recirculation mode.
9 Warning
The exchange of fresh air is
reduced in air recirculation mode.
In operation without cooling the air humidity increases, so the
windows may mist up from inside.
The quality of the passenger
compartment air deteriorates,
which may cause the vehicle
occupants to feel drowsy.
In warm and very humid ambient air conditions, the windscreen may mist
up from outside when cold air is
directed towards it. If windscreen
mists up from outside, activate
windscreen wiper and deactivate l.

switch off the cooling system for fuel
saving reasons.

Driving and operating157Note
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
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 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.
Note
When unscrewing the protective cap from the filler neck, ammonia fumesmay 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 left 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 3 207.

Rear view camera Depending on version, camera is
mounted above the license plate in
the tailgate / left rear door or at the top
of the left rear door.9 Warning

replace driver vision. Note that
objects that are outside the
camera's field of view and the
parking assist sensors, e.g. below
the bumper or underneath the
vehicle, are not displayed.
Do not reverse or park the vehicle
using only the rear view camera.
Always check the surrounding of
the vehicle before driving.

Lane keep assist
Lane keep assist helps to avoid
crashes due to unintentional lane
departures. A front camera located at the top of the windscreen observes
the lane markings between which the
vehicle is driving. If the vehicle
approaches a lane marking, the
steering wheel is gently turned to
position the vehicle back into the lane. The driver will then notice a turning
movement of the steering wheel. Turn
steering wheel in same direction, ifsystem steers not sufficient. Turn
steering wheel gently into opposite
direction, if lane change is intended.
When the system steers to correct the trajectory of the vehicle, a flashes
yellow in the instrument cluster.
A warning message in the Driver
Information Centre accompanied by a warning chime alerts the driver when
immediate driver´s action is required.
Unintended lane departure is not
assumed by the system when the turn lights are operated and during 20 s
after turn lights have been switched
off.
Note
The system may be switched off if it
detects lanes which are too narrow,
too wide or too curved.
Following preconditions have to be
fullfilled:
● vehicle speed must be between 65 km/h and 180 km/h
● the driver must hold the steering wheel with both hands
