2014.5 VAUXHALL VIVARO coolant level

84Instruments and controlsEngine coolant
temperature
W illuminates blue or red.
Illuminates red briefly when the
ignition is switched on, then turns blue.
Illuminates red when the engine is running
Stop, switch off engine.Caution
Coolant temperature too high.
Check coolant level 3 135.
If there is sufficient coolant, consult a workshop.
The control indicator must be blue
before continuing driving.
Preheating
! illuminates yellow.
Preheating is activated. Only
activates when outside temperature
is low.
Tyre pressure monitoring
system
w illuminates or flashes.
Illuminates Tyre pressure loss. Stop immediately
and check tyre pressure.
Flashes Fault in system or tyre without
pressure sensor mounted ( e.g. spare
wheel). After a delay the control
indicator illuminates continuously.
Consult a workshop.
Tyre pressure monitoring system 3 150.
Engine oil pressure
I illuminates red.
Illuminates briefly when the ignition is
switched on.Illuminates when the engine is
running
If control indicator I illuminates
when the engine is running
(accompanied by a warning chime):
Stop, switch off engine.Caution
Engine lubrication may be
interrupted. This may result in
damage to the engine and/or
locking of the drive wheels.
1. Depress clutch.
2. Select neutral gear (or move selector lever to N).
3. Move out of the flow of traffic as quickly as possible without
impeding other vehicles.
4. Switch off ignition.

102Climate control
Rear air conditioning fan switch
The rear air conditioning fan assists
air flow to the rear passenger
compartment via the rear air vents.
Switch on the fan while the air
conditioning system is operating to
allow cooled and dehumidified (dried) air to be distributed.
The rate of air flow is determined by
the fan.
Auxiliary heater
Coolant heater The Eberspächer engine-
independent, fuel-powered coolant
heater provides rapid heating of the
engine coolant to enable heating of
the vehicle interior without the engine
running.Caution
Do not touch the exhaust pipe. It
may be hot even after the engine
has been switched off, due to
coolant heater operation.
Before starting or programming the
system to start, turn the vehicle's
climate control system to heat and the
air distribution to V.
9Warning
Do not operate the system when
refuelling, when dust or
combustible vapours are present
or in enclosed spaces (e.g.
garage).
Switch off when not required. Heating stops automatically after the
programmed runtime. It will also
cease to operate if the vehicle fuel
level drops too low.
During operation, power from the
vehicle battery is used. The driving
time should therefore be at least as
long as the heating time. For short
journey times, check the vehicle
battery regularly and recharge if
necessary.
To ensure efficient performance,
briefly operate the auxiliary heater
once a month.
Control units The timer or remote control unit turns
the system on and off, and is used to
programme specific departure times.

132Vehicle care
■ 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 our website. Only entrust this work to an
authorised recycling centre.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.
9 Danger
The ignition system generates
extremely high voltages. Do not
touch.
The caps for topping up the engine oil, the coolant, the washer fluid and the
oil dipstick handle are yellow for ease
of identification.
Bonnet
Opening
Pull the release lever and return it to
its original position.

Vehicle care135Engine coolantThe coolant provides freeze
protection down to approx. -28 °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 just above the
MIN mark. Top up if the level is low.9Warning
Allow the engine to cool before
opening the cap. Carefully open
the cap, relieving the pressure
slowly.
Top up with antifreeze. If no
antifreeze is available, use clean tap
water or distilled water. Install the cap
tightly. Have the antifreeze
concentration checked and have the
cause of the coolant loss remedied by a workshop.
If a substantial amount of coolant is
required, it will be necessary to bleed
any trapped air from the cooling
system. Seek the assistance of a
workshop.
If the coolant temperature is too high, control indicator W 3 84 illuminates
red in the instrument cluster, together
with C 3 82. Consult a workshop if
coolant level is sufficient.
Power steering fluidCaution
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 or from
entering the reservoir.
The power steering fluid reservoir is located below the front wheel arch,
behind a trim panel.
The fluid level normally does not need
to be checked. If an unusual noise is
heard during steering or if the power
steering reacts conspicuously, seek
the assistance of a workshop.
