Automatic Engine Start/
Stop Feature
The stop-start system helps to save
fuel. When conditions allow, it
switches off the engine as soon as
the vehicle is at a low speed or at a
standstill, e.g. at a traffic light or in a
traffic jam. It starts the engine
automatically as soon as the clutch
is depressed. A vehicle battery sensor ensures that an Autostop is
only performed if the vehicle battery
is sufficiently charged for a restart.
Activation
The stop-start system is available
as soon as the engine is started, the
vehicle starts-off and the conditions
as stated below in this section are
fulfilled.
Deactivation
Deactivate the stop-start system
manually by pressing the button.
The deactivation is indicated by the
LED in the button extinguishing.
Autostop
If the vehicle is at a low speed or at
a standstill, activate an Autostop as
follows :
.
depress the clutch pedal
. set the lever in neutral
. release the clutch pedal
The engine will be switched off
while the ignition stays on.
An Autostop is indicated by the
needle at the AUTOSTOP position
in the tachometer.

Warning (Continued)
.Lock the vehicle and
activate the anti-theft alarm
system.
Note: In the event of an accident
with airbag deployment, the engine
is turned off automatically if the
vehicle comes to a standstill within
a certain time.
Engine Exhaust
{Danger
Engine exhaust gases contain
poisonous carbon monoxide,
which is colourless and odourless
and could be fatal if inhaled.
If exhaust gases enter the interior
of the vehicle, open the windows.
Have the cause of the fault
rectified by a workshop.
Avoid driving with an open load
compartment, otherwise exhaust
gases could enter the vehicle.
Catalytic Converter
The catalytic converter reduces the
amount of harmful substances in the
exhaust gases.
Caution
Fuel grades other than those
listed on pages
0Fuel (for Petrol
Engines) 0156,
0Engine Data
0 207 could damage the catalytic
converter or electronic
components.
Unburnt petrol will overheat and
damage the catalytic converter.
Therefore avoid excessive use of
the starter, running the fuel tank
dry and starting the engine by
pushing or towing.
In the event of misfiring, uneven
engine running, a reduction in
engine performance or other
unusual problems, have the cause
of the fault rectified by a workshop
as soon as possible. In an
emergency, driving can be
continued for a short period,
keeping vehicle speed and engine
speed low.

Fuel
Fuel (for Petrol Engines)
Only use unleaded fuel that
complies with European standard
EN 228 or E DIN 51626-1 or
equivalent.
Your engine is capable of running
with E10 fuel that fulfils these
standards. E10 fuel contains up to
10% bioethanol.
Use fuel with the recommended
octane rating
0Engine Data0207.
Use of fuel with too low an octane
rating can reduce engine power and
torque and slightly increases fuel
consumption.
Caution
Do not use fuel or fuel additives
that contain metallic compounds
such as manganese-based
additives. This may cause engine
damage.
Caution
Use of fuel that does not comply
to EN 228 or E DIN 51626-1 or
equivalent can lead to deposits or
engine damage and loss of
warranty.
Caution
Use of fuel with too low an octane
rating could lead to uncontrolled
combustion and engine damage.
Filling the Tank
{Danger
Before refuelling, switch off
engine and any external heaters
with combustion chambers.
Switch off any mobile phones.
Follow the operating and safety
instructions of the filling station
when refuelling.

Fuel Consumption -
CO2-Emissions
The fuel consumption (combined) of
the model Opel Karl is within a
range of to 52 to 58 mpg.
The CO
2emission (combined) is
within a range of 104 to 99 g/km.
For the values specific for your
vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate
of Conformity provided with your
vehicle or other national registration
documents.
General information
The official fuel consumption and
specific CO2emission figures
quoted relate to the EU base model
with standard equipment.
Fuel consumption data and CO
2
emission data are determined
according to regulation R (EC) No.
715/2007 (in the version
respectively applicable), taking into
consideration the vehicle weight in
running order, as specified by the
regulation. The figures are provided only for the
purpose of comparison between
different vehicle variants and must
not be taken as a guarantee for the
actual fuel consumption of a
particular vehicle. Additional
equipment may result in slightly
higher results than the stated
consumption and CO
2figures.
Furthermore, fuel consumption is
dependent on personal driving style
as well as road and traffic
conditions.

Directional tyres
Directional tyres must be mounted
so that they rotate in the correct
direction. The proper rotation
direction is indicated by a symbol
(e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall.
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 system.
Unscrew the valve cap.
Tyre pressure0Tyre
Pressure 0209.
The tyre pressure information label
on the left door frame indicates the
original equipment tyres and the
correspondent tyre pressures.
Always inflate the spare tyre to the
pressure specified for full load.
The ECO tyre pressure serves to
achieve the lowest fuel consumption
possible.
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 the engine identifier code.
0Engine Data 0207.
2. Identify the respective tyre.
The tyre pressure tables show all
possible tyre combinations
0Tyre
Pressure 0209 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.
{Warning
If the pressure is too low, this can
result in considerable tyre
warmup and internal damage,
leading to tread separation and
even to tyre blow-out at high
speeds.
If the tyre pressure must be reduced
or increased on a vehicle with tyre
pressure monitoring system, switch
off ignition.
After adjusting tyre pressure switch
on ignition and select the according
setting on the page Tyre load in the
Driver Information Centre,
