Driving and operation
Wheels, tyres Suitable tyres or limitations 3191.
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. Fitting new tyres
Fit tyres in pairs or in sets, which is even
better. Ensure that tyres on one axle are
zthe same size,
zthe same design,
zthe same make,
zand 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
(such as when changing a tyre) should be
refitted as soon as possible. This is the only
way to benefit fully from the design
properties of the tyre.
Pay attention to legal requirements when
disposing of tyres.
Picture no: 12117s.tif
Tyre pressure
Check tyre pressure at least every 14 days
and prior to any long journey; the tyres
should be checked when cold. Don’t forget
to check the spare 3.
Remove the valve cap key from the tank
flap and use it to unscrew the valve cap.
Tyre pressure 3191, 3192 and on the
adhesive label on the inside of the tank
flap.
The tyre pressure data is for cold tyres. It
applies to both summer and winter tyres.
9 Warning
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheels may
lead to accidents and render the vehicle
unroadworthy.

Tread depth
Check tread depth regularly.
For reasons of safety, tyres should be
replaced when their tread depth has worn
down to 2 to 3 mm (winter tyres: 4 mm).
The legally permissible minimum tread
depth (1.6 mm) has been reached when
the tread has worn down as far as one of
the wear indicators (TWI
1)). A number of
wear indicators are spaced at equal
intervals around the tyre within the tread.
Their position is indicated by markings on
the tyre sidewall.
Picture no: 6456u.tif
If wear in the front is greater than that in
the rear, switch the front wheels with the
rear ones.
Correct tyre pressure. General information
zThe danger of aquaplaning is greater if
the tyres are worn.
zTyres age, even if they are little used or
not used at all. We recommend tyre
replacement no later than every 6 years.
zNever fit used tyres the previous history
and use of which you do not know.

Speed code letters: Winter tyres 3
Instructions on fitting new tyres 3121.
Limitations 3191.
Winter tyres improve driving safety at
temperatures below 7 C.
The design of summer tyres means they
have limited qualities for winter driving.
In accordance with country-specific
regulations, affix the speed sticker 3 in the
driver’s field of view.
Use of a spare wheel fitted with a summer
tyre may affect the vehicle’s driveability,
especially on slippery road surfaces.
Obtain a replacement for the faulty tyre as
soon as possible, and have the wheel
balanced and fitted to the vehicle.
Wheel trims 3
The use of wheel trims and tyres that Opel
has approved for the vehicle and therefore
fulfill all requirements for the relevant
combination of wheels and tyres.
If the wheel trims and tyres used are not
Opel-approved, the tyres must not have a
beaded edge. Wheel trims must not impair brake cooling.
Remove the wheel trims if fitting tyre
chains3.

7. Place the replaced wheel in the spare
wheel holder with the outside of the
wheel facing upwards.
If a full specification wheel is stowed, do
not fit the spacer ring between the
wheel and the vehicle underbody.
8. Lift the spare wheel holder, insert the
safety cable.
9. Lift the spare wheel holder and engage
in the catch. The open side of the catch
must point towards the rear.
10. Turn the hexagon bolt in the luggage
compartment floor with the wheel bolt
wrench to raise the spare wheel holder
all the way up. General information
Depending on the version, the spare wheel
may be designed for use as a temporary
spare 3. The temporary spare is
designated by a sticker on the rim. Follow
the instructions on this page and on 3125,
3191.
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. Advice to aid in an emergencywheel 3
zUsing a temporary spare wheel may
change the driving behaviour of the
vehicle, particularly if using winter
tyres3. Replace defective tyre as
quickly as possible, balance wheel
and fit to vehicle.
zFit only one temporary spare wheel.
zDo not drive faster than 80 km/h.
zTake curves slowly.
zDo not use the temporary spare wheel
for a lengthy period.
zReplace temporary spare wheel with full
specification wheel without delay.
zDo not use tyre chains. If tyre chains
must be used when one of the front tyres
has a flat, mount the temporary spare
wheel on the rear axle and transfer one
of the rear wheels to the front axle.
Check the tyre pressure and correct if
necessary 3121, 3191.
zFollow "Notes on temporary spare
wheel" 3125, 3191.

Technical data
Tyres Not all tyres available on the market
currently meet the structural requirements.
We recommend that you consult an Opel
Partner concerning suitable tyre makes.
These tyres have undergone special tests
to establish their reliability, safety and
specific suitability for Opel vehicles.
Despite continuous market monitoring, we
are unable to assess these attributes for
other tyres, even if they have been granted
approval by the relevant authorities or in
some other form.
Further information 3121. Winter tyres
3
Tyre sizes 185/60 R 15, 185/65 R 15,
195/45 R 16 and 195/50 R 16 are not
permitted for winter driving.
Exception: Tyres of size 185/60 R 15 may be
used as winter tyres on the Combo
Tramp/Arizona. If winter tyres are in use, the spare wheel
may still be fitted with a summer tyre. Use
of the spare wheel may alter vehicle
handling. Obtain a replacement for the
faulty tyre as soon as possible, and have
the wheel balanced and fitted to the
vehicle.
Further information 3124.
Tyre chains
3
Tyre chains may be used on the front
wheels only.
We recommend the use of tyre chains with
a fine mesh that add no more than 10 mm
to the running surface and the insides of
the tyres (including chain lock).
Tyre chains are not permitted on the spare
wheel and tyres sizes 185/60 R 15,
185/65 R 15, 195/45 R 16 and 195/50 R 16.
Exception: Tyre chains on tyres of size
185/60 R 15 are permitted on Combo
Tramp/Arizona.
Tyre chains are generally permitted on
tyres of size 185/55 R 15.
Further information 3125. Wheels Wheel bolt tightening torque: 110 Nm.
Spare wheel
3
Depending on the version, the spare wheel
is designed for use as a temporary spare
wheel 3: the handling of the vehicle may
change if the spare wheel is used. Replace
a defective tyre as soon as possible,
balance the wheel and fit it to vehicle. Pay
attention to notes on this page and on
3125, 3135.
On vehicles with alloy wheels 3 the spare
wheel may have a steel rim.
The spare wheel can be fitted with a
smaller tyre
1) and a smaller rim than the
wheels fitted on the vehicle.
Tyre pressure (overpressure)The specified tyre pressure are valid for
cold tyres. The increased tyre pressure
resulting from extensive driving must not
be reduced. The tyre pressure specified on
the following pages apply to both summer
and winter tyres.
The spare wheel must always be filled with
the tyre pressure for a full load - see tables
on following pages.
Temporary spare wheel tyre pressure 3 –
see tables on the following pages.
Further information 3121 to 3125. 1)Country-specific version: The spare wheel is
only permitted for use as a temporary spare.
