Fitting new tyres
Fit tyres in pairs or in sets, which is even
better. Ensure that tyres on one axle are
z
the same size,
z the same design,
z the same make,
z and have the same tread pattern.
Fit directional tyres such that they roll in the
direction of travel. The rolling direction is
indicated by a symbol (e.g. an arrow) on
the sidewall.
Tyres fitted opposing the rolling direction
(e.g. when a tyre is changed) should be
refitted as soon as possible. This is the only
way to obtain full benefit from the design
properties of the tyre.
Run-flat tyres 3 m u s t n o t b e c o m b i n e d w i t h
conventional tyres.
Pay attention to legal requirements when
disposing of tyres.

Warning
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheels may
lead to accidents and render the vehicle
unroadworthy.

Only use towing equipment that has been
approved for your vehicle. Ask a workshop
to retrofit towing equipment. It may be
necessary to make changes that affect the
cooling system, heat shields or other
equipment.

the spare wheel well and secured to the
lashing eyes in the luggage compartment

Fitting the coupling ball bar
Push both bolts inwards and remove the
cover on the bumper.

Fold down socket. Pull sealing plug out of
coupling ball bar opening. Place cover and
coupling ball bar in luggage compartment.
Caution
The coupling ball bar is to be removed
when not towing.

Self-help, vehicle care
In the Corsa van the spare wheel 3 is
screwed down together with the floor
cover. To lift the cover, undo the plastic
nut. There is a spacer between the spare
wheel and the floor cover.
Placing wide wheels in the spare wheel
well
The spare wheel well is not designed for all
approved tyre sizes. If a wider wheel than
the spare wheel is placed in the spare
wheel well after replacing a wheel, the floor
cover will be resting against the protruding
wheel. In vans the spacer 3 can be omitted
if necessary, or the wheel can be bolted
down without the floor cover.
Fitting a double load-bay floor 3 in this
case in the upper position 382. General information
Depending on the application, the spare
wheel is designed as a temporary spare
wheel
3, note instructions on this page and
on pages 173, 197, 264.
On vehicles with alloy wheels 3 the spare
wheel may have a steel rim.
Use of a spare wheel together with winter
tyres could alter driving conditions. Have
the defective tyre replaced as soon as
possible.
Use of a spare wheel that is smaller than
the other wheels could alter driving
conditions. In many countries, it is only
permitted as a temporary spare wheel.
Have the defective tyre replaced as soon
as possible. Notes on temporary spare wheel
3
z Using a temporary spare wheel may
change the driving behaviour of the
vehicle, particularly if using winter tyres 3.
Replace defective tyre as quickly as
possible, balance wheel and fit to vehicle.
z Fit only one temporary spare wheel.
z Do not drive faster than 80 km/h.
z Take curves slowly.
z Do not use the temporary spare wheel
for a lengthy period.
z Replace temporary spare wheel with full
specification wheel without delay.
z Tyre chains are not permitted on the
temporary spare wheel. If tyre chains
have to be used after a front wheel
puncture, fit temporary spare wheel to
the rear axle and fit a rear wheel to the
front axle. Check tyre pressure and
correct if necessary 3264.
z Follow temporary spare wheel
instructions on pages 173, 197 and 264.

200 Self-help, vehicle careChanging wheels There may be a tyre repair kit instead of a
spare wheel 3204.
Make the following preparations and
observe the following information:
z Park the vehicle on a level, firm and non-
skid surface. The front wheels must be in
the straight-ahead position.
z Switch on hazard warning lights, apply
hand brake, automa tic transmission 3 -
selector lever in P , manual transmission
or manual automatic transmission 3 -
engage 1st or reverse gear.
z Erect warning triangle 3 as specified.
Warning triangle 3196.
z Remove spare wheel from luggage
compartment 3196. z
Never change more than one wheel at
once.
z Use the jack 3 only to change wheels.
z If the ground on which the vehicle is
standing is soft, a solid board (max. 1 cm
thick) should be placed under the jack 3.
z Block the wheel diagonally opposite the
wheel to be changed by placing wedge
blocks or equivalent in front and behind
the wheel. z
No people or animals may be in the
vehicle when it is jacked up.
z Never crawl under a jacked-up vehicle.
z Do not start the vehicle when it is raised
on the jack.
z Before screwing in the wheel bolts, clean
them and lightly coat the taper of each
wheel bolt with comm ercially available
grease.
