Instruments and controls75Fuel range
Range is calculated from current fuel
tank level and current consumption.
The display shows average values.
After refuelling, the range is updated
automatically after a brief delay.
When the fuel level in the tank is low,
a message appears on the display
and control indicator Y in the fuel
gauge illuminates.
When the tank must be refuelled
immediately, a warning code appears and remains on the display.
Additionally, control indicator Y
flashes in the fuel gauge 3 72.
Average vehicle speed
Display of average speed. The
measurement can be reset at any
time.
To reset, press SET/CLR for a few
seconds while viewing this page.
Instantaneous fuel economy
Display of the instantaneous
consumption.

Driving and operating103Use only floor mats, which fit properly
and are fixed by the retainers on the
driver side.
Driving downhill
Engage a gear when driving downhill
to ensure that sufficient brake
pressure is available.
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.
Control indicator c 3 70.Caution
Vehicle equipped with electric
power steering:
If the steering wheel is turned until it reaches the end of its travel and
is held against that position for an
extended period of time, power
steering assistance may be
reduced.
If the steering assistance is used
for an extended period of time,
power assistance may be
reduced.
Power steering assistance should
return back to normal when the
system has cooled down.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.
Autostop may be inhibited to allow for
charging of the vehicle battery.
Ignition switch positions
Turn key:
120Driving and operatingThe 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.
Caution
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 3 169. A
country specific label at the fuel filler
flap can supersede the requirement.

Accessories and vehiclemodifications
We recommend the use of genuine
parts and accessories and factory approved parts specific for your
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, fuel
consumption, CO 2 emissions and
other emissions of the vehicle. They may also invalidate the vehicle
operating permit.
144Vehicle careDirectional tyres
Directional tyres must be mounted so that they rotate in the correct
direction. The proper rotation
direction is indicated by a symbol
(e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall.
Tyre pressure
Check the pressure of cold tyres at
least every 14 days and before any
long journey.
Do not forget the spare wheel. This also applies to vehicles with tyre
pressure monitoring system.
Tyre pressure 3 172.
The tyre pressure information label
on the driver's door frame indicates
the original equipment tyres and the
correspondent tyre pressures.
The tyre pressure data refers to cold
tyres. It applies to summer and winter tyres.
The ECO tyre pressure serves to
achieve the smallest amount of fuel
consumption possible.
Incorrect tyre pressures will impair
safety, vehicle handling, comfort and fuel economy and will increase tyre
wear.
Tyre pressures differ depending on
various options.
For the correct tyre pressure value,
follow the procedure below:
● Identify the engine identifier code.
Engine data 3 169.
● Identify the respective tyre.
For the tyres approved for your
vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of
Conformity provided with your vehicle or other national registration
documents.The driver is responsible for correct adjustment of tyre pressure.9 Warning
If the pressure is too low, this can
result in considerable tyre warm-
up and internal damage, leading to tread separation and even to tyre
blow-out at high speeds.
9 Warning
For specific tyres the
recommended tyre pressure as
shown in the tyre pressure table may exceed the maximum tyre
pressure as indicated on the tyre.
Never exceed the maximum tyre
pressure as indicated on the tyre.
If the tyre pressure must be reduced
or increased, switch off ignition. After
adjusting tyre pressure switch on
ignition and select the relevant setting on the page Tyre Load in the Driver
Information Centre 3 73.
