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 the tyre
pressure sensor.
The malfunction light w and the
warning message or code 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 left side rear
wheel. The turn signal light at the
current active position is illuminated
until the sensor is matched.
Consult a workshop for service. There
are two minutes to match the first
wheel position, and five minutes
overall to match all four wheel
positions. If it takes longer, the
matching process stops and must be
restarted.
The tyre pressure sensor matching
process is:
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition on.3. On vehicles with automatic transmission: set the selector
lever to P.
On vehicles with manual
transmission: select neutral.
4. Use MENU on the turn signal
lever to select the Vehicle
Information Menu in the Driver
Information Centre.
5. Turn the adjuster wheel to scroll to
the tyre pressure menu.
6. Press SET/CLR to begin the
sensor matching process. A
message requesting acceptance
of the process should be
displayed.
Press SET/CLR again to confirm
the selection. The horn sounds
twice to indicate the receiver is in
relearn mode.
7. Start with the left side front wheel.
8. Place the relearn tool against the tyre sidewall, near the valve stem.Then press the button to activate
the tyre pressure sensor. A horn
chirp confirms that the sensor
identification code has been
matched to this wheel position.

234Vehicle care9. Proceed to the right side frontwheel, and repeat the procedure
in Step 8.
10. Proceed to the right side rear wheel, and repeat the procedure
in Step 8.
11. Proceed to the left side rear wheel, and repeat the procedure
in Step 8. The horn sounds twice
to indicate the sensor
identification code has been
matched to the left side rear tyre,
and the tyre pressure sensor
matching process is no longer
active.
12. Turn off the ignition.
13. Set all four tyres to the recommended air pressure level
as indicated on the tyre pressure
label.
14. Ensure the tyre loading status is set according to the selected
pressure 3 93.
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 periodically. 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 6 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. 3 2319 Warning
The use of unsuitable tyres or
wheels may lead to accidents and will invalidate the vehicle
operating permit.

248Vehicle care
Screw in the towing eye as far as it will
go until it stops in a horizontal
position.
Attach a tow rope – or better still a tow
rod – to the towing eye.
The towing eye must only be used for towing and not for recovering the
vehicle.
Switch on ignition to release steering
wheel lock and to permit operation of
brake lights, horn and windscreen
wiper.
Switch the selector lever to neutral.
Release the parking brake.
Caution
Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.
Excessive tractive force can
damage the vehicle.
When the engine is not running,
considerably more force is needed to
brake and steer.
To prevent the entry of exhaust gases from the towing vehicle, switch on the
air recirculation and close the
windows.
Vehicles with automatic transmission: The vehicle must be towed facing
forwards, not faster than 80 km/h nor further than 100 km. In all other cases
and when the transmission is
defective, the front axle must be
raised off the ground.
Seek the assistance of a workshop.
After towing, unscrew the towing eye.
Insert cap at the top and engage
downwards.
Towing another vehicle
Insert a screwdriver in the slot at the
lower bend of the cap. Release the
cap by carefully moving the
screwdriver downwards.
The towing eye is stowed with the
vehicle tools 3 227.

Customer information287Vehicle data recording
and privacy
Event data recorders Data storage modules in the
vehicle
A large number of electronic
components of your vehicle contain
data storage modules temporarily or
permanently storing technical data
about the condition of the vehicle,
events and errors. In general, this
technical information documents the
condition of parts, modules, systems
or the environment:
● operating conditions of system components (e.g. filling levels)
● status messages of the vehicle and its single components (e.g.
number of wheel revolutions / rotational speed, deceleration,
lateral acceleration)
● dysfunctions and defects in important system components● vehicle reactions in particulardriving situations ( e.g. inflation of
an airbag, activation of the
stability regulation system)
● environmental conditions (e.g. temperature)
These data are exclusively technical
and help identifying and correcting
errors as well as optimising vehicle
functions.
Motion profiles indicating travelled
routes cannot be created with these
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 are deleted from
the error storage module or they are
constantly overwritten.When using the vehicle, situations
may occur in which these 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.
