2014.5 VAUXHALL INSIGNIA coolant level

Instruments and controls101
Because of the fuel remaining in the
tank, the top-up quantity may be less
than the specified tank capacity.
Fuel selector
Pressing button LPG switches
between petrol and liquid gas
operation. The status LED 1 shows
the current operating mode.
1 off=petrol operation1 illumi‐
nates=liquid gas operation1 flashes=no switching is
possible, one type
of fuel is emptyAs soon as the liquid gas tank is
empty, petrol operation is
automatically engaged until the
ignition is switched off.
After the engine is started, the LED
1 is sometimes off. If the LPG button
is pressed twice in this situation, the
LED 1 starts flashing.
Fuel for liquid gas operation 3 205.
Engine coolant
temperature gauge
Displays the coolant temperature.

area)=normal operating
temperature130°=temperature too highCaution
If engine coolant temperature is
too high, stop vehicle, switch off
engine. Danger to engine. Check
coolant level.
Service display
The engine oil life system lets you
know when to change the engine oil
and filter. Based on driving
conditions, the interval at which an
engine oil and filter change will be
indicated can vary considerably.

114Instruments and controls
Instantaneous consumption
Display of the instantaneous
consumption.
On vehicles with LPG engines,
instantaneous consumption is
indicated for the currently selected
mode, LPG or Gasoline.
Remaining oil life
Indicates an estimate of the oil's
useful life. The number in % means
the remaining of current oil life 3 101.
Tire pressure
Checks tyre pressure of all wheels
during driving 3 243.
Gasoline fuel level/LPG fuel level
Displays the fuel level for the fuel not
currently being used (Gasoline or
LPG). A dedicated DIC cluster gauge
shows the fuel level for the fuel
currently being used.
Timer
To start and stop press 9. To reset,
press > and confirm Reset.Used fuel
Indicates used fuel since a certain
point of time. To reset, press > and
confirm Reset.
Traffic sign assistant
Displays the detected traffic signs for
the current route section 3 200.
Following distance
Displays the distance in seconds to a preceding moving vehicle 3 186. If
Adaptive cruise control is active this
page shows the following distance
setting instead.
Coolant temperature
Displays the coolant temperature.
Battery voltage
Displays the vehicle battery voltage.
Top consumers
List of top comfort consumers
currently switched on is displayed in
descending order. Fuel saving
potential is indicated. A switched-off
consumer disappears from the list
and the consumption value will be
updated.During sporadic driving conditions,
the engine will activate the rear
window defog automatically to
increase the engine load. In this
event, the rear window defog is
indicated as one of the top
consumers, without activation by the
driver.
Economy trend
Displays the average consumption
development over a distance of
50 miles. Filled segments display the consumption in 5 mile steps and
shows the effect of topography or driving behaviour on fuel
consumption.
Economy index
The current fuel consumption is
indicated on an economic scale. For
economical driving adapt your driving style to keep the indicator within the
Eco area. Indicator outside the Eco
area means higher fuel consumption.
On Baselevel display, the current
consumption value is indicated.

216Vehicle care
■ Open bonnet, close all doors andlock the vehicle.
■ Disconnect the clamp from the negative terminal of the vehicle
battery. Beware that all systems are not functional, e.g. anti-theft alarm
system.
Putting back into operation When the vehicle is to be put back into
operation:
■ Connect the clamp to the negative terminal of the vehicle battery.
Activate the electronics of the
power windows.
■ Check tyre pressure.
■ Fill up the washer fluid reservoir.
■ Check the engine oil level.
■ Check the coolant level.
■ Fit the number plate if necessary.
End-of-life vehicle
recovery
Information on end-of-life vehicle
recovery centres and the recycling of
end-of-life vehicles is available on ourwebsite, where legally required. Only
entrust this work to an authorised
recycling centre.
Gas vehicles must be recycled by a
service centre authorised for gas
vehicles.Vehicle checks
Performing work9 Warning
Only perform engine compartment
checks when the ignition is off.
The cooling fan may start
operating even if the ignition is off.

Vehicle care219Automatic transmission
fluidCaution
Extremely small amounts of
contamination can cause
automatic transmission damage
and cause it to not work properly.
Do not allow contaminates to
contact the fluid side of the
reservoir cap or from entering the
reservoir.
Automatic transmission fluid level
normally does not have to be
checked. To check the fluid level seek
the assistance of a workshop.
Engine coolant
The coolant provides freeze
protection down to approx. -28 °C. In
northern countries with very low
temperatures the factory filled coolant
provides frost protection down to
approx. -37 °C.Caution
Only use approved antifreeze.
Coolant level
Caution
Too low a coolant level can cause engine damage.
If the cooling system is cold, the
coolant level should be above the
filling line mark. Top up if the level is
low.

220Vehicle care
On another version the filling line
mark is inside the filler opening. To
check open the cap.
Additional cooling circuit for Turbo
engine
Coolant container is fixed at the air
cleaner housing.
If the cooling system is cold, the
coolant level should be above the
filling line mark. Top up if the level is
low.
General9 Warning
Allow the engine to cool before
opening the cap. Carefully open
the cap, relieving the pressure
slowly.
To top up use a 1:1 mixture of
released coolant concentrate mixed
with clean tap water. If no coolant
concentrate is available, use clean
tap water. Install the cap tightly. Have the coolant concentration checked
and have the cause of the coolant
loss remedied by a workshop.
Power steering fluid
Caution
Extremely small amounts of
contamination can cause steering
system damage and cause it to not work properly. Do not allow
contaminates to contact the fluid
side of the reservoir cap/dipstick or
from entering the reservoir.
Power steering fluid level normally
does not have to be checked. If an
unusual noise sounds during steering or the power steering reacts
conspicuous seek the assistance of a
workshop.
