Wind deflector
The rear seats cannot be occupied
when the wind deflector is in place.
Do not place any objects on the wind deflector.
With tyre repair kit, the wind deflector is folded down into a storage
compartment in the load

Stowage of coupling ball bar
In Saloons, the coupling ball bar is in
a pouch, fastened in the load
compartment cargo box with a strap.
In Station wagons, the coupling ball
bar is fastened with a strap in a
compartment in the spare wheel well
of the load compartment.
Fitting the coupling ball bar
Fold down the socket. Remove the
sealing plug from the hole for the
coupling ball bar and stow it in the
load compartment.
Checking the tensioning of the
coupling ball bar
■ Red marking on rotary knob must
point towards white marking on
coupling ball bar.
■ The gap between the rotary knob and the coupling ball bar must beapprox. 4 millimetres.
■ Key must be at position c ( 1).
Otherwise, the coupling ball bar must be tensioned before being inserted:
■ Unlock coupling ball bar by turning key to position c ( 1)

Tyres of size 185/65 R 15,
195/60 R 15, 195/65 R 15 and
205/55 R 16 can be used as winter
tyres.
Tyres of size 205/50 R17 must only
be used as winter tyres.
Tyres of size 215/45 R 17,
225/45 R 17, 225/40 R 18 1)
,
225/40 ZR18 and 235/35 R 19 must not be used as winter tyres.
Saloon, Station wagon, Van: tyres of
size 215/45 R 17 are only approved
as winter tyres if the vehicle was equipped with 18-inch wheels in the
factory.
Winter tyres may only be used on the Astra OPC on special alloy wheels
approved by Opel.
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.
1) Astra OPC: Permitted as winter tyres without tyre chains.
