Notes on loading the vehicle zHeavy objects in the luggage
compartment should be placed as far
forward as possible against the rear seat
backrests or, if the rear seat backrests
are folded down, against the front seat
backrests. If objects are to be stacked,
the heavier objects should be placed at
the bottom.
zSecure heavy objects with lashing
straps3 attached to lashing eyes 3
344.
zWhen transporting objects with the
backrests folded down, install the safety
net 3 345.
zClose the luggage compartment
cover3. zIf the seat backrests are not folded down
when transporting objects in the
luggage compartment, the backrests
must be fully upright and engaged in
position 342.
zDo not allow the load to protrude above
the upper edge of the backrests.
zThe warning triangle 3 and first-aid kit
(cushion) 3 must always be freely
accessible.
zDo not place any objects in front of the
rear window or on the instrument panel.
zNo objects must be placed in the area in
which the airbags inflate, as they could
cause injury when the systems are
deployed.
zThe load must not obstruct the operation
of the pedals, handbrake and gear
selector, or hinder the freedom of
movement of the driver. Do not place
any unsecured objects in the interior.
zDo not drive with luggage compartment
open when transporting bulky objects,
for example, since toxic exhaust fumes
could penetrate the interior.
zThe payload is the difference between
the permitted gross vehicle weight
(identification plate 3182) and the EC
kerb weight.
zTo calculate the EC kerb weight, enter
the data for your vehicle on page 189. zThe EC kerb weight includes allowances
for the driver (68 kg), luggage (7 kg) and
all fluids (tank 90 % full).
zOptional equipment and accessories
increase the kerb weight.
zWeights and payload 3189.
zDriving with a roof load increases the
sensitivity of the vehicle to cross-winds
and has a detrimental effect on vehicle
handling due to the vehicle’s higher
centre of gravity. Distribute the load
evenly and secure it properly with
retaining straps. Adjust the tyre pressure
to the load conditions. Do not drive
faster than 120 km/h. Check and
retighten the straps frequently. Observe
country-specific regulations.
zThe permissible roof load is 100 kg. The
roof load consists of the weight of the
roof rack plus the load carried.
zIf objects are transported in the load
compartment, the split load
compartment grille
3 must always be
locked in one of the retainers and the
lever must be engaged at its bottom
position 346.
zWhen stowing objects in the stowage
compartment above the front seats,
secure against falling out.

Seats, Interior
Note
zChildren under 12 years of age or 150 cm
must only travel in an appropriate child
restraint system on the seats in the rear
row 3.
zWhen transporting children, use the child
restraint systems suitable for the child’s
weight.
zBe sure that child restraint systems are
properly installed - see the instructions
accompanying the child restraint
system. zThe covers of the Opel child restraint
system can be wiped clean.
zDo not stick anything on the child
restraint systems and do not cover them
with any other materials.
zOnly allow the child to enter and exit on
the side of the vehicle facing away from
the road.
zA child restraint system which has been
subjected to stress in an accident must
be replaced.
zSecure or remove child restraint systems
that are in the vehicle but not in use.
Mounting clips

Control indicator
A
for engine electronics
Illuminates for a few seconds when ignition
is switched on.
If it comes on when the engine is running,
there is a fault in the engine or transmission
electronics. The electronics switch to the
emergency running programme, fuel
consumption may increase and the
driveability of the vehicle may be affected.
In some cases the fault can be remedied by
switching the engine off and starting it
again. If the control indicator continues to
illuminate whilst the engine is running,
contact a workshop for assistance in
remedying the cause of the fault. If it illuminates briefly, but does not recur, it
is of no significance.
If A illuminates, there may be water in the
diesel fuel filter 3. Have the fuel filter
checked for water residue by a workshop
3177.
I f i t f l a s h e s a f t e r t h e i g n i t i o n i s s w i t c h e d o n ,
there is a fault in the immobiliser system.
The engine cannot be started 321.
Engine exhaust Diesel particle filter 3
The diesel particle filter system filters
harmful soot particles out of the exhaust
gases. The system includes a self-cleaning
function that run automatically during
driving. The filter is cleaned by burning off
the soot particles at high temperature. This
process takes place automatically under
set driving conditions and may take up to
25 minutes. Fuel consumption may be
higher during this period. The emission of
smells and smoke during this process is
normal.
9 Warning
Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous
carbon monoxide, which is colourless
and odourless and could be fatal if
inhaled.
If exhaust gases penetrate the vehicle,
open windows and contact a workshop
for assistance.
Avoid driving with an open tailgate.
Otherwise, exhaust gases could get into
the interior.

Driving characteristics, towing tips
In the case of trailers/caravans with brakes,
attach breakaway stopping cable to eye.
Before attaching the trailer/caravan,
lubricate the ball of the trailer/caravan
towing device. However, do not lubricate
the ball if a stabiliser, which acts on the
coupling ball, is being used to damp
hunting.
Check caravan/trailer lighting before
starting to drive. The fog tail lamps on the
vehicle are deactivated when towing a
caravan or trailer. Caravans/trailers with LED turn signals
require a provision that make bulb
replacement as with standard bulbs
possible.
Handling is greatly influenced by the
loading of the trailer/caravan. Loads
should therefore be secured so that they
cannot slip and be placed in the centre of
the trailer/caravan if possible, i.e. above
the axle.
In the case of trailers with low driving
stability, do not exceed a speed of
80 km/h; the use of a friction-type
stabiliser is highly recommended.
If the trailer/caravan starts to sway, drive
more slowly, do not attempt to correct the
steering and brake sharply if necessary.
If it is necessary to apply the brakes fully,
depress the brake pedal as hard as
possible.
Remember that the braking distance for
vehicles towing caravans/trailers with and
without brake is always greater than that
for vehicles not towing a caravan/trailer. When driving downhill, drive in the same
gear as if driving uphill and drive at a
similar speed.
Adjust tyre pressure to the value specified
for full load 3121, 3191.
