Vehicle care157Brake fluid9Warning
Brake fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, fabrics and painted surfaces.
The brake fluid level must be betweenthe MIN and the MAX marks.
When topping up, ensure maximum cleanliness as contamination of the
brake fluid can lead to brake system
malfunctions. Have the cause of the
loss of brake fluid remedied by a
workshop.
Only use high-performance brake
fluid approved for the vehicle, Brake
and clutch fluid 3 157.
Vehicle battery
The vehicle battery is maintenance-
free provided that the driving profile
allows sufficient charging of the
battery. Short-distance-driving and
frequent engine starts can discharge
the battery. Avoid the use of
unnecessary electrical consumers.
Batteries do not belong in household
waste. They must be disposed of at
an appropriate recycling collection
point.
Laying up the vehicle for more than
4 weeks can lead to battery
discharge. Disconnect the clamp from the negative terminal of the vehicle
battery.

174Vehicle care
Tyres of size 205/50 R 17 must only
be used as winter tyres.
Tyres of size 225/40 R 18 1)
,
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 VXR on special alloy wheels
approved by Vauxhall.
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.
Depending on tyre manufacturer, run- flat tyres can be identified from a
marking on the tyre wall. E.g.
ROF=RunonFlat for Goodyear orSSR=Self Supporting Runflat Tyre
for Continental.
Use of run-flat tyres is only permitted
in combination with factory approved
alloy wheels.
Do not use a tyre repair kit.
The ECO tyre pressure must not be
used.
Run-flat tyres must not be combined
with standard tyres.
If converting to standard tyres, note
that the vehicle is not equipped with a spare wheel or tyre repair kit.
Driving with a damaged tyre
A loss in tyre pressure is indicated by
the tyre pressure monitoring system
or the deflation detection system.
If a tyre has no pressure, continued
driving is possible
■ at a speed of max. 80 km/h
■ up to a distance of 80 km9 Warning
The vehicle will be more difficult to
steer and handle. Braking
distance will be longer.
Adapt driving style and speed to the changed conditions.
Tyre designations
E.g. 195/65 R 15 91 H
195=Tyre width, mm65=Cross-section ratio (tyre
height to tyre width), %R=Belt type: RadialRF=Type: RunFlat15=Wheel diameter, inches1) Zafira VXR: Permitted as winter tyres without tyre chains.

176Vehicle care
The tyre pressure tables show allpossible tyre combinations 3 206.
For the tyres approved for your
vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of Conformity provided with your vehicle
or other national registration
documents.
The driver is responsible for correct
adjustment of tyre pressure.9 Warning
If the pressure is too low, this can
result in considerable tyre warm-
up and internal damage, leading to tread separation and even to tyre
blow-out at high speeds.
Tyre pressure monitoring
system
The tyre pressure monitoring system
continually checks the pressure of all
four wheels when vehicle speed
exceeds a certain limit.
All wheels must be equipped with
pressure sensors and the tyres must
have the prescribed pressure.
When a low tyre condition is detected,
A illuminates. If A comes on, stop as
soon as possible and inflate the tyres as recommended in this manual. Tyre pressures 3 206.
After inflating the tyres to the
appropriate pressure, A may stay
illuminated. Pressure change will be
recognized as the vehicles is driven.
Notice
In countries where the tyre pressure
monitoring system is legally
required, the use of wheels without
pressure sensors will invalidate the
vehicle type approval.
The current tyre pressures may be
shown in the Info-Display 3 107.
Vehicle messages, tyre pressure 3 102.
Control indicator w 3 91.
If the tyre pressure shall be reduced
or increased, switch off ignition.
w may come on in cool weather when
the vehicle is first started and then
turn off as the vehicle is driven. Thiscould be an early indicator that the air
pressure is getting low and needs to
be inflated to the proper pressure.
A spare or temporary spare wheel is
not equipped with pressure sensors.
The tyre pressure monitoring system
is not operational for these wheels
and w illuminates.
Winter tyres or additional wheel sets
have to be fitted with sensors,
otherwise the system will not work
and w will indicate malfunction by
flashing one minute and then
illuminate continuously.
The use of commercially available
liquid tyre repair kits can impair the
function of the system. Factory-
approved repair kits can be used.
External high-power radio equipment
could disrupt the tyre pressure
monitoring system.
Unsuited rims can impair the
transmission quality of the tyre
pressure monitoring system sensors.

178Vehicle care
The legally permissible minimum
tread depth (1.6 mm) has been
reached when the tread has worn
down as far as one of the tread wear
indicators (TWI). Their position is
indicated by markings on the
sidewall.
If there is more wear at the front than
the rear, swap round front wheels and rear wheels periodically.
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 rim protection ridge.
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.

Vehicle care179
Always use fine mesh chains that addno 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 permitted on tyres of
size 195/65 R 15, 195/60 R 16,
205/55 R16, 205/50 R 17 and
225/45 R17.
Tyre chains are not permitted on tyres of size 225/40 R 18, 225/40 ZR 18
and 235/35 R 19.
The use of tyre chains is not permitted on the temporary spare wheel.

186Vehicle careJump startingDo not start with quick charger.
A vehicle with a discharged battery
can be started using jump leads and the battery of another vehicle.9 Warning
Be extremely careful when starting
with jump leads. Any deviation
from the following instructions can
lead to injuries or damage caused
by battery explosion or damage to the electrical systems of both
vehicles.
9 Warning
Avoid contact of the battery with
eyes, skin, fabrics and painted
surfaces. The fluid contains
sulphuric acid which can cause
injuries and damage in the event
of direct contact.
■ Never expose the battery to naked flames or sparks.
■ A discharged battery can already freeze at temperatures of 0 °C.
Defrost the frozen battery before
connecting jump leads.
■ Wear eye protection and protective
clothing when handling a battery.
■ Use a booster battery with the same voltage (12 Volts). Its
capacity (Ah) must not be much less than that of the discharged
battery.
■ Use jump leads with insulated terminals and a cross section of at
least 16 mm 2
(25 mm 2
for diesel
engines).
■ Do not disconnect the discharged battery from the vehicle.
■ Switch off all unnecessary electrical
consumers.
■ Do not lean over the battery during jump starting.
■ Do not allow the terminals of one lead to touch those of the other
lead.■ The vehicles must not come into contact with each other during the
jump starting process.
■ Apply the parking brake, transmission in neutral, automatictransmission in P.
Lead connection order:
1. Connect the red lead to the positive terminal of the booster
battery.
2. Connect the other end of the red lead to the positive terminal of the
discharged battery.

194Service and maintenance
