vehicles with automatic transmission
the selector lever must be in P.

Tyre pressure sensor matching process
Each tyre pressure sensor has a
unique identification code. The
identification code must be matched
to a new wheel position after rotating
the wheels or exchanging the
complete wheel set and if one or more tyre pressure sensors were replaced.
The tyre pressure sensor matching
process should also be performed
after replacing a spare wheel with a
road wheel containing a tyre pressure sensor.
The malfunction light w and the
warning message should extinguish
at the next ignition cycle. The sensors
are matched to the wheel positions,
using a relearn tool, in the following
order: left side front wheel, right side
front wheel, right side rear wheel and
204Vehicle careidentification code has been
matched to the left side rear
wheel, and the tyre pressure
sensor matching process is no
longer active.
13. Turn off the ignition.
14. Set all four tyres to the recommended air pressure level
as indicated on the tyre pressure
information label.
15. Ensure the tyre loading status is set according to the selected tyre
pressure 3 95.
Tread depth Check tread depth at regular
intervals.
Tyres should be replaced for safety
reasons at a tread depth of 2-3 mm
(4 mm for winter tyres).
For safety reasons it is recommended
that the tread depth of the tyres on
one axle should not vary by more than 2 mm.
The legally permissible minimum
tread depth (1.6 mm) has been
reached when the tread has worn
down as far as one of the tread wear
indicators (TWI). Their position is
indicated by markings on the
sidewall.
If there is more wear at the front than
the rear, swap round front wheels and rear wheels. Ensure that the direction
of rotation of the wheels is the same
as before.
Tyres age, even if they are not used.
We recommend tyre replacement
every six years.
Changing tyre and wheel
size
If tyres of a different size than those
fitted at the factory are used, it may be necessary to reprogramme the
speedometer as well as the nominal
tyre pressure and make other vehicle modifications.
After converting to a different tyre
size, have the label with tyre
pressures replaced and the tyre
pressure monitoring system
reinitialised. 3 2009 Warning
The use of unsuitable tyres or
wheels may lead to accidents and will invalidate the vehicle
operating permit.
Wheel covers
Wheel covers and tyres that are
factory-approved for the respective
vehicle and comply with all of the
relevant wheel and tyre combination requirements must be used.
Vehicle care205If the wheel covers and tyres used are
not factory-approved, the tyres must
not have a rim protection ridge.
Wheel covers must not impair brake
cooling.9 Warning
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel
covers could lead to sudden
pressure loss and thereby
accidents.
Vehicles with alloy wheels: When
mounting steel wheels with alloy
wheel nuts, e.g. when changing to
winter tyres, the wheel covers cannot
be attached to the steel wheels.
Tyre chains
Use tyre chains only on front wheels.
9 Warning
Damage may lead to tyre blowout.
Tyre chains are permitted on tyres of
size 215/65 R16, 215/60 R17 and
215/55 R18.
On tyres of size 215/65 R16 and
215/60 R17 always use fine mesh
chains suitable for sport utility
vehicles that add no more than
9 mm to the tyre tread and the inboard sides (including chain lock).
On tyres of size 215/55 R18 only usespecial snow chains which are
permitted for Vauxhall Mokka and
tyres of these sizes. For further
information contact a workshop.
The use of tyre chains is not permitted on the temporary spare wheel.
Tyre repair kit Minor damage to the tyre tread can be
repaired with the tyre repair kit.
Do not remove foreign bodies from
the tyres.
Tyre damage exceeding 4 mm or that is at tyre's sidewall cannot be repairedwith the tyre repair kit.9 Warning
Do not drive faster than 50 mph.
Do not use for a lengthy period.
Steering and handling may be
affected.
If you have a flat tyre:
Apply the parking brake and engage
first gear, reverse gear or P.
Vehicle care209●Do not start the vehicle when it is
raised on the jack.
● Clean wheel nuts and thread with
a clean cloth before mounting the
wheel.9 Warning
Do not grease wheel bolt, wheel
nut and wheel nut cone.
1. Disengage wheel nut caps with a
screwdriver and remove. Pull off
the wheel cover.
Alloy wheels: Disengage wheel
nut caps with a screwdriver and
remove. To protect the wheel,
place a soft cloth between the
screwdriver and the alloy wheel.
Vehicle tools 3 197.
2. Fold out the wheel wrench and
install ensuring that it is located
securely and loosen each wheel nut by half a turn.
3. Ensure the jack is correctly positioned under the relevant
vehicle jacking point.
Depending on the equipment, first
remove the covers from the
jacking points.
4. Set the jack to the necessary height. Position it directly below
the jacking point in a manner that prevents it from slipping.
Attach wheel wrench and with the
jack correctly aligned rotate wheel wrench until wheel is clear of the
ground.
5. Unscrew the wheel nuts.
212Vehicle careTemporary spare wheelCaution
The use of the temporary spare
wheel could affect driveability.
Have the defective tyre renewed
or repaired as soon as possible.
Only mount one temporary spare
wheel. Do not drive faster than
50 mph. Take curves slowly. Do not
use for a long period of time.
If your vehicle gets a flat tyre on the
rear while towing another vehicle,
mount the temporary spare wheel at
the front and the full size tyre at the
rear.
Tyre chains 3 205.
Spare wheel with directional tyre If possible, fit directional tyres such
that they roll in the direction of travel.
The rolling direction is indicated by a
symbol (e.g. an arrow) on the
sidewall.
The following applies to tyres fitted
opposing the rolling direction:
● Driveability may be affected. Have the defective tyre renewed
or repaired as soon as possible
and fit it instead of the spare
wheel.
● Drive particularly carefully on wet
and snow-covered road
surfaces.Jump starting
Do not start with a quick charger.
A vehicle with a discharged battery
can be started using jump leads and
the battery of another vehicle.9 Warning
Be extremely careful when starting
with jump leads. Any deviation
from the following instructions can
lead to injuries or damage caused
by battery explosion or damage to the electrical systems of both
vehicles.
9 Warning
Avoid contact of the battery with
eyes, skin, fabrics and painted
surfaces. The fluid contains
sulphuric acid which can cause
injuries and damage in the event
of direct contact.
● Never expose the battery to naked flames or sparks.
Service and maintenance221driving at high altitude and large
variations of temperature. Under
these severe operating conditions, certain service work may be required
more frequently than the regular service interval.
The international service intervals are
valid for the countries which are not
listed in the European service
intervals.
Service display 3 85.
Confirmations
Confirmation of service is recorded in the Service and warranty booklet.
The date and mileage is completed
with the stamp and signature of the
servicing workshop.
Make sure that the Service and
warranty booklet is completed
correctly as continuous proof of
service is essential if any warranty or
goodwill claims are to be met, and is
also a benefit when selling the
vehicle.Service interval with remaining
engine oil life duration
The service interval is based on
several parameters depending on
usage.
The service display lets you know when to change the engine oil.
Service display 3 85.Recommended fluids,
lubricants and parts
Recommended fluids andlubricants
Only use products that meet the
recommended specifications.9 Warning
Operating materials are
hazardous and could be
poisonous. Handle with care. Pay
attention to information given on
the containers.
Engine oil
Engine oil is identified by its quality
and its viscosity. Quality is more
important than viscosity when
selecting which engine oil to use. The oil quality ensures e.g. engine
cleanliness, wear protection and oil
aging control, whereas viscosity
grade gives information on the oil's
thickness over a temperature range.
