Accessories and vehicle
modifications
We recommend using genuine parts and accessories and factory
approved parts specific for your
vehicle type. We cannot assess or guarantee reliability of other products
- even if they have a regulatory or
otherwise granted approval.
Do not make any modifications to the electrical system, e.g. changes of
electronic control units (chip tuning).Caution
When transporting the vehicle on
a train or on a recovery vehicle, the
mud flaps might be damaged.
Vehicle storage
Storage for a long period of time
Following must be done if the vehicle
should be stored for several months:
■ Wash and wax the vehicle.
■ Have the wax in the engine compartment and underbody
checked.
■ Clean and preserve rubber seals.
■ Fill up fuel tank completely.
■ Change engine oil.
■ Drain washer fluid reservoir.
■ Check coolant antifreeze.
■ Adjust tyre pressure to the value specified for full load.
■ Park vehicle in dry, well ventilated place. Engage first or reverse gear
or set selector lever to P. Prevent
the vehicle from rolling.
■ Do not apply parking brake.

Wiper blade on the rear window
Lift wiper arm. Disengage wiper bladeas shown in illustration and remove.
Bulb replacement
Switch off the ignition and switch off
the relevant switch or close the doors.
Only hold a new bulb at the base! Do not touch the bulb glass with bare
hands.
Use only the same bulb type for
replacement.
The bulbs of the front outer lights are
replaced through openings in the front wheel housing: turn wheels in a
way that allows access, release catch
and remove cover.
To replace bulbs on the right side of
the engine compartment, detach the
air hose from the air filter. On the left
side, detach the plug to the fuse box.
Halogen headlights
Headlights have separate systems forhigh beam 1 (inner bulbs) and low
beam 2 (outer bulbs).
Low beam 1. Replace bulbs through the opening in the wheel housing.

4. Push bulb into socket slightly, rotate anti-clockwise, remove and
renew bulb.
5. Insert bulb holder in reflector, rotate clockwise to engage.
6. Install protective cover.

Xenon headlights9 Danger
Xenon headlights work under
extremely high electrical voltage.
Do not touch. Except for the turn
signal bulbs, bulbs should be
replaced by a workshop.
Front turn signal
1. Access to the bulbs is through the
engine compartment.
2. Rotate bulb holder anti-clockwise to disengage.
3. Push bulb into socket slightly,rotate anti-clockwise, remove and
renew bulb.
4. Insert bulb holder in reflector, rotate clockwise to engage.
Fog lights
Have bulbs replaced by a workshop.

172Vehicle care
The jack and the vehicle tools are in
a pouch, secured to the stowage
compartment in the floor of the load
compartment with a rubber strap.
To close the lid, insert the lugs on its
front rim into the recesses and lock
into place.
Wheels and tyres
Tyre condition, wheel condition
Drive over edges slowly and at right
angles if possible. Driving over sharp
edges can cause tyre and wheel
damage. Do not trap tyres on the kerb when parking.
Regularly check the wheels for
damage. Seek the assistance of a
workshop in the event of damage or
unusual wear.
Tyres
Tyres of size 225/45 R 17 are only permitted if the vehicle is equipped
with electronic stability program.
Winter tyres
Winter tyres improve driving safety at temperatures below 7 °C and should
therefore be fitted on all wheels.Tyres of size 195/65 R 15,
195/60 R 16, 205/55 R 16 and
225/45 R 17 can be used as winter
tyres.
Tyres of size 205/50 R 17 must only
be used as winter tyres.
Tyres of size 225/40 R 18 1)
,
225/40 ZR 18 and 235/35 R 19 must not be used as winter tyres.
Winter tyres may only be used on the
Zafira VXR on special alloy wheels
approved by Vauxhall.
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.1) Zafira VXR: Permitted as winter tyres without tyre chains.

Vehicle care173
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. 50 mph
■ up to a distance of 50 miles9 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.
Tyre designations

195=Tyre width, mm65=Cross-section ratio (tyre
height to tyre width), %R=Belt type: RadialRF=Type: RunFlat15=Wheel diameter, inches91=Load index e.g. 91 is
equivalent to 618 kgH=Speed code letter
Speed code letter:
Q=up to 100 mphS=up to 112 mphT=up to 118 mphH=up to 130 mphV=up to 150 mphW=up to 168 mph
Tyre pressure
Check 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.

174Vehicle care
Remove the valve cap key from the
fuel filler flap and use it to unscrew the
valve cap.
On vehicles with tyre pressure
monitoring system, screw the adapter
to the valve.
Tyre pressure 3 205 and on the label
on the inside of the fuel filler flap.
The tyre pressure data refer to cold
tyres. It applies to summer and winter tyres.
Always inflate the spare wheel to the
pressure specified for full load.
The ECO tyre pressure serves to
achieve the smallest amount of fuel
consumption possible. It must not be used with run-flat tyres.
Incorrect tyre pressures will impair
safety, vehicle handling, comfort and
fuel economy and will increase tyre
wear.
Tyre pressures differ depending on
various options. For the correct tyre
pressure value, follow the procedure
below:
1. Identify drive axle and body style.
2. Identify the engine identifier code.
Engine data 3 200.
3. Identify the respective tyre.The tyre pressure tables show all
possible tyre combinations 3 205.
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.
Tyre pressure monitoring
system
The tyre pressure monitoring system
continually checks the pressure of all
four wheels when vehicle speed
exceeds a certain limit.
All wheels must be equipped with
pressure sensors and the tyres must
have the prescribed pressure.
