70StorageLoading information● Heavy objects in the load compartment should be evenlydistributed and placed as far
forward as possible. Ensure the
backrests are securely engaged.
If objects can be stacked, the
heavier objects should be placed
at the bottom.
With rear seats in the folded position, objects must not be stacked higher than the seat
backrests.
● Secure objects with lashing straps attached to lashing eyes
3 69.
● Secure loose objects in the load compartment, e.g. with a luggagefloor net, to prevent sliding.
● When transporting objects in the load compartment, the backrests
of the rear seats must not be
angled forward.
● Do not allow the load to protrude above the upper edge of the
backrests.● Do not place any objects on the load compartment cover or the
instrument panel, and do not cover the sensor on top of the
instrument panel.
● The load must not obstruct the operation of the pedals, electricalparking brake and gear selector,
or hinder the freedom of
movement of the driver. Do not
place any unsecured objects in
the interior.
● Do not drive with an open load compartment.9Warning
Always make sure that the load in
the vehicle is securely stowed.
Otherwise objects can be thrown
around inside the vehicle and
cause personal injury or damage
to the load or vehicle.
● The payload is the difference
between the permitted gross
vehicle weight (see identification
plate 3 205) and the EC kerb
weight.
To calculate the EC kerb weight,
enter the data for your vehicle in
the weights table at the front of
this manual.
The EC kerb weight includes
weights for the driver (68 kg),
luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (fuel
tank 90% full).
Optional equipment and
accessories increase the kerb
weight.
● Driving with a roof load increases
the sensitivity of the vehicle to
cross-winds and has a
detrimental effect on vehicle
handling due to the vehicle's
higher centre of gravity.
Distribute the load evenly and
secure it properly with retaining
straps. Adjust the tyre pressure
and vehicle speed according to
the load conditions. Check and
retighten the straps frequently.
Do not drive faster than
120 km/h.
The permissible roof load is
100 kg. The roof load is the
combined weight of the roof rack and the load.
Driving and operating151Fuel filler flap is located at left rear
side of vehicle.
The fuel filler flap can only be opened
if the vehicle is unlocked 3 22.
Release the fuel filler flap by pushing
the flap.
To unlock fuel filler cap: turn it
anticlockwise. If hissing occurs, wait
until it stops before completely
unscrewing the cap.
The fuel filler cap can be retained in
the holder on the inside of the fuel
filler flap.
When refuelling, fully insert the pump nozzle and switch it on.
After automatic cut-off, the tank can
be topped up by operating the pump
nozzle a maximum of two more times.Caution
Wipe off any overflowing fuel
immediately.
After refuelling, replace the fuel filler
cap and turn it clockwise until you
hear several clicks. Ensure the cap is
screwed in completely, otherwise
control indicator Z may illuminate in
the instrument cluster 3 84.
Close fuel filler flap.
Fuel filler cap
Only a genuine fuel filler cap provides full functionality. Diesel-engined
vehicles have special fuel filler caps.
Fuel consumption - CO 2-
Emissions
The fuel consumption (combined) of
the model Opel Antara is within a range of 10.9 to 6.3 l/100 km.
The CO 2 emission (combined) is
within a range of 255 to 167 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 CO 2 emission 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 latest applicable
version), 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
Driving and operating153Adjust tyre pressure to the value
specified for full load 3 212.
Trailer towing Trailer loadsThe permissible trailer loads are
vehicle-dependent and engine-
dependent maximum values which
must not be exceeded. The actual
trailer load is the difference between
the actual gross weight of the trailer
and the actual coupling socket load
with the trailer coupled.
When the trailer load is being
checked, therefore, only the trailer
wheels - and not the jockey wheel -
must be standing on the weighing
apparatus.
The permissible trailer loads are
specified in the vehicle documents. In general, they are valid for gradients
up to max. 12%.
The permitted trailer load applies up
to the specified incline and up to an
altitude of 1000 metres above sea
level. Since engine power decreases
as altitude increases due to the airbecoming thinner, therefore reducing
climbing ability, the permissible gross
train weight also decreases by 10%
for every 1000 metres of additional
altitude. The gross train weight does
not have to be reduced when driving
on roads with slight inclines (less than
8%, e.g. motorways).
The permissible gross train weight
must not be exceeded. This weight is specified on the identification plate3 205.
Vertical coupling load
The vertical coupling load is the load
exerted by the trailer on the coupling
ball. It can be varied by changing the
weight distribution when loading the
trailer.
The maximum permissible vertical
coupling load (80 kg) is specified on
the towing equipment identification
plate and in the vehicle documents.
Always aim for the maximum load,
especially in the case of heavy
trailers. The vertical coupling load
should never fall below 25 kg.When measuring the vertical coupling
load, ensure the drawbar of the
loaded trailer is at the same height as it will be when the trailer is coupled
with the towing vehicle loaded. This is
particularly important for trailers with
tandem axle.
Rear axle load
When the trailer is coupled and the
towing vehicle is fully loaded
(including all occupants), the
permissible rear axle load (see
identification plate or vehicle
documents) must not be exceeded.
National regulations regarding
maximum speeds for vehicles towing a trailer must be observed.
Towing equipmentCaution
When operating without a trailer,
remove the coupling ball bar.
182Vehicle careThe maximum speed is achievable atkerb weight with driver (75 kg) plus
125 kg payload. Optional equipment
could reduce the maximum speed of
the vehicle.
Performance 3 208.
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.
Use the valve cap key to make
unscrewing the valve caps easier.
The valve cap key is located on the
inside of the tank flap.
Tyre pressure 3 212.
The tyre pressure data refers to cold
tyres. It applies to summer and winter tyres.
Always inflate the spare tyre to the
pressure specified for full load.
The ECO tyre pressure serves to
achieve the smallest amount of 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.
Engine data 3 207.
2. Identify the respective tyre.
The tyre pressure tables show all
possible tyre combinations 3 212.
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.9 Warning
If the pressure is too low, this can
result in considerable tyre warm-
up and internal damage, leading to tread separation and even to tyre
blow-out at high speeds.
9 Warning
For specific tyres the
recommended tyre pressure as
shown in the tyre pressure table may exceed the maximum tyre
pressure as indicated on the tyre.
Never exceed the maximum tyre
pressure as indicated on the tyre.
If the tyre pressure must be reduced
or increased on a vehicle with tyre
pressure monitoring system, switch
off ignition.
Temperature dependency
The tyre pressure depends on the
temperature of the tyre. During
driving, tyre temperature and
pressure increase. Tyre pressure
values provided on the tyre
information label and tyre pressure
chart are valid for cold tyres, which means at 20 °C.
The pressure increases by nearly
10 kPa for a 10 °C temperature
increase. This must be considered
when warm tyres are checked.
