2015 VAUXHALL ANTARA warning

Vehicle care1839Warning
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel
covers could lead to sudden
pressure loss and thereby
accidents.
Tyre chains
Tyre chains are only permitted on the
front wheels.
They must be fitted to the tyres
symmetrically in order to achieve a
concentric fit.
Always use fine mesh chains that add no more than 15 mm to the tyre tread
and the inboard sides (including chain lock).9 Warning
Damage may lead to tyre blowout.
Tyre chains are permitted only on
16 inch wheels. We recommend you consult a workshop.
If the use of tyre chains is required
after suffering a flat front tyre, fit the
temporary spare wheel on the rear
axle and transfer one of the rear
wheels to the front axle.
General
The use of tyre chains is not permitted on the temporary spare wheel.
Tyre repair kit
Minor damage to the tyre tread or
sidewall can be repaired with the tyre
repair kit.
Do not remove foreign bodies from
the tyres.
Tyre damage exceeding 4 mm or that
is at the tyre's sidewall near the rim
cannot be repaired with the tyre repair kit.
In vehicles with a tyre repair kit, there may not be a jack and vehicle tool kit.
Vehicle tools 3 175.
Temporary spare wheel 3 189.9 Warning
Do not drive faster than 50 mph.
Do not use for a lengthy period.
Steering and handling may be
affected.
If you have a flat tyre:
Apply the electrical parking brake
3 137 and engage first gear, reverse
gear or P.
The tyre repair kit is in a storage
compartment below the floor cover in the load compartment.
To remove the tyre repair kit, open the
tailgate.

Vehicle care187
■ Do not raise the vehicle more thanis necessary to change a wheel.
■ No people or animals may be in the
vehicle when it is jacked-up.
■ Never crawl under a jacked-up vehicle.
■ Do not start the engine when it is raised on the jack.
■ Clean wheel nuts and thread before
mounting the wheel.9 Warning
Do not grease wheel bolt, wheel
nut and wheel nut cone.
1. Pull off the wheel cover.
2. Install the wheel wrench ensuring that it locates securely and loosen
each wheel nut by one turn by
turning anticlockwise.
3. The location of front and rear jacking points is indicated by
notches on the bottom edge of the
vehicle, under the doors.
4. Before positioning the jack, set it to the necessary height by
rotating the eye by hand.
Position jack at the jacking point
located nearest to the wheel
concerned so that the jack claw
spans the vertical base. Ensure
the jack is positioned correctly.
The jack base must be on the
ground directly below the jacking
point in a manner that prevents it
from slipping.

190Vehicle care
Only mount one temporary spare
wheel. Do not drive faster than
50 mph. Take curves slowly. Do not
use for a long period of time.
When the temporary spare wheel is
fitted, do not take the vehicle through an automatic vehicle wash with guide rails. The temporary spare wheel may
get caught on the rails, causing
damage to the tyre, wheel and other
vehicle parts.
The use of tyre chains is not permitted on the temporary spare wheel.
Tyre chains 3 183.
Directional tyres Fit directional tyres such that they rollin the direction of travel. The rolling
direction is indicated by a symbol
(e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall.
The following applies to tyres fitted
opposing the rolling direction:
■ Driveability may be affected. Have the defective tyre renewed as soon
as possible and have the wheel
balanced and fitted to the vehicle.■ Do not drive faster than 50 mph.
■ Drive particularly carefully on wet and snow-covered road surfaces.9 Warning
Storing a jack, a wheel or other
equipment in the load
compartment could cause injury if they are not fixed in place
properly. During a sudden stop or
a collision, loose equipment could
cause personal injury or damage
to the vehicle.
Always store the jack and vehicle
tools in their respective storage
compartments and secure them properly.
Always place the damaged wheel
in the load compartment, secured
in the spare wheel well with the
screw-in retainer.
Jump starting
Do not start with quick charger.
A vehicle with a discharged battery can be started using jump leads and
the battery of another vehicle.9 Warning
Be extremely careful when starting
with jump leads. Any deviation
from the following instructions can
lead to injuries or damage caused
by battery explosion or damage to the electrical systems of both
vehicles.
9 Warning
Avoid contact of the battery with
eyes, skin, fabrics and painted
surfaces. The fluid contains
sulphuric acid which can cause
injuries and damage in the event
of direct contact.
■ Never expose the battery to naked flames or sparks.

198Service and maintenance
Confirmations
Confirmation of service is recorded in the Service and Warranty Booklet.The date and mileage is completed
with the stamp and signature of the servicing workshop.
Make sure that the Service and
Warranty Booklet is completed
correctly as continuous proof of
service is essential if any warranty or goodwill claims are to be met, and is
also a benefit when selling the
vehicle.
Service interval with remaining engine oil life duration The service interval is based on
several parameters depending on
usage.
The service display lets you know
when to change the engine oil.
Service display 3 81.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
specifications 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
ageing control, whereas viscosity
grade gives information on the oil's
thickness over a temperature range.
Dexos is the newest engine oil quality
that provides optimum protection for gasoline and diesel engines. If it is
unavailable, engine oils of other listed qualities have to be used.
Recommendations for petrol engines
are also valid for Ethanol (E85)
fuelled engines.
Select the appropriate engine oil
based on its quality and on the
minimum ambient temperature
3 202.
Topping up engine oil
Engine oils of different manufacturers
and brands can be mixed as long as
they comply with the required engine
oil quality and viscosity.
Use of engine oil with only
ACEA A1/B1 or only A5/B5 quality is
prohibited, since it can cause long-
term engine damage under certain
operating conditions.
