2017.5 OPEL COMBO D wheel

88Instruments and controls9Warning
When the engine is off,
considerably more force is needed
to brake and steer. During an
Autostop the brake servo unit will still be operational.
Do not remove ignition key until
vehicle is stationary, otherwise the steering wheel lock could engage
unexpectedly.
Check oil level before seeking the
assistance of a workshop 3 143.
Change engine oil Diesel engines with diesel particle
filter
I flashes red.
Illuminates when the ignition is
switched on and extinguishes shortly
after the engine starts.
The engine oil life monitor lets you know when to change the oil. Control
indicator I will flash to indicate that
engine oil life has been diminished
and the oil needs changing.
Depending on version, a
corresponding warning message,
e.g. Change engine oil , may also be
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre 3 90.
Based on driving conditions, the
interval at which an oil change will be
indicated can vary considerably.
Depending on model variant, I may
flash in the following ways:
● for one minute every two hours, or
● for three minute cycles with I off
for intervals of five seconds
The warning will be repeated every
time the engine is started, until the
engine oil is changed and the service display is reset. Seek the assistance
of a workshop.
Service display 3 78.
Low engine oil level
S illuminates red.
Illuminates for a few seconds after the ignition is switched on.If the control indicator does not
extinguish after a few seconds, or if it illuminates while driving, the engine
oil level is insufficient.
Depending on version, a
corresponding warning message,
e.g. Check engine oil level , may also
be displayed in the Driver Information
Centre 3 90.
Check oil level before seeking the assistance of a workshop 3 143.
Low fuel $ illuminates or flashes yellow.
Illuminates for a few seconds after the ignition is switched on.
Illuminates
Level in fuel tank is too low. Refuel
immediately 3 135.
Never run the tank dry.
Depending on version, a
corresponding warning message,
e.g. Warning low fuel , may also be
displayed in the Driver Information Centre 3 90.

If equipped, headlights come on for
approx. 30 seconds after the vehicle
is parked and the system is activated.
Activation 1. Switch off ignition.
2. Remove ignition key.
3. Pull turn signal lever towards steering wheel.
4. Operate turn signal lever again within two minutes.
This action can be repeated up to
seven times to a maximum period of
210 seconds.

Depending on version, a warning
message may also be displayed in
the Driver Information Centre 3 90.
Deactivation Pull turn signal lever for more thantwo seconds to deactivate.
Battery discharge protection
To ensure reliable engine restarts,
several vehicle battery discharge
protection features are implemented
as part of the stop-start system, e.g.
some lights may be switched off
automatically after some time.
Stop-start system 3 116.

114Driving and operatingSteeringIf power steering assist is lost
because the engine stops or due to a
system malfunction, the vehicle can
be steered but may require increased
effort.Caution
Never leave the steering wheel on
full lock when the vehicle is
stationary, as this may damage
the power steering pump.
Starting and operating
New vehicle running-in Do not brake unnecessarily hard for
the first few journeys.
During the first drive, smoke may
occur because of wax and oil
evaporating off the exhaust system.
Park the vehicle in the open for a
while after the first drive and avoid
inhaling the fumes.
During the running-in period, fuel and engine oil consumption may be
higher.
Additionally, the cleaning process of
the diesel particle filter may take
place more often. Diesel particle filter
3 120.
Autostop may be inhibited to allow for charging of the vehicle battery. Stop-start system 3 116.

Driving and operating115Steering wheel lockRemove key from ignition switch and
turn steering wheel until it engages.
Starting the engine
Turn key to position 1 and move the
steering wheel slightly to release the
steering wheel lock.
Manual transmission: operate clutch
and brake pedal.
Manual transmission automated:
operate brake pedal, the transmission
automatically shifts to N (neutral)
Do not operate the accelerator pedal.
Diesel engine: turn key to position 1
for preheating until control
indicator ! extinguishes.
Turn key briefly to position 2 and
release.
Before restarting or to switch off the
engine, turn key back to position 0.
Autostop During an Autostop, the engine is
restarted automatically by depressing
the clutch pedal.
Vehicles with manual transmission
automated (MTA): Shift to a forward
gear, release brake pedal or move
lever to +, – or R to enable an
automatic restart.
Stop-start system 3 116.Starting the vehicle at low
temperatures
The start of the engine without
additional heaters is possible down to -25 °С for diesel engines and -30 °C
for petrol engines. Required is an engine oil with the correct viscosity,
the correct fuel, performed services
and a sufficiently charged vehicle
battery.
Turbo engine warm-up Upon start-up, engine available
torque may be limited for a short time, especially when the engine
temperature is cold. The limitation is
to allow the lubrication system to fully
protect the engine.
Vehicle shutdown
Fuel cut-off system In the event of a collision of a certain
severity, the fuel system is cut-off and
the engine is switched off
automatically, for safety reasons.

Driving and operating119Parking9Warning
● Do not park the vehicle on an
easily ignitable surface. The
high temperature of the
exhaust system could ignite the
surface.
● Always apply parking brake without pressing release
button. Apply as firmly as
possible on a downhill slope or
uphill slope. Depress brake
pedal at the same time to
reduce operating force.
● Switch off the engine.
● If the vehicle is on a level surface or uphill slope, engage
first gear before switching off
the ignition. On an uphill slope,
turn the front wheels away from
the kerb.
If the vehicle is on a downhill
slope, engage reverse gear
before switching off the ignition. Turn the front wheels towardsthe kerb.
● Close the windows.
● Turn the ignition key to position
0 and remove it from the
ignition switch. Turn the
steering wheel until the
steering wheel lock is felt to
engage.
● Lock the vehicle 3 24.
● Activate the anti-theft locking system 3 29.
● The engine cooling fans may run
after the engine has been
switched off 3 142.
Caution
After running at high engine
speeds or with high engine loads,
operate the engine briefly at a low load or run in neutral for
approx. 30 seconds before
switching off, in order to protect
the turbocharger.
Note
In the event of an accident with
airbag deployment, the engine is
switched off automatically if the
vehicle comes to a standstill within a
certain time.

126Driving and operatingBrakes
The brake system comprises two
independent brake circuits.
If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can
still be braked using the other brake
circuit. However, braking effect is
achieved only when the brake pedal
is depressed firmly. Considerably
more force is needed for this. The
braking distance is extended. Seek the assistance of a workshop before
continuing your journey.
When the engine is not running, the
support of the brake servo unit
disappears once the brake pedal has been depressed once or twice.
Braking effect is not reduced, but
braking requires significantly greater
force. It is especially important to bear this in mind when being towed.
Control indicator R 3 84.
Antilock brake system
Antilock brake system (ABS)
prevents the wheels from locking.ABS starts to regulate brake pressure as soon as a wheel shows a tendency to lock. The vehicle remains
steerable, even during hard braking.
ABS control is made apparent
through a pulse in the brake pedal
and the noise of the regulation
process.
For optimum braking, keep the brake
pedal fully depressed throughout the
braking process, despite the fact that the pedal is pulsating. Do not reduce
the pressure on the pedal.
After starting off the system performs
a self-test which may be audible.
Fault
In the event of a fault, control indicator
u illuminates in the instrument
cluster. Depending on version, a
corresponding warning message,
e.g. ABS unavailable , may also be
displayed in the Driver Information Centre 3 90.9 Warning
If there is a fault in the ABS, the
wheels may be liable to lock due
to braking that is heavier than
normal. The advantages of ABS are no longer available. During
hard braking, the vehicle can no longer be steered and may
swerve.
Have the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop.
