Functionality The traffic sign assistant systemdetects designated traffic signs via a
front camera and displays them in the
Driver Information Centre.
Traffic signs, which will be detected,
are:
Limit and no passing signs ● speed limit
● no passing
● end of speed limit
● end of no passing

Driving and operating147Road signs
Beginning and end of:
● city regions (country-specific)● motorways
● A-roads
● play streetsAdd-on signs ● additional hints to traffic signs
● restriction of trailer towing
● tractor constraints
● wet warning
● ice warning
● direction arrows
Speed limit signs and no passing
signs are displayed in the Driver
Information Centre until the next
speed limit sign or end of speed limit
is detected or up to a defined sign
timeout.Indication of multiple signs on the
display is possible.
An exclamation mark in a frame
indicates that there is an additional
sign detected which cannot be clearly
identified by the system.
The system operates without loss of
performance up to a speed of
200 km/h depending on the lighting
conditions. At night the system is
active up to a speed of 160 km/h.
As soon as vehicle speed becomes
slower than 55 km/h, the display will
be reset and the content of the traffic
sign page will be cleared, e.g. when
entering a city zone. The next
recognized speed indication will be
displayed.
Display indication
Information about the currently valid
traffic signs is available on the
designated traffic sign assistant page in the Driver Information Centre.
Additionally, the currently valid speed
limit is displayed permanently in the
lower line of the Driver Information
Centre. In case a speed limit with add-
on is available, a + symbol is
displayed in this area.
Choose ? via MENU and select
traffic sign assistant page with the adjuster wheel on the stalk 3 83.

Driving and operating149In some cases, traffic sign assistant is
cleared up automatically by the
system.
Clearing of traffic signs
There are different scenarios that
lead to clearing the currently
displayed traffic signs. After clearing,
the “Default Sign” is displayed in the
Driver Information Centre.
Reasons for signs being cleared: ● A predefined distance was driven
or time has elapsed (differs for
each sign type)
● Vehicle drives through a turn
● The speed becomes slower than 52 km/h (city entry detection)
Fault
The traffic sign assistant system may
not operate correctly if:
● The area of the windscreen, where the front camera is
located, is not clean or affected
by foreign items, e.g. stickers.
● Traffic signs are completely or partially covered or difficult to
discern.● There are adverse environmental
conditions, e.g. heavy rain, snow,direct sunlight or shadows.
● Traffic signs are incorrectly mounted or damaged.
● Traffic signs do not comply with the Vienna Convention on Road
Signs and Signals.Caution
The system is intended to help the
driver within a defined speed
range to discern certain traffic
signs. Do not ignore traffic signs
which are not displayed by the
system.
The system does not discern any other than the conventional traffic
signs that might give or end a
speed limit.
Do not let this special feature
tempt you into taking risks when
driving.
Always adapt speed to the road
conditions.
The driver assistance systems do not relieve the driver from full
responsibility for vehicle
operation.
Lane departure warning
The lane departure warning system
observes the lane markings between
which the vehicle is driving via a front camera. The system detects lane
changes and warns the driver in the
event of an unintended lane change
via visual and acoustic signals.
Criteria for the detection of an
unintended lane change are:
● No operation of turn lights.
● No brake pedal operation.
● No active accelerator operation or speeding-up.
● No active steering.
If the driver is performing these
actions, no warning will be issued.

150Driving and operatingActivation
The lane departure warning system isactivated by pressing ). The
illuminated LED in the button
indicates that the system is switched
on. When control indicator ) in the
instrument cluster illuminates green, the system is ready to operate.
The system is only operable at
vehicle speeds above 56 km/h and if lane markings are available.
When the system recognises an
unintended lane change, control
indicator ) changes to yellow and
flashes. Simultaneously a chime
sound is activated.
Deactivation
The system is deactivated by
pressing ), LED in the button
extinguishes.
At speeds below 56 km/h the system
is inoperable.
Fault The lane departure warning system
may not operate properly when:
● The windscreen is not clean.
● There are adverse environmental
conditions e.g. heavy rain, snow,
direct sunlight or shadows.
The system can not operate when no
lane marking is detected.
Fuel
Fuel for petrol engines
Only use unleaded fuel that complies
with European standard EN 228 or
equivalent.
The engine is capable of running with
fuel that contains up to 10% ethanol
(e.g. named E10).
Use fuel with the recommended
octane rating. A lower octane rating can reduce engine power and torque
and slightly increases fuel
consumption.

Driving and operating151Caution
Do not use fuel or fuel additives
that contain metallic compounds
such as manganese-based
additives. This may cause engine
damage.
Caution
Use of fuel that does not comply to EN 228 or equivalent can lead todeposits or engine damage.
Caution
Use of fuel with a lower octane
rating than the lowest possible
rating could lead to uncontrolled combustion and engine damage.
The engine-specific requirements
regarding octane rating are given in
the engine data overview 3 210. A
country-specific label at the fuel filler
flap can supersede the requirement.
Fuel additive
Fuel should contain detergent
additives that help prevent engine
and fuel system deposits from
forming. Clean fuel injectors and
intake valves will allow the emission
control system to work properly. In
certain countries fuel does not
contain sufficient quantities of
additive to keep fuel injectors and
intake valves clean. In these
countries a fuel additive is required for
some engines to make up for this lack
of detergency. Only use fuel additive
approved for the vehicle.
Adding fuel additive to the filled fuel
tank is required at least every 15,000 km or after one year, whichever
occurs first. For further information,
contact your workshop.
Prohibited fuels
Fuels containing oxygenates such as
ethers and ethanol, as well as
reformulated fuel, are available in
some cities. If these fuels comply with the previously described
specification, then they are
acceptable to use. However, E85(85% ethanol) and other fuels
containing more than 15% ethanol
must be used only in FlexFuel
vehicles.Caution
Do not use fuel containing
methanol. It can corrode metal
parts in the fuel system and also
damage plastic and rubber parts.
This damage would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty.
Some fuels, mainly high octane
racing fuels, can contain an octane
enhancing additive called
methylcyclopentadienyl manganese
tricarbonyl (MMT). Do not use fuels or fuel additives with MMT as they can
reduce spark plug life and affect
emission control system
performance. The malfunction
indicator light Z may illuminate 3 79.
If this occurs, seek the assistance of
a workshop.

Driving and operating153
The fuel filler flap can only be opened
if the vehicle is unlocked. Release the
fuel filler flap by pushing the flap.
Petrol refuelling To open, turn the cap slowly
anticlockwise.The fuel filler cap can be retained in the bracket on the fuel filler flap.
Place the nozzle in straight position to
the filler neck and press with slight
force to insert.
To refuel, switch on pump nozzle.
After the 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, turn the fuel filler cap
clockwise until it clicks.
Close the flap and engage.
Liquid gas refuelling Follow the operating and safety
instructions of the filling station when
refuelling.
Filling adapter
As filling systems are not
standardised, different adapters are
required which are available from
Opel Distributors and from Opel
Service Partners.
