2017.5 OPEL ANTARA climate control

118Climate controlNote
If A/C is switched on, reducing the
set cabin temperature can cause the engine to restart from an Autostop or
inhibit an Autostop.
Stop-start system 3 126.
Manual settings
Climate control system settings can
be changed by pressing A/C or by
adjusting the fan speed or air
distribution switch. Changing a
setting will deactivate Automatic
mode.
To return to Automatic mode: Press
AUTO .
Cooling A/C 3 115.
Fan speed x
To deactivate Automatic mode,
change fan speed manually or turn
fan to position off x.
To return to Automatic mode: Switch
on fan and press AUTO.
Air distribution
Press appropriate button for desired
adjustment. Activation is indicated by illumination of the LED in the button.M:to head area via adjustable air

All combinations are possible.
To return to Automatic mode: Press
AUTO .
Automatic air recirculation t
The automatic air recirculation
system has an air quality sensor
which switches on automatically if
harmful ambient gases are detected.
Operated by pressing t. Activation is
indicated by illumination of the LED in
the button.
The automatic air recirculation
system is only operational if the
engine is running.

Climate control1199Warning
The exchange of fresh air is
reduced in air recirculation mode.
In operation without cooling the air humidity increases, so the
windows may mist up from inside.
The quality of the passenger
compartment air deteriorates,
which may cause the vehicle
occupants to feel drowsy.
Demisting and defrosting
● Press V. Activation is indicated
by illumination of the LED in the
button.
● Set fan to the desired speed.
Air recirculation mode 4 is
automatically switched off.
Cooling A/C switches on.
● Switch on heated rear window RÜ .
To switch off window demisting and defrosting, press V again,
press AUTO , adjust fan speed or air
distribution switch.
Activated demisting and defrosting
may inhibit autostops. Stop-start
system 3 126.Air vents
Adjustable air vents At least one air vent must be open
while the cooling A/C is on.
To open and close the vents, turn the
horizontal adjuster wheel to the left or right.
Open air vents when air distribution switch is set to M or L.
The air supply is increased by
switching on the fan.
Control the air temperature at the side
air vents by adjusting the temperature
control switch.

120Climate control
Direct the flow of air by tilting and
swivelling the slats.
9 Warning
Do not attach any objects to the
slats of the air vents. Risk of
damage and injury in case of an
accident.
Fixed air vents
Additional air vents are located
beneath the windscreen, door
windows and in the front and rear foot wells.
The area underneath the front seats
must be kept clear, to allow air flow to
the rear passenger foot well.Maintenance
Air intake
The air intakes in front of the
windscreen in the engine
compartment must be kept clear to
allow air intake. Remove any leaves,
dirt or snow.
Pollen filter Cabin air filtration A particle filter cleans the cabin air
from dust, soot, pollen and spores.

Climate control121Active carbon filter
In addition to the particle filter the active carbon filter reduces odours.
Air conditioning regularoperation
In order to ensure continuously
efficient performance, cooling must
be operated for a few minutes once a
week, irrespective of the weather and time of year. Operation with cooling is
not possible when outside
temperature is too low.
ServiceFor optimal cooling performance, it is
recommended to annually check the
climate control system, starting
three years after initial vehicle
registration, including:
● functionality and pressure test
● heating functionality
● leakage check
● check of drive belts● cleaning of condenser and evaporator drainage
● performance check
Note
Refrigerant R-134a contains
fluorinated greenhouse gases.

Driving and operating127The engine will be switched off whilethe ignition stays on.
An Autostop is indicated by the
needle at the AUTOSTOP position in
the tachometer.
During an Autostop, the heating, power steering and brake
performance will be maintained.
Air conditioning system may or may
not inhibit the stop-start system
according to the cooling performance.
Caution
The steering assist can be
reduced during an Autostop.
Conditions for an Autostop
The stop-start system checks if each
of the following conditions is fulfilled.
● The stop-start system is not manually deactivated
● the bonnet is fully closed
● the driver's door is closed or the driver's seat belt is fastened
● the vehicle battery is sufficiently charged and in good condition
● the engine is warmed up
● the engine coolant temperature is
not too high or low
● the engine exhaust temperature is not too high, e.g. after driving
with high engine load
● the ambient temperature is not too low
● the defrosting function is not activated
● the climate control system does not inhibit an engine stop
● the brake vacuum is sufficient● the self-cleaning function of the diesel particle filter is not active
● the vehicle has moved since the last Autostop
Otherwise an Autostop will be
inhibited.
Certain settings of the climate control
system may inhibit an Autostop. See
"Climate control" chapter for more
details 3 116.
Immediately after motorway driving
an Autostop may be inhibited.
New vehicle running-in 3 124.
Vehicle battery discharge protection
To ensure reliable engine restarts,
several vehicle battery discharge
protection features are implemented
as part of the stop-start system.
Restart of the engine by the driver Depress the clutch pedal to restart the
engine.
The engine start is indicated by the
needle at the idle speed position in
the tachometer.

128Driving and operatingIf the selector lever is shifted out of
neutral before depressing the clutch
first, control indicator - illuminates.
Control indicator - 3 90.
Restart of the engine by the stop- start system
The selector lever must be in neutral to enable an automatic restart.
If one of the following conditions occurs during an Autostop, the
engine will be restarted automatically
by the stop-start system.
● The stop-start system is manually deactivated
● the bonnet is opened
● the driver's seat belt is unfastened and the driver's door
is opened
● the engine temperature is too low
● the charging level of the vehicle battery is below a defined level
● the brake vacuum is not sufficient
● the vehicle is driven at least at walking speed
● the defrosting function is activated● the climate control systemrequests an engine start
● the air conditioning is manually switched on
If an electrical accessory, e.g. a
portable CD player, is connected to
the power outlet, a brief power drop
during restart might be noticeable.
Parking9 Warning
● Do not park the vehicle on an
easily ignitable surface. The
high temperature of the
exhaust system could ignite the
surface.
● Always apply the electrical parking brake.
Pull switch m.
The electric parking brake is
applied when control indicator
m illuminates 3 85.
For maximum force, e.g.
parking with a trailer or on
inclines, pull switch m twice.
● Switch off the engine.
● If the vehicle is on a level surface or uphill slope, engage
first gear or move the selector
lever to P before removing the
ignition key. On an uphill slope, turn the front wheels away from
the kerb.
If the vehicle is on a downhill
slope, engage reverse gear or
move the selector lever to P
before removing the ignition
key. Turn the front wheels
towards the kerb.
● Close windows and sunroof.
● Turn the ignition key to position
LOCK , push key into ignition
switch and remove.
For vehicles with automatic
transmission, depress foot
brake and shift into P before
pushing key into ignition switch and removing.
Turn the steering wheel until
the steering wheel lock is felt to
engage.
