Power tailgate
9 Warning
Take care when operating the
power tailgate. Risk of injury,
particularly to children.
Keep a close watch on the
movable tailgate when operating.
Ensure that nothing becomes
trapped during operating and no
one is standing within the moving
area.
The power tailgate can be operated
by:
● Pressing X twice on the
electronic key. To prevent
unintended opening of the
tailgate, X must be pressed
longer than during locking or unlocking.
● Handsfree operation with motion sensor below the rear bumper.
● The touchpad switch under the exterior tailgate moulding and
C in the open tailgate.
● The switch C on the inside of
the driver's door.
On vehicles with automatic
transmission, the tailgate can only be operated when the vehicle is
stationary and with selector lever in P.
The turn signal lights flash and a
chime sounds when the power
tailgate is operating.

Keys, doors and windows29Note
Operating the power tailgate does
not operate the central locking
system. To open the tailgate with the
button on the electronic key, or with
the touchpad switch under the
tailgate moulding or via handsfree operation, it is not necessary to
unlock the vehicle. A precondition is
that the electronic key is outside the
vehicle, within a range of approx.
one metre of the tailgate.
Do not leave the electronic key in the load compartment.
Lock the vehicle after closing if it was
unlocked previously.
Central locking system 3 22.Operation with the electronic key
Press X twice to open or close the
tailgate. To prevent unintended
opening of the tailgate, X must be
pressed longer than during locking or unlocking.
Handsfree operation with motion
sensor below the rear bumper
To open or close the tailgate, move
the foot below the rear bumper back
and forth in the area where the
hologram is projected on the ground. Do not hold the foot longer or move
too slow below the bumper. The
electronic key must be outside the
vehicle, within a range of approx.
one metre of the tailgate. When foot
motion is being detected by the
sensor, the system actuates the
tailgate after a short delay.

32Keys, doors and windowsThe tailgate can only be held open if
a minimum height is exceeded
(minimum opening angle from 30°).
The opening height cannot be
programmed below that height.
Safety function
If the power tailgate encounters an
obstacle during opening or closing,
the direction of movement will
automatically be reversed slightly.
Multiple obstacles in one power cycle will deactivate the function. In this
case, close or open the tailgate
manually.
The power tailgate has pinch sensors
on the side edges. If the sensors
detect obstacles between tailgate and chassis, the tailgate will open, until it
is activated again or closed manually.
The safety function is indicated by a
warning chime.
Remove all obstacles before
resuming normal power operation.
If the vehicle is equipped with factory-
fitted towing equipment and a trailer
is electrically connected, the power
tailgate can only be opened with thetouchpad switch or closed with G in
the open tailgate. Ensure that there
are no obstacles in the moving area.
Overload
If the power tailgate is repeatedly
operated at short intervals, the
function is disabled for some time.
Move tailgate manually into end
position to reset the system.
General hints for operating
tailgate9 Danger
Do not drive with the tailgate open
or ajar, e.g. when transporting
bulky objects, since toxic exhaust
gases, which cannot be seen or
smelled, could enter the vehicle.
This can cause unconsciousness
and even death.
Caution
Before opening the tailgate, check overhead obstructions, e.g. a
garage door, to avoid damage to
the tailgate. Always check the
moving area above and behind the
tailgate.
Note
The installation of certain heavy
accessories onto the tailgate may
affect its ability to remain open.
Note
The operation of the power tailgate
is disabled under low vehicle battery
conditions. In this case, the tailgate
may not even be manually operable.
Note
With the power tailgate disabled and
all doors unlocked, the tailgate can
only be operated manually. In this
event, manually closing the tailgate
requires significantly greater force.
Note
At low outside temperatures the
tailgate may not open fully by itself.
In this event, lift the tailgate manually
to its normal end position.

locking occurs.
Note
Changes to the vehicle interior such
as the use of seat covers, and open
windows or sunroof, could impair the
function of passenger compartment
monitoring.
Activation without monitoring of
passenger compartment and
vehicle inclinationSwitch off the monitoring of
passenger compartment and vehicle
inclination when animals are being
left in the vehicle, because of high
volume ultrasonic signals or
movements triggering the alarm. Also switch off when the vehicle is on a
ferry or train.

Windscreen Windscreen stickers
Do not attach stickers such as toll
road stickers or similar on the
windscreen in the area of the interior
mirror. Otherwise the detection zone
of the sensor and the view area of the camera in the mirror housing could be
restricted.
Windscreen replacementCaution
If the vehicle has a front-looking
camera sensor for the driver
assistance systems, it is very
important that any windscreen
replacement is performed
accurately according to Opel
specifications. Otherwise, these
systems may not work properly
and there is a risk of unexpected
behaviour and/or messages from
these systems.

70Seats, restraintsPedestrian protection
system
Active bonnet Pedestrian protection system can
help to reduce the injury of
pedestrians in case of a front
collision.
When the sensors in the front bumper
detect a certain impact within the
speed range of 25 km/h to 50 km/h, the rear part of the bonnet will be lifted
to reduce pedestrians head injuries.
In addition the front bumper is
designed to reduce leg injuries of
pedestrians.
The active bonnet can be triggered
only once and remains in the raised
position. A message is displayed in
the Driver Information Centre.
Seek the assistance of a workshop as
soon as possible, thereby adapting
the driving style, to have the
actuators, hinges and bonnet
replaced.9 Warning
Do not drive with the bonnet
raised.
9 Warning
After any frontal accident the front
bumper may appear to be intact,
however, the sensors may be
damaged. Consult a workshop to
verify proper functionality of the
sensors.
The system may not trigger under the following conditions:
● The impact is out of sensor range.
● The sensors are damaged or blocked by accessory parts.
● The bonnet is blocked by snow or
ice.
● The vehicle speed is not within the range.
● The object is too small.
Manually bonnet lowering9 Warning
After the system has triggered, the
hinges of the bonnet are hot. Do
not touch.
To manually lower the triggered
bonnet for driving to the next
workshop:
1. Pull the bonnet release lever.
2. Push the safety catch to left vehicle side.
3. Open the bonnet approx. 20 cm and lower it slowly without
engaging.
4. Push down bonnet with both hands at rear corners in small
steps alternating between right
and left side.
9 Warning
Be sure to keep away from the
edge of the bonnet to prevent
injuries.

Storage85Loading information
● Heavy objects in the loadcompartment should be placed
against the seat backrests. Make
sure that the backrests are
securely engaged, i.e. no longer
showing the red markings on the side near the release lever. If
objects can be stacked, heavier
objects should be placed at the
bottom.
● Secure objects with lashing straps attached to lashing eyes
3 80.
● Secure loose objects in the load
compartment to prevent from
sliding.
● When transporting objects in the load compartment, the backrestsof 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 theinstrument panel, and do not
cover the sensor on top of the instrument panel.
● The load must not obstruct the operation of the pedals, parking
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 ensure 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 grossvehicle weight (see identification
plate 3 288) and the EC kerb
weight.
To calculate the payload, 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
