Driving and operating145Caution
Certain additives in petrol could, in
combination with ethanol, cause
reduced driveability. For this
reason, refuel with a full tank of
petrol every 10000 km. Use up the majority of this before refuelling
the car again.
Fuel for diesel engines
Only use diesel fuel that complies
with EN 590.
In countries outside the European
Union use Euro-Diesel fuel with a
sulphur concentration below 50 ppm.
Caution
Use of fuel that does not comply
with EN 590 or similar can lead to engine power loss, increased
wear or engine damage and loss
of warranty.
Do not use marine diesel oils, heating
oils, Aquazole and similar diesel-
water emulsions. Diesel fuels must
not be diluted with fuels for petrol
engines.
Refuelling9 Danger
Before refuelling, switch off engine
and any external heaters with
combustion chambers. Switch off
any mobile phones.
Follow the operating and safety
instructions of the filling station
when refuelling.
9 Danger
Fuel is flammable and explosive.
No smoking. No naked flames or
sparks.
If you can smell fuel in your
vehicle, have the cause of this
remedied immediately by an
authorized dealer.
Caution
In case of misfuelling, do not
switch on ignition.
Fuel filler flap is located at left rear
side of vehicle.
The fuel filler flap can only be opened
if the vehicle is unlocked 3 21.
Release the fuel filler flap by pushing the flap.
To unlock fuel filler cap: turn it
anticlockwise. If hissing occurs, wait
until it stops before completely
unscrewing the cap.
146Driving and operating
The fuel filler cap can be retained in
the holder on the inside of the fuel filler flap.
When refuelling, fully insert the pump nozzle and switch it on.
After the automatic cut-off, the fuel
tank can be topped up with a
maximum two doses of fuel.Caution
Wipe off any overflowing fuel
immediately.
After refuelling, replace the fuel filler
cap and turn it clockwise until you
hear several clicks. Ensure the cap is
screwed in completely, otherwise
control indicator Z may illuminate in
the instrument cluster 3 85.
Close fuel filler flap.
Fuel filler cap
Only a genuine fuel filler cap provides
full functionality. Diesel-engined
vehicles have special fuel filler caps.
Fuel consumption - CO 2-
Emissions
The fuel consumption (combined) of
the model Opel Antara is within a range of 10.9 to 6.3 l/100 km.
The CO 2 emission (combined) is
within a range of 255 to 167 g/km.
For the values specific for your
vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of Conformity provided with your vehicle
or other national registration
documents.
General information The official fuel consumption and
specific CO 2 emission figures quoted
relate to the EU base model with
standard equipment.
Fuel consumption data and CO 2
emission data are determined
according to regulation R (EC) No.
715/2007 (in the latest applicable
version), taking into consideration the
vehicle weight in running order, as
specified by the regulation.The figures are provided only for the
purpose of comparison between
different vehicle variants and must not be taken as a guarantee for the
actual fuel consumption of a
particular vehicle. Additional
equipment may result in slightly
higher results than the stated
consumption and CO 2 figures.
Furthermore, fuel consumption is dependent on personal driving style
as well as road and traffic conditions.
