system.
Locks 3 175.
Lock cylinders
Designed to free-wheel if they are
forcefully rotated without the correct
key or if the correct key is not fully
inserted. To reset, turn cylinder with
the correct key until its slot is vertical, remove key and then re-insert it. If the
cylinder still free-wheels, turn the key through 180° and repeat operation.
Car Pass
The Car Pass contains security
related vehicle data and should
therefore be kept in a safe place.When the vehicle is taken to a
workshop, this vehicle data is needed in order to perform certain operations.
Radio remote control
Used to operate: ■ Central locking system
■ Anti-theft locking system
■ Anti-theft alarm system
Depending on model, the vehicle may use a 2-button or 3-button remote
control.
Keys, doors and windows19
The remote control has a range of
approx. 5 metres. It can be affected
by external influences. The hazard
warning flashers confirm operation.
Handle with care, protect it from
moisture and high temperatures and
avoid unnecessary operation.
Fault If the central locking system cannot
be operated with the remote control,
it may be due to the following:
■ Range exceeded.
■ Battery voltage too low.
■ Frequent, repeated operation of the
remote control while not in range,
which will require reprogramming
by a workshop.
■ Interference from higher-power radio waves from other sources.
Unlocking 3 20.
Remote control battery
replacement
Replace the battery as soon as the
range reduces.
Batteries do not belong in household
waste. They must be disposed of at
an appropriate recycling collection
point.
Remove screw and open battery
compartment by inserting a coin into
the slot and twisting.
Replace the battery (battery type
CR2016), paying attention to the
installation position.
Reattach both halves of cover
ensuring it engages correctly.
Replace screw and tighten.

security lock.
160Vehicle care
Tyre pressures differ depending onvarious options. For the correct tyre
pressure value, follow the procedure
below:
1. Identify the engine identifier code.
Engine data 3 185.
2. Identify the respective tyre.
The tyre pressure tables show all possible tyre combinations 3 201.
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.
Rear-wheel drive, with twin rear
wheels When inflating the outer tyre, the
inflation tube should be passed
between the two wheels.
Tyre pressure monitoring
system
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) uses radio and
sensor technology to check tyre
pressure levels.Caution
Tyre pressure monitoring system
warns only about low tyre pressure
condition and does not replace
regular tyre maintenance by the
driver.
All wheels must be equipped with pressure sensors and the tyres must
have the prescribed pressure.
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 TPMS sensors monitor the air
pressure in the tyres and transmit tyre pressure readings to a receiver
located in the vehicle.
Tyre pressures in display The current tyre pressures can be
shown in the Driver Information
Centre 3 84.
162Vehicle care
Relearn function
After changing the wheels, TPMS
needs to recalculate.
With the vehicle stationary, select the tyre pressure menu in the Driver
Information Centre by pressing button
on end of wiper lever. Press and hold button for approx. 4 seconds to
initialise recalculation. A
corresponding message appears in
the Driver Information Centre.
The relearn process is completed
after driving approx. 6 miles or
10 minutes. The system can only
provide limited information during this time.
If problems occur during the relearn
process, control indicator w remains
illuminated and a warning message is displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.
Driver Information Centre 3 84.
Vehicle messages 3 85.
General information
The use of commercially available
liquid tyre repair kits can impair the
function of the system. Factory-
approved tyre repair kits can be used.
Tyre repair kit 3 164.
External high-power radio equipment
could disrupt the TPMS.
Each time the tyres are replaced,
TPMS sensors must be dismounted
and serviced by a workshop.Tread depth
Check tread depth at regular
intervals.
Tyres should be replaced for safety
reasons at a tread depth of 2-3 mm (4 mm for winter tyres).
For safety reasons it is recommended
that the tread depth of the tyres on
one axle should not vary by more than 2 mm.
The legally permissible minimum
tread depth (1.6 mm) has been
reached when the tread has worn
down as far as one of the tread wear

and privacy
Event data recorders
Data storage modules in the
vehicle
A large number of electronic
components of your vehicle contain
data storage modules temporarily or
permanently storing technical data
about the condition of the vehicle,
events and errors. In general, this
technical information documents the
condition of parts, modules, systems
or the environment:
■ Operating conditions of system components (e.g. filling levels)
■ Status messages of the vehicle and
its single components (e.g. number of wheel revolutions / rotational
speed, deceleration, lateral
acceleration)
■ Dysfunctions and defects in important system components
204Customer information
■ 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.
