Driving and operating165Diesel fuel that meets standard
EN590 mixed with a biofuel that
meets standard EN14214 (possibly containing up to 7% Fatty Acid Methyl
Ester).
Diesel fuel that meets standard
EN16734 mixed with a biofuel that
meets standard EN14214 (possibly
containing up to 10% Fatty Acid
Methyl Ester).
Paraffinic diesel fuel that meets
standard EN15940 mixed with a
biofuel that meets standard
EN14214 (possibly containing up to 7% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
The use of B20 or B30 fuel meetingstandard EN16709 is possible.
However, this use, even occasional,
requires strict application of the
special servicing conditions referred
to as "arduous conditions".
For further information, contact a
workshop.
Caution
The use of any other type of (bio)
fuel (vegetable or animal oils, pure
or diluted, domestic fuel etc.) is
strictly prohibited (risk of damage
to the engine and fuel system).
Notice
The only diesel additives authorised
for use are those that meet the
B715000 standard.
Low temperature operation
At temperatures below 0 °C, some
diesel products with biodiesel blends may clog, freeze or gel, which may
affect the fuel supply system. Starting
and engine operation may not work
properly. Make sure to fill winter
grade diesel fuel at ambient
temperatures below 0 °C.
Arctic grade diesel fuel can be used
in extreme cold temperatures below
-20 °C. Using this fuel grade in warm
or hot climates is not recommended
and may cause engine stalling, poor
starting or damage on the fuel
injection system.

Accessories and vehicle modifications
We recommend the use of genuine parts and accessories and factory
approved parts specific for this
vehicle type. We cannot assess or
guarantee reliability of other products - even if they have a regulatory or
otherwise granted approval.
Any modification, conversion or other
changes made to standard vehicle
specifications (including, without
limitation, software modifications,
modifications of the electronic control units) may invalidate the warranty
offered by Vauxhall.
Furthermore, such changes may
affect driver assistance systems, may
impact fuel consumption, CO 2
emissions and other emissions of the
vehicle and cause the vehicle to no
longer conform to the operating
permit, impacting the validity of your
vehicle registration.

Vehicle care173Caution
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. Prevent the
vehicle from rolling.
● Engage first or reverse gear or set selector lever to P.
● 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. Note that all systems are
not functional, e.g. central locking system.
Anti-theft alarm system 3 31.
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. Initialize the power
windows 3 36.
● Check tyre pressure.
● Fill up the washer fluid reservoir.
● Check the engine oil level.● Check the coolant level.
● Fit the number plate 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, where legally required. Only
entrust this work to an authorised
recycling centre.

Vehicle care175Engine oil
Check the engine oil level manually
on a regular basis to prevent damage
to the engine. Ensure that the correct specification of engine oil is used.
Recommended fluids and lubricants
3 217.
The maximum engine oil
consumption is 0.6 l per 600 miles.
Check with the vehicle on a level
surface. The engine must be at
operating temperature and switched
off for at least 5 minutes.Caution
It is the owner's responsibility to
maintain the proper level of an
appropriate quality oil in the
engine.
Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean,
reinsert it fully, pull out and read the
engine oil level.
Different dipsticks are used
depending on engine variant.
When the engine oil level has
dropped to the MIN mark, top up the
engine oil. We recommend the use of the same grade of engine oil that was
used at last change.
The engine oil level must not exceed
the MAX mark on the dipstick.
Page 178 of 247

176Vehicle careCaution
Overfilled engine oil must be
drained or suctioned out. If the oil exceeds the maximum level, do
not start the vehicle and contact a
workshop.
Capacities 3 226.
Fit the cap on straight and tighten it.
Engine coolant The factory filled coolant provides
freeze protection down to approx.
-37 °C.
Caution
Only use approved antifreeze.
Coolant and antifreeze 3 217.
Coolant level
Caution
Too low a coolant level can cause engine damage.
If the cooling system is cold, the
coolant level should be above the
MIN mark. Top up if the level is low.
9Warning
Allow the engine to cool before
opening the cap. Carefully open
the cap, relieving the pressure
slowly.
To top up, use a 1:1 mixture of
released coolant concentrate mixed
with clean tap water. If no coolant
concentrate is available, use clean
tap water. Install the cap tightly. Have
the coolant concentration checked
and have the cause of the coolant
loss remedied by a workshop.
Washer fluid
Fill with clean water mixed with a
suitable quantity of approved
windscreen washer fluid which
contains antifreeze.

Service and maintenance217Recommended fluids,

Recommended fluids and lubricants
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 engine oil quality ensures e.g. engine
cleanliness, wear protection and
engine oil aging control, whereas
viscosity grade gives information on
the oil's thickness over a temperature range.
Select the appropriate engine oil
based on its quality and on the
minimum ambient temperature
3 221.
Topping up engine oilCaution
In case of any spilled oil, wipe it up and dispose it properly.
Engine oils of different manufacturersand brands can be mixed as long as
they comply with the required engine
oil quality and viscosity.
Select the appropriate engine oil
based on its quality and on the
minimum ambient temperature
3 221.
Additional engine oil additives
The use of additional engine oil
additives could cause damage and
invalidate the warranty.
Engine oil viscosity grades
The SAE viscosity grade gives
information of the thickness of the oil.
Multigrade oil is indicated by two
figures, e.g. SAE 5W-30. The first figure, followed by a W, indicates the
low temperature viscosity and the
second figure the high temperature
viscosity.
Select the appropriate viscosity grade depending on the minimum ambient
temperature 3 221.
All of the recommended viscosity
grades are suitable for high ambient
temperatures.
Coolant and antifreeze
Use only organic acid type-long life
coolant (LLC) antifreeze approved for
the vehicle. Consult a workshop.
The system is factory filled with
coolant designed for excellent
corrosion protection and frost
protection down to approx. -37 °C.
This concentration should be
maintained all year round. The use of additional coolant additives that
intend to give additional corrosion
protection or seal against minor leaks
can cause function problems. Liability
