2014 VAUXHALL ANTARA brake

180Vehicle care9Warning
Do not drive faster than 50 mph.
Do not use for a lengthy period.
Steering and handling may be
affected.
If you have a flat tyre:
Apply the electrical parking brake
3 136 and engage first gear, reverse
gear or P.
The tyre repair kit is in a storage
compartment below the floor cover in the load compartment.
To remove the tyre repair kit, open the
tailgate.
Pull the floor cover handle upwards
3 68.
Vehicle tools 3 173.
Caution
Do not allow objects to protrude
above the top of the rear floor
storage compartment, to avoid
damage to the storage area and
the load compartment floor.
1. Release the sealant filler hose 1
and the power plug 2.
2. Unscrew valve cap from defective
tyre.
Screw the sealant filler hose onto
the tyre valve.
3. Connect the power plug to the power outlet. Unplug all items
from other power outlets.
4. Switch on ignition. To avoid discharging the battery, werecommend running the engine.
5. Turn the selector switch anticlockwise to the sealant ＋
air position.

Vehicle care183
Make the following preparations and
observe the following information:
■ Park the vehicle on a level, firm and
non-slippery surface. The front wheels must be in the straight-ahead position.
■ Apply the electrical parking brake 3 136 and engage first gear,
reverse gear or P.
■ Remove the spare wheel 3 185.
■ Never change more than one wheel
at a time.
■ Block wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be changed, by placing
wedge blocks or equivalent in front
and behind the wheel.
■ Use the jack only to change wheels
in case of puncture, not for
seasonal winter or summer tyre
changes.
■ Never exceed jack maximum working load (900 kg).
■ If the ground on which the vehicle is standing is soft, a solid board
(max. 1 cm thick) should be placed
under the jack.■ Do not raise the vehicle more than is necessary to change a wheel.
■ No people or animals may be in the
vehicle when it is jacked-up.
■ Never crawl under a jacked-up vehicle.
■ Do not start the engine when it is raised on the jack.
■ Clean wheel nuts and thread before
mounting the wheel.9 Warning
Do not grease wheel bolt, wheel
nut and wheel nut cone.
1. Pull off the wheel cover.
2. Install the wheel wrench ensuring that it locates securely and loosen
each wheel nut by one turn by
turning anticlockwise.
3. The location of front and rear jacking points is indicated by
notches on the bottom edge of the
vehicle, under the doors.

Vehicle care187Jump starting
Do 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 alreadyfreeze at a temperature 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. The Infotainment
system may be damaged if
switched on while jump starting.
■ 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 electrical parking brake 3 136, transmission in neutral,
automatic transmission in P.
■ Open the positive terminal protection caps of both batteries.
Lead connection order:
1. Connect the red lead to the positive terminal 1 of the booster
battery.
2. Connect the other end of the red lead to the positive terminal 2 of
the discharged battery.

Vehicle care189
Screw in the towing eye as far as it will
go until it stops in a horizontal
position.
Attach a tow rope - or better still a tow
rod - to the front towing eye, never to
the bumper or front suspension units.
Do not tow the vehicle from the rear.
The front towing eye must only be
used for towing and not recovering a
vehicle.
Switch on ignition to release steering
wheel lock and to permit operation of
brake lights, horn and windscreen
wiper.
Transmission in neutral.
Turn key to ignition switch position
ACC and release the electrical
parking brake before towing the
vehicle.Caution
Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.
Excessive tractive force can
damage the vehicle.
When the engine is not running,
considerably more force is needed to
brake and steer.
Keep tow rope clear of front bumper, and ensure it is securely fixed to the
towing eye at both ends. Pull on the tow rope to check.
To prevent the entry of exhaust gases from the towing vehicle, switch on the
air recirculation system 3 115 and
close the windows.
Vehicles with manual transmission:
The vehicle must be towed facing
forwards. The maximum speed is
55 mph. In all other cases, and when
the transmission is defective, the front axle must be raised off the ground.
Vehicles with automatic transmission:
Do not tow the vehicle using the
towing eye. Towing with a tow rope
could cause severe damage to the
transmission. When towing a vehicle
with automatic transmission, use flat
bed or wheel lift equipment.
Seek the assistance of a workshop.
After towing, unscrew the towing eye
and replace the spoiler lip. Store
towing eye in the storage
compartment below the floor cover in the load compartment.
Vehicle tools 3 173.

196Service and maintenance
Select the appropriate engine oil
based on its quality and on the
minimum ambient temperature
3 199.
Additional engine oil additives
The use of additional engine oil
additives could cause damage and
invalidate the warranty.
Engine oil viscosity
The SAE viscosity grade gives
information of the thickness of the oil.
Multigrade oil is indicated by two
figures, e.g. SAE 5W-30. The first
figure, followed by a W, indicates the
low temperature viscosity and the
second figure the high temperature viscosity.
Select the appropriate viscosity grade
depending on the minimum ambient
temperature 3 199.
All of the recommended viscosity
grades are suitable for high ambient
temperatures.Coolant and antifreeze
Use only silicate-free long life coolant
(LLC) antifreeze. Consult a
workshop.
The system is factory filled with
coolant designed for excellent
corrosion protection and frost
protection down to approx. -28 °C. In
northern countries with very low
temperatures the factory filled coolant
provides frost protection down to
approx. -37°C. This concentration
should be maintained all year round.
The use of additional coolant
additives that intend to give additional corrosion protection or seal against
minor leaks can cause function
problems. Liability for consequences
resulting from the use of additional
coolant additives will be rejected.
Brake and clutch fluid Only use high-performance DOT4+
brake fluid approved for the vehicle.
Consult a workshop.Over time, brake fluid absorbs
moisture which will reduce braking
effectiveness. The brake fluid should
therefore be replaced at the specified
interval.
Brake fluid should be stored in a
sealed container to avoid water
absorption.
Ensure brake fluid does not become contaminated.
