2017 OPEL COMBO lock

Driving and operating117● 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.
Note
In the event of an accident with
airbag deployment, the engine is
turned off automatically if the vehicle comes to a standstill within a certain
time.
Engine exhaust9 Danger
Engine exhaust gases contain
poisonous carbon monoxide,
which is colourless and odourless and could be fatal if inhaled.
If exhaust gases enter the interior
of the vehicle, open the windows.
Have the cause of the fault
rectified by a workshop.
Avoid driving with an open load
compartment, otherwise exhaust
gases could enter the vehicle.
Diesel particle filter
The diesel particle filter system filters
harmful soot particles out of the
exhaust gases. The system includes
a self-cleaning function that runs
automatically during driving without
any notification. The filter is cleaned
by periodically burning off the soot
particles at high temperature. This
process takes place automatically
under set driving conditions and may
take up to 25 minutes. Typically it
needs 15 minutes. Autostop is not
available and fuel consumption may
be higher during this period. The
emission of smells and smoke during
this process is normal.
Under certain driving conditions, e.g.
short distances, the system cannot
clean itself automatically.
If the cleaning of the filter is required
and if previous driving conditions did
not enable automatic cleaning, it will
be indicated by control indicator %.
Depending on version, a warning
message may also appear in the
Driver Information Centre 3 89.

Driving and operating123message may appear in the Driver
Information Centre in conjunction with
a warning chime 3 94.
Note
The volume of the warning chime
can also be adjusted via the Driver
Information Centre 3 89.
Have the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop.Brakes
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 83.
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 89.

124Driving and operating9Warning
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.
Control indicator u 3 83.
Parking brake
Manual parking brake9 Warning
Always apply parking brake firmly
without operating the release
button, and apply as firmly as
possible on a downhill or uphill
slope.
To release the parking brake, pull
the lever up slightly, press the
release button and fully lower the
lever.
To reduce the operating forces of
the parking brake, depress the
brake pedal at the same time.
A warning chime will sound if a certain
speed is exceeded with the parking
brake applied.
Note
The volume of the warning chime
can also be adjusted via the Driver
Information Centre 3 89.
Control indicator R 3 83.
Brake assist If the brake pedal is depressed
quickly and forcefully, maximum
brake force is automatically applied
(full braking).
Maintain steady pressure on the brake pedal for as long as full braking
is required. Maximum brake force is
automatically reduced when the
brake pedal is released.

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.
