2014 OPEL ANTARA fuel cap

Instruments and controls81Fuel gauge
Displays the fuel level in the tank.
Control indicator Y illuminates if the
level in the tank is low. Refuel
immediately 3 145.
Never run the tank dry. Erratic fuel
supply can cause catalytic converter
to overheat 3 129.
Diesel engines: if the tank has been
run dry, bleed the fuel system 3 159.
Because of the fuel remaining in the
tank, the top-up quantity may be less
than the specified tank capacity
3 206.

Interrupt your journey immediately.Remove key and check drive belt
condition and tensioning before
seeking the assistance of a
workshop.
Malfunction indicator light Z illuminates or flashes yellow.

144Driving and operatingFuel
Fuel for petrol engines Only use unleaded fuel that complies
with European standard EN 228 or E DIN 51626-1 or equivalent.
Your engine is capable of running
with E10 fuel that fulfills these
standards. E10 fuel contains up to
10 % bioethanol.
Use fuel with the recommended
octane rating 3 202. Use of fuel with
too low an octane rating can reduce
engine power and torque and slightly increases fuel consumption.Caution
Do not use fuel or fuel additives
that contain metallic compounds
such as manganese-based
additives. This may cause engine
damage.
Caution
Use of fuel that does not comply to EN 228 or E DIN 51626-1 or
equivalent can lead to deposits or
engine damage and may affect
your warranty.
Caution
Use of fuel with too low an octane
rating could lead to uncontrolled combustion and engine damage.
Note
Use unleaded Premium fuel only for
the following countries:
Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus,
Moldova.
Fuel for ethanol adapted
engines (E85) If access to E85 is limited then fuel
with a different proportion of ethanol
or normal RON 95 can be used for
refuelling. The engine's control
management system is adjusted
automatically according to the
amount of ethanol in the fuel.
E85 fuel must fulfil the CWA 15293 or
SS 155480 standard.
When the temperature is about
-10 °C or lower a greater proportion of petrol should be used. E85 in
combination with low temperatures
could lead to the car being more
difficult to start. A slightly higher
proportion of petrol improves the cold start properties considerably.
During the engine's warm-up phase
(below +50 °C) engine torque is
limited when driving with a proportion of ethanol.
Ethanol contains less energy per litre
than petrol, which is why fuel
consumption increases when driving
on E85 compared with petrol. A
consequence of this is that a tank of
E85 covers fewer kilometres than a
tank of petrol.

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.

Tyre pressureCheck the pressure of cold tyres at
least every 14 days and before any
long journey. Do not forget the spare
wheel. This also applies to vehicles
with tyre pressure monitoring system.
Use the valve cap key to make
unscrewing the valve caps easier.
The valve cap key is located on the
inside of the tank flap.
Tyre pressure 3 207.
The tyre pressure data refers to cold
tyres. It applies to summer and winter tyres.
Always inflate the spare tyre to the
pressure specified for full load.
The ECO tyre pressure serves to
achieve the smallest amount of fuel
consumption possible.
Incorrect tyre pressures will impair
safety, vehicle handling, comfort and
fuel economy and will increase tyre
wear.
The tyre pressure tables show all
possible tyre combinations 3 207.
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.
If the tyre pressure shall be reduced
or increased on a vehicle with tyre
pressure monitoring system, switch
off ignition.
Tyre pressure monitoring
system The tyre pressure monitoring system
checks the pressure of all four wheels
once per minute when vehicle speed
exceeds a certain limit.Caution
Tyre pressure monitoring system
warns only about low tyre pressure
condition and does not replace
regular tyre maintenance by the
driver.
All wheels must be equipped with pressure sensors and the tyres must
have the prescribed pressure. If
wheels without sensors are mounted,
the tyre pressure monitoring system
is not operational. Retrofitting of
sensors is possible.
Note
In countries where the tyre pressure monitoring system is legally
required, the use of wheels without
pressure sensors will invalidate the
vehicle type approval.
