To select, rotate the rotary switch on the
wiper stalk briefly up i or down h for
each function and then let go. The
functions will be called one after the other. Range
Range is calculated fr
om current fuel tank
content and instantaneous consumption.
The display shows average values.
After refuelling, the vehicle updates the
range automatically after a brief delay.
When there is insufficient fuel in the tank
for more than 30 km, the warning REFILL
appears on the display.
Confirm the warning message by pressing 0
on the wiper stalk.
Instantaneous consumption
Display of current consumption. At low
speeds, consumption per hour is displayed.
Distance travelled
Display of distance travelled. The
measurement can be reset at any time.
Average speed
Display of aver age speed. The
measurement can be reset at any time.
Stoppages in the journey with the ignition
off are not included in the calculations. Effective consumption
Display of fuel consumed. The
measurement can be reset at any time.
Average consumption
Display of average
consumption. The
measurement can be reset at any time.
Restart trip computer information
Select the desired trip computer function:
rotate the rotary switch on the wiper stalk
briefly up i or down h for each function
and then let go. To reset a value to zero,
hold down the button 0 on the wiper stalk
for more than three seconds: this restarts
measurement. To reset all functions at the
same time, hold down the button 0 for
more than 6 seconds.
All trip computer information, apart from
range and instantaneous consumption,
can be reset.

Driving and operation
Fuels, refuelling Fuel consumption
Fuel consumption is determined under
specific driving conditions – see page
3256.
Special equipment increases the weight of
the vehicle. As a result, they can increase
fuel consumption and reduce the specified
maximum speed.
For the first few thousand kilometres,
friction between the engine and
transmission components is higher. This
increases fuel consumption.
Fuel for petrol engines
Only use unleaded fuel that complies
with DIN EN 228.
Fuels with ethanol content greater than 5 %
may only be used if the vehicle has been
specifically developed and approved for
these fuels.
Use fuel with the recommended octane
rating (value in bold 3254). Use of fuel
with too low an octane rating can reduce
engine power and torque and will slightly
increase fuel consumption. Fuel for diesel engines
Only use diesel fuel that complies
with DIN EN 590. The fuel must have
low sulphur content (maximum 50 ppm).
Do not use marine diesel oils, heating oils
or entirely or partially plant-based diesel
fuels, such as rape seed oil or bio diesel,
Aquazole and similar diesel-water
emulsions. Diesel fuels must not be diluted
with fuels for petrol engines.
The flow and filterabilit
y of diesel fuel are
temperature-dependent. When
temperatures are low, refuel with diesel fuel
with guaranteed wi nter properties.
Picture no: 18309s.tif
Fuel filler cap
Only a Opel Genuine fuel filler cap provides
full functionality. Di esel-engined vehicles
have special fuel filler caps.
Refuelling
Caution
Use of fuel with too low an octane rating
could lead to uncontrolled combustion
and engine damage.

Warning
Before refuelling, switch off engine and
any external heater s with combustion
chambers 3 (identified by sticker on tank
flap). Switch off any mobile phones.
Follow the operating and safety instruc-
tions of the filling stat ion when refueling.
