Driving and operating139
Activation
At speeds below approx. 30 mph,
press button u. The green control
indicator u flashes in the instrument
cluster, to show DCS is in operation.
DCS will not activate at speeds above 30 mph, even if the button is pressed.
Deactivation
Press button u again. The green
control indicator u extinguishes.
Depressing the foot brake or
accelerator will also cause the system to be deactivated.
Fault
The yellow control indicator u flashes
to indicate that the system is not
ready for conditions to operate, due to
the high temperature (approx.
350 - 400 °C) of friction material,
through severe or repeated braking. It
will extinguish when the temperature
drops below 350 °C.
The yellow control indicator u
illuminates when there is a
malfunction in the system, due to the
extremely high temperature
(over 400 °C) of friction material, through severe or repeated braking. It will extinguish when the temperature
drops below 350 °C. These
temperatures may differ according to
vehicle conditions or outside
conditions.
Flashing or illumination of the yellow
control indicator u reminds the driver
that the friction material needs to cool down: drive the vehicle without
braking as much as possible. If the
control indicator does not extinguish,
have the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop.DSC control indicators u 3 86.
Automatic level control
The rear level of the vehicle is
automatically adjusted to the load
conditions while driving. Suspension
and ground clearance are increased,
which improves driving conditions.
The automatic level control is
activated after the vehicle has been
driven for some distance, depending
on the vehicle load and the road
conditions.
Do not use full payload in the event of a fault. Have the cause of the fault
remedied by a workshop.
Headlight range adjustment 3 106.

140Driving and operatingDriver assistance
systems9 Warning
Driver assistance systems are
developed to support the driver
and not to replace the driver's
attention.
The driver accepts full
responsibility when driving the
vehicle.
When using driver assistance
systems, always take care
regarding the current traffic
situation.
Cruise control
The cruise control can store and
maintain speeds above 25 mph.
Deviations from the stored speeds
may occur when driving uphill or
downhill.
For safety reasons the cruise control
cannot be activated until the foot
brake has been operated once.
Do not use the cruise control if it is not advisable to maintain a constant
speed.
With automatic transmission, only activate cruise control in automatic
mode.

30 cm, the signal is continuous. The
acoustic signal may differ depending
on the type of object detected.
Deactivation
To deactivate, press the button again
and the LED in the button will
extinguish. The control indicator r
in the instrument cluster will illuminate
until the vehicle speed exceeds
18 mph.
The system is deactivated
automatically when the vehicle speed is above 5 mph or when selector leveris in neutral (automatic transmission
in N or P).
If the b button is pressed again, the
LED in the button will extinguish and
the system will be reactivated as soon
as a forward gear or reverse gear is
engaged and the electrical parking
brake is released.
Fault
In the event of a fault in the system,
control indicator r illuminates in the
instrument cluster.If the acoustic signal sounds 3 times
continuously when there are no
obstacles near the front or rear
bumper, there is a fault in the system. Have the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop.
Important hints for using the
parking assist system9 Warning
Under certain circumstances,
various reflective surfaces on
objects or clothing as well as
external noise sources may cause the system to fail to detect
obstacles.
Special attention has to be paid to
low obstacles which can damage
the lower part of the bumper.
Caution
Performance of the system can be reduced when sensors are
covered, e.g. by ice or snow.
Performance of the parking assist
system can be reduced due to
heavy loading.
Special conditions apply if there
are taller vehicles in the vicinity
(e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans,
vans). Object identification and correct distance indication in the
upper part of these vehicles
cannot be guaranteed.
Objects with a very small reflection
cross-section, e.g. objects of
narrow size or soft materials, may
not be detected by the system.
Parking assist systems do not
detect objects outside the
detection range.

Driving and operating145
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 84.
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 Vauxhall Antara is within a
range of 25 to 45 mpg.
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.

146Driving and operatingTrailer hitch
General information
The coupling ball bar is kept in a bag,
fastened with a strap and is stowed
below the floor cover in the load
compartment.
Only use towing equipment that has
been approved for your vehicle.
Entrust retrofitting of towing
equipment to a workshop. It may be
necessary to make changes that
affect the cooling system, heat
shields or other equipment.
Control indicator á illuminates in the
instrument cluster when a trailer is
connected to the vehicle 3 90.
Driving characteristics and
towing tips In the case of trailers with brakes,
attach the break-away stopping cable
to the eye - not to the coupling ball
bar.If no eye is available, loop cable
around coupling ball bar. Ensure
cable is crossed under the vertical
coupling socket to ensure the trailer
nose cannot drop to the ground if it
becomes separated from the trailer
hitch. Do not allow the cable to drag
along the ground and always allow
enough slack to permit full turning.
Follow the instructions supplied with
the towing equipment.
Before attaching a trailer, lubricate
the coupling ball. However, do not do
so if a stabiliser, which acts on the coupling ball, is being used to reduce snaking movements. For trailers with
low driving stability, the use of a
friction-type stabiliser is strongly
recommended.
Do not drive faster than 50 mph, even
in countries where higher speeds are
permitted. When driving uphill, do not drive faster than 20 mph in 1st gear,
or 30 mph in 2nd gear.
If the trailer starts snaking, drive more slowly, do not attempt to correct the
steering and brake sharply if
necessary.When driving downhill, drive in the
same gear as if driving uphill and
drive at a similar speed.
Adjust tyre pressure to the value
specified for full load 3 207.
Trailer towing Trailer loads
The permissible trailer loads are
vehicle-dependent and engine-
dependent maximum values which
must not be exceeded. The actual
trailer load is the difference between
the actual gross weight of the trailer
and the actual coupling socket load
with the trailer coupled.
When the trailer load is being
checked, therefore, only the trailer
wheels - and not the jockey wheel -
must be standing on the weighing
apparatus.
The permissible trailer loads are
specified in the vehicle documents. In general, they are valid for gradients
up to max. 12 %.

Vehicle care159
operation 3 times or more while theengine is switched off, to avoid air
entering the fuel line.
Check diesel fuel filter at shorter
intervals if the vehicle is subjected to
extreme operating conditions.
If there is water in the diesel fuel filter, control indicator U illuminates in the
instrument cluster 3 89. Drain the
water immediately.
Diesel fuel system
bleeding
If the fuel tank has been run dry, the
diesel fuel system must be bled.
Switch on the ignition three times for
15 seconds at a time. Then crank the
engine for a maximum of 40 seconds. If the engine will not start, wait at least 10 seconds before trying
again. If the engine fails to start, seek the assistance of a workshop.Wiper blade replacement

192Vehicle care
Wheels and tyres
Do not use high-pressure jet
cleaners.
Clean rims with a pH-neutral wheel
cleaner.
Rims are painted and can be treated
with the same agents as the body.
Paintwork damage Rectify minor paintwork damage with
a touch-up pen before rust forms.
Have more extensive damage or rust areas repaired by a workshop.
Underbody Some areas of the vehicle underbody
have a PVC undercoating while other
critical areas have a durable
protective wax coating.
After the underbody is washed, check the underbody and have it waxed if
necessary.
Bitumen/rubber materials could
damage the PVC coating. Have
underbody work carried out by a
workshop.Before and after winter, wash the
underbody and have the protective
wax coating checked.
Towing equipment Do not clean the coupling ball bar with
a steam-jet or high-pressure jet
cleaner.
Rear carrier system Clean the rear carrier system with a
steam-jet or high-pressure jet cleaner
at least once a year.
Operate the rear carrier system once
in a while if not in regular use, in
particular during winter.
Interior care
Interior and upholstery Only clean the vehicle interior,
including the instrument panel fascia
and panelling, with a dry cloth or
interior cleaner.
Clean the leather upholstery with
clear water and a soft cloth. In case of heavy soiling, use leather care.The instrument cluster and the
displays should only be cleaned using
a soft damp cloth. If necessary use a
weak soap solution.
Clean fabric upholstery with a
vacuum cleaner and brush. Remove
stains with an upholstery cleaner.
Clothing fabrics may not be
colourfast. This could cause visible discolourations, especially on light-
coloured upholstery. Removable
stains and discolourations should be
cleaned as soon as possible.
Clean seat belts with lukewarm water or interior cleaner.Caution
Close Velcro fasteners as open
Velcro fasteners on clothing could damage seat upholstery.
The same applies to clothing with
sharp-edged objects, like zips or
