Vehicle careThe jack and the vehicle tools are in
a pouch, secured to the stowage
compartment in the floor of the load
compartment with a rubber strap.
To close the lid, insert the lugs on its
front rim into the recesses and lock
into place. Wheels and tyres
Tyre condition, wheel condition
Drive over edges slowly and at right
angles if possible. Driving over sharp
edges can cause tyre and wheel
damage.
Do not trap tyres on the kerb
when parking.
Regularly check the wheels for
damage. Seek the assistance of
a workshop in the event of damage or
unusual wear.
Tyres
Tyres of size 225/45 R 17 are only
permitted if the vehicle is equipped
with electronic stability program.
Winter tyres
Winter tyres improve driving safety at
temperatures below 7 °C.
Tyres of size 225/40 R 18, 225/40 ZR
18 and 235/35 R 19 must not be used
as winter tyres. Winter tyres may only be used on the
Zafira OPC on special alloy wheels
approved by Opel.
Run-flat winter tyres may only be
used on factory approved alloy
wheels.
In accordance with country-specific
regulations, affix the speed sticker in
the driver's field of view.
Run-flat tyres
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 only permitted on
vehicles with electronic stability
program
and tyre pressure monitoring
system or deflation detection system. Caution
Check tyre pressures regularly
even if run-flat tyres are fitted.

Vehicle care
If there is more wear at the front than
the rear, swap round front wheels and
rear wheels.
Tyres age, even if they are not used.
We recommend tyre replacement
every 6 years.
Changing tyre and wheel
size
If tyres of a different size than those
fitted at the factory are used, it may be
necessary to reprogram the
speedometer and make other vehicle
modifications.
After converting to a different tyre
size, have the label with tyre
pressures replaced. 9
Warning Use of unsuitable tyres or wheels
may lead to accidents and will
invalidate the vehicle type
approval. Wheel covers
Wheel covers and tyres that are
factory approved for the respective
vehicle and comply with all of the
relevant wheel and tyre combination
requirements must be used.
If
the wheel covers and tyres used are
not factory approved, the tyres must
not have a beaded edge.
Wheel covers must not impair brake
cooling.
Remove the wheel covers if tyre
chains are to be installed. 9
Warning Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel
covers could lead to sudden
pressure loss and thereby
accidents. Tyre chains
Tyre chains are only permitted on the
front wheels.
Always

use fine mesh chains that add
no more than 10 mm to the tyre tread
and the inboard sides (including chain
lock). 9
Warning Damage may lead to tyre blowout.
Tyre chains are not permitted on tyres
of size 225/40 R 18, 225/40 ZR 18
and 235/35 R 19.

3. Ensure the jack is positioned correctly with the vehicle jacking
points. 4. Set the jack to the necessary
height before positioning it directly

Unscrew the wheel bolts.
6. Change the wheel.
7. Screw in the wheel bolts.

each bolt in a crosswise
sequence. Tightening torque is
110 Nm.
10. Align the valve hole in the wheel cover with the tyre valve before
installing. Install wheel bolt caps.
11.

Stow the replaced wheel 3 179
and the vehicle tools 3 173.
12. Check the tyre pressure of the installed tyre and also the wheel
bolt torque as soon as possible.
Have the defective tyre renewed or
repaired.
Spare wheel
The spare wheel can be classified as
a temporary spare wheel depending
on the size compared to the other
mounted wheels and country
regulations.
The spare wheel has a steel rim.
Use of a spare wheel that is smaller
than the other wheels or together with
winter tyres could affect driveability.
Have the defective tyre replaced as
soon as possible.
