132Driving and operatingFuel selector
Pressing Y in the centre console
switches between petrol and natural
gas operation. The LED 1 status
shows the current operating mode.
1 off:natural gas
operation1 illuminates:petrol operation
As soon as the natural gas tanks are
empty, petrol operation is
automatically engaged. Control
indicator Y illuminates in the Driver
Information Centre 3 89 until the
ignition is switched off.
When switching automatically
between petrol or gas operation, a
brief delay of engine tractive power
may be noticeable.
Every six months run the petrol tank
down until control indicator §
illuminates and then refuel. This is
necessary to maintain fuel quality as
well as system function necessary for
petrol operation.
Fill the tank completely at regular
intervals to prevent corrosion in the
tank.
Refuelling
Fuel filler flap is located at left rear
side of vehicle.9 Danger
Before refuelling, switch off engine
and any external heaters with
combustion chambers. Switch off
any mobile phones.
Follow the operating and safety
instructions of the filling station
when refuelling.
9 Danger
Fuel is flammable and explosive.
No smoking. No naked flames or
sparks.
If you can smell fuel in your
vehicle, have the cause of this
remedied immediately by a
workshop.
Caution
In case of misfuelling, do not
switch on ignition.
Release the fuel filler flap by pulling
the flap by hand.
Insert ignition key into fuel filler cap
and turn anticlockwise to unlock.
To remove fuel filler cap, rotate
anticlockwise.
Caution
To avoid damage, do not attempt
to operate the sliding side door
when the fuel filler flap is open.
Driving and operating133Note
Depending on model, the sliding
side door may be fitted with a safety
system that prevents the door from
being opened fully when the fuel
filler flap is open.
Sliding side door 3 26.
The fuel filler cap can be retained in
the bracket on the fuel filler flap.
To refuel, 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.
To close, replace fuel filler cap and
turn clockwise.
Insert ignition key into fuel filler cap
and turn clockwise to lock, then
remove key.
Close the fuel filler flap.
Natural gas refuelling
Open the fuel filler flap.
9 Warning
Refuel only with a maximum
output pressure of 250 bar. Use
only temperature compensated
filling stations.
The refuelling procedure must be
completed, i.e. the filler neck must be vented.
The capacity of the natural gas tank
depends on outside temperature,
filling pressure and type of refuelling
system.
Close the fuel filler flap after
refuelling.

138Vehicle careCaution
When transporting the vehicle on
a train or on a recovery vehicle, the
mud flaps might be damaged.
Vehicle storage
Storage for a long period of time
If the vehicle is to be stored for several months:
● Wash and wax the vehicle.
● Have the wax in the engine compartment and underbody
checked.
● Clean and preserve the rubber seals.
● Fill up fuel tank completely.
● Change the engine oil.
● Drain the washer fluid reservoir.
● Check the coolant antifreeze and
corrosion protection.
● Adjust tyre pressure to the value specified for full load.
● Park the vehicle in a dry, wellventilated place. Engage first or
reverse gear to prevent the
vehicle from rolling.
● Do not apply the parking brake.
● Open the bonnet, close all doors and lock the vehicle.
● Disconnect the clamp from the negative terminal of the vehicle
battery. Beware that all systems
are not functional, e.g. anti-theft
locking system.
Putting back into operation
When the vehicle is to be put back into operation:
● Connect the clamp to the negative terminal of the vehicle
battery. Activate the electronics
of the power windows.
● Check tyre pressure.
● Fill up the washer fluid reservoir.
● Check the engine oil level.
● Check the coolant level.
● Fit the number plates if necessary.End-of-life vehicle recovery
Information on end-of-life vehicle
recovery centres and the recycling of
end-of-life vehicles is available on our website. Only entrust this work to an
authorised recycling centre.
Natural gas vehicles must be recycled by a service centre authorised for
natural gas vehicles.

Vehicle care169Appearance care
Exterior care LocksThe locks are lubricated at the factoryusing a high quality lock cylinder
grease. Use de-icing agent only when
absolutely necessary, as this has a
degreasing effect and impairs lock
function. After using a de-icing agent,
have the locks regreased by a
workshop.
WashingThe paintwork of your vehicle is
exposed to environmental influences.
Wash and wax your vehicle regularly.
When using automatic vehicle
washes, select a programme that
includes waxing.
Bird droppings, dead insects, resin,
pollen and the like should be cleaned
off immediately, as they contain
aggressive constituents which can
cause paint damage.If using a vehicle wash, comply with
the vehicle wash manufacturer's
instructions. The windscreen wiper and rear window wiper must be
switched off. Remove antenna and
external accessories such as roof
racks etc.
If you wash your vehicle by hand,
make sure that the insides of the
wheel housings are also thoroughly
rinsed out.
Clean edges and folds on opened
doors and the bonnet as well as the
areas they cover.Caution
Always use a cleaning agent with
a pH value of four to nine.
Do not use cleaning agents on hot surfaces.
Do not clean the engine compartmentwith a steam-jet or high-pressure jet
cleaner.
Thoroughly rinse and leather-off the vehicle. Rinse leather frequently. Use
separate leathers for painted and
glass surfaces: remnants of wax on
the windows will impair vision.
Have the door hinges of all doors
greased by a workshop.
Do not use hard objects to remove
spots of tar. Use tar removal spray on
painted surfaces.
Exterior lights
Headlight and other light covers are
made of plastic. Do not use any
abrasive or caustic agents, do not use an ice scraper, and do not clean them
dry.
Polishing and waxing
Wax the vehicle regularly (at the
latest when water no longer beads).
Otherwise, the paintwork will dry out.
Polishing is necessary only if the paint
has become dull or if solid deposits
have become attached to it.
Paintwork polish with silicone forms a
protective film, making waxing
unnecessary.
Customer information187● vehicle reactions in particulardriving situations (e.g. inflation ofan airbag, activation of the
stability regulation system)
● environmental conditions (e.g. temperature)
This data is exclusively technical and
helps identifying and correcting errors
as well as optimizing vehicle
functions.
Motion profiles indicating travelled
routes cannot be created with this
data.
If services are used (e.g. repair
works, service processes, warranty cases, quality assurance),
employees of the service network
(manufacturer included) are able to
read out this technical information
from the event and error data storage
modules applying special diagnostic
devices. If required, you will receive
further information at these
workshops. After an error has been
corrected, the data is deleted from the error storage module or it is
constantly overwritten.When using the vehicle, situations
may occur in which technical data
related to other information (accident
report, damages on the vehicle,
witness statements etc.) may be
associated with a specific person -
possibly, with the assistance of an
expert.
Additional functions contractually
agreed upon with the client (e.g.
vehicle location in emergency cases)
allow the transmission of particular vehicle data from the vehicle.
Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID)
RFID technology is used in some
vehicles for functions such as tyre
pressure monitoring and ignition
system security. It is also used in
connection with conveniences such
as radio remote controls for door
locking/unlocking and starting, and in-
vehicle transmitters for garage door
openers. RFID technology in Opel
vehicles does not use or record
personal information or link with any
other Opel system containing
personal information.
