Driving and operating1359Warning
If the vehicle battery is discharged,
the vehicle must not be towed,
tow-started or jump-started as the
steering wheel lock cannot be
disengaged.
Operation on vehicles with
electronic key system in case of
failure
If either the electronic key fails or the
battery of the electronic key is weak,
the Driver Information Centre may
display No Remote Detected or
Replace Battery in Remote Key when
you try to start the vehicle.
Hold the electronic key with buttons outside at the marking on the steering column cover as shown in the
illustration.
Depress the clutch pedal (manual
transmission) or the brake pedal
(automatic transmission or manual
transmission automated) and press
Start/Stop button to start the engine.
This option is intended for
emergencies only. Replace the
electronic key battery as soon as
possible 3 24.
For unlocking or locking the doors,
see fault in radio remote control unit
or electronic key system 3 25.
Power saving mode
This function manages the duration of
using certain systems to avoid
discharging of the vehicle battery.
After the engine has stopped, some
systems can still be used such as the audio and telematics system,
windscreen wipers, dipped beam
headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc. for a total maximum time of about forty
minutes.
Changing into power saving
mode
When a certain discharging status of
the vehicle battery is achieved, the
active functions are switched in
standby mode. A message appears in the Driver Information Centre
indicating Power saving mode .
A telephone call being made at this
time will be maintained for around 10
minutes with the Bluetooth handsfree
system of the Infotainment system.

142Driving and operatingAdBlue
General information The selective catalytic reduction
(BlueInjection) is a method to
substantially reduce the nitrogen
oxides in the exhaust emission. This
is achieved by injecting a Diesel
Exhaust Fluid (DEF) into the exhaust system. The ammonia released by
the fluid reacts with nitrous gases
(NO x) from the exhaust and turns it
into nitrogen and water.
The designation of this fluid is
AdBlue ®
. It is a non-toxic, non-
flammable, colourless and odourless
fluid which consists of 32% urea and
68% water.9 Warning
Avoid contact of your eyes or skin
with AdBlue.
In case of eye or skin contact,
rinse off with water.
Caution
Avoid contact of the paintwork with AdBlue.
In case of contact, rinse off with water.
AdBlue freezes at a temperature of
approx. -11 °C. As the vehicle is
equipped with an AdBlue pre-heater,
the emissions reduction at low
temperatures is ensured. The AdBlue
pre-heater works automatically.
Level warnings
The AdBlue consumption is
approximately 0.7 litres per 1000 km.
The consumption can be higher
depending on driving behaviour (e.g.
high load or towing).
Depending on the calculated range of AdBlue, different messages are
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre. The messages and the
restrictions are a legal requirement.
The first possible warning message appears at an AdBlue range below
2400 km, shows up at each start and each 300 km range reduction:
Top up AdBlue: Starting impossible in 2400 km
Additionally, control indicator Y
illuminates continuously and a chime
sounds with every message pop-up.
At an AdBlue range below 600 km,
the following warning message is
being displayed, shows up at each
start and each 20 km range reduction:
Top up AdBlue: Starting impossible in 600 km
Additionally, control indicator Y
flashes continuously and a chime
sounds with every message pop-up.
Note
In case of high AdBlue consumption,
the Driver Information Centre may
display this warning without the
previous warning stages.
The last warning level is entered
when the AdBlue tank is empty.
Restart of the engine is not possible.

Driving and operating143The following warning message is
being displayed and cannot be
dismissed:
Top up AdBlue: Starting impossible
Additionally, control indicator Y
flashes continuously and engine cannot be restarted until AdBlue tank
is being filled with at least 5 litres.
High emission warnings If the exhaust emission rises above a
certain value, warnings similar to the
range warnings will be displayed in
the Driver Information Centre.
Requests to have the exhaust system checked and finally the
announcement of the prevention of
an engine restart are displayed.
These restrictions are a legal
requirement.
Consult a workshop for assistance.Refilling AdBlueCaution
Only use AdBlue that complies
with European standards
DIN 70 070 and ISO 22241-1.
Do not use additives.
Do not dilute AdBlue.
Otherwise the selective catalytic
reduction system could be
damaged.
Note
Whenever a filling pump with a
nozzle for passenger cars is not
available at a filling station, use only
AdBlue bottles or canisters with a
sealed refill adapter for refilling, to
prevent splashback and overspill,
and in order to ensure that the fumes
from the tank are captured and do
not emerge. AdBlue in bottles or
canisters is available in many filling
stations and can be purchased e.g. at Opel dealers and other retail
outlets.
Since AdBlue has a limited
durability, check the date of expiry
before refilling.
Note
When AdBlue-tank is empty, refill at
least five litresto ensure that the new
AdBlue level is being detected.
In case AdBlue refill is not
successfully detected:
1. Continuously drive the vehicle for ten minutes making sure that
vehicle speed is always higher
than 20 km/h.
2. If AdBlue refill is detected successfully, AdBlue supply-
driven warnings or limitations will
disappear.
If AdBlue refill is still not detected, seek the assistance of a workshop.
If AdBlue must be refilled at
temperatures below -11 °C, the
refilling of AdBlue may not be
detected by the system. In this
event, park the vehicle in a space
with a higher ambient temperature
until AdBlue is liquified.

144Driving and operatingNote
When unscrewing the protective cap from the filler neck, ammonia fumes
may emerge. Do not inhale as the
fumes have a pungent smell. The
fumes are not harmful by inhalation.
It is recommended to fill the AdBlue
tank completely.
The vehicle must be parked on a level surface.
The filler neck for AdBlue is located
behind the fuel filler flap, which is
located at left rear side of the vehicle.
The fuel filler flap can only be opened
if the vehicle is unlocked.
1. Remove key from ignition switch.
2. Close all doors to avoid ammonia fumes entering the interior of the
vehicle.
3. Release the fuel filler flap by pushing the flap 3 179.
4. Unscrew protective cap from the
filler neck.
5. Open AdBlue canister.
6. Mount one end of the hose on the
canister and screw the other end
on the filler neck.
7. Lift the canister until it is empty, or
until the flow from the canister has stopped. This can take up to five
minutes.
8. Place the canister on the ground to empty the hose, wait 15
seconds.
9. Unscrew the hose from the filler neck.
10. Mount the protective cap and turn
clockwise until it engages.
Note
Dispose of AdBlue canister
according to environmental
requirements. Hose can be reused
after flushing with clear water before
AdBlue dries out.
