2017.5 OPEL ANTARA check oil

160Vehicle careWe recommend the use of the same
grade of engine oil that was used at
the last oil change.
The engine oil level must not exceed the MAX mark on the dipstick.Caution
Overfilled engine oil must be
drained or suctioned out.
Capacities 3 211, Engine oil quality/
viscosity 3 202.
Fit the cap on straight and tighten it.
Control indicators for engine oil
pressure I 3 88, engine oil life ¢
3 89, and low engine oil S 3 89.
Once the engine oil has been
changed, the engine oil life monitor needs to be reset. Seek the
assistance of a workshop.
Engine coolant
The coolant provides freeze
protection down to approx. -28 °C. In
northern countries with very low
temperatures the factory filled coolant provides frost protection down to
approx. -37 °C.Caution
Only use approved antifreeze.
Coolant level
Caution
Too low a coolant level can cause engine damage.
If the cooling system is cold, the
coolant level should be between the
MIN and MAX marks. Top up if the
level is low.9 Warning
Allow the engine to cool before
opening the cap. Carefully open
the cap, relieving the pressure
slowly.
To top up use a 1:1 mixture of
released coolant concentrate mixed
with clean tap water. If no coolant
concentrate is available, use clean
tap water. Install the cap tightly. Have the coolant concentration checked
and have the cause of the coolant
loss remedied by a workshop.
Engine coolant temperature control
indicator W 3 87.

192Vehicle careIf this is not the case, carefully
lower the vehicle immediately and
reposition the jack. Raise the
vehicle until the wheel is just clear of the ground.
6. Unscrew wheel nuts completely and wipe clean with a cloth.
Do not grease the threads. Put
wheel nuts somewhere where the threads will not be soiled.
7. Change the wheel. Notes on spare wheel 3 193.
8. Screw on the wheel nuts and tighten slightly by hand by turningclockwise until wheel is held
against the hub.
9. Rotate wrench anticlockwise and lower vehicle to the ground.
10. Install the wheel wrench ensuring that it locates securely and tighten
each wheel nut in a crosswise
sequence. Tightening torque is
140 Nm.
11. Stow the replaced wheel 3 193
and the vehicle tools 3 179.
12. Check the tyre pressure of the installed tyre as soon as possible.
Have the defective tyre renewed and
replace temporary spare wheel with a full specification wheel without delay.
Jacking position for lifting platform
Rear arm position of the lifting
platform centrically under the recess
of the sill.

Vehicle care197Turn key to ignition switch position
ACC and release the electrical
parking brake before towing the
vehicle.Caution
Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.
Excessive tractive force can
damage the vehicle.
When the engine is not running,
considerably more force is needed to
brake and steer.
Keep tow rope clear of front bumper, and ensure it is securely fixed to the
towing eye at both ends. Pull on the tow rope to check.
To prevent the entry of exhaust gases from the towing vehicle, switch on the
air recirculation system 3 115 and
close the windows.
Vehicles with manual transmission:
The vehicle must be towed facing
forwards. The maximum speed is
88 km/h . In all other cases, and when
the transmission is defective, the front axle must be raised off the ground.
Vehicles with automatic transmission:
Do not tow the vehicle using the
towing eye. Towing with a tow rope
could cause severe damage to the
transmission. When towing a vehicle with automatic transmission, use flat
bed or wheel lift equipment.
Seek the assistance of a workshop.
After towing, unscrew the towing eye
and replace the spoiler lip. Store
towing eye in the storage
compartment below the floor cover in the load compartment.
Vehicle tools 3 179.
Towing another vehicleRemove the cover located on the rear bumper by pressing the lower part of
the cover.
The rear towing eye attachment is
stored below the floor cover in the
load compartment.
Screw the rear towing eye attachment
anticlockwise using a suitable
screwdriver, until it is firmly in place
and stops in a horizontal position.
Attach a tow rope – or better still a tow
rod – to the rear towing eye.
The towing eye must only be used for
towing and not for recovering a
vehicle.Caution
Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.
Excessive tractive force can
damage the vehicle.
To prevent damage, do not take up slack in the tow rope too quickly.
After towing, unscrew the rear towing
eye attachment clockwise to remove,
and reinstall the cover.
