Warning (Continued)
To reduce the operating forces of
the parking brake, depress the
foot brake at the same time.
See Brake and Clutch System
Warning Light 071.
Brake Assist
If the brake pedal is depressed
quickly and forcefully, maximum
brake force is automatically applied
(full braking).
Maintain continuous pressure on the
brake pedal for as long as full
braking is required. Maximum brake
force is automatically reduced when
the brake pedal is released.
Hill Start Assist (HSA)
The system helps prevent
unintended movement when driving
away on inclines.
When releasing the foot brake after
stopping on an incline, the brakes
remain on for a further two seconds.
The brakes release automatically as
soon as the vehicle begins to
accelerate.
The hill start assist is not active
during an Autostop.
Ride Control Systems
Traction Control
System (TCS)
The Traction Control system (TC) is
a component of the Electronic
Stability Control system.
TC improves driving stability when
necessary, regardless of the tyre of
road surface or tyre grip, by
preventing the drive wheels from
spinning.
As soon as the drive wheels starts
to spin, engine output is reduced
and the wheel spinning the most is
braked individually. This
considerably improves the driving
stability of the vehicle on slippery
road surfaces.
TC is operational as soon as the
control indicator
Gextinguishes.
When TC is active
Gflashes.

ESC is reactivated by pressing
d
again. If the TC system was
previously disabled, both TC and
ESC are reactivated.
ESC is also reactivated the next
time the ignition is switched on.
Fault
If there is a fault in the system the
control indicator
gilluminates
continuously and a message or a
warning code appears in the Driver
Information Centre. The system is
not operational.
Have the cause of the fault
remedied by a workshop.
City mode
City mode is a feature which
enables increased steering
assistance during lower speed
conditions, e.g. city traffic or
parking. Steering assistance is
increased for greater convenience. Activation
Press
“CITY” when engine is
running. The system works from
standstill up to 37 mph, and in
reverse gear. Above this speed the
system changes to normal mode.
When activated, City mode engages
automatically below 37 mph.
An illuminated LED in the City mode
button indicates that the system is
active.

Object Detection
Systems
Parking Assist (Rear
parking assist)
{Warning
It is the driver who bears full
responsibility for the parking
manoeuvre.
Always check the surrounding
area while reversing and using
the rear parking assist system.
Vauxhall Viva Owner Manual (GMK-Localizing-EU RHD-9231169) - 2016 -
CRC - 5/7/15
Driving and Operating 151
The rear parking assist makes
parking easier by measuring the
distance between the vehicle and
rear obstacles. It informs and warns
the driver by giving acoustic signals
and display indication.
The system has three ultrasonic
parking sensors in the rear bumper.
Note:The attached parts in the
detection area cause system
malfunction.
Activation
When reverse gear is engaged, the
system is activated automatically.
An obstacle is indicated by audio.
The interval between the audios
becomes shorter as the vehicle gets
closer to the obstacle. When the
distance is less than 40 cm, the
audio sounds continue.
{Warning
Under certain circumstances,
various reflective surfaces on
objects or clothing as well as
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
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.
Deactivation
The system automatically switches
off when reverse gear is
disengaged.
The system might not detect the
obstacle when the vehicle is driven
above a 6 mph.
Fault
In the event of a fault in the system,Xilluminates.
Additionally if the system does not
work due to temporary conditions
like snow covered sensors,
X
illuminates.
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 involved in the
parking scene (e.g. off-road
vehicles, MPVs, vans, campers,
trailers and trucks). Object
identification and correct distance
indication in the upper part of
these vehicles cannot be
guaranteed.
Objects with a very small
reflection cross section, like
objects of narrow size or soft
materials, may not be detected by
the system.
Parking assist will not detect
objects out of the detection range.

Vehicles with spare wheel
The jack and the vehicle tools are in
the load compartment.
SeeTyre Changing 0188.
See Compact Spare Tyre 0191.
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.
We recommend not swapping the
front wheels with the rear wheels
and vice versa, as this can affect
vehicle stability. Always use less
worn tyres on the rear axle.
Winter Tyres
Winter tyres improve driving safety
at temperatures below 7 °C and
should therefore be fitted on all
wheels.
In accordance with country-specific
regulations, affix the speed sticker
in the driver's field of view.
