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.

Fuses
Data on the replacement fuse must
match the data on the defective fuse.
The vehicle has two fuse boxes: one
behind a cover on the left side of the
load compartment and one in the front
left of the engine compartment.
Store spare fuses in the load
compartment fuse box version B.
Open the cover 3 169.
Before replacing a fuse, turn off the
respective switch and the ignition.
A blown fuse can be recognised by its melted wire. Do not replace the fuse
until the cause of the fault has been
remedied.
Some functions are protected by
several fuses.
Fuses may also be inserted without existence of a function.

Vehicle care175
Otherwise, the tyre pressure will be
monitored by the deflation detection
system 3 175.
Notice
In countries where the tyre pressure
monitoring system is legally
required, the use of wheels without
pressure sensors will invalidate the
vehicle type approval.
The current tyre pressures can be
shown in the Info-Display 3 106.
Vehicle messages, tyre pressure
3 101.
Control indicator w 3 90.
If a complete set of wheels without
sensors is mounted (e.g. four winter
tyres), no error message will be
displayed. The tyre pressure
monitoring system is not operational.
Retrofitting of sensors is possible.
The use of commercially available
liquid tyre repair kits can impair the
function of the system. Factory-
approved repair kits can be used.
External high-power radio equipment
could disrupt the tyre pressure
monitoring system.System initialisation
After a wheel change, the system
must be initialised: inflate the tyres to
the prescribed pressure, switch on
the ignition, then press and hold the
DDS button for approx. 4 seconds;
control indicator w flashes three
times.
Tyre deflation detection
system
The tyre deflation detection system
continually checks the rotation speed
of all four tyres.
If a tyre loses pressure the control
indicator w illuminates red. Stop
immediately and check tyre pressure.
Control indicator w 3 90.
System initialisation
After tyre pressure correction or
wheel change, the system must be
initialised: Switch on the ignition,
press and hold the DDS button for
approx. 4 seconds, control indicator
w flashes three times.

186Vehicle care
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 towing eye.
The towing eye must only be used for towing and not recovering the vehicle.
Switch on ignition to release steering
wheel lock and to permit operation of
brake lamps, horn and windscreen
wiper.
Open&Start system 3 28.
Transmission in neutral.
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.
To prevent the entry of exhaust gases from the towing vehicle, switch on the
air recirculation and close the
windows.
Vehicles with automatic transmission
must be towed facing forwards, not faster than 50 mph nor further than
60 miles . In all other cases and when
the transmission is defective, the front
axle must be raised off the ground.
Seek the assistance of a workshop.
Manual transmission automated
3 134.
After towing, unscrew the towing eye
and refit the cover.
Towing another vehicle
Disengage cap at bottom and remove
downwards.
The towing eye is stowed with the
vehicle tools 3 171.

192Service and maintenance
Fixed service interval
When service is due, InSP appears in
the service display for approx.
10 seconds when the ignition is
switched on. Have the next service
performed by a workshop within
one week or 300 miles (whichever
occurs first).
Flexible service interval
The service interval is based on
several parameters depending on
usage and is calculated using these
parameters.
If the remaining distance is less than
1000 miles, InSP is displayed with a
remaining distance of 600 miles when
the ignition is switched on and off. If
less than 600 miles remain, InSP is
displayed for several seconds. Have
the next service performed by a
workshop within one week or
300 miles (whichever occurs first).Display of remaining distance:
1. Switch off ignition.
2. Briefly press the trip odometer reset button. The odometer
reading is shown.
3. Press and hold the reset button for
about 2 seconds. InSP and the
remaining distance are displayed.Recommended fluids,
lubricants and parts
Recommended fluids and
lubricants Only use products that meet the
recommended specifications.
Damage resulting from the use of
products not in line with these
specifiations will not be covered by
the warranty.9 Warning
Operating materials are
hazardous and could be
poisonous. Handle with care. Pay
attention to information given on
the containers.
Engine oil
Engine oil is identified by its quality
and its viscosity. Quality is more
important than viscosity when
selecting which engine oil to use. The oil quality ensures e.g. engine
cleanliness, wear protection and oil

Customer information209
■ Vehicle reactions in particulardriving situations (e.g. inflation of
an airbag, activation of the stability
regulation system)
■ Environmental conditions (e.g. temperature)
These data are exclusively technical
and help identifying and correcting
errors as well as optimizing vehicle
functions.
Motion profiles indicating travelled
routes cannot be created with these
data.
If services are used (e.g. repair
works, service processes, warranty cases, quality assurance),
employees of the service network
(manufacturer included) are able to
read out this technical information
from the event and error data storage
modules applying special diagnostic
devices. If required, you will receive
further information at these
workshops. After an error has been
corrected, the data are deleted from
the error storage module or they are
constantly overwritten.When using the vehicle, situations
may occur in which these technical
data related to other information
(accident report, damages on the
vehicle, witness statements etc.) may be associated with a specific person -
possibly, with the assistance of an
expert.
Additional functions contractually
agreed upon with the client (e.g.
vehicle location in emergency cases)
allow the transmission of particular vehicle data from the vehicle.Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID) RFID technology is used in somevehicles for functions such as tyre
pressure monitoring and ignition
system security. It is also used in
connection with conveniences such
as radio remote controls for door
locking/unlocking and starting, and in-
vehicle transmitters for garage door
openers. RFID technology in
Vauxhall vehicles does not use or
record personal information or link with any other Vauxhall system
containing personal information.
