Driving and operating143Driving hints
Control of the vehicle
Never coast with engine not
running
Many systems will not function in this
situation ( e.g. brake servo unit, power
steering). Driving in this manner is a danger to yourself and others.
All systems function during an
Autostop.
Stop-start system 3 147.
Idle boost
If charging of the vehicle battery is
required due to battery condition, the
power output of the generator must be increased. This will be achieved by an idle boost which may be audible.
A message appears in the Driver
Information Centre.
Pedals
To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats in
the area of the pedals.Use only floor mats, which fit properly and are fixed by the retainers on the
driver side.
Steering If power steering assist is lost
because the engine stops or due to a system malfunction, the vehicle can
be steered but may require increased
effort.Starting and operating
New vehicle running-in Do not brake unnecessarily hard for
the first few journeys.
During the first drive, smoke may
occur because of wax and oil
evaporating off the exhaust system. Park the vehicle in the open for a
while after the first drive and avoid
inhaling the fumes.
During the running-in period, fuel and engine oil consumption may be
higher.
Additionally, the cleaning process of
the exhaust filter may take place more
often.
Exhaust filter 3 151.
Autostop may be inhibited to allow
charging of the vehicle battery.
Ignition switch positions Turn key:

154Driving and operatingNotice
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 Vauxhall dealers and other retail
outlets.
Since AdBlue has a limited
durability, check the date of expiry
before refilling.
Notice
Refill the tank to a level of at least
5 l to ensure that the new AdBlue
level is being detected.
In case AdBlue refill is not
successfully detected:1. Continuously drive the vehicle for 10 min making sure that
vehicle speed is always higher
than 12 mph.
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.
Notice
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.
The AdBlue tank should be filled
completely. This must be done if the
warning message regarding
prevention of an engine restart is
already displayed.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 right rear side of the
vehicle.
If the vehicle is equipped with an
electronic key system, 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 3 203.

162Driving and operatingIf the vehicle is equipped with an
automatic transmission and the brake is not released automatically, make
sure the front doors are correctly
closed.Deactivation of automatic operation 1. Start the engine.
2. If the parking brake is released, apply the parking brake pulling the
switch m.
3. Take your foot off the brake pedal.
4. Press the switch m for at least
10 s and maximum 15 s.
5. Release the switch m.
6. Press and hold the brake pedal.
7. Pull the switch m for 2 s.
The deactivation of the automatic operation of the electric parking brake
is confirmed by o illuminating in the
instrument cluster 3 103 . The electric
parking brake can only be applied and released manually.
To reactivate the automatic
operation, repeat the steps described above.Functionality check
When the vehicle is not moving, the
electric parking brake might be
applied automatically. This is done to
check the system.

is indicated by a control indicator j
and by a vehicle message which is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.
Vehicle messages 3 115.
Apply electric parking brake: pull and
hold the switch m for more than 5 s.
If control indicator m illuminates,
electric parking brake is applied.
Release electric parking brake: push
and hold the switch m for more than
2 s. If control indicator m
extinguishes, electric parking brake is
released.
Control indicator m flashes: electric
parking brake is not fully applied or
released. When continuously
flashing, release electric parking
brake and retry applying.Brake assist
If brake pedal is depressed quickly
and forcefully, maximum brake force
is automatically applied.
Operation of brake assist might
become apparent by a pulse in the
brake pedal and a greater resistance when depressing the brake pedal.
Maintain steady pressure on the
brake pedal as long as full braking is
required. Maximum brake force is
automatically reduced when brake
pedal is released.
Hill start assist The system helps prevent unintendedmovement when driving away on
inclines.
When releasing the brake pedal after
stopping on an incline, brakes remain on for further 2s. The brakes release
automatically as soon as the vehicle
begins to accelerate.
