Child restraint systems
We recommend the following child
restraint systems which are tailored
specifically to the vehicle:
■ Group 0, Group 0+
Vauxhall Baby Safe, with or without
ISOFIX base, for children up to
13 kg
■ Group I
Vauxhall Duo ISOFIX, for children
from 9 kg to 18 kg
■ Group II, Group III
Vauxhall Kid, for children from
15 kg up to 36 kg
When a child restraint system is being used, pay attention to the following
usage and installation instructions
and also those supplied with the child
restraint system.
Always comply with local or national
regulations. In some countries, the
use of child restraint systems is
forbidden on certain seats.9 Warning
When using a child restraint
system on the front passenger
seat, the airbag systems for the
front passenger seat must be
deactivated; if not, the triggering of the airbags poses a risk of fatal
injury to the child.
This is especially the case if rear-
facing child restraint systems are
used on the front passenger seat.
Airbag deactivation 3 62.
Airbag label 3 57.
9 Warning
When using child restraint
systems on the rear seats, ensure that the backrests are engaged
securely in upright position.
Selecting the right system
The rear seats are the most
convenient location to fasten a child restraint system.

Dynamic automatic headlight
levelling
To prevent oncoming traffic from dazzle, headlight levelling is
automatically adjusted based on
inclination information measured by
front and rear axle, acceleration or
deceleration and vehicle speed.Fault in Adaptive forward
lighting system When the system detects a failure in
the Adaptive forward lighting system,
the system moves to a preset position to avoid dazzling of oncoming traffic.
If this is not possible, the affected
headlight will be automatically
switched off. In any case, one
headlight will stay on. A warning is
displayed in the Driver Information Centre.

headlights.Interior lighting
Instrument panel
illumination control
Brightness of the following lights can
be adjusted when the exterior lights
are on:
■ Instrument panel illumination
■ ambient light
■ dome light
■ Info-Display
■ Illuminated switches and operation elements.
Turn thumb wheel A and hold until
the desired brightness is obtained.
On vehicles with light sensor, the
brightness can only be adjusted when
the exterior lights are on and the light sensor detects night conditions.
Interior lights
During entry and exit of the vehicle,
the front and rear courtesy lights
automatically switch on and then off
after a delay.
Notice

lights are turned on automatically.

138Driving and operatingkey. Turn the front wheels
towards the kerb.
■ Close the windows and the soft top.
■ Remove the ignition key. Turn the steering wheel until the
steering wheel lock is felt to
engage.
For vehicles with automatic
transmission, the key can only
be removed when the selector
lever is in position P.
■ Lock the vehicle.
■ Activate the anti-theft alarm system.
Notice
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 exhaust9 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.
Diesel particle filter
The diesel particle filter system filters
harmful soot particles out of the
exhaust gases. The system includes
a self-cleaning function that runs
automatically during driving without
any notification. The filter is cleaned
by periodically burning off the soot
particles at high temperature. This
process takes place automatically
under set driving conditions and may
take up to 25 minutes. Typically it
needs between 7 and 12 minutes. Autostop is not available and fuel
consumption may be higher during
this period. The emission of smells and smoke during this process is
normal.
Under certain driving conditions, e.g.
short distances, the system cannot
clean itself automatically.
If the cleaning of the filter is required
and if previous driving conditions did
not enable automatic cleaning, it will
be indicated by control indicator %.
